Misc. 5208
By Mr. Grba
IN RE: BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING JANUARY 1, 1970 TO DECEMBER 3l, 1970
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Finance Committee herewith presents to the Oakland County Board of Supervisors the recommended
budget for the operation of the County For the fiscal year January 1, 1970 and ending December 31, 1970,
in the amount of S29,954,644. Included in this amount is the sum of $14,050,927 to cover the joint 1970
salaries recommendations of the Personnel Practices Committee and the Board of Auditors. The above pro-
vision for the financing of the salaries portion of the budget is not necessarily to be construed as an
endorsement by the Finance Committee of the recommendations contained therein.
The County Allocation Board again this year reduced the County allocated rate and the new 5.16
mills presented your Committee and the Auditors with the difficult task of paring back the Tentative
Budget some 2.5 million dollars. These millage reductions over the past two years have precluded the use •
of almost one million dollars of new revenues per year which normally could have been used in financing
the County's rapidly expanding needs for additional services and to meet the rising costs of present
services in today's inflationary spiral.
The 1970 receipts have been estimated on a materially higher level than in recent years with
an increase of approximately 1.4 million dollars over 1969 estimates. The reason for this increase is
two-fold; (1) increased experience with some of the newer areas in County revenues and (2) the necessity
for the highest level of receipt anticipation as to avoid further impairment of County program needs.
While these estimates are admittedly high, in the judgment of your Committee and the Auditors, they will
in the absence of unforeseen difficulties, be realized.
Your Committee, after exhaustive review and careful consideration, in order to provide in their
judgment a more balanced and flexible budget, have further reduced the Auditors recommended departmental
and non-departmental expenditures, an additional $284,075 and reallocated these monies to the contingent
fund and the County Capital Program,
The 1970 contingent fund recommendation is predicated on the need for increased budget flex-
ibility to meet as yet undetermined financing needs. Experience indicates this trend has been on the
increase in recent years.
Sufficient funds to finance the 1970 Capital needs of the County, in accordance with the
revised five year County Capital Program as recommended by the Committees of the Board, have been included
under the following categories: Building Authority payments, 1/10 statutory ml liege, and allocation of
miscellaneous non-tax revenues (see Budget details). This five year program and its substantiating -
back-up material will be presented to the Board as a separate document and, therefore, is not included
in this presentation.
$400,000 has been provided for the County roads matching program in accordance with our
recommendations presented in the 1970 Tentative Budget. Approximately one million dollars of new road
construction will be possible through this plan.
The funds provided for general relief will, in the judgment of your Committee, provide the
necessary funds to carry out all present policies of this Board and the Social Welfare Board. They,
likewise, include an improvement factor to meet the County's share of a State recommended S3.00 per
person increase in this area, together with an anticipated growth factor of 10%.
Funds for the Office of Economic Opportunity have been provided in a total of $39,325.
The recommended appropriation of $800,000 to the Oakland County Employees Retirement System,
together with reimbursed retirement benefits collected from self-financed County agencies, will provide
sufficient monies for the transfer of $1,184,302 to that fund in accordance with the funding requirements
as determined by the Retirement Actuary.
Based on our studies, the recommendations of the Board of Auditors, the recommendations of the
Personnel Practices Committee, and interviews with the various County Department heads, your Committee
believes the recommendations herein present a properly balanced Budget providing for the best operation
of the County within the limits of funds available, as qualified above.
Mr. Chairman, I move the adoption of the above report and approval of the 1970 Budget as submitted.

SALARIES PORTION OF 1970 BUDGET
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors
Your Board of Auditors and the Personnel Practices Committee recommend that the following
amounts be placed in the 1970 Budget to cover the cost of salaries:
$12,778,786 For 1492 positions which have been previously approved
587,341 For 73 new positions
86,000 For emergency salaries
88,800 For 37 Co-op student positions
300,000 For overtime reserve
20,000 For tuition reimbursement and training
190,000 For negotiated salary adjustments
$14,050,927 Total Salaries Budget
On the following pages are a summary sheet.; showing the distribution of the total salaries
amount to the various departmental budgets; a comparison with previous County budgets and explanations
of the major salaries budget items.
The larger'colored pages of the budget document show the number of positions budgeted for each
classification in each department, their 1969 and recommended 1970 salary ranges and their estimated
cost at the recommended rates.
The shorter colored pages contain descriptions of the new positions requested by each department
and show whether they have been included or declined in this budget recommendation.
With the exception of the salary rates recommended for elected and appointed officials, which
are solely the responsibility of the Personnel Practices Committee, this report is the joint recommendation
of that Committee and the Board of Auditors.
