ing units which have not ratified contracts as of this date.
Sheriff Drain Commission Maintenance Employees

Recommended 1973 salaries for these employees will be submitted to the Board of Commissioners
as contracts for these groups are negotiated and ready for ratification.

P.F.P. POSITIONS
The Count)) has 100 positions financed from Federal Public Employment Program funds, This
program was established as a two year program with the second year funding set to expire. August 31,
1973.
Sixty-five of these P.E.P. postioh.s are in departments where positions are normally funded
from the salaries portion of the County Budget and most of the P.E.P. positions were granted in lieu
of giving new positions to the County's departments for 1972. A review has been made and it is
recommended that the 61P.E.P. positions shown in Chart N be made County budgeted positions, either
when the P.E.P. funding ends 8/31/73 or when funding for individual positions is canceled under the
Federal GoVernment's present program of canceling funding when a P.E,P. position becomes vacant. It
is estimated that the County cost for these 61 positions will be $300,000 for 1973. The total salaries
cost Flederal . and County) for all of 1973 would be approximately 5514,200.
SALARY ADJUSTMENTS
The 51,005,267 included in this recommendation for salary adjustments. is 5,5/ of the cost
of previously approved budgeted positions and new budgeted positions. it is a bulk amounL and 8
recommendation on the amounts of individual 1973 salary adjustments will be submitted in the future.
Federal Pay Board regulations currently limit salary and fringe benefit adjustments to
5,5l/ of the cost of salaries and fringe benefits, In addition, current Pay Board regulations include
salary increases resulting from merit increases and service increment changes within the 5.5/. A
computer projection at 1972 salary rates shows that .86/ of the cost of salaries would be used up in
merit increase and service increment adjustments during i973.
FRINGE BENEFIT IMPROVEMENTS
Five fringe benefit improvements are included in this. recommendation.
RETIREMENT PLAN
With• the term F.A.C. representing the Final Average Compensation for the highest five of
the last ten years of covered employment:
The present retirement formula is:
(4200 x .0145) + (F.A.C. - 4200) x .017) x years of service = Annual Pension at
Standard Option
Two changes are proposed and have been approved by the Oakland County Employee's Retirement
Commission:
The First recommendation would level out the formula at .017 of all. F.A.C. with the cost of
approximately $280,637 paid by the employer,
The second recommendation would raise the formula to .018 of all F.A.C. contingent on the
employees voting to raise their contribution from 5r-/., of salary to 67. The employer cost for this
would be an -additional $45,065.
HOSPITALIZATION INSURANCE
One proposed change itt this benefit would add a two dollar deductable prescript ion.drug
payment under which the employee would present a charge type card to his pharmacist and in addition
pay the fir's. $2.00 of the cost of each prescription. This is the type of program industrial

hospitalization insurance coverage in thearea has offered for several years.
The second change liberalizes payments under the Master Medical Coverage in a number of
areas including reducing the deductabIe by half: (from $200 to $100 for a family and from $100 to $50
for an individual). The reimbursement after the deductable i5 increased for most eligible expenses
from 80% to 90% and reimbursement for certain outpatient psychiatric and private duty nursing care is
increased from 50% to 75%.
The costs of these two changes are interrelated and come to $95,065 for the coverage of
employees and retirants.
WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION SUPPLEMENT
At present, a County employee off work due to an injury or illness, deemed compensable by
the Workmen's Compensation Commission, shall be paid, by the County, the difference between 80% of his
regular normal salary, at the time injured, and the payment made under the provisions of the Workmen's
Compensation Act for as long as such Workmen's Compensation payments are received, but not to exceed
52 weeks.
This proposal would change the payment made by the County for compensabie time off, of one
week or less, (due to an original injury or illness or reoccurance of a compensable injury or illness)
to the difference between 100% of the employee's normal regular salary and the Workmen's Compensation
payment, In those cases where the compensable time off is prolonged, the County supplement for that
time off exceeding five (5) working days would be reduced to the 80% supplementation described above
and the maximum total time of supplementation would remain at 52 weeks. .
This change is recommended to offset the high cost of administering the 80% supplement for
short periods of compensable time. Approximately 75% of County Workmen's Compensation cases (150 cases
in 1972) last for one week or less, while supplements paid for these short periods amount to 10% or less
of the total supplement cost.
The increased cost of this change for 1973 will be approximately $1,200 and does not take into
consideration the value of time that will be saved in administration of the program. Because the cost
of this change will be spread over many departments and because the effect on each department will be
minimal, no budget adjustment is necessary.
pOOD_FRIDAY
Presently the hours between 12 noon and 3:00 P.M. on Good Friday are granted off with pay
whenever possible, for the purpose of allowing employees to attend religious services. These hours are
not considered "holiday time" to those employees who do not normally work those hours, or for those
employees on annual leave or sick leave during this day.
Because not all employees normally scheduled to work during these hours can be allowed time
off, it is proposed that employees who are required to work between 12:00 noon and 3:00 P.M. on Good
Friday be compensated at the rate of time-and-one-half for the hours actually worked. Presently,
employees are compensated at straight time, whether they are on the job, at religious services or
elsewhere, if the three hours fall within their shift. The additional cost for this proposal in 1973
is estimated to be $1,269, would be spread over several departments and would be.paid only to those
officially assigned to work and who did work during the three hour period.

