ITEM SUMMARY SHEET
COMMITTEE REPORT TO BOARD
Resolution #2026-6881 _ 26-38
Motion to adopt the attached suggested resolution.
ITEM CATEGORY SPONSORED BY
Resolution Penny Luebs
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The Oakland County Sheriff is required to provide security for the Court when requested by the
District Courts of the Third Class. If requested, the District Courts of the Third Class are required to
pay for the Court security provided.
The following District Courts of the Third Class have requested court security:
• 43rd District Court – Ferndale Division
• 43rd District Court – Madison Heights Division
• 46th District Court – Southfield
• 47th District Court – Farmington Hills
• 48th District Court – Bloomfield Hills
The current Court Deputy Services Agreements expire on September 30, 2026. The County
Executive and the Sheriff developed district court security rates for the period commencing October
1, 2026 through September 30, 2029.
POLICY ANALYSIS
• The individual Court Deputy Services agreement rates are tentatively scheduled to come to
the Board of Commissioners (BOC) for approval in September of 2026. Per resolution #2024-
3965, the BOC shall approve or reject the proposed rates before they are incorporated into
contracts between the county and participating agencies.
• Hourly rates for the PTNE Court/Park Deputy Positions are the same across all five (5) courts
(2026/2027; $29.97, 2027/2028; $30.87, 2028/2029; $31.80). However, the number of
positions, and the number of hours each position works is specific to each court. Additionally,
the District Court Sergeant (Supervisor) position's monthly and annual charges are based on
the number of PTNE positions. In turn, the total annual cost for each court varies.
• The previous Court Deputy Service Agreements were for the period of FY 2024 - 2026.
