Mr. Chairman, I move that this Board of Commissioners request the immediate resignation of all three members of the Oakland County Road Commission. Richard R.

NEW SECTION III TO BE INSERTED. PROPOSED WORDING SECTION III - SEPARATION - BECAUSE OF INSUFFICIENT LEAVE TIME (SICK LEAVE, ANNUAL LEAVE, LEAVE WITHOUT PAY, ETC.) TO COVER ABSENCE FROM WORK This is an action where an employee voluntarily or involuntarily separates himself from the County service by not appearing for work to perform assigned duties. It is not a disciplinary action in that the employee initiates the action by continued absence from work. Such separations can only occur when an employee has exhausted sick leave accumulations, annual leave accumula- tions, Workmans Compensation Leave or authorized leaves of absence without pay; or, in the case where an employee cannot verity by doctor's statement a (Continued) REASON FOR CHANGE See Appendix B Section IV Subsection A of Merit System Resolution • Copies of the rules and regulations developed by the Personnel Committee and all future changes in such rules and regulations shall be submitted to the Board of Commissioners at a regular meeting of the Board of Commissioners and shall become effective thirty days . after such meeting unless objection is received in wr-Zting by the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners, in which case the objection shall become a matti, of business at the next meeting of the Board of Commissioners. 594 Commissioners Minutes Continued. November 6, 1975 PROPOSED WORDING Section III, A. - Continued physical or mental disability properly covered by sick leave and has td,:tos.led annual leave accumulations and/or authorized leaves of absence wout pay. N. The department head shall take prompt action to warn the employee of such pending separation no less than five days prior to the effective date of tl, action. Such notice shall be delivered to the employee in person or ..-E1.3tered mail, restricted delivery, with return receipt requested, •F last known address. C. Al::c_ from work between the time of mailing the warning notice and the effective date of the action of separation or the employee's return to work shall be treated as an unauthorized leave of absence without pay. Employees may ,return to work within this five day period but subject themselves to a disciplinary action for taking unauthorized leave. Repeated unauthorized leaves could lead to other disciplinary actions such as suspension without pay, demotion or dismissal. D. Employees unable to return to work prior to the effective date of pending' separation must contact the department head prior to the date of separation to seek authorization of a leave of absence without pay for the unauthorized time off. Authorization of such leaves must be requested in writing and approved prior to the effective date of the pending separation in order to prevent separation. NOTE: Granting of Leaves of Absence Without Pay are not mandatory on the part of the Department Head (see Merit System Rule 13, Leaves of Absence Without Pay). E. Employees not intending to return or who cannot return to work may, within the five days between the Warning Notice and the effective date of the separation, submit their written resignation on the forms provided by the Personnel Division thereby making the separation voluntary in the employee's record. Records of employees not submitting a written resignation or not appearing for work within the required time limits shall indicate "involuntary separation because of no leave accumulations or authorizedleave of absence without pay to cover time off work". F, Separation because of insufficient leave time to cover absence from work will not effect the employee's entitlement to income continuation benefits under the County's temporary disability, income protection plan for employees. (See Aetna group plan booklet titled "A Temporary Disability Income Protection Plan for Oakland County Employees" in your Merit System Rule Book or contact the Personnel Division for a copy.) APPENDIX B REASON FOR CHANGE: Incumbent public employees with or without Merit System status, do not possess an inherent, continuing right to a Merit System position. The public good requires that the employee be present to perform the duties required in the delivery of service for which the position was originally authorized and funded. The Merit System itself provides flexibility and relief for the employee in provisions for sick leave, annual leave and leaves of absence without pay under certain circumstances. This additional section ensures the continuation of intended County services when an employee has exhausted the relief available under the Merit System. It also allows an orderly process for separating employees no longer intending to work for the County and establishes clear cut procedures of proper notice to both the employee and the employer. Establishment of such a policy will help to make treatment of employees in similar circumstances more uniform County-wide.

November 6, 1975 RULE 15 SECTION III - PAY PERIODS REASON FOR CHANCE Current designation of the beginning of the pay period is inflexible. It does not allow internal changes necessary to bring the County into compliance with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Example: In order to bring existing Hospital scheduling practices in compliance with the Act relative to overtime payment requirements, the beginning of the pay period should be 12:01 a.m. Sunday (rather than Saturday). The only alternative is total revamping of scheduling practices and possibly a considerable increase in overtime costs. The change recommended would allow the County Executive to Make administrative immediate adjustments in the best: interest of the County.

All lower ranking employees in the Division or supervisory unit who are relatives of the Division Head or Supervisor, shall be transferred to another Division or Supervisory Unit of the same Department where they will not be supervised by a relative; exceptions may be made by the Personnel Committee of the Board of Commissioners in cases where there is an intermediate level of supervision between the Division Head or Supervisor and the related employee, REASON FOR CHANGE Current rule presents an unfair prohibition upon a qualified, promotable employee, especially in cases where the relative may not have the necessary qualifications for transfer. In such cases, the department's only alternative may be to separate the lower level employee.

November 6, 1975 599 Rule 22 Section 11, B, 1, e and f REASON FOR CHANGE: Several County departments have found it necessary, by the nature of the work, the skills available, scheduling, etc., to fill a number of their positions by two or more people, each on a part-time basis and often each employee working more than 520 hours and thus entitled to County fringe benefits. Rule 22 currently places some restrictions on part-time employees (Section II, B, 1, a, b, c and d) but does not pro-rate County benefit costs resulting in significant increases in benefit costs over and above amounts budgeted for such positions. In effect, such employees enjoy proportionately greater benefits than regular full-time employees for the hours actually worked. Pro-rating such benefit costs would bring part-time employees more in line with the value received by other full-time County employees and reduce such benefit costs to the amount actually budgeted. Misc. 7328 By Mr. Kasper IN RE: FULL-TIME SECOND COOK POSITION - SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS the Sheriff's Department was granted a part-time (1/3) Second Cook position effective January 1, 1974; and WHEREAS the inmate population of County detention facilities has increased significantly during 1974 and the first 10 months of 1975; and WHEREAS the Sheriff's Department has found it necessary to use the 1/3 Second Cook position on a full-time basis in order to reduce overtime costs, and has substantiated the need for the position on a full-time basis; and WHEREAS making the position full-time will reduce costs which would otherwise result from the assigned overtime necessary to meet minimum departmental needs in the area of food preparation; and WHEREAS the additional budgeted cost for making the position full-time from November 8 through the remainder of 1975 is $743 and the additional 1976 budgeted cost for the position will be $5,242, NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the existing 1/3 Second Cook position in the Sheriff's Department be made a full-time position.

IN RE: FUNr NO FOR SOUTHEASTERN MICHIGAN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION To the OM 'nd County Board of Commissioners Mr. Chairr idies and Gentlemen: VALHAS there is a need to develop and fund a public transportation program for Southeastern Michigan; ,,od WH! 1-'S there exists a clear need for road construction, improvement, and maintenance to assure the sn h and orderly flow of both mass transit and general vehicle travel; and WH`fIAS funding is also required to replace a short-term projected $18-$20 Million annual deficit in th,.. General Transportation Fund which, if not replaced, would hamper the State's ability to continue financing of ongoing and already committed state-wide local transit projects; and WHEREAS with the enactment of the transportation bond issue, capital grant monies will be available for numerous transportation projects such as dial-a-ride, port development, inter-city bus routes for tourist industry, etc., throughout the state; and WHEREAS all the counties in the state will require access to local match monies to fully participate and obtain benefits from the state transportation bond issue; and WHEREAS a weight tax is one of the sources of funding that can provide widely distributed tax revenues; and WHEREAS a clearly identified surcharge best enables the citizens to know and understand the nature of the tax and its purpose, and, through their elected representatives, to adjust the amount of the tax or abolish it altogether, according to financing needs; and WHEREAS a system of rebates distributed to each of the state's 83 counties on a per capita basis is the fairest method of distribution; and WHEREAS the surcharge-rebate system can be established on an interim basis and easily adjusted or abolished as more federal funds, such as the federal gasoline tax rebate now under consideration by Congress, becomes available. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby goes on record urging the Michigan Legislature to join local governmental units in Southeastern Michigan in strongly urging Congress to revise the federal gasoline tax so that one cent of the four cents now collected be rebated to the states for use in developing public transportation, and that until the federal gasoline tax rebate revenue is available the Michigan Legislature, in lieu of a regional tax, establish a state-wide surcharge on the existing weight tax averaging $7.50 for each vehicle and that 50 percent of the monies thus collected be used by SEMTA to develop a public transportation system in Southeastern Michigan and that the remaining 50 percent be rebated to the state's 83 counties on a per capita basis for such public transportation and other transportation needs as may exist, including road improvement.

