* Student positions were not budgeted separate from regular budgeted positions.
** More was used than budgeted. However, only the budgeted amount was transferred from Emergency Salaries. The balance was paid from unspent
Salaries Budgets of the Departments involved. For 1967, '68, '69 and '70 this amount also includes a large program for the employment of
Student help during the summer time.
*** Not budgeted in previous years. Overtime was paid from unspent salaries resulting from turnover, vacant positions, etc.
1971 - Total Salaries Budget (B) includes $139,200 for 58 Student Positions.
NOTE: Budgeted position totals may not compare from year to year due to changes in budgeting techniques relative to the treatment of budgeted
positions and positions paid from other sources.
ALSO - The amount of Contingency Adjustment (Q) shown for 1970 does not reflect an amendment of 8391,659 additional Salary Adjustments
resulting from negotiated labor agreements finalized after the approval of the 1970 Budget.

REASONS FOR SALARY ADJUSTMENTS
From October 1969 to October 1970 the cost-of-living index in the Detroit metropolitan areas
has risen 7.9 points based on the base period of 1957-1959 to an index of 137.1. This is an increase of
6.1% from October a year ago, The automotive labor settlements which took the lid off automatic cost-of-
living increases and gave sizable wage increases, are likely to contribute toward a continued increase in
the cost of living in this area. Most major governmental employers in Michigan, and especially in south-
eastern Michigan, have given or are in the process of giving salary increases which in many cases exceed
10'4. The County's annual salary survey, which this year covered 141 classifications and 54 employers,
show very few classes for which Oakland County pays outstandingly high salaries and numerous classes for
which it pays salaries which are noticeably low.

Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 17, 1970
REASONS FOR A 5% ADJUSTMENT
While it is true that the cost-of-living has increased over 6% and some other governmental
employers are giving larger salary adjustments this year, the sizable salary adjustments granted a year
ago and the effect of the nation's economy on the County's labor market have combined to make 1970 one
of the County's most successful years in terms of recruiting and retaining good quality, qualified
employees. A careful review of the County's salaries in relation to competitive rates, in relation to
the expected labor market, in relation to the County's fringe benefit programs and in relation to the
County's reputation as a stable employer with outstanding programs, leads your Board of Auditors and
your Committee to believe that the 5% adjustment recommended for most classifications is both fair and
equitable to the employees involved and satisfactory to assure that the County's recruiting and retention
of quality employees will continue at a level that will assure the continuation of outstanding service
to the County's taxpayers and clients.
REASONS FOR ADJUSTMENTS ABOVE THE 5% FORMULA
Twenty seven classifications, applying to 24 budgeted positions and 6 positions paid from other
sources are recommended for salary adjustments larger than 5%. The total budgeted cost of these adjust-
ments is $43,050. If these classifications had been given adjustments at the 5% formula the cost would
have been $20,390. The cost of the raises above 5% being $23,115. Of the 27 classifications, twelve
are attorney classifications. Ten of these classes are employed in the Prosecutor's Office and two are
employed by the Corporation Counsel. The salary ranges for the two lowest level attorney classifications
have been successful in recruiting good beginning attorneys and are among those recommended for 5%
increases, however the salaries of higher level classifications have allowed a high turnover in the
specialized and leadership positions of the Prosecutor's Office. In an attempt at longer retention of
experienced leadership in the Prosecutor's Office and in an attempt to hold the well qualified Senior
Assistant Corporation Counsels, upon whom the County has become increasingly dependent, salary adjustments
of 10% have been recommended for these classifications.
The 9.1% increase for the Director of Health was recommended to make a meaningful differential
of $2,925 between he and the highest paid person he supervises. This differential has been $1,500.
This adjustment also is in recognition of the scarcity of physicians with the additional degree in Public
Health and of the large number of Public Health Departments now without Directors.
