BY: Commissioner Helaine Zack, Chairperson, Finance and Infrastructure Committee
IN RE: COUNTY EXECUTIVE – CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM STUDY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County prepares a ten-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the County
Executive’s Recommended Budget every spring; and
WHEREAS the CIP typically projects tens of millions of dollars in capital needs over a ten-year period; and
WHEREAS during the Great Recession, CIP funding providing by the General Fund was significantly
curtailed, causing a backlog in projects; and
WHEREAS due to the COVID pandemic, funding has again been curtailed; and
WHEREAS Facilities Management (FM) had been working through the back log of projects when the
COVID pandemic redirected staff and resources to social distancing projects; and
WHEREAS the backlog of projects is again growing; and
WHEREAS the funding provided by the General Fund each year is never enough to handle all the project
requests from the County Executive departments, county-wide elected official’s offices, and the Board; and
WHEREAS prioritizing projects in the CIP is influenced by competing forces, resulting in a somewhat ad
hoc ordering of projects over the ten-year horizon, and critical infrastructure projects (e.g., parking lot and
road repaving, re-roofing, etc.) often being delayed; and
WHEREAS there are large new construction projects on the horizon, including those listed in the “Future
Projects” section of the CIP, that far exceed the CIP’s limited resources (e.g., two new district courthouses,
new dispatch center, steam plant decommissioning, new tactical training center for officers, various
upgrades to the circuit courthouse, major remodeling at the Jail, etc.); and
WHEREAS to help address the proper level of CIP funding and resources needed, and to streamline the
planning process, the County Executive requested a proposal for consulting services from P lante Moran,
LLC, an annual (competitively selected) contractor; and
WHEREAS the consulting project will include the following services:
Capital Needs
• Review existing CIP requests, current and past CIP plans, lists of future projects, sustainability plan
(in-process), etc.
• Visit the County’s buildings (campus, 52nd district courthouses, SOOB, SOHC) to evaluate their
condition (mechanical systems, interior finishes / fixtures, facility sites, energy efficiency /
sustainability, etc.)
• Evaluate the campus’ grounds and infrastructure (e.g., steam tunnels, electrical grid, etc.)
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 7, 2020

• Review relevant documentation, current CIP requests, and current and past CIP plans
• Determine the critical deferred maintenance that must be dealt with near-term

post-COVID
• Review possible decommission/demolition of buildings that are determined to be too inefficient /
outdated structurally to maintain (including the campus steam plant)
• Address relocation of displaced departments and the need for new building construction
• Document facility, grounds, campus, and infrastructure capital needs in a detailed report
• The report will show the type of capital need, its priority, and which building, location, or
infrastructure category the need is for.
• The capital needs will be translated into a prioritized list of capital projects along with their cost
estimates, prioritized over a ten-year period
• A database or spreadsheet will be provided that can be sorted by asset category, project type, and
building (or other location indicator)
• Incorporation of sustainability improvement recommendations identified in the County’s
Sustainability Plan
• Staffing needed to complete the increased number of capital projects each year will be included in
the cost projection
Process Re-Design
• Document best practices for capital planning from other jurisdictions and trade organizations.
• Review existing process documentation, CIP requests, current and past CIP plans , and County
policies and procedures on procurement, project approvals, contract approvals, fiscal approvals,
Board approvals, project management, etc.
• Interview staff to identify key decisions, hand-offs, and information requirements that occur in the
County’s CIP process; identify what works well and what is needed to achieve a more ideal future
state
• Summarize best practice Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the County, and comment on
adjusting internal processes to track them
• Prepare an Issues and Opportunities report and a Current State Process Map. These will
summarize people, process, technology, and policy issues that may require modification.
• Collectively decide on the process changes needed and jointly work together to implement them
• Joint presentation of a final report to the County Executive and the Board of Commissioners
WHEREAS the total cost of the capital improvement process study will not exceed $325,000 and should
take six to nine months to complete; and
WHEREAS this resolution complies with the “Responsible Contractor and Best Value Bid Evaluation
Standards for Construction Projects Policy;” and
WHEREAS funding for the study will be allocated from the General Fund Capital Reserve Assigned Fund
Balance (GL Account #383338).
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners approves the
one-time appropriation of $325,000 from the General Fund Assigned Fund Balance titled Capital Reserve
(GL Account #383338) to the Facilities Engineering Division (#1040801 ) for the Capital Improvement

and
WHEREAS the Michigan Supreme Court’s ruling has declared the practice of collecting surplus proceeds
from the sale of foreclosed properties without compensating the former property owners as unconstitutional
under Michigan’s Takings Clause; and

foreclosure sale for more than the amount owed in unpaid taxes, interest, penalties, and fees may have a
cause of action to seek recoupment of that surplus from the County of Oakland; and
WHEREAS it is in the best interest of Oakland County to conduct a forensic audit of the tax foreclosures

WHEREAS this incentive will realize a potential savings of $3,600,000 to $12,000,000 annually, depending
on factors such as the replacement rate of employees; and
WHEREAS a reduction in its workforce through voluntary means aids in the fulfillment of Oakland County’s
long-range plan of maintaining a balanced budget without the use of fund balance; and
WHEREAS this incentive will accelerate cost reductions annually, providing increased flexibility to fund
priorities in the budget, including compensation increases, needed capital improvement projects, and
enhancements to programs that assist the residents of Oakland County; and

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – FURTHER EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT COMPENSATION
INCENTIVE PROGRAM FOR OAKLAND COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE DEPUTIES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in 1967, the President’s Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice
released a recommendation that “All police departments should provide pay incen tives for college
education”; and
WHEREAS in 1973, the National Advisory Commission on Criminal Standards and Goals found that, “Every
police agency should immediately adopt a formal program of educational incentives to encourage police
officers to receive a college education”; and
WHEREAS the Commission further stated, “Incentive pay should be provided for the attainment of specific
levels of academic achievement.” and “This pay should be in addition to any other salary incentive”; and
WHEREAS the American Bar Association released a report in 1973 titled the “The Urban Police Function”,
which included the recommendation that “Individuals aspiring to careers in police agencies and those
currently employed as police officers should be encouraged to advance their education at the college level.
Communities should support further education achievement on the part of police personnel by adopting
such devices as educational incentive pay plans…”; and
WHEREAS research conducted by Jason Rydberg and Dr. William Terrill from Michigan State University
provides evidence that having a college degree significantly reduces the likelihood that officers will use
force as their first option to gain compliance. The study also discovered evidence of educated officers
demonstrating greater levels of creativity and problem -solving skills; and
WHEREAS the educational requirement for qualification to serve in an Oakland County Deputy Sheriff
position is a high school diploma or successful completion of General Education Develop ment (GED) test
plus possession of a current MCOLES license or current attendance at a Police Academy training or its

WHEREAS currently Oakland County does not provide a compensation incentive to attain higher levels of
education beyond the limited tuition reimbursement program offered to all county staff; and
WHEREAS a financial incentive program for educational attainment for Oakland County Deputy Sheriffs
has the potential of improving the quality of law enforcement services and assisting with the recruitment
and retention of high-quality individuals in these critical positions.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners requests that
the Oakland County Human Resources Department and the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office conduct a
thorough review of educational attainment incentive for law enforcement programs and present a report to
