Attached hereto as Exhibit "C", and by this reference made a part hereof, is a schedule of the annual principal and interest payments to be made to the County by the Municipality computed at an assumed interest rate of 7-1/2% per annum on the estimated cost of the project. Immediately upon the issuance of any bonds by the County to finance the cost of the project, or any portion thereof, the Board shall notify the Municipality, by written communication addressed to its treasurer, of the schedule of actual payments of the principal of and interest on the bonds and the paying agent fees and bond handling charges (exclusive of capitalized interest) thereon, and the total amount of each annual payment to be made by said Municipality.

The obligation herein expressed shall be applicable to all bonds issued by the County to construct and complete the project, as herein defined, whether issued at one time or at more than one time. It is assumed that the principal of the bonds represents the cost of the project. If funds are available from the Municipality or any other source to pay the project cost, or any portion thereof, prior to the issuance of bonds, then its obligation 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 in addition to interest of one-half of one per cent (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, by surrendering to the County bonds issued in antici- pation of payments to be made under this Contract, of a like principal amount maturing in the same calendar year with all future due interest coupons attached thereto. The Municipality may also prepay its obligation to the County for any year with respect to which bonds of the County are callable, at a time when such bonds are callable, by paying the principal, interest and call premium required to call the bonds on the next available call date. 8. In the event that the Municipality shall fail for any reason to pay to the Board at the 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 county official charged with disbursement to such Munici- pality 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 the Municipality to withhold sufficient funds derived from such sales tax levy and returnable to the Municipality as may be needed to correct such default, and to pay said sums so withheld to the Board to apply on the obligation of the defaulting 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, the purpose of this provision being solely to voluntarily authorize the use of such funds to meet past due obligations of the Municipality to which said moneys are owed. 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 pay- ment of the 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; provided, only that nothing herein contained shall limit the obligation of the County to perform in accordance with the promises and covenants contained herein. 9. 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.

TOWNSHIP OF OAKLAND - OAKLAND COUNTY, MICHIGAN It having been brought to the attention of the Oakland Township Board of Trustees that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners has requested, by and through its Planning Director, George Skrubb, and Robert Allen, its corporation counsel, that proposed legislation be drafted which would appear to permit and authorize the Oakland County Planning Director, Oakland County Coordination Zoning and Planning Committee and/or Oakland County Commissioners to proceed to plan for, acquire, finance and develop "New Towns" or "Paired Cities" within Oakland County and the greater Oakland County Metropolitan area; and further, that such legislation would appear to provide for the exemption and/or removal of such proposed "New Towns" or "Paired Cities" and areas thereof involved from: (a) the tax rolls of the communities involved: (b) the control of the constituted political subdivision presently required to provide the normal and necessary zoning and planning pursuant to Act 183 of P.A. of 1943, and deprives such communities of the individual prerogatives of self-determination; that in connection therewith, there appears to be no provision for the incorporation of a municipal corporation as presently provided for and required by law and/or the providing for the necessary fire and police protection as well as other community services necessary to support a community as apparently envisioned as a "New Town" or "Paired City" such as water, sewers, schools, recreation, library and other services necessary to the health and welfare of a develop- ed high density community. Such proposals as recently published in the Pontiac Press would appear to be an attempt by certain portions of the Oakland County Government to go beyond and contrary to the letter and spirit of the County Home Rule enabling legislation Act 293 of P.A. of 1966 (MCLA 45.501), in that there is an apparent attempt to gain authority for and in the Oakland County Planning Director at the expense of the Township units of Government, as provided by law, and without the consent of either the population thereof or the lawfully constituted Governments thereof, which would in effect: (1) deny the right of the citizens of the Townships of this County to effect the orderly development of their community pursuant to their own needs, desires, and abilities, and contrary to the individual self-determination of such communities; (2) remove from the tax rolls, properties which presently generate revenues in support of all units of Government, Township, School, County, and special tax districts, which are now desperately needed to ensure the continued orderly development of the total community; and (3) transfer from the legally constituted Governments, the powers and duties necessary to ensure continued orderly development of a political community, as provided pursuant to Act 183 of P.A. of 1943, and vest same in an appointed non-responsive County official who is not politically responsible to the citizens of the area affected. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland Township Board of Trustees, the duly elected and constituted Government for the Township of Oakland, be of record as opposing any form of legislation which would tend to diminish the ability of the citizens of said Township by and through their duly elect- ed political and governmental officials to assert their rights of self-determination as to the planning and development of their community, to determine and have assessed equally among their Township the taxes to generate revenues necessary to support their community and services required for an orderly society, 55 Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 4, 1971 without threats or cohersion from outside influences of County Government and/or its agents; namely, that the Oakland Township Board of Trustees be, and hereby is, opposed to the enabling legislation pro- posed for the creation and establishment of New Towns", "Paired Cities", or "Twin-Cities". FURTHER, BE IT RESOLVED that a copy of the foregoing Resolution be sent to the Honorable Fred D. Houghten, County Commissioner, representing the 1st District of Oakland County, and the Honorable Niles E. Olson, representing the 22nd District of Oakland County, urging their total opposition to the suggested enabling legislation supporting "New Towns", as well as to the Supervisors for the Townships of Lake Orion, White Lake and the municipal authorities for the City of Novi, seeking their support.

HEALTH COMMITTEE Dale C. Burley, Chairman $ 1,000.00 $ 6,200.00 59 Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 4, 1971 OAKLAND COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF DRUG ABUSE CONTROL DIVISION OF SPECIAL SERVICES Research Data Team Field Supervisor Field Coordinator Field Coordinator Field Coordinator The Research Data Team will operate under the supervision of the Division of Special Services, Its function will vary, on the basis of demand and priority, as it serves in support of the total depart- mental operation. The multiple programs currently established in the many communities of the county and the individual projects of the three divisions of the department have become widespread and continue to grow into multi-operational fields. The Research Data Team will perform the following functions: PROGRAM DATA COMPUTATION Assemble, compute and report statistical information gathered from community programs so that it may be evaluated in monitoring the operational success of such programs. Gather and report other designated information that will assist in determining future program needs and/or appropriate changes in approach and implementation. TEACHING AND TRAINING AIDS Assist in gathering and evaluating reported research, training and teaching aids and drug related information to be used in community education workshops and teacher in-service education programs. RESEARCH FOR NEWSLETTER PUBLICATIONS The result of researching materials, techniques and program implementation from multiple sources will allow the compiling of information that will be published in newsletter form, monthly, to assist in the awareness of satellite center coordinators and the medical community. RESEARCH FOR MANUAL PUBLICATIONS The Research Data Team will assemble and assist in the evaluation of materials to be used in the construction of training and educational manuals published by this department in assistance to the law enforcement community and the general public. SURVEYS AND STUDIES Surveys and studies designed to supply this department and its respective coordinated programs with pertinent information to assist in the identification and analysis of specific problem areas will be conducted by the Research Data Team. Such areas to be covered in this effort include the many school districts, the medical community, the law enforcement community, the court systems, current treatment and rehabilitation facilities and industry. IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS OF DANGEROUS SUBSTANCE Through contract with personnel in the school districts, community programs, law enforcement agencies, the medical community and the general public members of the Research Data Team will come in contact with physical substances of abuse. Samples of same will be secured for identification and analysis. The result of these findings will be used in determining what substances are currently found in abuse, in what forms, and by what classes of people. Such information is to be used in preventive education and to identify potential problem areas and begin to design safeguards in programming and supply pertinent information to programs currently operational. Members of the Research Data Team will receive appropriate training in the methods of identi- fication and analysis of such alleged dangerous substances. In short, the Research Data Team will establish that information related, and pertinent to, the current and future operation of this department and the coordinated programs that will assist in the evaluation of past and current methods and assist in future direction. PROPOSED BUDGET - RESEARCH DATA TEAM WAGES. Field Supervisor Field Coordinator Field Coordinator Field Coordinator TRAINING AND CONVERENCE: Tuitions Materials Travel Lodging Meals LABORATORY: Microscope Chemicals Lob Utensils Storage and Security TRANSPORTATION: Projected Expense MATERIALS: Preparation (instruments) Tape Recorders (gathering) Tabulating Reporting $11,000.00 1,980.00 10,000.00 1,800.00 10,000.00 1,800.00 10,000.00 1,800.00 $48,380.00 $ 4,000.00 $ 3,000.00 MATERIALS FOR EVALUATION: Films Research Documents Education and teaching aids MISCELLANEOUS: $ 2,000.00 $ 1,000.00 Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 4, 1971 60 $65,580.00 TRAINING AND CONFERENCE The projected cost in this area is difficult to estimate for the period of twelve months. Many conferences, seminars and programs that it may be essential are attended, are yet to be developed or announced. However, training in the area of pharmacology, identification, physical analysis, treat- ment techniques and reporting is currently available. The known cost of affording this education to the Research Data Team is included in the projected estimate. The total for the twelve-month period is pro- posed allowance of $1,000.00 per man. Through the period of operation, a highly selective process based upon demand as it relates to current need, will determine attendance of training and conferences while remaining within the appropri- ations allocated for this purpose. TRANSPORTATION Because of the constant demand for travel involved in the operation of the Research Data Team, it will be necessary for vehicles to be at their constant disposal. Surveys, studies, the monitoring of program and the necessary liaison work with community organizations and agencies, contact with the medical, law enforcement and school communities lend to the primary justification to the need for constantly available transportation. LABORATORY The sum of monies proposed for the establishing of a laboratory has been done so in a manner that will allow the continued use of equipment, following the duration of the project period. During the project period, alleged dangerous substances will be subject to analysis by the Research Data Team for multiple purposes -- To determine types of substances found available and abused in respective geographic areas. To use such information in preventive education in those areas. To identify counterfeit and misrepresented substances, again so awareness might be created in preventive measures. To identify substances upon introduction to new areas and preceed volume in prevention efforts. To serve in identification of substance encountered by satellite operations, school communities and the medical community. To identify and report such identification and associated information through the newsletter communications to whom they are directed. The laboratory will also supplement educational efforts in training programs conducted within the physical facilities of the department, and will continue to be of use to this department in the identified areas subsequent to the project period. MATERIALS Here again is an extremely broad area which is difficult to define in detail enough to create an accurate understanding and evaluate potential need and associated costs. Basically, here is identified the estimated cost of office supply materials used in developing the instruments for survey and study and then the production in volume of that to be used in gathering statistics and information. Upon receipt of such statistics and information, that material used in computing, tabulating and reporting results. Within the cost estimate are included tape recorders for their use in appropriate areas. MATERIALS FOR EVALUATION Within the cost estimate of this budget area is the projected cost of rental, lease and purchase price of films, tapes, research reports and other documents that it will be necessary to obtain for evaluation. Once evaluated, portions of such documents or their results may be used in many areas of departmental projects and assist development in the direction of future training, school workshops, contribute to the Drug Information Repository and support the formulation of survey and study instruments. Information gained from these sources may subsequently be used in preparing manual and news- letter publications. MISCELLANEOUS It is proposed that the indicated amount be allocated for the purpose of remaining available for use in support of identified budget areas that may need further financial assistance during the project period or to implement additional service areas that may be found critical to the success of the project. Particularly, within the implementation of new concepts, research and the development of supportive efforts to multiple project and programs, financial consideration must be given this area. Moved by Burley supported by Lennon the resolution be adopted. The Chairman ordered the resolution be referred to the Finance Committee. There were no objections. 61 Commissionters Minutes Continued.

