Misc. 3569
By Mr. Stamen
IN RE: REPORT OF SALARY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE YEAR 1960
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors
Oakland County, Michigan
MT. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Your Board of Auditors and Salaries Committee herewith submit, for the consideration of your Honorable
Body, their recommended salary budget for the year 1960.
Act No. 275 of Public Acts of 1913, as amended (NSA 5.551) provides that the Board of Auditors shall
recommend to the Board of Supervisors the number of deputies, clerks, assistants and other help necessary in
the various county offices, also to recommend the compensation to be paid such employees, when not otherwise
provided by law.
To keep provisions of said act operative yet eliminate duplication of effort which would result from
having the Auditors' report referred back to the Salaries Committee, a policy was established in the year 1951
whereby the Board of Auditors and the Salaries Committee, through mutual cooperation, would submit a salary
report which should be construed as a joint report of both the Board of Auditors and the Salaries Committee,
except for the following instances:
THE PROPOSED SALARIES FOR THE FOLLOWING NAMED CROUP ARE SOLELY THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF YOUR
SALARIES COMMITTEE AND IN NO WAY SHOULD SUCH RECOMMENDATIONS BE CONSTRUED AS PART OF THE
JOINT REPORT OF BOTH THE SALARIES COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD OF AUDITORS.
1. Recommended salaries for officials who will receive appointments to fill statutory offices for a
definite term prescribed by law commencing on January 1, 1960.
NOTE: State statutes provides that the salaries of these officials cannot be increased or decreased
during the term of office to which they have been appointed.
2. Recommended salary adjustments for officials whose terms of office are not limited to a definite
term of years and when such adjustments are permitted by law.
An abstract of positions and recommended salaries has been prepared and copies distributed to members
of this Board. A copy of said abstract has also been placed on file in the office of the County Clerk-Register
for use and information of the general public.
Following the same procedures as used in the previous years, we have omitted from the official reso-
lution all individual salaries except the salaries for the Statutory offices where new terms of office will
commence on January 1, 1960.
Your Salaries Committee's salary recommendations for such offices are listed as follows:
APPOINTIVE OFFICES
1 MEMBER OF BOARD OF AUDITORS: (Present incumbent serving as Vice-Chairman). Three year term -
January 1, 1960 to December 31, 1962. Recommended annual salary $12,000.
1 MEMBER OF SOCIAL WELFARE BOARD: (Present incumbent serving as Chairman). Three year term -
January 1, 1960 to December 31, 1962. Recommended annual salary $10,500.
REAFFIRMATION OF APPOINTMENT
BOARD RULE XX OF BY-LAWS
Resolution adopted October 13, 1958
CORPORATION COUNSEL: Recommended annual salary $13,000.
CIVIL DEFENSE DIRECTOR: Recommended annual salary $7,300.
DOG WARDEN: Recommended annual salary $7,500, provided the appointee is a Registered Veterinarian.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION ONLY, WE ARE SUBMITTING THE FOLLOWING LIST OF OFFICES TO BE FILLED BY APPOINTMENT
AT THIS SESSION OF THE BOARD, THE SALARIES FOR WHICH, IF ANY, ARE SET BY STATE STATUTE AND, THEREFORE,
NOT SUBJECT TO ADJUSTMENT BY THIS BOARD.
APPOINTIVE OFFICES
COMPENSATION, IF ANY, SET BY STATUTE
1 MEMBER OF BOARD OF TRUSTEES, TUBERCULOSIS SANATORIUM: Three year term - January 1, 1960 to December
31, 1962. No compensation allowable by statute. Actual, reasonable and necessary expenses allowable. (4.S.A.
14.1100).
1 MEMBER OF COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH: Five year term - January 1, 1960 to December 31, 1964. No com-
pensation allowable by statute. (4.S.A. 14.161)
2 MEMBERS OF DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS' AFFAIRS: 1 Member for three year term - January 1, 1960 to
December 31, 1962. 1 member to fill the unexpired term of the late Howard K. Kelley, Mr. Kelley's term would
have expired on December 31, 1961. Same rate of per diem and mileage as allowed to members of the Board of
Supervisors. (M.S.A. 4.1153 (3)).
4 MEMBERS OF COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION: Three year term - January 1, 1960 to December 31, 1962. No
compensation allowable by statute. Actual, reasonable and necessary expenses allowable. (4.S.A. 5.1192 (2)).
3 MEMBERS OF COUNTY BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS: 2 members for three year term - January 1, 1960 to December
31, 1962. 1 member to fill unexpired term of Clayton G. Lilly. Date of expiration of term is December 31, 1961.
Same rate of per diem and mileage as allowed to members of the Board of Supervisors. (M.S.A. 5.570 (2)).
EMPLOYEES' SALARIES
SALARY ADJUSTMENTS:
The Board of Auditors, through its Personnel Division, conducted its annual review of salaries paid
by the various municipalities, industry and other types of employment in this area and compared the salary rates
now paid by the county for similar positions.
