AGENDA ITEMS
1. MR #15026 – SHERIFF’S OFFICE CREATION OF POSITIONS OF BUILDING SECURITY –
PHASE 1
The Sheriff’s Office is seeking approval to create 10 building security positions and delete one. The 52-1
District Court in Novi is in need of one General Fund/General Purpose (GF/GP) Full Time Eligible (FTE)
Corrections Deputy I position . The court is understaffed compared to other courts within Oakland County
in regard to the number of people entering/exiting the building, the number of prisoners that are handled,
and the case load handled. The South Oakland Office Building in Troy is in need of 2 GF/GP Part Time
Non-Eligible (PTNE) 1,000 hours Court Deputy II positions a s there are no deputies positioned there for
building security at this time. The Emergency Response & Preparedness Division/Training Unit is in need
of 3 GF/GP PTNE 1,000 hours Court Deputy II positions to help with training that is required to meet
State standards. The Corrective Services Satellites Division/Courthouse Security Unit is in need of 3
GF/GP PTNE 1,000 hours Court Deputy II positions at the east and northeast Courthouse employee
doors to ensure the entire building is secure. People from the public have tried to come in behind an
employee using their key cards, as well as members of the public requesting to be let in and making an
employee feel threatened if they don’t. The Corrective Services Satellites Division/Courthouse Security
Unit is also in need of one GF/GP PTNE 1,000 hours Court Deputy II at the Friend of the Court location
on Elizabeth Lake Road for the WWAM Program to secure the building after hours since that is when the
majority of the program runs. One Special Revenue (SR) PTN E 1,000 hours position will be deleted as a
result of the Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program no longer being funded.
Weipert moved to report to recommend approval of the attached suggested Resolution .
Supported by Hoffman.
Motion carried unan imously on a roll call vote.
2. MR #15027 – SHERIFF’S OFFICE – ESTABLISHMENT OF DISPATCH SERVICES CONTRACT
RATES – APRIL 1, 2015 THROUGH MARCH 31, 2018
The Sheriff’s Office is seeking approval of the Police and Fire dispatch services contract rates, as w ell as
to create 5 GF/GP FTE Dispatch Specialist positions. There are 17 fire departments and 6 police
departments that are currently contracted for dispatch services. This dispatch center is the second
largest in the State, and is the only dispatch cent er to provide emergency medical services, in addition to
police and fire. With the increase of fire calls and the numb er of patrol contacts added throughout
2013/2014, enough revenue has been generated to fund these positions. If contractual agreements with
municipalities and revenue were to cease, these positions would be eliminated.
Fleming moved to report to recommend approval of the attached suggested Resolution.
Supported by Middleton.

3. MR #15024 – BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS/LIBRARY BOARD – DELETION OF LIBRARY
TECHNICIAN II POSITION
The Library Board is seeking approval to delete one Library Technician II position. In October of 2014,

eliminated. The need for staff has gone down due to the migration of the library to an electronic format.
The deletion of this position will save $71,000 in the Board of Commissioners / Library Board’s budget.
Zack moved to report to recommend approval of the attached suggested Resolution. Supported
by Weipert.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote.
