Mr. Bertolini stated that upon the retirement of Ed Poisson, he has been working diligently to make sure that the IT department has the right team in place to service the departments and divisions of county government, local communities, public safety agencies throughout nine different counties, as well as anyone using the county’s e-commerce technologies. He believes that Mr. Timm po ssesses the credentials and experience to manage the department’s projects, initiatives and budget . Mr. Timm stated that he is a 25-year resident of Oakland County and has worked in the IT field with EDS/Hewlett Packard and other smaller companies. He identified that his passion is not only for IT, but for the customers that are served. Mr. Timm expressed his excitement for the opportunity to work with Mr. Bertolini and others in what he described as a well -oiled machine.

Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote. 2. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES/CHILDREN’S VILLAGE - RESOLUTION TO APPROVE UPGRADE OF THE KRONOS/TELESTAFF TIMEKEEPING AND SCHEDULING SOFTWARE The Department of Health and Human Services/Children’s Village is seeking approval to upgrade their timekeeping and scheduling software. The current Kronos/Telestaff soft ware systems being used are outdated and are no longer supported. The upgraded cloud system will create greater cost efficiencies, as well as benefits for payroll and scheduling leave requests for the staff at C hildren’s Village. One of the greatest cost efficiencies is that they will join the cloud with Facilities Management and the Sheriff’s Office. It’s a one-time cost for the upgrade in the amount of $57,692 , with funding available in the Department of Health and Human Services administrative budget. It is a goal to get everyone on the same cloud-related platform in order to lower costs long term. Fleming moved to recommend approval of the attached suggested resolution . Supported by Gershenson. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote. Taub moved to directly refer the resolution to the Finance Committee. Supported by Hoffman . Motion to refer carried unanimously on a roll call vote.

BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - LIBRARY BOARD APPOINTMENT Lillian Steuben was interviewed for appointment to the Libr ary Board to fill the vacancy due to the passing of a long-time member. Woodward moved to appoint Lillian Steuben to the Library Board to serve the remainder of a five - year term beginning August 25, 2012 through August 24, 2017 . Supported by Gershenson . Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote. 4. BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - SUPPORT HB 4651 AND SB 400 - AMEND PUBLIC ACT 32 OF 1986, EMERGENCY TELEPHONE SERVICE ENABLING ACT The resolution offers support of HB 4651 and SB 400 , which would amend Public Act 32 of 1986, “Emergency Telephone Service Enabling Act”. The amendment to the funding system would include all communication devices to contribute equally in order to create a stable funding source for 9-1-1 operational services. That state 9 -1-1 surcharge will be increased from 19 cents to 25 cents, and the Average Revenue Per Unit (ARPU) will also increase for users of prepaid cards, which is remitted through retailers, rather than service providers. Raising the ARPU amount is estimated to bring in about $9 million per year, and increasing the 9-1-1 surcharge, in addition to an enhancement of the enforcement provisions, should provide roughly $18 million per year. In addition, the resolution opposes amending the Bills to include any additional State of Mich igan taxes on telephone service customers under the guise of 9 -1-1 surcharges. Discussion was held. Kowall moved to recommend approval of the attached suggested resolution . Supported by Fleming. Taub moved to amend the last paragraph as follows: “BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward copies of this adopted resolution to the Governor Richard Snyder, and all Senators and Representatives serving Oakland County of the State of Michigan, the Oakland County members of the Michigan congressional delegation, the members of the State House Communications and Technology Committee and the members of the State Senate Energy and Technology Committee .” Supported by Kochenderfer.
