Supervisors Minutes Continued. January 18, 1968
Industrial Section No. 1. Such pick up amounts are shown on the EXhebits Eel, E-2 and Ea3, and as to
those amounts the city has the option of prepayment, in whole or pere, at any time at its option.
Moneys received by the county subsequent to April 1, 1967, with respect to water connections in the
annexed area shall, upon execution hereof, be turned over to the city within JO days or credited to
the obligations of the city hereunder, at its option. Said installments shall be due in consecutive

of principal and interest due on each date. The interest shown thereon computed at the rate of six
percent (6%) per annum, being the rate agreed upon between the county and the township. If the amount
of interest due in any year on unpaid inntallments, shall be collected by the county in excess of the
amount of interest which the county shall be required to pay upon its said bonds prior to the next
contract principal installment due date, then any such excess in the amount so paid after deducting
the annual fees and expenses connected with the payment of said bonds, shall be credited pro rata to
the city and township in accordance with the several amounts of interest paid by them in such year,
which credit shall be applied on the next ineerest becoming due. If the city or township shall fail

the same remains unpaid after the due date. The city or township may pay in advance of maturity all
or any part of an installment by surrendering te the county bonds issued in anticipation of payments
to be made under this contract, of a like principal amount maturing in the same calendar year, with
all future due interest coupons attached thereto. Accrued interest upon the amount so paid upon any
installment, and accrued interest upon the bonds surrendered, shall be adjusted to the date of surrender
and any difference shall be paid in cash. All surrendered bonds and coupons shall be canceled.
7. The city and the township does each hereby pledge its full faith and credit for the prompt
payment of the aforesaid obligations and shall each year levy a tax in an amount which taking into
consideration estimated delinquencies in tax collections, will be sufficient for the prompt payment of
any amount falling due before the time of the following year's tax collection, unless at the time of
making such annual levy there shall be cash on hand (as provided for in paragraph (2), Section 12, of
Act No. 165, Public Acts of 1957, as amended) earmarked for the payment of the current obligations
for which the tax levy is to be made, in which case the annual tax levy may be reduced by that amount.
Rinds for which credit may be so taken, may be raised by the city and the township in the manner pro-
vided in paragraph (2), Section 12 of said Act 185, Public Acts of 1957, as now existing or hereafter
Amended, it being understood, however, that areas now in the city to be served through the county
facilities shall be subject only to such retail charges for connections, availability and services as
the city in its sole discretion shall determine and areas now in the township to be served through the
city facilities shall be subject only to such retail charges for connection, availability and services
as the township in its sole discretion shall determine the corresponding wholesale rates to be estab-
lished as provided in paragraph 12, hereof.
8. The provisions of this agreement shall not be deemed to have modified or terminated any
agreement between the county and the township so as to impair the security of any bonds issued by the
county upon the full faith and credit pledgee of the township or the county. It is hereby declared
that the terms of this agreement are additional security for any such bonds, and shall be deemed to be
for the benefit of the holders of said bonds.

extensions thereto, lands owned by or under the jurisdiction of the city or the township or the county,
located within the Farmington Sewage Disposal District-Tarabusi Industrial Arm sub-district shall be
liable, if connected to said Arm, to the same extent as privately owned lands, to pay the charges for
sewage disposal services with respect thereto.
10. Wherever the county provides water supply service to the city hereunder, such service shall
be metered by master water meters to be provided by the city at its expense. The county will read,
maintain and replace such meters and the expense of so doing may be included in the calculations, as
herein provided, of water supply rates to the city. There shall be no water meter at the point of
take off of the Whitaker Street lateral on Industrial Section No. 1, but a sealed valve shall be
installed at this point to provide emergency service only. On Grand River Avenue the master water
meter readings will be divided between the city and the township on the proportions established by
comparing the aggregate of the individual water meter readings in the areas served in the city with
those in the areas served in the township. Wherever the County provides sewage disposal service to
the City, hereunder, the extent of such service shall be determined by the individual water meter
readings of premises so served.
11. Wherever the city provides water supply service to the township hereunder, such service
shall be metered by individual meters to be provided by the township at its expense. The township will
read, maintain and replace such meters. Wherever the City provides sewage disposal service to the
Township hereunder the extent of such service shall be determined by the individual water meter readings
of premises so served.
12. The rates to be charged the city by the county and the rates to be charged the township by
the city for sewage disposal and water supply services shall be wholesale rates, calculated on an
identical basis, to consist of the actual costs of sewage disposal and of water supply in the respective
systems and facilities of the county and of the city through the facilities of the City of Detroit,
plus the reasonable 'expenses of providing the services and of administering this contract in the form
of inspection, meter reading maintenance and replacement, billing and collecting, and general adminis-
tration proportioned to the respective volume of services at the points of connection. Any general
increases in rates not related to changes in City of Detroit rates or reasonable expenses shall be made

hereby acknowledges receipt of conformed ecpies of each, and hereby accepts the terms and provisions of
each such agreement to the extent the same are incorporated herein and apply to the city and to the
township. The township recognizes that the assumption hr the cjty hereunder of a per cent apportionment
of the unpaid cost of the sewers and water lines does not release or relieve the township of its full
faith and credit obligations as set forth in the Base Agreement, Arm Agreement and Water Agreement to
pay its full share therein apportioned except to the extent that the city actually makes payment to the
county as herein provided.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties hereto have caused this agreement to be executed and delivered

To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS this Board and other concerned officials of the government, were led to believe that
if the County Department of Social Services was integrated into the Michigan Department of Social
Services that the citizens of the County would receive more service than if the two agencies were left
separate, and
WHEREAS for that reason and others, pursuant to the provisions of F. A. 280 of 1939, as
amended, this Board and the Social Services Board did request integration, which request was approved
by the Director, Michigan Department of Social Services, and the two agencies were thereupon integrated
as of 19 March, 1967, and
WHEREAS the turn of events has resulted in such drastic reductions in staff of the County
Department by the State of Michigan that the citizens of the County are receiving less service than
was the case prior to integration, which condition bears some indication of deteriorating further, and
WHEREAS the reduction is being directed to be made in the area of service to the elderly, the
ill and the infirm, and the intake function which most directly affects the general public,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that this Board is of the opinion that this situation is highly
undesirable and respectfully directs the attention of the Honorable Governor of the State of Michigan
to this matter, and the Clerk of the County is directed to send a certified copy to the Governor and

IN RE: LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL - AUDITORS 1968 CAPITAL PROGRAM
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Your Ways and Means Committee is pleased to present to this Board today, the Board of Auditors
recommended 1968 Capital Program.
This document for the first time provides the Auditors, the various Committees and Members of
this Board with comprehensive guide lines for present action based on forecasted long-range capital
construction needs as correlated to the potential financial ability of the County.
Your Committee, in presenting this document, emphasizes certain features which both this
Committee and the Board of Auditors believe to be of utmost importance:
1. This document is intended as a plan providing the guide lines by which this Board and
those responsible for recommending capital improvements and their financing can be better prepared to
act at the proper time, it is not a budget to be adopted by the Board and the implementation of capital
projects will be finally determined in accordance with the By-Laws by this Board of Supervisors.
2. it is intended as a flexible plan based on presently known future needs and revenue
expectations, and it is the Auditors intention to revise and update the same annually for submission to
this Board.
3. Annual budget approvals of allocations of miscellaneous non-tax revenue, unless ctherwise
specified in the budget at the time of adoption, will not constitute formal approval of the specific
items nor methods of financing outlined in the Auditors Capital Program for that year. It will serve
as a commitment of the monies so allocated for use in implementing those County capital improvements
and their financing after final approval by the Board of Supervisors in accordance with the By-Laws of
the Board.
Much work, planning and research have gone into this Capital Program and your Committee
compliments the Board of Auditors, the Staff, the Buildings and Grounds Committee and other County
agencies and Committees involved in this preparation.
Your Committee now has, under study, methods of financing the Jail and other current capital
projects. Recommendations in due course will be made covering these items.
Supervisors Minutes Continued. April. 9, 1968 1367
Mr. Chairman, your Ways and Means Committee moves that this letter of transmittal be adopted
as the policy of this Board in respect to this and succeeding Annual Capital Programs to be presented
by the Board of Auditors.

