Miscellaneous Resolution # 91001
BY: James D. Ferrens, County Commissioner - District #7
Hubert Price, Jr., County Commissicner - District #13
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, most 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, employees of Oakland County have been or 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 should armed warfare commence in the
Persian Gulf Region, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorizes the
county to supplement the military pay for employees called to active duty so
that they will receive total pay equal of their normal county compensation,
retroactive to the date of their military call-up.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

FISCAL NOTE (Misc. 91001)
BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE, DR. G. WILLIAM CADDELL, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #91001 - AUTHORIZE COUNTY TO
SUPPLEMENT PAY OF RESERVES CALLED TO ACTIVE MILITARY DUTY
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 employees are ordered to active duty the County no
longer pays medical benefits for the employee and his
dependents,
Currently seven (7) employees have been ordered to duty
and an additional ten (10) employees could be ordered to
duty,
3) The County is self insured for medical benefits,
4) The average annual cost to cover dependents of those
employees ordered to duty is $18,531 and $33,965 for
employees who may be ordered to duty,
The County has budgeted $61,846 for annual medical
benefits for these employees. These funds will be left
unspent if these employees are not replaced or their
positions are covered by overtime personnel,
6) Miscellaneous Resolution #91001 should be retitled to
"Authorize County to Continue Medical Benefits for
Dependents of Employees Called to Active Military Duty."
Finance Committee concurs with the Personnel Committee
Report.
