Public Services - Children's Village - Resolution Supporting Available Additional Wage
Increase for Qualified Position Classifications from the Michigan Department of Health and
Human Services
Chairperson and Members of the Board:
WHEREAS Michigan's FY 2021-22 General Omnibus Budget, Public Act 87 of 2021, includes section
231 (8) which provides, for direct care workers (DCW) of licensed Child Care Institutions (CCI), an
increase of $2.00 per hour wage for every hour worked during FY22; and
WHEREAS Oakland County Children’s Village maintains a total of three CCI licenses, one each for
detention, residential and shelter care, qualifying this increase; and
WHEREAS a DCW, as defined in Licensing Rule 400.4101, is a person who provides direct care and
supervision of children in an institution; and
WHEREAS the following position classifications meet this requirement; Youth Specialist I, Youth
Specialist II, Youth Specialist Supervisor and Children’s Village Program Supervisor; and
WHEREAS the reimbursement program allows for a maximum of $2.00 per hour worked, it does not
provide additional reimbursement for overtime or shift differentials; and
WHEREAS only hours worked will be reimbursed, which does not include vacation, sick or time off
from any other leave banks or for any other reasons; and
WHEREAS this is a reimbursement program requiring payment to employees prior to applying to the
State for reimbursement; and
WHEREAS the county will be reimbursed for the $2.00 per hour worked and for the employer's share
of FICA; and
WHEREAS the estimated number of eligible DCW hours for FY22 has been calculated to be 243,100;
and
WHEREAS this equates to a total estimated reimbursement request from the State of $523,394
($486,200 wage increase and $37,194 payroll tax expense); and
WHEREAS the Children’s Village FY22 budget has favorable variance in the salaries line item to
cover the up-front costs as well as associated variable fringe benefit costs.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports
the Department of Public Services - Children's Village to seek an available additional wage increase,
as defined in the Michigan's FY 2021-2022 General Omnibus Budget, for qualified position
classifications for hours worked during Fiscal Year of 2022.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the Department of Management and Budget - Fiscal Services will
apply for reimbursement to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services for the wage
increases and expenses associated with payroll taxes.
