RESOLUTION - VILLAGE OF LAKE ANGELUS
WHEREAS the Village Commission of the Village of Lake Angelus, a municipal corporation
located in Oakland County, Michigan, does hereby seek to alter its village boundary pursuant to the
authority ol SeLtion 6 of Act 3 of the Public Acts of 1895, as amended, MCLA 74.6, MSA 5.1470,
IT IS THEREFORE RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS .
1 The Village Commission hereby petitions the Board of County Commissioners of Oakland
County to alter the boundary of the Village of Lake Angelus by excluding from the boundary the following
dPscribed property:
Part of the NE 1/4 of Section 12, T 3 N. R 9 E, Waterford Township, Oakland County, Michigan,
described as beginning at point distant S 01 0 48' 00" E 292.08 ft. and S 790 07' 00" E 234.87
ft. and S 30° 21' 20" W 191.39 ft. and S OD° 42' 20" E 838.81 ft and N 88 0 29' 30" E 286.19
ft. from N 1/4 corner; thence N 01 ° 30 30" W 90.93 ft; thence S 47 0 16' 00" E 33.13 ft;
thence along curve to the left, radius 260 ft. distant 145.21 ft; thence S 88 ° 29' 30" W
150 ft. to point of beginning. Containing 0.13 acres more or less.
2. The reasons for this petition are as follows:
A. The above described propert ,, is part of a larger parcel of land in common ownership and
used in its entirety as a golf course, knotNn as the Silver Lake Golf Course.
B. All structures and the major area of the golf course are located in Waterford Township,
and subject to governmental regulation and control by the Township of Waterford, and it serves no
useful governmental purpose for the small portion of the golf course described above to be under the
separate jurisdiction of the Village of Lake Angelus.
C. It would best serve the interest of orderly governmental control of the property if it
were entirely under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Township of Waterford.
D. Tax revenues from the property to the Village of Lake Angelus are currently less than
One Dollar per year, and the inclusion of the property within the Village under present circumstances
is an inconvenience to both the taxpayers and the taxing authorities.
3. The Village President and Village Clerk are authorized and directed to present a
petition pursuant to this resolution to the Board of County Commissioners of Oakland County and to
give notice thereof as required by statute and to take such other and further action as may be
necessary and appropriate to accomplish the boundary change directed by this resolution.

RESOLUTION - VILLAGE OF LAKE ANGELUS
WHEREAS the Village Commission of the Village of Lake Angelus, a municipal corporation
located in Oakland County, Michigan, does hereby seek to alter its village boundary pursuant to the
authority of Section 6 of Act 3 of the Public Acts of 1895, as amended, MCLA 74.6, MSA 5.1470,
IT IS THEREFORE RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS.
1. The Village Commission hereby petitions the Board of County Commissioners of Oak and
County to alter the boundary of the Village of Lake Angelus by excluding from the boundary the
following described property:
Part of the North 1/2 of Section 12, Town 3 North, Range 9 East, Waterford Township, Oakland
County, Michigan, described as beginning at the Northeast corner of Lot 1 of Lake Angelus
Golfview Estates; thence S 88° 29' 30" W along N lire of said Lot I a distance of 306.19

the point of beginning. Containing 0.672 acres more or less.
2. The reasons for this petition are as follows:
A. The above described property is part of a larger parcel of undeveloped land in common
ownership and which was formerly owned and used as public property by the Township of Waterford and
which was sold by the Township to its present private owners.
B. The present private owners desire to make the described property together with the
contiguous property lying outside of the Village boundary available for residential development.
C. The orderly development of the aforesaid property requires that it be subject to the
regulatory control of a single unit of government, and it would serve no useful purpose for a part of
37 Lommissioners Minutes Continued. Februar./ 15, 1973
the property to be regulated by the Township of Waterford and a part by the Village of Lake Angelus.
B. The greater part ot the property is located outside of the Village boundary and the
major part of any construction on the property would be outsice of the Village boundary, and it would
best serN,e the inl.eret of orderl ,/ governnent control of the property if it were entirely under the
regulatory iur:sdiction of the Township of Waterford.
3. The Village President and Village Clerk are authorized and directed to present a petition
pursuant to this resolution to the Board of County Commissioners of Oakland County and to give notice
thereof as required by statute and to take such other and further action as may be necessary and

or all delinquent taxes which are due and payable to any school district, intermediate school district,
community college district, city, township, special assessment or drain district or other political
unit or county agency for which delinquent tax payments are due on settlement day with the county,
city or township treasurer; and
WHEREAS the Municipality wishes to receive its 1972 Delinquent Taxes (which became
delinquent on March 1, 1973) immediately without awaiting the collection thereof by the County; and
WHEREAS the County and the Municipality both recognize that 100% of the Municipality's 1972
Delinquent Taxes may not ultimately be received by the County; and
WHEREAS it is impossible for the County and the Municipality to presently estimate the
amount which the County will not be able to collect from the Municipality's 1972 Delinquent Taxes.
NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the County's agreement to immediately pay to the Munici-
pality an amount equal to all of the Municipality's 1972 Delinquent Taxes it is agreed as follows:
1. The Municipality hereby authorizes the County to withhold from future years' delinquent
taxes to be collected for the Municipality an amount equal to the Municipality's 1972 Delinquent
Taxes which the County has determined are not collectable either because of a reduction in assess-
ment by the State Tax Commission or for anyother reason, together with interest on such amount from
March 1, 1973 at the rate of 1/2% per month until such withholding occurs. The withholding shall
occur on the March 1st following the date of such determination by the County.
2. The Municipality agrees that in the event the County in the future pays to the Munici-
pality the amount of any other delinquent taxes of the Municipality for any other years the County
shall also be entitled to withhold from future years' delinquent taxes to be collected for the
Municipality an amount equal to the Municipality's delinquent taxes for the year for which the County
made pre-payment which the County has determined are not collectable either because of a reduction
in assessment by the State Tax Commission or for any other reason together with interest on such
amount from the March 1st on which the delinquent tax prepaid became delinquent at the rate of 1/2%
per month until such withholding occurs. The withholding shall occur on the March 1st following the
date of such determination by the County.
3. Whenever the County makes a determination that some of the aforesaid delinquent taxes
are uncollectable, it shall forward a copy of such determination to the Municipality.
4. Pursuant to Act 206 o the Public Acts of 1893, as amended, the County shall be
entitled to all interest collection charges and penalities due on and after the March 1st delinquency
date for the Municipality's Delinquent Taxes in any year (including the 1972 Delinquent Taxes) for
which year the County has prepaid or does prepay such taxes to the Municipality pursuant to said Act
and this Agreement.
5. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until cancelled by mutual agree-
ment of both parties.

