IN RE: Drain and Department of Public Works - REORGANIZATION, NEW CIVIL ENGINEER III POSITION IN
DRAIN AND REMOVAL OF FREEZE ON CHIEF ENGINEER - SEWER AND WATER
To the Oa%laod County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XI-G of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed Miscellaneous
Resolution #89l22 and finds:
1) The resolution reorganizes several units within the Drain Commissioner's office and
removes a freeze on a Chief Engineer position in the Department of Public Works;
2) By its action on May 11, 1989, Personnel Committee removed the freeze on tee DPW Chief
Engineer position by rescinding its action of June 23, 1988, as referenced in the Personnel
Committee report;
3) Funds are included in the 1989 Budget for the DPW Chief Engineer position, therefore,
the action by Personnel Committee to unfreeze this position does not require additional
appropriation of funds;
4) Dividing the existing staff within the Drain Commissioner's Engineering unit into two
new units and retitling the Water and Sewer Construction unit in DPW has no budgetary impact,
therefore, the resolution should be amended by adding the following language at the beginning of
item #2 in the NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED paragraph: "For personnel organizational chart
purposes,...";
5) Impacting the Budget, the resolution adds one Civil Engineer III, upgrades an Assistant
Chief Engineer-Drain to Chief Engineer-Drain, and downvades the salary of the Supervisor of
Construction Inspection Services upon retirement of the incumbent;
6) The additional costs for these personnel changes are estimated to be $51,406 annually,
partially funded by reimbursement from projects in the amount of $38,873 and the remaining $12,533
funded by the General Fund;
7) For the remainder of 1989 with a planned implementation date of June 1, the estimated
additional costs are $22,239 partially funded by $15,969 in reimbursement from projects and $6,270
funded by the General Fund;

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Southeastern Oakland County Incinerator Authority (SOCIA) owns a landfill site
on 26 acres located in Rochester Hills; and
WHEREAS the Solid Waste Management Act contains at least three provisions before a
landfill may be operated to wit:
1. The site must be included in the County's Solid Waste Management Plan
2. The site must be constructed pursuant to a valid permit issued by the Department of
Natural Resources (DNR)
3. The site must be licensed to operate a solid waste landfill; and
WHEREAS SOCIA has applied on three different occasions to DNR for a permit to construct a
landfill on this 26 acre site; and
WHEREAS said site is directly adjacent to a mobile home park; and
WHEREAS all applications to the DNR for a permit to construct a landfill have been denied;
the most recent by the DNR for the reason that SOCIA did not demonstrate in their permit application
an ability to control odors; and