The survey reveals that our present salary rates for professional, semi-professional, skilled and key
personnel are, in many instances, below the current rates now paid by the agencies and business concerns included
in the survey and because of the salary differential it has caused problems in the recruitment of some types of
specialized personnel..
Onthe other hand, our present rates for intermediate and lower classifications are not too far out of
line and will require only minimum adjustments to bring such rates to a. figure which will enable the county to
compete with other agencies in its recruitment program.
The situations, as outlined above, makes it unwise and impracticable to recommend a flat rate increase
or an across-the-board percentage increase. Instead, each position and classification was reviewed and a, variable
amount of increase was added to our present rates which will, in our opinion, produce an equitable salary schedule
for the year 1960. The total cost of these salary adjustments is $223,203.

Supervisors Minutes Continued. September 21, 1959
For the past several years the employees on the 11:00 P. M. to 7:00 A. M. shifts of the Tuberculosis
Sanatorium and the Medical Care Facility have received an added amount. of $130.00 per year as extra compensation,
a general practice in other hospitals and institutions in this area. The Management Of both the Tuberculosis
Sanatorium and the Medical Care Facility now request that employees on the 3:00 P. M. to 11:00 P. M. shift receive
the same treatment, this again being in keeping with the general practice in other area hospitals and. institutions.
To comply with this request would involve a total expenditure of $5,720 ($3,120 at the Medical Care Facility and
$2,600 at the Tuberculosis Sanatorium) and would affect 44 present employees. These amounts are included in the
salaries budget recommendations of these institutions,
RECOMMENDED NEW POSITIONS FOR YEAR 1960
At the time the 1960 Tentative Salary Budget was being prepared for submission to the Board of Super-
visors in April of this year, the department heads asked for a total of 69 new positions.
As you will note in Miscellaneous Resolution No. 3505 presented to your Honorable Body on April 14,
1959, your Salaries Committee and Board of Auditors recommended that the number of new positions be reduced to
a total of 37.
During our recent interviews with the various departments in connection with the preparation of this
report, we again reviewed the new position requests in the light of actual needs to maintain efficiency in county
government and the county's ability to finance the cost involved because of reduction in allocated millage. Many
of the requested new positions which could not be included this year appeared to be desirable and necessary to
the future growth of our county's government, but it was not economically feasible to initiate such expansion at
this time.
As a result of our interviews, we now recommend that the total number of new employees for the year
1960 be reduced to the following ten:
Sheriff's Office - 7 Patrolmen at $5000 each - $35,000
Juvenile Court - 1 Child Welfare Worker I - 4,900
- 1 Psychiatriatic Social Worker 5,500
Relief Administration - 1 Pharmacist (part-time) = 3,120
Total $48,520
The Patrolmen are recommended with the understanding that, effective January 1, 1960, the work sheet
for the employees of the Sheriff's Office shall be based on a 40 hour week rather than the present 48 hour week.
The Child Welfare Worker is recommended because one additional employee of this category is necessary
to come within the formula to obtain matching funds from the State of Michigan under the Foster Care Act, (M.S.A.
16.418 (2)) In 1959, $211,965 was received by the County under this act.
The Psychiatriatic Social Worker is recommended because the present one employee in this class cannot
handle all of the cases which should be investigated by an employee with this training and experience. As a
result, the work of the psychological clinic of the Juvenile Court is delayed, cases are delayed in getting to
Juvenile Court and in many- cases, the children in question must be kept in the Children's Home during this delay.
The Pharmacist is recommended as a. half time position to work in Royal Oak, filling the prescriptions
of welfare clients in the southern portion of the county. The Social Welfare Department can effect a considerable
savings in the filling of prescriptions of welfare clients if this work can be done by the county. Under law,
this work must be done by a Registered Pharmacist. The Pharmacist at the Medical Care Facility must devote his
entire working day to running the pharmacy at that institution and this work includes filling prescriptions for
welfare clients in the northern portion of the county.
SALARIES RESERVE FUND
The salaries portion of each budget since 1955 has had the money budgeted for new positions and
emergency or temporary help appropriated into the "Salaries Reserve Fund" rather than directly into the budgets
of the departments involved. When the new positions are filled, an amount of money equal to the anticipated
cost of the position for the remainder or the budget year is transferred from the Salaries Reserve Fund into
the department's budget. Emergency situations are handled in a like manner under the supervision of the Board
of Auditors. A. quarterly report of the transactions involving emergency salaries is given to the Salaries
Committee.
This salaries budget recommendation contains a Salaries Reserve Fund of $48,520 for the ten new
positions mentioned above, $53,000 for emergency salaries and $6,000 for possible future salary adjustments for
a total Salaries Reserve Fund of $107,520. Further details of the Salaries Reserve Fund are shown on the attached
summary.