of approximately thirty (30) years, which bonds will be secured primarily by the payments hereinafter
provided to be made by the Municipality, to the making of which its full faith and credit is hereby

impair the obligations of this contract based upon the full faith and credit of the Municipality. In
event all or any part of the territory of the Municipality which is in the area served by the System is
incorporated as a new city or is annexed to or consolidated with or becomes a part of the territory of
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
right to capacity in the System of the Municipality, from which such territory is taken, based upon a
division in the same ratio as the population equivalent for water supply capacity of the property in
the territory so annexed or incorporated bears to the population equivalent of the property for water
supply capacity in the remaining portion of the Municipality from which said territory is taken.

said payments in full. 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 shalt 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 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. 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 tine 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 Board of Commissioners 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 and returnable to such Municipality pursuant to law, is
by these presents specifically authorized by the Municipality to withhold sufficient moneys, derived
from such funds returnable to the Municipality and not specifically otherwise earmarked, 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 any state law, the purpose
of this provision being solely to authorize voluntarily 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 Munici-
pality 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, 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.
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 Board of Commissioners to improve, enlarge,
or extend the System in the Municipality.
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 therefor, the Board shall, if necessary, submit to the Board of Commissioners of Oakland
County a resolution providing for the issuance of additional bonds in an amount necessary to provide
funds to complete the project in which event the duties and obligations of the Board and the Municipality
as expressed and set forth in this Contract shall be applicable to such additional issue of bonds as
well as the original issue, it being at all times fully recognized and agreed that the payments to be
made by the Municipality, in the manner specified in paragraph 7 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.
11. 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 first year in which any of such obligations are due, levy a tax in an amount which, taking into
consideration estimated delinquencies in tax collections, will be sufficient to pay its obligations
under this Contract becoming due before the time of the following year's tax collections; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that if at the time of making such annual tax levy there shall be other funds on hand earmarked
and set aside for the payment of such contractual obligations falling due prior to the next tax
collection period, then the annual tax levy may be reduced by such amount. Such other funds may be
raised in the manner provided in said paragraph (2), Section 12 of Act 185, Public Acts of Michigan,

of good condition and repair, then the Board of Public Works shall notify the Municipality in writing
as to any deficiency. If the Municipality shall fail to restore the facilities to a good condition
and repair within a reasonable time thereafter then the Board of Public Works shall have the right to
perform the necessary work and furnish the necessary materials, and reimbursement for any expense
incurred by the County shall be made by the Municipality to the County within thirty (30) days after
the expense has been incurred.
(c) The Municipality shall adopt and continue in existence and shall enforce an ordinance
or ordinances concerning the connection of premises in the Municipality to the System and concerning
the use of and the payment of charges for the use of the System.
(d) The Municipality shall make and collect from the individual users of the System such
charges for water supply service as shall be sufficient to pay the cost of the operation and maintenance
of the System, to establish suitable reserves for operating and maintaining the System. Such charges
may also include an amount determined by the Municipality to be used to meet the obligations of the
Municipality to the County under this Contract. The Municipality shall enforce prompt payment of all
such charges as the same shall become due.
(e) The Municipality shall secure and maintain adequate property damage and public liability
insurance covering the System hereby leased to it by the County. All policies of insurance shall
provide that the Municipality and the County shall be insured parties thereunder and shall contain a
provision requiring that the Director of the Oakland County Department of Public Works be notified at
least ten days prior to cancellation thereof. One copy of each policy of insurance shall be filed with
the Oakland County Department of Public Works.
The Municipality agrees to lease the System from the County upon the foregoing terms and
conditions and for the period of this Contract and agrees to pay the sum of $1.00 per year on January
1st of each year commencing January 1, 1974, and in addition to perform its covenants and agreements
set forth in this Contract as a rental for said System.
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
payments as set forth in this Contract, will have contractual rights in this Contract and it is there-
fore covenanted and agreed by each of them that so long as any of said bonds shall remain outstanding
and unpaid, the provisions of this Contract shall not be subject to any alteration or revision which
would in any manner affect either the security of the bonds or the prompt payment of principal or
interest thereon. The 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 hereby declared that the terms of this Contract insofar as they pertain to the security
of any such bonds, shall be deemed to be for the benefit of the holders of said bonds.
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, or on such earlier date

successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

Oakland County Sheriff's Department, for the purposes of collective bargaining with respect to rates of
pay, wages, hours of employment and other terms and conditions of employment, in the following bargain-
ing unit for which they have been certified, and in which the Union is recognized as collective

Acts of 1947, as amended.
All employees of the Oakland County Sheriff's Department, excluding the sheriff, under-

II. MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY

efficiency of employees, is the sole responsibility of the Employer except that Union Members shall not

operation are solely and exclusively the responsibility of the Employer, subject, however, to the
provisions of this agreement.
III. DUES CHECK-OFF
(a) The Employer agrees to deduct the union membership initiation fee and dues, once each
month, from the pay of those Employees who individually authorize in writing that such deductions be
made. All authorizations delivered to the Employer prior to the first day of the month shall become

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,

when permitted to leave their work to handle grievances.

V. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
The Employer and the Union support and subscribe to an orderly method of adjusting
employee grievances. To this end, the Employer and the Union agree that an employee should first
bring his problem or grievance to the attention of his immediate supervisor, with or without his
steward, who shall attempt to resolve the grievance informally. Dismissals, suspensions, demotions
and disciplinary actions of any type shall not be a subject for the grievance procedure but shall be
processed according to the procedures of the Personnel Appeal Board,

steward and shall be reduced to writing, signed by the grievant and submitted to his immediate supervisor.

immediate supervisor, and the Chief Steward it so desired. The supervisor will attempt to adjust the
matter and will give his written decision within five (5) days (excluding Saturday, Sunday and holidays)
of receipt of the written grievance.
Step 3. Any grievance not settled at Step 2 may be submitted to the next meeting of the
grievance committee. Any grievance not submitted to the next grievance committee meeting, by written
notification to the Employer within five (5) days of the immediate supervisor's written decision, shall
be considered dropped.
Any matter not settled in Step 3 of the grievance procedure may be submitted to
final and binding arbitration 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.
lf the parties fail to select an arbitrator, one will be selected under the rules
of the American Arbitration Association.

procedure, to the next step as prescribed, shall be considered dropped and the last decision final and
binding, except that time limits may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties.

in the work force, the employees will be laid off in seniority order, based on capability of performing

Department, the president or chief steward shall be notified of said transfer by the employer.
IX. PROMOTIONS

Union to do work which takes them from their employment with the County, shall at the written request
of the Union be granted a leave of absence without pay. The leave of absence shall not exceed two (2)
years, but it shall be renewed or extended for a similar period at any time upon the written request
of the Union.

Misc. 6275
By Mr. Houghten
IN RE: ALLOCATION BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 1974
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, 1974 to December 31, 1974.
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 1974 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 15 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 1974 Allocation Budget of 53.56 million represents an overall increase of 9 million
dollars over the 1973 Final Budget and, based on an assumption of a 10% rise in the State Equalized
Valuation of the County, would require an allotted rate of 6.56 Mills. At this juncture it should be
noted that Oakland County under its present allocated rate of 5.26 Mills ranks 66th among the 83
Michigan Counties; conversely only 6 counties allocate a higher school rate to their schools than in
Oakland.
PERSONNEL: (Increase 2.82 million) 1.91 million of this increase is accounted for in the
anticipated cost of old positions which includes, in addition to expected 1974 merit and service in-
creases, the 16 new positions and salary adjustments granted in 1973 and full funding of the 61 former
PEP positions previously paid from Federal funds.
Other major increases in the salaries portion of the budget includ $847,074 for 93 receommended
new positions (reduced from 201 positions requested by County Departments), 1.18 million to meet
anticipated 1974 salary adjustments (5.5'0 and $320,103 cost for 19 positions,salary adjustments
presently being processed at the time of this writing.
NON-DEPARTMENTAL: (Increase 4.46 million) The projected increase in Non-Departmental
recommendations is largely accounted for in the following:
I. Four new appropriations reflecting the continuing concern of the County in these areas
have been recommended: $50,000 Art Council Funding; 550,000 for the continuance of Management Reviews
of County Departments; $1,000,000 for County support of the County Road Program and $100,000 to provide
basic capitalization for the Local Assessing Assistance Program.
2. Employee costs including Workmen's Compensation, Employee's Hospitalization Insurance,
Employee's Life Insurance, Employee's Retirement Fund and Social Security account for 1.7 million dollars
of the above increase. The largest portion of this amount (one million for Employee's Retirement Fund)
is due to two factors, the 1973 improvements granted in the Retirement benefit formula and a larger
than usual commitment of reimbursement reserves in financing the overall 1973 Retirement costs for this
program. Based on total Retirement costs of 2.98 million dollars, the overall increase in this program
would be $417,000.

Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 10, 1973
3. Care of the Mentally ill, increased $442,000; $217,000 to support Community Mental Health
State Budget and $225,000 for increase in use of State Institutions.
4. The mandatory 1/4 Mill for Huron-Clinton paid from the County share of 15 Mill Property
Tax will, based on the expected SEV increase, raise this appropriation $134,675.
5. The upward revision of $562,305 in Social Services costs is projected on a three (3)
year average increase in costs and caseloads and includes consideration of continued savings through
the immediate implementation policies under ADC and other related State/Federal categorical programs.
DEPARTMENTAL: (Increase, including Personnel costs, 4.5 million) For explanations on changes
in respective departmental budgets your attention is directed to those specific explanations therein
set out.
RECEIPTS: (Decrease 1.93 million) 1.32 million dollars of the projected decrease in receipts
is accounted for by the fact that seven (7) quarters of Federal Revenue Sharing monies were available
in the financing of the 1973 budget while only four (4) quarters will be available in 1974.
The other major decreases include $500,000 in the Treasurer's Receipts based on the fact that
in 1974 delinquent tax penalties, previously reflected here, will go to the Tax Revolving Fund; in
addition Use of Money and Property has been reduced $250,000, reflecting a more conservative estimate
on investment of County funds.
REVENUE SHARING: As stated above 3.4 million dollars of the new Federal Revenue Sharing funds
were available to the County in 1973 and 2.08 million dollars are anticipated for 1974. In line with
1973 budget policy, we are recommending allocation of $600,000 to County operations, namely, Current
Chapter 20-21 Drains $200,000; County Adult Hospitalization Care Fund $200,000 and State Institutions
$200,000. The anticipated balance of 1.48 million is allocated to the County Building Program.
CAPITAL PROGRAM: For this allocation budget, in line with policy followed in the 1973 budget,
we have again reduced the normal allocation of Miscellaneous Non-Tax Revenues to the Building Fund by
$320,000 thus releasing these revenues for use in the general operating program of the County. The
above reduction reflects the decision of the Commission to construct the Children's Village Phase II
with Revenue Sharing monies rather than through a Building Authority as previously planned.
CONCLUSION: In the judgment of your Finance Committee, these recommendations, including the
joint recommendations of the Personnel Practices Committee and the Auditors, represent insofar as
present information is available, the amounts necessary to finance County operations for 1974 on a
level necessary to carry out the essential responsibilities of the County of Oakland.

