IN RE: AIR POLLUTION CONTROL AND ABATEMENT
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The fast growth of Oakland County has been bountiful, in many respects, to all its people. The
ideal aspects of an environment are found within Oakland County: jobs, homes, commercial-industrial activity,
and recreational means are present so that they complement and reinforce each other.
The urbanization of the County in its various aspects also creates problems. One such problem
is air pollution. This subject has received very little attention before. Now it is considered such a
threat that will become a dooms-day menace that will affect the whole world, or what we call civilization 4111 as we know it today.
The next few years will be crucial to our lives and our future generation; to the air we breathe
today and our health and the well-being of our off-spring tomorrow.
The recent action of Federal and State Agencies by enforcement citations will force local
governments into a scatter-gun, piece-meal approach to the problem. Then it will become apparent that a
regional approach is necessary to this problem.
County government is big enough in land mass, tax base, resource material, and trained people to
cope with this problem and is a representative form of government responsive to its own people.
To avoid the scatter-gun approach we must develop and provide the orderly and effective control
of this problem consistent with the economic well-being of Oakland County.
That the County Board of Supervisors should develop a study of air pollution; its scope, available
information within this region, the Detroit Region with its inter-related problems, agencies, the present
community participation, the present method of funding, the available funds and grants that can be applied
to this problem, and the legal problems the County will encounter in dealing with this problem.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the County of Oakland study and develop an effective program of
Air Pollution, and our major objectives should be:
1. Systematic and orderly development of a single pollution control system for Oakland County.
2. The necessary administrative and financial capability to develop with the growth and welfare
of the County.
3. To insure the well-being and continued uninterrupted growth and progress within Oakland County
and that all communities would be represented by the County Board of Supervisors through this new Board.
Mr. Chairman, I move that this resolution be referred to the Regional Affairs Committee so that
it can report back to this Board or its appropriate Committees what has been done by others on the follow-
ing subjects:
1. Area Wide Approaches - Relationship of air pollution management to environmental quality
control; need for an area-wide approach to insure a comprehensive program; advantages of intergovernmental
cooperation.
2. Legal Authority - Authority needed by County government to implement State and Federal laws;
adoption of rules and standards for regulation of public and private operations.
3. Planning - Who plans, the planning process, financing the plan, new tools, and implementation.
4. Organization - Operating responsibilities, local governmental functions, and organizational
structure.
5. Design and Operation - Collection, storage, transfer, processing and method of disposal.
6. Financing - Revenue sources: taxes, bonds, loans, grants, service charges, financial planning,
7. Technical and Financial Assistance - Dependent upon Federal and State and private technical
assistance and research; available sources- Technical and Financial.
8. Citizen Support - Need for public support, sources of opposition, communicating through the
media; effective governmental action speaks louder than words.

Mr. Grba requested that the resolution be referred to the Regional Affairs Committee. There
were no objections.

IN RE: OAKLAND COUNTY EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM REVISED ELIGIBILITY AMENDMENT
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Sections 22, 25, 26, 38 and 42 of the Oakland County Employees Retirement System presently
contain the provisions applying to Voluntary Retirement, Benefit Formulas and Members Contributions, and
WHEREAS your Committee recommends that Sections 22, 25, 26, 38 and 42 be amended as hereinafter
set forth,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Sections 22, 25, 26, 38 and 42 of the Oakland County Employees
Retirement System be and are hereby amended to read as follows:
Voluntary Retirement:
Section 22. Any member who (1) HAS ATTAINED AGE a YEARS AND HAS zi OR MORE YEARS OF CREDITED
SERVICE, OR (2) has attained xxx age 60 years and has xxx 8 or more years of credited service, may
retire upon his written application filed with the Commission setting forth at what time, not less than
30 days nor more than 90 days subsequent to the execution and filing thereof, he desires to be retired.
Upon his retirement he shall receive a retirement allowance provided in section 25.
Retirement Allowance
Section 25. (a) Upon a member's retirement as provided in this resolution, he shall receive a
straight life retirement allowance. Prior to the date of his retirement he may elect to receive his
retirement allowance under an option provided in section 27 in lieu of a straight life retirement
allowance. His straight life retirement allowance shall consist of:
(1) An annuity which shall be the actuarial equivalent of his accumulated contributions standing
to his credit in the employees savings fund at the time of his retirement; and
(2) A pension which when added to his annuity will provide a retirement allowance equal to the
number of years, and fraction of a year, of his credited service multiplied by the sum of xxx 1.45
PERCENT of the first $4200 of his final average compensation and 1.7 percent of the portion, if any, of
his final average compensation which is in excess of $4200. His pension provided in this paragraph
shall not exceed $1800 a year or 1/2 of his final average compensation, whichever is greater.
(b) According to such rules and regulations as the Commission may from time to time adopt, any
member who retires prior to his attainment of age 65 years may elect to have his straight life retire-
ment allowance actuarially equated to provide an increased retirement allowance payable to his attain-
ment of age 65 years and a reduced retirement allowance payable thereafter. His increased retirement
allowance payable to his attainment of age 65 years shall approximate the sum of his reduced retirement
allowance to be payable after his attainment of age 65 years and his estimated social security primary
insurance amount. This xxx SUBSECTION shall not apply to a member who retires prior to his attainment
of age 60 years, or who elects to receive his retirement allowance under an option provided in section 27.
Deferred Retirement:
Section 26. Should any member with 8 or more years of credited service leave the employ of the
County prior to the date he has satisfied the age and service requirements for retirement provided in
section 22, for any reason except his disability retirement or death, he shall be entitled to a retire-
ment allowance provided in section 25 as the section was in effect at the time he left County employ-
ment. His retirement allowance shall begin as of the date his application for same is filed with the
Commission, but not prior to xxx HIS ATTAINMENT OF AGE 60 YEARS; provided, that his xxx application
shall not be filed with the Commission prior to 90 days preceding xxx HIS ATTAINMENT OF AGE 60 YEARS,
In the event he withdraws his accumulated contributions from the employees savings fund he shall there-
upon forfeit his right to a deferred retirement allowance provided in this section. In no case shall
he receive service credit for the period of his absence from the County employment, except as xxx
provided in this resolution. Until the beginning date of his retirement allowance has accumulated
contributions standing to his credit in the employees savings fund shall be credited with regular
interest.
Employees Savings Fund:
Section 38. (a) The employees savings fund is hereby continued. It shall be the fund in which
shall be accumulated, at regular interest, the contributions deducted from the compensations of members;
and from which shall be made refunds and transfers of accumulated contributions, as provided in this
resolution.
(b) UNTIL MARCH 1, 1970 a member's contributions to the retirement system shall be
the sum of 3 percent of the first $4200 of his annual compensation and 5 percent of the portion, if any,
of his annual compensation which is in excess of $4200. FROM AND AFTER FEBRUARY 28, 1970 A MEMBER'S
CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE RETIREMENT SYSTEM SHALL BE 5 PERCENT OF HIS COMPENSATION. The officer or officers
responsible for preparing the payroll shall cause the contributions provided for herein to be deducted
from the compensation of each member on each and every payroll, for each and every payroll period, so
long as he continues to be a member.
(c) The contributions provided for herein shall be made notwithstanding that the
minimum compensation provided by law for any member shall be changed thereby. Every member shall be
deemed to consent and agree to the contributions made and provided for herein. Payment of his
compensation less said deduction shall be a full and complete discharge and acquittance of all claims
and demands whatsoever for services rendered by him during the period covered by such payment, except
as to benefits provided in this resolution. The officer or officers responsible for preparing the
payroll shall certify to the Board of Auditors on each and every payroll the amount of contribution to
be deducted from the compensation of each member and each of said amounts shall be deducted and when
deducted shall be paid to the retirement system and shall be credited to the individual employees
savings fund account of the member from whose compensation said deduction was made.
300
301
Supervisors Minutes Continued. February 5, 1970
(d) In addition to the contribution deducted from the compensation of a member, as hereinbefore
provided, a member shall deposit in the employees savings fund, by a single contribution or by an in-
creased rate of contribution as approved by the Commission, the amount, if any, he withdrew from the
fund, together with regular interest from the date of withdrawal to the date of repayment. In no case
shall any member be given credit for service rendered prior to the date he withdrew his accumulated
contributions until he returns to the employees savings fund all amounts due the fund by him.
(e) Upon the retirement of a member his accumulated contributions shall be transferred from the
employees savings fund to the retirement reserve fund. At the expiration of a period of 3 years from
the date an employee ceases to be a member any balance standing to his credit in the employees savings
fund, unclaimed by the member or his legal representative, shall be transferred to the income fund.
Investment of Assets:
Section 42. (a) The Commission shall be the trustees of the assets of the retirement system and
shall have full power to invest and reinvest such assets in accordance with the provisions of Act No. 314
of the Public Acts of 1965, AS AMENDER, and as the act might from time to time be amended or xxx
SUPERSEDED. xxx .
(b) The Commission shall have full power to hold, sell, assign, transfer and dispose of any
securities and investments in which any of the moneys of the retirement system have been invested as
well as the proceeds of said investments and any moneys belonging to the system.
(c) The Commission shall keep on deposit available cash not to exceed 5 percent of the total
assets of the retirement system. All assets of the system shall be held for the sole purpose of meeting
disbursements for annuities, pensions, retirement allowances and other payments authorized by this
resolution and shall be used for no other purpose. The description of the various funds of the system
shall be interpreted to refer to the accounting records of the system and not to the segregation of
assets in the funds of the system.

going resolution.

Project 69-13
Work Order 468 February 17, 1970
DESCRIPTION:
The work under this project consists of minor architectural work required to make better use of the
office areas in the Supervisors' Auditorium and some major mechanical alterations to correct the heat-
ing and cooling problems in the perimeter offices. This estimate includes two alternate cost figures
for architectural alterations.

$7,500.00 $8,400.00 $10,000.00
*Funds have been allocated by the Board of Supervisors for Base Bid.
ORIGINAL BASE BID
Description:
The original Base Bid work calls for the placement of a new door into room "3" thereby giving
it direct access to the corridor. This room would be used as a storage facility. The existing storage
room, room "7", would be converted into an office for one of the clerks. This would relieve some of
the congestion in the existing clerks' office, room "6".
BASE BID PLUS ALTERNATE NO. 1
Description:
Besides placement of the new door into room "3", called for by the Base Bid work, a new door
would also be placed between rooms "6" and "7 11 . Under this plan, room "3" would be used as an office-
conference area and room "7" would continue to be used as a storage room. The advantage to this type of
an arrangement is that now the clerks would have more direct access to the storage facility.
BASE BID PLUS ALTERNATE NO. 2
Description:
Besides placement of the new door into room "3", called for by the Base Bid work, a new wall
as well as a new door would be added to room "7". Room "3" would continue to be used as an office-con-
ference area and room "7" as a storage facility. This plan is more costly because of the extra floor
space which is enclosed in room "7".

chart and change the cost to $10,000.00.

If in any year of this Lease or fractional year the total amount arrived at by applying the
percentages set forth above is less than the total dollar amount of the Minimum Rent provided to be paid

operation and at the end of each three (3) month period thereafter.
All Percentage Rent provided to be payable hereunder for a year or fractional year shall be

In Percentage Rent, and the net Percentage Rent, if any, owing hereunder for such year. Provided that if
at the end of any quarter it be determined that Lessee has paid for said year to such date a greater sum
than would have been payable under the provisions hereof for said portion of such year, Lessee shall have
credit for such excess payment against the rental, including minimum rental, subsequently falling due.
Lessor shall have the right at any time within two (2) years thereafter to have the books and
records of Lessee audited during reasonable hours. Any additional Percentage Rent found due by such audit
shall be paid to Lessor within thirty (30) days and shall bear interest at the rate of seven (7) percent
per annum from the date such payment was due until paid; and if Lessee has overpaid such rent, Lessee
shall deduct such excess from the rent next falling due.
Lessee shall maintain records of its Gross Receipts at a place accessible to the Lessor. Such
records shall be maintained for a period of at least twenty-seven (27) months following the end of the
rent year and shall be made available to Lessor, acting through its Director of Aviation, for audit or
review on request during usual business hours.

the public enemy, or other casualty, but not rendered untenantable, the same shall be repaired with due
diligence by the Lessor at its awn cost and expense. If the damage shall be so extensive as to render
such premises untenantable, but capable of being repaired in thirty (30) days, the same shall be repaired
with due diligence by the Lessor at its own cost and expense, and the rent payable herein shall be pro-
portionately paid up to the time of such damage and thereafter cease until such time as the premises are
fully restored. In the event the premises are completely destroyed by fire, explosion, the elements, the

ARTICLE XVIII
NON-WAIVER
Any waiver of any breach of covenants herein contained to be kept and performed by the Lessees

IN RE: OAKLAND-ORION AIRPORT, REQUEST TO RETURN MONEY TO ORION TOWNSHIP
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Miscellaneous Resolution No. 5227 was referred to this Committee; and
WHEREAS the Committee requested an opinion of the Corporation Counsel as to the legality of the
payment of the sum of $31,750.32 to the Township of Orion; and
WHEREAS the Opinion, a copy of which is attached hereto, states that the County may not make
such payment to the Township of Orion and to do so would be an illegal act.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the request contained in Miscellaneous Resolution No. 5227 for
the payment of the sum of $31,750.32 to the Township of Orion be and the same is hereby denied.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Aviation and Transportation Committee, I move the adoption of
the foregoing resolution.
AVIATION AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
Mahlon Benson, Jr., George N. Grba, Thomas H. O'Donoghue,
E. Frank Richardson, James Mathews
Moved by Mathews supported by Aaron that Resolution No. 5227 for payment of the sum of
$31,750.32 be denied.
Discussion followed.
Upon request of Mr. O'Brien, Mr. Mathews read the opinion of Robert P. Allen, Corporation
Counsel on Misc. Resolution No. 5227.
December 23, 1969
You have referred Miscellaneous Resolution No. 5227 to this office for an opinion as to whether the County
may legally do that which is requested by said Resolution No. 5227. Briefly, Miscellaneous Resolution
No. 5227 requires the County to pay back in full to the Township of Orion the sum of $31,750.32
Without determining whether said sum is the amount due not only to the Orion Township Government, but the
Orion School District and the County as well, I am of the opinion that the County may not pay back to the
Township of Orion the sum of $31,750.32. I reach this conclusion because the property in question is ex-
empt by virtue of the provisions of M. S. A. 7.7 which reads as follows:
"7.7 PROPERTY EXEMPT FROM TAXATION. Sec. 7 The following property shall be exempt from
taxation:" 11 You will note that the language quoted states that property shall be exempt from taxation. When the word 4111 "shall" is used in a command to a public official, it excludes the idea of discretion. (See Ladies of
the Maccabees v. Commissioner of Insurance, 235 Mich. 459.)
Further, the general rule in Michigan pertaining to whether "shall" is mandatory or permissive is to be
found in Sauder v. District Board of School District No. 10, Royal Oak Township, Oakland County, 271 Mich.
413, wherein the rule is set forth that the word "shall" as used in a Statute will be construed as mean-
ing "may" where no public or private right is impaired by such construction. But, where the public are
•
333
Supervisors Minutes Continued. March 5, 1970
interested or where the public or third persons have a claim de jur that the act shall be done, it is im-
perative and will be construed to mean "must". The public, i.e. the people of Oakland County, has an
IIIIT
Interest in the tax exemption status of the Oakland-Orion Airport.
herefore, I am of the opinion that the word "shall" as used in M.S.A. 7.7 is mandatory, not discretion-
ary; and therefore the property must have been taken off and still must be deleted from the tax roll.
I am further of the opinion that in the absence of express Statutory authority authorizing the County to
make a donation to a township wherein county-owned tax exempt property lies; and I find no such express
authority, that it would be an illegal act on the part of the County and its Board of Supervisors to
appropriate money for that purpose.
Trusting the foregoing answers your inquiry, I am
Very truly yours,

