Page, Chairman, moves the acceptance of the foregoing report. GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE Robert W. Page, Chairman OAKLAND COUNTY EXECUTIVE REORGANIZATION PROPOSAL DANIEL T. MURPHY MARCH 3, 1977 Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen. Today I would like to present our proposal for the reorganization of the Executive Branch of County government. As many of you will recall, the existing, organizational structure, adopted by the Board of Commissioners in December of 1974, created 10 new positions under the County Executive. The concept underlying this structure was the unification of County government. Clear lines of responsibility were drawn by the Board of Commissioners, running up through the division level to the department level, to the County Executive and his immediate staff. An attempt was made to clearly fix responsibility for government actions at each major level: Division, Department, and County Executive Administration, To further clarify areas of responsibility, as well as to improve communications and interactions, the Board of Commissioners reorganized its committee structure so that it responded directly to the six major departments. With adoption of this organization chart, the Board of Commissioners took an important step toward making government more visible and responsive to the citizens it serves. At the same time, the Board recognized the need to streamline government. The Board wanted to avoid the sprawling, costly, difficult to manage bureaucracy which undermines so many other large government structures. To use just one example, this streamlining resulted in all major financial components being grouped together under one department, the department of ManageMent and Budget. With this one action, the Board eliminated much overlapping duplication of functions and personnel. It forced all of our financial systems to work together in a logical, coordinated manner. The result was greatly improved financial accountability and efficiency which enabled us to introduce important cost-saving measures. The expected cost of this reorganization varied, but most estimates began at $200,000. The actual cost, as you know, was considerably less than half that amount - $84,000. Furthermore, this $84,000 investment began to produce dividends immediately. In just one area - overtime control - a $182,000 saving was produced before this organization chart was a year old. Additional dividends have been returned in the form of new programs, better service, and year-end surpluses, without any increase in tax rates. Oakland County government became, by any of- jective measurement, the best managed major government in Michigan. Indeed, for a time in 1975 and 1976, we were one of the few major governments in the state not facing deficit spending, tax increases, and layoff of large numbers of employees. The Board of Commissioners can indeed be proud of its action as represented by the organi- zational structure you see before you. At the same time, however, we should remember that, just as with any successful business, thc time to make changes 8nd hmprovements is when you are ahead. If we want to stay ahead of the competition; if welwant to continue to be a leader in the field of gov- ernment management, we should make necessary changes and adjustments pow. In addition to meeting that overriding goal, the reorganization proposal you are about to view will, if enacted, produce these results: It will produce an additional annual cost saving of more than $46,000 in salaries. If will further streamline certain areas of government, producing greater efficiency which ultimately will lead to greater savings. It will broader and strengthen our ability to address the new realities of Oakland County now, and in the future.

April 7, 1977 259 n The first part of the reorganization has, of course, already been undertaken with Board of Ci mmissioners approval of resolution 37763, eliminating the Department of Special Projects, and , utinn /7783 and /7797, creating the position of Executive Officer - Administration, and changing th- 'Itle of Deputy County Executive to Executive Officer - Operations'. The net effect of these and other, less significant parts of the first phase of the re- organization was a salary savings of $41,700. The highlights of the remainder of the reorganization are the consolidation of two divisions; the creation of two divisions; the abolition of one division; and the transfer of two divisions to other departments, In addition, we propose the transfer of separate accounting functions out of three divisions and placing these functions in the Accounting Division. We would also change the name of one existing department and one existing division. The following pages will show you these changes in detail, department by department. SUMMARY OF BOARD APPROVED ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES TO DATE - MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION NUMBER 7763 - DELETED DEPARTMENT OF SPECIAL PROJECTS - MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION NUMBER 7783 - CREATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICER - ADMINISTRATION POSITION - MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION NUMBER 7797 - RETITLE DEPUTY COUNTY EXECUTIVE TO EXECUTIVE OFFICER - OPERATIONS. The five divisions of the Human Services Department would remain intact except for the transfer of accounting functions and personnel from the Medical Care Facility to the Accounting Division, and elimination of the Assistant Administrator position.