EMERGENCY SALARIES
"Emergency Salaries" amounts are granted to certain departments to cope with fluctuating case-
loads, to cover vacation and sick leave absence 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. $603,140 was spent for
this purpose in 1972. Also charged to this fund is the cost of Premium Pay for Legal Holidays worked
and pay for off-duty Court Appearance by Law Enforcement employees.
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 allows the
Personnel Practices Committee to oversee summer employment distribution.
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, 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.
CLASSIFICATION AND RATE CHANGES DURING BUDGET YEAR
Because the County is a very complex institution which is constantly changing its scope, the
duties of many positions change during each budget year. With over 2,700 positions, it is not possible
to study and report all such changes in time to be reflected in the County's annual Budget, many changes
in classification and some rate adjustments must be made during the Budget year. The creation of new
classifications and new salary rates can only be done by the Board of Commissioners and these funds can
be used only with the approval of the Board.
POSSIBLE SALARY ADJUSTMENTS
At this time, there are many unknowns affecting the 1974 salaries of County employees. Labor
Contracts will be negotiated, comparable competitive salary structures will be analyzed, the auto
industry bargaining will have taken place, the policies of the Federal Government and the condition of
the Nation's economy will all have a considerable effect on the salaries picture. The $1,180,129
recommended for this purpose at this time is 5.5% of the cost of old and new positions, the Overtime
Reserve and the cost of new positions and salary adjustments in process.
FRINGE BENEFIT IMPROVEMENTS
In arriving at two year labor contracts for a number of the County's Bargaining Units, the
County agreed to provide one of the following employee fringe benefits for 1974.
Either: Improved Hospitalization Insurance
Improved Life Insurance
An Income Continuation Insurance Beyond Sick Leave
The cost was to be equivalent to the additional cost of upgrading the County's Hospitalization
Insurance to the Blue Cross MVF-2 Contract and the choice of benefits was to be the County's. The
$250,000 budgeted for this item is an estimated increase in cost of MVE-2 considering a Hospitalization
Insurance rate increase and an increased number of employees.

1. RECOGNITION
The Employer recognizes the Union as the exclusive representative of the following
employees, for the purposes of collective bargaining with respect to rates of pay, wages, hours of
employment and other terms and conditions of employment, and in the following bargaining units for
which they have been certified; and in which the Union is recognized as collective bargaining represent-
ative, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Act 336 of the Public Acts of 1947, as
amended:
All security officers and security watchman of the security unit of the Facilities and
Operations Division of the Board of Auditors excluding office employees which includes clerical,
secretarial and confidential employees and supervisors.
11. MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY
The right to hire, promote, discharge or discipline for just cause, and to maintain
discipline and efficiency of employees, is the sole responsibility of the Employer except that
Union members shall not be discriminated against as such. In addition, the work schedules, methods
and means of departmental operations are solely and exclusively the responsibility of the Employer,
subject, however, to the provisions of this agreement.
III. DUES CHECK-OFF
(a) The Employer agrees to deduct the union membership initiation fee and dues, once
each month, from the pay of those employees who individually authorize in writing that such deductions
be made. All authorizations delivered to the Employer prior to the first day of the month shall be-
come effective during that succeeding month. Check-off monies will be deducted from the second pay-
check of each month and shall be remitted together with an itemized statement to the local treasurer,
within fourteen (14) days after the deductions have been made.
(b) An employee shall cease to be subject to check-off deductions beginning with the
month immediately following the month in which he is no longer a member of the bargaining unit.
Any employee may voluntarily cancel or revoke the Authorization for Check-off deduction upon written
notice to the Employer and the Union during the fifteen (15) day period prior to the expiration
date of the agreement.
(c) The Union will protect and save harmless the Employer from any and all claims,

Section 3 There shall be a union bargaining committee composed of not more than
three (3) members, of which only two (2) on duty members of a shift shall be released at one time
from their jobs to attend a bargaining meeting.
Section 4 There shall be stewards and alternate stewards in accordance with the following

alternate steward.
(b) The security watchmen employees shall be represented by one(1) steward and one (1)
alternate steward.

pective supervisors and recording their time, for the purposes of adjusting grievances in accordance
with the grievance procedure and for reporting to the grievant a change in status of his grievance.
Permission for stewards to leave their work stations will not be unreasonably withheld. Stewards
will report their time to their supervisor upon returning from a grievance discuss ion.
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.
Section 5 The Chapter Chairman shall serve as Chief Steward for employees covered by
this agreement.
Section 6 There shalt be a grievance committee consisting of the Chapter Chairman and
one other member to be selected by the Union and certified in writing to the Employer. The Employer
shall meet whenever necessary, at a mutually convenient time, with the Union grievance committee.
V. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
Section 1 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, 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 between the employee and his
immediate supervisor, the employee shall have the right to discuss the grievance with his steward.
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. The written
formula: formula:
Commissioners Minutes Coninued. April 10, 1973 97
grievance must be signed by the employee and his steward and receipt acknowledged by the employee's
immediate supervisor.
Step 2 The department will give its written reply within five days (excluding Saturday,
Sunday and holidays) of receipt of the written grievance.
Step 3 A grievance not settled at Step 2 may be submitted to the Grievance Committee
within five days of the date of the receipt of the written reply. 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 sahll 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
saud 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 sescribed 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 six (6) 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 seniority order 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.
IX. FALSE ARREST INSURANCE
Security Officers covered by this agreement shall be provided, by the Employer, a policy
of False Arrest liability insurance. The premiums for such insurance will be paid by the County.
X. RATES FOR NEW JOBS
When any position not listed on the wage schedule is filled or extablished, 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.
• XI. GENERAL CONDITIONS

Union to do work which takes them from their employment with the County, shall at the written request

IN RE: RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE HAZEL DARK CITY COUNCIL - DETROIT EDISON INCREASE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Moved by Councilman Tribula, seconded by Councilman Osborne, that the following resolution be
adopted:
WHEREAS the Hazel Parr( City Council is advised that the Detroit Edison Company has requested
approval of the Michigan Public Services Commission for another rate increase for domestic use,
municipal street lighting, traffic signal lighting, and so forth; and
WHEREAS the requested rate increase calls for approximately fourteen percent increase over
present rates for municipal lighting; and
WHEREAS this proposed rate increase follows an increase just granted the Detroit Edison
Company by the Michigan Public Services Commission in August, 1972, which raised municipal street
lighting and traffic signal lighting costs to this City by approximately twenty-six percent between
September, 1971, and September, 1972; and
WHEREAS if the proposed rate increase were approved by the Michigan Public Services
Commission effective September, 1973, the percentage of cost increase in municipal street lighting and
traffic signal lighting costs to the City over the two year period would be approximately forty-four
percent: and
WHEREAS it is the position of the Hazel Dark City Council that the current rate increase
request by Detroit Edison is unreasonable and must be opposed by the City,
121
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 3, 1973
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City administration is hereby authorized and directed
to take all necessary steps to oppose the proposed Detroit Edison rate increase, including the expendi-

cooperative effort to oppose said increase by municipalities affected by the same.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that written copies of this resolution be sent to neighboring
communities and also to our legislators urging their opposition to this unjustified rate increase
request.

Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County is the only county in the Southeastern Michigan county region which
has not created a library board pursuant to the provisions of Act 138 of the Public Acts of 1917,

AGREEMENT
This agreement is made and entered into on this day of , A.D., 1973,
by and between the Oakland County Drain Commission and the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, herein-
after referred to collectively as the "Employer", and Metropolitan Council No. 23, of the American
Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFL-C10, hereinafter referred to as the "Union".
It is the desire of both parties to this agreement to continue to work harmoniously and to
promote and maintain high standards, between the employer and employees, which will best serve the
citizens of Oakland County, and that all terms of this agreement shall be tempered with the fact and
knowledge that both parties are human beings with the rights of human beings under law and morality.
I. RECOGNITION
The Employer recognizes the Union as the exclusive representative of the following
employees, for the purposes of collective bargaining with respect to rates of pay, wages, hours of
employment and other terms and conditions of employment, and in the following bargaining units for
which they have been certified; and in which the Union is recognized as collective bargaining represent-
ative, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Act 336 of the Public Acts of 1947, as
amended:
All Maintenance Laborers and Maintenance
Mechanics I and ll employed by the
Oakland County Drain Commission, but
EXCLUDING supervisors and all other employees.
II. MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY
The right to hire, promote, discharge or discipline for just cause, and to maintain
discipline and efficiency of employees, is the sole responsibility of the Employer except that Union
members shall not be discriminated against as such. In addition, the work schedules, methods and means
of departmental operations are solely and exclusively the responsibility of the Employer, subject,
however, to the provisions of this agreement.
III. DUES CHECK-OFF
(a) The Employer agrees to deduct the union membership initiation fee and dues, once
each month, from the pay of those employees who individually authorize in writing that such deductions
be made. All authorizations delivered to the Employer prior to the first day of the month shall become
123
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 3, 1973
effective during that succeeding month. Check-off monies will be deducted from the second paycheck of
each month and shall be remitted together with an itemized statement to the local treasurer, within
fourteen (14) days after the deductions have been made.
(b) An employee shall cease to be subject to check-off deductions beginning with the
month immediately following the month in which he is no longer a member of the bargaining unit. Any
employee may voluntarily cancel or revoke the Authorization for Check-off deduction upon written notice
to the Employer and the Union during the fifteen (15) day period prior to the expiration date of the
agreement.
(c) The Union will protect and save harmless the Employer from any and all claims,
demands, suits and other forms of liability by reason of action taken by the Employer for the purpose
of complying with this section.
IV. REPRESENTATION
Section 1 The members of all Union committees recognized by the Employer for purposes
of collective bargaining shall have to be seniority employees in the bargaining unit.
Section 2 The names of all such committee members shall be submitted in writing to the
Employer by the Union upon election or appointment to a recognized committee.
Section 3 The Employer agrees to recognize a bargaining committee which shall be
composed of not more than two (2) employees in the unit, based on the present composition of the bargain-
ing unit.
Section 4 There shall be a steward and an alternate steward who shall also act as Chief
Steward and Alternate Chief Steward, respectively, representing all employees covered by this agreement.
Stewards will be permitted to leave their work, after obtaining approval of
their respective supervisors and recording their time, for the purpose of adjusting grievances in
accordance with the grievance procedure and for reporting to the grievant a change in status of his
grievance. Permission for stewards to leave their work stations will not be unreasonably withheld.
Stewards will report their time to their supervisor upon returning from a grievance discussion.
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.
Section 5 There shall be a permanent grievance committee consisting of two employee
representatives selected by the Union and certified in writing to the Employer. The Employer shall
meet whenever necessary, at a mutually convenient time, with the Union grievance committee.
V. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
Section 1 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, and an attempt will be made to resolve the grievance informally. In the event the steward is
called he shall be released from his duties as soon as possible and in any event no later than the
beginning of his shift the next day and the supervisor, the employee and the steward shall meet
simultaneously in an attempt to resolve the matter. Dismissals, suspensions, demotions and disciplinary
actions of any type shall not be a subject for the grievance procedure but shall be processed accord-
ing to the procedures of the Personnel Appeal Board.
Step 1 If the grievance is not settled informally between the employee and his immediate
supervisor, the employee shall have the right to discuss the grievance with his steward. If, in the
steward's opinion, proper cause for the complaint exists, the Union shall have the right to submit a
written grievance on the complaint to the immediate supervisor within five days. The written grievance
must be signed by the employee and his steward and receipt acknowledged by the employee's immediate
supervisor.
Step 2 The department will give its written reply within five days (excluding Saturday,
Sunday and holidays) of receipt of the written grievance.
Step 3 A grievance not settled at Step 2 may be submitted to the Grievance Committee
within five days of the date of the receipt of the written reply. 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.
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 herein 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 five (5) 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 five (5) days after the Union or the aggrieved
becomes aware of the cuase 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
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 3, 1973 124
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 seniority order within the bargaining unit, 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 determing 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 one full shift, the base salary rate will be paid to the employee in the temporary assignment
for the time actually worked in the higher classification but the increased earnings will not count
toward the basis on which service increment pay is determined.
XI. GENERAL CONDITIONS
Section 1 Employees elected to any permanent full time Union office or selected by the
Union to do work which takes them from their employment with the County, shall at the written request
of the Union be granted a leave of absence without pay. The leave of absence shall not exceed two
(2) years, but it shall be renewed or extended for a similar period at any time upon the written request
of the Union.
Section 2 The Employer shall assign a locked bulletin board which shall be used by the
Union for posting notices, bearing the written approval of the President of the Union Local, which shall
be restricted to:
(a) Notices of Union recreational and social affairs;
(b) Notices of Union elections;