The total salaries budget represents a $7,319 increase over the tentative 1970 Budget and a
20.17%, increase over the 1969 Budget. The major reasons for this increase are the approval of 80 previously
approved positions after the approval of the 1969 Budget, but before the final Budget hearings on the 1970
Budget; the 73 new positions included in this recommendation; 6 change in the method of budgeting tuition
reimbursement and training expenses; salary adjustments totaling approximately $786,695 for non-negotiated
positions and the reserve of $190,000 for salary adjustments still being negotiated.
The recommendations included in this report were arrived at after the department heads of the
County had opportunities for hearings with the Board of Auditors alone, and later with the Personnel
Practices Committee, with the Board of Auditors in attendance. Hearings were held in the compilation of
the Tentative Budget in the spring and again during the month of August. The salary adjustments were
arrived at after studying the results of the County's annual salary survey which is described in detail
in this report.
Mr. Chairman, I move the acceptance of this report as the official recommendation of the
Personnel Practices Committee and the Board of Auditors for consideration as part of the total 1970 Budget.

SALARIES OF EMPLOYEES
The Personnel Division of the Board of Auditors conducted its annual Salary Survey during July
and August, covering 129 out of the County's 519 job classifications. The survey covered four major
private employers, twelve cities, seven Michigan Counties, nine comparable Counties elsewhere in the
County, four hospitals and five School Districts. Precise written job descriptions and personal visits
to all in-state employers were utilized to insure direct comparability between job levels. The Survey
also made comparison between fringe benefit programs.
Reflecting the County's recruiting experience during 1969, the Survey showed that County
salaries are fairly competitive for some classifications, barely competitive for some and well below
the market for others. The survey also confirmed that temporary shortages of certain types of employees
have pushed the relative salaries for some classifications well above the traditional relationships the
County has attempted to m6intain.
The Focus of modern technology on the types of work performed by government, from electronic
data processing to custodial work, has resulted in the County competing more and more for the specialized
types of employees who are in great demand. Over 30% of the County's positions are in classifications
which should be filled by persons with at least a Bachelor's Degree. Most of our other positions also
require high levels of skills, experience and training. Because of the shortage of available employees
Supervisors Minutes Continued. October 9, 1969 228
in many areas, the county must lure people from other employers, go directly to the schools to recruit
students before they graduate and train and up-grade present employees while keeping them from leaving
for higher salaries elsewhere.
In addition to this information, which suggests that the salaries for certain classifications
should be boldly adjusted in varying amounts to meet the current market, there are other indicators
calling to upward salary adjustments for all County employees, The Bureau of Labor Statistics cost-
of-living index for the Detroit area has increased from 120.6 to 128.5 from August of 1968, when the
County's present salaries were recommended, through August of 1969. Most of the cities and School
Districts in Oakland County have installed higher salary schedules since the County's current rates were
determined. The City of Pontiac, a direct competitor, made its rate changes retroactive to January 1,
1969 with a schedule that is well above the County's. The County of Washtenaw, which has one-fourth the
population arid valuation of Oakland County has eighteen of its professional and executive level
positions at leve; higher than even the recommended new rates for comparable County positions.
During the first eight months of 1969, budgeted positions were vacant a total of 16,979 employee-
days, approximately 87, of the budgeted employee-days during this period. The Sanitation Division of the
Health Department was at approximately half strength during the first half of the year, and many other
County services, which reach all segments of the County's citizenry, have also been shorthanded.
Because of these factors, a recoraliaded salary adjustment package was developed which allowed
the salaries portion of the budget to come within S7,000 of meeting the amount for salaries in the
Tentative 1970 Budget. The adjustment Fr-c!, e,.s not based on a pat formula, but on an analysis of
each of the 519 job classifications. It we- e•e .gned to reduce the number of employees leaving for
higher salaries; to increase the County's . H':_y to lure employees from other employment; to lessen
the rime critical positions will be left ur:I•if-! and the public unserved; to reduce the cost in time,
money, efficiency, and service while repiac.ant employees are trained in County methods and procedures;
to reduce advertising and recruiting expensc, and to maintain high productivity and morale by creating
and maintaining reasonable and meaningful salary differentials between employees with varying degrees
of responsibility.