April-7, 1977 In addition to being an improvement from the standpoint of eliminating a duplication of accounting functions, transfer of medical care accounting also makes it easier to incorporate the Medical Care Facility into the BASIC financial reporting system and improve third party reimburse- ment and billing procedures. With the Medical Care Director guided and assisted by the Director of Human Services, who in turn reports to the Executive Officer - Operations, it becomes more feasible to eliminate the position of Assistant Administrator. More importantly, this change is in keeping with our philosophy of reducing reporting ratios at every opportunity. Each department head is expected to be the top administrator of each division and to take on a considerable portion of the administrative responsibility for each divi- sion. Thus, each division is served by two top administrators - the department head and the division head - and the continuation of a third top administrator in the form of an assistant director is usually not necessary or desirable_ ADMINISTRATOR - OAKLAND COUNTY HOSPITAL ERvICES 7-- 1 SAL FikBoRAIolo: ; PATIENT _ 1 SERVlC_j ACT.171.1 TES : GLEE.

Two of these, Alimony Accounts and Reimbursement, are financial operations which our operating experience has shown more properly be- long in the organization structure under the Department of Management and Budget. A third, Property Management properly belongs under the Department of Public Works. On the other hand, Central Services contains a number of units which function as small divisions but are listed as "Intergovernmental Funds." These are Garage, Laundry, Mailing, Print- ing, Photocopy and Microfilm, and Radio Communications, The Director of Central Services acts as director of each of these quasi-divisions. We propose in this case that reality be recognized and that these six entities be grouped together in a new division entitled Support Services, The Insurance and Safety function, which presently is shown in the administration section of Central Services, would also be placed in the Division of Support Services. Also, the separate accounting function now in Facilities and Operations would be trans- ferred to the Accounting Division. Cl ;70 Co 0 FA CO to Cm LA Ito "5 to ,1 0, Co CO u. ri H SC ).

The change would make easier the elimination of the position of Assistant Superintendent, Water and Sewerage. Previously, it was felt that this position was needed to supervise the accounting posi- tions in this division. With those positions transferred to Accounting, that supervisory need no longer exists.

April 7, 1977 A new division, called the Advanced Program Group, would be created under the direction of the Executive Officer - Administration. The manager of this division would be the present Director of Planning and he would super- vise a staff of two Associate Planners and an Assistant Planner transferred from the Planning Division, as well as a new Typist I position. This group will function much as research and development groups do in private industry. It will examine proposals for new programs and policies with heavy emphasis on cost-benefit analysis and make recommendations to the County Executive through the Executive Officer - Administration, It will follow through on at least the early stages of planning and implementation of proposals considered to have merit. For example, if this group had been in existence during the last year, it would have been primarily responsible for the early stages of the tornado alert system, OCART, land use planning positions, jail expansion, regional cooperation positions on such matters as sewers, water, and highways, mass transit positions, County environmental protection policies such as iakes area flooding and our effort to secure passage of the Wetlands Bill in the Legislature, and a host of other matters. The group is designed to have maximum flexibility to absorb temporary assignments of per- sonnel from other areas to work on specific projects and to move into and work with divisions as they encounter special, but temporary, needs that can presently be met only by the assignment of overtime or the contracting for outside assistance. Through the increased efficiency which results from this kind of flexibility, and cost benefit analysis capability, we expect this group to produce tangible cost savings in the long run.

April 7, 1977 269 There would be no change in the Personnel Department:, •Ot COUNTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF PERSONNEL The present Department of Public Services, as shown on the left, contains 8 divisions, including the Divisions of Emergency Medical Services and Disaster Control and Civil Defense. We proposed combining those divisions into the Division of Emergency Medical Services and Disaster Control, leaving this department with 7 divisions, as shown on the right. The functions of these two divisions presently overlap, since virtually any disaster we might confront involves the heed for emergency medical services. In both the ice storm and the tornado last year, for example, the major role of the Division of Disaster Control was to coordinate the activities of the Red Cross and other charitable medical organizations; various police and fire services; and, although fortunately to a lesser extent in these two examples, the activities of ambulance companies and hospitals. Combining these two divisions eliminates the unnecessary cost and inefficiency of having separate divisions providing essentially the same service and, more importantly, minimizes the potentially very harmful confusion that might result in a disaster situation if these two divisions were allowed to continue operating independently of one another. 53 22 5 12 14 3 2 4 MAN-1'0'AR VETERANS SERV C S LIBRARY COOPERATIVEEXTENSION ANLMAL CONTROL LN ENT– ASST.