Permission for stewards to leave their work stations will not be unreasonably withheld. Stewards will report their time to their supervisor upon returning from a grievance discussion. The privilege of stewards to leave their work during working hours, without loss of pay, is extended with the understanding that the time will be devoted to the prompt handling of grievances and will not be abused, and that they will continue to work at their assigned jobs at all times except when permitted to leave their work to handle grievances.

GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE The Employer and the Union support and subscribe to an orderly method of adjusting employee grievances. To this end, the Employer and the Union agree that an employee should first bring his problem or grievance to the attention of his immediate supervisor, with or without his steward, who shall attempt to resolve the grievance informally. Dismissals, suspensions, demotions and disciplinary actions of any type shall not be a subject for the grievance procedure but shall be processed according to the procedures of the Personnel Appeal Board. Step 1. If the grievance is not settled informally, it shall be discussed with the appropriate steward and shall be reduced to writing, signed by the grievant and submitted to his immediate supervisor. Step 2. The written grievance shall be discussed between the steward and the immediate supervisor and the Chief Steward if so desired. The supervisor will attempt to adjust the matter and will give his written decision within five (5) days (excluding Saturday, Sunday and holidays) of receipt of the written grievance. Step 3.

Expenses for arbitration shall be borne equally by both parties. If the parties fail to select an arbitrator, one will be selected under the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

(4) Misc. 5672 By Mr. Brennan IN RE: ALLOCATION BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 1972 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) provides the County shall, at the April Session of the Board of Commissioners, submit a budget to the County 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, your Finance Committee, together with your Personnel Practices Committee and the County Board of Auditors, as jointly charged, herewith present their recommendations for the period January 1, 1972 to December 31, 1972. The sole objective of this budget is to prepare for submission to the County Tax Allocation Board a realistic total picture of the County's 1972 operational needs, those resources other than the general property tax which will be available for that purpose, and the amount of the property tax revenues necessary if those needs are to be implemented. That body, as charged by law, then determines the respective tax rates for those local units, including the County, who share the fifteen mill general property tax. In light of this process, your Committee again advises all agencies and County Department Heads that the recommendations herein cannot in any degree be regarded as binding until final budget consideration when the tax rate is known and other revenues and costs can be more fully evaluated and determined. The indicated millage of 6.38 needed to finance 1972 operations has been computed on the assumption of a 10% rise in the equalized valuation of the County. Of this millage, 5.83 mills will be required to support presently approved County programs and to meet the necessary work load increases in these programs. The additional .55 mills represents funding for the improvement of present or the inception of new programs deemed necessary to carry out the responsibilities of the County. Your Committee invites your attention to the following factors involved in the conclusions arrived at: PERSONNEL The salaries portion of the budget, set out in the attached joint report of the Personnel Practices Committee and Auditors calls for a total increase of 2.41 million dollars. Included in their recommendation are provisions for 125 new employees (reduced from 206 requested by the County Departments) and a 1.4 million adjustment contingency for salary adjustments. NON-DEPARTMENTAL 1. Other employee costs, including Workmen's Compensation, Employees' Hospitalization Insurance, Employees' Life Insurance, Employees' Retirement Fund, and Social Security, based on increased personnel and rapidly rising costs of these programs, have necessitated an overall increase of $918,000 over 1971 budget estimates for these items. 2. Care of the mentally ill, up $525,000 over 1971, reflects generally increased costs for outside care and increased case loads in these programs. 3. The mandatory 1/4 mill for Huron-Clinton Authority calls for an increase of $118,000 in that appropriation. 4. The increase in election expense of $122,500 is due to the General Election to be held in this year. 5. The increase of $330,000 in Building Authority payments reflects the inclusion of payments for Children's Village Phase II, scheduled for construction and financing in 1972. These payments, together with the allocation of miscellaneous non-tax revenues of $842,000 and the statutory 1/10 mill Building Fund of $521,289 constitute the 1972 financing of the County five-year Capital Program. 6. Support of the OCCEO and County Roads matching program have been continued at the same levels as presently authorized for 1971. DEPARTMENTAL In the area of Departmental Operations, the Committee directs your attention to the reasons and substantiations set out in the respective department budgets. In most respects, it will be noted that projected increases are due to continuing inflation, increased or more difficult work loads, increase in costs of outside services, or charges necessitated by State Law, Supreme Court decisions or other State agency directive. Of special note are the following: 1. The completion of the new County Jail facility adds substantially to the Facilities and Operations Budget (total increased $398,000), the new morgue operations under the Medical Examiner's budget (total increased $45,500), and the Sheriff's Department (total increased $598,000). 107 Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 13, 1971 2. The increase of $82,000 in the Auditors-Drug Abuse Budget is predicated upon the planned effectual growth of this newly-instituted and vital program. 3. Projected increases in the Circuit Court, Circuit Court Probation, Probate Court, Probate Court - Juvenile and Prosecuting Attorney totaling $466,000, are reflective of the changing concepts in those areas calling for more expeditious trials, right of appointment of defense attorneys, increased jury trails and generally increasing and more complex work loads. 4 • In the area of child care, the projected increase of $245,000 is predicated upon both the increased cost of outside care and the more intensive problems involved in the proper treatment and care of those types of children presently coming under these programs. 5. The estimated increase of 1.69 million dollars of Social Welfare costs, as more fully explained in their respective budget, is accounted for primarily in increasing case loads, as indicated by previous experience and State recommended increases in family budget allowances to meet cost-of- living increases. RECEIPTS While estimated 1972 receipts reflect an overall reduction of $637,500 over 1971, it must be noted that the 1971 receipts included a one-time reimbursement of $388,402, bringing the net reduction to $299,000. In most instances, normal growth patterns have indicated increases. However, the following exceptions are to be noted: 1. Current estimates of the State income tax point up that, while there should be an improvement over 1970 actual receipts, 1971 estimates could be on the high side, by as much as $400,000. 2. The decrease in use of money and property revenues is based on the decreasing interest rates being paid on County Invested Funds, plus the fact that some $700,000 of interest actually earned in 1969 for technical reasons had to be credited to 1970 revenues. In the judgment of your Finance Committee, these recommendations, including the joint recommendations of the Personnel Practices Committee and the Auditors, represents, in so far as present information is available, the amounts necessary to finance County operations for 1972. Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move the adoption of the attached allocation budget in the amount of $44,116,149, necessitating a requested property tax levy of $33,299,776, for submission to the County Tax Allocation Board.

Overtime was paid from unspent salaries resulting from turnover, vacant positions, etc. 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. 1972 Total Salaries Budget includes $200,000 for the employment of student help during the summer and $20,000 for Training and Tuition Reimbursement. 1971 & 1972 - Total Salaries Budget (B) includes $139,200 for 58 Student Positions. 110 ,•-•"`\ Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 13, 1971 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 lenght of County Service. The costing is made on the assumption that the same employees will be filling the same position in 1972 as are filling them now. PERSONNEL TURNOVER ADJUSTMENT 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 in the Budget Summary on the Index Page. For this budget the Personnel Turnover Adjustment amount is $600,000. SALARY RESERVE FUND Funds for the following purposes 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 allocated at this time:to particular departments. Funds for New Positions are transferred to departmental budgets only when the positions are filled and only the amount needed to cover the cost of the position for the remainder of the year is transferred. Funds for Emergency Salaries, Overtime and Summer Employment are transferred monthly to cover actual expenditures during the month. This method of allotting these funds insures a tight control and forces a monthly review of these activities. NEW POSITIONS One hundred and twenty-five new positions costing $1,093,829 are recommended for 20 County Departments out of the 206 new positions costing $1,848,206 which were requested by the departments. Descriptions of the positions requested and recommended and the reasons they were requested are given on the shorter colored pages of the budget document. Of the 125 new positions recommended, two are for carrying out present programs at their same level for the same workload, 53 are for applying present programs to an increased workload and 70 are for new and improved programs. The recommendations were arrived at after hearings with the departments involved, in which the need for almost all of the 206 requested positions were well substantiated. Many were repeat requests from previous years and most of the requested positions would be involved in staffing categories of service to the public which are provided only by County Government. EMERGENCY SALARIES "Emergency Salaries" amounts are granted to certain departments to cope with fluctuating caseloads, 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. 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. Approximately $412,000 was spent for this purpose in 1970. SUMMER EMPLOYMENT Oakland County has traditionally hired college and high school students to perform a variety of routine jobs 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 Auditors coordinated programs, allows the Personnel Practices Committee to oversee summer employment distribution. IN-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 training activities, which have become more important as the County seeks to upgrade present employees instead of fighting in the competitive market for the hard-to-get specialists and technicians. The major expenditures from this fund are to finance the County's Tuition Reimbursement Program under which tuition is reimbursed to an employee after he has successfully completed a course which was approved by both his department head and the Board of Auditors through its Personnel Division. CONTINGENCY ADJUSTMENTS Because it is impractical to allocate funds for possible salary adjustments and reclassifications to individual departments or classifications at the time of the Allocation Budget, the County traditionally budgets a lump sum amount for these possibilities in its Allocation Budget. Of the $1,352,616 recommended for this purpose, $352,616 represents amounts which will probably be included in the cost of previously approved positions in the Final 1972 Budget, as 1971 salary rates for several of the County's bargaining groups are still in the process of negotiation at the time this budget is being prepared. The million dollars included for 1972 Contingency Adjustments is merely an educated estimate and should not be considered as any sort of a definite salary commitment at this time. A salary survey is conducted in the fall and, department heads are given a fresh opportunity to state the 13,369,740 12,723,453 18,622,956 600,000 18,022,956 44,116,149 11,658,373 842 000 10,816,373 33,299,776 44,116,149 25,000 5,500 507,611 6,000 1,243,000 521,289 2,370,143 ( 595,143) (1,500,000) ( 275,000) 182,000 5,000 750,000 35,000 475,000 125,000 890,225 172,250 25,000 1,800,000 2,000 1,303,222 125,000 16,000 40,000 9,000 118,000 100,000 700,000 890,000 500 135,000 2,500 7,000 123,000 5,000 7,500 11,500 16,500 20,000 500,000 100,000 13,369,740 180,313 1,449,707 158,911 59,015 318,429 2,445,476 ( 268,361) (2,177,115) 233,773 443,916 111 Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 13, 1971 salary needs of their departments. In addition, negotiations with the County's organized employees do not begin until the fall. The need for such funds in the final budget depends on economic and labor market conditions and the results of the County's collective bargaining. 1972 ALLOCATION BUDGET SUMMARY Non-Departmental Appropriations Departments and Institutions Operating Budgets Salaries Budget Less: Personnel Turnover Adjustment Net Salaries Financed Total Budget to be Financed Estimated Receipts Less: Allocation of Misc.

