RESOLUTION APPROVING A SUPERSEDING CONTRACT BETWEEN THE COUNTY AND THE 2013 SUPERSEDING OAKLAND COUNTY RETIREE MEDICAL BENEFITS TRUST This Finance Committee resolution requests approval of a superseding contract to the 2013 superseding trust agreement. This amendment allows the County to prepay funds to the trust. Not only will the VEBA be funded, but also any future costs. A savings of approximately $13 million a year will result from this program starting April 1 when the debt is called in, Certificates of Participation (COPS).