The increase of $3,075 recommended for the Chief Pathologist is another case of facing the
realities of the cost and value of the position and the County's good fortune in having the services of
an experienced physician who is nationally recognized as one of the leaders in his profession.
The position of Drug Abuse Program Director was set at a flat rate salary, equal to the base
rate of the salary range for the Auditor's Division Heads, when it was established in May of 1970. The
announced intention at the time was to put the position on a per with these Division Heads if the program
developed as expected, and the recommended salary range carries out this intention. The incumbent would
receive a regular 5% raise effective January 1, 1971 and would go to the one year step the pay period
nearest the completion of his first year on the job.
The adjustment of 9.4% for the Director of Animal Welfare resulted from an attempt to fully
recognize the complexities of the position as both a Department Head and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine,
• developing and carrying out both medical and control programs. It is felt that in the past this position
has been paid less than many positions of less ultimate responsibility and requiring less training.
The Director of Veterans' Services and his Assistant haVe been recommended for adjustments of
6.5% and 7.7% because as the result of a misunderstanding, a year ago they received two of the lowest
raises in the 1970 Salary Adjustment package.
The adjustments for the Assistant Director of Juvenile Services is 5.7% to cover payment for
the inconvenience of certain on-call features of his position for which he will not be compensated by
the payment of overtime. The Chief Probation Officer's adjustment is in recognition for increased
responsibilities placed on the job as are the adjustments for the position of Director of Reimbursement
and Manager of Record Retention, Printing and Property where the County has drastically upgraded its
printing operations.
The Health Department's Alcoholism Program Director position originally had its salary set on
an experimental basis until the program started functioning and started putting the available State funds
to work, it is felt that the program is sufficiently under way to recommend that the Director be paid
a salary equal to that of other County classifications for which his training of a Masters Degree in
Social Work would entitle him.
The recommended salary for Supervisor of Juvenile Court Legal Processes and Clerical Services,
which is a new classification, establishes it on the same level as comparable positions in the Probate
Court. Even with its incree of $1,500, the salary for Chief Security Guard is still S1,500 below the
1970 salary for a Patrolman or Jail Guard in the Sheriff's Department and the incumbent, deputized as
a Sheriff's deputy, has command responsibilities. The adjustment for Laundry Manager put the salary on
a par with like level positions in the County's salary structure and the salary for Director of Public
Works is set independently by the County's Board of Public Works,
REASONS FOR THE METHOD OF THE 5% ADJUSTMENT
The method of applying the 5% adjustment so that all persons in a classification receive the
same amount of money as a raise is in keeping with the way the County has administered its salary
adjustments for at least the past fifteen years. From an administrative standpoint it has a number of
advantages of simplicity in dealing with employees, with department heads, with the payroll division
and with the labor union groups with which the County carries on collective bargaining. The County is
dealing with 2,168 employees, with 537 different job classifications, with some 34 departments, with six
bargaining units and has much of its personnel record keeping done by the County's computer which utilizes
Commissioners Minutes Continued, December 17, 1970 615
the same personnel data for many different functions including maintaining a master personnel file,
preparing and costing salary recommendations, computing and printing the salaries portion of the
budget, computing and printing the County's salary schedule, making monthly salaries budget projections,
computing and printing first of the year salary forms for employees, department heads and the payroll
division, automatically preparing notices of merit increase and rate of longevity payment changes,
maintaining overtime records and printing the overtime report, maintaining and printing the attendance
report and preparing a monthly activity report.
Admittedly the County could change its method of applying a salary adjustment to one which
would grant a direct percentage increase to each salary step of each classification but it would
greatly hinder the County's collective bargaining on salaries in which offers and counter offers are
often made in amounts as low as ten dollars per year and sometimes in cents and fractions of cents per
hour. It would result in a much larger number of specific amounts of salary raise to administer, would
considerably increase the areas of explanation and possible confusion in the County's relations with
its employees and considering the number of uses to which the rate information is put, would create a
considerable amount of adjustment of methods.