If, in the steward's opinion, proper cause for the complaint exists, a meeting on the problem shall take place between the grievant, the steward and the immediate supervisor. In the event that the Union is dissatisfied with the results of the meeting, the Union shall have the right to submit a written grievance on the complaint to the immediate supervisor within three days.

Any grievance not submitted to the Grievance Committee by written notification to the Employer within five days shall be considered dropped. A meeting on the grievance shall be held by the Grievance Committee within ten days unless the time is extended by mutual agreement of both parties. Step 4 Any matter not settled in Step 3 of the grievance procedure may be submitted to final and binding arbitration by either of the parties. A request for arbitration must be submitted by written notice to the other party within fifteen (15) days after the grievance committee meeting. Expenses for arbitration shall be borne equally by both parties. If the parties fail to select an arbitrator, one will be selected under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The Arbitrator shall have no power or authority to add to, subtract from, alter or modify the terms of this agreement, or set a wage rate. Section 2 The time limits specified hereinafter for movement of grievances through the process shall be strictly adhered to. In the event that a grievance is not appealed within the particular specified time limit, it shall be deemed to be settled on the basis of the Employer's last answer. In the event that the Employer shall fail to supply the Union with its answer to the particular step within the specified time limits, the grievance shall be deemed automatically positioned for appeal at the next step with the time limit for exercising said appeal commencing with the expiration of the grace period for answering. Section 3 All specified time limits herein shall consist only of County work days Monday through Friday. Section 4 Each grievance shall have to be initiated within three (3) days of each occurrence of the cause for complaint or, if neither the aggrieved nor the Union had knowledge of said occurrence at the time of its happening, then within three (3) days after the Union or the aggrieved becomes aware of the cause for complaint. VI. SENIORITY New Employees may acquire seniority by working six (6) continuous months (refer to Rule 7 - Probationary Period, Oakland County Merit System Handbook), in which event the employee's seniority will date back to the date of hire into the department. The date of employment will be determined by the first date of eligible employment in the department as described in Rule 22 of the Oakland County Merit System Handbook. When the employee acquires seniority, his name shall be placed on the seniority list, in the order of his seniority date. An up-to-date seniority list shall be furnished to the Union every three (3) months. An employee shall lose his seniority for the following reasons: (a) If the employee resigns or retires; (b) If the employee is discharged, and not reinstated; (c) If the employee is absent from work for three working days, without properly notifying the Employer, unless a satisfactory reason is given; (d) If the employee does not return to work at the end of an approved leave; (e) If the employee does not return to work when recalled from a layoff. VII. LAYOFF AND RECALL If and when it becomes necessary for the Employer to reduce the number of employees in the work force, the employees will be laid off in unit seniority order (maintenance, custodial and grounds are to be considered separate units), based on capability of performing available jobs and shall be recalled in the inverse order (refer to Rule 9 - Oakland County Merit System Handbook). All employees so laid off shall be offered the opportunity of recall prior to the hiring of any new employees. VIII. PROMOTIONS All promotions within the bargaining unit shall be made on the basis of competitive examination as provided for in the Oakland County Merit System. The employer will make his selection for promotion from the three highest ranking candidates who have passed the promotional examination. The qualification for admission to the examination will be seniority in a classification within the bargaining unit and meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification of the vacancy as shown in the latest dated written specification for that classification. In cases for which all other aspects of the examination result in equal examination scores, seniority in the immediate lower classification or classifications shall be the determining factor in arriving at the final ranking of the candidates. These promotional examinations shall be conducted under the provisions of the Merit System applying to continuous examinations. The Eligibility Lists shall be superseded by new Eligibility Lists after a period of not less than two (2) years. IX. RATES FOR NEW JOBS When any position not listed on the wage schedule is filled or established, the County may designate a job classification and rate structure for the position. In the event the Union does not agree that the classification, rate or structure are proper, the Union shall have the right to request a meeting of the special conference committee to discuss the matter. X. TEMPORARY CHANGE OF RATE In those cases in which the temporary assignment includes taking over the ultimate responsibility inherent in the higher level job, and in which the employee working in the temporary assignment has qualified for the higher level classification by taking and passing the promotional Merit System examination for that classification; and in which the temporary assignment is for at least 115 Commissioners Minutes Continued.

REPORT By Mr. Barakat IN RE: RESOLUTION NO. 5669 - MICHIGAN BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY SERVICE INCREASE To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: On April 1, 1971, I introduced to this body a resolution requesting a public hearing in Oakland County on the proposed Michigan Bell rate increase. Since that date petty politics and partisan quarreling has caused delays in permitting the resolution to come to the floor for proper debate. In a last ditch effort to bring this resolution before this board, I served notice at the last board meeting on April 27, 1971 of my intention to discharge the Local and Regional Affairs Committee thus permitting this resolution to come before us. Since then I have been informed that it is absolutely too late for the Public Service Commission to establish a hearing date for us in Oakland County. I regret that the county, as a telephone customer and the people of Oakland County will not have the opportunity to be heard in their own county. Therefore I respectfully request the demise of the resolution and inform the public of Oakland County that two dates have been set and that they may, if they want to be heard, travel to the City-County Building of Detroit on May 26, 1971 or to Lansing on June 14, 1971 where the only two public hearings in Michigan will be held. Joseph L. Barakat County Commissioner, District #5 Mr. Barakat announced that a resolution would be presented at the next meeting of the Board. Discussion followed.

It is assumed that the principal of the bonds represents the cost of the project. If the municipality should pay the project cost, or any portion thereof, or funds shall be received by grant or otherwise to apply against the cost of the project, prior to the issuance of bonds, then the obligation of the municipality shall be adjusted accordingly. If the municipality shall fail to make any of such payments when due, the amount thereof shall be subject to a penalty in addition to interest 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, by surrendering to the county bonds issued in anticipation of payments to be made under this contract, of a like principal amount maturing in the same calendar year with all future due interest coupons attached thereto. 8. in the event that the municipality shall fail for any reason to pay to the board at the 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 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 or of any other funds, is by these presents specifically authorized by the municipality to withhold sufficient funds derived from such sales tax levy (but not in excess in any one year of 25% of the amount of default) or other funds and returnable to the municipality in default, and to pay said sums so withheld to the board to apply on the obligation of the defaulting 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, the purpose of this provision being solely to voluntarily authorize the use of such funds to meet past due obligations of the municipality to which said moneys are owed. 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.

Included on said Exhibit B is a line item of cost which is in the amount of the obligation of the Village of Franklin under the Addition Agreements to pay in cash on April 1, 1971, the sum of $115,444.82, including interest from April 1 to October 1, 1971. This item has been taken into account in calculating the percentage of cost to be paid by the Village of Franklin as set forth above in this paragraph. 5. The amount to be paid by each village shall be divided into annual installments, numbered in direct order of their maturities. The aggregate amount of each installment as to each village and the division thereof between the villages are set forth in Exhibit C hereto attached and by this reference made a part hereof. Said installments shall be due in consecutive numerical order on the first day of April in each year, beginning with the year 1972, and all amounts thereof from time to time unpaid, shall bear interest from the date of the bonds to be issued by the county, at the rate per annum payable by the county on said bonds, payable on April 1, 1972, and on the first day of April in each year thereafter.

Accrued interest upon the amount so paid upon any installment, and accrued interest upon the bonds surrendered, shall be adjusted to the date of surrender and any difference shall be paid in cash. All surrendered bonds and coupons shall be canceled. 6. The percentages mentioned in paragraph 4 above shall be computed upon the estimated cost until the actual cost has been determined. If the actual cost shall be less than the estimated cost, then any surplus from the sale of bonds therefor shall be used to purchase such bonds on the open market, and in such event the aggregate installment from the villages in the year or in each of the years in which the bonds so purchased mature, shall be reduced by the principal amount of such bonds and each village shall be credited in accordance with its percentage as set in paragraph 4 hereof. Any bonds so purchased shall be canceled. As an alternative, by agreement of the parties hereto, such surplus may be used for further extensions in the villages in the same percentage apportionment as set forth in paragraph 4 hereof. The estimated cost above referred to shall be that set forth in Exhibit B hereto or as revised prior to the issuance of bonds. If the actual cost shall be greater than the estimated cost, then the additional amount shall be allocated between the villages in accordance with the percentages set forth in paragraph 4 hereof, and the several then remaining installments for each village shall be increased accordingly. 7. Each of the villages does hereby pledge its full faith and credit for the prompt payment of the aforesaid obligations and shall each year levy a tax in an amount which taking into consideration estimated delinquencies in tax collections, will be sufficient for the prompt payment of any amount falling due before the time of the following year's tax collection, unless at the time of making such annual levy there shall be cash on hand (as provided for in paragraph (2), Section 12, of Act No. 185, Public Acts of 1957, as amended) earmarked for the payment of the current obligations for which the tax levy is to be made, in which case the annual tax levy may be reduced by that amount. Funds for which credit may be so taken, may be raised in the manner provided in paragraph (2), Section 12 of said Act 185, Public Acts of 1957, as now existing or hereafter amended. 8. The county shall issue its negotiable bonds to defray the capital cost of said Extension No. 1, which bonds shall be secured by the full faith and credit pledges of the two villages under this agreement. Said bonds shall be issued pursuant to the provisions of said act and the applicable general statutes of the state where not in conflict with said act. 9. The provisions of this agreement shall not be modified or terminated so as to impair the security of any bonds issued by the county upon the full faith and credit pledges of the villages. It is hereby declared that the terms of this agreement 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, 10. The Village of Bingham Farms consents to the use by the county of the public streets, alleys, lands and rights-of-way in the village for the purpose of constructing, operating and main- taining the Extension No. 1 and of any improvements, enlargements and extensions thereto. The villages reaffirm their covenant and warrant that all sanitary sewage originating in their respective units shall be delivered only to the Evergreen Sewage Disposal System, including extensions thereto, for transporta- tion therein and ultimate disposal. Lands (other than highways) owned by or under the jurisdiction of the villages or the county, located within the Evergreen Sewage Disposal District, shall be liable, if sanitary sewage emanates therefrom, to the same extent as privately owned lands, to pay the charges for sewage disposal services with respect thereto. 11. This agreement shall become effective upon being approved by the legislative bodies of the municipalities and by the Board of Public Works and Board of Commissioners of Oakland County and properly executed by the officers of the municipalities and of the Board of Public Works. This agree- ment shall terminate when the Base Agreement terminates.

