Subject: Personnel Staffing for Addison -Oaks
Dear Ken:
JAMES E. PEMBERTON
Deputy and Chief Engineer
HOWARD V. RUMMELL
Accounting Supervisor
Today I received a call from your office concerning the hiring of
personnel to staff tine Addison -Oaks facility. I was asked to verbally
agree with your decision to hose a married couple for two required
positions at a base salary of $8,000.00 each. I feel I cannot agree
to this proposition for the following reasons.
1. Recent Board of Supervisors action placed the Parks
and Recreation Commission employees under the County
Merit System.
2. This being true, new and old positions, should vacancies
occur, must be filled by competitive examination either
oral or written or combination of both. These positions
must be advertised and a selection made from -the top
five candidates. I fail to see the reason for not
complying with such rules and regulations. Certainly
there should be no dearth of prospects. The positions
which include housing accommodations would seem to be
capable of attracting many worthy candidates.
3. I think the Commission should possess some information
concerning the salary range and the justification for
such salaries. I for one have no idea what is involved
andwouldappreciate any relative information
OAKLAND COUNTY DRAIN COMMISSIONER
Mr. Kenneth L. VaiVatta -2- March 13, 1969
Accordingly, I request the Parks and Recreation Commission to delay
any action in this matter until adequate information is available
concerning salary range and personnel qualifications, as well as
compliance with the Merit System rules and regulations. A request
is being made for an opinion from the Corporation Counsel under
separate letter.
Sincerely,
Daniel W. ,

Dear Mr. Edwards;
CLERK OF BOARD
N. ELAINE MILLEUR
This is to notify you that effective February 1, 1969 1 will resign
from the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission. I find that the
requirezants and pressure of other duties makes it impossible for me to
continue as a. member of this commission.
I have been a member of this Commission since its organization. In
the short period of time that the Oakland County Parks and Recreation
Commission has been organized, it has tome far beyond any expectations
I had. The amount of land the Commission has been able to obtain, the
reasonable prices that it paid and the acceptance of the Federal Govern-
ment in matching 50% on every piece the Commission has purchased, seems
to me to be extra ordinary and it would seem its director and members are
working vory diligently in the interest of the taxpayer of Oakland County.
I am hopeful that now menbers appointed to the Oakland County' Parks
and Reeveation Commission in the future, is done with people who have
vision for the future needs of Parks and Recreation area for the people.
The people I have worked with on thisWommission have been dedicated to
that principal.
The Pails and Recreation Commission is County oriented. It is a
member of the Oakland County family and works very closely with the
County agencies and follows County practices in all of its administrative
aspects.
It is with deep regrets that I find it necessary to severe by
relations with this Commission.
Sincerely,
Daniel T. Murphy