IN RE: REPORT ON REQUEST FOR PUBLIC HEARING ON TENTATIVE BUDGET
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
At the Oakland County- Board of Supervisors meeting on March 13, 1968, a communication
received by said Board from Mr. Glenn Swindler of the Oakland County Homeowners and Taxpayers
Association, coneerningthe request for a public hearing on the Tentative Budget, was referred to the
Ways and Means Committee and the Board of Auditors. The pertinent paragraph of the letter reads as
fellows:
"Our association would appreciate this letter being read to the entire Board of Super-
visors in request that a public hearing be held on the tentative budget, further that
the public hearing be scheduled for the evening of April 15th after 6:00 p.m. so working
taxpayers can attend without loss of pay."
Your Ways and Means Committee has adopted the following resolution:
WHEREAS the 1963 Michigan State Constitution, Article VII, Section 32 reads as follows:
"Sec. 32. Any county, township, city, village, authority or school district empowered
by the legislature or by this constitution to prepare budgets of estimated expenditures
and revenues shall adopt such budgets only after a public hearing in a manner prescribed
by law."
and
WHEREAS in the Second Extra Sessicn of 1963 the Legislature enacted Act 43 of the Public
Acts of 1963, Second Extra Session, the effective date of the Act is December 27, 1963 the title of
the Act being "An Act to provide for public hearing on budgets of local units of government", and
WHEREAS Section 3 of such act prescribes the time of hearing for governmental units which
have to submit tentative budgets to the Allocation Board to obtain allocation rates, exact words being:
"Each local unit shall hold such public hearing prior to final adoption of its budget.
Units which submit budgets to a county tax allocation board shall hold such hearing after
its tax rate allocation has been fixed by such board.", and
WHEREAS the Board of Auditors requested Corporation Counsel for the County of Oakland for an
opinion as to the holding of a public hearing on its tentative budget; and Corporation Counsel's
opinion in part states:
Supervisors Minutes Continued. April 9, 1968 1369
"After reading Section 3, I am of the opinion that the County may not hold a hearing on
its budget until after its tax allocation rate has been fixed by the County Tax Allocation
Board. It is mandatory upon the County Tax Allocation Board to issue its final order of
allocation on the 1st Monday in June. In view of the mandatory language found in Act 43
of the Public Acts of 1963, 2nd Extra Session, the County of Oakland is obligated to hold
a public hearing on the adoption of its budget sometime after the 1st Monday in June and
may not hold a public hearing on its budget prior to that date."
THEREFORE HE IT RESOLVED that your Ways and Means Committee respectfully submits that in
light of Corporation Counsel's opinion and his interpretation of the Michigan State Constitution and
applicable Legislative Acts that a public hearing on the tentative budget not be held prior to the
fixing of a County tax rate by the Oakland County Tax Allocation Board.

IN RE: TENTATIVE BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 1969
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Property Tax Limitation Statute (Act 62, Section 9, Public Acts of 1933, M.S.A. 7.61)
provides the County shall, at the April Session of the Board of Supervisors, submit a budget to the
County Tax Allocation Board for its use in determining the County's millage for the ensuing year.
Your Ways and Means Committee, Personnel Policies Committee and the County Board of Auditors, whose
joint responsibility it is to prepare for your consideration such allocation budget, herewith present
their recommendations for the period January 1, 1969 to December 31, 1969.
In the judgment of your Ways and Means Committee and the Auditors, the budget recommendation
herein presented, including the joint recommendations of the Personnel Policies Committee and Auditors
for the Salaries portion of the Budget, represent insofar as present information is available the
amounts necessary to finance County operaticns for 1969.
Estimated receipts for 1969 include, for the first time, an estimate of the County's dis-
tributive share of the State Income Tax and projects a significant increase in the Land Transfer Tax.
Your Committee invites your attention to the following items:
1. The recommended allocation of Miscellaneous non-tax revenues, page 4, represents the
total amount necessary to implement capital improvements recommended in the Auditors Capital Program
for 1969, including proposed financing of the County Jail. It should again be noted that approval of
this allocation does not constitute endorsement of the specific items nor methods of financing outlined
in that program, but rather the commitment of this sum to the overall purposes of County capital
improvements.
2. Your Committee's recommendation of $1,500,000 for the implementation of the District
Court Program is based on the best current information available to your Committee and the Auditors
and, depending on the outcome of pending legislative proposals, could be either high or low. The sum
recommended is approximately 1/3 lower than original estimates.
3. An increase of $525,000 for General Relief has been recommended in light of present
Federal-State plans for freezing the number of A.D.C. cases. This will necessarily increase the
number on County welfare rolls.
4. Under non-departmental appropriations, provision has been made for the Parcel Numbering
System (third of four installments), Transportation and Land Use Study (third of three installments),
full operation of the County Traffic Safety Committee and the 1969 installment of the 10 year Utilities
Expansion Program.
5. The current request of the Oakland County Road Commission for an annual allocation of
millage will be reported on by separate resolution. No provision has been included in this budget
for this purpose.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Ways and Means Committee, the Personnel Policies Committee and
the County Board of Auditors, I move that this Honorable Board give consideration to the adoption of
the attached budget in the amount of $26,202,955 for allocation purposes.

IN RE: PERSONNEL POLICIES COMMITTEE REPORT - SALARIES
Your Board of Auditors and the Personnel Policies Committee recommend that the following
amounts be placed in the Tentative 1969 Budget to cover the cost of salaries:
$ 9,891,928 For 1266 Positions which have been previously approved
602,786 For 90 new positions
55,870 For emergency salaries
737,040 For possible salary adjustments
400,000 For overtime reserve
$11,687,624 Total Salaries Budget
This total Salaries Budget is an increase of $1,915,973 over the total 1968 Salaries Budget.
An increase of 20%.
The 119 new positions requested by the County's Departments were reduced to ninety (90) during
departmental hearings with your Committee and the Board of Auditors. The bulk of these positions fall
under the general areas of Health (26), Law Enforcement (30), and Juvenile Court activities (15). The
$737,040 included for possible salary adjustments is not earmarked at this time for any particular job
classifications, departments or employees. Detailed recommendations in this area are developed in the
Final Budget after completion of the County's annual salary survey which is conducted in July and
August. In the 1968 Budget, $500.000 was placed in the Tentative Budget for salary adjustments and
$763,039 was spent in the Final Budget.
The Elmergency Salaries amount of $55,870 compares with $52,100 budgeted for 1968. The over-
time reserve amount is an overall estimate and is not earmarked for particular departments at this
time. $265,558 was spent for this purpose in 1967.
The next page is a summary sheet showing the distribution of the total salaries amount to
the various departmental budgets, and the following page shows a comparison of this Tentative Salaries
Budget with the budgets of recent years. The positions budgeted for each department, their classifi-
cations, present salary ranges and descriptions of the requested and recommended new positions are
shown on the colored pages of the budget document.
Mr. Chairman, I move the acceptance of this recommendation from the Personnel Policies
Committee and the Board of Auditors, for consideration as part of the Tentative 1969 Budget recommend-
ation as submitted by the Ways and Means Committee.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Second Amendment to said Contract dated April 15, 1964

SECOND AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT - EVERGREEN SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM SOUTHVIELL-ROUa ARM
THIS AGREEMENT made as of this 1st day of June, 1967, by and between the COUNTY OF OAKLAND, a

is attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and by this reference made a part hereof, and which map is attached
hereto as Exhibit "A" and by this reference made a part hereof, and
WHEREAS in order to acquire and finance said North Extension it is necessary that this Second
Amendment to Agreement be entered into by the parties hereto.
THEREFORE IT Is HEREBY AGREED BY AND BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO, as follows:
1. The location for the North Extension to the Southfield-Rouge Arm as prepared for the DPW
is hereby approved and adopted in the amount set forth on Exhibit "B", hereto attached. The said North
Extension to said Arm shall consist of sewers located approximately as set forth and generally shown
on Exhibit "A" hereto attached.
2. Each of said municipalities shall pay to the county, to cover the capital cost of the North
Extension to the Southfield-Rouge Arm, a sum equal to that produced by applying the following percentages
to the capital cost thereof, to-wit:
City of Southfield 34.46393%
Village of Bingham Farms 65.53607%
Total 100.00000%
The term "capital cost" as above used, shall include all items of cost set forth in the Exhibit
"B" attached hereto and any changes thereto and any other or additional items of cost, of a similar
type or nature, as may be set forth in any revision of Exhibit "B" agreed to by the parties hereto,
incurred by the county in acquiring and constructing the North Extension to said Arm.
3. The amount to be paid by each municipality towards the cost of the Southfield-Rouge Arm
has been divided into 30 annual installments numbered in direct order of their maturities based upon
percentages and in amounts set forth in the Amendment to Agreement, dated January 15, 1965. The
aggregate amount of each installment as to each municipality and the division thereof between the muni-
cipalities as to this North Extension to said -Southfield-Rouge Arm are set forth in a schedule designated
Exhibit "C", hereto attached and by this reference made a part hereof.
Since the cost of the said North Extension is to be defrayed out of surplus proceeds of the
county bonds which were issued in anticipation of the payments to be made towards the cost of the
Southfield-Rouge Arm, no additional payments are required to be paid towards the cost of this North
Extension, but the percentage obligations of the said city and village, respectively, are different for
the North Extension than for the Arm itself. Therefore, when the last ten installment payments due from
the city and the village for the Arm fall due, said installments shall be adjusted as set forth in
Exhibit "C" by increasing the amount payable by the Village of Bingham Farms in each of said ten years
by one-tenth of of its proportionate share of the cost of the North Extension less one-tenth of its
proportionate share of the surplus funds from the Southfield-Rouge Arm (1/10 x 2.72847%) as applied to
the cost of the North Extension and by reducing the amount payable by the City of Southfield in each
of said ten years by the increase payable by the said Village. Said adjustment in amounts paid shall
not, and cannot because of the county bonds already issued, relieve the City of Southfield or the
Village of Bingham Farms of its full faith and credit obligation to pay its respective shares of the
cost of said Southfield-Rouge Arm or of the North Extension tiereto as provided in the Agreement or
in the Amendment to Agreement or in this Second Amendment, to Agreement or in Act No.' 185 of the Michigan
Public Acts of 1957, as amended. The terms and provisions of the Agreement, Base Agreement and Amend-
ment to Agreement as to payment of the said installments or prepayment thereof and the interest thereon
and collection thereof shall apply to the obligations herein created relative to the North Extension
to the Arm, which obligations do not require the payment of additional moneys in aggregate amount but
simply adjust the apportioned percentages of the payments during the last ten years.
4. This Second Amendment to Agreement shall become effective upon being approved by the legis-
lative bodies of the municipalities and by the board of public works and board of supervisors of Oakland
County and properly executed by the officers of the municipalities and of the board of public works.
As amended hereby, the said Agreement of April 15, 1964, the Amendment to Agreement of January 15, 1965
and the Base Agreement to which said Agreement refers shall continue and be in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties hereto have caused this Second Amendment to Agreement to be
executed and delivered by their respective duly authorized officers, all as of the day and year first
above written.

IN RE: REPORT ON DRAYTON PLAINS EXTENSION DRAIN
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
A matter of considerable County concern has been referred to the Drain Committee of the
Oakland County Board of Supervisors for study and report. This is the matter of the malfunctioning
of the Drayton Plains Extension Drain, an established County Drain, constructed in 1922 and serving
certain properties in the Township of Waterford as well as U. S. Highway #10 and certain County roads.
Over the years monies have been expended by the Oakland County Drain Commissioner and the
Oakland County Road Commission to correct drain deficiencies, such deficiencies being directly
attributable to the inadequacy of both the Drayton Plains Extension Drain and its outlet the Drayton
Plains Drain.
A meeting of the Drain Committee was held on April 29, 1968 in the office of the County
Drain Commissioner to discuss this problem. Present at this meeting were representatives of the
Drain Commissioner's Office, the Oakland County Road Commission, the Michigan State Highway Department
and the Township of Waterford.
Following discussion of some length, the Drain Committee decided that the responsibility
for the correction of the drainage problem was that of the Township of Waterford. Under the provisions
of State Drainage Statutes,the Township may petition the Drain Commissioner to institute proceedings
which will result in the construction of proper and adequate drainage serving Township, State and
County interests, with each unit of government sharing proportionately in the total cost of construction.
It is the further feeling of the Drain Committee that until proceedings are initiated by
the Township of Waterford, neither the State Highway Department, the County Road Commission nor the
Supervisors Minutes Continued. May 27, 1968 1397
Oakland County Drain Commissioner are in a position to correct this perennial problem.

Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen;
Pursuant to Rule XXI of our By-Laws, Notice is hereby given that at the next meeting of
this Board, your By-Laws Committee will offer a resolution to amend that portion of the By-Laws
covering the "Meetings of the Board" as they relate to Budget meetings, such amendment would substitute
the word "First" for the word "second" and will change the date of the first meeting in October from
the "Second Monday in October" to the "First Monday in October", which change of date will necessitate
the amending of Rule XII, Standing Committees-Duties" as it relates to the Auditor General-Local Taxes
Committee; and also Rule XVIII Meetings Of The Board (d) and the Schedule of Dates for Tax Procedures
(page 17) Items 21 and 22 (page 20) by substituting the word "First" for the word "Second" in each
instance.
Attention of Board Members is called to the fact that a recent resolution (No. 4861) changed
the above referred meeting dates from the "first" to "second" Monday in October, etc. and since the
passage of that resolution it now appears that the schedule of dates in said resolution (No. 4861)
would create a hardship on the assessing officials and tax collectors in preparation and mailing of
tax bills within the time required. Therefore, in view of this recent development, the consideration
of this matter at the next meeting will leave the procedures to follow the schedule as it has been in
effect up to the date of the passage of Resolution 4861.

mental operation are solely and exclusively the responsibility of the Employer, subject, however, to
the provisions of this agreement.
III. DUES CHECK-OFF

and to discuss procedures for avoiding future grievances. In addition, the committee may discuss
with the Employer other issues which would improve the relationship between the parties.
V. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

and disciplinary actions of any type shall not be a subject for the grievance procedure but shall be
processed according to the procedures of the Personnel Appeal Board.

steward and shall be reduced to writing, signed by the grievant and submitted to his immediate supervisor.
Step 2. The written grievance shall be discussed between the shift steward and the immediate
supervisor, and the Chief Steward if so desired. The supervisor will attempt to adjust the matter and
will give his written decision within five (5) days (excluding Saturday, Sunday and holidays) of
receipt of the written grievance.
Step 3. Any grievance not settled at Step 2 may be submitted to the next meeting of the
grievance committee. Any grievance not submitted to the next grievance committee meeting, by written
notification to the Employer within five (5) days of the immediate supervisor's written decision,
shall be considered dropped. Any matter not settled in Step 3 of the grievance procedure may be
submitted to final and binding arbitration upon mutual agreement of the parties. A request for
arbitration must be submitted by written notice to the other party within fifteen (15) days after
the grievance committee meeting. Expenses for arbitration shall be borne equally by both parties.
If the parties fail to select an arbitrator, one will be selected under the rules of the
American Arbitration Association.
Any grievance not appealed, from a decision in one of the steps of the grievance procedure,
to the next step as prescribed, shall be considered dropped and the last decision final and binding,
except that time limits may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties.

available jobs and shall be recalled in the same order.

IN RE: ANNUAL REPORT OF BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS COMMITTEE
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
In accordance with Section 4 of Rule XII of the By-Laws, your Buildings and Grounds Committee
has made its annual inspection of County-owned buildings and grounds.
Your Committee is pleased to report it found the buildings and grounds satisfactorily main-
tained, clean and repaired; and, in view of the age of some of the older facilities, the conditions
speak well of the program carried out by the Board of Auditors Facilities and Operations Divisions.
All apparent minor deficiencies that exist today are planned for correction through funds
in the 1968 budget and the 1969 tentative budget.
This year your Committee has had a booklet prepared by the Board of Auditors Department of
Facilities and Operations, to present pictorially and by brief comment the current buildings and
grounds conditions, some of the accomplishments during the past year, and some of the needs presently
under consideration.
Of special note, construction of the new South Oakland County Health Center in Southfield
was completed last July, and the first employees moved into the new East Wing of the Court House in
April of this year. These two facilities add more floor area to the County buildings to better meet
the public service needs of a rapidly growing County. During this past year 127 acres has been pur-
chased adjacent to the west boundaries of the Service Center to provide expansion space for the long
range growth of future County services.
Your Committee has under consideration, this year, the buildings and grounds capital projects
recommended by the Board of Auditors in their 1968 Capital Program. Plans for the new Law Enforcement-
Complex will be complete and ready for bidding this early fall; the written building program of needs
has been presented by the Board of Auditors for construction of d new Service Building to replace the
inadequate facilities used by the Drain Office, Department of Public Works, and the Department of
Facilities and Operations; and the Committee has approved a proposal to construct a new 4-H Activities
Center. In addition to these major projects, the Service Center electrical, water, sewer and lightning
protection systems are being improved, and a new parking lot is under construction at the Sanatorium
and the Market.
During 1969 the offices at #1 Lafayette Street will be vacated by the County and the building
will be turned over to the City of Pontiac. The departments which are located at #1 Lafayette Street
are being relocated to the Court House, East Wing, and to the former Oakland Schools Board of Education
Building.
Your Committee reports a busy year and expects even busier years ahead to provide an adequate
physical plant to house our modern and growing County services.

Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Buildings and Grounds Committee, 1 move that the foregoing
report be received and placed on file.
Moved by Oldenburg supported by Hursfall the report be received and placed on file.
A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the motion carried.
Mr. Mastin, Chairman of the Boundaries of Cities and Villages Committee, made the following
statement;
"The Pulte Land Company filed suit against the Board of Supervisors requesting the Court to
issue a mandamus to compel the Board of Supervisors to order an election on the question of annexation
to the Village of Beverly Hills of certain territory from the Village of Bingham Farms. The Court
found, as a matter of law, that the Board of Supervisors had only a ministerial duty and that if the
petition was sufficient then the Board of Supervisors must order an election. The petition, having
been found sufficient, the Court then ordered the Board of Supervisors to call an election on the
question of annexation. In view of the Court's findings, it is the Committee's recommendation that
this Board reconsider its action previously taken on the resolution and adopt the resolution by a
majority vote of the members elect of this Board."

maintain high standards, between the employer and employees, which will best serve the citizens of

all Security Guard classifications and all supervisors as defined in the Act.
II. MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY
The right to hire, promote, discharge or discipline, and to maintain discipline and effi-
ciency of employees, is the sole responsibility of the Employer except that Union Members shall not
be discriminated against as such. In addition, the work schedules, methods and means of departmental
operation are solely and exclusively the responsibility of the Employer, subject, however, to the
provisions of this agreement.
III. DUES CHECK-OFF

Stewards will be permitted to leave their work, after obtaining approval of their respective
supervisors and recording their time, for the purpose of adjusting grievances in accordanee with the
grievance procedure and for reporting to the grievant a change in status of his grievance. Permission
for stewards to leave their work stations will not be unreasonably withheld. Stewards will report their
time to their supervisor upon returning from a grievance discussion.

grievance committee. The purpose of grievance committee meetings will be to adjust pending grievances,
and to discuss procedures for avoiding future grievances. In addition, the committee may discuss with
the Employer other issues which would improve the relationship between the parties.
V.GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
The Employer and the Union support and subscribe to an orderly method of adjusting employee
grievances. To this end, the Employer and the Union agree that an employee should first bring his
problem or grievance to the attention of his immediate supervisor, with or without his steward, who
shall attempt to resolve the grievance informally. Dismissals, suspensions
'
demotions and disciplinary
actions of any type shall not be a subject for the grievance procedure but shall be processed according
to the procedures of the Personnel Appeal Board.

If the grievance is not settled informally, it shall be discussed with the shift steward and
shall be reduced to writing, signed by the grievant and submitted to his immediate supervisor.
Step 2.
The written grievance shall be discussed between the shift steward and the immediate super-
visor, and the Chief Steward if so desired. The supervisor will attempt to adjust the matter and will
give his written decision within five (5) days (excluding Saturday, Sunday and holidays) of receipt of
the written grievance.
Step 3.
Any grievance not settled at Step 2 may be submitted to the next meeting of the grievance
committee. Any grievance not submitted to the next grievance committee meeting, by written notification
to the Employer within five (5) days of the immediate supervisor's written decision, shall be considered
dropped. Any matter not settled in Step 3 of the grievance procedure may be submitted to final and
binding arbitration upon mutual agreement of the parties. A request for arbitration must be submitted
by written notice to the other party within fifteen (15) days after the grievance committee meeting.
Expenses for arbitration shall be borne equally by both parties.
If the parties fail to select an arbitrator, one will be selected under the rules of the
American Arbitration Association.
Any grievance not appealed, from a decision in one of the steps of the grievance procedure,
to the next step as prescribed, shall be considered dropped and the last decision final and binding,
except that time limits may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties.

jobs and shall be recalled in the same order.

IN RE; OAKLAND COUNTY PSYCHOLOGICAL CLINIC-MISC. RES. #4899 PRESENTED TO THE BOARD ON JUNE 24, 1968
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen;
This resolution was brought to this Board by Mrs. Elizabeth W. Mitchell, Chairman of the
Juvenile Affairs Committee which had been signed by five members of said committee. It was a resolution
requesting the Board of Supervisors to concur in an agreement proposed by the Probate Judges between
the Oakland County Community Health Services Board and the Probate Judges to expand the Oakland County
Psychological Clinic.
The resolution was referred to the Ways and Means Committee and was to be placed on the agenda
for this meeting. The following is a report of the Ways and Means Committee relating to this resolution.
Since the last meeting of the Board it came to the attention of the Probate Judges, the Board
of Auditors and the Oakland County Community Mental Health Services Board that Act 265 of the 1968
Regular Session provides for the contracting by Community Mental Health Services Boards with other
Social Service Agencies, both public and private, and other educational and judicial agencies including
the mental health and clinical services of the courts. This Act changes a concept heretofore in the
law, which in effect would not permit any contractual agencies such as those just mentioned.
Therefore, the Probate Judges, the Board of Auditors and the Community Mental Health Board
are endeavoring to arrange a meeting with the Department of Mental Health, State of Michigan, for the
purpose of reaching an arrangement by which the Psychological Clinic of Oakland County and the Oakland
County Mental Health Services Board may utilize each others services to greater benefit the Mental
Health problem in the County.
It is expected that under the new Act an agreement will be reached and therefore necessitates
no action on Miscellaneous Resolution #4899. When an agreement is reached it will be reported to the
Board of Supervisors by this Committee. It is hopeful that this agreement could be consummated before
the next meeting of this Board.
Mr. Chairman I move that the foregoing resolution be received and filed.

is attached hereto as Revised Exhibit "B" and by this reference made a part hereof, and which revised
schedule of payments is attached hereto as Revised Exhibit "C" and by this reference made a part hereof,

WHEREAS because of the delay in issuing county bonds and the changes in payment schedules as

4. Each of the townships shall pay to the county, to cover the cost of the Arm, a sum equal
to its share of the capital cost thereof less the amount of the Federal grant which has been received
and less the amount of any such grant hereafter received by either party hereto and applied to the
capital cost of the Arm which share of each of the townships is set forth on Revised Exhibit "C"
attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof.
The term "capital cost" as above used, shall include all items of cost set forth in Revised
Exhibit "B" attached hereto and any changes thereto and any other or additional items of cost, of a
similar type or nature, as may be set forth in any further revision of Revised Exhibit "B" agreed to

5. The principal amount to be paid by the townships shall be divided into annual installments,
numbered in direct order of their maturities. The amount of each such installment for each of the

thereto. Accrued interest upon the amount so paid upon any installment, and accrued interest upon the
bonds surrendered, shall be adjusted to the date of surrender and any difference shall be paid in cash.

3. All other references in said Agreement to Exhibit "B" or the Exhibit "C" shall be deemed
to mean Revised Exhibit "B" or Revised Exhibit "C" as attached hereto and approved and adopted hereby.

"All of the areas in the Township of Avon are in need of facilities for the supply, trans-
portation and distribution of water from local well-fields and subsequently from the water supply

indicated a willingness to contract with the County of Oakland relative to the construction and
financing of such a system in several stages and the operation thereof by the County.

