MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #11246 BY: Commissioners Michael Gingell, District #3; Dave Woodward, District #18; Bill Dwyer, District #14;
Janet Jackson, District #21 IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - RESOLUTION EXEMPTING OAKLAND COUNTY
GOVERNMENT FROM THE PROVISIONS OF 2011 P.A. 152 FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2012 To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS on September 27, 2011, 2011 P.A. 152, an act to limit a public employer’s expenditures for
employee medical benefit plans, became immediately effective; and WHEREAS previously, on September 22, 2011, Oakland County’s Triennial Budget for Fiscal Years 2012
– 2014 was adopted by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners; and WHEREAS the adopted Oakland County Triennial Budget for Fiscal Years 2012 - 2014 is balanced,
maintains responsible recommended general fund equity balances, and funds current employee medical benefit plans within existing revenues; and
WHEREAS Oakland County’s operating millage rate of 4.19% is effectively Michigan’s lowest county operating millage rate given the fact that Oakland County is the only Michigan county that has actuarially
fully funded its accrued retiree health care obligations (OPEB) within its operating millage rate; and WHEREAS Oakland County’s 2007 funding of its accrued retiree health care obligation using Certificates
of Participation will save Oakland County taxpayers an estimated $150 million over the life of the program; and
WHEREAS the residents and taxpayers of Oakland County have been well-served by the County’s consistent utilization of its nationally-recognized Triennial Budget Process, a process that uses thoughtful,
detailed planning and employs incremental changes over time to yield significant results without serious disruption in service delivery and in a manner that is fair to both taxpayers and employees; and
WHEREAS in keeping with the County’s established, long-range budgeting practices that actively balance the interests of taxpayers and county employees, Oakland County Employees have been paying
contributions toward their health care coverage since 1997, contributing over $26 million toward their health care costs; and
WHEREAS for the three major health plans currently available to Oakland County employees, for single person plans, employees already pay between 11.79% and 21.81% of the 2011 illustrative rate; and
WHEREAS significant time and expense has already been incurred relating to the execution of the calendar year 2012 annual health care selection “open enrollment” process for employees, and those
investments will be lost and taxpayers will incur significant new costs if Act 152 is required to be implemented by January 1, 2012; and
WHEREAS vigorous challenges to the legality of Act 152 are expected and the costs associated with litigation required to support the validity of Act 152 will likely be substantial; and
WHEREAS Section 8 of Act 152 authorizes a local unit of government, defined to include a county government, upon a 2/3 vote of the governing body, to exempt itself from the requirements of the act for
the next succeeding calendar year; and WHEREAS by exempting itself under Section 8 of Act 152 for calendar year 2012, Oakland County can
avoid costs of litigation, avoid the expense of conducting a new “open enrollment” selection process, and secure reasonable time to prudently employ its recognized Triennial Budget Process, allowing the County
to continue making changes over time that yield significant reductions in health care costs in a manner that is fair to both taxpayers and employees; and
WHEREAS exempting Oakland County from Act 152 for calendar year 2012 is equitable considering that Oakland County’s employees have already demonstrated by their actions a continuing willingness to fairly
share in the burden of meeting the significant economic challenges associated with Michigan’s long recession; and
WHEREAS in addition sharing the burden of health care costs by contributing over $26 million since 1997, Oakland County’s non-312 eligible employees made significant wage and salary concessions by
accepting salary reductions of 2.5% for Fiscal Year 2010, a further reduction of 1.5% for Fiscal Year 2011, by accepting a salary freeze for Fiscal Year 2012, and by supporting the Fiscal Year 2013 budget
plan that continues the 2012 salary freeze; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. October 5, 2011
558
WHEREAS Oakland County employees’ cumulative pay reductions for Fiscal Years 2010 and 2011 saved Oakland County taxpayers $14.4 million and, together with the pay freeze for Fiscal Years 2012
and 2013, will save an additional $17.6 million, for a combined total of $31.9 million in wage and salary savings; and
WHEREAS the equitable nature of a 2012 exemption for Oakland County employees is further demonstrated by the fact that the State of Michigan, as the employer of some 45,000 workers, effectively
exempted itself from the mandate of Act 152 by refusing to place the question of applying Act 152’s limitations to state workers on the ballot.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that acting pursuant to the authority granted a county under Section 8 of Act 152, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby exempts Oakland County
Government from the requirements of 2011 P.A. 152 for calendar year 2012. Chairperson, we move adoption of the foregoing Resolution.
