FY 06 BUDGET RECOMMENDATION
It has been determined that a significant $18 million FY 2006 budget challenge exists. This
"challenge" essentially represents the difference between the Board approved FY 2006
Budget Plan and the amount needed to fund new position requests, newly requested line -
item increases, cost of living adjustments, actuarially-mandated retiree health care funding
obligations and state-mandated child care funding obligations. The County Executive
recommends approval of only those new positions where funding offsets exist to fully
cover the cost of the position on an on-going basis. Only 6 GF/GP positions and 5 SR/PR
positions met this test of cost neutrality.
Chairperson Jamian requested this item be put on the list.
Chairperson Jamian stated there was no need to hold the extra Committee meeting
scheduled for July 26, 2005 and cancelled the meeting. There was no objection.

The County Executive is recommending the creation of one PTNE 1,400 hrs. /yr. GF/GP

52-3 Rochester Hills/Probation
The County Executive is recommending the creation of two GF/GP 1,000 hrs. /yr. PTNE
Probation Investigator positions and one GF/GP 900 hrs. /yr. PTNE Probation Investigator.
Transferring funds from the Training & Psychological & Medi cal Examinations to the Salary
and Fringes line item will offset the cost of these positions.

Examinations to the Salary and Fringes line item will offset the cost of this position.
