CIRCUIT COURT/FAMILY DIVISION - OAKLAND COUNTY CHILD CARE FUND BUDGET 2004- 2005 Circuit Court/Family Division is requesting authorization to submit its Child Care Fund Budget (CCFB) for the period covering October 1, 2004, through September 30, 2005. Figures are estimates for State Child Care Fund budgeting purposes, based on current available data, and may not reflect the eve ntual adopted budget and/or expenditures for this program. The application reflects $27,301,865 in gross expenditures and $4,442,641 in offsetting revenues, leaving a net expenditure of $22,859,224, to be shared 50/50 by the State and County. The County has budgeted $9,700,000 for FY 2005. Zack moved approval of the attached suggested Fiscal Note. Mr. Soave noted that Item #20 on the agenda identifies a large variance as a result of unpaid invoices from prior years. Ms. Langton explained that once the Court orders out-home placement, a child goes through an extensive screening process to determine what the best placement would be for their circumstances. The Court will be undertaking a program review to try and identify additional placement alterna tives. Out-home placement numbers are not increasing but length of stay is, partly due to a rise in psychiatric care issues. Ms. Warner expressed her concern about the rapid growth in caseload for FIA staff. Mr. Cooperrider indicated that twenty -five percent of these children were hospitalized for psychiatric treatment prior to being placed. Ms. Van Pelt advised the Committee that the County is concerned that the costs for psychiatric care do not belong in the Child Care Fund Budget. Ms. Zack asked if State budget problems were impacting caseload costs being passed on to the County. Mr. Soave and Ms. Van Pelt explained that there is no contracted capped amount for the Child Care Fund Budget. This is a 50/50 reimbursement agreement that requires t he County to share the risk if costs are higher than estimated. Mr. Kaufman explained that caseload figures are based on a worse case scenario and reiterated the difficulty in finding placement for children with psychiatric problems. Ms. Warner stated that they are not anticipating expending more than the $4.7 million budgeted for foster care/Institutional care for this next fiscal year, of which $2.7 million has been appropriated by the County. Mr. Moss asked about the outstanding issue of unpaid invoices from previous years' accounts receivables. Mr. Kaufman stated that it was his intent to manage costs more closely so that a shorter time frame exists between service delivery and payment processing. Mr. Harris stated that the FIA Board carefull y reviewed the costs to the County's CCF Budget and has been assured by the FIA that they will be monitoring the situation. He also invited commissioners to attend FIA Board meetings. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote. 10. MR #04199 - PROSECUTING ATTORNEY/ADMINISTRATION DIVISION - REORGANIZATION OF CASE RECORDS AND DELETION OF ONE (1) GF/GP OFFICE SUPERVISOR II POSITION FINANCE COMMITTEE Page 5 September 2, 2004 The Prosecuting Attorney is requesting authorization to reorganize its Case Records Unit by deleting one General Fund/General Purpose Office Supervisor II position and by transferring one Office Assistant II position to the Litigation Division and three other Case Record positions to other units within the Administration Division.

DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET - FISCAL YEAR 2004 THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL FORECAST AND BUDGET AMENDMENTS Mr. Soave indicated that Management and Budget is forecasting a $13 mi llion favorability for General Fund/General Purpose operations for FY 2004. Page 29 of the material identifies the unfavorable forecast of $868,000 resulting from the FIA's receipt of prior year's invoices for private agency services from 1999 - 2003. However, this resolution does not address that variance. Ms. Zack asked if there were checks and balances in place so that this type of situation does not continue. Ms. Warner explained that the majority of these invoices were for 2003. What the FIA has se en in some FINANCE COMMITTEE Page 8 September 2, 2004 cases is that private agencies will go back and review their records and find they have not been paid for specific services. The FIA often does reconciliation of billing for previous years and, in this instance, the larger cost for mental health institutions is for bills that were not paid for a particular child. Ms. Van Pelt explained that Oakland County contracts with outside agencies contain an end date of 30 days to submit invoices. The FIA has a master contract that does not set an end da te to present invoices. Mr. Moss noted his concern that the FIA does not better manage this aspect of service and asked Ms. Warner how they intended to correct this problem. Ms. Warner indicated that, until just recently, the FIA was not aware of the si tuation. She explained that FIA staff will be meeting with contracted private agencies to discuss this matter, will be meeting with staff regarding the efficient processing of invoices and will communicate with the County in a more efficient manner. Ms. Van Pelt indicated that the County has no precedent in experiencing this type of situation. She suggested that the issue of payment be referred over to the Audit Subcommittee. Mr. Crawford asked if the FIA could amend its contract language to include a time limit for submission of invoices. Ms. Warner indicated she would discuss this suggestion with state officials. Bullard moved approval of the attached suggested resolution. Supported by Webster. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote. Webster moved to refer the FIA issue and back invoices to the Audit Subcommittee for recommendation back to the Finance Committee. Supported by Palmer. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote. 21. PURCHASING DIVISION CONTRACT EXCEPTION REPORT As requested at the August 12, 2004, Finance Committee meeting, a copy of the County's contract with Coates Communication Consulting LLC for $116,000 for the period July 30, 2004, through July 31, 2005 was included in the agenda packet. A draft resolution was added to the agenda as Item 22 to formally authorize the contract. Suarez moved approval of the attached suggested Resolution. Supported by Bullard. Mr. Daddow apologized for inadvertently not following County purchasing procedures. He explained h is need to retain Pat Coates as project manager for the County's new $40 million dollar emergency radio communication system. Ms. Coates has functioned as project manager since the inception of the project four years ago, first as a full-time employee and then, following her retirement, as a 1,000 part -time employee. Her 1,000 hours of service have now expired. The project is in the critical construction stage, necessitating the need to complete negotiations with local units of government to secure sites and cooperation to complete the building of 36 communication towers. Ms. Coates has formed Coates Communication Consulting, LLC to provide consulting services to various entities and to provide the County with her expertise to complete the County's radio communications project. Mr. Daddow stated that Ms. Coates has an incredible institutional history and has negotiated many of the completed agreements with the local units. She is also the County's PSAP Coordinator and sits on several key statewide committees dealing with frequency issues. The alternative would be to contract for project FINANCE COMMITTEE Page 9 September 2, 2004 management with a consultant at a rate of about $150 an hour. Several committee members expressed their concern regarding the practice of allowing retired employees to be hired back as contractors. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote.

THE COMMITTEE RECESSED FROM 11:39 A.M. - 11:43 A.M. BUDGET WRAP-UP SESSION FY 2005 AND FY 2006 COUNTY EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDED BUDGET - SUMMARY OF FINANCE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS Suarez moved to recommend approval of the County Executive's FY 2005 and FY 2006 Recommended Budget. Supported by Palmer. Section B.1. - B.2. - Personnel Committee Recommended Amendments B.1. - Circuit Court/Court Business Division - to not delete three student positions as recommended to not create one FTE Clerk position as recommended Gregory moved approval of amendment B.1. Supported by Webster. Mr. Oeffner spoke on behalf of the Chief Judge, explaining that the Circuit Court had reached its $2 million budget task through elimination of 17 full-time positions, three of which were in the Court Business Division. Since then, the Division has expanded and there are some gaps in office coverage. Mr. Oeffner indicated that there are currently 19 student positions within the C ircuit Court and that it is important to the Court to maintain these positions for educational purposes and as perspective employees. However, it would be more appropriate in this instance to have one full -time employee rather than three student positions whose school schedules affect their availability. Mr. Jamian explained that a majority of the Personnel Committee felt it was a healthy thing to maintain student employment and if there was a need for a full -time position it should come before the Committee at a later date. Ms. Scarlet explained that the Court had asked to fill a need for a given assignment in a more appropriate manner.