Mr. Powell requested that the following statement be made a part of the minutes of this meeting. There were no objections. Republican Statement Regarding Refusal of Chair to Recognize Appeal The Democratic caucus adopted rules at the commencement of this term for the County Board of Commissioners which purported to be based on Roberts Rules of Order when, in fact, said rules are changeable at the will of the majority. One of these rules as adopted, as aforesaid, has been continually ignored by the Chairman and a majority of the Board, that being the right of appeal of rulings of the Chair. When the only safeguard and relief available to the members of this body in opposition to the improper decisions or violation of rules is ignored, there is no available remedy but to withdraw presence from such a body as to not be party to such denials of rights. Where there is no right or recognition of right of appeal, there can be no justice and no democratic process. Additionally, the ruling in this matter was improper under Roberts Rules as modified by this Board inasmuch as Mr. Gabler's discussion was germane to the resolution before the Board: 1. The resolution proposed to take a 30-day option for the purchase of the General Motors Building in Pontiac to solve space problems of the County. 2. Mr. Gabler was speaking in opposition to taking of said option based on the existence of better alternatives and therefore his discussion was germane. It is the position of the Republican caucus that in view of these circumstances all business transacted in their absence was and is in violation of the rules of the Board and denial of their rights under said rules and is therefore invalid and not binding. The Chairman stated that the ruling of the Chair on the appeal on Resolution #5729 was in error. Moved by Pernick supported by Kasper the vote on Resolution #5729 be reconsidered. A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the motion carried. Discussion followed, Moved by Brennan supported by Harrison that Resolution #5729, in re: Option for purchase of Administration Building from General Motors Corporation, be adopted. AYES: Richards, Simson, Szabo, Wilcox, Aaron, Barakat, Bawden, Brennan, Burley, Coy, Daly, Edwards, Gabler, Hamlin, Harrison, Houghten, Kasper, Lennon, Mathews, Olson, Patnales, Perinoff, Pernick, Powell. (24) NAYS: Richardson. (1) A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the resolution was adopted. Misc. 5731 By Mr. Olson IN RE; HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS Woodward Avenue, 1-75, 1-96, Telegraph Road and Southfield Freeway are very heavily traveled State trunk line highways in the urbanized area of Oakland County; and WHEREAS said highways act as the major means of access to and through most of the cities in Oakland County and also serve as "main streets" in a number of cities; and WHEREAS the appearance of these highways in terms of minimum litter, clean pavements and grass mowed at reasonable intervals is essential to the entire appearance of these cities and to their overall well being; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners for Oakland County urges the State Highway Commission to review the current budget allocations for this work with the intent of providing increased attention and more frequent activity throughout the urbanized areas of Oakland County that would assure a more adequate appearance on State trunk line highways; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to the State Highway Commission, the maintenance department of the Department of State Highways and the Oakland County Road Commission. 172 Commissioners Minutes Continued.

June 17, 1971 Misc. 5746 By Mr. Aaron IN RE: INTERIM REPORT ON MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION NO. 5587-DISTRICT COURT PROBATION To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: On January 11, 1971, Miscellaneous Resolution No. 5587 was submitted to the Board of Commissioners asking that the County of Oakland, through its Probation Department, assume on a county-wide basis all district and lower court probation programs. The resolution, if adopted, would eliminate the need for lower courts to maintain their own probation departments and programs and would permit a standardization and improvement of existing lower court probation programs. Pursuant to this resolution, your committee did invite the Honorable Keith Leenhouts who did, on March 23, 1971, testify in reference to the establishment of a volunteer probation program similar to the very successful program instituted in Royal Oak and other cities. Judge Leenhouts submitted various recommendations as to the establishment of such a program on the County-wide basis. On April 15, 1971, Judges Gerald E. McNally and Robert L. Shipper did further testify before your committee. From this testimony, it appeared that in certain jurisdictions, a locally oriented volunteer program could be most successful and of great value to the local community. In jurisdictions having many cases involving non-resident defendants, the volunteer type program is not effective. On May 25, 1971, Mr. Conrad Konczal, County Probation Officer, District and Municipal Courts Probation Division, Oakland County Circuit Court Department, appeared before your committee. His unit contains three probation officers who process and maintain on an active basis in excess of one thousand matters annually. It is obvious to your committee that an average caseload of the magnitude presently existing precludes individual attention between the probation officer and defendant. Mr. Konczal submitted a written report and recommendations which are on file with the Committee Clerk. Among his recommendations were the following: 1. A dramatic increase in staff to achieve one full time probation officer for each judge. 2. Determine and define the purpose, functions and procedures of the District Court Probation Division. 3. Make the assistance of the Data Processing Department available. 4. Develop a uniform program for volunteer probation officers and develop an organizational structure to carry out the aims of this program. 5. Make funds available for the purchase of special services for rehabilitative purposes. On June 7, 1971, your committee did further discuss the problems involved in assuming and operating district court probation and did receive various recommendations from the Board of Auditors. Your committee is uniformly agreed that the presently existing probation programs at the circuit and lower courts level does not adequately meet the problems. The heavy caseload per probation officer coupled with the department's obligation for pre-sentence investigations leaves little time for counseling and rehabilitative work so necessary for a successful program. If unlimited funds were available to reduce the caseload, more meaningful results could be expected. The President's Commission on Law Enforcement recommends a caseload of 35 per probation officer. Your committee was advised further that the procedures and operations of the probation depart- ment is presently under study by the Court Administrator's Office and the Board of Auditors Office. It is anticipated that this study will incorporate new ideas and new programs for the department. Because of the magnitude of the problem, this report and findings will not be available in the immediate future, but it is anticipated that various recommendations and suggested changes will be forthcoming over the next two years. These recommendations will be made available to this Board of Commissioners. RECOMMENDATION Your committee recommends that no immediate action be made as to Miscellaneous Resolution No. 5587 and that said resolution be tabled in committee pending receipt of the report and recommendation from the Court Administrator and Board of Auditors. Dennis M. Aaron, Chairman PUBLIC PROTECTION AND JUDICIARY COMMITTEE Moved by Aaron supported by Gabler the report be accepted. A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the motion carried. Misc. 5747 By Mr. Brennan IN RE: AUDITORS SAFEGUARD MEASURES To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Auditors has recommended to your Finance Committee, certain financial measures to maintain the County fiscal solvency, and WHEREAS your Committee agrees with and recommends to this Board the following financial measures. 1.

The marginal location of the two major hospitals, William Beaumont and Martin Place East at northwest and southeast edges, respectively, of the community; 2. The concentration of all four hospitals on inpatient treatment facilities, to the detriment of many preventive or ambulatory services; 3. The unusually high degree of specialization of area physicians and the corresponding reduction in general practitioners; 4.

Misc. 5757 By Mr. Edwards IN RE: REVISION OF THE OAKLAND COUNTY 1971 CAPITAL PROGRAM, 1971 -75 To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: While the only question before the Board at this time, under Resolution #5718, is the acquisition of the General Motors Building for the sum of $200,000, your Committee recognizes that availability of funds involves the costs of those necessary alterations to the building. Your Committee has examined the attached proposed, revised Capital Financing Schedule for the years 1971-2 and concur that, to meet the estimated financial commitments to acquire and renovate the General Motors Building, as well as to meet the impending emergency in re: the Courthouse Tower marbeling, that the 1971-2 Capital Financing Schedule, under the present five-year County Capital Program, should be revised as indicated. It should be noted that this five-year program, as updated annually, serves solely as a planning guide to the orderly construction of County facilities in terms of needs, priority, and in relation to the financial ability of the County, and is not binding on this Board except insofar as the individual projects are implemented and funds appropriated for that particular purpose. By way of additional information, your Committee has been advised that the State and Federal government will, through annual payments amortized over the useful life of the improvements, subsidize the cost of the building and improvements in an estimated amount of $243,320. Ladies and Gentlemen, on behalf of the Planning and Building Committee, I move that this report be received and the revisions recommended in the 1971-2 Capital Financing Schedule attached, be approved.

Mr. Mathews presented the following letter: STATE OF MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES LANSING, MICHIGAN 48913 R. BERNARD HOUSTON, Director June 29, 1971 Mr. Daniel T. Murphy, Chairman Oakland County Board of Auditors Pontiac, Michigan Dear Mr. Murphy: The United States Department of Health, Education and Welfare requires the State Department of Social Services to establish and maintain standards for office space, equipment and facilities that will adequately meet the program and staff needs of county departments. The State Department of Social Services can obtain federal financial participation in the cost for space only as long as the county office space meets these prescribed standards. An evaluation of the office space provided by Oakland County for the Oakland County Department of Social Services shows that the amount of space assigned is grossly inadequate to meet the needs of the depart- ment. A county department with 262 employees should have between 32,750 and 39,300 square feet of use- able office space as specified in Chapter IV of the Administrative Handbook. The Oakland County Depart- ment has been assigned only 28,499 square feet; 23,349 in Pontiac and 5,150 in Royal Oak. As you can see, this space assigned is 4,251 square feet less than the minimum standard and 10,801 square feet less than the upper acceptable allocations. lam sire you will agree that this amount of space fails to provide adequate room for private interviews and makes it impossible to provide proper temperature control, ventilation, noise level control and re- lated environmental factors essential to staff health and morale. The crowded conditions also make it extremely difficult to maintain work flow that will provide efficient staff utilization and efficiency. It leaves no room for staff expansion, which has been a continuing reality. These inadequacies must be corrected if the county is to continue to be eligible for federal financial participation in office expense. I realize that the county has been exploring various ways to provide suitable space, but has, as of this date, failed to develop an affirmative plan. On the basis of this failure, and in an effort to encourage action, it is my responsibility to inform you that federal financial participation will be discontinued effective September 30, 1971 unless positive action has been taken to achieve suitable office accomodations. For the record, participation for 1970 totaled $19,175.98. Since your Board of Commissioners meets every month, it should be possible to reach some conclusion in the very near future. Please notify this office of action taken as soon as possible, but no later than September 1, 1971. If the action taken will provide suitable space within a reasonable period, we will consider extending this deadline. Please feel free to contact me at any time if you have any questions or if I may be of assistance. I will be available at any time to meet with you to explore ways possible to attain suitability and continue participation in office expense. My office phone is 517 - 373-6780.

It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the West Bloomfield 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 acquire or con- struct any facilities other than those designated in paragraph 2 hereof. The West Bloomfield Extensions are an improvement, enlargement and extension of the Clinton-Oakland Sewage Disposal System and the Base Contract shall apply thereto except as the same may be specifically modified herein for specific appli- cation to the project, and, in particular the provisions of paragraphs 9, 10, 11 and 16 through 24 shall apply hereto as though set forth in full herein. The county hereby agrees that it will secure, or cuase to be secured, and maintained dur- ing the period of construction adequate property damage and public liability insurance covering all facilities to be constructed pursuant to this contract. All policies and memorandums 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 thereof. One copy of each policy and memorandum 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 amount of 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 amount shall be as shown on Exhibit C attached hereto, the schedule of annual principal payments to be made by the municipality, as subsequently modified. 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 communications 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 obligations of the municipality shall be ad- justed 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 lc%,,) 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 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 Com- missioners 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 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. 213 Commissioners Minutes Continued.

The municipality and the county 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.

