RESOLUTION BY JOSEPH L. BARAKAT
IN RE: APPORTIONMENT COMMISSION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the statutory Apportionment Commission of Oakland County recently adopted, by a
straight party-line vote, an apportionment plan for districts of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners;
and the apportionment plan adopted is clearly inferior in every statutory requirement, including equality
of population, adherence to community boundaries, combination of territory of cities and townships,
compactness and regularity of shape to other plans before the Commission; and
WHEREAS the proceedings of the Commission were characterized by numerous irregularities,
including failure to adopt rules of procedure, failure to keep an official tape recording of the
proceedings and failure to adequately consider all plans presented to the Commission despite the fact
that all these courses of action were proposed by some members of the Commission; and
WHEREAS the unnecessary splitting of cities and townships by the adopted plan not only violates
the commandment of the statute under which the Commission operates but also destroys the ability of local
government to maintain an effective liaison with County government; and
WHEREAS the new plan tends to divide some local municipalities into as many as seven districts
and tends to assign to some Commissioners the responsibility of representing seven municipalities, all of
which is contrary to sound principles of local government; and
WHEREAS many responsible citizens, groups and newspapers attacked this obvious irresponsibility,
including The Eccentric, which wrote in its March 2, 1972 Editorial:
"The Republicans want control of the County at any cost. That's too high a price to pay."; and
WHEREAS the final re-districting plan assures a disproportionate partisan representation, such
an action being contrary to the spirit of the court's one man-one vote ruling; and
WHEREAS the plan adopted is substantially discriminatory to minority groups within the County
and attempts to remove their representation from the Board of Commissioners;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners officially censors
the actions of the Apportionment Commission and specifically the actions of Mr. Lynn Allen, County Clerk-
Register of Deeds, and Mr. Hugh Dohany, County Treasurer for placing partisan advantage above the welfare
and the wellbeing of the citizens and the governments of this County.
Mr. Chairman, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution
Joseph L. Barakat
County Commissioner, District #5

A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the motion carried.
Moved by Kasper supported by Daly the Journal For the January Session be approved and closed

Misc. 5971
By Mr. Burley
IN RE: ALLOCATION BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 1973
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 general
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, 1973 to December 31, 1973.
The sole objective of this budget is to prepare for submission to the County Tax Allocation
Board a realistic total picture of the County's 1973 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.
The proposed budget representing cut-backs of approximately $3,000,000 under departmental and
non-departmental requests calls for an overall increase of 9.2 million dollars over the 1972 final budget.
The indicated 6.57 Mills needed to finance this budget is based on the assumption of a 10% rise in the
State Equalized Valuation.
PERSONNEL: (Projected increase 2.8 million dollars) The salaries portion of the budget as set
forth in the attached report of the Personnel Practices Committee and Auditors includes provision for
97 new employees (reduced from the 168 positions requested by County departments) and a one million
dollar adjustment contingency for salary adjustments. In addition, full financing has been included for
the 59 Public Employment Program employees for the last four months of 1973.
NON-DEPARTMENTAL: (Projected increase 4.2 million dollars) The increase in non-departmental
recommendations is largely accounted for in the following:
1. Employee cost including Workman's Compensation, Employees' Hospitalization Insurance,
Employees' Life Insurance, Employees' Retirement Fund, and Social Security account for a projected
increase over the 1972 final budget of $947,000.
2. The increase of $106,250 in Building Authority Payments is primarily the Law Enforcement
Institute scheduled for construction and financing in 1973. Building Authority Payments in the amount
of $1,339,250, together with the proposed allocation of Miscellaneous Non-Tax Revenues of $1,464,941
and the statutory 1/10 Building Fund Appropriation of $560,838, constitute the proposed 1973 financing
of the County Five-Year Capital Program.
3. Care of mentally ill, up $449,000, reflects the sharply increasing caseloads and rapidly
increasing cost for hospital and professional services in this area.
4. The $308,000 increase in the Contingent fund is to bring that fund to a more realistic
minimum of approximately 1% of the total proposed budget.
5. The mandatory 1/4 Mill for Huron-Clinton paid from the County share of the 15 Mill Property
Tax calls for an increase of $127.000.
6. Support for County roads has been re-established to the extent of $700,000 of the 1.6
million dollars requested by the Road Commission and $100,000 has been provided for financing of the
Local Assessing Assistance Program,
7. The largest single item of increase in the non-departmental section is for Social Welfare
with an increase of $662,000 in General Relief, $298,000 in Hospitalization, and $188,000 in Relief
Administration. For further details on these programs see pages 42, 43 and 44.
DEPARTMENTAL: (Projected increase, including Personnel costs, 4.9 million dollars) For
explanations on changes in the respective departmental budgets, your attention is directed to the specific
explanations therein set out. In most respects it will be noted that projected increases are due to
increasing and/or more difficult caseloads, increased cost of outside services especially in the area of
professional and hospital, and the increasing complexity, higher costs and expanded scope of operations
demanded through State Legislation. Supreme Court decisions and/or directives of various State agencies.

Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 11, 1972
RECEIPTS: In most instances projected receipts reflect a —normal pattern of increase. however,
disappointing 1970 fourth quarter and 1971 first quarter returns From the State Income Tax under the
formula indicate a substantial reduction in this area Likewise; the lowering of interest rates on
investments and the direct State-Local disbUrSeMent of 16Cal'InCome tai matiles neCeSsitate a decreased
estimate of these revenues.
In the judgment 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 1973 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 $48,605,449, necessitating a requested property tax levy of $36,864,196
for submission to the County Tax Allocation Board.

-commissioners Minutes Continued. April 11, 1972
POSITIONS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED
The Funds allocated for the cost of previously approved positions are placed directly in
each department's salaries budget. For the Allocation Budget, the cost of these "old" positions are
projected by the County 4S cómptiter at the current salary rates, but programmed to take into consideration
such items as advances through the merit steps of the salary -rangeef .each employee's classification and
changes in Service lhcrevent pay, which is based on length of Cdunty Service. The costing is made on
the assumption that the same employees will be filling the same position in 1973 as are filling them
now.
PERSONNEL. TURNOVER ADJUSTMENT
To allow for savings resulting from positions being filled by new employees at lower salary
steps than budgeted and frOM some pósitionS being unfilled during part of the year, 0 "Personnel
Turnover Adj:OstMent" amountiSCOMptited and deducted from the budget in the Budget Summary on the Index
Page. For thisb-Odget the Personnel Turnover Adjustment amount is $300,000.
SALARY RESERVE FUND '
Funds for the follow,ing purposes are not placed directly into the departmental salaries budgets,
but are instead budgeted in the "Salaries Reserve Fund", which is an overran.: fund not allocated at this
time to particular: departments:, Funds for New Positions are transferred to departmental budgets only
when the positions are filled and only the amount needed to cover the cost of the position for the
remainder of the year is transferred.: Funds for Emergency Salaries, Overtime and :Summer Employment are
transferred monthly to Cover actual expenditures 'during he month. This method of allotting these funds
insures a tight control and forces a monthly review of these activities
NEW POSITIONS
Ninty Seven new positions costing: $904J04 are recommended For 19 County Departments out of
the 168 new positiqn-s :costing S1,573,572 which were requested by the departments
Descriptions of the positions requested and recommended and the reasens they were requested
are given on the shorter colored pages of the budget dotument.
The recommendations were arrived at after hearings With the departments involved, in which the
need for most of the 168 requested positions were well substantiated. Many were repeat requests from
previous years anci.most of the requested positions would be involved in staffing categories of service
to the public which are provided only by County Government.
EMERGENCY SALARIES
"Emergency Salaries" amounts are granted to certain departments to cope with fluctuating
caseloads, to cover Vacation' and sick leave absences and to Over repetitive seasonal or special
projects. Experience*has shown that :the. hirihg of short term teMporary employees 1$ usually less
expensive than staffing With a larger 'number of full-time permanent employees te meet peak loads. Often
the use of "Emergency Salarie0: 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 be used. The amounts recommended for the various departments are shown
on the summary sheet

TOTALS $ 167,600 $ 80,400
NOTE: Some of the Departmental requests included amounts earmarked for Summer Employment programs.
Amounts for Summer Employment are not included in the recommendation.
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. $450,024 was spent for this purpose in
1971. Also charged to this fund is the cost of Premium Pay for Legal Holidays worked and 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.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 11, 1972
Currently the County pays $1.75 per hour for the first year and $2.0 .0 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. Placing these fonds for Summer :Employment in• the Salaries Reserve•Fund, as in the
case of 'other Auditors coordinated programs, allows the Personnel Practices Committee to oversee summer
employment distribution.
TRAINING AND TUITION REIMBURSEMENT
Placing these monies in the Salaries Reserve Fund, a method first employed in the 1970 Budget,
allows the Board of Auditors to coordinate, and the Personnel Practices Committee to oversee, all
training activities, which have become more important as the County seeks to upgrade present employees
instead ...of fighting 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 le 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.
POSSIBLE CLASSIFICATION AND RATE CHANGES DURING BUDGET 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 2,400 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.
POSSIBLE SALARY ADJUSTMENTS
At this time, there are many unknowns affecting the 1973 salaries of County employees. Labor
Contracts will be negotiated which will cover approximately one-fourth of the Countys employees. The
County will conduct its annual salary survey in August. In addition, the policies of the Federal Pay
Board and the condition of the Nation's economy will have a considerable effect on the salaries picture.
The one million dollars recommended for this purpose at this time is 5.3% of the cost of old and new
positions and the Overtime Reserve.
FINANCING PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM POSITIONS
The Public Employment Program positions are shown on page I. This program is approved through
August 31, 1973. The costs included in this $177,821 would fund these positions through the remainder
of 1.973 if the Federal Government does not extend the program.
