BY: Commissioner Tim Melton, District #11
RE: Board of Commissioners - Candidate Questionnaires for Oakland County

TO: Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS on March 10, 2005, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners adopted
Miscellaneous Resolution #05040 - Publication of Oakland County Board of Commissioner
Appointments; and
WHEREAS MR #05040 recognized that in order to ensure that the widest audience of
potential candidates is reached, that efforts needed to be enhanced to maximize the
publication of position openings; and
WHEREAS in an effort to identify the best qualified candidates from the initial pool of
respondents, many Human Resources professionals request qualified applicants to submit
responses to questions that are specific to the position; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners would find it helpful and informative to gain
additional information about each qualified candidate as part of the selection process; and
WHEREAS the initial screening of applicants, based on responses to standardized
questions that are specific to the position, would also offer the opportunity to narrow the
field of candidates based upon desired qualifications for the appointed position; and
WHEREAS the initial screening of applicants, based on responses to standardized job
specific questions, would also be a helpful tool in identifying the top candidates for
interviews and/or consideration when a large number of applications have been received.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
hereby establishes a policy to provide standardized job specific questions to each qualified
candidate who submits an application for Board of Commissioners' appointed positions by
the designated deadline.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners' General
Government Committee shall be responsible for drafting the standardized job specific
questions, forwarding the questionnaire to the qualified candidates, and establishing the
deadline for questionnaire responses.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the General Government Committee shall receive the
responses from the candidates and determine which, if any, candidates will be scheduled
for an interview prior to voting on a recommendation to the Board of Commissioners.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing Resolution.
