Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote w ith Long and Greimel absent. 5. DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY – CONTRACT EXTENSION WITH BS&A SOFTWARE Information Technology is requesting extension of its contract with BS&A Software, which expired July 31, 2010 for a two -year period of August 1, 2010 to July 31, 2012. This contract has been in place since August 1, 2005. BS&A software is used to support the revenue generating functions of assessing, property taxation, multi-year special assessments and personal property E -filing and is the on ly provider of maintenance and upgrades to those systems. A Request for Proposal (RFP) to replace the system has been released and responses are due in September. Mr. Bertolini explained that at the time of the original contract five years ago this was the only software company certified by the State for compliance with Michigan laws regarding taxation and assessment. This company handles 90% of the systems in the State. A percentage of the Equalization contract rates charged to participating local units goes toward system costs but is lesser than if the local units were to perform this function on their own. P articipation in the system with the County also reduces their cost for software licensing. IT staff has attended conferences and encouraged out of state companies to become certified in the State of Michigan and is expecting several replies to the RFP with the hope that those additional certified companies will drive down the cost. The local units are also involved with the RFP process. Any gove rnmental units in the state that are not using this software are either performing these functions manually or are using a mainframe system. Douglas moved approval of the attached suggested Resolution . Supported by Gingell. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote with Greimel absent. COMMUNICATIONS A.

Supported by Gingell. FINANCE COMMITTEE Page 6 August 12, 2010 Motion carried on a voice vote. The Committee recessed f rom 9:25 a.m. – 9:31 a.m. FY 2011 – FY 2012 Budget Hearings: County Executive (Administration, Corporation Counsel, Risk Management) Representatives of the County Executive’s administrative and department staff were present to respond to questions. Mr. Daddow reviewed measures taken to reduce the Audit Division’s impact to the County’s General Fund Budget, including the downsizing of staff from 11 positions in 2009 to 4 positions in 2012. Several staff transfers to other departments were implemented earlier than projected and will result in a n additional one-time savings. One position will be moved to the Health Division to perform Substance Abuse Services contract monitoring and assistance with implementation of recommendations. The Professional Services line item is used by Risk Management for risk insurance, claims analysis, etc. Outside legal services to assist Corporation Counsel are funded under Building Liability. Public Services - (Animal Control, Community Corrections, Circuit Court Prob ation, Medical Examiner, MSU-Extension, Veteran’s Services) Mr. Zehnder and staff responded to questions regarding the use of overtime at Animal Control and car allowance for MSU-Extension, which is used for non-county employees. Circuit Court Probation has 114 staff with multi-line phones and they have been charged with improving supervision and monitoring of offenders by meeting with those offenders, their families and working with law enforcement . Mr. Poisson explained that the County is obligated to provide them with the equipment to perform this function. The Medical Examiner’s Office (ME) has improved expedition of toxicology testing for autopsies through realignment of staff and functions. Mr. Gerds offered statistics that indicated the length of time waiting for those results has been greatly reduced. There has again been discussion with Genesee County on contracting with Oakland County for services. If this occurs, it will come back to the Commissioners for approval. Dr. Dragovic explained that the ME’s position is to be on standby for any jurisdiction outside Oakland County statewide. The Laboratory Fees line item has increased as a result of the reorganization but may be adjusted going forward. All cremations within the County must be a pproved by the ME. The Cremation Approval Fees revenue line item receives these funds. Funeral homes are billed for this requirement but it is not known if they pass it on to the families. The Medical Services Physicians line pays for doctor depositions and testimony. Miscellaneous includes costs for other autopsy records, body bags, storage, etc. Mr. Poisson advised that Animal Control Services will be expanded to various communities which will require additional resources. A final plan is in review a nd discussion with the local units to make sure everyone understands what is required and this proposal will be coming before the Commissioners. Central Services – (Airports: Oakland County International/Oakland Southwest/Oakland Troy; Support Services – Motor Pool; Print Shop; Convenience Copier; Cafeteria) Mr. VanderVeen reported that all three airports are in the black and are not receiving assistance from the General Fund. The new Oakland County International Airport terminal is on schedule and should be completed July of 2011. As a result of the slowing economy and resulting less airport activity, several positions have been filled with part -time non-eligible employees. Regarding Support Services, last year the motor pool was reduced by 32 veh icles and 1.5 positions were eliminated. Some staff changes including retirements are forthcoming and the balance of the operations will be reviewed for further improvements. FINANCE COMMITTEE Page 7 August 12, 2010 Facilities Management Facilities Management is an internal services depa rtment and cuts were made to reduce rates prior