Daniel 1. Murphy, Oakland County Executive presented the Recommended 1977 Budget,
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentiemen:
in accordance with the provisions of Public Act 139, I hereby submlt my budget recommen-
dations for 1977.
Although total departmental requets to fund existing programs, program improvements and
new programs exceeded ava:lable resources by S4.0 million, your County Executive is recommending a
balanced budget for 1977 that maintains County employment and program se.rvice delivery at existing
levels with no resultant increase in the current tax levy of 5.26 mills. After a comprehensiv
review of the present array of mandated and discretionary services currently provided by Oakland
County and a thorcegh examination of anticipated revenues necessary to fund those service ,,, total
requests were reduced from 569.9 million to 565.9 mi/lion and, although 123 new positions were
requested, for the second consecutive year none are recommendd.
Allowing for an accounting charge which incorporates the Sheriff's Township Contracts into
the budget for the first time, the 1977 Recommended Budget represents an 8,35 increase over the 1976
Adopted Budget, identical to the pre,mious year's percentage increment of 8.3%-
This "Hold-The-Line.' budget recommendation is being submitted at a time when the economic
prognosticators are characteristically divided in their assessments of the short and intermediate
term direction our economy is going to take. The business community is confident that, despite
present signs of faltering, the economy wiM grow at a balanced sustainable pace in 1977. Their
rilative optimism is in sharp contrast with some of the undisguised pessimtsm coming out of the
government bureaucracy these days. The bureaucrats seem to' feel that the slowdown i s om i nous
and, naturally, have a simple cure: more government spending. It is noteworthy that the nature
of businessmen is to thi.nk optimisticaliy: you can't Cttn a hnr',inest on gloom and doom, On the
other hand, it is also the nil ore' of government hureauerols to rcgard gOVCrnmpilt siw,ndinu
cure for everythin<].
The truth is, thc current pattern and piosnests el he economy probably 1 ,111 ,,umewhere
between the busoessmn's optimism about sales and the hureAtIc„rar.s' brooding over fiscal policy.
Earlier this year, economists had t,r,lf-nd that thc rate of oxl:;onls ion in the first quarter of 1976
(9.2) annually) could not he sustained all year. But after a drop-off to A.57 in the second quarter,
many expected some pickup. It didn't happen. In fact, there was a further dip to Lit in the third
quarter.

:(-.)mmTsi-r;ioners Minote7 ContInued. November 4, 1976
Although tni'.; relative pause in the urowth of our economy may give some cause for concern,
rhe chief economic menace at s mc,..cn -. remains infiation - not recession. From an unti-inflationary
ocint of. vicw, ecor,.emic data Ln MOnthS IS not at all discouraging, in fact, it is encourag-
inflation may welt decline. year belN, the current 5.75% annual rate, good news for the
(..,i,nt? Treasury and the. pocketbooks of 311 wagc, earners whether they are publicly or privately
..r
Whie- the St.ate Legis/ature is currently delfterating on the merits of establishinn an
'3bilization Fund", Oakland County, by adopting this budget recommendation, wi/I once
provide the needed leadership by embracing the concept of accumulating surplu,.; revenues derived
tr,. an ::-.f..onotic upturn, such as the 01' .a ,herenced di-iriri 076, to he to stimulate the local
star -rip pericds of little or nc, ,:uch as the period re arc. just now encountering. In
sr I on of the. f.act that change in our cmmunity is accelerating, people's needs are. more complex
aridthrur that government s.ervice..., r-e .t these e.xpanded needs are ever growing, this proposed
budnt flciude• recondation to use -)ne million dollars (S1,000,000) from prior veers
b:Oanceto upPlot current revenues anticipated for 1977 rather than cut hack essential services.
Although, it is recognized that financing the current year's operation with savings from prior year-;
does not ii-present a healthy situation, your County Execut;ve believes that ths action is necessary
and jutified so as not to aggrevate an already critftal unemployment situation in our communty and
in,:,tead attempt to alieviate that condition through implementation of our own County Economic
StaH.liaation Fund.
In addition to the foregoing comments, the following highlights summarize the various
cq.-on,,:nts of your County Executive's 1977 budget recommendation.
(Tcifal 595,995,299) _ _ _ _ The major source of County Revenues (97%.) is derived from the Property Tax Levy which will
ileneraie 636,9 million in 1977. Even though the millage. rate has remained constant from year to
year, revenucs from this source are projected to he less than in 1976 due to the implementation of
the fir'Oe •5.,1rICS5 Tar which removed inventories from the Personal Property Tax Rolls.
derived from not sources, including Federal Revenue Sharing, State
Inc:m' Tay., Child Care Subsidy. and other miscellaneous subsidies, account for 27FF. of total
r,vcn..1,— amounting to over 514 million, This amount "represents a 297 increase over the 510.9 million
H.:Aud,d in the 1976 Budcet as a result or enactment of Public. Act 280 which libr4:1li..7. Stair.
ef cc-.;,: incurred hy the Child Care Fund and Public Act 228 which provided for State reimhur ,,ement of
1.pst on inventories. It ,.,honld be noted that the. formula Cor determining the anount of rim
t on i-!Ic value of those inventories at the end of 1974 with no adiutment for growth
nor contemplated. In other words, the State has once again polled the financial
rug out from the Counrly no attendant reduction in mandated s.ervices.
The hc ...c: rajar category of revenue is Charges for Services which amounts to 59,5 million
and aciourds for 14'4 County Revenues. This category has experienced a significant year to year
increase ( 3%) primaril .y due to the inclusion of the Sheriff Township Patrol Contracts in the Budget
for th-e fir.:.t time.
mi.,,celluneous Revenues account for the remaiHng 75-: of total County revenues which include
interest earned And charges for use of County properties, as well as, the carryover of the anticipated
one mrn;r.ua dollars of Year End Balance_ A projected increase of one-half of one percent (.5%) in
the interest rate translates into increased interest earnings of approximately 5200,000, Revenues
derivr>d from the Use of Property are forecasted to increa s e by 5130,000 due to the State Departgient
Servie.s reimbursement for the use of County owned facilities.. The Year-End Balance is not
a revcnue in the true sense of the word but an additional 1.-esource that is available for funding
current operations. Availability of these monies is dftectly. related to the effectiveness of the
adilnlstration's cost control program. i.e., review and justification of all proposed operating
expend:tures ;ncluding Personal Services, Contractual Services, Commodities, Travel and Conference,
Capital Outlay and Overtime,
The County's budgetry process is not made up of separate elements, hut 15 a constant and
c.ontinuing blow of planning, decision making, accomplishment and control. The development of the
annual budget document is only one part of the process for each fiscal year and, because of its
intensity and focus, should not detract from tho continuing aspects of the overall process, especially
cot. control
Appropriations (Total 965,995,269)
in previous pears, the first allocation of revenues to the expenditure budget was the
Building Fund Appropriatjon, The Building Fund Appropriation was reduced by 757 in the 1976 Budget
and is eliminated altogether in the 1977 Recommended Budget because sufficient funds are currently
avaHable in tha:-. fund ro complete work in progress, such as the marble corrections on the East 4ing
of the Lourthou-se, and to initiate hew projects, such as Inc renovation of the. vacated County Hospital
for addii.ional office space.
The ADpropriations Budget consists of four major categories which parallel the service
pa: Page provided by the County including, Law Enforcement and Justice, General Government and
1.2gislative, r,-‘11,1ty f,,f-tive Administration and Non-Department Appropriations, Twenty-six Percent
cr th, '-'Errr;t1,.r: Budget amounting to 916,9 million is allocated to the Administration of
E'nforcement arel Justice program area which includes the Sheriff's Department, Prosecuting Attorney's
V'Face, District, Probate and Circuit Courts. This amount equates to a 16% increase over 1976 or
million, primarily attributable to mplementation at the Prosecutor's Organized Crime Strike Force,
incorportion of the Sheriff's Township Contracts and full County funding of the Youth Assistance
Grant Program.
562 Commissioners Minutes Continued. November 4, 19'„76
Thrr.c, million dollars (53,000,000) or 5 9". of the total Budget is recommended
to fund the Ge,er,I Government and Legisiative Departments, including the County Treasurer, Drain
Commissioner, Clerk/Register and the Board of Commissioners. This amount represent ,., a 5250,000
decredse from the 1976 allocation due to fewer expenses in the Clerk's Election Budget as a result
Si 1977 heing a non-election year
The programs over which the County Executive exercises direct control, which constitute
Pohiic Services, Human Services, Planning and Physft.al Development, Central Services, Personnel,
Management and Budget and Administration, account for 421 of the Total Budget or $27.5 million.
Although the County Executive's proportion of the Total Budget remains virtually unchanged from
1576, specific priorities have changed as follows