IN RE: RESOLUTION - OF THE BOARD OF THE TOWNSHIP OF MILFORD, MICHIGAN, URGING THE REVISION OF THE TAX
EFFORT FORMULA OF THE REVENUE SHARING ACT, 1971
WHEREAS the State Revenue Sharing Act of 1971 changed the formula whereby all State shared
revenue to local units of government is no longer distributed on a population basis but on a so-called
tax effort basis,
WHEREAS the State Revenue Sharing Act of 1971, as amended, rewards and encourages waste and
inefficiency in government at the expense of the citizens of the more efficient and thrifty local
governments,
141
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 17, 1973
WHEREAS the citizens of many local units of government are being forced by the State to
provide, through the so-called tax effort formula, services such as police department, fire depart-
ments, parks, libraries, garbage pickup, etc., for the people in units of government that are
inefficently operated and/or far in debt, to the detriment of those units of governments who provide
services on an economical basis.
WHEREAS areas such as the City of Detroit have had their sewers, water systems, roads, fire
stations, libraries, storm sewers, etc., paid for many years ago and are no longer required to make
these large capital investments, but which receives a disproportionate share of revenue rebate from
the State of Michigan,
WHEREAS most communities in Oakland County must now install and/or pay for these same
capital improvements, but are forced to pour millions of dollars through revenue sharing into the
City of Detroit,
WHEREAS the State gas tax is now paying for the operating of the public transportation
facilities in large cities and the\,, will no longer be a liability to those cities,
WHEREAS the population of most townships in Oakland County is increasing at the rate of
50% to 100% each ten years,
WHEREAS the population of many larger cities is declining,
WHEREAS the population figure used for revenue distribution by the State will not change
each year to reflect this growth, or decline, but will remain constant until 1980,
WHEREAS the State Revenue Sharing Act of 1971, as amended, deprives most communities in
Oakland County from their own share of those taxes which they have paid to the State of Michigan,
WHEREAS many local units of government in Oakland County receive only $17.50 per capita in
State shared revenues,
WHEREAS the City of Detroit receives $31.55 per capita in State shared revenue,
WHEREAS the problems of suburban areas can no longer be ignored to the benefit of a few cities,
Therefore, be it resolved that the Township of Milford urge all Oakland County State Senators
and State Representatives to work for a more equitable distribution of State tax reve..-,es for their
district in Oakland County,
Be it further resolved, that copies of this resolution be sent to Governor Milliken, Senator
Purcell, Representative Smart, Oakland County Commissioners and ail surrounding communities urging
their support for such revision of the Tax Effort Formula of the State Revenue Sharing Act of 1971."

It is the desire of both parties to this agreement to continue to work harmoniously and to
promote and maintain high standards, between the employer and employees, which will best serve the
citizens of Oakland County, and that all terms of this agreement shall be tempered with the fact and
knowledge that both parties are human beings with the rights of human beings under law and morality.
I. RECOGNITION

to the provisions of this agreement.
III. DUES CHECK-OFF

within the bargaining unit to be selected by the Union and certified in writing to the Employer. The

Section 1 The Employer and the Union support and subscribe to an orderly method of ad-
justing 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, and an attempt will be made to resolve the grievance informally. In the event the steward is
called he shall be released from his duties as soon as possible and in any event no later than the
beginning of his shift the next day and the supervisor, the employee and the steward shall meet
simultaneously in an attempt to resolve the matter. 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 Merit System Rules governing the procedures of the Personnel Appeal Board.
Step 1 If the grievance is not settled informally between the employee and his immediate
supervisor, the employee shall have the right to discuss the grievance with his steward. If, in the
steward's opinion, proper cause for the complaint exists, the Union shall have the right to submit a
145

written grievance on the complaint to the immediate supervisor within five days. The written grievance
must be signed by the employee and his steward and receipt acknowledged by the employee's immediate
supervisor.

Sunday and holidays) of receipt of the written grievance.
Step 3 A grievance not settled at Step 2 may be submitted to the Grievance Committee
within five days of the date of the receipt of the written reply. 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 herein 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 with-
in 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 five (5) 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 five (5) 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 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 within 3 days of receipt of notice of recall
from a layoff, unless a satisfactory reason is given.
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 seniority order within the bargaining unit based on
capability of performing available jobs and shall be recalled in the inverse order. All employees so
laid off shall be offered the opportunity of recall prior to the hiring of any new employees within the
bargaining unit. Entitlement to recall shall not extend beyond the length of seniority at the time of
layoff, and in any event the period of recall shall not exceed three years.
VIII. 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 rate or structure is proper, the Union shall have the right to request a meeting of the
special conference committee to discuss the matter.

IN RE. MEMORIAL FOR CONSTANTINE PETER MEHAS, M.D.
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Dr. hehas was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on July 19, 1906. He attended school there and
graduated from the University of Cincinnati Medical School in 1936. He interned at St. Mary's Hospital
in Cincinnati and did postgraduate work at the British Medical College in London.
Dr. Mehas served at the Oakland County Tuberculosis Sanatorium from 1942 to 1952 and was its
Medical Director for much of that time. During his tenure as Director a number of advances in the treat-
ment programs in the use of lung-collapse therapy were instituted under Dr. Mehas' direction in the
Royal Oak Health Facility and the Union Lake Hospital. He also pioneered in the use of drug treatment
in tuberculosis and was involved in the clinical trials of streptomycin for tuberculosis treatment.
Patients who were formerly condemned to long range illnesses or death were able to be cured
or have their disease arrested to leave the hospital and lead productive lives. Former patients fondly
remember Dr. Mehas' kindness and medical and spiritual stimulation to enable them to endure their
illness.
Dr. Mehas was deeply involved in the care and treatment of alcoholic patients. He developed
a treatment group at the hospital. He continued his involvement with Alcoholics Anonymous throughout
his life-time, speaking to groups throughout Oakland County.
He continued to serve the County as TB consultant, seeing patients in the Health Department
Out-Patient Clinics and as a consultant to the Alcohol Program of the Health Department until just prior
to his death.
Dr. Mehas was a Fellow of the American College of Chest Physicians, a 30-year member of the
Oakland County Medical Society and Michigan State Medical Society. He was on the Oakland County
Tuberculosis Association Board of Trustees since 1946 and served as its president from 1956 to 1958.
He has been on the staff of St. Joseph's Mercy Hospital and William Beaumont Hospital. He
was in the private practice of medicine with offices in Birmingham.
He is survived by his wife, Phyllis and four children, Margo, Andrea, Anita and Michael;
five grandchildren, one sister and one brother.
Dr. Mehas will be long remembered by his fellow employees in County government, both past
and Present, and by his friends and patients. He served Oakland County and his fellow-man well.
Mr. Chairman, I move that the foregoing memorial resolution be spread upon the minutes of
this meeting and that the County Clerk forward a certified copy, affixed with the Seal of the County

