MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #06209
BY: Personnel Committee — Gregory Jamian, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: HUMAN RESOURCES — AUTHORIZE THE COUNTY TO SUPPLEMENT PAY AND PROVIDE
MEDICAL BENEFITS FOR DEPENDENTS OF EMPLOYEES CALLED TO ACTIVE MILITARY DUTY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, in 1991 during the Desert Storm Crisis in the Persian Gulf, the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners adopted Miscellaneous Resolutions #91001 and #91047, which authorized the County to
supplement military pay of employees called to active military duty; and
WHEREAS as a result of the September 11th act of terrorism against the United States, the Oakland County
Board of Commissioners approved Miscellaneous Resolution #01269 authorizing the County to supplement
the military pay and provide medical benefits for employees called to active military duty as a result of the
September 11 attack; and
WHEREAS employee activation for military service has continued due to military activity occurring in the
Middle East; and
WHEREAS Oakland County remains committed to supporting the Oakland County employees, who out of
commitment to the protection of our country, have dedicated their time and energy to serve as military
reservists.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorizes the
County to supplement, through December 31, 2007, the military pay for employees currently called to active
duty so that they will receive total pay equal to their County compensation retroactive to the date of their
military call-up.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that compensation be defined as the employee's published base salary and
service increment rate at the time of call-up, plus any merit increases or service increment changes which
could be scheduled if the employee were actively working at the County. The supplement will equal the
employee' compensation, less the employee's total military pay for the period for which the supplement is
being computed.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorizes the County to
provide, through December 31, 2007, the medical benefits of dependents of employees currently called to
active duty, so that they will receive the normal medical benefits retroactive back to the date of the employee's
military call-up.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Personnel Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

FISCAL NOTE (M.R. #06209)
BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE, CHUCK MOSS, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: HUMAN RESOURCES - AUTHORIZE THE COUNTY TO SUPPLEMENT PAY AND
PROVIDE MEDICAL BENEFITS FOR DEPENDENTS OF EMPLOYEES CALLED TO ACTIVE
MILITARY DUTY
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) It is requested that supplemental pay and medical benefits
of dependents for employees called to active duty be
authorized effective from the date of their military call-
up through December 31, 2007.
2) Currently, there are two (2) FTE County employees serving
active duty in the military, at a total hi-weekly
supplemental cost of $1,034.94.
3) The estimated time of service for the two employees ranges
from 24 to 35 months, and it is estimated the total cost to
the County will be $32,284.79 in supplemental pay.
4;
Due to the fact the County budget for salary and fringe
benefits is an amount equal to "full-employment",
sufficient funds should be available within the
departments' budget to cover the expense for employees
called tc active duty. However, should a department
require temporary replacement personnel on an emergency
basis to continue standard operations, additional funding
may be reouired.
5) At this time, no budget amendment is required.
