WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners seeks to compensate the Board Chair,
Board Vice-Chair, the Republican Caucus Chair and the Democratic Caucus

commensurate with other Counties in the region however other Boards of Commissioners in the
region receive additional compensation for their leadership roles within their organizations,

their additional responsibilities while serving in a leadership role within the organization.
3. The Oakland County Board of Commissioners seeks to compensate the Board Chair, Board Vice-
Chair, the Republican Caucus Chair and the Democratic Caucus Chair via an additional annual
stipend.
4. This will align leadership compensation to similar leadership positions within the region.
5. The additional compensation would equate to a twenty percent (20%) annual stipend for the
Board Chair and five percent (5%) annual stipend for the Board Vice Chair, the Republican and
Democratic Caucus Chairs.
6. The stipend will be paid only during the time in which they serve in the leadership role within the
