TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XII-G of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed the above referenced
resolution and finds:
1. The Oakland County Facilities Maintenance & Operations Department employs four
(4) Boiler Operators trained in the operation of boilers to provide heat/air to the
majority of County Buildings.
2. Of the four (4) available positions, two are currently vacant and two are currently filled
by Full Time Eligible (FTE) employees.
3. The Human Resources Department has made recruiting efforts through extensive
advertising.
4. The Human Resources Department conducted a local salary survey of similar
positions and it revealed that the current pay scale is significantly lower than market
average.
5. The Human Resources Department is recommending an increase to the salary range
for the Boiler Operator classification in order to make it more competitive in the labor
market and remove the classification of Boiler Operator, Over-Time Non-Exempt,
from the Salary Administration Plan.
6. The cost for the salary and fringe increase of four (4) FTE Boiler Operator positions in
the Facilities Maintenance & Operations Fund is $10,993 for the remainder of FY
2014; $47,062 for FY 2015; $55,840 for FY 2016; and $61,732 for FY 2017.
7 The Facilities Maintenance & Operations Fund will absorb the cost of the salary
increases in FY 2014 and will recover the increased costs of the positions in
subsequent years through the building space rates. FY 2015— FY 2017 will be
addressed in the County Executive Recommended Budget process.