SALARIES OF EMPLOYEES IN BARGAINING UNITS
The County's negotiating team is currently engaged in collective bargaining with Council 23,
American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, A.F.L.-C.1.O., which represents approx-
imately 600 employees of the Sheriff, the Probate Court, the Department of Facilities Operations, and
the Animal Welfare Department.
Because these negotiations have not as yet been completed, no salary adjustments for these
employees have been included in this salaries recommendation. In addition salary adjustments for
another 29 employees whose classifications are directly related to the bargaining unit employees have
not been Included.
REASONS FOR NOT RECOMMENDING SALARY ADJUSTMENTS FOR CERTAIN OTHER CLASSES
For the most part the remaining 34 classifications which did not receive salary adjustments in
this recommendation are part-time in nature, such as student positions, likewise at the time this is
being prepared the County Commissioners, Commissioner-Chairman and Commissioner-Vice-Chairman are in-
cluded in this category.
CONTINGENCY ADJUSTMENT
An amount of $165,880 for Contingency Adjustments is included in this recommendation for
possible future use in establishing 1971 salary rates for classifications which have not received
salary adjustments in this recommendation or for other uses relative to the salaries portion of the
budget.
STUDENT POSITIONS
These are positions filled with students from formal high school Co-Op Training Programs
and other available students. The students go to school for half a day and work for half a day, gen-
erally during their senior year. Currently the County pays students $1.75 per hour during the first
semester and $2.00 per hour during their second semester. Such students usually also work full time
during the summer months. For those in formal Co-Op programs, the County department files a report
on the student's work progress with the school. Besides getting excellent help at a comparatively
low cost, the hiring of students has provided an excellent recruiting base, especially in the clerical
areas. The 1970 Budget included 37 such positions and this budget recommendation includes 58 among
the previously approved positions as the Board of Commissioners granted immediate effect to the Student
Positions requested for 1971 so that they might be recruited from the high school classes in the fall
of 1970. The summary sheet shows the distribution of these new positions among the various County
departments.
SUMMER EMPLOYMENT
Oakland County has traditionally hired college and high school students to perform a variety
of routine work 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. Placing these funds for Summer Employment in the Salaries Reserve Fund, as in the
case of other Auditor coordinated programs, allows the Personnel Practices Committee to oversee summer
employment.
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 train-
ing activities, which have become more important as the County seeks to upgrade present employees in-
stead of competing in the market for the hard-to-get specialists and technicians. Some of the training
involves sending employees to seminars and workshops, some involves bringing instructors to groups of
employees and tuition reimbursement involves reimbursing the employee for the tuition he has already
paid. The reimbursement is made only for courses approved by the employee's department head and the
Personnel Division as being useful to the employee's present and future County employment and reimburse-
ment is made after the employee has successfully completed the course. The $20,000 is the same amount
budgeted for 1970.
PERSONNEL TURNOVER ADJUSTMENT
Because the salaries budget estimate is based on the persons employed by the County in the late
summer or fall of the year prior to the year of the budget and because a certain amount of turnover of
personnel results in positions budgeted at the high end of their ranges eventually being filled by
employees paid at beginning salary steps, the estimate is higher than the actual expenditures for most
616
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 17, 1970
departments and always has been higher for the overall salaries budget.
To make the salaries budget more realistic, the estimate is reduced by an estimate of the
amount of turnover savings. This estimate, called the PERSONNEL TURNOVER ADJUSTMENT, has varied from
$100,000 to $300,000 for the past several years.
For 1971, it is recommended that the Personnel Turnover Adjustment be set at $600,000. This
increase is based on both the County's experience in 1969 and 1970 in which the salaries budget surplus
has been over $700,000 and the fact that summer employment, which has been paid from this surplus in
the past, is budgeted for in the 1971 Salaries Budget Recommendation.
EMERGENCY SALARIES
"Emergency Salaries" amounts are granted to certain departments to cope with fluctuating case
loads, 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. Often the use of "Emergency 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 be used.

