BOARD/COMMITTEE ACTION:
Human Resources Committee: 05/09/2018

PROPOSED FUNDING:
Non-departmental General Fund Classification and Rate Change line item.
OVERVIEW:
The State of Michigan Public Health Code Act #368 of 1978 requires that all local Health Departments
employ a Medical Director meeting minimum qualifications as set forth by the State. The Oakland County
Health Division employs a licensed medical doctor board certified in Preventative Medicine with a
concentration in Public Health or a licensed medical doctor who is board certified in a related specialty
and is board eligible for Preventative Medicine to provide expert support of communicable disease
control, TB control and the development and implementation of public health programs to meet the needs
of the community. This Medical Director is required to conduct research and provide solutions to
emerging diseases that have become treatment resistant, as careful monitoring of these emerging
diseases is critical to reduce the chances of an epidemic.
Recruitment for this position is highly competitive, and produces very few qualified candidates. The
Human Resources Department has conducted a survey of similar positions in other Michigan counties
and cities which shows that the current salary remains lower than market average. Based on these
findings, the Human Resources Department is recommending a 17.6% increase to be applied to the
salary of the Medical Director classification to make it competitive in the labor market. If approved, the flat
rate salary of the Medical Director in Health/Administration, position #1060201-00352, would be
$203,826. The increase would impact one (1) GF/GP FTE position.

IN RE: HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT — INCREASE TO MEDICAL DIRECTOR SALARY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XII-C of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed the above-referenced
resolution and finds:
1. Resolution authorizes an increase to the salary of the Medical Director's classification in Oakland
County's Health/Administration Division.
2. Recruitment for this position is highly competitive and often produces very few qualified
candidates. Human Resources surveyed similar positions in cities and counties throughout
Michigan and found Oakland County's Medical Director salary below the market average and
therefore recommends a 17.6% increase to the current flat rate salary; from $173,342 to
$203,826, an increase of $30,484.
3. The increased FY 2018 cost (prorated) of this General Fund General Purpose position is
$15,404; of which $11,138 is for salaries and $4,266 for fringe benefits. The FY 2019-2020
increased cost is $47,797 of which $34,561 is for salaries and $13,237 for fringe benefits.
4. Funding for FY 2018-2020 increase will come from the Non-Departmental Classification Rate
Change line item.
5. The FY 2018— FY 2020 budgets are amended as follows:
