IN RE: COMMENDATION RESOLUTION - EDGAR W. FLOOD
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Edgar W. Flood retired from County service on August 31, 1975, after having served
with dedication and distinction in the Probate-Juvenile Division for 18 years, engaged in working with
youth and volunteer groups in the prevention of delinquency and neglect; and
WHEREAS Edgar W. Flood served as Director of the Oakland County Youth Assistance Program since
1963 and under his leadership and guidance the program gained national recognition and many significant
accomplishments have occurred over the years; and
WHEREAS Edgar W. Flood was a dedicated champion of the concept "that it is better to prevent
than cure," which philosophy he practiced in his 18 years of Probate-Juvenile Court services and gained
many friends in his work with youth, local units and volunteer groups;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby acknowledges
with great appreciation and commends Edgar W. Flood for his dedication in working with the volunteer
groups, local governments and others in the Oakland County Youth Assistance Program in the interests of
our youth and the prevention of delinquency and neglect.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Board extends best wishes for his future success and a long
and happy retirement.

REPORT
By Mr. Wilcox
IN RE: MISC. RESOLUTION #7324 - REQUEST FOR IMMEDIATE RESIGNATION OF BOARD OF COUNTY ROAD COMMISSIONERS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Finance Committee at their meeting of October 29, 1975 has carefully reviewed the above
resolution and thoroughly questioned the County Board of Road Commissioners who appeared before them
on this date. After this review there does not appear to be just reason for the request for resignation.
The Finance Committee thereby recommends that this resolution not be approved.
Mr. Chairman, the Finance Committee by Chairman, Richard R. Wilcox moves the acceptance of
this report.

By Mr. Wilcox
IN RE: REQUEST FOR IMMEDIATE RESIGNATION OF BOARD OF COUNTY ROAD COMMISSIONERS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS this Board of Commissioners has a responsibility to the residents of Oakland County
in the operation of the Oakland County Road Commission. The only way we can uphold that responsibility
is with our appointive power in naming the three Road Commissioners, and
WHEREAS we have just been informed that the Road Commission voted 3 to 0 to buy a building,
said building has been the subject of discussion by many residents of Oakland County and those that I
have had contact with were opposed to such purchase. Knowing these facts, the Road Commission bought
anyway.
I feel that the three Road Commissioners have acted in a very irresponsible manner with total
disregard for the residents of Oakland County and the members of this Board of Commissioners.
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. Wilcox, District #1"

A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the motion carried.

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

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.

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.

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. Such
termination of employment woti1d be unjust, especially if the affected employee has many years

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.

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.

RESOLUTION #7038 , EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION WITHIN DETROIT URBANIZED AREA OF MASS
Jr!ii1 OLTi-iiNABLE UNDER NATIONAL MASS TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE ACT OF 1974
0.1.1 klo County Board of Commissioners
n, Ladies and Gentlemen:
ier -iant to Miscellaneous Resolution #7038, adopted by this Board on April 17, 1975, the
5: I n Michigan Transportation Authority responded with the attached letter. 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?

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.

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:

Average Hourly Rate 3.29 3.44 3.34
Although average weekly training costs may vary due to the type of training and level of skill required
in different classifications, average weekly cost per enrollee has remained fairly constant throughout
the program as has the average length of training. 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.

IN RE: CONGRESSIONAL H.R. 5247, AUTHORIZE A LOCAL PUBLIC WORKS CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT AND INVESTMENT
PROGRAM
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the most severe economic decline in a generation has brought about massive unemploy-
ment; and
WHEREAS this economic situation has greatly worsened the already severe difficulties experienced
by State and Local Governments, including the County of Oakland, in funding construction of badly
needed public works projects; and
WHEREAS joblessness is especially severe in the construction industry, where fully one-fourth
of all workers are now unemployed for more than four years; and
WHEREAS the County of Oakland is experiencing growing difficulties in funding from its own
limited resources, primarily local real property taxes, its public facilities needs; and
WHEREAS the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the County of Oakland are
in jeopardy for lack of public facilities; and
WHEREAS the goal of H.R. 5247 is to provide employment opportunities for all those able,
willing and seeking work, of meeting the unmet needs of the County of Oakland for better public
facilities, and stimulating the economy; and
WHEREAS Congress has declared that a national unemployment emergency does exist and that, to
combat this unemployment emergency and stimulate activity in the construction and material industries
and in the economy generally, and to assist State and Local Governments in promoting the general welfare
of their citizens through the provision of adequate public facilities, there should be established a
program of Federal grants-in-aid to State, and local governments for the construction, repair, or other
improvement of local public facilities; and
WHEREAS the Federal Share of any project for which a grant is made under this Act shall be
100 per centum of the cost of the project, including architectural design, engineering and related
planning of local public works projects; and
WHEREAS the tentative allocation projected would result in additional appropriation to the
County of Oakland and several of its communities in an amount approximating $6,000,000; and
WHEREAS passage of H.R. 5247, by Congress, into law would have great impact on the unemploy-
ment emergency, would stimulate the economy, and would afford the means for construction and repair of
needed public facilities.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the County of Oakland does hereby strongly encourage the
Congress to swiftly and positively approve HR 5247, also referred to as the Public Works Emergency Act.
The Public Services Committee, by James W. Dunleavy, Chairman, moves the adoption of the