To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
r. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS House Bill 3730 provides an increase in the interest rate charged on delinquent taxes
from one-half (1/2) of one (1) per cent to three-quarters (3/4) of one (1) per cent per month; and
WHEREAS House Bill 3730 is an attempt to alleviate a serious problem resulting from the failure
334

of some large property ownders, in all areas of the State, to pay their taxes on time but choose to pay
a delinquent tax penalty at the rate of six (6) percent per year rather than diverting a portion of their
ill capital which can be invested at a greater rate of return than six (6) percent per year; and
WHEREAS an across-the-board increase in the penalty rate would work hardship on smaller tax
payers who are unable to pay their taxes on time because-of economic conditions;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Supervisors supports the intent
of House Bill 3730 insofar as it increases the penalty of those who deliberately delay payment of taxes;
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Supervisors recommends to the Legis-
lature of the State of Michigan that the interest rate on delinquent taxes be established on the
following scale:
Delinquent Taxes in the amount of
$0 - $999.99 1/2 of 1% per month
$1,000.00 - $19,999.99 3/4 of 1% per month
$20,000.00 - and over 1% per month

M.S.A. 5.329) provides that the boards of supervisors shall publish a report of the proceedings of the
board in well established newspapers published in the county; and
WHEREAS the publication of this report serves very few citizens of this County and these
citizens could secure these reports from the office of the County Clerk; and
WHEREAS the cost of the printing of the Board of Supervisors' proceedings, as required by the
above cited Act, is an ever increasing cost to the County; and
WHEREAS the meetings of the Board of Supervisors are open to the public and are covered by press,

State Legislature to amend the above cited Act to provide that county boards of supervisors are required

the office of the county clerk, and further provide that copies of these reports shall be made available
to anyone desiring same.

IN RE: LEGISLATIVE INTENT RELATIVE TO CASH VALUATION ASSESSMENTS OF REAL PROPERTY AND TAXATION THEREOF
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS while it was the intent of the Legislature in enacting Act No. 410 of the Public Acts of
1965 to carry out the mandate of the Constitution, Article IX, Section 3, and impose a ceiling thereon,
it was not the intent of the Legislature that the tax rates on property should continue to be applied
without some reductions therein; and
WHEREAS many local and county officials and School Districts while raising the property tax
335
Supervisors Minutes Continued. March 5, 1970
assessments to the 50 percent factor as provided by Act No. 410 of the Public Acts of 1965, huve not
adjusted their rates accordingly and as a result many local governmental units and School Districts are
reaping increased amounts of general property taxes without a careful scrutiny of their budgets and that
downward trend in the tax rates which should have occurred when the assessed valuations increased; and
WHEREAS the State Legislature has before it a comparable resolution of which Oakland County
is supportive;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Oakland County Board of Supervisors that the Michigan
Legislature did not intend when they passed Act No. 410 of the Public Acts of 1965 that this would pro-
vide a mandate for local officials to spend, but rather it was a ceiling to be imposed on the assessed
valuation factor and it was assumed that local and county taxing officials and School Districts would
reduce their tax rates accordingly to bring in only the necessary taxes needed to effectively maintain
essential governmental and school services; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the members of the Oakland County Board of Supervisors urge local
units of government to re-examine, at the earliest time possible, their entire tax structures and the
tax rates being imposed on the real property of their taxing units and urge the taxing officials and
School Boards to reduce the rate of taxation being imposed on real estate property therein; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be spread upon the official minutes of
the proceedings of the Oakland County Board of Supervisors and copies of said resolution be sent to each
local unit of government and all School Districts within the County as an admonishment to them that
failure to heed this responsibility may well result in the loss to said units and districts, of their
present prerogatives regarding taxing and budgeting.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Legislative Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing
resolution.

area of Social Services. Every member of this Board of Supervisors is aware of the many problems it was
faced with in 1969 regarding the requests of ADC and general welfare recipients.
Many of these recipients have expressed a desire to become gainfully employed even though they
lacked in education, skills and other qualifications to make them competitive in the labor market.
Many have appealed to the County to implement more meaningful training programs so that a
general background could be attained that would provide them an opportunity to secure full or partial
employment so that they could become self sufficient iii time gaining confidence and determination to
become contributing citizens in the community.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Supervisors strongly urges the
Michigan Employment Securities Commission to make available job opportunities for ADC and welfare
recipients, and that the Legislative Committee of this Board recommend such legislation as is necessary

A FILM PROPOSAL ON OAKLAND COUNTY - PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
We propose a three phase filmed story on Oakland County to be I6MM and in color. The objectives
would be to inform the general public, students and businessmen about their County government; its past,
present and future, as it relates to them.
Phase I will consist of a 12 to 13 minute motion picture. Suggested story line "Oakland County
1820 - 1970.
We open with a series of photographs and drawings from the past of Oakland County. Landmarks,
dates, people, places, events, using authentic information from historical societies, newspaper archives,
private individuals, etc. Film covers up to today, with narration covering.
Up to today, we see the court house complex and cover other facilities such as airports, road
commission, parks, etc. Narration covers today's operation. We close this film on a reverse zoom of
the complex at night, giving a beautiful ending.
Phase II will consist of color 16MM footage and still photography of the different activities
of the Sesquicentennial celebration.
Phase III will be a continuation of the first film with Sesquicentennial footage added, along
with more detailed information on today's County government and a look into the future, rounding out a
total story on Oakland County in a 30 minute film. The study, "Preparing for change", Oakland County
1970-1990 will lead up to an ideal title for this second film, "Oakland County 1820 -1970 And Beyond".
The films would be distributed to schools, clubs and other organizations. They could also be
used as a public relations vehicle to attract new business to the county.
The first phase is especially important at this time to be used on conjunction with the
Sesquicentennial celebration and also with Michigan Week. However, these three phases will enable the
County to not only have a filmed record of its historical past, but will cover the Sesquicentennial
celebration as well. An overall story of Oakland County from its beginning to its projected future
will stimulate and provide the leadership required to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
These three phases are independent of each other, with the exception of Phase III, which is
dependent on Phases I and II.
Cost - Phase I, $12,000.00; Phase II, 16MM footage approximately $2000.00; still photography
approximately $1,000.00 (exact coverage not known at this time); Phase III, estimated, $15,000.00.

IN RE: MEMORIAL RESOLUTION FOR BURTON I. GORDIN
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The untimely passing of Burton I. Gordin has deeply shocked the State of Michigan.
Mr. Gordin served as Executive Director of the Michigan Civil Rights Commission, having been
appointed on April 1, 1964.
He was born on October 15, 1919, received his education at Temple University and Bryn Mawr
College in Pennsylvania, and was a former newspaper reporter for the Philadelphia Record.
Burton I. Gordin came to Michigan from his position as Executive Director of the Philadelphia
Commission on Human Relations. He served that agency as Senior Field Representative, Supervisor and
Deputy Director from its inception in 1952. From 1949 to 1952 he was employed by the Philadelphia Fair
Employment Practices Commission as Field Representative and Research Associate.
Mr. Gordin was a veteran of World War II, having held the rank of Captain in the Army Signal
Corps.
Surviving are his wife, Paula, and one child residing at 1551 Chateaufort Place in Detroit,
Michigan.
Burton I. Gordin was dedicated to the task of providing for minority group persons, in a way
that would uplift their hopes and their faith in the American way of life and he will be keenly missed
by all who were privileged to know him.
Mr. Chairman, I move that the foregoing memorial resolution be spread upon the minutes of this
meeting of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners and that the County Clerk forward a certified copy,
affixed with the County Seal, to the surviving wife, Paula.

Committee meeting of March 12, 1970 and were communicated to the Finance Committee on March 16, 1970.
Mr. Chairman, I move the acceptance of this report as the official recommendation from the
Personnel Practices Committee and the Board of Auditors, for consideration as part of the total 1,971
Allocation Budget as submitted by the Finance Committee.

*Actual D.P.W. Cost is $ 1,148,180, but it is anticipated that $ 1,058,180 will be charged to projects.
POSITIONS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED
The funds allocated for the cost of previously approved positions are placed directly in each
department's salaries budget. For the Allocation Budget, the cost of these "old positions are projected
by the County's computer at the current salary rates, but programmed to take into consideration such items
as advances through the merit steps of the salary range of each employee's classification and changes in
Service Increment pay which is based on length of County Service. The costing is made on the assumption
that the same employees will be filling the same position in 1971 as are filling them now. To allow for
savings resulting from positions being filled by new employees at lower salary steps than budgeted and
from some positions being unfilled during part of the year, a "Personnel turnover Adjustment" amount is
computed and deducted from the budget on the Index Page. For this budget that amount is $300,000.
SALARY RESERVE FUND
Funds allocated for new positions, emergency salaries, co-op positions, overtime reserve and
contingency adjustments are not placed directly into the departmental salaries budgets, but are instead
budgeted in the "Salaries Reserve Fund" which is an over-all fund not related to any particular depart-
ment. The "new positions" money is transferred when new positions are filled to cover only the portion
of the year remaining after they are filled. "Emergency Salaries" money, "Co-Op Student Position" money
and "Overtime Reserve" money is transferred into the departmental budgets at the end of each month, to
cover only expense incurred in these categories during the month. This method of allotting these funds
insures a tight control on these funds and forces a monthly review of these activities.
NEW POSITIONS
The recommendations for new positions were made after a review of the necessity for current
levels of service; review of the departments' needs to cope with their work loads in 1971 at the present
level of services; appraisal of proposals to provide increased services in some County operations in
1971; the apparent ability of departments to utilize additional personnel; and consideration of the
economic, social and inter-governmental repercussions of changes in staffing.
Most of the requests for new positions were very well documented and some are repeat requests
HD from previous years.
The new positions requested and recommended are listed in Chart IV of this report and described
in detail on the smaller colored pages of the budget document. Ninety-One* new positions costing $750,524
are recommended out of 135 positions costing $1,136,016 requested. For comparison with the number of new
positions requested and granted in previous years, see columns I, J and G of Chart III. In addition,
please note the increase in the number of Co-Op Student Positions.
*Including 10 requested Co-Op Student Positions at $2,400 each for a total of $24,000.

Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 14, 1970
CONTINGENCY ADJUSTMENTS
Because it is impractical to allocate funds for possible salary adjustments and reclassifica-
tionsto individual departments or classifications at the time of the Allocation Budget, the County tradi-
Ill ionally budgets a lump sum amount for these possibilities in it's Allocation Budget. The $700,000 in-
luded for contingency adjustments is merely an educated estimate and should not be considered as any
sort of a committment at this time. A salary survey is conducted in July and August and at the same time,
department heads are given a fresh opportunity to state the salary needs of their departments. The need
for such funds will depend on the economic and labor market conditions existing at that time. Column M
of Chart III shows the amounts spent for salary adjustments in previous budgets.
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 to meet peak loads. Often the use of
"Emergency Salaries" allows a department to have a roster of "on call" employees available to cope with
emergencies. Permission must be obtained from the Board of Auditors, through the Personnel Division
before such funds can be used. The amounts recommended for the various departments are shown on the
summary sheet and in the individual departmental colored sheets of the allocation budget document. Chart
III, columns K & L show the amounts budgeted and used for this purpose in the past.
CO-OP STUDENT POSITIONS
These are positions to be filled only with students from formal high school Co-Op Training
Programs. The students go to school for half a day and work for half a day, generally during their
senior year. Currently the County pays Co-Op Students $1.75 per hour during the first semester and $2.00
per hour during their second semester. Such students usually also work full-time during the summer
months. The County department files a report on the student's work progress with the school. Besides
getting excellent help at a comparatively low cost, the Co-Op Program has provided an excellent recruit-
ing base, especially in the clerical areas. The 1970 Budget included 37 positions costing $88,800.
This budget recommendation includes 10 new co-op positions costing $24,000. The summary sheet shows
the distribution of these new positions among the various County departments.
OVERTIME RESERVE
The creation of the Overtime Reserve, within the Salaries Reserve Fund allows funds to be
budgeted for the payment of overtime without committing the funds to particular departments. Overtime is
used only when the work and the time of doing it are assigned by the department head and only employees
in certain categories are eligible for overtime pay. The County's computer maintains a running account
of the overtime used, detailing it by department and employee.
4110IN-SERVICE TRAINING AND TUITION REIMBURSEMENT
Placing these monies in the Salaries Reserve Fund, a method first employed in the 1970 Budget,
allows the Board of Auditors to coordinate, and the Personnel Practices Committee to oversee all train-
ing activities, which have become more important as the County seeks to upgrade present employees in-
stead of fighting in the competitive market for the hard-to-get specialists and technicians. The $20,000
is the same amount budgeted for 1970.
SUMMER EMPLOYMENT
Oakland County has traditionally hired college and high school students to perform a variety
of routine work during the summer months. Summer employees help to fill an employment gap created by
annual leaves, usually taken during the summer by regular, full-time employees. The summer employment
program lends itself well to seasonal work performed in the maintenance of county grounds, the operation
of county parks and repetitive tasks accumulated throughout the year by the various County departments.
Currently the County pays $1.75 per hour for the first year and $2.00 per hour for the second year for
Summer Clerical Help. Summer Grounds Help receives $2.25 per hour for the first year and $2.50 per hour
for the second year. Placing these funds for Summer Employment in the Salaries Reserve Fund, as in the
case of other Auditor coordinated programs, allows the Personnel Practices Committee to oversee summer
employment distribution.
Moved by Mainland the report be accepted as the official recommendation from the Personnel
Practices Committee and the Board of Auditors for consideration as part of the total 1971 Allocation
Budget as submitted by the Finance Committee.
The Chairman stated that the Salaries Report and Budget would be discussed after presentation
of the Budget.
Misc. 5334
By Mr. Houghten
IN RE: ALLOCATION BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 1971
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Property Tax Limitation Statute (Act 62, Section 9, Public Acts of 1933, M.S.A. 7.61) pro-
vides the County shall, at the April Session of the Board of Commissioners, submit a budget to the County
S Tax Allocation Board for its use in determining the County's share of the fifteen mill general property
tax for the ensuing year. To this end, as jointly charged, your Finance Committee, your Personnel Prac-
tices Committee, and the County Board of Auditors herewith present their respective recommendations for
the period January 1, 1971 to December 31, 1971.
The objective of this Allocation Budget is to prepare for submission to the County
Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 14, 1970 363
Allocation Board a realistic total picture of the County's 1971 nneratinnal needs expresced in fully
substantiated programs based on the County's responsibility to the citizens and taxpayers of Oakland
County, together with all revenues other than the property tax expected to be available and the pro-
perty tax revenues necessary if these responsibilities are to be implemented.
In order to reduce the County allocation request to a more realistic minimum, the Committee
has further adjusted the Auditor's recommendations by reducing anticipated expenditure projections
$1,050,000 and increasing anticipated receipts $450,000 for a total allocation request reduction of
$1,500,000.
Your attention is invited to the following:
1. In recognition of the condition of the County Road System and the need for making more
matching moneys available in this area, your Committee has provided $700,000 for the County Road Pro-
gram, an increase of $300,000 for this item.
2. $500,000 has been included to fund the State mandated responsibility on the part of the
County to do local assessing on a reimbursable basis in those cases where the local unit elects not to
continue this basic function.
3. The Committee's Capital Program recommendations for the allocation of $1,124,500 of Mis-
cellaneous Non-Tax Revenues and Building Authority payments of $1,088,000 is predicated on the 1970
five year capital program. This program, according to plan, is to be annually reviewed for final budget
consideration.
4. Funds for the salaries portion of the budget as jointly recommended by the Personnel Prac-
tices Committee and Auditors have been included in the Committee's recommendations.
Your Committee further invites the attention of the Board to the fact that not only did the
1969 operations reduce the unappropriated balances on hand at the beginning of that year from $510,000
to $429,000, but that further the County has been forced to use almost entirely the 1969 year end bal-
ance in order to finance the 1970 Budget. This demonstrates that the County for the past two years has
not been able to operate within its current income for these years.
In the judgment of your Finance Committee, their recommendations and the joint recommendations
of the Personnel Practices and Auditors respecting the salaries portion of the budget represent insofar
as present information is available the amounts necessary to finance County operations for 1971 in the
light of the objectives heretofore stated.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move the adoption of the attached allo-
cation budget in the amount of $36,522,978 necessitating a requested property tax levy of $27,261,478
for allocation purposes.

