IN RE: ALLOCATION BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 1975
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr, Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Property Tax Limitation Statute (Act 62, Section 9, Public Acts of 1933, M.S.A. 7.61)
provides the County shall, at the April Session of the Board of Commissioners, submit a budget to the
County Tax Allocation Board for its use in determining the County's share of the fifteen Mill genera/
property tax for the ensuing year. To this end, your Finance Committee, together with your Personnel
Practices Committee and the County Board of Auditors, as jointly charged, herewith present their
recommendations for the period January 1, 1975 to December 31, 1975.
The sole objective of this budget 1s to prepare for submission to the County Tax Allocation
Board a realistic total picture of the County's 1975 operational needs, those resources other than the
general property tax which will be available for that purpose, and the amount of the property tax
revenues necessary if those needs are to be implemented. That body, as charged by law, then determines
the respective tax rates for those local units, including the County, who share the 15 Mill general
property tax.
In light of this process, your Committee again advises all agencies and County Department
Heads that the recommendations herein cannot in any degree be regarded as binding until final budget
consideration when the tax rate is known and other revenues and costs can be more fully evaluated and
determined.
PERSONNEL; (Increase, 2.13 million dollars). Of this amount, 1.1 million represents
anticipated cost of 106 recommended new positions (reduced from 202 posltions requested by County
departments); 1,1 million to meet 1975 anticipated salary adjustments (approximately 4.96'0.
NON-DEPARTMENTAL: (increase, 6.0 million dollars). The projected increase in Non-Depart-
mental recommendations is largely accounted for in the following:
I. Employees' costs including Hospitalization, Life, Health and Accident Insurance,
Retirement and Social Security contributions account for approximately 1,8 million dollars.
2. Continued support of the County's Road program accounts for 1.0 million dollars.
3. Anticipated case load increases in the social services General Relief Accounts for
approximately 1.1 million dollars.
4. Continuation of the C.L.E.M,/.S. program and computerization of other departmental
functions accounts for approximately 8700,000 increase in our Data Processing Budget.
5, Community Mental Health increased $399,000 in support of it's State Budget.
6, Human Services Agency increased $212,000. This is to pay for its CORE Administration
Program for one year.
DEPARTMENTAL; (Increase including personnel costs, 3.4 million). For explanation on changes
in respective departmental budgets your attention is directed to those specific explanations therein
set out.
RECEIPTS - NON PROPERTY TAX: (Decrease $759,000)
1. A decrease of approximately $339,000 in the Hospital budgeted receipts is anticipated
due to the fact that the present 160-bed facility will be replaced by a 120-bed medical care facility.
2. State Institutions and Emergency Care receipts are reduced by approximately $250,000
due to the fact that patients under 21 years of age are now covered by the Federal Government.
3. State Reimbursement - Circuit Court Probation was decreased $100,000 because the State
changed its method of participation in this program.
4. District Court's Revenues decreased approximately S70,000, which reflects current trends
as well as anticipated effects of the energy crisis. (A large portion of their revenue is derived
from traffic fines),
FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING: In keeping with 1974 budget policy, we are recommending the
allocation of 51,450,000 to County operations, namely: State Institutions, $300,000; Library Board,
$30,000; Hospitalization, $200,000; Law Library, $40,000; Circuit Court (Court appointed attorneys),
$200,000; Medical Examiner, $200,000; Camp Oakland, $200,000; Chapter 20 S 27 Drains, $80000 and Juvenile
Maintenance, $200,000, The anticipated balance of $1,550,000 is allocated to the County Building Program
CAPITAL PROGRAM; The proposed 1975 Capital Program allocates $1,550,000 for construction of
the Children's Village; $908,250 for payments to the Building Authority (5671,750 for Law Enforcement
Complex and $236,500 for Courthouse and East Wing) and 2.3 million to provide necessary funds for the
1975 Building program as outlined in the five-year building plan.
CONCLUSION: in the judgement of your Finance Committee, these recommendations, including
the joint recommendations of the Personnel Practices Committee and the Auditors, represent, insofar
as present information is available, the amounts necessary to finance County operations for 1975 on a
level necessary to carry out the essential responsibilities of the County of Oakland.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move the adoption of the attached
Allocation Budget in the amount of $58,600,423, necessitating a requested property tax levy of
$42,388,556 for submission to the County Tax Allocation Board.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED

EMERGENCY SALARIES
"Emergency Salaries" amounts are granted to certain departments to cope with fluctuating
caseloads, to cover vacation and sick leave absences and to cover repetitive seasonal or special projects.
Experience has shown that the hiring of short term temporary employees is usually less expensive than
staffing with a larger number of full-time permanent employees to meet peak loads. Often the use of
"Fmergercy Salaries" allows a department to have a roster of on call" employees available to cope with
emergencies. Permission must be obtained from the Board of Auditors, through the Personnel Division,
before such funds can he used. The amounts recommended for the various departments are shown on the
summary sheet.

OVERTIME RESERVE
The creation of the Overtime Reserve, within the Salaries Reserve Fund, allows funds to be
budgeted for the payment of overtime without committing the funds to particular departments. Overtime
is used only when the work and the time of doing it are assigned by the department head and only
employees in certain categories are eligible for overtime. pay. The County's computer maintains a
running account of the overtime used, detailing it by department and employee. $776,878 was spent for
this purpose in 1973 of which $572,452 was for regular overtime and $264,426 was holiday overtime. Also
charged to this fund is the cost of pay for off-duty Court Appearance by Law Enforcement employees.
SUMMER EMPLOYMENT
Oakland County has traditionally hired college and high school students to perform a variety
of routine jobs during the summer months. Summer employees help to fill an employment gap created by
annual leaves, usually taken during the summer by regular, full-time employees. The summer employment
program lends itself well to seasonal work performed in the maintenance of County grounds, the operation
of County parks and repetitive tasks accumulated throughout the year by the various County departments,
Currently the County pays $1.75 per hour for the first year and $2.00 per hour for the second year for
Summer Clerical help. Summer Grounds help receives $2,25 per hour for the first year and $2.50 per hour
for the second year Modifications pending in the minimum wage law will increase the minimum wage to
$2.00 tentatively effective May 1, 1974, Placing these funds for Summer Employment In the Salaries
Reserve Fund allows the Personnel Practices Committee to oversee summer emp l oyment d i stribution.

774.IXINI/ PAD TUITION REIMBURSEMENT
19 tt-ro• monies in the Salaries Reserve Fund, a method first employed in the 1970
Budc.:et, 01 1o.s the Lloard of Auditors to coordinate, and the Personnel Practices Committee to oversee,
training activities, which have become more important as the County seeks to upgrade present employees
instead of fiphting in the competitive market for the hard-to-get specialists and technicians. The
major expenditures from this fund are to finance the County's Tuition Reimbursement Program under which
tuition is reimbursed to an employee after he has successfully completed a course which was approved
by both his department head and the Board of Auditors: through its Personnel Division.
FLAS51FICATION AND RATE CHANGES DURING fUDGET YEAR
Because the County is a very complex institution which is constantly changing its scope,
the duties of many positions change during each budget year. With over 2,800 positions, it is not
possible to study and report all such changes in time to be reflected in the County's annual Budget,
many changes in classification and some rate adjustments must be made during the Budget year. The
creation of new classifications and new salary rates can only be done by the Board of Commissioners
and these funds can be used oni ,/ with the approval of the Board.
POSSIBLE SALARY ADJUSTMENTS
At this time, there are many unknowns affecting the 1975 salaries of County employees. Labor
Contracts will be negotiated, comparable competitive salary structures will be analyzed, the auto
industry bargaining will have taken place, the policies of the Federal Government and the condition of
the Nation's economy will all have a considerable effect on the salaries picture. The $1,111,333
recommended for this purpose at this time is 4.87 of the cost of old positions, new positions and the
Overtime Reserve.
FRINGE BENEFIT IMPROVEMENTS
$250,000 is recommended in this budget for fringe benefit improvements due to the fact that
the County will be re-negotiating all labor contracts in 1975.
