IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET - FISCAL YEAR 2001 THIRD QUARTER
FINANCIAL FORECAST AND BUDGET AMENDMENTS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in accordance with Oakland County General Appropriations Act,
Section 22, which authorizes budget amendments for variances between the
budgeted revenue and actual revenue, and Section 23, which authorizes budget
amendments for variances between estimated revenue and projected expenditures,
adjustments are required; and
WHEREAS the Fiscal Year 2001 Third Quarter Financial Forecast has
identified several variances and budget amendments are recommended; and
WHEREAS the Circuit Court has favorability in Defense Attorney Fees due
to an unusual static caseload, this favorability is available to be used to
offset unfavorable variances in the Circuit Court's Non-Controllable
Operations; and
WHEREAS the 52nd District Court Divisions are experiencing favorability
in a number of revenue accounts due to increased activity, it is recommended
this favorability be used to offset unfavorable variances in the Controllable
and Non-Controllable Operations within the Court; and
WHEREAS Probate Court has additional Building Space Allocation funds due
to a recalculation of space, these additional funds can be used to offset the
Visiting Judges account which has increased due to judicial absences; and
WHEREAS Probate Court is also experiencing an increase in Gross Estate
Fees and Refund Fees from Defense Attorneys due to an increase in filings; and
WHEREAS it is recommended this favorability be used to offset an overage
in Salaries due to court reorganization; and
WHEREAS the Clerk/Register of Deeds is receiving additional Forfeiture
of Bonds due to a streamlining of the bond collection process, it is
recommended that these funds be used to cover an unfavorable variance in Non-
Controllable Operations; and
WHEREAS the Drain Commissioner is requesting to increase the General
Fund/General Purpose revenues and expenditures by $159,000 due to the high
level of construction activity; and
WHEREAS a correction in the Human Services Administrative personnel
budget allocation is recommended; and
WHEREAS Health Division is projected to be favorable in Controllable
Personnel due to turnover, these funds can be used to offset increased Medical
Examiner's Controllable Operating expenses resulting from additional workload
related to autopsies and an adjustment in the contracted rate for body
transports; and
WHEREAS Public Services Administration is projected to be unfavorable
due to an unexpected conference and a higher than anticipated number of
service mementos distributed; and
WHEREAS Community Corrections is also projected to be unfavorable due to
a rapid expansion of various program operations and increased activity; and
WHEREAS the expense for Professional Services within MSU/Co-Op Extension
is lower than anticipated due to the success of the Gypsy Moth Suppression
Program, these funds be used to offset the variances in Public Services
Administration and Community Corrections; and
WHEREAS the Information Technology Operations appropriations for
Facilities Management Administration and Community and Economic Development
Administration require a redistribution to reflect actual charges; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. September 6, 2001

budgeted and charged to the Fringe Benefit Fund in order to invoice this
expense to third parties; and

problems:
Personnel - Human Resources - Funding to cover an extended contract with
Cedar Enterprises to provide additional consultant support during
implementation of the PeopleSoft system upgrade;
Sheriff Department - Funding to cover Radio Communications expense.
Variance is a result of a change in policy whereas Public Safety
entities are charged for radios during Fiscal Year 2001; the original
budget included no such charge;
County Executive - Administration, Auditing and Corporation Counsel are
projected to be unfavorable within the Non-Controllable Operations of
each division due to underbudgeted allocations, primarily for

Oakland County (expires 12/31/01);
Non-Departmental Contingency Account - Funding to support this account

Insurance Fund balance be used to cover this omission; and
WHEREAS the following amendments are recommended for Information
Technology Internal Service funds:
MAN/WAN (OakNet) - The entire Operating Transfer for the MAN/WAN project
will not be required in Fiscal Year 2001, resulting in a favorable
budget variance in the fund;
DISC - An additional Operating Transfer is required to cover expense
related to transfer and reassignment of positions to meet the division's
needs (per Miscellaneous Resolution #98309);
Child Support Enforcement System (CSES) - Funds drawn from PA 189 monies

the State's rejection of the County's implementation plan. Therefore
these funds should be returned to the PA 189 account;
IT/System Development and Support - A portion of the Professional
Services allocation under System Development and Support is recommended
to reallocated to DISC to support approved projects; further the GIS