SALARIES PORTION OF THE 1971 ALLOCATION BUDGET
Your Board of Auditors and the Personnel Practices Committee recommend that the following
amounts be placed in the 1971 Allocation Budget to cover the cost of salaries:
$ 14,215,923 for 1607 positions which have been previously approved*
750,524 for 91 new positions**
58,200 for emergency salaries
300,000 for overtime reserve
200,000 for summer employment
20,000 for in-service training and tuition reimbursement
700.000 for contingency adjustments
$ 16.244.647 Total Salaries Budget
* Includes 37 Co-op students positions approved in the 1970 Budget and costing a total of
$88,800.00
** Includes 10 new Co-op student positions costing a total of $24,000.00
On the following pages is a summary sheet, showing the distribution of the total salaries
amount to the various departmental budgets; a comparison with previous County Budgets and explanations
of the major salaries budget items.
The larger colored sheets of the budget document show the number of positions budgeted for
each department, their classifications, and their costs, projected through 1971 at 1970 salary rates.
The shorter colored pages describe the new positions requested by each department and show
whether they have been included or denied in this budget recommendation.
The recommendations included in this budget were arrived at after the departments involved
were offered opportunities for two hearings; one before the Board of Auditors and one before the
Personnel Practices Committee. The salaries amounts were unanimously approved at the Personnel Practices
Committee meeting of March 12, 1970 and were communicated to the Finance Committee on March 16, 1970.
Mr. Chairman, I move the acceptance of this report as the official recommendation from the
Personnel Practices Committee and the Board of Auditors, for consideration as part of the total 1971
Allocation Budget as submitted by the Finance Committee.

of county parks and repetitive tasks accumulated throughout the year by the various County departments.
Currently the County pays $1.75 per hour for the first year and $2.00 per hour for the second year for
Summer Clerical Help. Summer Grounds Help receives $2.25 per hour for the first year and $2.50 per hour
for the second year. Placing these funds for Summer Employment in the Salaries Reserve Fund, as in the
case of other Auditor coordinated programs, allows the Personnel Practices Committee to oversee summer
employment distribution.

IN RE: ESTABLISHMENT OF NARCOTICS DISPENSING CLINIC
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the use of heroin and other narcotics has increased at alarming rates within the County
and
WHEREAS the addiction to the use of such drugs most frequently requires the user to commit various
violent and non-violent crimes against the citizenry for the sole purpose of securing funds for the pur-
chase of said drugs, and
WHEREAS the illicit sale of narcotics results in large financial gains to the purveyors of said
drugs and which financial gains support organized crime within the nation at large.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED as follows:
1. That it shall be the public policy of the County of Oakland that its citizens addicted to the
use of narcotics shall be treated as indigent persons in need of medical treatment.
2. That the Board of Commissioners establish as part of the office of the Health Director and/or
Medical Examiner a clinic for the dispensation of drugs to those persons addicted to the use of said drugs.
3. That said dispensation of drugs be under the supervision of a licensed physician and treat-
ment be geared towards the ultimate rehabilitation of the addicted person.
Mr. Chairman, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
Dennis M. Aaron, Commissioner. District 12
James M. Brennan, Commissioner. District 3

REPORT
By Mr. Edwards
IN RE: MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION NO. 5348 - ESTABLISHMENT OF AD HOC COMMITTEE TO STUDY TAX REFORM
The Committee on Committees, by Mr. Charles B. Edwards, Jr., Chairman, reports Miscellaneous
Resolution No. 5348 with a recommendation that the resolution not be adopted for the reason that the
matter of property taxes is being covered under the present Committee System by the Equalization and
Legislative Committees and that there is no need for an ad hoc committee to consider property taxes sep-
arately.
"MISC. 5348
IN RE: ESTABLISHMENT OF AD HOC COMMITTEE TO STUDY TAX REFORM
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
There has been much attention and discussion given to the problem of ever-increasing property
taxes country-wide, state-wide and county-wide.
Oakland County has also received its share of complaints and criticism from its citizens re-
garding alleged increases in property taxes that are beginning in many cases to cause hardships.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners establish an Ad Hoc Tax
Committee to find ways and means to halt the spiraling increase on property taxes."
COMMITTEE ON COMMITTEES
Charles B. Edwards, Jr., Chairman
Discussion followed.
The Chairman stated that Resolution #5348 was not adopted due to lack of support.

He was the former Royal Oak Township Supervisor and the first Negro trustee elected to the
Royal Oak Township Board during the period when the area that is now the City of Madison Heights was
still part of the Township.
During his administration, Mr. Dickens instituted and received approval for an urban renewal
program. Out of this loan and grant program came paved streets, sewers, street lights, sidewalks, public
housing, acquisition and demolition of substandard houses that were replaced with new housing.
Elwood Dickens became Township Supervisor in December of 1955 and served on the Oakland County
Welfare Board. He also was Township Constable, served as trustee of the Clinton School District and was
the assistant housing director for the federal government housing project in the Township during the
early 1940's.
He is survived by his wife. Mary, four daughters, seven sons, twenty-five grandchildren and , , two great grandchildren. Three sisters and two brothers also survive.
I Elwood Dickens was respected as a great humanitarian in his community and always rendered
1
assistance to anyone in need. He will long be remembered for his public service in the interests of
his fellow man.

IN RE: INTERIM ANNUAL REPORT OF PLANNING, ZONING AND BUILDING COMMITTEE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
In accordance with Section 7 of of Rule IV of the By-Laws, your Planning, Zoning and Building
Committee has made its annual inspection of County-owned buildings and grounds.
Your Committee is pleased to report that it found the buildings and grounds satisfactorily
maintained, cleaned and repaired. The conditions speak well of the program carried out by the employees
and staff of the Board of Auditors Facilities and Operations Division.
While the existing facilities are being effectively and intensely used by the departments serving
the public, it is apparent to your Committee that additional facilities will be necessary in the future to
meet the needs of our growing County. This year your Board of Commissioners adopted a general development
plan for the Oakland County Service Center. This plan locates the central nerve core of county government
at the Service Center in Pontiac with satellite centers formed to serve distant population areas. The
plan will provide guidance for your Committee during the growing years ahead.
During this past year there have been many accomplishments in the facilities construction
program. Construction of the Courthouse south parking lot and remodeling of the Administrative Annex
building has been completed. Construction has started for the new Law Enforcement-Jail Complex and a
Trusty Camp to meet the needs of Oakland County's modern law enforcement program. Construction was
started for the new Service Building providing facilities for the Drain Commission, Department of Public
Works and the Board of Auditors Facilities and Operations Department. Phase II of the new underground
electrical distribution system at the Service Center and other extensions for water, sewer and gas have
been started this year.
Plans have been started this year for the 4-H Youth Activities Center, the Mental Retardation
Center and the Children's Village Phase II. Federal grants in the amount of $862,000 have been committed
by the Federal Government towards the Mental Retardation Center.
Planning has started, also this year, for the construction of a South Oakland County Office
Building to be located at the South Oakland Service Center in Southfield. Initial planning has begun
and an architect selected for the design of an addition to the Health Center on the County Service Center.
Capital improvements are being made at the Oakland-Pontiac Airport and design studies are
underway for the Oakland-Orion Airport.
Your Committee continues to see a large task ahead to provide governmental facilities for our
growing county. The fact that our existing facilities are getting older each year means this task ahead
is even larger. This has been a busy year, but your Committee expects the years ahead to be even busier
to provide an adequate physical plant.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Planning, Zoning and Buildings Committee, I move that the fore-
going interim report be received and placed on file.

(d) After the issuance of said bonds and the execution of construction contracts, the board
shall cause the project to be constructed within a reasonable time and do all other things required of
it under the provisions of Act No. 185 of the Public Acts of Michigan, 1957, as amended.
5. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the project is to serve the munici-
pality and not the individual property owners and users thereof, unless by special arrangement between
the board and the municipality. The responsibility of requiring connection to and use of the facilities
of the project and of providing such additional facilities, as may be needed, shall be that of the
municipality which shall cause to be constructed and maintained, directly or through the county, any
such necessary additional facilities. The county shall not be obligated to acquire or construct any
facilities other than those designated in paragraph 2 hereof. The project is an improvement, enlargement
and extension of the Clinton-Oakland Sewage Disposal System and the Paint Creek Interceptor and the Base
Contract and the Interceptor Contract shall apply thereto except as the same may be specifically modified
herein for specific application to the project, and, in particular the provisions of paragraphs 9, 10, 11
and 16 through 24 of the Base Contract and paragraphs 10 and 11 of the Interceptor Contract shall apply

attached hereto and any other items of cost of a similar nature as may be set forth in any revision of
said Exhibit "B" agreed to by the parties hereto, incurred by the county in acquiring and constructing
the project. The cost of the project will be represented by one or more series of bonds to be issued by
the county as provided in paragraph 4 in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed the cost of the
project, or any portion thereof, as determined or estimated at the time or times of such issuance. The
municipality covenants and agrees to remit the principal and interest payments on said bonds so issued
and the paying agent fees and other charges to service said bonds (herein called "bond service charges"),
as hereinafter provided, which interest payments shall be determined by applying to said principal payments
the rate or rates of interest borne by the county bonds when sold and delivered. Shown on Exhibit "C" is
the schedule of annual principal payments to be made by the municipality.
Immediately upon the issuance of said bonds by the county to finance the cost of the project or
any part thereof, the board shall notify the municipality, by written communication addressed to its
treasurer, of the schedule of payments of the principal of and interest on the bonds so issued and of
the bond service charges to be paid by the municipality. The municipality hereby covenants and agrees,
not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date due of any principal of or interest on such bonds, to
remit to the county sufficient funds to pay the same along with any bond service charges then due. The
obligations herein expressed shall be applicable to all bonds issued by the county to construct and
complete the project, or any part thereof, whether issued at one time or more than one time. It is
assumed that the aggregate principal amount of all bonds issued will represent the cost of the project.
If funds are available from the municipality or any other source to pay the cost of the project or any
portion thereof, prior to the issuance of bonds, then the obligation of the municipality shall be
adjusted and limited accordingly. If the municipality shall fail to make any of such payments when due,
the amount thereof shall be subject to a penalty of one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%) for each month
or fraction thereof that the same remains unpaid after the due date. The municipality may pay in advance
of maturity all or any part of an annual installment due the county, (1) by surrendering to the county,
bonds issued hereunder of a like principal amount maturing in the same calendar year, with all future
due interest coupons attached thereto, or (2) by payment in cash of the principal amount of bonds to be
called plus all interest to the first day on which such amount of bonds can be called and the amount of
premium and charges necessary to call such amount of bonds on such date.
7. After completion of the project and payment of all costs thereof, any surplus remaining
from the sale of the bonds therefor shall be used to call such bonds as are callable or to purchase
bonds on the open market and in such event the contractual obligation of the municipality in respect
to the project shall be reduced by the principal amount of bonds so called or purchase6, said reduction
to be applied as to year, in accordance with the year of the maturity of the bonds so called or purchased.
Any bonds so called or purchased shall be cancelled. In the alternative, said surplus may be used at the
request of the municipality and upon approval by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, to improve,
enlarge or extend the project.
8. If the proceeds of the sale of the original bonds to be issued by the county to finance the
project, or any part thereof, are for any reason insufficient to complete the project in accordance with

coupons attached thereto, or (2) by payment in cash of the principal amount of bonds to be called plus
all interest to the first day on which such amount of bonds can be called and the amount of premium and
charges necessary to call such amount of bonds on such date.

request of the municipality and upon approval by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, to improve,
enlarge or extend the project.
8. If the proceeds of the sale of the original bonds to be issued by the county to finance the
project, or any part thereof, are for any reason insufficient to complete the project in accordance with

of Oakland County a resolution providing for the issuance of additional bonds in an amount necessary to
provide funds to complete the project in which event the duties and obligations of the board and the

complete the project.

