obligation. All capital projects funded from the Capital
Improvement Fund shall require approval of the Board of
Commissioners on recommendation of the appropriate liaison
committee (Planning and Building Committee) prior to

except that transfers within and between budgeted funds and
departments may be made by the Fiscal Officer in the following
instances:
(a) Transfers may be made from the non-departmental
overtime reserve account and fringe benefit adjustment account

Additionally, overtime appropriations may be transferred
between divisions within a department at the request of the
Department Head, if authorized by the Fiscal Officer or his
designee.
(b) Transfers may be made from the non-departmental
appropriation reserve accounts for Maintenance Department
Charges and Miscellaneous Capital Outlay to the appropriate
departmental budget as specific requests for these items are
reviewed and approved by the Fiscal Officer.
(c) Transfers may be made from the non-departmental
appropriation reserve accounts Emergency Salaries and Summer
Help as specific requests for these items are reviewed and
approved by the Personnel Department.
(d) Fringe benefit rates shall be established annually
in the budget process to charge all Governmental, Special
Revenue and Proprietary funded agencies for actual employer
fringe benefit costs. Such rates shall be sufficient to meet
all fringe benefit costs including sick leave and annual leave
accumulations, as well as retirees' hospitalization and
retirement administration. All funds collected for
Retirement, Social Security (FICA), Hospitalization for active
and retired employees, Disability, Dental, Optical, and Life
and Accident Insurance shall be transferred to the Employee
Fringe Benefit Fund as established by Miscellaneous Resolution
#81-312. Sufficient funds shall be maintained in the Employee

leave to cover the accumulated liability at an amount equal to
50% of the sick leave accumulation and 100% of the annual
leave accumulation. All funds collected by Workers'

without approval from the Finance Committee of the Board of
Commissioners.

reserve account Office Automation and Computer Services-

part of the County Executive's Quarterly Financial Forecast.
(g) Prior approval of the Finance Committee shall be
required for any expenditure from the professional services
account in the Administrative Division of the Department of

appropriate budget amendments in accordance with present rates
to accommodate Township contracts for patrol services. The
Finance Officer shall report such amendments to the Finance,
Public Services and Personnel Committees on a timely (as they
occur) basis.
22. The Board of Commissioners may make supplemental
appropriations by amending this general appropriations measure
as provided by this resolution, provided that revenues in
excess of those anticipated in the original general
appropriations measure become available due to:
(a) An unobligated surplus from prior years becoming
available;
(b) Current year revenue exceeding original estimate in
amounts great enough to finance increased appropriations.
The Board of Commissioners may make a supplemental
appropriation by increasing the dollar amount of an
appropriation item in the original general appropriations
measure or by adding additional items. At the same time the
estimated amount from the source of revenue to which the
increase in revenue may be attributed shall be increased, or
other source and amount added in a sum sufficient to equal the
supplemental expenditure amount. In no case may such
appropriations cause total estimated expenditures, including
an accrued deficit, to exceed total estimated revenues,
including an unappropriated surplus.
23. Whenever it appears to the County Executive or the Board of
Commissioners that actual and probable revenues in any fund
will be less than the estimated revenues upon which
appropriations from such fund were based, the County Executive
shall present to the Board of Commissioners recommendations
which, if adopted, will prevent expenditures from exceeding
available revenues for the current fiscal year. Such
recommendations shall include proposals for reducing
appropriations, increasing revenues, or both. After receiving
the recommendations of the County Executive for bringing
appropriations into balance with estimated revenues, the Board
of Commissioners shall amend the general appropriations
measure to reduce appropriations or shall approve such
measures necessary to provide revenues sufficient to equal
appropriations, or both.
24. All appropriations are annual and the unexpended portion shall
lapse at year end. Encumbrances and appropriations carried
forward will be recorded as a reservation of fund balance and
the subsequent year's budget amended to provide authority to
complete these transactions, as defined in NCGA, Statement 1.
The recommended year-end budget amendment shall be supported
with a statement of revenues and expenditures and operating
surplus or deficit which shall contain the following data:
(1) budget as adopted; (2) budget amendments; (3) budget as
adjusted; (4) revenues and expenditures, operating surplus or
deficit; (5) accrued revenue and expenditures; (6) transfers;
(7) total revenues and expenditures and transfers, operating
surplus or deficit, including accruals and transfers; (8)
encumbrances; (9) appropriations carried forward; (10) total
revenues and appropriations utilized, operating surplus or
deficit, including encumbrances and appropriations carried
forward; (11) balance of revenues not collected, unencumbered
appropriation balance, operating surplus or deficit; (12)
detail of adjustments to designated and undesignated fund
balance, detail of adjustment to reserves and/or any other
utilization of surplus; (13) final surplus or deficit or
undesignated fund balance carried forward to the subsequent
year's budget.
25. A member of the Board of Commissioners, the County Executive,
any elected officer, the Fiscal Officer, any other
administrative officer or employee of Oakland County shall not
create a debt, incur a financial obligation on behalf of the
County against an appropriation account in excess of the
amount authorized nor apply or divert money of the County for
purposes inconsistent with those specified in this general
appropriations measure as approved and amended by the Board of
Commissioners. Funds shall not be expended or transferred
from "off-budget" or balance sheet reserve accounts,
contingent liability accounts, designated and undesignated
fund balances without specific appropriation or other
appropriate action by the Board of Commissioners.
26. Any violation of the general appropriations measure by the
County Executive, the Fiscal Officer, any administrative
officer, employee or member of the Board of Commissioners
detected through application of generally accepted accounting
procedures utilized by Oakland County or disclosed in an audit
of the financial records and accounts of the County shall be
filed with the State Treasurer and reported by the State
Treasurer to the Attorney General. Pursuant to Public Act 621
of 1978, the Uniform Budgeting Act, the Attorney General shall
review the report and initiate appropriate action against the
person or persons in violation. For use and benefit of the
County of Oakland, the Attorney General or Prosecuting
Attorney may institute a civil and/or criminal action in a
court of competent jurisdiction for the recovery of County
funds disclosed by an examination to have been illegally
expended or collected as a result of malfeasance, and for the
recovery of public property disclosed to have been converted
or misappropriated.
27. The provisions of this act shall be applied to the General
Fund and all Special Revenue and Proprietary Funds of the
County, including Enterprise Funds and Internal Service Funds.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move
the adoption of the foregoing resolution which embodies the
1993 General Appropriations Act as detailed in the 1993 Budget
document, including subsequent amendments.
