9. DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND CIRCUIT COURT/FAMILY
DIVISION/FRIEND OF THE COURT
The resolution would authorize implementation of a statewide Child Support Enforcement System
(MICSES). As part of the County’s on-going effort to comply with the federal mandate to
implement such a system by September 30, 2001, and to avoid further federal monetary penalties
against the State’s Family Independence Agency (FIA) for lack of compliance, Oakland County will
install and utilize the FIA’s version of the MICSES. Oakland County is proposing to develop a
direct communications link between the State and its Friend of the Court to enable independent
operation and support of the MICSES by the State. The County will operate and su pport
interrelated local systems through a Citrix application host and associated browser based
applications, independent from the State’s system. Costs to Oakland County are estimated at
$1,225,000 and are anticipated to be allowable under the Friend of the Court Cooperative
Reimbursement Program, with proportionate cost sharing of 2/3 by the State and 1/3 by the
County. A copy of Information Technology’s proposal for implementation was provided to the
committee and has been placed in the master file.
Senate Bill 235 would authorize the Family Independence Agency to pass financial penalties on to
counties if it is determined that counties have not complied with the FIA’s CSES memorandum of
understanding, failed to implement a CSES system meeting federal certification regulations, or
refuses to cooperate with FIA implementation activities. Mr. Poisson indicated that County
representatives would be meeting with State legislators regarding this proposed language.
Amos moved approval of the attached suggested Fiscal Note. Supported by Moss.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote with Causey -Mitchell absent.

Management and Budget and Circuit Court are requesting a transfer of 24 positions, as
detailed in the attached resolution, from the Reimbursement Division to the Friend of the
Court (FOC). This action would provide centralized supervisory and administrative control
for accounting and banking functions related to child support enforcement u nder Circuit
Court, aligning the County’s FOC accounting and banking functions with the organizational
model utilized by Michigan’s other 82 counties. This action would be retroactive to October
1, 2000. In accordance with P.A. 139 of 1973, a public hear ing has been scheduled for the