To. The Honorable Board of Commissioners
Oakland County, Michigan
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
As required by State Law, the Oakland County Board of Auditors on October 5, 1972 presented
their 1973 Budget recommendations to the Board of Commssioners, in accordance with Board rules ; these
in turn have been referred to the Finance, Personnel Practices and Planning and Building Committees for
study and recommendation on the final 1973 Budget. Your Finance Committee, after review of the
recommendations of the Auditors, the Personnel Practices Committee, the Planning and Building Committee;
and after conducting hearings with County Departments and other agencies requesting funds, now present
,their_recommehddi budget tor the fiscatyear_beginnjng January 1, 1973 and ending December 31, 1973 in
the amount of $44,549,057.
Major developments since October 5th, together with the passage of the Federal Revenue
Sharing Act, have necessitated changing of revenue and expenditure expectations of the County for 1973,
In this regard your Finance Committee, together with the other Committees involved in Budget review,
have had the benefit of revised Auditors' recommendations.
No detail departmental sheets have been included with this Budget document. Due to limits
of time and to avoid unnecessary duplication of costs and because with few exceptions, the departmental
detail sheets submitted by the Auditors on October 5th are the same as those herein recommended;
departmental details as submitted by the Auditors should be considered a part of these recommendations
with exceptions as hereafter noted.
REVENUES
I. Continuance of the County Allocated Rate of 5.26 mills will provide increased County
Revenues of 1,5 million dollars. It should be noted that of the total tax levy of $28,334.795, 1/4
mill or $1,346,710 of these revenues will be collected for, and paid as required to the Huron-Clinton
Park Authority.
2. Federal Revenue Sharing is expected to provide additional revenues for 1972/73 of 3.4
million dollars (see fuller explanation under Federal Revenue Sharing below).
3. Other County revenue estimates have been increased over 1972 by 2.97 million dollars.
As previously noted by the Auditors in their October 5th recommendations, 1.41 million dollars of this
increase merely reflects corresponding increases of costs for Child Care, CountY Hospital, Probate-
Juvenile Maintenance, State Institutions and Emergency Care.
4. in order to meet recommended expenditure requirements, your Committee has included in its
Revenue projections a $100,000 commitment of the 1972 anticipated year-end balance.
FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING
At the time of preparation of these recommendations no exact Federal estimates on-Revenue
Sharing for the County were available. However, the Auditors and your Committee believe we can
realistically expect 1972/73 Federal Revenues to be 3.9 million dollars.
For budget purposes we have estimated a total of 3.4 million dollars covering all Of 1972
and the 1st three quarters of 1973. The 4th quarter of 1973 will not be paid until January of 1974.
The Auditors and your Committee have recommended under this year's budget the following
commitment of these funds,
1, $200,000 each (total $600,000) for payment of County obligations in the following
programs: Current chapter 20-21 Drains, County Indigent Hospitalization Care Fund and payments to
State Institutions for care of County patients. These programs have been recommended for the following
reasons:
(a) They meet Federal high priority tests,.
(b) They clearly avoid Federal prohibition against use of Revenue Sharing Funds to metal
bther Federal Grants and Aid,
(c) They meet Accounting and Audit requirements provided in the Act.
2. The balance of the 1972 and 1st three quarters of 1973 Federal Revenue Sharing, presently
estimated at 2.8 million dollars, will be committed, on a cash basis, to Children's Village-Phase 11 at
a cost of 5.2 million dollars, With future commitments of Federal Revenue Funds of 1.4 million dollars
in 1974 and one million in 1975, construction of this facility can be started in 1973 at a direct
interest savings to the taxpayers of Oakland County of approximately 5 million dollars or more.