MISCELLANEOUS
We again reiterate the recommendations made in our report for the year 1959 concerning the following
and further recommend that the provisions of the same remain in full force and effect until such times as they
are amended or rescinded by your Honorable Boyd:
1. The Salaries Committee recommends that the Board of Auditors be authorized and instructed to contact
all department heads and request that they notify their employees of the office hours established by the adoption
of Miscellaneous Resolution No. 2971 which provides that the official office hours are from 8:30 A. M. to 5:00
P. M., Monday through Friday, except for those positions in certain county departments and institutions where
the salaries are based on a work week of more than 40 hours. Lunch period to be 45 minutes. (Misc. Res. 3132
as amended by Misc. Res. 3144).
2. In establishing the recommended salary rates for employees for the year 1960, we have based such
rates on the assumption that all county employees shall devote their entire time to county affairs during the
work week and hours previously established by the adoption of Miscellaneous Resolution No. 2971. Further, that
each department head be held responsible for reporting all violations of this recommended regulation if approved
by your Honorable Body. (Misc. Res. 3132).
While it may not be a prerogative of your Salaries Committee, we consider it proper to call your
attention to the following matters:
RE: COUNTY SOCIAL WELFARE BOARD:
Your Salaries Committee believes it may be feasible for your Honorable Body to give serious consider-
ation of making the County Social Welfare Board a policy-making board instead of an administrative board and
the actual operations of the Department then delegated to a Director who would serve at the pleasure of that
Board.
We recommend that this matter be referred to the Welfare Committee and the Ways and Means Committee
for study and that a report be filed by such committees at some date prior to January 1, 1960.

Supervisors Minutes Continued. September 21, 1959
RE: STUDY OF SPECIAL SERVICES:
In reviewing the operations of the various county departments, primarily concerning personnel, we
endeavored to ascertain whether any county departments were extending special services, without remuneration,
to units of local government whose operations are financed from funds received from sources outside of the
county's allocated millage.
By special services, we mean any type of service extended over and above those received by every
unit of government in the county who levies taxes to support the operations of the county government.
We wish to recommend that your Honorable Body refer this matter to some appropriate committee for
study with instructions to file a report of its findings prior to the time of the preparation of the 1961
Tentative Budget.
CONCLUSION
In order to comply with the schedule of dates for tax procedures, we have, previous to this date,
furnished the Ways and Means Committee with the amounts shown below, in order that the same could be considered
in the preparation of the budget for the year 1960 to be submitted by that Committee.
WHEREFORE on behalf of the Salaries Committee and the Board of Auditors, I offer the following
resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED that the amount of $5,432,751, which is the total sum of both the "1960 SALARY APPRO-
PRIATION" and the "1960 SALARY RESERVE FUND" as itemized below, be placed im the budget for the year 1960 to
cover the salaries of officials and employees of the following named departments:

Misc. 3570
By Mr. F. Smith
IN RE: BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING JANUARY 1, 1960 TO DECEMBER 31, 1960
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Your Ways and Means Committee herewith presents to this Board the budget for the operation of the
County for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 1960 and ending December 31, 1960 and by way of explanation
states as follows:
The report of the amounts set up by the Salaries Committee, totals of which were supplied to the
Ways and Means Committee and which you have received, have been inserted as the recommended amounts in the
1960 budget.
It has been the custom of the Ways and Means Committee in the past, in accordance with good budgetary
procedure, to place a conservative enough estimate on receipts so that in no case would the estimate be more
than was actually received.
The amounts placed after the respective departments in the budget have been arrived at by reference
to the budget recommendations of the Board of Auditors, Department Heads and Salaries Committee and consideration
has been given to past experience as well as requirements of increase in service during the fiscal year the
budget covers.
In order to give the Board of Auditors a better budgetary control of purchases of furniture and fixtures
for the several county departments, we have deleted from the departmental budgets all amounts for such purposes
and placed a single item in the 1960 budget under the heading of "CAPITAL OUTLAY AND IMPROVEMENTS" amounting to
$60,150.00 with a detailed sheet to support that amount. As it becomes necessary, in the judgment of the Auditors,
to purchase new items of furniture and fixtures, the cost of such articles will be paid from the said appropriation
of $60,150.00 and the charge reflected in the expenditures of the affected department or institution.
The appropriation for the Oakland Child Guidance Clinic is conditioned upon the vesting of satisfactory
budgetary control covering county funds in the County Board of Auditors and that all purchases from this fund be
made by requisition through the County Purchasing Department. The Committee further recommends that the Oakland
Child Guidance Clinic Board take steps to improve the administrative function of the Clinic, that further study
be made with reference to payment of fees for services by clients who are able to pay for them, and further, that
consideration be given to expediting the services, when requested by the Probate Court, for wards of the Court.
Special attention is called to the moderate Contingent Fund of 4/10ths of 1% of the total budget. Care-
ful consideration should be given to any expenditures therefrom during the ensuing year.
We again reiterate the recommendations made in the past years concerning the following policies:
We recommend the continuance of the policy to have the Board of Auditors submit quarterly reports to
all members of the Board of Supervisors and each Department Head, as outlined in previous years.
We recommend that the salaries provided for be in lieu of all fees, which fees belong to and are to be
credited to the General Fund.
Mr. Chairman, I move the adoption of the above report and approval of the 1960 budget as submitted,