IN RE: 1968 LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE REPORT
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Report of your Legislative Committee is submitted herewith.
The Board, by Miscellaneous Resolution No. 4799, adopted an eight point legislative program.
1. Legislation to bring about a 75% State 25% County matching program for the foster care
of children under the jurisdiction of the Probate Court.
Senate Bill 1085 was introduced to accomplish this objective. After hearings and with exten-
sive support, the Senate Committee on Health, Social Services and Retirement reported the bill favorably
to the Senate. However, the bill, with several others dealing with increased state contributions to
various programs, was re-referred to the Senate Appropriations Committee. The Committee refused to
report back on any of the bills thus re-referred to it.
2. Legislation to amend Sec. 306 of the Drain Code to provide for assessment of Drain Revolving
Fund monies with two years instead of the present five year period.
Senate Bill 797 was introduced to accomplish this objective. The bill failed to receive
support in the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Economic Development and was not reported. There-
after an amendment to Senate Bill 957 was offered in the House Committee on Drainage. The amendment
was defeated in Committee.
3. To reaffirm support of legislation that would provide additional funds to Intermediate
School Districts for the operation of schools for wards of the Court.
House Bill 3924 was introduced to accomplish this objective. The bill met with opposition
in the House Committee on Education. That Committee was discharged and the bill passed. In the Senate
the committee on Education and Elections, after hearings, failed to report the bill.
4. Legislation to amend the Probate Code to provide that claims of a county against estates
shall take the status of the expenditure which gave rise to the claim.
House Bill 3866 was introduced to accomplish this objective. The bill was not reported by
the House Committee on Judiciary.
5. Legislation to amend the Workman's Compensation Act to provide that the public be reim-
bursed directly for its expenditures, such as hospital and medical bills and direct relief when furnished.
Proposal for legislation to accomplish this purpose became a part of an overall study, in-
stituted by the House Labor Committee, of the Workman's Compensation Act, with a view toward a revamping
of the Act. The Committee has not completed hearings nor submitted its report. It is likely the study
will continue in the next legislative session.
6. Legislation to allow members of a Veterans Affairs Commission to be veterans of World War II
and the Korean War as well as World War I.
House Bill 3950 was introduced to accomplish this purpose. The bill passed the Legislature
and was given immediate effect. The bill was signed by the Governor on June 24, 1968 and became Public
Act 204 of 1968.
7. Legislation to provide a method of refunding taxes when the State Tax Commission has
reduced the assessed valuation of properties, the Tax Warrant having been previously certified.
House Bill 3712 was introduced to accomplish this purpose. The bill met opposition by the
Tax Commission and, after several hearings by the House Committee on Taxation, the bill was not reported.
An Amendment to Senate Bill 1348 was drafted after consultation with and the approval of the Tax
Commission. The amendment accomplished the purpose of House Bill 3712 and was supported by the Tax
Commission. The bill, as amended, was defeated in the House on other grounds. The vote was reconsidered
and the bill passed. The Senate refused to concur in several amendments. Following conference the
amendments were deleted and the bill passed in original form.
8. Legislation to provide that tax on real estate conveyances be deposited to the general
fund of the county where the conveyance is recorded.
House Bill 3415 was introduced to accomplish this purpose. Passed by the Legislature, the
bill was signed into law by the Governor on July 3, 1968 and became Public Act 327 of 1968.
Also pursuant to Miscellaneous Resolution No. 4799, the Department of Conservation was advised
of the County's support of a program to expedite the planting of Coho Salmon into streams emptying into
Lake Huron. The Department is now committed to Coho planting in Lake Huron. Plantings have been made
in Tawas Bay and Thunder Bay regions, the Au Sable River and near St. Ignace emptying into Lake Huron.
Depending on results, the program may be expanded in 1969.
Near the end of the Session it was determined that many Boards, Commissions, etc. by statute,
presently receive the same compensation as members of the Board of Supervisors, and in order to avoid
confusion for the new Board in establishing its own salary, Representative Hampton, at the request of
the Chairman of your Committee, amended Senate Bill 876 to provide that such Boards, Commissions, etc.
shall receive compensation as determined by the Board of Supervisors, which bill was approved by both
houses, signed by the Governor, and is Public Act 351.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Legislative Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing
report.

IN RE: INCREASE IN COUNTY CONTRIBUTION FOR SALARY OF CIRCUIT JUDGES
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County, through action of its Board of Supervisors, for many years supplemented
remuneration received by the County Circuit Judges from the State of Michigan, and
WHEREAS as of January 1, 1967, the effective date of Public Act 252 of 1966, Oakland County
was supplementing County Circuit Judges remuneration in the sum of $14,000 per judge per year, and
WHEREAS under the provisions of Public Act 252 the state remuneration is in the sum of
$20,000 per year and the maximum that any judge can receive from both county and state is $30,000 per
year, and
wHEREAS upon Public Act 252 becoming effective, this County's supplemental remuneration was
reduced to $10,000.00 per judge per year, and

from receiving more than $30,000.00, and
WHEREAS in view of increased salaries being paid to county employees and the current inflation-

County contribution to the salary of each circuit judge at such time as the limitation imposed by Act
252 are removed either by repeal or otherwise;

Misc. 4946
By Mr. Levinson
IN RE: BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING JANUARY 1, 1969 TO DECEMBER 31, 1969
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The ways and Means Committee herewith presents to the Oakland County Board of Supervisors the
recommended budget for the operation of the County for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 1969 and
ending December 31, 1969 in the amount of $25,833,778. Included in this amount is the sum of $11,692,156
to cover the joint 1969 salaries and fringe benefit recommendations of the Personnel Policies Committee
and the Board of Auditors.
The 1969 County share of the State Income Tax estimated at 2.3 million dollars has been included
in the overall budgetary receipts. Your committee and the Auditors note that as previously predicted,
the rapidly mounting demand for County finance services, together with the rising cost of all services
including again this year, the necessity for substantial pay raises in order to maintain the competitive
position of the County in the labor market, have already made considerable inroads on this new major
revenue source.
For this reason, it has likewise been necessary to reduce the Tentative Budget recommendations
on the allocation from miscellaneous non-tax revenues for capital construction needs to $416,106.
The 1969 Non-Departmental recommendations include provisions for the following: the Parcel
Numbering System (3rd of 4 installments), Transportation and Land Use Study (last of 3 installments),
the 1969 installment for the 10-year utilities expansion program, 1969 proposed Land Acquisition at the
Oakland-Pontiac Airport, financing of the new District Courts and the detailed program requested by the
Oakland County Road Commission.
The recommended appropriation of $600,000 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 $047,364 to that fund in accordance with funding requirements as
determined by the Retirement Actuary.
Information on the above noted items and other budgetary recommendations can be found under the
appropriate sections of the budget document. In the judgment of your Committee, the recommended con-
tingent fund of $494,000 is extremely tight when viewed in the light of past experience, the unpredict-
ability of Federal and State Government in the field of welfare and hospitalization payments and the
necessity for allowing some flexibility to the new Board of Supervisors in determining the nature and
level of their operations. In addition, many questions such as the proposed Elm tree removal program
and the actual cost of the District Courts are yet to be determined.

Supervisors Minutes Continued. October 7, 1968
In line with the practice established in 1967, a separate resolution is being presented to
this Board to meet the annual County obligation to the Building Authority for the East Wing and for the
payment of certain drain commitments authorized for spread above the 15 mill limitation.
Based on our studies, the recommendations of the Board of Auditors, the Personnel Policies
Collimittee and interviews with County Department Heads, your Committee believes the recommendations
herein present a properly balanced budget and one which provides for the best operation of the County
within the limits of funds available.
Mr. Chairman, 1 move the adoption of the above report and approval of the 1969 budget as
submitted, including provision for the recommendations as to salaries and fringe benefits of the Personnel
Policies Committee and the Board of Auditors.

SALARIES PORTION OF 1969 BUDGET
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors
Your Board of Auditors and the Personnel Policies Committee recommend that the following amounts
be placed in the 1969 Budget to cover the cost of salaries:
$10,955,999 For 1347 Positions which have been previously approved
454,050 For 65 new positions
48,170 For emergency salaries
233,937 For overtime reserve
$11,692,156 Total Salaries Budget
On the following pages is a Summary Sheet showing the distribution of the total salaries amount
to the various departmental budgets, explanations of the major changes in items covered by the Salaries
Portion of the Budget and a comparison with previous budgets.
The positions budgeted for each department, their classifications, present and recommended
salary ranges and descriptions of the requested and recommended new positions are shown on the colored
pages of the budget document.
With the exception of the salary rates recommended for elected and appointed officials, which
are solely the responsibility of the Personnel Policies Committee, this report is the joint recommendation
of that Committee and the Board of Auditors. It was arrived at after holding lengthy hearings with the
County's Department Heads and Officials.
The total salaries budget represents a 17.7% increase over the 1968 budget, but only a $4,532
increase over the Tentative 1969 Budget. The major reasons for this increase are the 65 new positions
and the salaries increases which are based en the County's annual Salary Survey. These salary adjust-
ments account for $1,100,000 of the total salaries budget.
This cost includes the salary rates negotiated with Council 23 of the American Federation of
State, County and Municipal. Employees, AFL-C10, which represents the employees of the Sheriff's Department,
Probate Court and the Building Operations (Custodial) Division. The approval of this budget constitutes
the approval of the economic portion of the contracts covering these bargaining units for the year 1969.
Prior to the printing and preparation of the 1969 Budget, the negotiating team for the Case-
workers of the Probate Court and the County negotiating team, reached an agreement on both a non-economic
and economic contract. This Budget as printed and distributed to members of the Board reflects that
agreement. Subsequently, however, the employees of the Caseworker unit refused to ratify either of these
agreements.
Mr. Chairman, I move the acceptance of this report as the official recommendation from the
Personnel Policies Committee and the Board of Auditors, for consideration as part of the total 1969
Budget as submitted by the Ways and Means Committee, with the following changes resulting from the
ratification refusal as described above:
1. Reduce the salaries appropriation of Probate-Juvenile Court by $36,500 and Probate-Children's
Village by $4,000 and place these amounts in the Contingent. Fund. These amounts had been originally
placed in this budget to provide for the negotiated salary increases for -the Caseworker unit.
2. Continue the approved 1968 salary ranges instead of the proposed 1969 ranges for the
following classifications for the 1969 budget year: Child Welfare worker 1, Child welfare worker 11,
Juvenile Court Intake Worker, Boy's Boarding Home Supervisor.
If the 1969 increases for these classes were approved, the County could be subject to an unfair
labor practice charge under the provisions of the Public Employee Relations Act.
3. Offer the upgraded Life Insurance Plan (as described on Page VI -1 of this report) to all
qualified County employees except those in the above described classifications.