The salary of this position would be fully paid by Federal Funding after July, but would involve a $4,000 cost until then. Creation of this position has been strongly recommended by the more than 60 member Emer- gency Medical Service Advisory Council, Federal and State Officials and our own staff. Our present EMS Division is a one-person operation. An additional person is badly needed to help carry out present responsibilities and, especially, to provide the training and education necessary to upgrade emergency medical service personnel in the County. This upgrading of ambulance and other emergency medical service personnel is crucial to the success of the EMS system, CM ANNUAL SALARY ANNUAL SALARY' COST INCREASE COST REDUCTION POSITIONS TO BE CREATED BY REORGANIZATIONAL PROPOSAL TOTAL COSTS $43,072 POSITIONS TO BE DELETED BY REORGANIZATIONAL PROPOSAL - Deletion of Assistant Administrator-Oakland County Hospital . . . . . . . . . . . . . $24,715 - Deletion of Assistant Superintendent Water and Sewage 15,829 - Deletion of two positions in Planning Division - one Engineering Aide I . . . . . . . . . . . . 10,668 - one Research Assistant . . . . . . . . . . . .. ............ . . . . . . .11,637 - Deletion of: Director of Disaster Control . . . . . . . . . . . ....... 18,010 - DIctien of one Typist II in Disaster Control 8,992 iC 0 • O 7) - Add one Typist I in Advanced Program Group . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 7,686 x Add one Accountant IV in Department of Management and Budget . . . . . . 19,386 Add one E.M.S.

April 7, 1977 The c'•,.',Ion of the Advanced Program Group, as I mentioned earlier,. would save $14,619 and have th, i. i 1 for continued cost savings by allowing us to improve the cost benefit analysis of proposed nrc,rams and policies, and by providing additional flexibility with certain kinds of work loads that now result in overtime or contract services, The ,,'1,158 saving shown for the grouping of accounting functions is also a minimum figure since it doe - n-t. reflect the long-term benefits that will result from the elimination of duplication. The can be said for the S11,002 savings resulting from the consolidation of Disaster Cont ,o1 and EMe• .ency Medical Services although, in this case, the primary benefit will be to hold Jon the costs of gearing up the EMS program. PROPOSED REORGANIZATION SUMMARY OF GROUPED SALARY SAVINGS REORGANIZATION OF PLANNING DIVISION AND CREATION OF ADVANCED PROGRAM GROUP NET SAVINGS 14,619 CONSOLIDATION OF ACCOUNTING FUNCTIONS UNDER DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET NET SAVINGS 21,158 CONSOLIDATION OF THE DISASTER CONTROL AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE DIVISIONS NET SAVINGS 11,002 TOTAL SALARY SAVINGS 767775- The new organization chart would embody all the changes I have mentioned, plus several the The number of individuals reporting directly to the County Executive would be reduced from six to four, with State and Federal Aid and Community and Minority Affairs reporting to the Executive Officer - Administration. Both these functions are closely related to the "Research and Development" capability contained in this area And both, but particularly Community and Minority Affairs, are related to the other im- portant function of this area, and that is its outreach function. An important part of the res- ponsibility of the Executive Officer - Administration, is to develop more formal and effective channels of communication and action with citizen groups, local units of government, and State and Federal Agencies. CoMmunity and Minority Affairs will be strengthened in this regard with the formation of 8 special it advisory council, We will have more details on the council's make-up and activities within the next few weeks. Under the Executive Officer - Operations, the chart reflects the change in the title of the Department of Planning and Physical Development and the various division changes, The first reorganization, in December of 1974, cost the County $84,000. This proposal will save more than 546,000 initially, not counting the $41,700 already saved, and has the potential to produce even greater savings in the years ahead. The first reorganization established a structure with six major department heads, even though Act 139 permits establishment of 12 department director positions. Compared to other major units of government, we have a much leaner organization at the top. • Quite frankly, at times we have been to lean, and the workload on inidvidual department directors has grown unrealistically heavy. As some of you know from first hand experience, we have overcome this problem as it has occurred, on a case by case basis, by using the flexibility inherent in the structure. I continue to believe that is a better solution than expanding the department level staff, and it is certainly less costly. Executive level flexibility - the kind of flexibility which permits departments to assist one another in times of stress and extreme workloads - is an important ingredient of the organi- zation chart you have just seen. Because it is one of those in ingredients that cannot be shown by lines and boxes on a chart, however, it can easily be lost sight of 1 ask that this com- mittee take special pains to consider this crucial element as you review the reorganization proposal. The other elements, as I mentioned at the outset, are: An initial cost saving. A streamlining that will lead to further cost savings. A broadened ability to react to the new realities of Oakland County. And, as the sum of these elements, the overall ability to continue Oakland County's de- served reputation as the best managed major government in the State of Michigan.

Continued federal funding will be available for expansion and improvement of the E.M.S. program through fiscal year 1980, but will have to be applied for on a year to year basis with the federal match at 25% and the local soft-match at 752 of total funding. Although it is anticipated no County cash will be necessary for the four year period, there will be a need in the second year, to make a commitment by the County for continued support of this program after federal funding has ceased. The following schedule, using first year constant federal dollars, shows the anticipated level of funding for this program. 1st year 2nd year 3rd year 4th year 711/77-6/30/78 7/1/78-6/30/79 7/1/79-6/30/80 7/1/80-6/30/81 Federal $450,123 (503) $450,123 (253) $450,123 (25%) $450,123 (25%) County -0- -0- -0- Local 450,123 (502) 1,350,369 (752) 1,,350,369 (75) 1,350,369 (75%) $900,426 $3,800,492 $1,800,492 $1,800,492 The Finance Committee, by Paul E.

In the event that it shall become necessary to increase the estimated cost of the Water System as hereinbefore stated, or if the actual cost of the Water System shall exceed the estimated cost, whether as the result of variations or changes permitted to be made in the approved plans or otherwise, then (without execution of any further contract or amendment ot this contract) the Township Board may, by resolution adopted within fifteen days after the receipt of construction bids, direct that a portion of the system be deleted sufficient to reduce the total cost to an apcunt which shall not exceed the total as cost as hereinbefore stated by more than 5%, pro- vided that such deletion shall not materially change the general scope, overall design, and purpose -of the Water System, or in the absence of the adoption of such a resolution the township shall pay or procure the payment of the increase or excess in cash, or county bonds in an increased or ad- ditional amount shall (upon adoption of an authorizing resolution therefor by the Board of Comm- i -ioners) be issued to defray such increased or excess cost, to the extent that funds therefor et ,- not available frcm other sources: Provided, however, that no such increase or excess shall be and no such increased or additional county bonds shall be authorized to be issued, nor • . II the county enter into any contract for acquisition or construction of the Water System or any part thereof or incur any obligation for or pay any item of cost therefor, where the effect thereof , in ro cause the total cost of the Water System to exceed by more than 57 its total estimated , r hereinbefore stated, unless the Township Board shall have previously adopted a resolution approving such increase or excess and agreeing that the same (or such part thereof as is not avail- 5 1 from other sources) shali be paid or its payment procured by the township in cash or defrayed by the issuance of increased or additonal county bonds in anticipation of increased or additional payments agreed to be made by the township to the county in the manner hereinbefore provided; Provided, further, that the adoption of such resolution by the Township Board shall not be required prior to or as a condition precedent to the issuance of additional bonds by the county, if the county has previously issued or contracted to sell bonds to pay all or part of the cost of the pro- ject and the issuance of the additional bonds is necessary (as determined by the county) to pay such increased, additional or excess costs as are essential to completion of the project according to the plans as last approved prior to the time when the previous bonds were issued or contracted to he aold. 9.

