Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the State Tax Commission has set required certification levels for assessors based on state
equalized values; and
WHEREAS those requirements do not include a minimum educational requirement for admission to the
certification program; and
WHEREAS recruitment statistics since 2012 show a decrease in the pool of interested and qualified
applicants for Equalization Appraiser positions state-wide; and
WHEREAS competition for qualified applicants in the labor market is very high; and
WHEREAS finding applicants that possess both the required certification as well as the current
Bachelor's degree requirement has proven to be difficult; and
WHEREAS the Human Resources Department and Management & Budget Department agree that
removing the Bachelor's Degree requirement would increase the applicant pool from which to hire; and
WHEREAS there is a declining number of Certified Master Appraisers in the State of Michigan that
generally hold management positions creating potential recruitment and retention issues; and
WHEREAS the Human Resources Department has conducted a salary survey on these positions and
found that salaries in this field have increased placing the County below the market average salary for the
Master Appraiser positions; and
WHEREAS the County Executive is requesting to remove these classifications from the Salary
Administration Plan; and
WHEREAS it is proposed to create a new classification of Equalization Officer, with a salary excepted
from the Salary Administration Plan and exempt from overtime; and
WHEREAS it is proposed to retitle the Manager-Equalization to the new title of Equalization Officer; and
WHEREAS it is proposed to delete the classification of Chief Equalization Field Services because it is no
longer used; and
WHEREAS it is proposed to provide a two percent (2%) retention bonus to those employees who are
classified as Equalization Appraiser II and possess a Michigan Advanced Assessing Officer Certification
from the State of Michigan in order to assist with retaining these employees; and
WHEREAS funding is available in the Rate and Classification account to support the changes in salaries.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorizes the
changes listed below to the Salary Administration Plan.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED to create a new classification titled Equalization Officer, Exempt from