NEW POSITIONS
This recommendation includes 65 new positions out of the 128 requested by the County's Depart-
ments. It is quite likely that more new positions would have been recommended if salary adjustments
hadn't demanded such a high priority.
As usual., the Health Department (14 positions granted out of 32 requested) and the Sheriff's
Department (12 granted out of 26 requested) received the bulk of the new positions, to assist them in
coping with their fast growing problems in greater depth.
The Board of Auditors seven new positions are split between four of its divisions to increase
auditing and budgetary control, to further implement the Merit System and to cope with additional County
collections which have been channeled through the Reimbursement Division.
The five new positions granted the Department of Public Works will be charged to projects and
the three positions added to the Circuit Court-Probation Department will allow a much closer supervision
of probationers. The remaining new positions were mainly granted to cope with the increased County
population.
A detailed description of the work to be performed by each recommended new position, the reasons
the position is needed, and similar descriptions of the positions requested but not recommended appear on
the smallest colored page for each department in the budget document. The summary sheet on Page II of
this report shows the distribution of new positions among the various County departments. The "Comparison
with Previous Budgets" chart on Page VIII of this report shows the number of new positions granted in
recent budgets.
IMMEDIATE EFFECT
Because of emergency needs, approval of the following new positions was requested to be made
effective the date the 1969 Budget is approved, instead of waiting until the first of the year. The
Board of Auditors and the Personnel Policies Committee recommend that this approval be granted for the
following new positions and that the budgets of these departments be allowed an overdraft to these amounts.
NUMBER CLASSIFICATION DEPARTMENT COST FROM 10/7/68
One Typist Ti Auditors-Reimbursement $1,225
One Probation Officer Circuit Court-Probation 3,600
One KennaIman Animal Welfare 1,650
One Departmental Clerk Prosecuting Attorney 1,425
One Clerk II Sheriff 1,200
These positions are included among the 65 new positions recommended for 1969.
SALARY ADJUSTMENTS
The County is caught up in an inflationary wage spiral in which it is too small an employer to
significantly influence salary trends but in which it is necessary for the County to compete to attract
and hold quality employees.
The salary adjustments included in this recommendation are based on:
The County's turnover and recruiting experience during the first eight months of 1968.
The wage patterns being established both locally and nationally.
The results of the County's Annual Salary Survey which this year covered 175 different
job classifications and surveyed eight Michigan Counties, eleven comparable Counties elsewhere in the
United States, fifteen cities, five school districts, five hospitals, three colleges, eight private
employers, two United Funds and the State of Michigan.
Negotiations with Council 23 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal
Employees, AFL-CIO, which represents certain employees of the Sheriff's Department, Probate Court and
the Building Operations (Custodial) Division.
The specific amount of the salary adjustments are shown on the larger colored sheets for each
department in the budget document, on which the 1968 and recommended 1969 salary ranges are shown for
each job classification. Generally speaking, the adjustments range from a minimum of $400 per year up
to $3,000 for some of the County's physician classifications where some positions have gone vacant for
over two years. The cost of the raises is approximately $1,100,000.
The amount spent for salary adjustments in recent years is shown in the "Comparison with
Previous Budgets" Chart on Page VIII of this report.
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.
The $48,170 included for Emergency Salaries in this recommendation compares with $52,100
budgeted in 1968.
OVERTIME RESERVE
The creation of an overtime reserve within the Salaries Reserve Fund allows funds to be set
aside for the payment of overtime without committing them to particular departments. Such funds are
transferred into departmental budgets at the end of each month, to cover the actual cost of overtime
worked during that month. $200,000 was budgeted for this purpose in 1968 and $108,443 was spent in
the first seven months.

3.25 2,500 under 4,000 4,000
The insurance plan will continue to be a combination of paid-up insurance purchased by the
employee and term insurance purchased by the County to cover the difference between the amount of paid-up
insurance and the total amount of coverage.
The proposed coverage, which includes double indemnity for the first time, will make the County's
Employee Life Insurance package much more competitive in the recruitment market.
The County has offered the Life Insurance Coverage to employees since 1950. The last change in
the amount of coverage was in 1961. The cost of the increased coverage is reflected both in the amount
the employee pays each month and in the employer's contribution which has been increased by $37,500 in
the non-departmental appropriations.

IN RE: AIRPORT COMMITTEE REPORT
To th Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Lv..,airman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Oakland County Airport Committee consists of three menthers of the Oakland County Board of
S-servisors. By law, the Airport Committee is a legal identity as provided in Act 90-1913 as amended
by A -t 275-1939.
In Act 90, there are many requirements the Committee must fulfill each year. One of the
requirements is to make an annual report to the Board of Supervisors as to the condition of the airport
or landing field property, and the expenditure of funds.
This report is submitted to the members of the Oakland County Board of Supervisors in an
effort to keep them advised as to the progress and future developments of the County owned airports.
During the time it takes to read this report, 1675 general aviation airplanes will land or
take off at the 309 airports in the United States where air traffic is counted. Seven new student
pilot licenses will be issued, and two new general aviation aircraft will be delivered. General aviation
airplanes in the air during the next twenty minutes will travel more than 135,000 miles, a distance
greater than five times around the world.
General aviation includes the aerial application plane which treats one out of every six acres
of tillable land and helps to make the food on your table better and less expensive; the businessman
travelling to and from a city or county in his own or company's plane making decisions affecting the
welfare of thousands of employees and citizens, the man and his family on a vacation trip, the air
ambulance flying a mercy mission, a relaxing Sunday afternoon flight, or the urgency of a spare part
flown in to keep an assembly line running. So, general aviation is essential to many things. In the
United States, general aviation's fleet of 122,000 active airplanes is 56 times greater than the total
operated by all United States airlines combined. In 1966, the most recent year for which complete data
is available, general aviation aircraft flew more than 21 million hours, four times more than all air-
lines combined, and while doing this flew more than 3.3 billion miles.
The growth of general aviation and public air transportation is conservatively forecast to
reach 252,000 aircraft by 1977. The commercial airlines will expect to have a total of 3,000 aircraft
while general aviation will operate 249,000.
Airports in Oakland County presently serve general aviation. Therefore, the citizens and
businesses of Oakland County using general aviation as a part of their daily existence must have
adequate facilities. If Oakland County, one of America's fastest growing counties, is to keep abreast
of its aviation demands and expects the present and future businesses to grow, then the demands for
improvement of present and future aviation facilities must be met now, and plans for future facilities
started immediately.
Elected and appointed officials must recognize the present and future demands that are now,
and will be, placed upon the County for airport development. If Oakland County wants to remain compe-
titive for future economic growth, the aviation needs of its citizens and businesses must be met, and
action taken to accomplish these goals.
To further substantiate the overall need, the following information is revealed by Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) records kept at the Oakland-Pontiac Airport. The FAA air traffic control
1500
Supervisors Minutes Continued. November 12, 1968
records show that 173,587 operations have been recorded between January 1, 1968 and September 30, 1968.
For the nine months recorded, this represents an average of 19,287 operations per month. Predictions
indicate air traffic operations for the last three months of 1968 will continue to average 19,287 oper-
ations per month, or an additional 57,861 operations, making a total of approximately 231,448 operations
for 1968 at the Oakland-Pontiac Airport as compared to 200,758 operations in 1967. This represents an
increase of 30,690 operations in 1968.
The 1967 master plan for the Oakland-Pontiac Airport designates a maximum capacity of 300,000
operations per year. As stated in the master plan, the maximum operations can be accomplished only if
the recommended improvements are made.
If the next two years show an annual increase of 30,003 operations exceeding the previous year,
then the maximum capacity at the Oakland-Pontiac Airport will be reached by 1970, and it will be imper-
ative that another facility be made available to accommodate the overflow.
The condition of aviation facilities at both airports is excellent, and this includes both
buildings and landing areas. The Buildings and Grounds Committee of the Oakland County Board of Super-
visors inspected both airports and gave their stamp of approval.
Oakland-Orion Airport is operated by Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred McGran by means of a lease agreement
with the County. The lease provides that the airport is operated without cost to the County. There are
279 acres used to operate the facility in its present statuS. Total acreage owned adjacent and nearby
the airport totals 599 acres that is planned to be used for future development.
Oakland-Orion Airport offers the following related aviation services: Terminal building, flight
instruction, aircraft maintenance, and av/gas service. There are 74 aircraft permanently based at the
airport, and 46 of these are accommodated in t-hangars. Sod runways and taxiways accommodate aircraft
taking off and landing on the field.
Master plans for both Oakland-Pontiac and Oakland-Orion Airports are under consideration of
the Federal Aviation Administration.
The following is a resume of events that have highlighted aviation activities in Oakland County
from January 1, 1968 through September 30, 1968:

IN RE: 1969 LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM REPORT, COUNTY OF OAKLAND
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Your Legislative Committee, at its meeting on November 4, 1968, considered numerous items
forwarded by County Departments and Elected Officials, requesting inclusion in the 1969 County Legislative
Program and herewith presents the fel:owing recommendations:
1. Legislation amending Act 326, P. A. 1968 to restore the power of appointment of Jury
Commissioners to the Board of Supervisors. Presently, the act erovides fcr appointment of Jury
Commissioners by the Governor upon recommendation of the Circuit Judges.
Moved by Slavens sepported by Miller that Item #1 be adopted.
A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the motion carried.
2. Permissive legislation that would require a blanket bond for Sheriff's Deputies. Presently
the law requires that each deputy give bond. A blanket bond would be much cheaper for the County and just
as much protection for the People of the State of Michigan.
Moved by Slavens supported by Bingham that Item #2 be adopted.
A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the motion carried.
3. Legislation that would require the State Tax Commission to file a form with the Schools,
County, Township or City when any changes in State Equalized Valuations are made by the State Tax
Commission.
Moved by Slavens supported by J. Kephart that Item 43 be adopted.
A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the motion carried.
4. Amendatory legislation to provide that consideration be shown on the face of property deeds.
Moved by Slavens supported by Perinoff that Item #4 be adopted.
A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the motion carried.
5. Amending the statute governing contagious diseases which would eliminate the cost respons-
ibility of the County where the contagious disease was found and hospitalized. Presently the statute
requires the charge for contagious hospitalization to be that of the County "where found" and further
this statute has been outdated by Title XIX which covers payment for all needed hospitalization.
Moved by Slavens supported by Mainland that Item #5 be adopted.
A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the motion carried.
6. Legislation that would provide for the reimbursement to Counties of Grand Jury expenses
when such Grand Juries are initiated by the Attorney General's Office.
Moved by Slavens supported by Melstrom that Item 6 be adopted.
A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the motion carried.
SUPPORT RECOMMENDATIONS:
There were many other legislative items considered and your Legislative Committee recommends
support of the following:
Probate Court and Probate Juvenile Amendment of the State Law relative to foster care for
children whereby the present "basic amount" to be paid by the County would be eliminated. This would
authorize the State the participate in the cost of child care on a matching basis from the expenditure
of the first dollar by the County on a basis of 75% state and 25% county, rather than the present
50/50 matching formula.
Moved by Slavens supported by Bingham the foregoing item be approved.
A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the motion carried.
Legislation that would provide adequate funds by which an Intermediate School District may
independently finance the operation of school programs for Court wards.
Moved by Slavens supported by Bryant the foregoing item be approved.
A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the motion carried.
1502
Supervisors Minutes Continued. November 12, 1968
The following County Road Commission recommendations are listed as presented to your Legis-
lative Committee:
1. Uniform Bidding Bill (56-1226 in 1968 session). The bill attempted to establish uniform
policy and procedures for competitive bidding, award and performance of contracts for materials and
equipment purchases. The idea is very commendable but among other things it would require the con-
tracting agency to establish "prevailing wage rates". It would also reduce considerably the type
and amount of work we could perform with our own forces and would greatly increase the amount of paper
work, plan preparation and time delay for advertising. We know that Oakland County Department of Public
Works is against this bill and we take the same position.
2. Existing statutes provide that "construction on county local roads must be matched by
others". There have been attempts to eliminate this requirement but we wane the requirement to remain
in effect. We average over $400,000 per year of participation by townships and others on various
matching projects for "local road" construction. In view of the tremendous amount of construction
needed on the 1750 mile local road system and the limited gas weight tax funds available, local funds
are an absolute necessity.
3. From time to time in the past, legislation has been introduced which would shift the pay-
ments for county drains (county road benefit) from the county general fund to gas and weight tax funds of
the Road Commission. We oppose this proposal for obvious reasons which include the fact that Oakland
County and the Board of Supervisors has a considerable responsibility for financing county roads which
for the most part, has not been recognized.
4. We support legislation to limit or eliminate the sale of "throw away" glass containers
of the type commonly used for soft drinks, beer and other liquids. The safety hazard which they create
on our highways and the expense of picking them up is substantial and completely unnecessary.
5. Legislation was proposed one or two years ago that would have made it mandatory for members
of the County Road Commission to be elected rather than appointed and it is possible that it will reappear
this year. We oppose the election of Road Commissioners on the basis that road construction should not
be subject to a large amount of political agitation. We also believe it would be contrary to recent
trends.
6. Every legislative year there are several requests to finance activities that are remotely
connected with road construction and maintenance from the restricted gas and weight tax funds which
provide the bulk of our revenue. In spite of constitutional limitations there is still a chance that
such activities as State Police, Drivers Education and so forth might be able to obtain some of our
already inadequate funds. Needless to say, we oppose any "raid" on these funds.
7. There have been attempts in recent years to pass legislation that would require the State
Highway Department to reimburse utility companies for any costs they might incur when required to
remove their facilities from a public road right-of-way. These utilities have been allowed to place
their facilities in public road right-of-ways for many years at no expense and any legislation that
would open the door toward making a road authority pay for relocation costs would not only be an unjust
expenditure of public funds but would seriously curtail road construction.
8. The Federal Congress is considering legislation that would increase allowable truck axle
loads and truck widths on the Interstate System. If it is approved, companion type legislation will
appear in our state legislature. Trucks in Michigan are already carrying gross loads that are twice
as much as allowed in all adjacent states; to increase this further or to allow them to be 6 inches
wider is unthinkable, but it could happen.
Moved by Slavens supported by Valentine the recommendations of the Road Commission be adopted.
A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the motion carried.
Michigan Association of Animal Control Officers re: Michigan State Dog Law
Compulsory rabies vaccination law, proof of vaccination by a valid certificate showing breed,
sex, age, color and markings of such dog.
Additions to the State Dog Law to provide the power to Dog Wardens, Deputies and all law
enforcement officers to issue a summons to the violator for any infraction of the Dog Law. Also, a
law whereby upon the request of the Dog Warden or his Deputy or any law enforcement officer, a dog owner
or any person who shall harbor a dog must show proof of valid dog license.
Raise Kennel License fees as follows: 10 dogs, $10.00; 11 to and including 25 dogs, $20.00;
over 25 dogs, $50.00; providing that delinquent penalty fees shall be double the original kennel license
fee after June 1st. Also, when application is made for kennel license, applicant should present approval
in writing from the local zoning board of the City, Township or County.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Legislative Committee of the Oakland County Board of Supervisors,
I move the adoption of the foregoing report of legislative items for inclusion in the 1969 County Legis-
lative Program and that certified copies of this report be forwarded by the County Clerk to the Oakland
County members of the Legislature requesting their cooperation and support.

Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Lyle E. Baker, citizen member of the Oakland County Retirement Commission, passed away on
September 12, 1968 at the age of 71 years. He resided at 735 N. Main Street in Clawson. Born on
November 26, 1896, he became a prominent pioneer son in Clawson and civic leader in South Oakland County.
Lyle Baker attended the old Log Cabin School in Clawson, Royal Oak high school and the Detroit
Business Institute. His profession was that of real estate appraiser with offices located in Royal Oak.
He was active in the Rotary Club, having held a perfect attendance record for 34 years,
hospital authorities and for 29 years was a member of the Clawson School Board, starting as a member of
the original board in 1924.
Mr. Baker had a record of outstanding work in a long list of civic organizations. He was
active in Oakland County Chapter 141 and Greater Detroit Chapter 13 of the Society of Real Estate
Appraisers, and was Chairman of the North Woodward Board of Realtors. He also served as a member of
the Oakland County Crippled Children's Association.
He served as the citizen member of the Oakland County Employees Retirement Commission from the
time it was established on January 1, 1946 until his death, and had been Chairman for the past ten years.
He was instrumental in the implementation of several changes in the retirement system that have accrued
increased benefits to present and future retirees.
Mr. Baker is survived by his wife Thelma; a son, Richard A. of Royal Oak; five grandchildren;
and a sister, Mrs. Charles (Mildred) Parady, of Clawson.
Lyle E. Baker was a dedicated man to his country, to his community and to his profession. He
gave of his time and resources in the interests of a better life for his fellow citizens, and he will
long be remembered by the many friends and associates who were privileged to know him.

foregoing memorial resolution be spread upon the proceedings of this meeting of the Oakland County Board,

IN RE: GOALS STATEMENT-HURON RIVER WATERSHED COUNCIL
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Huron River Watershed Council, of which Oakland County is a member, was established on
March 25, 1965 in accordance with Public Act 253 (1964) as amended. The Council consists of the official
representatives of the participating governmental units within the river basin. I represent Oakland
County by virtue of appointment by this Board in 1968. The Council has a responsibility to provide con-
structive leadership in the protection and development of the Huron River as a natural resource. To this
end a "Goals Statement", copies of which were mailed to all Board members, sets forth some basic objectives
and guidelines of activities and actions for the Huron River Watershed Council until such time as changes
in circumstances or conditions in the river basin necessitate modificataon or restatement.
Nothing in this "Goals Statement" shall be in any manner interpreted as in conflict with the
letter or intent of the Public Act 253 under which the Council was formed. Likewise nothing in this state-
ment of goals is to be construed as committing any participating governmental unit to actions, now or in
the future, which are in conflict with the best judgment and authority of the governing body of any govern-
mental unit. It is recognized also that future technological progress, survey and research findings and
governmental regulations must be taken into account in projecting any schedule of attainment of the stated
ideals. Like the Council, the strength and influence of this statement of goals is dependent upon the
interest, cooperation, support and implementation by the representatives to the Council and by their member
governmental units. All other participating units have approved the statement.
The realization of any one of these goals calls for bold and progressive decisions and actions
by County, Township and City governmental bodies within the basin. Implementation of these goals will also
call for agressive support and cooperation from State and Federal Departments and Agencies involved in the
total area of water resources. In addition to support and cooperation of governmental bodies, the attain-
ment of these goals necessitates support by individuals, property owners, businesses, industries, as well
as private and civic associations and organizations.
The goals pertain to waste water disposal, storm water runoff and surface drainage, community
water supply, recreational use of water, irrigation and industrial use, conservation of natural resources
and wildlife, stream flow, flood plain control, water quality and public education and citizen participation.
The Drain Office and the Department of Public Works of Oakland County, also having representatives
on the Council, have aided in the formulation of the Statement of Goals. The Drain Committee and the
hoard of Public Works having reviewed this statement, have approved and recommend its approval by the
aak:and County Board of Supervisors.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the "Water Use and Resource Management Goals for the Huron River
Watarahed" as formulated by the Huron River Watershed Council, dated May, 1968, and having been approved
thb legislative bodies of all the other participating governmental units, be and hereby is approved
by the Oakland County Board of Supervisors.

IN RE: RETIREMENT AMENDMENT - COST OF LIVING
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Employees Retirement System has heretofore made no provision for a
cost of living increase for retirees, and
Supervisors Minutes Continued. December 23, 1968
WHEREAS the cost-of-living increases have created a hardship on persons on retired fixed
income, and
WHEREAS the concept of retirement is to allow a retiree to live comfortable without undue
hardship, and
WHEREAS your Committees believe and recommend to this Board that the Retirement Plan should
provide a post retirement benefit increase scaled to a cost-of-living, and
WHEREAS your Committee further recommends that the re-determination of benefits be made retro-
active at the rate of 1% for each full year of retirement in an amount not to exceed 10%,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Employees Retirement System be and is
amended by adding a section identified as "SECTION 34.1(a)", a copy of which is attached hereto and
made a part hereof, which provides for a re-determination of the amount of benefits conditioned upon
the average of the consumers price index;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a re-determination of benefits be made for each retiree amounting
to 1% for each full year of retirement, not to exceed IVY.,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that to effectuate said amendment it will be necessary to appropriate
the additional sum of $176,550 to the Oakland County Employees Retirement System from the 1968 unappro-
priated surplus,
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Ways and Means Committee, and with the concurrence of the
Personnel Policies Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

A PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE OAKLAND COUNTY EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH A PROGRAM
FOR POST-RETIREMENT BENEFIT INCREASES
Section 34.1. (a) For a monthly benefit becoming effective on or after January I, 1969 and beginning
with the May first which is at least 12 full months after the effective date of the benefit, the amount
of the benefit shall be redetermined effective each May first and such redetermined amount shall be
payable for the ensuing year. Subject to the maximum stated in the next sentence, such redetermined
amount shall be the amount of the benefit otherwise payable multiplied by the following percent: 100.0
percent, plus 1.5 percent for each full year (excluding any fraction of a year) in the period from the
effective date of the benefit to the current May first. In no event shall such redetermined amount
(i) be less than the amount of the benefit otherwise payable nor (1i) be more than the amount of the
benefit otherwise payable multiplied by the following fraction: the numerator shall be the average of
the Consumer Price Index for the 12 calendar months in the calendar year immediately preceding such
May first (but in no event an amount less than the denominator below) and; the denominator shall be the
average of the Consumer Price Index for the 12 calendar months in the calendar year immediately preceding
the effective date of the benefit. "The amount of the benefit otherwise payable" means the monthly
amount of benefit which would be payable disregarding these provisions redetermining benefit amounts
after retirement.
(b) As used herein "Consumer Price Index" means the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners
and Clerical Workers, as determined by the United States Department of Labor and in effect January 1,
1968; provided, should such Consumer Price Index be restructured subsequent to 1968 in a manner
materially changing its character, the Commission after receiving the advice of the Actuary shall change
the application of the Consumer Price Index so that as far as is practicable the 1968 intent of the use
of the Consumer Price Index shall be continued,
(c) For a monthly benefit which became effective before January 1, 1969 beginning with the
monthly benefit payment, if any, for the month of January 1969, the amount of the monthly benefit shall
be increased by 1% for each full year (excluding any fraction of a year) in the period from the effective
date of the benefit to January 1, 1969, to a maximum increase of 10%. In addition, beginning May 1, 1969
the amount of the benefit shall be redetermined effective each May first and such redetermined amount
shall be payable for the ensuing year. Subject to the maximum stated in the next sentence, such rede-
termined amount shall be the amount of the benefit otherwise payable multiplied by the following percent:
100.0 percent, plus 1.5 percent for each full year (excluding any fraction of a year) in the period from
May 1, 1969 to the current May first. In no event shall such redetermined amount 0) be less than the
amount of the benefit otherwise payable nor (ii) be more than the amount of the benefit otherwise payable
multiplied by the following fraction: the numerator shall be the average of the Consumer Price Index for
the 12 calendar months in the calendar year immediately preceding such May first (but in no event an
amount less than the denominator below) and; the denominator shall be the average of the Consumer Price
Index for the 12 calendar months in the calendar year 1967. "The amount of the benefit otherwise
payable" means the monthly amount of benefit which would be payable disregarding these provisions
redetermining benefit amounts on and after May 1, 1969.
(d) in no event shall the pension portion of annual benefits payable to a retirant, or payable
to beneficiaries on behalf of a deceased member, exceed the greater of (i) $2,400 and (ii) 2% of the
former member's final average compensation multiplied by his years of credited service not to exceed
25 years; except, for an age and service retirant the $2,400 amount next above shall be $1,800.
Moved by Levinson supported by Hursfall the resolution be adopted.