under this agreement 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. The Township hereby
covenants and agrees that, to the fullest possible extent, it will raise such other funds in the
manner provided in paragraph (2), Section 12, Act No. 185, or any amendments thereto, primarily by
the exaction of direct connection charges, capital charges, debt service charges and other charges
from the users of the system in the areas serviced by the several sections in the Township in amounts
sufficient to operate, maintain, and repair the system and to pay such contractual obligations. The
Township further covenants and agrees that all funds of the system received in the form of such charges
shall be and are hereby entirely pledged for the payment of said obligations.
II. The County does hereby agree to continue to operate and to maintain the said facilities
of the system serving the areas of the several sections of the system, as the agent for the Township
to serve the individual users of the system in said areas in the Township. Such operation, maintenance,
repair and management of the system shall be under the immediate supervision and control of the Board
of Public Works. The facilities in the area served by the Northwest Section shall be operated separately
from the facilities in the areas served, also to be operated separately, by System "A", and by Industrial
Section One and all direct connection charges, capital charges, debt service charges and other charges
and proceeds of tax levies shall be received, deposited and accounted for separately by the Board. The
County will provide insurance of such types and such amounts on the system as would ordinarily be carried
by private companies engaged in similar enterprise, which insurance shall include sufficient liability
insurance protecting the County and the Township against loss on account of damage or injury to persons
or property imposed by reason of the ownership or operation of any sections of the system or resulting
from any act or omission or commission on the part of the County or the Township, or any agents,
officers, or employees of either, in connection with the operation, maintenance or repair of any section
of the system.
12. It is understood and agreed that the supply of water for all sections of the system is
to be procured and purchased by the County from the City of Detroit pursuant to a contract therefor
executed by said City and the County, and the Township shall comply with all requirements and regulations
thereunder.
13. In order to raise the necessary Funds with which to meet its obligations hereunder, and
in performance of its agreement to raise moneys other than by taxation for the making of the payments
herein required to be made to the County, the Township shall (as it has done for the existing sections
of the system) by appropriate ordinance establish and maintain in effect in the Township, and the County
shall bill and collect on behalf of the Township, as its operating agent, such connection, capital,
meter, water consumption, debt service and other charges as shall be necessary in order to provide
revenues sufficient for the operation, maintenance and repair of the Northwest Section of the system
(including as an operating expense the cost of water supplied by the City of Detroit and the costs of
the Township and of its operating agent for billing and collecting) and for the discharge of the
obligations of the Township to the County as herein provided. All such revenues from the Northwest
Section, as collected, shall be set aside and paid into a fund to be established and maintained on
behalf of the Township by the County as its agent and to be known as the "Northwest Section Revenue
Fund' which shall be set up and maintained separate and apart from the accounts for previously acquired
sections of the system. The expense of operation, maintenance and repair of the Northwest Section of
the system, including the cost of water furnished by the City of Detroit, shall be paid by the County
from said Fund. The balance thereof shall be applied upon the obligation of the Township hereunder to
pay the cost of the Northwest Section of the system. The similar arrangements now in effect for existing
sections of the system shall be continued, with such adjustment as necessary, with respect to the
extensions of such sections to be acquired and financed under this agreement. The Board, shall, not
later than November I, preceding the beginning of each fiscal year, adopt a budget covering the foregoing
expenses for such year and shall establish rates for water services of the Northwest Section of the
system for such year on the basis thereof and of the estimated water use in such year and similar action
shall be taken at such time for the other sections of the system. The system shall be operated upon the
basis of a fiscal year which begins on January I, and ends on December 31, of each year. Any and all
revenues remaining in said Northwest Section Revenue Fund at the close of any calendar year from time
to time may be used to pre-pay the contractual obligations of the Township to the County as provided
herein or may, with the prior approval of the Township Board, be used for the replacement, improvement,
enlargement or extension of this Northwest Section oF the system. The similar provisions applicable
to other sections of the system are hereby confirmed as to the extensions thereof herein provided.

by the Northwest Section is incorporated as a new city or is annexed to or becomes a part of the territory
of 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 of the
Township to the County, and of the contractual right of the Township to water supply service hereunder,

interest thereon. The Township and the County further covenant and agree that they will each comply
promptly with their respective dutiee and obligations under the terms of this agreement at the times and
in the manner herein set forth, and eill not suffer to be done any act which would in any way impair the

