Pursuant to Rule XII-G of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed the above referenced resolution and finds:
1. The Oakland County Facilities Maintenance & Operations Department employs four (4) Boiler Operators trained in the operation of boilers to provide heat/air to the majority of County
Buildings. 2. Of the four (4) available positions, two are currently vacant and two are currently filled by Full

4. The Human Resources Department conducted a local salary survey of similar positions and it revealed that the current pay scale is significantly lower than market average.
5. The Human Resources Department is recommending an increase to the salary range for the Boiler Operator classification in order to make it more competitive in the labor market and remove
the classification of Boiler Operator, Over-Time Non-Exempt, from the Salary Administration Plan. 6. The cost for the salary and fringe increase of four (4) FTE Boiler Operator positions in the
Facilities Maintenance & Operations Fund is $10,993 for the remainder of FY 2014; $47,062 for FY 2015; $55,840 for FY 2016; and $61,732 for FY 2017.

*MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #14114 BY: Human Resources Committee, John Scott, Chairperson IN RE: HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT – RESOLUTION EXEMPTING OAKLAND COUNTY GOVERNMENT FROM THE PROVISIONS OF PA 152 OF 2011 FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2015
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS PA 152 of 2011, the "Publically Funded Health Insurance Contribution Act" was enacted by the State of Michigan and given immediate effect on September 27, 2011; and
WHEREAS PA 152 sets forth various options that public employers may follow when providing healthcare benefits to their eligible employees; and
WHEREAS acting pursuant to specific provisions of Act 152, Oakland County government exercised its legal right to exempt itself from the Act for calendar year 2014; and
WHEREAS the exemption was adopted in order to avoid the expense of conducting delayed open enrollment processes and to allow 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 the County Executive recommends that Oakland County again formally exercise its legal right
to exempt itself from the Act for calendar year 2015; and WHEREAS Oakland County has a long history of proactive budget practices that have resulted in
budgets that are balanced and fiscally sound, as demonstrated by decades of actual performance and our AAA Bond rating; and
WHEREAS the structure of Act 152 makes acceptance of the cap formula for self-insured plans before the FY 2015 budget is adopted effectively impossible, for the reason that the State of Michigan Treasurer
is not required under the Act to adjust the maximum payment permitted under Section 3 of Act 152 for each coverage category for medical benefit plan coverage years until October 1 of each year; and
WHEREAS Act 152's October 1 date to adjust the maximum payment permitted is simply too late under the budget process mandated by Section 8 of 1973 P.A. 139, MCL 45.558(1) (d), which requires the
County Executive to submit a proposed budget to the Board of Commissioners "...not less than 90 days prior to the next succeeding fiscal year", (i.e., by July 3, 2014), a date 90 days before the October 1
commencement of the next succeeding fiscal year; and WHEREAS the County’s self-funded medical costs for this year are below the State determined Cap
levels for 2014, thus meeting the spirit of the legislation; and WHEREAS the County will look at its actual medical costs in 2015 to determine if a contribution increase
is needed for 2016 and recommend changes in employee contributions if needed at that time; and WHEREAS the County Executive Recommended Triennial Budget for Fiscal Years 2015 - 2017 is
balanced, maintains responsible general fund equity balances, and funds employee medical benefit plans within existing revenues.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that pursuant to the authority granted a county under Section 8 of Public Act 152 of 2011, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby exempts Oakland County
from the requirements of PA 152 for calendar year 2015. Chairperson, on behalf of the Human Resources Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing
resolution. HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE

*MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #14115
BY: Human Resources Committee, John Scott, Chairperson IN RE: HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT – OPEN ENROLLMENT MODIFICATIONS FOR 2015
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Federal Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA) contains a multitude of requirements with various effective dates ranging from 2010 through 2018; and
WHEREAS the County has been steadfast in monitoring, researching and implementing the provisions of the ACA as required by law; and
228
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 15, 2014
WHEREAS for large employer self-funded medical plans such as Oakland County’s, the ACA requires that beginning in 2015 employee out-of-pocket maximums for medical, dental, prescription and vision
coverage be combined and coordinated between insurance carriers; and WHEREAS beginning in 2015 out-of-pocket maximums will be limited to $6,600 for single coverage and
$13,200 for two person or family coverage; and WHEREAS dental and vision plans can be considered excepted from this requirement if employees have
the option of opting out of coverage; and WHEREAS our Dental coverage is already “excepted” because employees have the ability to opt-out of
dental coverage; and WHEREAS in order for the County’s Vision coverage to be “excepted” from this ACA requirement it must
also have the same option for employees to be able to opt-out if they so desire; and WHEREAS the County Executive recommends that the Board of Commissioners approve the option of
allowing employees to opt-out of vision coverage if they so choose; and WHEREAS the other change the County Executive is recommending for 2015 Open Enrollment is to
require employees that have dependents on the County’s medical plans to confirm each year during Open Enrollment whether or not their dependents (spouse and/or children) are still eligible for coverage;
and WHEREAS the County recently conducted a Dependent Eligibility Verification audit; and
WHEREAS the audit garnered the desired results of validating eligible dependents and removing non-verified dependents; and
WHEREAS by requiring a proactive confirmation of dependents, we hope to alleviate the need to conduct an annual audit; and
WHEREAS this will require that employees log into the Open Enrollment website and check a box confirming eligibility or indicating changes in status that would result in removal from coverage; and
WHEREAS failure to confirm eligibility will result in the removal of such dependents from coverage, but will not change any other benefit elections; and
WHEREAS confirmation statements will be sent to employees indicating continued eligibility or removal of dependents; and
WHEREAS employees will be offered a final chance to confirm eligibility during the appeal period prior to the changes going into effect with the new plan year in January; and
WHEREAS individuals removed from coverage will be offered the option of continuing coverage at their own expense through COBRA.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners authorizes, effective January 1, 2015, the option for employees to opt out of Vision coverage if they wish to do so.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that there will be no monetary incentive to opt out of vision coverage. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that employees who have dependents on the County’s medical plans will
be required to attest to their continued eligibility in order for the dependents to remain on the plan each year.

Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS the Water Resources Commissioner (WRC) has applied for and been awarded funding for the

“BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners directs the Oakland County legislative lobbyists to work with the Oakland County delegation to the Michigan legislature to

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #14086
BY: Commissioner Nancy Quarles, District #17 and Mike Bosnic, District #16 RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT FOR LEGISLATION GRANTING PROPERTY TAX
RELIEF FOR BUSINESSES IMPACTED BY SEVERLY DETERIORATED ROADS To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS the Michigan Transportation Asset Management Council reports that 25.4% of paved roads in
Oakland County are rated “poor” or worse; and WHEREAS Michigan’s road system is chronically underfunded and poor roads are an indication of a need
to invest in infrastructure, but conditions have worsened for some areas to the point where people can no longer wait for action; and
WHEREAS conditions on some local roads have deteriorated so severely, motorists are now reluctant to use the road with the resulting losses of the economic and social benefits the road confers; and
WHEREAS severely deteriorated roads are putting an undue burden on already struggling businesses and are often located in communities already dealing with economic challenges; and
WHEREAS in 2010, a proposal was made jointly by Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson, the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce and members of the state legislature for legislation to provide
property tax relief for businesses affected by long term road construction; and WHEREAS similar to the situation in 2010, businesses in Oakland County are suffering significant
decreased sales due to road conditions and property tax relief is greatly needed; and WHEREAS severely deteriorated road conditions likely will require a long construction process and
property tax relief should include consideration for the losses suffered by businesses during this time; and WHEREAS legislative action is needed now to help struggling businesspeople with decreased sales cope
with the failure of government officials to properly maintain the roadways. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners calls upon
Governor Snyder and members of the Michigan legislature to propose and adopt on an expedited schedule property tax relief for business owners along severely deteriorated roadways, appropriate to the
level of decreased sales and length of delays caused by the conditions/repairs. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward
copies of this adopted resolution to Governor Rick Snyder. the Oakland County delegation to the Michigan Legislature, the Michigan Association of Counties; the Road Commission of Oakland County;
the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce; the City of Southfield and the Oakland County legislative
lobbyists.
