MR #11246 BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – RESOLUTION EXEMPTING OAKLAND COUNTY GOVERNMENT FROM THE PROVISIONS OF 2011 P.A. 152 FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2012 On September 27, 2011, 2011 P.A. 152, an act to limit a public employer’s expenditures for employee medical benefit plans, became immediately effective. The Oakland County Triennial Budget for Fiscal Years 2012 -2014 is balanced, maintains responsible recommended general fund equity balances, and funds current employee medical benefit plans within existing revenues. Significant time and expenses have been incurred relating to the execution of the 2012 annual health care selection process for employees. Vigorous challenges to the legalit y of Act 152 is expected and the costs associated with litigation are expected to be substantial. Section 8 of the Act authorizes local units of government to exempt itself from the requirements of the act for the next succeeding calendar y ear by a 2/3 vote of the govern ing body. Oakland County employees have demonstrated and continue to fairly share in the burden of meeting the significant economic challenges associated with the long recession, therefore, it is requested Oakland County exempt itself from the requirements of 2011 P.A. 152 for calendar year 2012.