(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 annunity 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 1.45 percent of the first $4,200 of his final average compensation and 1.7 percent of the portion, if any, of his final average compensation which is in excess of $4,200. His pension provided in this paragraph shall not exceed $1,800 a year or xxx 3/4 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 re- tirement allowance actuarilly 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 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. Duty Disability Retirement Allowance: Section 33. Upon a member's retirement on account of disability, as provided in section 32, he shall receive a disability retirement allowance provided in section 25, subsection (a). If his retirement occurs prior to his attainment of age 60 years the credited service used in computing his retirement allowance shall be the sum of (1) his credited service in force at the time of his retirement, and (2) the number of years, and fraction of a year, in the period from the date of his retirement to the date he would attain age 60 years. His straight life retirement allowance (1) shall not be less than 17% of his final average compensation nor shall the pension portion thereof exceed xxx 7 per- cent of his final average compensation, and (2) shall be subject to sections 35 (a) and 36. 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. Duty Death Benefits: Section 34. In the event (1) a member dies as the result of a personal injury or disease arising out of and in the course of his employment by the County, or (2) a disability retirant dies prior to his attainment of age 60 years and within 3 years from and after the date of his retirement, as the result of the same injury or disease for which he retired, and in either case his death, injury or disease resulting in death, be found by the Commission to have occurred as the natural and proximate result of causes arising out of and in the course of his actual performance of duty in the employ of the County, the applicable benefits hereinafter provided in this section shall be paid, subject to the con- dition that workmen's compensation is paid on account of the death of the member or retirant and subject to paragraph (e). (a) In the case of a deceased member, his accumulated contributions standing to his credit in the employees savings fund at the time of his death shall be paid in accordance with section 37. (b) The widow to whom the deceased member or retirant was married at the time his employ- ment by the County last terminated shall receive a pension equal to her weekly workmen's compensation converted to an annual basis. A widow's pension shall begin upon termination of her workmen's com- pensation period, if she has not remarried, and shall terminate upon her remarriage or death. (c) Each unmarried child under age 18 years of the deceased member or retirant shall receive a pension equal to the child's weekly workmen's compensation converted to an annual basis. A child's pension shall begin upon termination of his workmen's compensation period and shall terminate upon his adoption, marriage, attainment of age 18 years, or death, whichever occurs first. Should the widow's pension terminate as provided in subsection (b) of this section, and should the deceased member's or retirant's child or children, eligible to a child's pension provided in this subsection, survive the widow, each such child's pension shall be increased by an equal share of the widow's pension. (d) The parent or parents of the deceased member or retirant shall each receive a pension equal to the parent's weekly workmen's compensation converted to an annual basis. The parent's pension shall begin upon termination of his workmen's compensation period and shall terminate upon his re- marriage or death. (e) in no case shall the sum of the annual benefits provided in paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of this section exceed the greater of (i) xxx $4,8000; and (ii) 2% of the deceased member's average final compensation multiplied by his credited service not to exceed xxx 37.5 years.

(a) For a monthly benefit becoming effective on or after January 1, 1969 and beginning with the May first which is at least 12 full months after the effective date of the benefit, the amount of the benefit shall be redetermined effective each May first and such redetermined amount shall be payable for the ensuing year. Subject to the maximum stated in the next sentence, such 225 Commissioners Minutes Continued.

In no event shall such redetermined amount (i) be less than the amount of the benefit otherwise payable nor (ii) be more than the amount of the benefit otherwise payable multiplied by the following fraction: the numerator shall be the average of the Consumer Price Index for the 12 calendar months in the calendar year Immediately preceding such May first (but in no event an amount less than the denominator below) and; the denominator shall be the average of the Consumer Price Index for the 12 calendar months in the calendar year immediately preceding the effective date of the benefit. "The amount of the benefit otherwise payable" means the monthly amount of benefit which would be payable disregarding these provisions redetermining benefit amounts after retirement. (b) As used herein "Consumer Price indexi' means the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, as determined by the United States Department of Labor and in effect January 1, 1968; provided, should such Consumer Price Index be restructured subsequent to 1968 in a manner materially changing its character, the Commission after receiving the advice of the Actuary shall change the application of the Consumer Price Index so that as far as is practicable the 1968 intent of the use of the Consumer Price Index shall be continued. (c) For a monthly benefit which became effective before January 1, 1969 beginning with the monthly benefit of payment, if any, for the month of January 1969, the amount of the monthly benefit shall be increased by 1% for each full year (excluding any fraction of a year) in the period from the effective date of the benefit to January 1, 1969, to a maximum increase of 10%. In addition, beginning May 1, 1969 the amount of the benefit shall be redetermined effective each May first and such redetermined amount shall be payable for the ensuing year. Subject to the maximum stated in the next sentence, such redetermined amount shall be the amount of the benefit otherwise payable multi- plied by the following percent: 100.0 percent, plus 1.5 percent for each full year (excluding any fraction of a year) in the period from May 1, 1969 to the current May first. In no event shall such redetermined amount (i) be less than the amount of the benefit otherwise payable nor (ii) be more than the amount of the benefit otherwise payable multiplied by the following raction: the numerator shall be the average of the Consumer Price Index for the 12 calendar months in the calendar year immediately preceding such May first (but in no event an amount less than the denominator below) and; the denominator shall be the average of the Consumer Price Index for the 12 calendar months in the calendar year 1967. "The amount of the benefit otherwise payable" means the monthly amount of benefit which would be payable disregarding these provisions redetermining benefit amounts on and after May I, 1969. (d) In no event shall the pension portion of annual benefits payable to a retirant, or payable to beneficiaries on behalf of a deceased member, exceed the greater of (i) xxx $4,800 and (ii) 2% of the former member's final average compensation multiplied by his years of credited service not to exceed xxx 37.5 years; except, for an age and service retirant the xxx $4,800 amount next above shall be $1,800.

August 19, 1971 226 WHEREAS the replacement of employees absent on various forms of leaves by the use of over- time costs approximates half again the expense of the recommended additional positions; and WHEREAS there is not sufficient staff to cover such vacancies by temporary internal changes in work assignments; and WHEREAS the use of on-call relief people has not proved dependable in providing adequately trained supervision for the children involved; and WHEREAS there are now 11 shift days per week when there are no supervisory level Children's Supervisors on duty, and supervisory personnel must be contacted at home during their off duty time to give instructions and handle problems; and WHEREAS the gross salary cost for providing these positions for the remainder of 1971 is now only $14,500.00 in comparison with the $24,757.00 required when Miscellaneous Resolution No. 5739 was originally prepared in June; and WHEREAS half of this cost will be returned to the County in receipts as these positions are matched 50-50 by the State of Michigan under the Foster Care Act. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that three Children's Supervisor III positions and two Children's Supervisor I positions, costing $14,500.00 for the remainder of 1971, be granted to the Children's Village.

Misc. 5790 By Mrs. Dearborn IN RE: OPPOSITION TO ALLOCATION OF DIFFERENTIAL MILLAGE BY TAX ALLOCATION BOARD To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS Public Act 162 of the Public Acts of 1933, which allows an additional millage to be authorized by the Tax Allocation Board for School Boards to order to be spread in incorporated areas, Is unjust and unreasonable legislation; 227 Commissioners Minutes Continued. August 19, 1971 WHEREAS the following letter has been received from the State Tax Commission regarding the appeal from the City of Birmingham from the final order of the County Tax Allocation Board of Oakland County: STATE OF MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY STATE TAX COMMISSION August 12, 1971 Mr. William B. Saunders, Mayor City of Birmingham, Oakland County 151 Martin Street Birmingham, Michigan 48012 Dear Sir: On June 8, 1971 communication was received by the State Tax Commission from the City of Birmingham appealing from the action of the Oakland County Tax Allocation Board specifically listing as a reason for the appeal, "The levy of additional taxes pursuant to Act 162 of 1933 is believed to be unlawful and unconstitutional. We understand that the Attorney General has so ruled and that Oakland County is the only County in the State which persists in this practice contrary to the Attorney General's advice." The State Tax Commission accepted the appeal for examination at a meeting on June 9, 1971 and the Commission requested the City of Birmingham and the County of Oakland to submit briefs. The Commission received a brief from the City of Birmingham on behalf of William B. Saunders and the City of Birmingham and also from the Oakland County Corporation Counsel. The briefs were submitted to the Assistant Attorney General of the State of Michigan, legal advisor to the State Tax Commission, and his report was submitted to the State Tax Commission at a meeting on August 9, 1971. The City of Birmingham and William B. Saunders, a taxpayer resident of the City of Birmingham, alleges that the order of the Oakland County Tax Allocation Board entered on May 27, 1971 violates the uniformity provisions of Article IX, Section 3, Michigan Constitution of 1963, by providing a variable millage within the Birmingham School District. The order allocates 8.3 mills to that portion of Birmingham District which lies outside the city limits (in Bloomfield Township, West Bloomfield Town- ship and Southfield Township) and allocates 9.53 mills for the portion of the School District located within the City of Birmingham. It is stressed by appellants that this allocation directs a levy of school taxes within the same district which is 1.4 mills higher upon taxable property inside city limits than outside city boundaries. It also is convincingly urged that taxpayers in all parts of the School District receive an identical equivalence of school services and that the differential millage cannot be justified by any concentration of such services made available to city residents to the exclusion of school taxpayers residing in the townships. The Tax Commission entertains no doubt concerning the merits of the allocation appeal. Bluntly speaking, the allocation of differential millage by the Oakland County Tax Allocation Board is clearly illegal, an error of law, a trespass upon constitutional principles of tax uniformity and equal treatment of taxpayers, since there is no differential in the services offered. Yet, the protection and enforcement of constitutional rights have been entrusted to the honor and integrity of the courts. This Commission, while endowed with broad powers under the General Property Tax Law, cannot entertain this allocation appeal, regardless of its obvious merit. Under the General Property Tax Law, the Tax Commission may take any measures which "will secure the enforcement of the provisions of this act, to the end that all the properties of this state liable to assessment for taxation shall be placed upon the assessment rolls and assessed at that proportion of true cash value which the legislature from time to time shall provide pursuant to the provisions of article 9, section 3 of the constitution." The instant appeal, however, is not governed by the General Property Tax Law, i.e., No. 206, PA 1893. It is authorized by Section 17 of the Property Tax Limitation Act, being No. 62, PA 1933, and may be taken only by "any aggrieved local unit." Section 2 of the Property Tax Limitation Act defines "local unit" and specifically excepts "villages and cities for which there are provisions in their charters or general law fixing maximum limits on the power to levy taxes against property." The City of Birmingham is governed by a charter which contains a provision for the levy of property taxes (made mandatory by state law) up to a specified maximwm limit. It consequently is not a "local unit" within the intendment of the Property Tax Limitation Act. In consequence, it has no authority to appeal the final order of the County Allocation Board. William E. Saunders, the individual taxpayer-appellant, suffers the same disability, or stated less elegantly, is in the same boat. Based on the foregoing, this Commission must deny acceptance of the appeal from the final order of the Oakland County Tax Allocation Board, although we realize that our denial to entertain the instant appeal, motivated not by choice but by legal compulsion, may lead to legal entanglement, taxpayers' protests and a multiplicity of lawsuits for the refund of school taxes paid by city residents. You are, therefore, hereby advised that the Commission, at the meeting on August 9, 1971, dismissed the appeal from the final order of the County Tax Allocation Board of Oakland County. cc: Oakland Co. Corp. Counsel Very truly yours, Oakland County Clerk Edward W. Kane, Secretary THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes the allocation of differential millage by the Oakland County Tax Allocation Board.