fund equity per Miscellaneous Resolution #00314, for Fiscal Year 2001

IN RE: MANDATORY CULTURAL DIVERSITY TRAINING FOR MANAGEMENT STAFF
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in today’s workplace, cross-cultural teamwork and collaboration
are essential for organizational success; and
WHEREAS cultural differences need to be seen as assets in order for the
organization to function productively; and
WHEREAS management establishes the environment for productivity and
organizational success; and
WHEREAS the Cultural Diversity course provided through Personnel
Training and Development stems from the belief that while individuals come
from diverse backgrounds and are inherently capable of working together with
mutual respect and harmony, the lack of familiarity, bias, and stereotyping
can prevent them from interacting successfully with those different from
themselves; and
WHEREAS the Cultural Diversity course helps participants explore and
challenge cultural assumptions that may be keeping them from performing; and
WHEREAS the Cultural Diversity course provides information, strategies,
and skills through activities such as group discussion, video, and role play
that will help participants develop personal and professional competence to
work and live in a multi-cultural society; and
WHEREAS the Personnel Department recommends approval of this resolution.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Cultural Diversity course be
mandated for all managers, chiefs, and supervisors within Oakland County.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - ADVOCATION OF CRITICAL BRIDGE FUNDING
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS local bridges are critical to the county transportation system
by directly impacting the public safety, and the expansion and promotion of
Oakland County's economic development, agriculture, tourism and accessibility;
and
WHEREAS there are 5,573 bridges on the county road system statewide and
more than 1,394 of these bridges are either closed or posted for reduced
weight loads or with restricted traffic lanes for travel. In comparison, the
Michigan Department of Transportation has only 13 bridges on state highways
closed or posted for reduced weight loads or with restricted traffic lanes for
travel; and
WHEREAS the backlog of local bridges eligible for funding through the
Critical Bridge Program is increasing; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Department of Transportation has historically
provided only 15 percent of the federal bridge funds to the Critical Bridge
Program even though federal bridge funds are calculated based on a needs
formula and 25 percent of the federal bridge funds that come to Michigan are
based on local bridge needs; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Legislature has unanimously adopted by amendment
$24 million in obligated federal bridge funds earmarked to the Critical Bridge
Program in the 2001/2002 transportation budget; and
WHEREAS the Governor has vetoed the language earmarking the $24 million
in obligated federal bridge funds to the Critical Bridge Program.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners recognizes the far-reaching impact of viable local bridges in
the state and urges our state legislators to continue their support by
restoring the boilerplate language that earmarks the $24 million in obligated
federal bridge funds to the Critical Bridge Program when the issue comes
before them this fall.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to our
State Legislators and to our U.S. Congressional delegation and U.S. Senators.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing Resolution.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – TRANSPORTATION ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Michigan Transportation Economic Development Fund was
created in 1987 to support state and local transportation projects to enhance
economic development and alleviate traffic congestion. The legislature
recognized these needs by establishing a state-wide grant program known as
Category A, an urban congestion program to address the needs of the five
largest counties of Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Kent, and Genesee known as
Category C, and a rural economic development program for the remaining 78
counties to identify and build an all-season road network that would benefit
small businesses, agriculture, and tourism in this state known as Category D;
and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. September 6, 2001
488
WHEREAS in a letter, dated May 1, 2000, to the legislature by the
Director of the Michigan Department of Management and Budget, Building
Michigan III projects funded by Category A grants were to be paid for with the
sale of state bonds and the debt service for those bonds paid entirely with
Category A funds; and
WHEREAS the legislature passed legislation implementing Building
Michigan III with the understanding that local transportation economic
development funds in Categories C and D would not be used; and
WHEREAS the Governor's proposed 2001/2002 transportation budget
attempted to take Category C and D funds to help pay the debt service for
bonds sold to complete Category A economic development road projects. The
legislature overwhelmingly rejected that proposal by restoring the funding to
Categories C and D and returning the debt service for Build Michigan III to
Category A. The legislature followed the budget with the introduction of
House Bill 4825 to amend the Transportation Economic Development Act of 1987
and protect county road commission funding in Categories C and D from future
efforts to divert these funds for state debt service; and
WHEREAS the Governor's transportation budget veto message to the
legislature states that he intends to ignore the budget actions taken by the
House and Senate and is directing the Michigan Department of Transportation to
take county road funding from Categories C and D to pay one half of the Build
Michigan III debt service; and
WHEREAS this action will cause the Road Commission for Oakland County to
lose $700,040 annually in economic development funds for transportation and
cause local road projects that are important to economic development and
public safety to be delayed or halted.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners urges our state legislators to continue their support of
protecting local transportation funds from these types of raids by opposing
any efforts to transfer Transportation Economic Development Funds in
Categories C and D to the State's Category A program for state debt service
and pass House Bill 4825 upon their return to session this fall.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

WHEREAS the West Nile Virus has recently been detected in Oakland
