MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION # 00060 March 23, 2000
BY: Finance Committee, Sue Ann Douglas, ,Chairperson
IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY - APPROPRIATION FOR UNFUNDED
STATE AND FEDERAL MANDATES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County has been and continues to be inundated with
unfunded State and Federal directives to perform services at new levels
requiring computer programming efforts; and
WHEREAS a conflict exists between the need to respond to an unfunded
mandate and the lack of authority to perform work toward the unfunded mandate
without an appropriation as required by the General Appropriations Act; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, by Miscellaneous
Resolution #99123, authorized amendments to the Fiscal Year 1999 Budget to
appropriate $693,005 for Department of Information Technology related costs of
Federal and State unfunded mandates in the previous fiscal year; and
WHEREAS an amendment is requested for the Fiscal Year 2000 Budget for
recently identified unfunded mandates and, also, to provide an allocation of
hours for mandates that may require minor programming during the fiscal year
but as yet are unidentified; and
WHEREAS a recently identified mandate is related to the Estates and
Protected Individuals Code (EPIC) which rewrites the Probate Code; and
WHEREAS, in order to satisfy EPIC mandates, the Probate Court must
modify its existing data system to accommodate changes by April 1, 2000, which
will require approximately 170 programming hours at $85 per hour for an
estimated cost of $14,450; and
WHEREAS, in addition, the recently enacted House Bill 5059 (Public Act
237) amends the Campaign Finance Law, thus requiring the Elections Division to
notify campaign committees regarding the new recording and reporting
requirements; and
WHEREAS it is estimated that 7-10 programming hours are required to
create the required report and mailing labels to meet this mandate which has
an April 1, 2000, deadline; and
WHEREAS the Department of Information Technology is requesting an
appropriation of $42,500 to provide an allocation of 500 hours for
miscellaneous mandates, such as the Campaign Finance Law mandate, that require
less than 100 programming hours; and
WHEREAS an allocation of hours for miscellaneous mandates would allow
the Department of Information Technology to respond promptly to such
requirements; and
WHEREAS the total additional appropriation requested by the Department
of Information Technology is $56,950 to provide an allocation of 170 hours for
the EPIC mandates and 500 hours for miscellaneous mandates.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes the following amendment to the Fiscal Year 2000
Budget to defray the Department of Information Technology related costs of
Federal and State unfunded mandates:
