Chairman - Finance Committee
Oakland County Board of Commissioners

Dear Mr. Chairman and Committee Members:
At the Public Hearing of February 19, 1976, the Board of Commissioners requested that a
financial report be prepared presenting cost savings that might be realized upon merger of the Drain
Office and Department of Public Works.
I envision a two phase approach covering both reorganization and cost savings plans. Phase
I would deal more directly with the management and/or administrative levels. Phase II would entail
a more detailed study, analysis and finally implementation of a broader reorganization of departments
below the management level. The first phase I believe should be accomplished in 30 to 60 days
following approval by the Board. Phase 11 would become effective during the next budget year.
The general overall savings to the taxpayer available through the merge of these like
functions approximates as follows:
PHASE_ I SAVINGS
1. Combine the offices of Drain Commissioner and
D P.W. Director. Replace 2 existing department
heads with a single Public Works Commissioner $30,000
With fringes $7,000
Car 2,000
Misc. expenses 1,000 10,000 $40,000
2. Avoid necessity to replace administrator of
S.O.C.S.D.S. unfilled since death of Mr.
Thornton, mid-I975. 20,000
With fringes $5,000
Car 2,000 7 000 $27,000
3. Combined staff of RIM negotiators now approximates
15 people. This can be reduced by 2 to 3, as a
result of better scheduling and coordination
following merger.
2 positions @ $12,000 each $24,000
2 positions with fringes @ $4,000 each 8,000
Vehicles or mileage 7 $32,000
4. Legal services - currently Drain Office utilizes
the services of Bob Allen, Jack Hayes, Bob
Fredericks, Don Slavin, etc. Merger would
drastically reduce the expense associated with
the use of Civil Counsel staff. $20,000
5. Consolidation of Soil Erosion staff and expenditures 5 9,000
6. Anticipated savings by adjustment to Solid Waste Budget $10,000
7. Application of Drain Office overtime control policy to
D.P.W. $300,000 overtime budget can reduce this total
by 20% $60,000
$197,000
PHASE II
Again, Phase II study and analysis will involve a detailed review of the department's entire staff
and current functions. Further, a complete review of all facilities, vehicle assignments and equip-
ment will be undertaken.
Based on the above, there will be a gradual consolidation of various line functions (such as main-
tenance crews, construction inspectors, etc.). This consolidation will involve some realignment
of supervisory positions.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 4, 1976 110
Conservative estimate of cost savings based on the
above actions, $30,000
Further refinement o f staff effectiveness 10,000
Extended savings on overtime policy 30,000
Greater flexibility among employees 10,000
Estimated further savings - 2nd year $80,000
TOTAL ANNUAL SAVINGS - PHASE I 5 11 $277 000
In conclusion, I am more convinced than ever that there is real opportunity for sub -sTuntial
savings to both the general fund and to project costs. But more importantly, a more effective
and efficient operation will result.
This program will maximize the full utilization of all public works personnel, he they now
Drain or D. P. W. employees. This will minimize the current duplication of effort inherent in
the separation of the two departmental structures.
Merge under this plan will maintain the professional expertise and effectiveness of both
departments. In addition, it will provide coordinated administration and leadership for County
wide water management functions within a single office.
Most sincerely,
GWK:s31 George W. Kuhn
