BY: General Government Committee, William R. Patterson, Chairperson
IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY - CREATION OF SIX (6)
PROPRIETARY (PR) POSITIONS FUNDED BY REDUCTIONS IN PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES AND EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE FUNDS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County uses a fiber optic and T-1 network called OakNet to connect the
County's service complex network to all cities, villages and townships within the County borders as
well as to CLEMIS customers; and
WHEREAS since 1999 Oakland County has contracted with skilled specialists to provide OakNet
infrastructure support, maintenance, and upgrade services; and
WHEREAS County employees have acquired from these consultants the critical elements of
network design and roll-out, equipment selection and configuration, vendor training and education,
and effective daily network management, support, and problem response; and
WHEREAS it is not necessary for the County to pay professional services rates for contractors as
the funds can more cost effectively be applied to provide County network staff, address other critical
I.T. needs, and still provide a County savings; and
WHEREAS knowledge is displaced during contractor position rotation, and County positions will
better retain the critical knowledge base needed to provide long-term network stability; and
WHEREAS it is proposed that one (1) Data Security Specialist be created in the Network Services
unit of the Technical Systems & Networking Division to augment an existing position and meet the
County's expanded network needs, exposure to viruses and e-mail spam; and

Services unit of the Technical Systems & Networking Division to attend to urgent break/fix and
priority needs, focus on proactive and routine maintenance, as well as assist in evaluating various
hardware components and network management software; and
WHEREAS it is requested that two (2) Project Manager positions be created, one in the
eGovernment Services Division and one in the Application Services Division to define and manage a
backlog of projects that are critical to achieving the expanding program goals and business objectives
of these divisions; and
WHEREAS the cost of the requested positions and a $25,000 annual overall savings is proposed to
be covered by a transfer of IT Professional Services and Equipment Maintenance funds.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners authorizes the creation
of six (6) PR funded positions as follows:
- One (1) Data Security Specialist and three (3) Network System Specialists in the Technical
Systems & Networking Division.
- One (1) Project Manager in the eGovernment Services Division.
- One (1) Project Manager in the Application Services Division.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the cost of this proposal be covered through the transfer of

BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE, CHUCK MOSS, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY - CREATION OF SIX (6) PROPRIETARY
(PR) POSITIONS FUNDED BY REDUCTIONS IN PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND EQUIPMENT
MAINTENANCE FUNDS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XII-C of this Board, the Finance Committee has
reviewed the above referenced resolution and finds:
1. The resolution approves the creation of six (6) Proprietary (PR)
funded positions in the Information Technology Department as
follows: One (1) Data Security Specialist and three (3) Network
System Specialists in the Technical Systems & Networking
Division. One (1) Project Manager in the eGovernment Services
Division. One (1) Project Manager in the Application Services
Division.
2. The salary and fringe benefit cost of the positions is $609,593
for a full year, of that amount $281,350 will be transferred for
the six months remaining in FY 2006 and $617,694 for FY 2007.
3. The associated operating costs are currently budgeted within the
Information Technology fund with the exception of telephone costs
of $850 for FY 2006 and $1,200 for FY 2007.
4. The total position and operating cost for this proposal will be
covered through the transfer of existing funds from professional
services line item and equipment maintenance.
5. The creation of these positions eliminates the need for the
County to pay professional services rates for contractors as the
funds can more cost effectively be applied to provide County
network staff, address other critical I.T. needs and still
provide an estimated overall annual savings of $25,000.
6. The savings recognized to support the proposal, $12,500 for FY
2006 and $25,000 for FY 2007, is available from the Non-

reduced in FY 2006 and FY 2007.
