Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Personnel Committee, having reviewed the above-referenced

with the following recommendations:
The Personnel Committee concurs with the General Government
Committee's recommendation contained in the attached report which limits the
pay supplement to six (6) months; and also recommends the following
additional amendments:
Retitle the resolution to read:
Pay Supplement for Employees Called to Active Military Duty During
Persian Gulf Crisis/War; and
Further amend the NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED paragraph as
follows:
Place a period following the word months and delete everything
thereafter.
Add the following additional paragraphs:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that "normal" compensation shall be defined
as the employee's published base salary and service increment rate at
the time of call-up, plus any merit increases or service increment
changes which would be scheduled if the employee were actively
working at the County, less the employee's total military pay for the
period for which the supplement is being computed; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the above supplement is being
authorized only for those employees activated during the period of the
Persian Gulf Conflict/War beginning on or after August 2, 1990, and
who were activated prior to the passage of this resolution; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that said limited authorization for military
pay supplement be effective only upon written acceptance between the
County Personnel Director and the duly elected bargaining
representatives of the employees involved and the binding
acknowledgement by those employee representatives that this action
will not set a precedent nor prejudice the County's rights in the
future.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Personnel Committee, I move
acceptance of the foregoing report.

FISCAL NOTE (Misc. 91047)
BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE, DR. G. WILLIAM CADDELL, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #91047 - BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
SUPPORT-EMPLOYEE ACTIVE MILITARY RESERVES OF DESERT STORM
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XI-C of this Board, the Finance Committee has
reviewed Miscellaneous Resolution #91001 and finds:
1) When Oakland County employees are ordered to active duty,
the military pay received may be lower than the normal
county compensation thereby causing an economic hardship
on the employee and his dependents,
2) Of the seven (7) employees ordered to active military
duty, five (5) employees may receive less compensation,
3) The estimated cost to the County to supplement the pay of
these five (5) employees for a period of six (6) months
falls in a range between $7,779-$10,140 for compensation
exempt from FICA and income tax withholding,
The authorized representative will be required to submit
a copy of the military pay voucher and a copy of the
military orders relating to the active status period to
the Personnel Department in order to participate in the
program,
5) A third quarter adjustment may be recommended as all
supplemental payments will be identified by that time as
well as savings in regular salaries relating to these
vacancies,
Miscellaneous Resolution #91047 should be retitled to
"Authorize County to Supplement Military Pay of Employees
Called to Active Military Duty During Persian Gulf
Crisis/War",
7) Finance Committee concurs with the General Government and
Personnel Committees,
8) No budget amendment is recommended.
