BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE, JOHN P. McCULLOCH, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT - UTILIZATION OF INMATE LABOR -
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #94201
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Finance Committee, having reviewed the above referenced
resolution, reports as follows:
1. The resolution authorizes continuation of current
Sheriff Department practice of providing trusty labor
to cities, townships, villages, and non-profit agencies
for various requested projects.
2. There is no incremental cost to the County and the
Sheriff in providing trusty labor due to the following
factors:
a. The Sheriff's policy of utilizing trusties only if
straight-time staff is available to provide
adequate supervision and control;
b. The Sheriff has sufficient budgeted trusty
transportation resources;
c. The requesting entity has responsibility to
provide equipment, material, tools, etc.
3. Should there be an extraordinary expense associated
with the use of trusty labor, such as staff overtime or
unusual transportation cost, the Sheriff will invoice
the requesting entity for the expense.
4. The Sheriff Department will report to the Public
Services Committee in six (6) months as to use of
trusty labor by other entities and staff coverage.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move
acceptance of the foregoing report.
