MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION 97200
BY: PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE, SHELLEY TAUB, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: PROSECUTING ATTORNEY - CREATION OF ONE (1) GOV VICTIM SERVICES
SUPERVISOR POSITION AND RELATED PERSONNEL ACTIONS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Prosecuting Attorney has recently had the opportunity to review the
function and staffing needs of the Victim/Witness unit; and
WHEREAS the Victim/ Witness unit is currently focused on meeting all legal
requirements of the Crime Victim Rights Act regarding victim notification and information
regarding the court process; and
WHEREAS the unit is not sufficiently qualified nor currently staffed to meet the
emotional and crisis related needs of adult victims of crime; and
WHEREAS this situation also makes successful prosecutions more difficult; and
WHEREAS the State of Michigan Crime Services Commission has recently recognized
this need, and extended funding of $45,000 for additional Victim/Witness staff, provided a
clerical position was also added to the unit. The Prosecutor has identified a Typist II position in
the Executive Staff unit for transfer to the Victim/Witness unit, and proposes a new classification
and position of Victim Services Supervisor to utilize the new funding, and
WHEREAS the current Victim Advocate Supervisor position would be retitled to Victim
Rights Leader with no change in salary grade, and continue to assist the department in meeting
the legal requirements of the Crime Victim Rights Act; and
WHEREAS the funding of $45,000 from the State Crime Services Commission would
partially offset 1997 position salary and fringe costs of $58,254, leaving a County requirement of
$13,254, or 23%.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners approves the following staffing changes:
1.) A new classification and GOV position of Victim Services Supervisor at salary grade 13,
regular overtime, be created in the Victim/Witness unit of the Prosecuting Attorney.
2.) The Victim Advocate Supervisor position be re-titled to Victim Rights Leader with no
change in salary grade.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that continuation of this position is based on future
funding availability.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Public Services Committee, I move the adoption of the
foregoing resolution.