to other departments doing their budget tasks . The County looks at market rental rates for its outside housing needs and as a benchmark for its own operations but the majority of these rates are calculated on a cost basis – what it cost the county to provide building and component space. Rate information is included in the recommended budget on page 566. The Oakland Pointe offices are in two “L” shaped buildings and they are being connected to reduce redun dancies in security. The Parks and Recreation Commission has notified the County that they are waiting 12 months while they work on their programming before brin ging the Farmers’ Market into their operation. Facilities will be looking at upgrades to see if they are necessary other issues such as the grounds, for which the County was going to provide assistance in maintaining . Economic Development and Community Affairs This is the first year that Waste Resource Management and the NO HAZ program have been incorporated into the Planning and Economic Development division’s budget so that has impacted certain line items such as Professional Services . The Dry Goods and Clothing line item includes logo items for client gifts. Commissioner Woodward asked that an accounting of the EDAC Profe ssional Services line item be provided to the committee. The Micro-Loan Program currently has 12 applicants now being counseled. The goal is to have a greater success rate so staff is spending a lot of time counseling . There is a phone line specific to this program and a webpage and traffic has increased dramatically on the site. Currently there is adequate program funding. Health and Human Services (Health, Children’s Village, Homeland Security) Mr. Miller reported that the number of Homeland Security staff has increased from 10 to 13 as a result of increased grants but several are part -time non-eligible positions. Only the manager and secretary positions are General Fund. A resolution was authorized a few years ago to privatize the Medical Care Facility known as Golden Oaks. Construction is ongoing and once the facility is built and the vendor is certified by the state the County will transfer its license and the residents will be moved to the new facility. A previously authorized Commission reorganization of Health eliminated positions and transferred some to Children’s Village to shore up those operations. Staff is always working to fill excess capacity and has housed kids from Genese e, Macomb and Jackson counties and is always in contact with those counties to see how well we are doing and look for improvements. On a daily basis there are any where from 10-15 beds available. This may be the result of the lawsuit that pushed the Michigan Department of Huma n Services to move kids faster to foster care . Some of those kids fail in the foster care system and come back. Additional beds have not been needed in quite some time. Staff monitors housing requirements to avoid overcrowding. If that should occur, the judges need to address the problem by moving them to other facilities or placing them on a tether. The Neglect and Abuse Unit has 44 beds and is always full. Best practices are constantly in review. Information Technology Information Technology (IT) rates were also reduced prior to other departments completing their budget FINANCE COMMITTEE Page 8 August 12, 2010 tasks. The $.05 increase in wireless surcharge approved by the Commissioners was specifically for CLEMIS operations and is shifted from the CLEMIS Fund to the Radio Communications Fund. Other IT personnel and programs are ineligible expenses . Contractual Services include s funds for disaster recovery. Professional Services is used to hire contractors. IT uses a selective outsourcing model for 30% of its work. Sourcing vendors is done in three-year increments and provides three years of rates. Last year IT vendors complied with a request to reduce their rates by five percent . A new Request For Proposal (RFP) is being done for the next three years and prices should be coming down because of economy. When IT needs a service, a vendor is contacted and that vendor sends a list of qualified staff. Many are local. IT is hoping to recover development costs from cloud computing in providing programs to other users. IT is also is keeping an eye on Google’s new market model of off -loading government services. There are legal issues as to privacy and as to cost for this effort. The County provides many local units with lines and high speed internet at no cost - government providing services to other governments. CVTs that use the County’s network have their email addresses placed over the County’s so it looks like it comes from them. Travel and Conference funds are used to educate staff and IT is anticipating that with its larger programs additional staff training will be necessary . The proposed budget a mount is the same as that for 2009. Mr. Soave explained that the County has a contract with Maximus that sets indirect costing rates . This is a requirement of federal grant regulation for internal services. Human Resources There are currently about 18 Human Resource position s in the Fringe Benefit Fund, which is under Management and Budget. Those positions actually work on employee benefit packages and this is considered a proper allocation of resources because employee benefit packages are for employees regardless of the funding source. Most of this cost is paid by other departments in the General Fund. About 25% is absorbed by other funds. Remaining HR positions are charged under indirect costing and the outside auditors scrutinize the rate that is passed through. Unemployment insurance increases are being driven by the economy, the federal government’s extension of unemployment benefits and increased layoffs. This has impacted all budgets. Ms. Scarlet added that some part -time employees could qualify for unemployment