In accordance with Miscellaneous Resolution #85339,
adopted November 21, 1985 by the Board of

caused by the officer or employee while acting within the
scope of his or her authority, the County shall pay for all
reasonable costs of litigation and engage or furnish the
services of an attorney in accordance with County policy to
advise the officer or employee as to the claim and to appear
for and represent the officer or employee in the action. The
County may compromise, settle and pay the claim before or
after the commencement of a civil action. Whenever a
judgement for damages is awarded against an officer or
employee of the County as a result of a civil action for
personal injuries or property damage caused by the officer
or employee while in the course of employment and while
acting within the scope of his or her authority, the County of
Oakland shall indemnify the officer or employee or pay,
settle or compromise the judgement. To be eligible for the
Defense and Indemnity obligations set forth in this
paragraph, officers and employees shall cooperate in all
respects with Corporation Counsel or assigned counsel in
defending the claim or lawsuit. When a criminal action is
commenced against an officer or employee of the County of
Oakland based upon the conduct of the officer or employee
in the course of employment, if the employee or officer had
a reasonable basis for believing that he or she was acting
within the scope of his or her authority at the time of the
alleged conduct, the County of Oakland shall pay for, engage
or furnish the services of an attorney to advise the officer or
employee as to the action and to appear for and represent the
officer or the employee in the action. To be eligible for
payment or reimbursement for counsel, an employee or
officer who is charged criminally must immediately provide
notice of and a copy of the criminal charges to Oakland
County Corporation Counsel. It is understood that the
bargaining unit member's obligation to provide immediate
notice to Corporation Counsel of any criminal action
requires the member to promptly provide notice as soon as
is practicable, but in no event, not later than fourteen (14)
calendar days after receiving notice of any criminal action.
Provided that the employee is otherwise entitled to have the
County pay for the services of an attorney pursuant to this
Article, the parties agree to identify a panel of five (5)
attorneys, from which a member may choose and who will
provide legal representation. The County, through the
Office of Corporation Counsel, shall select two (2) attorneys,
the Association shall select (2) attorneys and the fifth
attorney shall be by mutual agreement. In the event of a
vacancy in the panel it shall be filled by the party who
appointed the attorney who left the panel. In order to be
eligible for payment or reimbursement, the member must
select an attorney from the panel. It is understood that the
maximum payments from the County shall be pursuant to the
following schedule: Misdemeanors - $5,000; Non-capital
Felony - $15,000; and Capital Felony - $30,000. In the event
an attorney provides services through an hourly rate, the
attorney shall provide the County Department of
Corporation Counsel with monthly billings that do not
infringe on the attorney-client relationship. However, in no
event shall the County be liable for attorney fees in excess
of the amounts set forth above. Separate counts in a criminal
complaint or indictment shall not be aggregated (e.g., a
complaint/indictment count for a Non-capital Felony and
another count for a Capital Felony will result in a maximum
payment of $30,000; a complaint or indictment for three (3)
separate Misdemeanors will result in a maximum payment
of $5,000). Any attorney's fees in excess of the maximum
amount shall be the sole responsibility of the bargaining unit
member. Per MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #86124,
adopted May 8, 1986 by the Board of Commissioners,
"Officer(s) and Employee(s) of Oakland County" are
defined to include: Elected or Appointed Officers and