REPORT By Mr. Szabo IN RE: REPORT ON MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #5790-OPPOSITION TO ALLOCATION OF DIFFERENTIAL MILLAGE BY TAX ALLOCATION BOARD To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: Your Committee has received and considered Resolution #5790, which resolution is in opposition to allocation of differential millage by the Tax Allocation Board. In a legal opinion rendered by the Corporation Counsel, it was advised that there is no action the Committee or the Board of Commissioners can take since they have no authority over the Tax Allocation Board other than to suggest that they not allocate such millage in the future. The opinion further stated that the question is in the courts at the present time and that is where it will have to be settled. Therefore, your Committee reports on Miscellaneous Resolution #5790 that, inasmuch as the matter of differential millage is under litigation in the courts, no action be taken at this time. The Equalization Committee, by Albert F. Szabo, Chairman, moves receiving and filing of the foregoing report. EQUALIZATION COMMITTEE Albert F. Szabo, Chairman "Misc. 5790 By Mrs. Dearborn IN RE: OPPOSITION TO ALLOCATION OF DIFFERENTIAL MILLAGE BY TAX ALLOCATION BOARD To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS Public Act 162 of the Public Acts of 1933, which allows an additional millage to be authorized by the Tax Allocation Board for School Boards to order to be spread in incorporated areas, Is unjust and unreasonable legislation, WHEREAS the following letter has been received from the State Tax Commission regarding the appeal from the City of Birmingham from the final order of the County Tax Allocation Board of Oakland County: Commissioners Minutes Continued. September 16, 1971 245 STATE OF MICHIGAN-DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY-STATE TAX COMMISSION August 12, 1971 Mr. William B. Saunders Mayor, City of Birmingham, Oakland County 151 Martin Street Birmingham, Michigan 48012 Dear Sir: On June 8, 1971 communication was received by the State Tax Commission from the City of Birming- ham appealing from the action of the Oakland County Tax Allocation Board specifically listing as a reason for the appeal, "The levy of additional taxes pursuant to Act 162 of 1933 is believed to be unlawful and unconstitutional. We understand that the Attorney General has so ruled and that Oakland County is the only County in the State which persists in this practice contrary to the Attorney General's advice." The State Tax Commission accepted the appeal for examination at a meeting on June 9, 1971 and the Commission requested the City of Birmingham and the County of Oakland to submit briefs. The Commission received a brief from the City of Birmingham on behalf of William B. Saunders and the City of Birmingham and also from the Oakland County Corporation Counsel. The briefs were submitted to the Assistant Attorney General of the State of Michigan, legal advisor to the State Tax Commission, and his report was submitted to the State Tax Commission at a meeting on August 9, 1971. The City of Birmingham and William B. Saunders, a taxpayer resident of the City of Birmingham alleges that the order of the Oakland County Tax Allocation Board entered on May 27, 1971 violates the uniformity provisions of Article IX, Section 3, Michigan Constitution of 1963, by providing a variable millage within the Birmingham School District. The order allocates 8.3 mills to that portion of Birming- ham District which lies outside the city limits (in Bloomfield Township, West Bloomfield Township and Southfield Township) and allocates 9.53 mills for the portion of the School District located within the City of Birmingham. It is stressed by appellants that this allocation directs a levy of school taxes within the same district which is 1.4 mills higher upon taxable property inside city limits than outside city boundaries. It also is convincingly urged that taxpayers in all parts of the School District receive an identical equivalence of school services and that the differential millage cannot be justified by any concentration of such services made available to city residents to the exclusion of school taxpayers residing in the townships. The Tax Commission entertains no doubt concerning the merits of the allocation appeal. Bluntly speaking, the allocation of differential millage by the Oakland County Tax Allocation Board is clearly illegal, an error of law, a trespass upon constitutional principles of tax uniformity and equal treatment of taxpayers, since there is no differential in the services offered. Yet, the protection and enforcement of constitutional rights have been entrusted to the honor and integrity of the courts. This Commission, while endowed with broad powers under the General Property Tax Law, cannot entertain this allocation appeal, regardless of its obvious merit. Under the General Property Tax Law, the Tax Commission may take any measures which "will secure the enforcement of the provisions of this act, to the end that all the properties of this state liable to assessment for taxation shall be placed upon the assessment rolls and assessed at that proportion of true cash value which the Legislature from time to time shall provide pursuant to the provisions of article 9, section 3 of the Constitution." The instant appeal, however, is not governed by the General Property Tax Law, i.e. No.206,P.A.1893. It is authorized by Section 17 of the Property Tax Limitation Act, being No. 62, P. A. 1933, and may be taken only by "any aggrieved local unit." Section 2 of the Property Tax Limitation Act defines "local unit" and specifically excepts "villages and cities for which there are provisions in their charters or general law fixing maximum limits on the power to levy taxes against property." The City of Birmingham is governed by a charter which contains a provision for the levy of property taxes (made mandatory by state law) up to a specified maximum limit. It consequently is not a "local unit" within the intendment of the Property Tax Limitation Act. In consequence, it has no authority to appeal the final order of the County Allocation Board. William B. Saunders, the individual taxpayer- appellant, suffers the same disability, or stated less elegantly, is in the same boat. Based on the foregoing, this Commission must deny acceptance of the appeal from the final order of the Oakland County Tax Allocation Board, although we realize that our denial to entertain the instant appeal, motivated not by choice but by legal compulsion, may lead to legal entanglement, taxpayers protests and a multiplicity of lawsuits for the refund of school taxes paid by city residents.

The municipality shall pay to the county the entire cost of the facilities of the System. Commissioners Minutes Continued. October 21, 1971 269 The term "cost" as used herein shall be construed to include all items of cost of the type set forth in "Exhibit B" attached hereto and any other items of cost of a similar nature as may be set forth in any revision of "Exhibit B" agreed to by the parties hereto. No change in the jurisdiction over any territory in the municipality shall in any manner impair the obligations of this contract based on the full faith and credit of the municipality or the county. In the event all or any part of the territory of the municipality in the area to be served by the System is incorporated as a new city or is annexed to or becomes a part of the territory or another municipality, the municipality into which such territory is incorporated or to which such territory is annexed, shall assume the proper proportionate share of the contractual obligation and capacity in the System of the municipality from which such territory is taken, based upon a division determined by the board, which shall make such determination after taking into consideration all factors necessary to make the division equitable, and in addition shall, prior to such determination, receive a written recommendation as to the proper division from a committee composed of one representative designated by the governing body of the municipality from which the territory is taken, one designated by the governing body of the new municipality or the municipality annexing such territory, and one independent registered engineer appoint- ed by the board. Each municipality shall appoint its representative within fifteen (15) days after being notified to do so by the board and within a like time the board shall appoint the engineer third member. If any municipality shall fail to appoint its representative within the time above provided, then the board may proceed without said recommendation. If the committee shall not make its recommendation within forty-five (45) days after its appointment or within any extension thereof by the board, then the board may proceed without such recommendation. In the consideration of the matters herein provided, including the designation of the third member of the committee, any member of the board who is also an official of either affected municipality shall be disqualified to act or vote. 7. A schedule of payments to be made by the municipality based upon the estimated cost of the project and the dates of such payments is attached hereto as "Exhibit C" and by this reference made a part hereof. Immediately upon the issuance of any bonds by the county to finance the cost of the project, the board shall notify the municipality, by written communication addressed to its treasurer, of any revision in said "Exhibit C" and of the schedule of payments of the principal of and interest on the county bonds, and of the paying agent fees and financing charges with respect thereto, and the amount of such payments, fees and charges to be paid by said municipality. Said municipality hereby covenants and agrees, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the due date of any principal of or interest on any such bonds, to remit to the board sufficient funds to meet said payments in full and said fees and charges applicable thereto. The obligation herein expressed shall be applicable to all bonds issued by the county to construct and complete the project, as herein defined, whether issued at one time or more than one time. It is assumed that the principal of the bonds represents the cost of the project. If the municipality should pay the project cost, or any portion thereof, or funds shall be received by grant or otherwise to apply against the cost of the project, prior to the issuance of bonds, then the obligation of the municipality shall be adjusted accordingly. If the municipality shall fail to make any of such payments when due, the amount thereof shall be subject to a penalty in addition to interest of one-half of one per cent (1/2 of 17) 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, by surrendering to the county bonds issued in anticipation of payments to be made under this contract, of a like principal amount maturing in the same calendar year with all future due interest coupons attached thereto. 8. In the event that the municipality shall fail for any reason to pay to the board at the 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 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 or of any other funds, is by these presents specifically authorized by the municipality to withhold sufficient funds derived from such sales tax levy or other funds and returnable to the municipality in default, and to pay said sums so withheld to the board to apply on the obligation of the defaulting 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, the purpose of this provision being solely to voluntarily authorize the use of such funds to meet past due obligations of the municipality to which said moneys are owed. In addition 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 the 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 so long as this contract remains in effect and operation, without regard as to whether the project herein contemplated is actually completed or placed in operation. 9. 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 purchase such bonds on the open market and in such event the contract obligation of the municipality in respect to the project shall be reduced by the principal amount of bonds so purchased, said reduction 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 cancelled. In the alternative, the surplus funds may be used to improve, enlarge and extend the System on the approval by resolution of the legislative body of the municipality and of the board. 10. If the proceeds of the sale of the original bonds to be issued by the county for the project are for any reason insufficient to complete the project in accordance with the plans and specifications herefor, the board shall, if necessary, submit to the Board of Commissioners of Oakland County a reso- lution 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 the contract shall be applicable to such additional issue of bonds as well as the original 270 Commissioners Minutes Continued. October 21, 1971 issue, it being at all times fully recognized and agreed that the payments to be made by the munici- pality, in the manner specified in paragraph 7 of this contract, shall be based upon the cost of the project. 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. II. The municipality, pursuant to the authorization of paragraph (2), Section 12 of Act 185, Public Acts of 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 1971, 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 follow- ing 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. 12. This contract is contingent upon the county issuing its negotiable bonds as set forth in subdivision (b) of paragraph 4 of this contract, to defray the estimated cost 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. 13. The municipality consents to the establishment and location of said System as shown on "Exhibit A" and hereby transfers to the county the existing facilities located in the city for the purpose of constructing the project therein. Upon completion of said System the county does hereby lease the same to the municipality to operate and maintain the same upon the following terms and con- ditions: (a) The System shall be used only to serve the area in the District, which District may be hereafter enlarged by amendment to this Contract. (b) The municipality shall maintain said System in good condition. (c) The municipality will, at its own expense, provide insurance of such types and such amounts on the System as would ordinarily be carried by private companies engaged in a similar enter- prise, which insurance shall include sufficient liability insurance protecting the municipality and the county against loss on account of damage or injury to persons or property imposed by reason of the ownership or operation of the System or resulting from any act of omission or commission on the part of the municipality, its agents, officers, or employees, in connection with the operation, maintenance or repair of the System. (d) The municipality shall not permit the discharge into said System of any sewage in violation of the standards and regulations controlling the discharge of industrial and/or commercial type waste into the System as said standards and regulations may be promulgated from time to time by the village. (e) The municipality shall make and collect from the individual users of the System such charges for sewage disposal services as shall be sufficient at least to pay the charges to be made by the municipality for sewage disposal services, and the cost of operating and maintaining the System, and to establish a fund for replacements, improvements, and major maintenance of the System. In addi- tion, the municipality may make and collect such charges to individual users as shall be necessary to pay the operating and collection costs of the municipality and to provide such other funds for sewage disposal purposes as are deemed desirable. The municipality shall enforce prompt payment of all such charges as the same shall become due. (f) The municipality shall establish such charges as specified in paragraph (d) to be paid to the municipality quarterly or more often commencing with the first day of the calendar quarter in which the System is put into operation. The municipality hereby accepts the lease of the System upon the terms and conditions herein set forth. 14. The county and the municipality each 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, and secured by the full faith and credit pledge of the municipality to the making of its pay- ments 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 lateration 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 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 here- by 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. 15. 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 fifty (50) years from the date of this contract. This contract may be ex- ecuted 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.

