AGENDA ITEMS
1. MR #18058 – PARKS AND RECREATION – ADDISON OAKS AND GROVELAND OAKS
POSITION DELETIONS, CREATIONS AND RECLASSIFICATIONS
Addison Oaks County Park consists of 1,100 acres of County park land with a campground that is open
24 hours a day. There is also a day-use park that is open year-round. Groveland Oaks consists of
approximately 800 acres and is open from April through October, 24 hours a day. There is also a day-
use park there. Due to the issue of being open 24 hours a day, the need for oversight and supervision
of staff, the Parks and Recreation Commission is seeking approval of position changes. The resolution
approves the deletion of two proprietary funded, full-time eligible Parks Crew Chief positions and the
creation of one Grounds Maintenance Supervisor and one Assistant Parks Supervisor classification.
In addition, two General Maintenance Mechanic classifications will be reclassified to Parks Crew Chiefs.
Weipert moved to report to recommend approval of the attached suggested resolution.
Supported by Kochenderfer.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote.
2. MR #18056 – ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS – DELETE AND
CREATE POSITION
The Department of Economic Development and Community Affairs is seeking approval to delete a part-
time Marketing Coordinator classification and create a full-time Marketing Coordinator position. There
is no additional cost to the County because part of the cost will be offset by the deletion of the part-time
position, and the remainder will be funded by a reallocation of funds from an exist ing Workforce
Development grant. Commissioner Zack indicated her concern about transportation, especially for
lower-income people. She said that some students may not be able to get to places for apprenticeship
opportunities without a good transportation system in Oakland County, and she has heard from
employers in “opt-out” communities who cannot staff their existing jobs because of transportation.
Middleton moved to report to recommend approval of the attached suggested resolution.
Supported by Weipert.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote.

4. MR #18060 – SHERIFF’S OFFICE – CREATION OF TECHNICAL ASSISTANT POSITION FOR
HIPAA COMPLIANCE
The Sheriff’s Office is seeking approval to create one General Fund/General Purpose funded, full-time
eligible Technical Assistant position with the Sheriff’s Office Emergency Response & Preparedness
Division Administration Unit to assist in the development of new processes to comply with Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and other statutes relating to the protection of
protected health information (PHI) and personally identifiable information (PII). Oakland County
Information Technology conducted a risk assessment of its technology to determine compliance with
the HIPAA Security Rule Requirements. The controls, procedures and processes that support
technology and used within departments to handle PHI and PII were reviewed and assessed. It was
determined that a full-time employee was needed to monitor, audit, maintain and verify individual
access requirements based on work location and to update as necessary.
Weipert moved to report to recommend approval of the attached suggested resolution.
Supported by Zack.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote.
5. MR #18059 – FACILITIES MANAGEMENT/FACILITIES PLANNING & ENGINEERING/
SHERIFF’S OFFICE – ADDITIONAL PRIORITY 2 BUILDING SECURITY ENHANCEMENT AND
PRIORITY 3 BUILDING SECURITY ENHANCEMENT PROJECTS
Facilities Management is continuing the security enhancement initiatives that began about two years
ago. The resolution approves the Additional Priority 2 Building Security Enhancements Project in the
amount of $2,100,822 and Priority 3 Building Security Enhancements Project of $5,436,428 for a total
authorized amount of $7,537,250. Priority 3 enhancements include adding berms for the Novi District
Court, Circuit Court station at the North Office Building and numerous areas that are small in scope
and in dollars. The staffing needs assessment for this project determined that a total of 5,200 hours is
needed to provide the recommended level of security services at this location. Therefore, Facilities
Management is seeking approval to create one General Fund/General Purpose (GF/GP) full-time, non-
eligible 2,000 hours/yr. Court/Park Deputy position and one GF/GP part-time, non-eligible 1,200 hours
per year Court/Park Deputy position in the Sheriff’s Corrective Services-Satellite Division of the
Courthouse Security Unit.
Weipert moved to report to recommend approval of the attached suggested resolution.
Supported by Middleton.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote.