benefits if they meet a certain wage threshold. The 312 Arbitration award at 14% was higher than the 11% planned for and has added an additional $2 million in cost in pushing up bas e pay for those deputy positions. However, the award also required higher co -pays and deductibles on health care and required that new positions be under the Defined Contribution Plan. Management and Budget (MB) (Equalization, Fiscal Services, Purchasing, Reimbursement) Ms. Van Pelt explained that most MB activity is required by law or Commission resolution. The budget task was met by streamlining Equalization services through technology and the County recently received an award for these efficiencies. Five major contracts this year brought in over $500,000 which delayed further cuts. International standards suggest that the current level of service be handled by 107 positions and Equalization is providing that same level of service with 87 people and has cross-trained staff and is using part-time employees as well. Since 1999 fourteen positions eliminated. Four Parks and Recreation Commission (PRC) staff were transferred to Management and Budget/Fiscal Services with last year’s PRC reorganization . These positions are still housed at and work exclusively for PRC but they work under M&B’s organization and standards. These positions are charged to the PRC but M&B is hoping to be able to use them for other resources in the n ext year, which may impact the General Fund. M&B has also converted some positions from full time to part time. Prosecuting Attorney FINANCE COMMITTEE Page 9 August 12, 2010 The Prosecuting Attorney (PA) and staff were on hand to answer questions on their budget task. The West Law contract was negated with the help of Management and Budget and Corporation Counsel. A new contract was negotiated that will save the PA $60,000 a year and includes all other county departments which should result in a total savings for the County of about $200,000. One set of Michigan’s Compiled Laws and one hard copy set of West Law printed material will continue to be utilized. Th e Prosecutor assigned to the Child Support Unit has brought in $1.5 million. This position is funded primarily by federal incentive funds. Other revenue projections have been adjusted as indicated in the Categorical budget. Ms. Meiers was transferred from Auditing and has been extremely helpful in working to utilize available funds to pay for programs. Prosecuting attorneys have been taken off lawsuits to focus on the Michigan Department of Corrections’ release of offenders into our communities . Ten appeals have resulted in offenders remaining in prison. The PA is still putting together data and a proposal to establish a specializ ed White Collar Crime program. A case regarding Michigan’s medical marijuana law was recently heard before the Michigan Court of Appea ls and the PA is awaiting the outcome. Sheriff The Sheriff has met his budget task for the next three years and review ed some of the larger cuts that have been made to date. Statistics show that the Sheriff is responding more to requests for assistance from the local units who are also having budget problems and are continuing to cut programs. Law enforcement contracts have been renewed but at lesser staffing levels for this same reason. The Sheriff receives Social Security payments for inmates who are housed at the jail. This is mainly Medicare/Medicaid dollars. Rental payments are for housing of the Aviation U nit’s two helicopters and the Sheriff’s command vehicles. One pilot was eliminated as well as a fixed wing plane donated by the Federal Government to the Sheriff. The increase in Professional Services was a result of the transfer of a Community Corrections pro gram last year and is used to pay for drug testing. The Forensic Lab is covering its costs and should achieve certification this fall that will allow it to do more and obtain certain kinds of grants. The 2.5% salary reduction for Fiscal Year 2010 is still in negotiation with the Union representing the Sheriff’s Road Patrol deputies. There are currently 10 vacant positions so the salary budget will be fairly on target at the end of the fiscal year. The bigger unit – Corrections Officers- has taken the cu t. Efforts to divert the mentally ill from the jail are continuing but the state keeps cutting the programs. Forfeiture funds go into a general ledger account and are not transferred to the Sheriff until the Commissioners’ authorize the request. There is legislation proposed to provide the ori ginating county with 50% of its water registration fees. Oakland County has 90,000 boats or 10% of the state total. A consideration of law enforcement contracts is the staffing level available on a shift to provide backup. Board of Commissioners The Board of Commissioners budget task was met with line item reductions and changing one full -time eligible position to a part-time non -eligible. A majority of the Law Library function has been moved to Cooley Law School which has resulted in a large savings. Over the next six months, the Administration will be reviewing additional ways to achieve savings. Ms. Mancini reported that the Library Board has consolidated the remaining Law Library functions with those of the Research Library and the Library for Blind and Visually Handicapped to one location on the second floor of the west wing. Additional savings were in internal services and include a reduction from 40 to 15 phone lines and 6 to 3 copie rs and the retirement of 25 computers/printers. Commissioner Greimel asked to be provided with the number of phone lines and cell phones in use by the Commissioners’ Administration. OTHER BUSINESS / ADJOURNMENT There being no other business to come before the committee, the meeting was adjourned at 12:12 p.m. FINANCE COMMITTEE Page 10 August 12, 2010 ________________________ _______________________________ Helen A.