RES. 5749 - AMENDING ACT 1/224, P.A. 1969 To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: Your Committee reports that it has received and considered Miscellaneous Resolution #5749 in reference to Section 118 of Act 224 with reference to amending said section providing for a waiting period of five days before allowing prospective new owners to select an animal at the County Animal Shelter or for disposing of an animal. It is the opinion of Civil Counsel that it would not be necessary to change the law, but make this an administrative matter. The dog could be tagged for future ownership before the five days were up but still be held the full time and this procedure would meet the provisions of the law as it stands. Your Committee further reports that it concurs on changing the stated administrative procedures and that Miscellaneous Resolution #5749 is herewith being reported back to this Board with no action taken by the Health Committee. The Health Committee, by Dale C. Burley, Chairman, moves the acceptance of the foregoing report. HEALTH COMMITTEE Dale C.

Misc. 5870 By Mr. Harrison IN RE: ANNUAL REPORT OF PLANNING AND BUILDING COMMITTEE To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: In accordance with Section 7 of Rule IV of the Bylaws, your Planning and Building Committee has made its annual inspection of county owned buildings and grounds. Your Committee is pleased to report that it found the county facilities satisfactorily maintained, cleaned and repaired. The conditions speak well of the program carried out by the employees and the staff of the Board of Auditors Facilities and Operations Divisions. During this past year there have been many accomplishments in the Facilities' Capital Improvement Program. Construction on the new Public Works Building was completed January 1971, providing facilities for the Drain Commission, Department of Public Works and the Board of Auditors' Facilities and Operations Department. Other projects completed this past year include the Sheriff's Trusty Camp, the Utility Tunnel for the new Mental Retardation Center and Phase III of the new Underground Electrical Distribution System. In October of 1971 the first feeder of this new 13,200 volt electrical system was energized. Construction has progressed well on the new Law-Enforcement - Jail Complex which is now scheduled for completion on the contract date of June 1972. Construction of the new Mental Retardation Center began in the Fall of 1970 and occupancy is expected in January 1972. Federal grants for this project now total $962,000. The Youth Activities Center, at Springfield-Oaks Park in Davisburg, went under construction in May 1971 and will be completed in December of this year. The Facilities and Operations Department has been providing services to your Airport Committee and has managed their Airport Construction Programs. A federal grant of $1,084,000 has heen received for the Oakland-Pontiac Airport for the acquisition of land and construction of the parc,tlel runway, extension of the terminal ramp and site clearance for the Instrument Landing System. Master Plans have also been completed for all utility systems and roads at that Airport. Revised Master Plans are being prepared for Oakland-Orion Airport. At the time of this Report final plans and specifications are being prepared for Phase II of Children's Village for which we have received a federal design grant of $88,000. This year your Board authorized the purchase of the former Pontiac Administration Building and presently has under consideration retaining an architect for the preparation of the necessary plans and specifications to convert the building for Social Services uses. While it would be impractical to note each of the major repair and alteration programs of this pastyear, your Committee would like to report that it has been necessary to carry out a continuous program of alterations to provide adequate functional space for the county departments to carry out their governmental services. Surplus space in the existing buildings is nonexistant. The largest of the major building repairs is presently being made to the exterior marble facade on the Courthouse Complex. 316 Commissioners Minutes Continued. November 18, 1971 In an effort to reduce major facility breakdowns and repairs, an improved Preventive Maintenance Program has been instituted which should hold down the frequency and cost of building repairs over the future years. The Service Center grounds have given a campus like environment for county government. Landscaping has been completed at the Public Works Building and the new South Parking Lot at the Court- house this year, and plans have been repared for the landscaping of the Law Enforcement-Jail Complex and the Mental Retardation Center. Planting of these facilities will begin in the Spring of 1972. Your Committee continues to see a large task ahead to provide governmental facilities for our growing county.

Misc. 5878 By Mr. Barakat IN RE: ACQUISITION OF LAND FOR NATURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS the headwaters of the River Rouge lie in a 166-acre hardwood forested natural area northwest of the intersection of northbound 1-75 access road and Adams Road in Bloomfield Township, generally called the Adams Woods; and WHEREAS public access to the headwater area can only be gained through public ownership of the surrounding natural area; and WHEREAS the entire 166-acres woodland, wet meadow and river gorge comprise an excellent site for an environmental study laboratory and an inservice teacher training facility; and WHEREAS an evaluation study of the site by Byron Ashbaugh, Chief of Outdoor Education Services, Genesee County Parks and Recreation Commission, indicates that the Adams Woods is ideally suited as an outdoor laboratory facility by virtue of its widely varying topography and natural features; and WHEREAS Genesee County owns, staffs and maintains a 367-acre natural area, For-Mar Nature Preserve and Arboretum, including a portion of Kearsley Creek, East of Flint, which is utilized largely by teachers and school classes of Genesee County on weekdays, and by the public on Saturdays and Sundays; and WHEREAS Bloomfield Township supervisor Homer Case in a signed statement dated January 12, 1971, advised favoring "A park in Section 1, North of 1-75, West of Adams Road in Bloomfield Township, such as For-Mar Nature Preserve in Genesee County"; and WHEREAS such environmental learning facilities for student visitation, teaching training and public enlightenment are essential in achieving a cross-cultural approach to environmental awareness; and WHEREAS no federal, state, metropolitan authority or county park land exists in the southeast quarter of Oakland County where the population density is greatest; and WHEREAS residents and taxpayers of southeast Oakland County paid $790,931.05 in the 1/4 mill 326 Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 2, 1971 levy for Parks and Recreation in 1970, and this figure represents 66.76% of the total paid in the entire County; and WHEREAS more than 5,000 Southeast Oakland County residents have signed petitions asking for preservation of The Adams Woods; and WHEREAS Oakland County's ten most urbanized cities, Southfield, Pontiac, Royal Oak, Troy, Oak Park, Birmingham, Madison Heights, Ferndale, Hazel Park and Berkley, are all in the Southeast quarter of the County; and WHEREAS taxpayers of the ten most urbanized cities paid $628,408.82 or 53.04% of the 1/4 mill levy for Parks and Recreation in 1970; and WHEREAS The Adams Woods is strategically located and accessible to the ten named cities by main travel arteries, 1-75, U. S. 24 and U. S. 10; and WHEREAS Parks and Recreation authorities recognize that nature preserves and environmental learning facilities cannot achieve a self-sustaining status on a fee system basis as can some purely recreational park facilities; and WHEREAS a policy of providing only parks that can be self-sustaining on a fee system basis is tantamount to a policy of denying Southeast Oakland County of any natural areas since no sites exist in that area large enough to support active, fee-producing recreation in addition to a natural area; and WHEREAS according to Kenneth L. VanNatta, Director of Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission, as stated in a letter of February 9, 1971, to Marjorie M. Walker, "This commission is responsive to the need and heartily in accord with the statements contained in your proposal," that proposal being a request that the commission acquire The Adams Woods and maintain it as an educational center and natural area. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners requests the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission to acquire, in the name of the County, approximately 166 acres of wooded area in Section 1, Bloomfield Township, located North of 1-75 and West of Adams Road, for the preservation of said area as a preserve, wild life area and to be used by the citizens of Oakland County for nature and environmental studies.

PRESENT: Aaron, Barakat, Brennan, Burley, Coy, Daly, Dearborn, Doyon, Gabler, Harrison, Horton, Houghten, Kasper, Lennon, Mainland, Mathews, Olson, Patnales, Pernick, Powell, Richards, Richardson, Simson, Szabo, Wilcox.

