AGENDA ITEMS
1. MR #18145 – CENTRAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT/AVIATION AND TRANSPORTATION
DIVISION – POSITION DELETION AND POSITION CREATION
The Aviation Division is seeking approval to delete one 520-hours, part-time, Summer Seasonal
Laborer position and to create one full-time Maintenance Laborer position in the Aviation and
Transportation Division/Aviation and Transportation Administration Unit. The creation for the full-time
position will be covered by a reduction to the overtime budget and available resources in the Airport
Fund.
Weipert moved to report to recommend approval of the attached suggested resolution.
Supported by Zack.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote with Kochenderfer absent.
2. HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT – RESOLUTION EXEMPTING OAKLAND COUNTY
GOVERNMENT FROM PA 152 OF 2011 FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2019
The Human Resources Department and the County Executive are requesting that the County opt out
of Public Act 152 for calendar year 2019. The State sets a cap on the amount that municipalities can
pay for medical coverage for their employees. The cap is raised with inflation every year. Every year
the County Executive, as part of the triennial budget process, analyzes and budgets for employee
benefit costs. The County has spent approximately 1.4% more than the cap levels for 2018. For 2018,
the State of Michigan set the cap level at $44,679,772, including the cost of taxes. This cap level is
determined by the number of employees currently enrolled in the County’s medical plans. The County
incurred $44,825,839, plus $475,401 in State and Federal taxes from April 2017 through March 2018
for employees medical and prescription coverage.
Middleton moved approval of the attached suggested resolution. Supported by Zack.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote with Kochenderfer absent.
3. HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT – INCREASE TO MEDICAL DIRECTOR SALARY
The Human Resources Department is seeking approval to increase the flat salary rate paid to the
Medical Director classification from $173,342 to $203,826. This requested increase is due to potential
recruitment issues and market value of this classification. In 2010, the last time this job was posted for
potential candidates, there were ten (10) applications, in which only three (3) met the qualifications for
the job. The current Medical Director has submitted her resignation. The proposed rate is the same
as the Chief Deputy Medical Forensics Pathologist position, which is similar in minimum qualifications
and requirements.
Weipert moved approval of the attached suggested resolution. Supported by Zack.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote with Kochenderfer absent.