OVERTIME RESERVE
The creation of the Overtime Reserve, of $380,000, within the Salaries Reserve Fund allows funds
to be budgeted for the payment of overtime without committing the funds to particular departments. Over-
time 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 employees. The overtime paid from this
account includes conventional overtime, premium pay for legal holidays worked and off-duty court appearance
time for Sheriff's personnel. For 1970, $303,000 was budgeted for this purpose and the following chart
shows the overtime paid for 1970 through August 7th.

619 Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 17, 1970
Misc. 5556
By Mr. Houghten
IN RE: FINAL ANNUAL BUDGET 1971
To the Honorable Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Oakland County Board of Auditors, on October 12, 1970, as required by State law, presented
their 1971 Budget recommendations to this Board of Commissioners. Your Finance Committee, after careful
review of these recommendations, together with those of the Personnel Practices Committee, and after
extensive hearings with the reflective County Department Heads and other agencies requesting funds, now
present their recommended budget for the operation of the County for the fiscal year beginning January 1,
1971, and ending December 31, 1971, in the amount of $35,675,691.
Included in this amount is the sum of $15,442,685 covering the recommendations of the Personnel
Practices Committee as presented to this Committee at their meeting of December 8, 1970. The Finance
Committee has referred this portion of the budget back to the Personnel Practices Committee for further
consideration and serve notice that either or both committees may offer amendments relating to this matter
at the December 17 Board meeting.
The Finance Committee has approved and recommended adoption of the Auditors recommendations,
except as noted below:
1. The Committee recommends the reduction of the Auditors recommended allocation of Miscellaneous
Non-Tax Revenues to $1,073,402, and reduction of the recommended Building Authority payments to $913,000.
Reviews made subsequent to the time of the Auditors recommendations indicate the 1971 Building Program, as
adopted by the joint committees of the Board, can be financed with the $300,000 reduction noted.
2. The Committee recommends an increase in recommended appropriation for the County roads
matching program to $700,000 in order to better provide the funds needed for this vitally necessary program
estimated at 8.8 million dollars,
3. The Committee recommends an appropriation of $123,000 to the Southeastern Michigan Trans-
portation Authority to meet the County share of this accelerated program, with the stipulation, that no
moneys be expended for that program without the approval of the Finance Committee. This stipulation is
being made to assure that other participating agencies meet their respective commitments and that the
program continues as outlined by SEMTA.
4. The Contingent Fund has been reduced to $404,207 to provide the necessary financing noted
in item (3) above.
5. The reduction of the operating portion of the budget in the amount of $90,800 and the
corresponding increase in the salaries portion of the budget reflects the adjustment necessary to transfer
the funds covering the positions for the Sheriff's Trusty Camp from funds previously provided in the
operations portion of the Sheriff's budget.
6. Your Committee additionally notes that the $1,300,000 appropriation to the Employees Retire-
ment Fund, together with estimated receipts from other participating county agencies, appears to be
sufficient to cover the Employer Contribution, as estimated by the Actuary of $1,673,633.
7. Likewise, the difference in figures between the Auditors recommendations and the Committee's
figures under "Salaries" in the respective Departmental Budgets results from the distribution of funds
previously recommended in a "bulk" for this purpose.
In addition as Oakland County Commissioners, we need to be bold and surefooted in meeting today's
challenges with decisive and specific programs.
However, all of the growing social problems of today, poverty, disease, injustice, have also
plagued every society in the history of mankind. Oakland County has made tremendous progress in lessening
these problems, but our achievements have served to make some people completely impatient with any problem
that remains with us. This creates immense pressures for us. Public problems are not necessarily simple
government problems that can be solved with quick solutions or by money solutions.
Many of our county problems must be shared with State and Federal government, city, township
government, educational units, labor, and business. We must involve and improve our communications skills.
We had better make up our minds that all our social ills cannot be solved single handed. It is
our job to set specific priorities, objectives and services to establish a leadership role to involve all.