Central Services 3
Management and Budget --
Public Service ,: 4t Ij;
Planning and Physical
Development I S --
Personnel 2 --
AaTlinistrarion
tot a l txecutice 100Z ODE
The decrease in Human Services attributable to increased State funding of Community
Mental Health Servic-- and decreased caseload for the Department of SociaT Services. The intrease
in Central Services is attributable to sky rocketingutility costs for County Buildings and full
implementation of the CLEM'S Program at Computer
Non-Departmental appropriations amount to S18.5 million and represent. of the total
„budget. Comparing 1977 recommendations to the. 1976: adopted budget, r1-0 ,; category has experi7nced
a 2.3r increase. The significant changes include inflarioniy nieivsnres on employee fringe hrnofits
(Si .7 million) and Liability Insurance (S.2 million), as well as, o rensonablr amount in Soro Ii
Reserve for rLigotiated wage increases and equity adjustments.
General F-.dral Revenue Sharing
Oakland County x leased to note. that the Federal Revenue Sharing Program has hen renewed
for 3 3/4 years thru September 30, 1980. The renewal legislation maintains the allocation formula
essentially the same and the priority categories of allowable expenditures have been removed which
permits local government to weave these monies into the fabric of their own financial plans taking
into account locally established prierities. Therefore. I respectfully recommend that the 53,280,000
of 1977 Revenue Sharing Funds be fully allocated to the Sheriff's Department to partially fund that
departments S6.6 million budget.
CETA Funded Personnel
At the present time there are approximately 191 Positions in the County under the provisions
ct the Comprehensive Employment Training Act (CE TA) at an annual cost of 52.3 million including
Fringe Benefit.s. No provisions are made in the Budget to absorb any of these positions if Federzii
f,;nds cease, All departments have been informed of this fact and instructed that they should attempt
to place these people in regular budgeted positions as soon as vacancies occur. While ii is
recognized that these employees are performing a necessary service, without additional Federal monies
the County cannot afford to fund these pesitions under the current and contemplated financial
conditions.
In closing, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the membership of the. Board,
individually and collectively, for your efforts and cooperation in the implementation of a Unified
Form of Government in Oakland County. With your help, significant progress has been made to date
and I am looking forward to working with you to meet the challenges of the future.
Respectfully submitted,
Daniel T. Murphy /s/

The Chairman referred the Recommended 1977 Budget to the Finance Committee and Personnel
