FISCAL NOTE (Misc. #97282) December 11, 1997
BY: Finance and Personnel Committee, Sue Ann Douglas, Chairperson
IN RE: CLERK/REGISTER & PROBATE COURT - PERSONNEL ACTIONS RELATED TO THE
OPERATION OF THE FAMILY COURT: CREATION OF THREE (3) COURT CLERK POSITIONS, THREE
(3) CLERK III POSITIONS AND ONE (1) RECORDS CLERK POSITION IN THE COUNTY CLERK
DIVISION AND DELETION OF THREE (3) STUDENT POSITIONS IN PROBATE COURT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XII-F of this Board, the Finance and Personnel Committee
has reviewed the above referenced resolution and finds:
1. The Family Court established pursuant to PA 388 of 1996 becomes an
entity as of January 1, 1998.
2. The County Clerk has traditionally provided support to Circuit Court
judges. With the implementation of the Family Court, the County
Clerk will also need to provided support to the newly assigned
Family Court judges.
3. This resolution authorizes the creation of three Court Clerk
positions, three Clerk III positions, and one Records Clerk position
in the Clerk/Register of Deeds County Clerk Division to support the
additional duties.
4. Furthermore, the resolution deletes three Student positions in the
Probate Court Administration Division as they become vacant in order
to offset cost and equalize staffing levels. Since the positions
are currently filled and the cost savings is not known, no budget
reduction is presently being made. Once the Student positions
become vacant and are deleted, the funds will be returned to
contingency.
5. The following budget amendment is recommended:
County Clerk/Register of Deeds - County Clerk Division