Moved by Mainland supported by Daly the agenda be amended in order that the Personnel Practices Committee and Finance Committee may present their reports. A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the motion carried. Mr. Mainland presented the Salaries Portion of the 1972 County Budget. IN RE: SALARIES PORTION OF 1972 BUDGET By Mr. Mainland To the Honorable Board of Commissioners The Personnel Practices Committee recommends that the following amounts be placed in the 1972 Budget to cover the cost of salaries: $15,934,808 in Departmental Budgets - For 1,590 positions which have been previously approved. (Including $144,000 for 60 Student Positions.) $ 1,630,453 in the Salaries Reserve Fund - For later distribution to departmental salaries budgets. This is made up of: $241,949 for 42 New Positions $ 30,700 for Emergency Salaries $400,000 for Overtime Reserve $200,000 for Summer Employment $ 17,000 for Training and Tuition Reimbursement $ 30,000 for Classification and rate changes for existing positions during the budget year. $155,000 reserve for second year salary adjustments under the two year labor contracts with the employees of the Sheriff and Animal Welfare departments. $555,804 for possible first-of-the-year salary adjustments. $17,565,261 TOTAL SALARIES BUDGET On the following pages are a summary sheet showing the distribution of the total salaries amount to the various departmental budgets, a list of the new positions requested and granted, a comparison with previous County Budgets and an explanation of the salaries budget items shown above. Respectfully submitted, PERSONNEL PRACTICES COMMITTEE William L. Mainland, Chairman Dennis M. Aaron, Mary M. Dearborn, Lew L. Coy Paul E. Kasper, Bernard F. Lennon, James Mathews EXPLANATION OF SALARIES BUDGET ITEMS Because the funds available for the salaries portion of the 1972 Budget fall far short of the amount required to meet requests, each category of salaries budget allotment has been closely studied and budgeted on an austerity basis. SALARY ADJUSTMENTS The budgeting for all positions, both old and new, has been done on the basis of 1971 salary rates. Because of the uncertainties of collective bargaining and Presidential wage controls, amounts for salary adjustments have been allotted at this time on a lump sum basis; $555,804 for possible salary adjustments and $155,000 for the second year salary adjustments called for under the two year labor contracts with the employees of the Sheriff and Animal Welfare Departments. The Committee recommends that the 1972 salary rates for employees not represented by bargaining units be set after the rates for represented employees have been settled. It is expected that these labor contracts will be brought to the Commission for approval shortly after the first of the year and recommended 1972 salary rates for non-bargaining unit employees and the appropriate transfers of funds, within the overall salaries budget amount will be brought to the Commission at the same time. The County has completed its annual salary survey, and these results, along with wage control guidelines and the County's financial picture, are being taken into consideration both in the County's labor negotiations and in the salaries recommendations for non-bargaining unit employees. 328 Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 16, 1971 NEW POSITIONS The County Departments requested 195 new positions costing $1,671,832. The Committee recommends 42 positions to staff the new Law Enforcement Complex as the only budgeted new positions recommended for 1972. Because this building will not open until the late spring of 1972, these positions have been budgeted only from May 1st through the remainder of the year. The positions involved would cost $241,949 and, as shown on page E of this report, are assigned to the Sheriff (35), the Medical Examiner (5) and the Health Department (2). The Jail staffing has been studied in great detail and the number of employees is a bare minimum needed to staff the institution on a twenty four hour-seven day per week basis. In addition to these new budgeted employees, the County has been allotted 59 positions under the Public Employment Program (formerly Emergency Employment Act). The number and classifications of the positions involved are also shown on Page E, although some classification are currently being modified within the overall funding as some positions have proved difficult to fill and some departmental needs have changed. With the present allotted positions, it is estimated that the County will receive up to $561,570 in federal funding under the program and the County participation in funding and in kind will not exceed $62,397. EMERGENCY SALARIES As shown in the chart on page F of this report, the $30,700 is the lowest amount recommended for this purpose since 1967 and the fourth lowest amount since 1958. The small amount is due in part to the availability of some positions to be paid from Public Employment Act funds and the slack that has been taken up in recent years by summer employees. Even with these resources, the amount recommended for Emergency Salaries is marginal. OVERTIME RESERVE The $400,000 recommendation compares with the $412,701 spent in 1970 and the $439,737 used in 1969. It appears that slightly over $400,000 will be spent in 1971. Approximately 631 of this reserve is spent for conventional overtime and 371 for legal holiday premium pay. SUMMER EMPLOYMENT This program has been carried out by the County for many years, providing jobs and earnings for students and allowing County departments to carry out special projects and cover the vacations of regular employees with inexpensive labor. In 1971, the County had $273,470 worth of such labor with $179,803 being charged to the salaries portion of the budget and $93,667 being charged to other sources. TRAINING AND TUITION REIMBURSEMENT The $17,000 recommended is a cut from the $20,000 budgeted for the past several years and is the amount likely to be spent in 1971. CLASSIFICATION AND RATE CHANGES FOR EXISTING POSITIONS DURING THE BUDGET YEAR The $30,000 for classification and rate changes for existing positions is a budgetary item recommended for the first time. With over 2,300 employees in over 530 different job classifications working in a dynamic organization where changes in goals and methods are constantly occurring, it is not possible to foresee and study all possible changes in classifications which might become desirable and necessary during the budget year. Most such changes involve the creation of a new classification title and slight rate adjustments to make meaningful internal comparisons within the County's salary plan. In the recent past, such changes have been brought to the Personnel Practices Committee then to the full Board of Commissioners by way of a resolution that is in turn sent to the Finance Committee and then back to the full Board for action. In many cases the amounts involved are less than the cost of the actions necessary. It is recommended that the $30,000 be placed in the Salaries Reserve Fund to be used only on the formal approval of the Personnel Practices Committee. 400,000 200,000 17,000 30,000 155,000 555,804 [TOTAL SALARIES RESER E FUND 1,n30,453 TOTAL FINANCED FROM OTHER SOURCES TOTAL PROJECTED SALARIES COST 17 565 261 TOTAL SALARIES BUDGET' 6,931,523 24.496.784 24,496,784 PAGE 0 Commissioners Minutes Continued.

PAGE E Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 16, 1971 333 Misc. 5879 By Mr. Brennan IN RE: FINAL ANNUAL BUDGET 1972 To the Honorable Board of Commissioners Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: As required by State Law, the Oakland County Board of Auditors on October 12, 1971, presented their 1972 budget recommendations to the Board of Commissioners, which referred the budget to the following committees for study and recommendation: Finance, Planning and Building, and Personnel Practices. Your Finance Committee, after careful review of the Auditors' recommendations and those of the Personnel Practices Committee; and after conducting hearings with County departments and other agencies requesting funds, now present their recommended budget for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 1972 and ending December 31, 1972 in the amount of $39,415,348. While the budget indicates only a $50,000 increase over the Auditors' original recommendations, our recommendations reflect extensive changes both as to revenue estimates and expenditure proposals. In part these recommendations have been a result of policy decisions made by this Commission; in part due to new information received subsequent to the Auditors' proposals, and lastly as a result of decisions arrived at by your Committee, which in our judgment result in a more equitable and efficient , distribution of available resources. SALARIES Included in our recommendations is the total sum of $17,565,261 to cover the Personnel portion of the budget as agreed on by your Committee with the Personnel Practices Committee. It is to be specifically noted however that the internal distribution as reported by that Committee is being transmitted with no recommendation on the part of your Finance Committee. Although this recommendation exceeds the Auditors' original recommendation by $74,416, it does represent a 17 reduction ($174,396) in the revised amount finally reported and recommended to your Committee by the Auditors. Included in the amount of $17,565,261 is the mandatory raises to the Circuit Judges. NON-DEPARTMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS Changes in the Auditors' recommended non-departmental appropriations have been made as follows: 1. In line with the policy decision of this Commission to raise current and Chapter 20-21 drains within the 15 mills, a line item appropriation of $407,000 for this purpose has been added to this section of the budget; 2. Your Committee, after review and with the concurrence of the Auditors, has transferred some $98,782 placed by the Auditors in the respective County departments for Capital Outlay to a line item for that purpose. It is felt that continuance of this long established practice will better ensure both control and review of these proposed expenditures; 3. Your Committee, in order to balance the budget, ditected a further 1%, cut in departmental operations totaling $78,000. Of this total reduction, $21,500 falls under non-departmental appropriations as follows: Ambulance - $1,000; Auditors Data Processing - $5‘1 00; Care of the Mentally Ill, Temporary Mental Cases - $5,000; Community Mental Health - $4,000; Insur ce and Surety Bonds - $5,000; Tax Allocation Board - $500; and T. B. Cases Outside - $1,000; 4. Building Authority payments were reduced $10,000 to meet the revised 1972 Capital Program commitments (see Capital Program below); 5. As a part of final budget adjustments, the Contingent Fund was raised $6,584 to $166,584. As noted by the Auditors, this appropriation must be considered together with the recommended new Sundry appropriation of $159,000 which formerly was included in the Contingent Fund; 6. ROAD COMMISSION - In the light of discussions with the Road Commission and review of expected increases in weight and gas tax revenue to that agency, your Committee has recommended no appropriation to the Road Commission for 1972. However, in view of the importance of the County Road Program and the vital need to insure availability of funds to match State and Federal funds available to Oakland County during 1972, your Committee strongly urges and recommends that in the event the expected increases in road revenues are unduly delayed or are not available within the current fiscal year, this Commission, at that time, consider and approve an advance on a loan basis to the Road Commission in the amount needed up to $700,000. The cooperation of the Road Commission in this matter is commended by your Committee; 7. The $1,400,000 Employees Retirement Fund appropriation, together with those contributions to be collected from outside Financed County Agencies whose employees are members of the County plan, are expected to meet the overall County contribution as estimated by the Actuary at $1,872,500. DEPARTMENTAL The only changes other than those reductions reflecting transfers to the Capital Outlay appropriation is that portion of the total 1%, operating reduction of $78,000 directed by your Committee, namely $56,500, as follows: Auditors Administration - $2,500; Auditors Central Services Administration - $300; Auditors Drug Abuse - $5,000; Auditors Planning - $10,500; Clerk/Register - $5,000; Commissioners - $2,000; Health Department - $6,200; Medical Examiner - $1,000; Probate Court - Juvenile Court - $1,500; Probate Court - Juvenile Maintenance - $5,000; Prosecutor - $5,000; Sheriff - $10,000; Sheriff Trusty Camp - $2,500. REVENUES In its consideration of Revenues, your Committee has made the following changes from the original estimates submitted by the Auditors; 1. The addition of a new receipt of $260,000 for estimated revenues under the new State Revenue Sharing Act; 2. A reduction in the light of past experience of $100,000 in the estimated revenue from the State Income Tax. CAPITAL PROGRAM This Committee, in order to provide the necessary funds for the 1972 Building Program, as finally approved by the "Special Building Program Review Committee" consisting of the Finance Committee, Planning and Building Committee and the Chairman of all other standing committees, has added $100,000 to the Auditors' original recommendations for this purpose. Total financing of $2,499,264 includes the 14,482,476 7,667,611 17,565,261 300,000- 17,265,261 33,415.348 13,353,500 756,411- 12,597,089 334 Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 16, 1971 following: Building Authority Payments - $1,233,000; Statutory Building Fund Appropriation - $5 09,853; and Miscellaneous Non-Tax Revenue - $756,411. The Building Authority Payments include the following: East Wing - $236,500; Law Enforcement Jail Complex - $676,500; and Children's Village Phase II (as modified) $320,000. The balance provides for the following: Balance for the remodeling of the Pontiac Office Building - $280,000; Miscellaneous Remodeling - $100,000; East Wing Alterations - $190,000; balance for the Health Center Addition - 5546,500; and the Oakland Pontiac Airport - $153,050. The 1972 Budget, as recommended, is extremely tight both as to revenue estimates and expenditure forecasts and any deterioration in the economic picture could have serious consequences both in terms of revenues and expenditures especially in the area of General Relief and related fields. It should be additionally noted that outside of those positions (42) connected with the new jail operations, all new employees granted for 1972 in order to keep services at even present levels, have been provided by Federal funds. At the end of the Federal Program, County funds for these additional positions will have to be provided if these services are to be continued. Your Finance Committee recognizes the possible burden of budget cuts imposed upon the needy of Oakland County and recommends continual review of the County and Social Services Department Budgets in relation to economic changes which may occur and should favorable conditions permit, the Finance Committee will consider reinstating all or part of the County Welfare Program, based on priorities recommended by the Human Resources Committee. In conclusion, your Finance Committee believes that the estimates herein are realistic; provide as equitable a distribution to the many services needing County support as is possible within the limits of the funds available; and, in the judgment of this Committee, present a properly balanced budget for the year 1972. Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move the adoption of the above report and approval of the 1972 budget as submitted. 1 further move that the matter of adoption of the budget be made a special order of business at the Commissioners meeting scheduled for DecembergO, 1971.

IN RE: AMENDMENT TO COUNTY BUDGET By Mrs. Dearborn To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: The need for road construction funds is a top priority item in Oakland County. The Transportation and Aviation Committee reviewed the 1972 construction program and the needs of the Oakland County Road Commission and voted unanimously to support the inclusion of a budget item of $700,000 for road construction. This sum will generate over $2,000,000 for roads during this next construction season. This construction program has already been reviewed and approved. The loss of these funds would be a disaster to our already inadequate road program in this county and necessitate deleting already approved construction for next summer. The Road Commission must know that these funds are available in order to proceed with their program. Since there is good reason to believe that Oakland County will not receive any additional gas and weight tax funds in time for the 1972 construction season, it is imperative that an appropriation for roads be included in the county budget for 1972. Therefore I move that the County budget, as presented today, be amended to include the appropriation for roads and that the Finance Committee be asked to reorder budget priorities so that the final budget adopted by this Board will include an appropriation for roads. Mary Mead Dearborn County Commissioner, District #4 The amendment was referred to the Finance Committee. There were no objections. Mr. Pernick nominated James M.
