BY: James D. Ferrens, County Commissioner - District #7
Hubert Price, Jr., County Commissioner - District #8
RE: AUTHORIZE COUNTY TO SUPPLEMENT PAY OF RESERVES CALLED TO ACTIVE MILITARY
DUTY
TO: THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, thousands of reserves are being called to active duty as the
Mideast Crisis intensifies, and
WHEREAS, persons activated for military service generally take a
substantial pay cut and it appears that the Mideast Crisis may continue for many
months, and
WHEREAS, it is likely that some of the people employed by Oakland
County will be ordered to active duty and be forced to take a considerable pay
reduction in the process, and
WHEREAS, those who are activated for military duty because of the
Mideast Crisis face a potentially dangerous experience and should not have to
bear the additional burden of taking a pay cut.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes the county to supplement the military pay of employees
called to active duty so that they will receive total pay equal to county
compensation before leaving for military duty for the duration of the Persian
Gulf crisis.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
