Supported by Gregory. Motion carried on a voice vote. AGENDA ITEMS 1. SHERIFF/CIRCUIT COURT – POSITION CHANGES TO REDUCE OUT-COUNTY PLACEMENT OF INMATES AND PREVENT JAIL OVERCROWDING The resolution authorizes the closing of the Sheriff’s L Building and the deletion of Unit 43417 and fourteen (14) General Fund/General Purpose positions. The resolution also authorizes the creation of 16 positions as follows: five (5) GF/GP Deputy I positio ns and one (1) GF/GP Deputy II position in the Sheriff Department/Corrective Services -Satellite Facilities Division/Work Release Unit; eight (8) GF/GP Deputy I positions in the Sheriff Department/Corrective Services – Satellite Facilities Division/Court Services – Transport Unit; one (1) GF/GP Program Evaluation Analyst and one (1) GF/GP Technical Assistant position in the Circuit Court/General Jurisdiction Division. The resolution also authorizes that the Chief-Court Clerk classification and position #35301-05628 be upwardly reclassified from Salary Grade 9 to Salary Grade 11, and one (1) Inmate Transport Van would be added to the County fleet. These actions came from suggestions made by the Jail Utilization Task Force to reduce jail overcrowding and the placement of inmates in venues outside of Oakland County. Chairperson Crawford suggested that it should be clear in the resolution that the positions, which would perform a “gatekeeper” function are funded by the State of Michigan. Mr. Daddow stated that he would bring more information to the Personnel Committee when they take up this item and suggest an amendment to the resolution. Potter moved approval of the attached suggested resolution. Supported by Zack. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote. 2.