In the event that it shall become necessary to increase the estimated cost of the Sewer System as hereinbefore stated, or if the actual cost of the Sewer System shall exceed the estimated cost, whether as the result of variations or changes permitted to be made in the approved plans or otherwise, then (without execution of any further contract or amendment of this contract) the Township Board may, by resolution adopted within fifteen days after the receipt of construction bids, direct that a portion of the system be deleted sufficient to reduce the total cost to an amount which shall not tha total estimated cost as hereinbefore stated by more than 5%, provided that such deletion shall r. t at •rially change the general scope, overall design, and purpose of the Sewer System, Or in the ab...raf of the adoption of such a resolution the township shall pay or procure the payment of the increas , or t. in cash, or county bonds in an increased or additional amount shall (upon adoption of an authorizing resolution therefor by the Board of Commissioners) be issued to defray such increased or excess cost, to the extent that funds therefor are not available from other sources: Provided, however, that no such increase or excess shall be approved and no such increased or additional county bonds shall he authorized to be issued, nor shall the county enter into any contract for acquisition or construction of the Sewer System or any part thereof or incur any obligation for or pay any item of cost therefor, where the effect thereof would be to cause the total cost of the Sewer System to exceed by more than 5".' Its total estimated cost as hereinbefore stated, unless the Township Board shall have previously adopted a resolution approving such increase or excess and agreeing that the same (or such part thereof as is not available . from other sources) shall be paid or its payment procured by the township in cash or be defrayed by the issuance of increased or additional county bonds in anticipation of increased or additional payments agreed to be made by the township to the county in the manner here- inbefore provided: Provided, further, that the adoption of such resolution by the Township Board shall not be required prior to or as a condition precedent to the issuance of additional bonds by the county. if the county has previously issued or contracted to sell bonds to pay all or part of the cost of the project and the issuance of the additional bonds is necessary (as determined by the county) to pay such increased, additional or excess costs as are essential to completion of the project according to the plans as last approved prior to the time when the previous bonds were issued or contracted to be sold. 9. In the event that the actual cost of the Sewer System is less than the total estimated cost, then any surplus available to the county from the sale of county bonds shall, at the option of the Township Board, be used either to improve, enlarge or extend the Sewer System or the County Systems, 304 Ccmmissioners Minutes Continued. April 7, 1377 or to apply upon future payments due to the county, or to redeem bonds or to purchase the same on Ihe open market, provided that such surplus shall be used to improve, enlarge or extend the Systems only if authorized by the Board of Commissioners. Any such surplus may, for the purpose of improving, enlarging or extending the Systems, be supplemented by cash payments to be made by the township, or such improvements, enlargements or extensions may be financed entirely from such cash payments, where authorized by the Township Board. Where any such surplus is used to redeem or purchase bonds, the same shall be cancelled, and toe payments thereafter required to be made by the township to the county shall be reduced so as to reflect the resulting saving of interest and the payment required to be made in the calendar year of the stated maturity of said bonds shall be reduced by the prin- cipal amount thereof. 10. Should the township fail for any reason to pay the county at the times specified, the amounts herein required to be paid, the township does hereby authorize the State Treasurer or other official charged with the disbursement of unrestricted state funds returnable to the township pur- suant to the Michigan constitution to withhold sufficient funds to make up any default or deficiency in funds. If the full faith and credit of the county is pledged for the prompt payment of the prin- cipal of and interest on the bonds to be issued by the county and if the county is required to advance any money by reason of such pledge on account of the delinquency ot the township, the County Treasurer is hereby authorized to notify the State Treasurer to deduct the amount of money so advanced by the county from any unrestricted moneys in the State Treasurer's possession belonging to the township and to pay such amount to the county. The foregoing shall not operate to limit the county's right to pursue any other legal remedies for the reimbursement of moneys advanced on account of the default of the township. 11. The township pursuant to the authorization of Section 5a of Act No. 342, does hereby pledge its full faith and credit for the prompt and timely payment of its obligations expressed in this contract and shall each year levy a tax in an amount which, taking into consideration estimated del;nquencies in tax collections, will be sufficient to pay its obligations under this contract becoming due before the time of the following year's tax collections: Provided, however, that if at the time of making its annual tax levy, the township shall have on hand in cash other funds which have been set aside and pledged or are otherwise available for the payment of such contractual obligations falling due prior to the time of the next tax collection, then the annual tax levy may be reduced by such amount, The Township Board shall each year, at least 90 days prior to the final date provided by law for the making of the annual township tax levy, submit to the County Agency a written statement setting forth the amount of its obligations to the county which become due and pay- able under this contract prior to the time of the next following year's tax collections the amount of the funds which the township has or will have on hand or to its credit in the hands of the county which have been set aside and pledged for payment of said obligations to the county, and the amount of the township taxes next proposed to be levied for the purpose of raising money to meet such obligations. The County Agency shall promptly review such statement and, if he finds that the pro- posed township tax levy is insufficient, he shall so notify the Township Board, and the township hereby covenants and agrees that it will thereupon increase its levy to such extent as may be required by the County Agency, 12. No change in the jurisdiction over any territory in the township shall in any manner impair the obligations of this contract or affect the obligations of the township hereunder. In the event that all or any part of the territory of the township is incorporated as a new city or village or is annexed to or becomes a part of the territory of another municipality, the munici- pality into which such territory is incorporated or to which such territory is annexed shall assume the proper proportionate share of the contractual obligations (including the pledge of full faith and credit) of the township, which proper proportionate share shall be fixed and determined by the County Agency and shall be binding upon all parties concerned unless, within sixty (60) days after such incorporation or annexation becomes effective, the governing body of the municipality into which such territory is incorporated or to which such territory is annexed and the Township Board shall by mutual agreement and with the written approval of the County Agency fix and determine such proper proportionate share. The County Agency shall, prior to making such determination, receive a written recommendation as to the proper proportionate share from a committee composed of one representative designated by the Township Board of the township, one designated by the governing body of the new municipality or the municipality annexing such territory, and one independent registered engineer appointed by the County Agency. Each governmental unit shall appoint its representative within fifteen (15) days after being notified to do so by the County Agency and within a like time the County Agency shall appoint the engineer third member. If any such representative (other than the appointee of the County Agency) is not appointed within the time above provided, then the County Agency may proceed without said recommendation. If the committee shall not make the recommendation within forty-five (45) days after its appointment or with any extension thereof by the County Agency, then the County Agency may proceed without such recommendation. 13.

