SHERIFF’S OFFICE – BUDGETARY AND PERSONNEL ACTIONS TO STRUCTURALLY ADJUST SALARIES BUDGET In response to the weakened economy Oakland County implemented departmental budget tasks and a reduction in salaries to maintain a budget balance. The Sheriff was unable to reach agreements with the Oakland County Command Officers Association and the Oakland County Deputy Sheriff’s Association and an Act 312 Arbitration was held to determine wages, among other items for both groups. The Act 312 Arbitrator recently reached a decision related to salaries for both organiz ations for fiscal years 2010, 2011 and 2012. The Sheriff’s Office is proposing structural changes to reduce salaries and to delete one GF/GP Sergeant position and six Deputy ll positions, plus one marked patrol unit will be deleted from the County Fleet. These positions are vacant at this time; no employees will be laid off. Taub moved approval of the attached suggested resolution.