principal payments the rate or rates ol interest borne by the county bonds when sold and uelivered.
Shown on Exhibit "C" is the schedule of annual principal payments to be made by the municipality.
Immediately upon the issuance of said bonds by the county to finance the cost of the project or
any part thereof, the board shall notify the municipality, by written communication addressed to its
treasurer, of the schedule of payments of the principal of and interest on the bonds so issued and of the
bond service charges to be paid by the municipality. The municipality hereby covenants and agrees, not
less than thirty (30) days prior to the due date of any principal of or interest on such bonds, to remit
to the county sufficient funds to pay the same along with any bond service charges then due. The obli-
gations herein expressed shall be applicable to all bonds issued by the county to construct and complete
the project, or any part thereof, whether issued at one time or more than one time. It is assumed that
the aggregate principal amount of all bonds issued will represent the cost of the project. If funds are
available from the municipality or any other source to pay the cost of the project or any portion thereof
prior to the issuance of bonds, then the obligation of the municipality shall be adjusted and limited
accordingly. If the municipality shall fail to make any of such payments when due, the amount thereof
shall be subject to a penalty of one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%) for each month or fraction thereof
that the same remains unpaid after the due date. The municipality may pay in advance of maturity all or
any part of an annual installment due the county, (1) by surrendering to the county, bonds issued here-
under of a like principal amount maturing in the same calendar year, with all future due interest coupons
attached thereto, or (2) by payment in cash of the principal amount of bonds to be called plus all
interest to the first day on which such amount of bonds can be called and the amount of premium and
charges necessary to call such amount of bonds on such date.
7. After completion of the project and payment of all costs thereof, any surplus remaining from
the sale of the bonds therefor shall be used to call such bonds as are callable or to purchase bonds on
the open market and in such event the contractual obligation of the municipality in respect to the project
shall be reduced by the principal amount of bonds so called or purchased, said reduction to be applied as
to year, in accordance with the year of the maturity of the bonds so called or purchased. Any bonds so
called or purchased shall be cancelled. In the alternative, said surplus may be used at the request of
the municipality and upon approval by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, to improve, enlarge or
extend the project.
8. If the proceeds of the sale of the original bonds to be issued by the county to finance the
project, or any part thereof, are for any reason insufficient to complete the project in accordance with
the plans and specifications therefor, the board shall, if necessary, submit to the Board of Commissioners
of Oakland County a resolution providing for the issuance of additional bonds in an amount necessary to
provide funds to complete the project in which event the duties and obligations of the board and the
municipality as expressed and set forth in this contract shall be applicable to such additional issue of
bonds as well as the original issue, it being at all times fully recognized and agreed that the payments
to be made by the municipality, in the manner specified in paragraph 6 of this contract, shall be based
upon the aggregate amount of the bonds outstanding. In lieu of the issuance of such additional bonds, any
other method may be agreed upon by the county and the municipality to provide the necessary funds to
complete the project.
9. The municipality, pursuant to the authorization of paragraph (2), Section 12 of Act 185,
Public Acts of Michigan 1957, as amended, does hereby pledge its full faith and credit for the prompt
and timely payment of its obligations expressed in this contract and shall each year, commencing with
the year prior to the year that it will first be required to make payments to the county in accordance
with the provisions of paragraph 6 of this contract, levy a tax in an amount which, taking into consider-
ation estimated delinquencies in tax collections, will be sufficient to pay its obligations under this
contract becoming due before the time of the following year's tax collections; PROVIDED HOWEVER that if
at the time of making such annual tax levy there shall be other funds on hand earmarked and set aside for
the payment of such contractual obligations falling due prior to the next tax collection period, then
the annual tax levy may be reduced by such amount. Such other funds may be raised in the manner provided
in said paragraph (2), Section 12 of Act 185, Public Acts of Michigan 1957 or any amendments thereto.
10. This contract is contingent upon the county issuing its negotiable bonds as set forth in
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 4 of this contract, to defray the estimated cost of the project, or a
part of the project, which bonds shall be issued under the authorization provided in paragraph (1), sub
paragraph (b) Section 11 of said Act 185, Public Acts of Michigan 1957 as amended.
11. The municipality consents to the establishment and location of the project within its
corporate limits and consents to the use of the streets, alleys and public places of the municipality
for the location, construction, repair, replacement, maintenance and use of the sewage disposal facilities
of the project. After completion, the project shall be used for the collection of sanitary sewage within
the municipality and the transportation of said sanitary sewage through the Paint Creek Interceptor to the
Clinton-Oakland System for ultimate disposal. Upon completion of the project the county hereby leases the
facilities constituting the project to the municipality during the term of this contract, upon the follow-
ing terms and conditions
(a) The facilities shall be used and operated by the municipality in compliance with all con-
tractual and legal obligations applicable to the municipality. The municipality shall employ qualified

of good condition and repair, then the Board of Public Works shall notify the municipality in writing as
to any deficiency. If the municipality shall fail to restore the facilities to a good condition and
repair within a reasonable time thereafter, then the Board of Public Works shall have the right to perform
the necessary work and furnish the necessary materials, and reimbursement for any expense incurred by the
county shall be made by the municipality to the county within thirty (30) days after the expense has been
incurred.

(c) The municipality shall adopt and continue in existence and shall enforce an ordinance or
11/1 ordinances concerning the connections of premises in the municipality to the facilities and concerning
the use of and the payment of charges for the use of the facilities.

of the facilities, the cost of sewage disposal charges required to be paid by the municipality, and to
establish suitable reserves for operation and maintenance. Such charges may also include an amount
determined by the municipality to be used to meet the obligations of the municipality to the county under

ditions and for the period of this contract and agrees to pay the sum of $1.00 per year on January 1st

issued by the county under the provisions of said Act 185, Public Acts of Michigan 1957, as amended, and
secured by the full faith and credit pledge of the municipality to the making of its payments as set
forth in this contract, will have contractual rights in this contract and it is therefore covenanted

the benefit of the holders of said bonds.

cause the project to be constructed within a reasonable time and do all other things required of it under
the provisions of Act No. 185 of the Public Acts of Michigan, 1957, as amended.
5. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the project is to serve the munici-
pality and not the individual property owners and users thereof, unless by special arrangement between
the board and the municipality. The responsibility of requiring connection to and use of the facilities
of the project and of providing such additional facilities, as may be needed, shall be that of the
municipality which shall cause to be constructed and maintained, directly or through the county, any such
necessary additional facilities. The county shall not be obligated to acquire or construct any facilitie ,,
other than those designated in paragraph 2 hereof. The project is an improvement, enlargement and extension
of the Clinton-Oakland Sewage Disposal System and the Paint Creek Interceptor and the Base Contract and
the Interceptor Contract shall apply thereto except as the same may be specifically modified herein for
specific application to the project, and, in particular the provisions of paragraphs 9, 10, 11 and 16
through 24 of the Base Contract and paragraphs 10 and 11 of the Interceptor Contract shall apply hereto
as though set forth in full herein.

municipality be notified at least ten days prior to cancellation thereof. One copy of each policy of
insurance shall be filed with the municipality.

used herein shall be construed to include all items of cost of the type set forth on Exhibit "B" attached
hereto and any other items of cost of a similar nature as may be set forth in any revision of said Exhibit
"B" agreed to by the parties hereto, incurred by the county in acquiring and constructing the project.
The cost of the project will be represented by one or more series of bonds to be issued by the county as
provided in paragraph 4 in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed the cost of the project, or any
portion thereof, as determined or estimated at the time or times of such issuance. The municipality
covenants and agrees to remit the principal and interest payments on said bonds so issued and the paying
agent fees and other charges to service said bonds (herein called "bond service charges"), as hereinafter
provided, which interest payments shall be determined by applying to said principal payments the rate or
rates of interest borne by the county bonds when sold and delivered. Shown on Exhibit "C" is the schedule
of annual principal payments to be made by the municipality.
Immediately upon the issuance of said bonds by the county to finance the cost of the project or
any part thereof, the board shall notify the municipality, by written communication addressed to its
treasurer, of the schedule of payments of the principal of and interest on the bonds so issued and of the
bond service charges to be paid by the municipality. The municipality hereby covenants and agrees, not
less than thirty (30) days prior to the due date of any principal of or interest on such bonds, to remit
to the county sufficient funds to pay the same along with any bond service charges then due. The obli-
gations herein expressed shall be applicable to all bonds issued by the county to construct and complete
the project, or any part thereof, whether issued at one time or more than one time. It is assumed that
the aggregate principal amount of all bonds issued will represent the cost of the project. If funds are
available from the municipality or any other source to pay the cost of the project or any portion thereof
prior to the issuance of bonds, then the obligation of the municipality shall be adjusted and limited
accordingly. If the municipality shall fail to make any of such payments when due, the amount thereof
shall be subject to a penalty of one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%) for each month or fraction thereof
that the same remains unpaid after the due date. The municipality may pay in advance of maturity all
or any part of an annual installment due the county, (1) by surrendering to the county, bonds issued
hereunder of a like principal amount maturing in the same calendar year, with all future due interest
coupons attached thereto, or (2) by payment in cash of the principal amount of bonds to be called plus
all interest to the first day on which such amount of bonds can be called and the amount of premium and
charges necessary to call such amount of bonds on such date.
7. After completion of the project and payment of all costs thereof, any surplus remaining from
the sale of the bonds therefor shall be used to call such bonds as are callable or to purchase bonds on
the open market and in such event the contractual obligation of the muncipality in respect to the project
shall be reduced by the principal amount of bonds so called or purchased, said reduction to be applied as
to year, in accordance with the year of the maturity of the bonds so called or purchased. Any bonds so
called or purchased shall be cancelled. In the alternative, said surplus may be used at the request of
the municipality and upon approval by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, to improve, enlarge or
extend the project.
8. If the proceeds of the sale of the original bonds to be issued by the county to finance the
project, or any part thereof, are for any reason insufficient to complete the project in accordance with
the plans and specifications therefor, the board shall, if necessary, submit to the Board of Commissioners
of Oakland County a resolution providing for the issuance of additional bonds in an amount necessary to
provide funds to complete the project in which event the duties and obligations of the board and the
municipality as expressed and set forth in this contract shall be applicable to such additional issue of
bonds as well as the original issue, it being at all times fully recognized and agreed that the payments

to be made by the municipality, in the manner specified in paragraph 6 of this contract, shall be based
111/
upon the aggregate amount of the bonds outstanding. In lieu of the issuance of such additional bonds,
any other method may be agreed upon by the county and the municipality to provide the necessary funds to
complete the project.
9. The municipality, pursuant to the authorization of paragraph (2), Section 12 of Act 185,
Public Acts of Michigan 1957, as amended, does hereby pledge its full faith and credit for the prompt
and timely payment of its obligations expressed in this contract and shall each year, commencing with the
year prior to the year that it will first be required to make payments to the county in accordance with
the provisions of paragraph 6 of this contract, levy a tax in an amount which, taking into consideration
estimated delinquencies in tax collections, will be sufficient to pay its obligations under this contract
becoming due before the time of the following year's tax collections; PROVIDED HOWEVER, that if at the
time of making such annual tax levy there shall be other funds on hand earmarked and set aside for the
payment of such contractual obligations falling due prior to the next tax collection period, then the
annual tax levy may be reduced by such amount. Such other funds may be raised in the manner provided in
said paragraph (2), Section 12 of Act 185, Public Acts of Michigan 1957, or any amendments thereto.
10. This contract is contingent upon the county issuing its negotiable bonds as set forth in
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 4 of this contract, to defray the estimated cost of the project, or a part
of the project, which bonds shall be issued under the authorization provided in paragraph (1), subparagraph
(b), Section 11 of said Act 185, Public Acts of Michigan 1957, as amended.
11. The municipality consents to the establishment and location of the project within its
corporate limits and consents to the use of the streets, alleys and public places of the municipality for

of good condition and repair, then the Board of Public Works shall notify the municipality in writing as
- to any deficiency. If the municipality shall fail to restore the facilities to a good condition and
1111 repair within a reasonable time thereafter, then the Board of Public Works shall have the right to perform
the necessary work and furnish the necessary materials, and reimbursement for any expense incurred by the
county shall be made by the municipality to the county within thirty (30) days after the expense has
been incurred.
(c) The municipality shall adopt and continue in existence and shall enforce an ordinance or
ordinances concerning the connections of premises in the municipality to the facilities and concerning
the use of and the payment of charges for the use of the facilities.

mined by the municipality to be used to meet the obligations of the municipality to the county under this
contract the Base Contract and the Interceptor Contract. The municipality shall enforce prompt payment of
all such charges as the same shall become due.
(e) The municipality shall secure and maintain adequate property damage and public liability
insurance covering all facilities hereby leased to it by the county. All policies of insurance shall

4. After the execution of this contract by the county and the municipality, the board shall take
the following steps:
(a) Order final plans and specifications for the project from the consulting engineers.
(b) Submit to the Board of Commissioners of Oakland County a resolution, duly approved and
recommended by the board, providing for the issuance of bonds in one or more series in the aggregate
principal amount necessary to finance the acquisition of the project as shown on Exhibit "B" or such
different amount reflecting any revision in the estimate of the cost of the project as may be agreed
upon by the parties hereto, or reflecting the amount of other funds available to pay the cost of the
project, maturing serially as authod zed by law, over a period of not to exceed forty (40) years, which
bonds will be secured primarily by the payments hereinafter provided to be made by the municipality, to
the making of which its full faith and credit is hereby pledged, and secondarily, if approved by a
three-fifths (3/5ths) majority of the members elect of the Board of Commissioners, by the full faith and
credit of the County of Oakland.
(c) After the Board of Commissioners of Oakland County has adopted the bond resolution, the

by the Municipal Finance Commission of the State of Michigan, obtain construction bids for the project
and enter into construction contracts with the lowest responsible bidders, and sell and deliver the bonds

it under the provisions of Act No. 185 of the Public Acts of Michigan, 1957, as amended.