The 1971 budgeted income is based on two major sources. First the property tax. Our County
share is 5.16 mills which equals $24,453,191.00 and is based on the state equalized valuation for Oakland
County at $4,739,990,509. Secondly, is the non-tax revenues of approximately 812,000,000.00. This is
made up of tax revenues other than property tax, charges for services, Federal and State subsidies,
interest and rent income, permits and license, and miscellaneous income. The revenues are all itemized
on page five and a diagram showing percentages and comparisons are directly opposite.
The 5.16 mills for each of the 1970 and 1971 budgets is the smallest allocated millage since
1958 for Oakland Couny. I think it also is important to mention that again in 1971 as in 1970, there
is no millage spread outside of the allocated millage.
In our current 1970 budget we were able to absorb increased costs, expand programs and initiate
new programs mainly because the non-tax revenues were considerably higher than anticipated and budgeted.
However, in 1971 I predict we will not have this luxury. The budgeted non-tax revenues have
already been increased to reflect the additional state income tax revenue due to our new 1970 census
figures and the increase in additional Federal and State subsidies and other added projected income.
The expenditures as outlined on page six are grouped to show functional comparisons. The chart
on the opposite page shows the percentages for each particular function. Also the budget clearly reflects
each departments function and responsibilities and in many departments it outlines vital statistics
showing in detail a breakdown of its specific work.
Also, I would like to bring to your attention some increases in specific programs in the 1971
Budget.

Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 17, 1970
In the care of mentally 111, the budget has been increased $388,078. Current drains, which
Is the responsibility of the County to pay the obligations for drainage of county roads, has been increased
55,755 for 1971. Huron Clinton Authority of which this Board has no control, has increased $178,207.
.e Road Commission has been mentioned before, which has increased $300,000 over 1970. The Circuit Court
for court appointed defense will require an additional $145,000 for 1971. Drug Abuse Control, a new
program which was started in 1970 from the Contingency Fund, is now a permanent department and is being
funded an additional $179,000 over the expenditures for 1970. The Child Care Programs of Juvenile
Division of the Probate Court is requiring an additional $298,043. The largest single increase for 1971
is General Relief. To properly fund the item for 1971 requires $536,000 more than the 1970 General
Relief Budget.
I would draw your attention to the fact, there are no funds budgeted for Oakland-Orion Airport
and only $240,000 in the Capital Budget for capital improvement at Oakland-Pontiac Airport.
In conclusion, I believe this 1971 budget is realistic and in the best interest of the citizenry
of Oakland County. In the judgment of your Committee, the recommendations of the Auditors made October 12,
1970, as above modified by this Committee, present a properly balanced budget for the best operations of
the County within the limits of funds available.
Mr. Chairman, I move the adoption of the above report and approval of the 1971- Budget as submitted.

629 Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 17, 1970.
to the making of which its full faith and credit is hereby pledged, and secondarily, if approved by a
three-fifths (3/5ths) majority of the members elect of the Board of Commissioners, by the full faith
and credit of the County of Oakland.
(c) After the Board of Commissioners of Oakland County has adopted the bond resolution, the
board will take all necessary procedures to obtain the approvals necessary to the issuance of the bonds
by the Municipal Finance Commission of the State of Michigan, obtain construction bids for the project
and enter into construction contracts with the lowest responsible bidders, and sell and deliver the bonds
in the manner authorized by taw.
(d) After the issuance of said bonds and the execution of construction contracts, the board
shall cause the project to be constructed within a reasonable time and do all other things required of it
under the provisions of Act No. 185 of the Public Acts of Michigan, 1957, as amended.
5. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the project is to serve the munici-
pality and not the individual property owners and users thereof, unless by special arrangement between
the board and the municipality. The responsibility of requiring connection to and use of the facilities
of the project and of providing such additional facilities, as may be needed, shall be that of the
municipality which shall cause to be constructed and maintained, directly or through the county, any such
necessary additional facilities. The county shall not be obligated to acquire or construct any facilities
other than those designated in paragraph 2 hereof. The project is an improvement, enlargement and
extension of the Milford Sewage Dispose/ System and the Base Contract shall apply thereto except as the
same may be specifically modified herein for specific application to the project, and in particular, the
provisions of paragraphs 6 and 8 of the Base Contract shall apply hereto as though set forth in full
herein.
The county hereby agrees that it will secure, or cause to be secured, and maintained during
the period of construction adequate property damage and public liability insurance covering all facilities
to be constructed pursuant to this contract. All policies of insurance shall provide that the county
and the municipality shall be insured parties thereunder and shall contain a provision requiring that the
municipality be notified at least ten days prior to cancellation hereof. One copy of each policy of
insurance shall be filed with the municipality.
6. The municipality shall pay to the county the entire cost of the project. The term "cost"
as used herein shall be construed to include all items of cost of the type set forth on Exhibit "B"
attached hereto and any other items of cost of a similar nature as may be set forth in any revision of
said Exhibit "B" agreed to by the parties hereto, incurred by the county in acquiring and constructing
the project. The cost of the project will be represented by one or more series of bonds to be issued by
the county as provided in paragraph 4 in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed the cost of the
project, or any portion thereof, as determined or estimated at the time or times of such issuance. The
municipality covenants and agrees to remit the principal and interest payments on said bonds so issued
and the paying agent fees and other charges to service said bonds (herein called "bond service charges")
as hereinafter provided, which interest payments shall be determined by applying to said principal
payments the rate or rates of interest borne by the county bonds when sold and delivered. Shown on
Exhibit "C" is the schedule of annual principal payments to be made by the municipality.
Immediately upon the issuance of said bonds by the county to finance the cost of the project or
any part thereof, the board shall notify the municipality, by written communication addressed to its
treasurer, of the schedule of payments of the principal of and interest on the bonds so issued and of
the bond service charges to be paid by the municipality. The municipality hereby covenants and agrees
not less than thirty (30) days prior to the due date of any principal of or interest on such bonds, to
remit to the county sufficient funds to pay the same along with any bond service charges then due. The
obligations herein expressed shall be applicable to all bonds issued by the county to construct and
complete the project, or any part thereof, whether issued at one time or more than one time. It is
assumed that the aggregate principal amount of all bonds issued will represent the cost of the project.
If funds are available from the municipality or any other source to pay the cost of the project or any
portion thereof, prior to the issuance of bonds, then the obligation of the municipality shall be
adjusted and limited accordingly. If the municipality shall fail to make any of such payments when due,
the amount thereof shall be subject to a penalty of one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%) for each month or
fraction thereof that the same remains unpaid after the due date. The municipality may pay in advance of
maturity all or any part of an annual installment due the county, (I) by surrendering to the county, bonds
issued hereunder of a like principal amount maturing in the same calendar year, with all future due in-
terest coupons attached thereto, or (2) by payment in cash of the principal amount of bonds to be called
plus all interest to the first day on which such amount of bonds can be called and the amount of premium
and charges necessary to call such amount of bonds on such date.
7. After completion of the project and payment of all costs thereof, any surplus remaining
from the sale of the bonds therefor shall be used to call such bonds as are callable or to purchase bonds
on the open market and in such event the contractual obligation of the municipality in respect to the
project shall be reduced by the principal amount of bonds so called or purchased, said reduction to be
applied as to year, in accordance with the year of the maturity of the bonds so called or purchased.
Any bonds so called or purchased shall be cancelled. In the alternative, said surplus may be used at the
request of the municipality and upon approval by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, to improve,
enlarge or ex tend the project.