Because one of the basic objectives of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act is to enhance and increase the Nation's outdoor recreation resources, it is the intent of the parties hereto that recipients of assistance will use moneys granted hereunder for the purpose of this program, and that assistance granted from the Fund will result in a net increase, commensurate at least with the Federal cost-share, in a participant's outdoor recreation.

Failure by the State to comply with the terms of this agreement or any similar agreement may be cause for the suspension of all obligations of the United States hereunder. 3. Failure by the State to comply with the terms of this agreement shall not be cause for the suspension of all obligations of the United States hereunder, if, in the judgment of the Director, such failure was due to no fault of the State. In such case, any amount required to settle at minimum costs any irrevocable obligations properly incurred shall be eligible for assistance under this agreement. 4. Because the benefit to be derived by the United States from the full compliance by the State with the terms of this agreement is the preservation, protection, and the net increase in the quantity and quality of public outdoor recreation facilities and resources which are available to the people of the State and of the United States, and because such benefit exceeds to an immeasurable and unascertainable extent the amount of money furnished by the United States by way of assistance under the terms of this agreement, the State agrees that payment by the State to the United States of an amount equal to the amount of assistance extended under this agreement by the United States would be inadequate compensation to the United States for any breach by the State of this agreement. The State further agrees, therefore, that the appropriate remedy in the event of a breach by the State of this agreement shall be the specific performance of this agreement. F, Conflict of Interests 1. No official or employee of the State who is authorized in his official capacity to negotiate, make, accept, or approve, or to take part in such decisions regarding 8 contract or sub- contract in connection with this project shall have any financial or .other personal interest in any such contract or subcontract. 313 Commissioners Mini tes Continued.