pality and not the individual property owners and users thereof, unless by special arrangement between

municipality which shall cause to be constructed and maintained, directly or through the county, any
such necessary additional facilities. The county shall not be obligated to acquire or construct any
facilities other than those designated in paragraph 2 hereof. The project is an improvement, enlargement
and extension of the Huron-Rouge Sewage Disposal System and the Base Contract shall apply thereto except
as the same may be specifically modified herein for specific application to the project, and, in particular
467
Commissioners Minutes Conti6ucd. July 2, 1970
the provisions of paragraphs 5 through 7, (except for the population capacity and percentage allocations
therein) and 15 through 23 of the Base Contract shall apply hereto as though set forth in full herein.
III 6. The municipality shall pay to the county the entire cost of the project. The term "cost"
as used herein shall be construed to include all items of cost of the type set forth on Exhibit "B"
attached hereto and any other items of cost of a similar nature as may be set forth in any revision of
said Exhibit "B" agreed to by the parties hereto, incurred by the county in acquiring and constructing
the project. The cost of the project will be represented by one or more series of bonds to be issued by
the county as provided in paragraph 4 in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed the cost of the
project, or any portion thereof, as determined or estimated at the time or times of such issuance. The
municipality covenants and agrees to remit the principal and interest payments on said bonds so issued
and the paying agent fees and other charges to service said bonds (herein called "bond service charges")
as hereinafter provided, which interest payments shall be determined by applying to said principal pay-
ments the rate or rates of interest borne by the county bonds when sold and delivered. Shown on
Exhibit "C" is the schedule of annual principal payments to be made by the municipality.
Immediately upon the issuance of said bonds by the county to finance the cost of the project or
any part thereof, the board shall notify the municipality, by written communication addressed to its
treasurer, of the schedule of payments of the principal of and interest on the bonds so issued and of
the bond service charges to be paid by the municipality. The municipality hereby covenants and agrees,
not less than thirty (30) days prior to the due date of any principal of or interest on such bonds, to
remit to the county sufficient funds to pay the same along with any bond service charges then due. The
obligations herein expressed shall be applicable to all bonds issued by the county to construct and
complete the project, or any part thereof, whether issued at one time or more than one time. It is
assumed that the aggregate principal amount of all bonds issued will represent the cost of the project.
If funds are available from the municipality or any other source to pay the cost of the project or any
portion thereof, prior to the issuance of bonds, then the obligation of the municipality shall be
adjusted and limited accordingly. If the municipality shall fail to make any of such payments when
due, the amount thereof shall be subject to a penalty of one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%) for each
month or fracticn thereof that the same remains unpaid after the due date. The municipality may pay in
advance of maturity all or any part of an annual installment due the county, (1) by surrendering to the
county, bonds issued hereunder of a like principal amount maturing in the same calendar year, with all
future due interest coupons attached thereto, or (2) by payment in cash of the principal amount of bonds
to be called plus all interest to the first day on which such amount of bonds can be called and the
amount of premium and charges necessary to call such amount of bonds on such date.
7. In the event that the municipality shall fail for any reason to pay to the board at the
1111
times specified, the amounts herein required to be paid, the board shall immediately notify, in writing,
both the County Treasurer of the County of Oakland and the governing body of the municipality of such
default and the amount thereof, and if such default is not corrected within ten (10) days after such
notification, the County Treasurer or other official charged with disbursement to the municipality of
funds derived from the state sales tax levy under the provisions of Act No. 167 of the Michigan Public
Acts of 1933, as amended, and returnable to the municipality pursuant to tl-e Michigan Constitution of
1963, is by these presents specifically authorized by the municipality to withhold sufficient funds
derived from such sales tax levy and returnable to the municipality as may be indefault, (but not to
exceed in any one calendar year 25% of the amount of such default) and to pay said sums so withheld to
the board to apply on the obligation of said municipality as herein set forth. Any such moneys so
withheld and paid shall be considered to have been returned to the municipality within the meaning of
the Michigan Constitution of 1963, the purpose of this provision being solely to voluntarily authorize
the use of such funds to meet past due obligations of the municipality. In addition to the foregoing,
the board shall have all other rights and remedies provided by law to enforce the obligation of the
municipality to make payments in the manner and at the times required by this contract. It is specifically
recognized by the municipality that the payments required to be made by it pursuant to the terms of this
contract are to be pledged for the payment of principal of and interest on bonds to be issued by the
county, and the municipality covenants and agrees that it will make its required payments to the board
promptly and at the times herein specified, without regard as to whether the project herein contemplated
is actually completed or placed in operation.
8. After completion of the project and payment of all costs thereof, any surplus remaining
from the sale of the bonds therefor shall be used to call such bonds as are callable or to purchase
bonds on the open market and in such event the contractual obligation of the municipality in respect
to the project shall be reduced by the principal amount of bonds so called or purchased, said reduction
to be applied as to year, in accordance with the year of the maturity of the bonds so called or purchased.
Any bonds so called or purchased shall be cancelled. In the alternative, said surplus may be used at the
request of the municipality and upon approval by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, to improve,
enlarge or extend the project.
9. If the proceeds of the sale of the original bonds to be issued by the county to finance the
project, or any part thereof, are for any reason insufficient to complete the project in accordance with
the plans and specifications therefor, the board shall, if necessary, submit to the Board of Commissioners
of Oakland County a resolution providing for the issuance of additional bonds in an amount necessary to
provide funds to complete the project in which event the duties and obligations of the board and the
4111 municipality as expressed and set forth in this contract shall be applicable to such additional issue
of bonds as well as the original issue, it being at all times fully recognized and agreed that the pay-
ments to be made by the municipality, in the manner specified in paragraph 6 of this contract, shall be
based upon the aggregate amount of the bonds outstanding. In lieu of the issuance of such additional
bonds, any other method may be agreed upon by the county and the municipality to provide the necessary
funds to complete the project.

1957, as amended.
5. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the Pontiac Township Extensions are
to serve the municipality and not the individual property owners and users thereof, unless by special
arrangement between the board and the municipality. The responsibility of requiring connection to and
use of the facilities of the project and of providing such additional facilities, as may be needed,
shall be that of the municipality, which shall cause to be constructed and maintained, directly or
through the county, any such necessary additional facilities. The county shall not be obligated to

the county as provided in paragraph 4 in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the cost of the
project, or any portion thereof, as determined or estimated at the time or times of such issuance. The
municipality covenants and agrees to remit sufficient funds to pay the principal of and interest on said
bonds so issued and the paying agent fees and other charges to service said bonds (herein called "bond
service charges"), as hereinafter provided.
Attached hereto as Exhibit C and by this reference made a part hereof, is a schedule of the
annual principal payments to be made by the municipality based upon the estimated cost of the project.
Immediately upon the issuance by the county of the bonds or any additional bonds to finance the cost of
the project or any part thereof, the board shall notify the municipality, by written communication
addressed to its treasurer, of the revised schedule of payments of the principal of and interest on the
bonds so issued and of the bond service charges to be paid by the municipality. The municipality hereby
covenants and agrees, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the due date of any principal of or interest
on such bonds, to remit to the county sufficient funds to pay the same along with any bond service charges
then due. The obligations herein expressed shall be applicable to all bonds issued by the county to con-
struct and complete the project, or any part thereof, whether issued at one time or more than one time.
It is assumed that the aggregate principal amount of all bonds issued will represent the cost of the
project. If funds are available from the municipality or any other source to pay the cost of the project
or any portion thereof, prior to the issuance of bonds, then the obligation of the municipality shall be
adjusted and limited accordingly. If the municipality shall fail to make any of such payments when due,
the amount thereof shall be subject to a penalty of one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%) for each month or
fraction thereof that the same remains unpaid after the due date. The municipality may pay in advance of
maturity all or any part of an annual installment due the county, (1) by surrendering to the county, bonds
issued hereunder of a like principal amount maturing in the same calendar year, with all future due
interest coupons attached thereto, or (2) by payment in cash of the principal amount of bonds to be
called plus all interest to the first day on which such amount of bonds can be called and the amount of
premium and charges necessary to call such amount of bonds on such date.
7. After completion of the project and payment of all costs thereof, any surplus remaining from
the sale of the bonds thtrefor shall be used to call such bonds as are callable or to purchase bonds on
the open market and in such event the contractual obligation of the municipality in respect to the project
shall be reduced by the principal amount of bonds so called or purchased, said reduction to be applied as
to year, in accordance with the year of the maturity of the bonds so called or purchased. Any bonds so
called or purchased shall be cancelled. In the alternative, said surplus may be used at the request of
the municipality and upon approval by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners to improve, enlarge or
extend the project in the township.
8. If the proceeds of the sale of the original bonds to be issued by the county to finance the
project are for any reason insufficient to complete the project in accordance with the plans and speci-
fications therefor, the board shall, if necessary, submit to the Board of Commissioners of Oakland County
a resolution providing for the issuance of additional bonds in an amount necessary to provide funds to
complete the project in which event the duties and obligations of the board and the municipality as
expressed and set forth in this contract shall be applicable to such additional issue of bonds as well as
the original issue, it being at all times fully recognized and agreed that the payments to be made by the
municipality, in the manner specified in paragraph 6 of this contract, shall be based upon the aggregate
amount of the bonds outstanding. In lieu of the issuance of such additional bonds, any other method may
be agreed upon by the county and the municipality to provide the necessary funds to complete the project.
9. The municipality, pursuant to the authorization of paragraph (2), Section 12 of Act 185,
Public Acts of Michigan 1957, as amended, does hereby pledge its full faith and credit for the prompt and
timely payment of its obligations expressed in this contract and shall each year, commencing with the
year prior to the year that the municipality will first be required to make payments to the county in
accordance with the provisions of paragraph 6 of this contract, levy a tax in an amount which, taking into
consideration estimated delinquencies in tax collections, will be sufficient to pay its obligations under
this contract becoming due before the time of the following year's tax collections; PROVIDED HOWEVER, that
if at the time of making such annual tax levy there shall be other funds on hand earmarked and set aside
for the payment of such contractual obligations falling due prior to the next tax collection period, then
the annual tax levy may be reduced by such amount. Such other funds may be raised in the manner provided
in said paragraph (2), Section 12 of Act 185, Public Acts of Michigan 1957, or any amendments thereto.
10. This contract is contingent upon the county issuing its negotiable bonds as set forth in
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 4 of this contract, to defray the estimated cost of the project, or a part
of the project, which bonds shall be issued under the authorization provided in paragraph (1), subparagraph

IN RE: REPEAL OF BOARD OF AUDITORS
- To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
It is the desire of this Board of Commissioners to adopt County Home Rule to modernize govern-
ment and make it more responsive to the will of the electors of the county. This is a long drawn out
process that will take years. One of the main features of Home Rule is the County Executive, an office
that would separate the administrative functions from the legislative body. The State Legislature has
a County Controller Act that embodies all the duties and functions of the Auditors Act, except the
County Controller is one officer and he is known as the Chief Accounting Officer. The County Commissioners
can abolish the Board of Auditors and replace it with the County Controller and effect a Home Rule
provision that is more desirable because it will affect the separation of the administration functions
from the legislative functions.
When the three man, partisan Board of Auditors created by the voters November 5, 1918, when
the County was in a rural state of being, and the old Board of Supervisors was composed of part-time
appointments from the cities and township supervisors, and required two organizational meetings because
city members were appointed during the spring and township supervisors were elected during the fall, the
supervisors were required to appoint two partisan auditors of the majority party and one partisan auditor
by the minority party for three year terms, and a chairman from the three each year. This same process
is followed by the one-man, one-vote Board of Commissioners of Oakland. The following counties, the
largest in the state, all have a Controller: Macomb, Genesee, Kent, Ingham, Saginaw, Washtenaw, Kalamazoo,
Calhoun, Jackson, Bay, Eaton and Marquette; from the Michigan County Government Financial Report, Depart-
ment of Treasury, December 31, 1969, with the exception of Bay and Washtenaw Counties, which had their
Auditors repealed by local act, as reported in Michigan Association of Counties Legislative Action
Bulletin this summer. Wayne County has the elected Auditor. Of the remaining nineteen largest counties,
twelve counties are operating under the Controller Act.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the ballot question "Repeal of the County Board of Auditors"
be placed on the November 3, 1970 General Election ballot, as follows:
"Shall the electors of Oakland County repeal the partisan Board of Auditors to be replaced
by a County Controller, who shall be appointed by the elected County Commissioners in accordance with
Section 13b of Act No. 156 of the Public Acts of 1851, being Section 46.13b of the Compiled Laws of
1948 and as amended by Public Act of 1969, No. 49§1, and given immediate effect July 17, 1969?
Shall the partisan Board of County Auditors Office be abolished?
Yes =1

• 7. The municipalities shall pay to the county the
entire cost of the project. The term "cost" as used herein shall
be construed to include all items of cost of the type set forth
on Exhibit B attached hereto and any other items of cost of a
similar nature as may be set forth in any revision of said Exhibit
B agreed to by the parties hereto, incurred by the county in
acquiring and constructing the project. The cost of the project
will be represented by one or more series of bonds to be issued
by the county as provided in paragraph 4 in the aggregate principal
amount not to exceed the cost of the project, or any portion there-
of, as determined or estimated at the time or times of such
issuance. Each municipality covenants and agrees to remit its
proportionate share of the principal and interest payments on said
0 bonds so issued and the paying agent fees and other charges to
service said bonds therein called "bond service charges"), as
hereinafter provided, which proportionate share shall be determined
by applying to said payments the composite percentages set forth
on Exhibit C attached hereto. Also shown on Exhibit C is the
schedule of annual principal payments to be made by each munici-
pality.
Immediately upon the issuance of said bonds by the county
to finance the cost of the project or any part thereof, the board
shall notify the municipalities, by written communications
addressed to their treasurers, of the schedule of payments of the
principal of and interest on the bonds so issued and of the bond,
service charges to be paid by the municipalities. Each municipality
hereby covenants and agrees, not less than thirty (30) days prior
to the due date of any principal of or interest on such bonds to
remit to the county sufficient funds to pay the same along with any
•
Commissioners Minutes Continued. October 5, 1970
bond service charges then due. The obligations herein expressed
shall be applicable to all bonds issued by the county to construct
and complete the project, or any part thereof, whether issued at
one time or more than one time. It is assumed that the aggregate
principal amount of all bonds issued will represent the cost of
the project. If funds are available from the municipalities or
any other source to pay the cost of the project or any portion
thereof, prior to the issuance of bonds, then the obligations of
the municipalities shall be adjusted and limited accordingly. If
a municipality shall fail to make any of such payments when due,
the amount thereof shall be subject to a penalty of one-half of
one percent (1/2 of 1%) for each month or fraction thereof that
40 the same remains unpaid after the due date. A municipality may
pay in advance of maturity all or any part of an annual install-
ment due the county, (1) by surrendering to the county, bonds
issued hereunder of a like principal amount maturing in the same
calendar year, with all future due interest coupons attached there-
to, or (2) by payment in cash of the principal amount of bonds to
be called plus all interest to the first day on which such amount
of bonds can be called and the amount of premium and charges
necessary to call such amount of bonds on such date.
541
I •
8. After completion of the project and payment of all
costs thereof, any surplus remaining from the sale of the bonds
therefor shall be used to call such bonds as are callable or to
purchase bonds on the open market and in such event the con-
tractual obligation of the municipalities in respect to the
project shall be reduced by the principal amount of bonds so
called or purchased, said reduction to be applied as to year, in
91+2
Commissioners Minutes Continued. October 5, 1970
III accordance with the year of the maturity of the bonds so called
or purchased. Any bonds so called or purchased shall be cancelled.
In the alternative, said surplus may be used at the request of the
municipalities and upon approval by the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners, to improve, enlarge or extend the project.
9. The composite percentages set forth on Exhibit C
are based upon the estimated cost of each section of the project
as set forth on Exhibits B-1, B-2 and B-3 and the share of the
cost of each section allocated to each municipality as set forth
on Exhibit C. It is recognized by the parties that the cost of
the three sections may vary from the estimates and that such
variances may not be proportionally equal for all sections. It
is therefore agreed that upon completion of the entire project
and the payment of all costs incurred in connection therewith,
the board shall prepare revised Exhibits B-1, B-2 and B-3 based
upon the actual costs incurred and calculate a revised composite
percentage by applying to the actual cost of each section the
percentage share of the cost of each section allocated to each
municipality as set forth on Exhibit C. Thereafter the board
shall prepare an adjusted schedule of payments based upon said
revised composite percentages and the adjusted schedule of payments
shall form the basis for annual adjustments in the amounts to be
paid by the municipalities pursuant to Section 7 hereof. The said
annual adjustments shall be made in the form of credits and charges
between the municipalities but shall not affect the primary
gation of each municipality to make payments in accordance with
the composite percentage set forth on Exhibit C which is hereto
attached.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. October 5, 1970 543
J1110 10. If the proceeds of the sale of the original bonds
to be issued by the county to finance the project, or any part
thereof, are for any reason insufficient to complete the project
in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor, the
board shall, if necessary, submit to the Board of Commissioners
of Oakland County a resolution providing for the issuance of
additional bonds in an amount necessary to provide funds to
complete the project or phase in which event the duties and
obligations of the board and the municipalities as expressed and
set forth in this contract shall be applicable to such additional
issue of bonds as well as the original issue, it being at all
times fully recognized and agreed that the payments to be made
by the municipalities, in the manner specified in paragraph 7 of
ID this contract, shall be based upon the aggregate amount of the
bonds outstanding. In lieu of the issuance of such additional
bonds, any other method may be agreed upon by the county and the
municipalities to provide the necessary funds to complete the
project.
11. Each municipality, pursuant to the authorization
of paragraph (2), Section 12 of Act 185, Public Acts of Michigan,
1957, as amended, does hereby pledge its full faith and credit
for the prompt and timely payment of its obligations expressed
in this contract and shall each year, commencing with the year
prior to the year that it will first be required to make payments
to the county in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 7
411/ of this contract, levy a tax in an amount which, taking into con:-
sideration estimated delinquencies in tax collections, will be
sufficient to pay its obligations under this contract becoming
•
•
51+4
Commissioners Minutes Continued. October 5, 19/0
0 due before the time of the following year's tax collections;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if at the time of making such annual tax
levy there shall be other funds on hand earmarked and set aside
for the payment of such contractual obligations falling due prior
to the next tax collection period, then the annual tax levy may
be reduced by such amount. Such other funds may be raised in the
manner provided in said paragraph (2), Section 12 of Act 185,
Public Acts of Michigan, 1957, or any amendments thereto.
This contract is contingent upon the county issuing
its negotiable bonds as set forth in subparagraph (b) of
paragraph 4 of this contract, to defray the estimated cost of
the project, or a part of the project, which bonds shall be
issued under the authorization provided in paragraph (1), sub-
paragraph (b), Section 11 of said Act 185, Public Acts of
Michigan, 1957, as amended.
13. Each municipality consents to the establishment
and location of the project within its corporate limits and con-
sents to the use of its streets, alleys and public places for
the construction thereof by the county and its contractors for
which purpose this contract constitutes a permit. Each muni-
ciphlity further consents to the establishrent and location of
the project within its respective corporate limits and consents
to the use of its streets, alleys and public places for the repair,
replacement, maintenance and use of the sewage disposal facilities.
After completion, the Clarkston-Independence Extensions shall be
used for the collection of sanitary sewage within the municipalities
and the transportation of said sanitary sewage to the Clinton-
Oakland System for ultimate disposal.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. October 5, 1970
14. The county and the municipalities recognize that
0 •
the holders from time to time of the bonds issued by the county
under the provisions of said Act 185, Public Acts of Michigan,
1957, as amended, and secured by the full faith and credit
pledge of each municipality to the making of its payments as
set forth in this contract, will have contractual rights in this
contract and it is therefore covenanted and agreed by each party
that so long as any of said bonds shall remain outstanding and
unpaid, the provisions of this contract shall not be subject to
any alteration or revision which would in any manner affect either
the security of the bonds or the prompt payment of principal or
interest thereon. The municipalities and the county further
covenant and agree that they will comply with their respective
0 duties and obligations under the terms of this contract promptly,
at the times and in the manner herein set forth, and will not
suffer to be done any act which would in any way impair the said
bonds, the security therefor, or the prompt payment of principal
and interest thereon. It is hereby declared that the terms of
this contract in as far as they pertain to the security of any
such bonds, shall be deemed to be for the benefit of the holders
of said bonds.
545

Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The budget that will be considered at the meeting on October 12 is the budgetary recommendations

The recommendation on the Salaries Portion of the budget will be completed upon conclusion of
negotiations between the County of Oakland, the various departments and the American Federation of State,
County and Municipal Employees.
The meeting to be held on October 12 is not the legally required Public Hearing but rather is

•
•
Commissioners Minutes Continued. October 5, 1970
Miscellaneous Resolution No. 5484 directed the Board of Auditors to forfeit the Bid Bond of the
Steve Kruchko Company for the reason that the Steve Kruchko Company, as of September 3, 1970, had been
charged by the State Civil Rights Commission for non-compliance with the State Civil Rights Act, and
WHEREAS since September 3, 1970 the Steve Kruchko Company has complied with the Civil Rights
Act, and the Civil Rights Commission has approved the letting of the Contract to the Steve Kruchko Company.
The County, therefore, has no reason to forfeit the Bond of the Steve Kruchko Company, and, in
fact, to do so and accept the next low bidder would cost the project money.

law (Sec. 37 General Property Tax Law) has caused corrections to be made where necessary, has held a public
hearing on September 30, 1970 and now certifies that such reports are correct and in order.
Your Committee has tabulated the total amount of estimated tax levies, which tabulation is
attached hereto.
Your Committee has prepared tax certificates showing the equalized rates authorized to be spread
against state equalized valuations, which certificates are submitted herewith and which are the basis for
the tabulation above mentioned, and it is recommended that your Honorable Body authorize the Clerk to
sign these certificates.
Your Committee offers the following resolution:
I. BE IT RESOLVED that this Board adopt this report of the Equalization Committee with the
recommendations herein contained as part of the permanent records of the Board.
2. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk be authorized and directed to sign the several tax
certificates on which the attached tabulation was based, thereby authorizing and directing the various

The net cost of the project will be represented by one or more series of bonds to be issued by
the county in the aggregate principal amount of the net cost of the project as determined or estimated
at the time or times of such issuance. Each municipality hereby covenants and agrees to pay its pro-
portionate share of the principal of and interest on said bonds so issued, which proportionate share
shall be determined by applying to the payments of bond principal and interest becoming due as hereinafter
provided, the percentages set forth in this paragraph. In addition each municipality hereby covenants and
agrees to pay its share of all paying agent fees and other charges necessary to service said bonds (herein
called bond services charges) as shall be incurred from time to time by the county.
Immediately upon the issuance of bonds by the county to finance the net cost of the project, or
any portion thereof, the drain commissioner shall notify each municipality above listed, by written
communication addressed to their respective treasurers, of the schedule of payments of the principal of
and interest thereon, the proportionate share thereof to be paid by each municipality, and the amount of
such proportional annual payments to be made by each municipality in accordance with the percentages
specified above. Each municipality hereby covenants and agrees, not less than thirty (30) days prior to
the due date of any principal of or interest on such bonds, to remit to the drain commissioner sufficient
funds to meet its proportionate share of said payments in full.
If one or more of the above listed municipalities should pay its share of the net cost of the
project, or any portion thereof, prior to the issuance of the bonds, then all percentages shall be
adjusted accordingly so that when applied to the principal of the bonds issued, such percentages after
taking into consideration advance payments will reflect the division of the cost of the project as herein
provided. Any municipality may pay in advance of maturity all or any part of an annual installment due
the county on the bonds, by surrendering to the county bonds issued hereunder of a like principal amount
maturing in the same calendar year, with all future due interest coupons attached thereto.
7. In the event that any municipality shall fail for any reason to pay to the drain commissioner
as agency for the county at the times specified, the amounts herein required to be paid for the principal
and interest on bonds or bond service charges, the drain commissioner shall immediately notify, in writing
both the County Treasurer of the County of Oakland and the governing body of such municipality of such
default and the amount thereof, and if such default is not corrected within ten (10) days after such
notification, the County Treasurer or other county official charged with disbursement to such municipality
of funds derived from the state sales tax levy under the provisions of Act 167, Public Acts of Michigan
1933, as amended, and returnable to such municipality pursuant to the Michigan Constitution, is by these
presents specifically authorized by such municipality to withhold sufficient funds (but in no event in an
amount in excess of 25% of the amount of default) derived from such sales tax levy and returnable to such
municipality as may be in default, and to pay said sums so withheld to the drain commissioner to apply on
the obligation of such defaulting municipality as herein set forth. Any such moneys so withheld and paid
shall be considered to have been returned to such municipality within the meaning of the Michigan Consti-
tution, the purpose of this provision being solely to voluntarily authorize the use of such funds to meet
past due obligations of the municipalities to which said moneys are owed. In addition to the foregoing,
the drain commissioner as agency for the county shall have all other rights and remedies provided by law
to enforce the obligations of the municipalities to make payments in the manner and at the times required
by this contract. It is specifically recognized by each of the municipalities that the payments required
to be made by it pursuant to the terms of this contract are to be pledged for the payment of the principal
of and interest on bonds to be issued by the county, and each of the municipalities covenants and agrees
that it will make its required payments to the drain commissioner as agency of the county promptly and at
the times herein specified, without regard as to whether the project herein contemplated is actually
completed or placed in operation; provided, only that nothing herein contained shall limit the obligation
of the county to perform in accordance with the provision of this contract.
8. If any municipality shall fail to make any of its principal and interest or bond service
charge payments as required by the provisions of this contract, when due, the amount thereof shall be
subject to a penalty of three-quarters of one per cent (3/4 of 1%) for each month or fraction thereof
that the same remains unpaid after the due date.
9. The proceeds of sale of the bonds shall be used solely and only to pay the net cost of the
project, and after completion thereof and payments of costs in connection therewith, any surplus remain-
ing from the sale of the bonds shall be (1) used to purchase the bonds on the open market or (2) retained
by the county as a reserve for payment of the bond principal and interest maturities next falling due,
and in such event the contract obligation of each municipality in respect to such bonds or such maturities
shall be reduced by its percentage (as specified in paragraph 6 of this contract), of the principal amount
of bonds so purchased or of said reserve, said reduction in case of the purchase of bonds, to be applied
as to year, in accordance with the year of the maturity of the bonds so purchased. Any bonds so purchased
shall be canceled.
If the proceeds of the sale of the original bonds are for any reason insufficient to complete
the project in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor, the drain commissioner shall, if
necessary, submit to the Board of Supervisors of Oakland County a resolution providing for the issuance
of additional bonds in an amount necessary to complete the project in which event the duties and obli-
gations of the county agency and the municipalities as expressed and set forth in paragraphs 3 and 6 of
this contract shall be applicable to such additional issue of bonds as well as the original issue, it
being at all times fully recognized and agreed that the payments to be made by the municipalities in the
proportions and in the manner specified in paragraph 6 of this contract, shall be based upon the net cost

issuance of such additional bonds, any other method may be agreed upon by the county and the municipalities
to provide the necessary funds to complete the project.

342, Public Acts of 1939, as amended, does hereby pledge its full faith and credit for the prompt and
timely payment of its obligations expressed in this contract and shall each year, commencing the year
prior to the first year obligations shall become due hereunder, levy a tax in an amount which, taking
into consideration estimated delinquencies in tax collections, will bc sufficient to pay its obligations
under this contract becoming due before the time of the following year's tax collections: PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that if at the time of making such annual tax levy there shall be other funds on hand earmarked
and set aside for the payment of such contractual obligations falling due prior to the next tax collection
period, then the annual tax levy may be reduced by such amount. Such other funds may be raised in any
manner permitted by law.
11. This contract is contingent upon the county issuing its negotiable bonds, as set forth in
paragraph 3 and paragraph 9 of this contract, to defray the estimated net cost of the project, which
bonds shall be issued under the authorization provided under said Act 342, Public Acts of Michigan, 1939
as amended.
12. The county and the municipalities each recognize that the holders from .time to time of the
bonds issued by the county under the provisions of said Act 342, Public Acts of Michigan 1939, as amended
and secured by the full faith and credit pledges of the municipalities to the making of their propor-
tionate payments as set forth in this contract, will have contractual rights in this contract and it is
therefore covenanted and agreed by each of them that so long as any of said bonds shall remain outstanding
and unpaid, the provisions of this contract shall not be subject to any alteration or revision which
would in any manner affect either the security of the bonds or the prompt payment of principal or
interest thereon. The municipalities and the drain commissioner further covenant and agree that they
will each comply with their respective duties and obligations under the terms of this contract promptly,
at the times and in the manner herein set forth, and will not suffer to be done any act which would in
any way impair the said bonds, the security therefor, or the prompt payment of principal and interest
thereon. It is hereby declared that the terms of this contract insofar as they pertain to the security
of any such bonds, shall be deemed to be for the benefit of the holders of said bonds.
13. This contract shall become effective upon its execution by all the parties hereto. There-
after this contract shall be in full force and effect until January 1 in the year 2002. It shall be
binding upon and enure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Nothing herein contained, however, shall require the county to construct and operate the project if it
Is unable to sell bonds to finance the same. This contract may be executed in any number of counterparts.

* Student positions were not budgeted separate from regular budgeted positions.
** More was used than budgeted. However, only the budgeted amount was transferred from Emergency Salaries. The balance was paid from unspent
Salaries Budgets of the Departments involved. For 1967, '68, '69 and '70 this amount also includes a large program for the employment of
Student help during the summer time.
*** Not budgeted in previous years. Overtime was paid from unspent salaries resulting from turnover, vacant positions, etc.
1971 - Total Salaries Budget (B) includes $139,200 for 58 Student Positions.
NOTE: Budgeted position totals may not compare from year to year due to changes in budgeting techniques relative to the treatment of budgeted
positions and positions paid from other sources.
ALSO - The amount of Contingency Adjustment (Q) shown for 1970 does not reflect an amendment of $391,659 additional Salary Adjustments
resulting from negotiated labor agreements finalized after the approval of the 1970 Budget.

REASONS FOR SALARY ADJUSTMENTS
From October 1969 to October 1970 the cost-of-living index in the Detroit metropolitan areas
has risen 7.9 points based on the base period of 1957-1959 to an index of 137.1. This is an increase of
6.1% from October a year ago. The automotive labor settlements which took the lid off automatic cost-of-
living increases and gave sizable wage increases, are likely to contribute toward a continued increase in
the cost of living in this area. Most major governmental employers in Michigan, and especially in south-
eastern Michigan, have given or are in the process of giving salary increases which in many cases exceed
10%. The County's annual salary survey, which this year covered 141 classifications and 54 employers,
show very few classes for which Oakland County pays outstandingly high salaries and numerous classes for
which it pays salaries which are noticeably low.

Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 17, 1970
REASONS FOR A 5% ADJUSTMENT
While it is true that the cost-of-living has increased over 6% and some other governmental
employers are giving larger salary adjustments this year, the sizable salary adjustments granted a year
ago and the effect of the nation's economy on the County's labor market have combined to make 1970 one
of the County's most successful years in terms of recruiting and retaining good quality, qualified
employees. A careful review of the County's salaries in relation to competitive rates, in relation to
the expected labor market, in relation to the County's fringe benefit programs and in relation to the
County's reputation as a stable employer with outstanding programs, leads your Board of Auditors and
your Committee to believe that the 5% adjustment recommended for most classifications is both fair and
equitable to the employees involved and satisfactory to assure that the County's recruiting and retention
of quality employees will continue at a level that will assure the continuation of outstanding service
to the County's taxpayers and clients.
REASONS FOR ADJUSTMENTS ABOVE THE 5% FORMULA
Twenty seven classifications, applying to 24 budgeted positions and 6 positions paid from other
sources are recommended for salary adjustments larger than 5%. The total budgeted cost of these adjust-
ments is $43,050. If these classifications had been given adjustments at the 5% formula the cost would
have been $20,390. The cost of the raises above 5% being $23,115. Of the 27 classifications, twelve
are attorney classifications. Ten of these classes are employed in the Prosecutor's Office and two are
employed by the Corporation Counsel. The salary ranges for the two lowest level attorney classifications
have been successful in recruiting good beginning attorneys and are among those recommended for 5%
increases, however the salaries of higher level classifications have allowed a high turnover in the
specialized and leadership positions of the Prosecutor's Office. In an attempt at longer retention of
experienced leadership in the Prosecutor's Office and in an attempt to hold the well qualified Senior
Assistant Corporation Counsels, upon whom the County has become increasingly dependent, salary adjustments
of 10% have been recommended for these classifications.
The 9.1% increase for the Director of Health was recommended to make a meaningful differential
of $2,925 between he and the highest paid person he supervises. This differential has been $1,500.
This adjustment also is in recognition of the scarcity of physicians with the additional degree in Public
Health and of the large number of Public Health Departments now without Directors.
The increase of $3,075 recommended for the Chief Pathologist is another case of facing the
realities of the cost and value of the position and the County's good fortune in having the services of
an experienced physician who is nationally recognized as one of the leaders in his profession.
The position of Drug Abuse Program Director was set at a flat rate salary, equal to the base
rate of the salary range for the Auditor's Division Heads, when it was established in May of 1970. The
announced intention at the time was to put the position on a par with these Division Heads if the program
developed as expected, and the recommended salary range carries out this intention. The incumbent would
receive a regular 5% raise effective January 1, 1971 and would go to the one year step the pay period
nearest the completion of his first year on the job.
The adjustment of 9•4% for the Director of Animal Welfare resulted from an attempt to fully
recognize the complexities of the position as both a Department Head and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine,
developing and carrying out both medical and control programs. It is felt that in the past this position
has been paid less than many positions of less ultimate responsibility and requiring less training.
The Director of Veterans' Services and his Assistant have been recommended for adjustments of
6.5% and 7.7% because as the result of a misunderstanding, a year ago they received two of the lowest
raises in the 1970 Salary Adjustment package.
The adjustments for the Assistant Director of Juvenile Services is 5.7% to cover payment for
the inconvenience of certain on-call features of his position for which he will not be compensated by
the payment of overtime. The Chief Probation Officer's adjustment is in recognition for increased
responsibilities placed on the job as are the adjustments for the position of Director of Reimbursement
and Manager of Record Retention, Printing and Property where the County has drastically upgraded its
printing operations.
The Health Department's Alcoholism Program Director position originally had its salary set on
an experimental basis until the program started functioning and started putting the available State funds
to work. It is felt that the program is sufficiently under way to recommend that the Director be paid
a salary equal to that of other County classifications for which his training of a Masters Degree in
Social Work would entitle him.
The recommended salary for Supervisor of Juvenile Court Legal Processes and Clerical Services,
which is a new classification, establishes it on the same level as comparable positions in the Probate
Court. Even with its incre=ge of $1,500, the salary for Chief Security Guard is still $1,500 below the
1970 salary for a Patrolman or Jail Guard in the Sheriff's Department and the incumbent, deputized as
a Sheriff's deputy, has command responsibilities. The adjustment for Laundry Manager put the salary on
a par with like level positions in the County's salary structure and the salary for Director of Public
Works is set independently by the County's Board of Public Works.
REASONS FOR THE METHOD OF THE 5% ADJUSTMENT
The method of applying the 5% adjustment so that all persons in a classification receive the
same amount of money as a raise is in keeping with the way the County has administered its salary
adjustments for at least the past fifteen years. From an administrative standpoint it has a number of
advantages of simplicity in dealing with employees, with department heads, with the payroll division
and with the labor union groups with which the County carries on collective bargaining. The County is
dealing with 2,168 employees, with 537 different job classifications, with some 34 departments, with six
bargaining units and has much of its personnel record keeping done by the County's computer which utilizes
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 17, 1970 615
s
the same personnel data for many different functions including maintaining a master personnel file,
preparing and costing salary recommendations, computing and printing the salaries portion of the
budget, computing and printing the County's salary schedule, making monthly salaries budget projections,
computing and printing first of the year salary forms for employees, department heads and the payroll
division, automatically preparing notices of merit increase and rate of longevity payment changes,
maintaining overtime records and printing the overtime report, maintaining and printing the attendance
report and preparing a monthly activity report.
Admittedly the County could change its method of applying a salary adjustment to one which
would grant a direct percentage increase to each salary step of each classification but it would
greatly hinder the County's collective bargaining on salaries in which offers and counter offers are
often made in amounts as low as ten dollars per year and sometimes in cents and fractions of cents per
hour. It would result in a much larger number of specific amounts of salary raise to administer, would
considerably increase the areas of explanation and possible confusion in the County's relations with
its employees and considering the number of uses to which the rate information is put, would create a
considerable amount of adjustment of methods.
SALARIES OF EMPLOYEES IN BARGAINING UNITS
The County's negotiating team is currently engaged in collective bargaining with Council 23,
American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, A.F.L.-C.I.O., which represents approx-
imately 600 employees of the Sheriff, the Probate Court, the Department of Facilities Operations, and
the Animal Welfare Department.
Because these negotiations have not as yet been completed, no salary adjustments for these
employees have been included in this salaries recommendation. In addition salary adjustments for
another 29 employees whose classifications are directly related to the bargaining unit employees have
not been included.
REASONS FOR NOT RECOMMENDING SALARY ADJUSTMENTS FOR CERTAIN OTHER CLASSES
For the most part the remaining 34 classifications which did not receive salary adjustments in
this recommendation are part-time in nature, such as student positions, likewise at the time this is
being prepared the County Commissioners, Commissioner-Chairman and Commissioner-Vice-Chairman are in-
cluded in this category.
CONTINGENCY ADJUSTMENT
An amount of $165,880 for Contingency Adjustments is included in this recommendation for
possible future use in establishing 1971 salary rates for classifications which have not received
salary adjustments in this recommendation or for other uses relative to the salaries portion of the
budget.
STUDENT POSITIONS
These are positions filled with students from formal high school Co-Op Training Programs
and other available students. The students go to school for half a day and work for half a day, gen-
erally during their senior year. Currently the County pays students $1.75 per hour during the first
semester and $2.00 per hour during their second semester. Such students usually also work full time
during the summer months. For those in formal Co-Op programs, the County department files a report
on the student's work progress with the school. Besides getting excellent help at a comparatively
low cost, the hiring of students has provided an excellent recruiting base, especially in the clerical
areas. The 1970 Budget included 37 such positions and this budget recommendation includes 58 among
the previously approved positions as the Board of Commissioners granted immediate effect to the Student
Positions requested for 1971 so that they might be recruited from the high school classes in the fall
of 1970. The summary sheet shows the distribution of these new positions among the various County
departments.
SUMMER EMPLOYMENT
Oakland County has traditionally hired college and high school students to perform a variety
of routine work during the summer months. Summer employees help to fill an employment gap created by
annual leaves, usually taken during the summer by regular full-time employees. The summer employment
program lends itself well to seasonal work performed in the maintenance of County grounds, the operation
of County parks and repetitive tasks accumulated throughout the year by the various County departments.
Currently the County pays $1.75 per hour for the first year and $2.00 per hour for the second year for
Summer Clerical Help. Summer Grounds Help receives $2.25 per hour for the first year and $2.50 per hour
for the second year. Placing these funds for Summer Employment in the Salaries Reserve Fund, as in the
case of other Auditor coordinated programs, allows the Personnel Practices Committee to oversee summer
employment.
TRAINING AND TUITION REIMBURSEMENT
Placing these monies in the Salaries Reserve Fund, a method first employed in the 1970 Budget,
allows the Board of Auditors to coordinate, and the Personnel Practices Committee to oversee, all train-
ing activities, which have become more important as the County seeks to upgrade present employees in-
stead of competing in the market for the hard-to-get specialists and technicians. Some of the training
involves sending employees to seminars and workshops, some involves bringing instructors to groups of
employees and tuition reimbursement involves reimbursing the employee for the tuition he has already
paid. The reimbursement is made only for courses approved by the employee's department head and the
Personnel Divislon as being useful to the employee's present and future County employment and reimburse-
ment is mad P after the employee has successfully completed the course. The $20,000 is the same amount
budgeted for 1970.
PERSONNEL TURNOVER ADJUSTMENT
Because the salaries budget estimate is based on the persons employed by the County in the late
summer or fall of the year prior to the year of the budget and because a certain amount of turnover of
personnel results in positions budgeted at the high end of their ranges eventually being filled by
employees paid at beginning salary steps, the estimate is higher than the actual expenditures for most

OVERTIME RESERVE
The creation of the Overtime Reserve, of $380,000, within the Salaries Reserve Fund allows funds
to be budgeted for the payment of overtime without committing the funds to particular departments. Over-
time is used only when the work and the time of doing it are assigned by the department head and only
employees in certain categories are eligible for overtime pay. The County's computer maintains a running
account of the overtime used, detailing it by department and employees. The overtime paid from this
account includes conventional ovArtime, premium pay for legal holidays worked and off-duty court appearance
time for Sheriff's personnel. For 1970, $300,000 was budgeted for this purpose and the following chart
shows the overtime paid for 1970 through August 7th.

departments and always has been higher for the overall salaries budget.
To make the salaries budget more realistic, the estimate is reduced by an estimate of the
amount of turnover savings. This estimate, called the PERSONNEL TURNOVER ADJUSTMENT, has varied from 4111 $100,000 to $300,000 for the past several years.
For 1971, it is recommended that the Personnel Turnover Adjustment be set at $600,000. This
increase is based on both the County's experience in 1969 and 1970 in which the salaries budget surplus
has been over $700,000 and the fact that summer employment, which has been paid from this surplus in
the past, is budgeted for in the 1971 Salaries Budget Recommendation.
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.

By Mr. Houghten
IN RE: FINAL ANNUAL BUDGET 1971
To the Honorable Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Oakland County Board of Auditors, on October 12, 1970, as required by State law, presented
their 1971 Budget recommendations to this Board of Commissioners. Your Finance Committee, after careful
review of these recommendations, together with those of the Personnel Practices Committee, and after
extensive hearings with the reflective County Department Heads and other agencies requesting funds, now
present their recommended budget for the operation of the County for the fiscal year beginning January 1,
1971, and ending December 31, 1971, in the amount of $35,675,691.
Included in this amount is the sum of $15,442,685 covering the recommendations of the Personnel
Practices Committee as presented to this Committee at their meeting of December 8, 1970. The Finance
Committee has referred this portion of the budget back to the Personnel Practices Committee for further
consideration and serve notice that either or both committees may offer amendments relating to this matter
at the December 17 Board meeting.
The Finance Committee has approved and recommended adoption of the Auditors recommendations,
except as noted below:
1. The Committee recommends the reduction of the Auditors recommended allocation of Miscellaneous
Non-Tax Revenues to $1,073,402, and reduction of the recommended Building Authority payments to $913,000.
Reviews made subsequent to the time of the Auditors recommendations indicate the 1971 Building Program, as
adopted by the joint committees of the Board, can be financed with the $300,000 reduction noted.
2. The Committee recommends an increase in recommended appropriation for the County roads
matching program to $700,000 in order to better provide the funds needed for this vitally necessary program
estimated at 8.8 million dollars.
3. The Committee recommends an appropriation of $123,000 to the Southeastern Michigan Trans-
portation Authority to meet the County share of this accelerated program, with the stipulation, that no
moneys be expended for that program without the approval of the Finance Committee. This stipulation is
being made to assure that other participating agencies meet their respective commitments and that the
program continues as outlined by SEMTA.
4. The Contingent Fund has been reduced to $404,207 to provide the necessary financing noted
In item (3) above.
5. The reduction of the operating portion of the budget in the amount of $90,800 and the
corresponding increase in the salaries portion of the budget reflects the adjustment necessary to transfer
the funds covering the positions for the Sheriff's Trusty Camp from funds previously provided in the
operations portion of the Sheriff's budget.
6. Your Committee additionally notes that the $1,300,000 appropriation to the Employees Retire-
ment Fund, together with estimated receipts from other participating county agencies, appears to be
sufficient to cover the Employer Contribution, as estimated by the Actuary of $1,673,633.
7. Likewise, the difference in figures between the Auditors recommendations and the Committee's
figures under "Salaries" in the respective Departmental Budgets results from the distribution of funds
previously recommended in a "bulk" for this purpose.
In addition as Oakland County Commissioners, we need to be bold and surefooted in meeting today's
challenges with decisive and specific programs.
However, all of the growing social problems of today, poverty, disease, injustice, have also
plagued every society in the history of mankind. Oakland County has made tremendous progress in lessening
these problems, but our achievements have served to make some people completely impatient with any problem
that remains with us. This creates immense pressures for us. Public problems are not necessarily simple
government problems that can be solved with quick solutions or by money solutions.
Many of our county problems must be shared with State and Federal government, city, township
government, educational units, labor, and business. We must involve and improve our communications skills.
We had better make up our minds that all our social ills cannot be solved single handed. It is
our job to set specific priorities, objectives and services to establish a leadership role to involve all.
The 1971 budgeted income is based on two major sources. First the property tax. Our County
share is 5.16 mills which equals $24,453,191.00 and is based on the state equalized valuation for Oakland
County at $4,739,990,509. Secondly, is the non-tax revenues of approximately $12,000,000.00. This is
made up of tax revenues other than property tax, charges for services, Federal and State subsidies,
interest and rent income, permits and license, and miscellaneous income. The revenues are all itemized
on page five and a diagram showing percentages and comparisons are directly opposite.
The 5.16 mills for each of the 1970 and 1971 budgets is the smallest allocated millage since
1958 for Oakland County. I think it also is important to mention that again in 1971 as in 1970, there
is no millage spread outside of the allocated millage.
In our current 1970 budget we were able to absorb increased costs, expand programs and initiate
new programs mainly because the non-tax revenues were considerably higher than anticipated and budgeted.
However, in 1971 I predict we will not have this luxury. The budgeted non-tax revenues have
already been incrPased to reflect the additional state income tax revenue due to our new 1970 census
figures and the increase in additional Federal and State subsidies and other added projected income.
The expenditures as outlined on page six are grouped to show functional comparisons. The chart
on the opposite page shows the percentages for each particular function. Also the budget clearly reflects
each departments function and responsibilities and in many departments it outlines vital statistics
showing in detail a breakdown of its specific work.
Also, I would like to bring to your attention some increases in specific programs in the 1971
Budget.

Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 17, 1970
In the care of mentally ill, the budget has been increased $388,078. Current drains, which
s the responsibility of the County to pay the obligations for drainage of county roads, has been increased
Ililf
5,755 for 1971. Huron Clinton Authority of which this Board has no control, has increased $178,207.
e Road Commission has been mentioned before, which has increased $300,000 over 1970. The Circuit Court
for court appointed defense will require an additional $145,000 for 1971. Drug Abuse Control, a new
program which was started in 1970 from the Contingency Fund, is now a permanent department and is being
funded an additional $179,000 over the expenditures for 1970. The Child Care Programs of Juvenile
Division of the Probate Court is requiring an additional $298,043. The largest single increase for 1971
is General Relief. To properly fund the item for 1971 requires $536,000 more than the 1970 General
Relief Budget.
I would draw your attention to the fact, there are no funds budgeted for Oakland-Orion Airport
and only $240,000 in the Capital Budget for capital improvement at Oakland-Pontiac Airport.
In conclusion, I believe this 1971 budget is realistic and in the best interest of the citizenry
of Oakland County. In the judgment of your Committee, the recommendations of the Auditors made October 12,
1970, as above modified by this Committee, present a properly balanced budget for the best operations of
the County within the limits of funds available.
Mr. Chairman, I move the adoption of the above report and approval of the 1971- Budget as submitted.

AMENDMENT TO SALARIES PORTION OF BUDGET
WHEREAS the present joint recommendations of the Personnel Practices Committee and the Board of

classification with certain exceptions noted in our recommendations, and
WHEREAS the Personnel Practices Committee upon further review at their meeting of December 16,
of this method of pay raise, have concluded that for reasons of better uniformity and increased equity
that such 577 raises should be applied to each step of each classification, and
WHEREAS such change of method will result in the savings of approximately $35,000 from funds
used for pay raises at this time,
THEREFORE, Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Personnel Practices Committee, I move to amend the
salaries portion of the Oakland County 1971 Final Budget to provide that all recommended pay raises that
were based on the for-via of 5i of the maximum rate of the classification now be based on a 5% raise on
each step within each classification and that any portion of the present salaries recommendation incon-
sistent with, be and hereby is amended to conform with this amendment.

NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the premises and the convenants of each other, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
1. The county and the municipality hereby approve the extension, improvement and enlarge-
ment of the Milford Sewage Disposal System by the acquisition and construction of sewage disposal
facilities to serve the municipality, under and pursuant to the provisions of Act No. 185 of the
Michigan Public Acts of 1957, as amended. The sewage disposal facilities to be acquired and con-
structed are hereby designated the "Sewer Extensions of the Milford Sewage Disposal Systerd'.

(a) Order final plans and specifications for the project from the consulting engineers.
(b) Submit to the Board of Commissioners of Oakland County a resolution, duly approved and
recommended by the Board, providing for the issuance of bonds in one or more series in the aggregate
principal amount necessary to finance the acquisition of the project as shown on Exhibit "Pi or such

which bonds will be secured primarily by the payments hereinafter provided to be made by the municipality,
629 Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 17, 1970.
to the making of which its full faith and credit is hereby pledged, and secondarily, if approved by a
three-fifths (3/5ths) majority of the members elect of the Board of Commissioners, by the full faith
and credit of the County of Oakland.
(c) After the Board of Commissioners of Oakland County has adopted the bond resolution, the
board will take all necessary procedures to obtain the approvals necessary to the issuance of the bonds
by the Municipal Finance Commission of the State of Michigan, obtain construction bids for the project
and enter into construction contracts with the lowest responsible bidders, and sell and deliver the bonds
in the manner authorized by law.
(d) After the issuance of said bonds and the execution of construction contracts, the board
shall cause the project to be constructed within a reasonable time and do all other things required of it
under the provisions of Act No. 185 of the Public Acts of Michigan, 1957, as amended.
5. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the project is to serve the munici-
pality and not the individual property owners and users thereof, unless by special arrangement between
the board and the municipality. The responsibility of requiring connection to and use of the facilities
of the project and of providing such additional facilities, as may be needed, shall be that of the
municipality which shall cause to be constructed and maintained, directly or through the county, any such
necessary additional facilities. The county shall not be obligated to acquire or construct any facilities
other than those designated in paragraph 2 hereof. The project is an improvement, enlargement and
extension of the Milford Sewage Disposal System and the Base Contract shall apply thereto except as the
same may be specifically modified herein for specific application to the project, and in particular, the
provisions of paragraphs 6 and 8 of the Base Contract shall apply hereto as though set forth in full
herein.
The county hereby agrees that it will secure, or cause to be secured, and maintained during
the period of construction adequate property damage and public liability insurance covering all facilities
to be constructed pursuant to this contract. All policies of insurance shall provide that the county
and the municipality shall be insured parties thereunder and shall contain a provision requiring that the
municipality be notified at least ten days prior to cancellation hereof. One copy of each policy of
insurance shall be filed with the municipality.
6. The municipality shall pay to the county the entire cost of the project. The term "cost"
as used herein shall be construed to include all items of cost of the type set forth on Exhibit "B"
attached hereto and any other items of cost of a similar nature as may be set forth in any revision of
said Exhibit "B" agreed to by the parties hereto, incurred by the county in acquiring and constructing
the project. The cost of the project will be represented by one or more series of bonds to be issued by
the county as provided in paragraph 4 in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed the cost of the
project, or any portion thereof, as determined or estimated at the time or times of such issuance. The
municipality covenants and agrees to remit the principal and interest payments on said bonds so issued
and the paying agent fees and other charges to service said bonds (herein called "bond service charges")
as hereinafter provided, which interest payments shall be determined by applying to said principal
payments the rate or rates of interest borne by the county bonds when sold and delivered. Shown on
Exhibit "C" is the schedule of annual principal payments to be made by the municipality.
Immediately upon the issuance of said bonds by the county to finance the cost of the project or
any part thereof, the board shall notify the municipality, by written communication addressed to its
treasurer, of the schedule of payments of the principal of and interest on the bonds so issued and of
the bond service charges to be paid by the municipality. The municipality hereby covenants and agrees
not less than thirty (30) days prior to the due date of any principal of or interest on such bonds, to
remit to the county sufficient funds to pay the same along with any bond service charges then due. The
obligations herein expressed shall be applicable to all bonds issued by the county to construct and
complete the project, or any part thereof, whether issued at one time or more than one time. It is
assumed that the aggregate principal amount of all bonds issued will represent the cost of the project.
If funds are available from the municipality or any other source to pay the cost of the project or any
portion thereof, prior to the issuance of bonds, then the obligation of the municipality shall be
adjusted and limited accordingly. If the municipality shall fail to make any of such payments when due,
the amount thereof shall be subject to a penalty of one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%) for each month or
fraction thereof that the same remains unpaid after the due date. The municipality may pay in advance of
maturity all or any part of an annual installment due the county, (1) by surrendering to the county, bonds
issued hereunder of a like principal amount maturing in the same calendar year, with all future due in-
terest coupons attached thereto, or (2) by payment in cash of the principal amount of bonds to be called
plus all interest to the first day on which such amount of bonds can be called and the amount of premium
and charges necessary to call such amount of bonds on such date.
7. After completion of the project and payment of all costs thereof, any surplus remaining
from the sale of the buds therefor shall be used to call such bonds as are callable or to purchase bonds
on the open market and in such event the contractual obligation of the municipality in respect to the
project shall be reduced by the principal amount of bonds so called or purchased, said reduction to be
applied as to year, in accordance with the year of the maturity of the bonds so called or purchased.
Any bonds so called or purchased shall be cancelled. In the alternative, said surplus may be used at the
request of the municipality and upon approval by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, to improve,
enlarge or extend the project.
8. If the proceeds of the sale of the original bonds to be issued by the county to finance the
project, or any part thereof, are for any reason insufficient to complete the project in accordance with
the plans and specifications therefor, the board shall, if necessary, submit to the Board of Commissioners
of Oakland County a -esolution providing for the issuance of additional bonds in an amount necessary to
provide funds to complete the project in which event the duties and obligations of the board and the
municipality as expressed and set forth in this contract shall be applicable to such additional issue of
630
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 17, 1970
bonds as well as the original issue, it being at all times fully recognized and agreed that the payments
to be made by the municipality, in the manner specified in paragraph 6 of this contract, shall be based
Ili upon the aggregate amount of the bonds outstanding. In lieu of the issuance of such additional bonds,
any other method may be agreed upon by the county and the municipality to provide the necessary funds
to complete the project.
9. The municipality, pursuant to the authorization of paragraph (2), Section 12 of Act 185,
Public Acts of Michigan, 1957, as amended, does hereby pledge its full faith and credit for the prompt
and timely payment of its obligations expressed in this contract and shall each year, commencing with
the year prior to the year that it will first be required to make payments to the county in accordance
with the provisions of paragraph 6 of this contract, levy a tax in an amount which, taking into con-
sideration estimated delinquencies in tax collections, will be sufficient to pay its obligations under
this contract becoming due before the time of the following year's tax collections: PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that if at the time of making such annual tax levy there shall be other funds on hand earmarked and
set aside for the payment of such contractual obligations falling due prior to the next tax collection
period, then the annual tax levy may be reduced by such amount. Such other funds may be raised in the
manner provided in said paragraph (2), Section 12 of Act 185, Public Acts of Michigan, 1957, or any
amendments thereto. -
10. This contract is contingent upon the county issuing its negotiable bonds as set forth in
subparagraph (b) of paragraph J. of this contract, to defray the estimated cost of the project, or a
part of the project, which bonds shall be issued under the authorization provided in paragraph (1),
subparagraph (b), Section 11 of said Act 185, Public Acts of Michigan, 1957, as amended.
11. The municipality consents to the establishment and location of the project within its
corporate limits and consents to the use of the streets, alleys and public places of the municipality
for the location, construction, repair, replacement, maintenance and use of the sewage disposal
facilities of the project. After completion, the project shall be used for the collection of sanitary
sewage within the municipality and the transportation of said sanitary sewage to the treatment facilities
of the Milford System for ultimate disposal. Upon completion of the project the county hereby leases
the facilities constituting the project to the municipality upon the same terms and conditions as are
set forth in paragraph 13 of the Base Contract.
The municipality agrees to lease the project from the county upon said terms and conditions
and for the period of the Base Contract and agrees to pay the sum of $1.00 per year on January 1st
of each year commencing January 1, 1972, and in addition to perform its covenants and agreements set
forth in this contract and the Base Contract as a rental for said project.
12. The county and the municipality recognize that the holders from time to time of the bonds
issued by the county under the provisions of said Act 185, Public Acts of Michigan, 1957, as amended,
4111 and secured by the full faith and credit pledge of the municipality to the making of its payments as
set forth in this contract, will have contractual rights in this contract and it is therefore covenanted
and agreed by each party that so long as any of said bonds shall remain outstanding and unpaid, the
provisions of this contract shall not be subject to any alteration or revision which would in any
manner affect either the security of the bonds or the prompt payment of principal or interest thereon.
The municipality and the county further covenant and agree that they will comply with their respective
duties and obligations under the terms of this contract promptly, at the times and in the manner herein
set forth, and will not suffer to be done any act which would in any way impair the said bonds, the
security therefor, or the prompt payment of principal and interest thereon. It is hereby declared that
the terms of this contract in as far as they pertain to the security of any such bonds, shall be deemed
to be for the benefit of the holders of said bonds.
13. This contract shall become effective upon approval by the legislative body of the munici-
pality, by the Board of Public Works of Oakland County, and by the Board of Commissioners of Oakland
County, and duly executed by the authorized officers of the municipality and of the Board of Public
Works. It shall terminate when the Base Contract terminates. This contract may be executed in several
counterparts.
The provisions of this contract shall be in full force and effect and binding upon the successors
and assigns of the parties hereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this contract to be executed and delivered
by their respective duly authorized officers, all as of the day and year first above written.

IN RE: RESOLUTION OPPOSING GRANTING OF APPLICATION TO MICHIGAN LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS TRAINING COUNCIL
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the "Michigan Law Enforcement Officers Training Act of 1965" was originated to provide
for the creation of a law enforcement officers training council; establish a law enforcement officers
training fund and allocations therefrom to local agencies of government participating in a police training
program, and
638
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 17, 1970
WHEREAS the Michigan Law Enforcement Officers Training Council was created to prepare and
publish advisory training standards with due consideration to varying factors and special requirements
of local police agencies; certify training methods qualifying under those standards; cooperate with
state, federal and local police agencies in establishing and conducting local or regional training
centers for instruction and training; and certify reimbursement to local governmental agencies in an
amount not to exceed 1/2 of the salary of each police officer meeting conditions of the act, and
WHEREAS the act was amended to establish mandatory minimum employment standards including at
least 240 institutional hours of study for all officers employed after January 1, 1971, and
WHEREAS existing training agencies in Region One of Southeast Michigan can provide training for
as many as 500 police officers in the year of 1971, but the Michigan Law Enforcement Officers Training
Council grant would not serve them because of the non-supplanting provision of the federal statute; and
WHEREAS all cities in Southeast Michigan which are being served by these facilities would
receive no reimbursement for participating officers, the approval of this program would have an adverse
effect on the local units of governments by reducing their allocation of state money for their training
programs, and
WHEREAS the implementation of the Michigan Law Enforcement Officers Training Council program
would seriously hamper the local units autonomy and incentive and would enforce them to rely more
heavily on continued state design and funding, and -
WHEREAS Region One has designed a training system which would meet the requirements of the
recently enacted statute and would exceed those requirements by responding to the requirements of the
total criminal justice system, and the staff design was submitted to the State Planning Agency in advance
to the enactment of the mandatory training law which forms the basis of the state program under which
funds are sought, and
WHEREAS the State did not include these Regional recommendations in its programs, even with
the advance notification and discussion with regional staff of completion and implementation of this
design so that the portion of training money provided in the state plan is not sufficient to fund the
total system design undertaken by Region One, and
WHEREAS the local unit waiver of their right to use training funds or the Law Enforcement
Assistance Administration's affirmative response to the State Planning Agency's request to allow it to
proceed outside of the waiver process, would disastrously subvert local unit competence, continued local
unit funding, and local unit program design as established by the Region One Council;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that this Board declares its opposition to this maneuver, and
recommends to the State Planning Agency, to the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, to Michigan
Law Enforcement Officers Training Council and to the Governor, and the Senators from the State of
Michigan that:
1. The attempt to waive the local unit requirement in favor of this program be rejected.
2. That the local unit of government plans for the development of centers and institutes in
this region be implemented.
3. That the State program funding for additional Michigan Law Enforcement Officers Training
Council demands made by the mandatory training act be allocated to them for the acquisition of staff,
to provide the services which the law mandates, which are namely, accreditation, establishment of
standards, and inspection of facilities.
4. That the funds for this function be restricted to that portion allocated to the State in
accordance with the intent of the Omnibus Crime Control Act.
5. That the Congress and the State Planning Agency do everything in their power to fund the
planning efforts of the Region One Council at an adequate level; to guarantee that it can increase the
competence of the local units of governments; and to provide for the manpower development of a pro-
fessional cadre within the criminal justice system, by increasing the amount of money allocated to the
state and the regions for criminal justice planning.
6. That copies of this resolution be forwarded to the Honorable James Brickley, Chairman of the
State Crime Commission, and to the Honorable Philip Hart and Honorable Robert Griffin, United States
Senators from Michigan.
Mr. Chairman, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