8. If the proceeds of the sale of the original bonds to be issued by the county to finance the
project, or any part thereof, are for any reason insufficient to complete the project in accordance with
the plans and specifications therefor, the board shall, if necessary, submit to the Board of Commissioners
of Oakland County a -esolution providing for the issuance of additional bonds in an amount necessary to
provide funds to complete the project in which event the duties and obligations of the board and the
municipality as expressed and set forth in this contract shall be applicable to such additional issue of
630
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 17, 1970
bonds as well as the original issue, it being at all times fully recognized and agreed that the payments
to be made by the municipality, in the manner specified in paragraph 6 of this contract, shall be based
upon the aggregate amount of the bonds outstanding. In lieu of the issuance of such additional bonds,
any other method may be agreed upon by the county and the municipality to provide the necessary funds
to complete the project.
9. The municipality, pursuant to the authorization of paragraph (2), Section 12 of Act 185,
Public Acts of Michigan, 1957, as amended, does hereby pledge its full faith and credit for the prompt
and timely payment of its obligations expressed in this contract and shall each year, commencing with
the year prior to the year that it will first be required to make payments to the county in accordance
with the provisions of paragraph 6 of this contract, levy a tax in an amount which, taking into con-
sideration estimated delinquencies in tax collections, will be sufficient to pay its obligations under
this contract becoming due before the time of the following year's tax collections: PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that if at the time of making such annual tax levy there shall be other funds on hand earmarked and
set aside for the payment of such contractual obligations falling due prior to the next tax collection
period, then the annual tax levy may be reduced by such amount. Such other funds may be raised in the
manner provided in said paragraph (2), Section 12 of Act 185, Public Acts of Michigan, 1957, or any
amendments thereto.
10. This contract is contingent upon the county issuing its negotiable bonds as set forth in
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 4 of this contract, to defray the estimated cost of the project, or a
part of the project, which bonds shall be issued under the authorization provided in paragraph (1),
subparagraph (b), Section 11 of said Act 185, Public Acts of Michigan, 1957, as amended.
11. The municipality consents to the establishment and location of the project within its
corporate limits and consents to the use of the streets, alleys and public places of the municipality
for the location, construction, repair, replacement, maintenance and use of the sewage disposal
facilities of the project. After completion, the project shall be used for the collection of sanitary
sewage within the municipality and the transportation of said sanitary sewage to the treatment facilities
of the Milford System for ultimate disposal. Upon completion of the project the county hereby leases
the facilities constituting the project to the municipality upon the same terms and conditions as are
set forth in paragraph 13 of the Base Contract.
The municipality agrees to lease the project from the county upon said terms and conditions
and for the period of the Base Contract and agrees to pay the sum of $1.00 per year on January 1st
of each year commencing January 1, 1972, and in addition to perform its covenants and agreements set
forth in this contract and the Base Contract as a rental for said project.
12. The county and the municipality recognize that the holders from time to time of the bonds
issued by the county under the provisions of said Act 185, Public Acts of Michigan, 1957, as amended,
and secured by the full faith and credit pledge of the municipality to the making of its payments as
set forth in this contract, will have contractual rights in this contract and it is therefore covenanted
and agreed by each party that so long as any of said bonds shall remain outstanding and unpaid, the
provisions of this contract shall not be subject to any alteration or revision which would in any
manner affect either the security of the bonds or the prompt payment of principal or interest thereon.
The municipality and the county further covenant and agree that they will comply with their respective
duties and obligations under the terms of this contract promptly, at the times and in the manner herein
set forth, and will not suffer to be done any act which would in any way impair the said bonds, the
security therefor, or the prompt payment of principal and interest thereon. It is hereby declared that
the terms of this contract in as far as they pertain to the security of any such bonds, shall be deemed
to be for the benefit of the holders of said bonds.
13. This contract shall become effective upon approval by the legislative body of the munici-
pality, by the Board of Public Works of Oakland County, and by the Board of Commissioners of Oakland
County, and duly executed by the authorized officers of the municipality and of the Board of Public
Works. It shall terminate when the Base Contract terminates. This contract may be executed in several
counterparts.
