DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES/HEALTH DIVISION - 2002/2003 COMPREHENSIVE, PLANNING, BUDGETING AND CONTRACTING (CPBC) AGREEMENT ACCEPTANCE The Michigan Department of Community Health has awarded the Oakland County Health Division funding in the amount of $7,489,764 which is a 7.51% ($608,267) decrease from the Fiscal Year 2001/2002 amended allocation of $8,098,031. This agreement is for the period of October 1, 2002 through September 30, 2003. The grant includes funding for the creation of one Special Revenue position, Medical Technologist. The future level of service, including personnel, is contingent upon the level of funding for this program. Amos moved the Personnel Committee Report to the full Board with the recommendation this resolution be adopted. Supported by Buckley. Motion carried on a roll call vote: Dingeldey, Amos, Buckley, Brian and Suarez – yes Coleman – no Galloway and Gregory – absent DEPARTMENT OF PERSONNEL/INCENTIVE PROGRAM FOR RETIREMENT The Department of Management and Budget has projected a significant budget shortfall for fiscal year 2004 as a result of the combined impact of anticipated reductions in State funding, as well as reduced investment income and increased health care costs. One way of addressing the projected shortfall is to provide a strong incentive for County employees to retire. A retirement "incentive window" to currently eligible employees and an "early out window" to certain employees not yet eligible for retirement could generate an estimat ed annual savings of $7.4 million. Amos moved approval of the attached suggested resolution. Supported by Coleman.
