INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The Oakland County Board of Commissioners and Finance Committee have received the County
Executive's FY2025-2027 Budget Recommendation, which includes a 2.4% general salary increase
for all non-represented employees as well as requests to create and delete positions. The attached
report provides the Legislative Affairs & Government Operations Committee with a list of the
classifications that will be created or deleted resulting from recommended position requests. Also
included is a history of the salary increases provided to all elected officials, non-represented and
represented employees. The full FY2025 Budget and associated financial implications, including the
budget amendment, will be presented to the Finance Committee.
POLICY ANALYSIS
Pursuant to Merit Rule 2, all county salaries shall be set by the Board of Commissioners on the
recommendation of the Human Resources Committee. Every year during the budget cycle, the
Human Resources Committee submits the County Executive's budget recommendations for salaries
of non-represented employees for the upcoming Fiscal Year to the Legislative Affairs and
Government Operations Committee for consideration and recommendation to the Finance
Committee. The County Executive's budget recommendation for salaries excludes County
Commissioners, Judges of the Circuit, District and Probate Courts; Elected Officials and Oakland
County Road Commission members. Included with the County Executive's Salary
Recommendations are classification changes, which are detailed in this resolution, that will be
implemented upon the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2025-2027 General Appropriations Act.
For Fiscal Year 2025, the County Executive is proposing a 2.4% general salary increase for all non-
represented employees, including appointed officials, part-time and hourly classes, students and
summer/seasonal workers, to be effective September 21, 2024. This proposal is already
incorporated into the County Executive's Recommended Fiscal Year 2025 Budget for approval by
the Board of Commissioners at the September 19, 2024, meeting.
BUDGET AMENDMENT REQUIRED: No