The provisions of this contract shall be in full force and effect and binding upon the successors
and assigns of the parties hereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this contract to be executed and delivered
by their respective duly authorized officers, all as of the day and year first above written.

IN RE: RESOLUTION OPPOSING GRANTING OF APPLICATION TO MICHIGAN LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS TRAINING COUNCIL
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the 'Michigan Law Enforcement Officers Training Act of 1965" was originated to provide
for the creation of a law enforcement officers training council; establish a law enforcement officers
training fund and allocations therefrom to local agencies of government participating in a police training
program, and
638
Commissioners Minutes Continued, December 17, 1970
WHEREAS the Michigan Law Enforcement Officers Training Council was created to prepare and
publish advisory training standards with due consideration to varying factors and special requirements
of local police agencies; certify training methods qualifying under those standards; cooperate with
state, federal and local police agencies in establishing and conducting local or regional training
centers for Instruction and training; and certify reimbursement to local governmental agencies in an
amount not to exceed 1/2 of the salary of each police officer meeting conditions of the act, and
WHEREAS the act was amended to establish mandatory minimum employment standards including at
least 240 institutional hours of study for all officers employed after January 1, 1971, and
WHEREAS existing training agencies in Region One of Southeast Michigan can provide training for
as many as 500 police officers in the year of 1971, but the Michigan Law Enforcement Officers Training
Council grant would not serve them because of the non-supplanting provision of the federal statute; and
WHEREAS all cities in Southeast Michigan which are being served by these facilities would
receive no reimbursement for participating officers, the approval of this proaram would have an adverse
effect on the local units of governments by reducing their , allocation of state money for their training
programs, and
WHEREAS the implementation of the Michigan Law Enforcement Officers Training Council program
would seriously hamper the local units autonomy and incentive and would enforce them to rely more
heavily on continued state design and funding, and
WHEREAS Region One has designed a training system which would meet the requirements of the
recently enacted statute and would exceed those requirements by responding to the requirements of the
total criminal justice system, and the staff design was submitted to the State Planning Agency in advance
to the enactment of the mandatory training taw which forms the basis of the state program under which
funds are sought, and
WHEREAS the State did not include these Regional recommendations in its programs, even with
the advance notification and discussion with regional staff of completion and implementation of this
design so that the portion of training money provided in the state plan is not sufficient to fund the
total system design undertaken by Region One, and
WHEREAS the local unit waiver of their right to use training funds or the Law Enforcement
Assistance Administration's affirmative response to the State Planning Agency's request to allow it to
proceed outside of the waiver process, would disastrously subvert local unit competence, continued focal
unit funding, and local unit program design as established by the Region One Council;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that this Board declares its opposition to this maneuver, and
recommends to the State Planning Agency, to the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, to Michigan
Law Enforcement Officers Training Council and to the Governor, and the Senators from the State of
Michigan that:
I. The attempt to waive the local unit requirement in favor of this program be rejected.
2. That the local unit of government plans for the development of centers and institutes in
this region be implemented.
3. That the State program funding for additional Michigan Law Enforcement Officers Training
Council demands made by the mandatory training act be allocated to them for the acquisition of staff,
to provide the services which the law mandates, which are namely, accreditation, establishment of
standards, and inspection of facilities.
4. That the funds for this function be restricted to that portion allocated to the State in
accordance with the intent of the Omnibus Crime Control Act.
5. That the Congress and the State Planning Agency do everything in their power to fund the
planning efforts of the Region One Council at an adequate level; to guarantee that it can increase the
competence of the local units of governments; and to provide for the manpower development of a pro-
fessional cadre within the criminal justice system, by increasing the amount of money allocated to the
state and the regions for criminal justice planning.
6. That copies of this resolution be forwarded to the Honorable James Brickley, Chairman of the
State Crime Commission, and to the Honorable Philip Hart and Honorable Robert Griffin, United States
Senators from Michigan.