The recommended 1970 salaries and the present rates are shown on the larger colored pages for
each department in the budget document. The salary adjustments range from $3,000 for five positions
requiring Physicians and four positions for which the adjustments involve putting experimental positions
into permanent categories, to $500, with three classifications under special conditions getting less
than 5500. The salaries of this recoraendation would still, with few exceptions, leave Oakland County
rates well below the highest paid in the state, and apparently, many of the competitive rates will be
adjusted upward before or shortly after new County rates become effective January 1, 1970,
Based on comparative salaries and the highly competitive employment market in which the County
finds itself, and considering that Oakland has the highest per household income of any County in the
State (S13,451), ranks among the top 1X, in County per capita wealth in the United States and ranks a
close second in the smallest amount per capita ($36.18) spent for total County government functions in
the state, the salary adjustments in this recommendation are not only less than extravagent, but are
necessary if the County is to continue to recruit and retain the skilled and qualified employees it
needs to provide and improve its services to the public, Money saved by having marginal salaries can
prove to be a very expensive economy.
NEGOTIATED SALARY ADJUSTMENTS
The County bargaining team is currently engaged in negotiations with Council 23, American
Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFL-C10, which represents 443 employees in the
Sheriff's Department, Probate Court and the Custodial Division of the Department of Facilities and
Operations.
Because these negotiations have not as yet been completed, the sum of $190,000 has been placed
in the Salaries Reserve Fund portion of this recommendation to cover future negotiated salary adjustments.
When the Board of Supervisors has approved new contracts covering these departments, the required funds
will be transferred from the Salaries Reserve Fund into the salaries budgets of these departments.
In the meantime, the amounts included in the salaries portion of the budget for these departments
are based on 1969 salary ranges.
SALARIES RESERVE FUND
Funds allocated for New Positions, Emergency Salaries, Co-Op Student Positions, Overtime Reserve,
Training and Tuition Reimbursement, and Negotiated Salary Adjustments are placed in the salaries reserve
fund and are transferred into the individual departmental salary budgets only when the approved need
develops.
The procedures involved in making the transfers into departmental budgets is explained in the
discussion of each program, but the basic premise is to provide a tighter review of such expenditures and
to prevent the use of such funds to augment departmental budgets or to be used for purposes other than
the budgeted intention,
NEW POSITIONS
The recommendation of 73 New Positions was arrived at after hearing requests from 21 departments
who requested 156 positions for the Tentative Budget and 123 for the Final Budget. The reduction from the
115 New Positions recommended in the Tentative Budget was primarily made because it was felt the funds
were more needed for salary adjustments. The requests for New Positions were, for the most part, well
documented, many being repeat requests from previous years.
The evaluations of new position needs included reviews of the necessity for the present level
of service; the ability to cope with increasing populations and caseloads; the need for higher or more
intensive levels of service; departmental abilities to house and utilize additional personnel; the
apparent level of departmental efficiency; possible alternatives to additional manpower; and the con-
sequences of not adding personnel,

sheet (Chart I). A comparison with the number of new positions granted in previous budgets is found
in Columns I, j and G of Chart II. A written description of each requested New Position is found on
the shorter colored pages of the budget document which is arranged alphabetically by departments.
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 special projects and repetitive seasonal
work. 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 to meet peak loads. 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. A monthly transfer is made from the Salaries Reserve. Fund to the depart-
mental salaries budgets, based on the amounts actually spent for this purpose. The amounts recommended
for the various departments are shown on the summary sheet and in the individual departmental colored sheets
of the budget document. Chart II, columns K & L show the amounts budgeted and used for this purpose in
the past.
CO-OP STUDENT POSITIONS
These are positions to be filled only with students from formal high school Co-Op training
programs. The students go to school for half a day and work for half a day, generally durine their
senior year. Currently the County pays Co-Op 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. The employing County department files a report on the student's work progress with the school.
Besides getting excellent help at a comparatively low cost, the Co-Op Program has provided an excellent
recruiting base, especially in the clerical areas. In the past, the County has placed Co-Op students in
vacant positions when they were available. The creation of the special Co-Op Student Positions will
formalize the program. The summary sheet shows the distribution of these positions among the various
County departments. A monthly transfer is made from the Salaries Reserve Fund to the departmental
salaries budoets, based on the amounts actually spent for this purpose.
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. Within
guidelines laid down by the Personnel Practices Committee, 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 provides a monthly accumulative account of the overtime
used, detailing it by department, employee and the amounts of time and money involved. Funds are trans-
ferred on a monthly basis from the Salaries Reserve Fund to the departmental salaries budgets involved.
TRAINING AND TUITITION REIMBURSEMENT
In the past, funds for the Tuition Reimbursement Program (approximately $3,000 per year) have
been paid from the Contingent Fund. Funds for other training activities have been placed in the
operating budgets of various departments.
Placing these funds in the Salaries Reserve Fund will allow 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 hard-to-get specialists and technicians.
