AGENDA ITEMS
1. 52/1 DISTRICT COURT (NOVI) – DELETE TWO PTNE COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFICER
POSITIONS AND CREATE ONE FTE COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFICER POSITION
The 52nd District Court in Novi currently has two part-time positions that supervise the community
service program that they have through their court, which offers an alternative to jail. The resolution
approves the deletion of two part-time positions and the creation of one full-time Community Services
Officer. The resolution additionally approves the adjustment of the Alternative Services Program fee
charged to participants from $15/day to $25/day, which is anticipated to offset the costs for the new
position.
Weipert moved to report to recommend approval of the attached suggested resolution.
Supported by Kochenderfer.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote.
2. CENTRAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT/AVIATION AND TRANSPORTATION DIVISION –
POSITION CREATION
Central Services/Aviation is requesting approval of the creation of one position at the
Oakland/Southwest Airport. For the past six (6) years they have been using a management company,
and the contract expires on December 31, 2018. After reviewing its operations, the Central Services
Department Aviation and Transportation Division has determined that it would be cost effective and
advantageous to add a full-time eligible (FTE) Maintenance Laborer to improve the level of facilities
oversight, efficiency and quality of service at the Oakland/Southwest Airport. The creation of the
position will be partially offset by the expiration of the contract, and the remaining cost will be covered
by the Airport Fund.
Middleton moved to report to recommend approval of the attached suggested resolution.
Supported by Weipert.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote.

3. COUNTY EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT – CREATE NEW POSITION TO SUPPORT GREAT
LAKES WATER AUTHORITY ACTIVITIES
The resolution approves the creation of one (1) General Fund/General Purpose (GF/GP) full-time
eligible Accountant IV position, Salary Grade 14, to provide professional and technical level support to

Oakland County Executive Department, Administration Division.
Middleton moved to report to recommend approval of the attached suggested resolution.
Supported by Kochenderfer.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote.
4. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES/HEALTH DIVISION – MICHIGAN
FITNESS FOUNDATION SNAP-ED GRANT ACCEPTANCE
The resolution accepts a grant in the amount of $25,000 from the Michigan Fitness Foundation (MFF)
for the period of October 1, 2018 through September 30, 201 9. This grant award reflects a decrease
in funding of $25,000 from FY 2018, because it is focused on exclusively the City of Pontiac, and only
one staff member is needed to work on this grant project. The resolution approves the deletion of one
part-time, non-eligible Public Health Educator I position and the continuation of one part-time, non-
eligible Public Health Educator II position.
Weipert moved to report to recommend approval of the attached suggested resolution.
Supported by Kochenderfer.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote.

Supported by Kochenderfer.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote.
8. HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT – AGREEMENT WITH CENTRAL MICHIGAN
UNIVERSITY FOR TUITION DISCOUNT
Central Michigan University has requested to partner with the County of Oakland by offering certain

9. HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT – EXCEPTION TO MERIT RULE 2.2 EXTENSION
The Human Resources Department is requesting authorization to extend the exception to Merit Rule

with the Management Advisory Group to conduct a classification and compensation study on all non-
represented classifications with Oakland County. At this time last year, the Human Resources
Department was reviewing the Job Evaluation Questionnaires. In January of this year the Human
Resources Department requested approval of an extension provision of Merit Rule 2.2, to suspend
salary grade review requests during this process. The Human Resources Department is still gathering
and reviewing information received from the Job Evaluation Questionnaires and is now requesting an
extension of that suspension until December 31, 2019. The results are anticipated to be available by
the end of the 2nd quarter of 2019, at which time the Human Resources Department will bring the results
to the Board for approval.
Kochenderfer moved approval of the attached suggested resolution. Supported by Middleton.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote.

Section 41 of the Defined Benefit Plan; and Article II, Section 2.5 of the Deferred Compensation Plan
to remove the definition of the Retirement Board composition from the plan documents. Any future