The letter has bt,,c1 ,iewed by the County Executive's Planning Division and the attached report was given by the Planking Division to your Committee at its meeting of October 30, 1975, The Planning and Building Committee, by Patrick M. Nowak, Chairman, moves the acceptance of the foregoiag report. PLANNING AND BUILDING COMMITTEE Patrick M. Nowak, Chairman October 30, 1975 The letter indicates that Oakland County's share of Section Five funds would amount to 1.553 for fiscal 1975; 14.84% of the regional total. Using 14,84% as the basis, the county could receive the following amounts over six years: 1975 - $ 1.553 million 1976 - 5 2.588 million 1977 - $ 3.364 million 1978 - $ 4.011 million 1979 - $ 4.400 million 1980 - $ 4.658 million The primary objective of Resolution #7038 was to establish some general parameters within which transit development in Oakland County - the sub-region of the Detroit region can be planned for and implemented. It is difficult to substantiate the claim that development of new transit services and improvement of existing services within this sub-region and between the sub-region and the entire region can be classified as development of local transit service. The question of "need as may be demonstrated by utilization of a public transportation system" can hardly be applied in those parts of the urbanized region that does not have a minimum acceptable level of transit service. How can potential customers use public transit when it is not readily avail- able to them? sgt/dje SEMTA Southeastern Michigan Transportation Authority 211 Fort Street West, Suite 1600 P.O. Box 333 Detroit, Michigan 48231 313/962 -9800 June 30, 1975 Mr. Fred D. Houghten, Chairman Oakland County Board of Commissioners 1200 North Telegraph Road Pontiac, Michigan 48053 Dear Mr. Houghten, Reference is made to your letter of April 21, 1975 regarding the Oakland County Board of Commissioners adopted Resolution #7038, entitled "Equitable Distribution of Transit Fundings." The resolution suggests that SEMTA advise the Oakland County Board of Commissioners on what is to be an equitable distribution of such funds, based upon the federal formula which considers total urbanized population and urbanized population density. The formula if used to determine funding distribution would yield the following if counties were receiving funds directly from UMTA: WAYNE OAKLAND MACOMB TOTAL Amount: $7,804,000 $1,553,000 $1,308,000 $10,465,000 Percent: 72.66% 14.84% 12.505 100% In addition to the above the Authority has programmed as a part of Fiscal Year 1976 activities a $900,000 suburban service expansion. However, there are other factors that must be considered when determining equities. SEMTA does not receive these Federal Transit funds based upon political jurisdictions but rather from the perspective of a total urbanized region. SEMTA as a regional transit agency, does not maintain the view that its primary charge is to develop a formula which establishes an "equitable" distribution of these funds along county jurisdictions. However, in the issue of equal distribution of federal transit funds, one could be looked at from several factors: 1. Public transportation operating within a local jurisdiction versus total transportation operated in the region and fiscal requirements for maintaining that service 2. Total urbanized population and density in the local jurisdiction versus total urbanized population and density within the region. 3. Direct contributions made by a local jurisdiction through public transportation as a part of the dollar for dollar matching federal requirements and their return on same. Commissioners Minutes Continued. November 6, 1975 609 4. N«sl as may be demonstrated by utilization of a public transportation system. 5. r 1 s demonstrated by such factors as public transportation dependency due to low income, ladk of t mobiles, travel habits, etc. Such list of potential equity criteria is not exhaustive. However, SEMTA as a regional agency must con( en itself with equity as it related to providing and meeting public transportation needs of the reg nsi as a whole and, within this framework, must first concern itself with the regional persp -s7ri -).F public transportation needs, !, such a time when all local jurisdictions are in fact making contributions directly to the operation of public transportation systems in order to assist in meeting the aforementioned match requiremen,s, this perspective may change. Sincerely, Mattie J. Myers /s/ Chairwoman of the Board Moved by Nowak supported by Moffitt the report be accepted. A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the motion carried. Misc. 73's .

Title I On-The-Job Training program. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners approves the award of Phase VI of C.E.T.A. Title I On-The-Job Training Contracts in the total amount of $347,476.00 consistent with the attached budget. The Public Services Committee, by James W. Dunleavy, Chairman, moves the adoption of the foregoing resolution. PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE James W. Dunleavy, Chairman OAKLAND COUNTY - PUBLIC SERVICES - MANPOWER DIVISION CETA - TITLE I, ON-THE- JOB TRAINING On-the-Job Training has been one of the more successful operations of Title I. Training is conducted in a work environment and is designed to allow individuals to learn a bona fide skill and/or qualify for a particular occupation through demonstration and practice. Training is conducted on a "hire first, train later" basis with ultimate unsubsidized placement with the employer. OJT may involve individuals at the entry level of employment or be used to upgrade present employees into occupations requiring higher skills. Training is designed to lead to the maximum development of a participant's potential and to their economic self-sufficiency. The following illustrates a summary of the contracts approved by the Board of Commissioners as of September 18, 1975, and represents a comparison of those contracts presented before this committee for approval and shown as Phase VI: APPROVED TO. — PHASE VI TOTAL PHASES Numb , of ' a : es 263 101 Tut 1 (.o ,H ( $756,132 $347,476 $1,103,608 Av(.

This indicates that the formula used to determine training time and trainee cost is widely accepted by private employers of different industries. The Manpower staff recommends that On-the-Job training contracts listed under Phase VI be approved as submitted.