SALARIES
Included in the Committee's recommendations is a total sum of $20,383,016, less the $200,000
estimated turnover adjustment, to cover the Personnel portion of the budget as recommended by the
Personnel Practices Committee as set forth in their attached report, It is to be specifically noted
that the internal distribution as reported by that Committee is being transmitted with no recommendation
on the part of your Finance Committee. Further, your Committee advises that while it has accepted the
bulk salary adjustment estimates as presented by Personnel Practices, it has asked to review, upon
completion and before submission to the Board, the detailed recommendations covered under this overall
estimate.
NON-DEPARTMENTAL EXPENDITURES
I. Non-Departmental Expenditures totaling $15,204,393 reflect an increase of $108,166 over
the Auditor's original estimates as follows: Building Authority Payments, minus $364,250; Southeastern
Michigan Transportation Authority, minus $5,000 (decreased request); Capital Outlay, plus $8,000;
Comprehensive Health Planning Council, plus $19,800; Contingent Fund, plus $235,925; Current Chapter
20-21 Drains, plus $13,691; Social Security, plus $100,000 and $100,000 additional for the Utilities
Parking Lots and Roads Fund (to replace the $100,000 removed from that fund as a part of the 1971
economy measures). These changes have been recommended by the Board of Auditors and are concurred in
by your Committee.
2. As previously noted under Revenue Sharing recommendations above, $200,000 of current
Chapter 20-21 Drains (total $475,691), $200,000 of Social Services-Hospitalization (total $515,000)
and $200,000 of Care of Mentally III-State Institutions (total 1.2 million dollars) will be paid
directly from these Federal Funds.
3. The recommended appropriation of 1.5 million dollars to the Employees' Retirement Fund,
together with those contributions collected from outside financed County Agencies whose employees are
members of the County Retirement Plan, are expected to meet the required overall 1973 County contribut-
ion, as estimated by the Actuary, of $2,232,536; payment of which is recommended,
CAPITAL PROGRAM
Your Committee in order to provide the necessary funds for the 3973 Building Program, as
presently recommended by the Auditors, and accepted in concept by the Planning and Building Committee,
are recommending total funding in the amount of $5,436,902 as follows:
1. Building Fond balance from prior years $369,980
2. Building Authority Payments East Wing, Law Enforcement - Jail Complex $919,250
'3.Allocation of Miscellaneous Non-Tax Revenues $808,988
4. 1/10 Mill statutory Building Fund appropriation $538,684
5. Federal Revenue Sharing (Children's Village - Phase II) $2,800,000
DEPARTMENTAL EXPENDITURES
Only two changes in departmental expenditures are reflected in your Committee recommendations
from the Auditor's original October 5th recommendations, both of which have since been recommended by
the Auditors.
In light of improved revenue expectations, (1) $62,800 has been added to Facilities and
Operations - Maintenance and Operations budget to provide previously excluded preventative maintenance
items for care of County Land and Buildings; (2) $66,000 has been added to the Sheriff's budget to
provide for the new Snowmobile Program, (a $5,000 program offset by $3,750 revenues from grants) and
$61,000 for necessary custodial services at the new Law Enforcement - Jail Complex.
CONCLUSIONS
Your Finance Committee believes the estimates herein are realistic and the expenditures
recommended provide as equitable and efficient distribution of revenues to the many services requiring
County support as is possible within the limits of available funds.
We commend the Congress and the Executive Branch of the Federal Government, together with
the many organizations which aided to bring about the Federal Revenue Sharing Act, for providing these
additional funds by which the County can better meet today's challenges for service to the people of
our Community.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move the adoption of the above report
and approval of the 1973 Budget as submitted.
Respectfully submitted,

Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
SPECIAL RESOLUTION OF APPRECIATION IN RECOGNITION OF THE SERVICES OF DELOS HAMLIN /N FUTHERANCE OF THE
INTERESTS OF THE CITIZENS OF OAKLAND COUNTY
WHEREAS to those of his associates enjoying familiarity with his leadership and his untiring
efforts on behalf of the citizens of Oakland County for more than a quarter of a century, the conclusion
of the public service career of DELOS HAMLIN, coinciding as it does with the conclusion of the 1971-72
term of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, becomes one of the most significant circumstances
OF the latter event; and
WHEREAS Mr. Hamlin's capable representation of his Farmington community has been in a
relatively passive role since the organization of the new Board of Commissioners in January, 1969,
his preceding 27 years of continuous service as a member of the predecessor Board of Supervisors,
352
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 21, 1972
including service as its Chairman for the last 13 consecutive years, is without parallel in the
history of the countn and
WHEREAS his foresight, persistent and well directed efforts, in cooperation with those of
other city and county leaders of Oakland County, Wayne County, the City Of Detroit and State Legislators,
brought about the enactment of Public Act 185 of 1957, as the widespread installation of water and
waste conveyance and delivery systems throughout Oakland County from that date to the present time;
and
WHEREAS the comfort, convenience and public health standards which Oakland County now enjoys,
together with the growth of its population, culture, wealth and resources, could not have been attained
without such productive efforts; and
WHEREAS the period of his leadership was characterized by a record which brought national
recognition to Oakland County for its fiscal and legislative Integrity and responsibility with
inestimable value to the present and successor governments of the county and to the citizens of Oakland
County,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that in recording its awareness of these and other acts of •
unselfish contribution and achievement, this Oakland County Board of Commissioners goes on record in
expressing its gratitute and appreciation, and that of the people of the County of Oakland, to DELOS
HAMLIN at the time of his retirement from public service and extends to him and his lovely wife,
Mildred, its most cordial good wishes for continuing good health and happiness.