in amounts sufficient to operate, maintain, and repair the system and to pay such contractual obligations.
The Township further covenants and agrees that all funds of the system received in the form of such
charges shall be and are hereby entirely pledged for the payment of said obligations.
II. The Township does hereby agree to operate and maintain the said Extension No. 2 as part of
the system to serve the individual users of the system in the Township. Such operation, maintenance,
repair and management of the system shall be under the immediate supervision and control of the Township
Board. The facilities in the area served by this Extension No. 2 shall be operated separately from the
facilities in the areas served, also separately, by Extension No. 1 and all direct connection charges,
capital charges, debt service charges and other charges and proceeds of tax levies shall be received,
deposited and accounted for separately by the Township Board. The Township will provide insurance of
such types and such amounts on the s',stem as would ordinarily be carried by private companies engaged
in similar enterprise, which insurance shall include sufficient liability insurance protecting the
County and the Township against loss on account of damage or injury to persons or property imposed by
reason of the ownership or operation of any sections of the system or resulting from any act of omission
or commission on the part of the County or the Township, or any agents, officers, or employees of either,
in connection with the operation, maintenance or repair of any sections of the system.
12. It is understood and agreed that the supply of water for all sections of the system is to
be procured and purchased by the County from the City of Detroit pursuant to a contract therefor
executed by said city and the County, and the Township shall comply with all requirements and regulat-
ions thereunder.
13. In order to raise the necessary funds with which to meet its obligations hereunder, and
in performance of its agreement to raise moneys other than by taxation for the making of the payments
herein required to be made to the County. the Township shall by appropriate ordinance establish and
maintain in effect in the Township, and the Township shall bill and collect, such connection, capital,
meter, water consumption, debt service and other charges as shall be necessary in order to provide
revenues sufficient for the operation, maintenance and repair of this Extension No. 2 of the system
(including as an operating expense the cost of water supplied by the City of Detroit and the costs of
the Township for its operating and maintaining and for billing and collecting) and for the discharge
of the obligations of the Township to the Eounty as herein provided. All such revenues as collected
shall be set aside and paid into a fund to be established and maintained by the Township and to be
known as the "Extension No. 2 Revenue Fund" which shall be set up and maintained separate and apart
from the accounts for previously acquired sections of the system. The expense of operation, maintenance
and repair of Extension No. 2 of the system, including the cost of water furnished by the City of
Detroit, shall be paid by the Townshia from said Fund. The balance thereof shall be applied upon the
obligation of the Township hereunder to pay the cost of this Extension No. 2 of the system. The Town-
ship Board, shall, not later than November I, preceding the beginning of each fiscal year, adopt a
budget covering the foregoing expense for such year and shall establish rates for water services of
Extension No. 2 of the system for such year on the basis thereof and of the estimated water use in
such year and similar action shall be taken at such time for the other sections of the system. The
system shall be operated upon the basis of a fiscal year which begins on January 1, and ends on
December 31, of each year. Any and all revenues remaining in saia Extension No. 2 Revenue Fund at the
close of any calendar year from time to time nay be used to pre-pay the contractual obligations of the
Township to the County as provided herein or may, with the prior approval of the Board, be used for the
replacement, improvement, enlargement or extension of Extension No. 2 of the System.
14. No change in the jurisdiction over any territory in the Township shall in any manner impair
the obligations of this agreement. In the event all or any part of the territory of the Township served
by Extension No. 2 is incorporated ac a new city or is annexed to or becomes a part of the territory of
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 of the
Township to the County, and of the contractual right of the Township to water supply service hereunder,
such proportionate share to be determined by the Board of Public Works. The determination by the Board
shall be based primarily upon the proportion of the total design capacity of the entire Extension No. 2
located within the area incorporated or annexed. PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in making such determination
Commissioners Minutes Continued. September 20, 1973 250
the Board shall take into consideration all factors necessary to make the division equitable. In
addition, the Board shall in the case of partial incorporation or annexation, prior to such determinat-
ion, 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 appointed 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, the the Board may proceed without said recommendation.
If the committee shall not make its recommendation within forty-five (45) days after its appointment
or with 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. If territory in the Township not served by this Extension No. 2 is
incorporated as a city or annexed to another municipality, such territory shall remain subject to the
levy of a tax to support the full faith and credit pledge of the Township to pay its obligations to
the County at the same time and to the same extent as all other territory now or then in the Township.
15. The County and the Township each recognize that the holders from time to time of the bonds
to be issued by the County under the provisions of said Act No. 185, Michigan Public Acts of 1957, as
amended, and secured by the full faith and credit pledge of the Township to the making of its payments
as set forth in this agreement, will have contractual rights in the agreement, and it is therefore
covenanted and agreed by the parties hereto that so long as any of said bonds shall remain outstanding
and unpaid, the provisions of this agreement shall not be subject to any alteration or revision which
would in any manner affect either the security of the bonds or the prompt payment of principal or in-
terest thereon. The Township and the County further covenant and agree that they will each comply
promptly with their respective duties and obligations under the terms of this agreement at the times
and in the manner herein set forth, and will not suffer to be done any act which would in any way impair
the said bonds, the security therefor, or the prompt payment of principal and interest thereon. It is
hereby declared that the terms of this agreement insofar as they pertain to the security of any such
bonds shall be deemed to be for the benefit of the holders of the said bonds.
16. This agreement shall become effective upon approval by the Township Board of the Township,
by the Board of Public Works of Oakland County, and by the Board of Commissioners of Oakland County,
and when duly executed by the authorized officers of the Township and of the Board of Public Works.
This agreement shall terminate forty (40) years from the date of this agreement or on such earlier date
as shall be mutually agreed: PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that it shall not be terminated by mutual agreement
or at any time when the Township is in default hereunder or at any time prior to the payment in full
of the principal of and interest on the County bonds together with all paying agent fees and other
charges pertaining to said bonds. This agreement may be executed in several counterparts. The
provisions of this agreement 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 cuased this agreement to be executed and delivered
by their respective duly authorized officers, all as of the day and year first above written.

IN RE: EQUALIZATION COMMITTEE REPORT - LOCAL TAXES
To the Honorable Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Your Equalization Committee on Local Taxes has examined reports from the various townships and
cities having taxes to be spread upon the County Tax Roll, and has checked these reports with the
pertinent law (Sec. 37 General Property Tax Law) has caused corrections to be made where necessary, has
held a public hearing on September 24, 1973, and now certifies that such reports are correct and in order.
Your Committee has tabulated the total amount of estimated tax levies, which tabulation is
hereto.
Your Committee has prepared tax certificates showing the Equalized Rates authorized to be
spread against State Equalized Valuations, which certificates are submitted herewith and which are the
basis for the tabulation above mentioned, and it is recommended that your Honorable Body authorize the
Clerk to sign these certificates.
Your Committee offers the following resolutions:
1. BE IT RESOLVED that this Board adopt this report of the Equalization Committee with the
recommendations herein contained as part of the permanent records of the Board.
2. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk be authorized and directed to sign the several tax
certificates on which the attached tabulation was based, thereby authorizing and directing the various
assessing officers to spread the rates against the State Equalized Valuation set forth therein for 1973.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Committee, whose signatures appear below, I move the adoption
of the foregoing resolution.

IN RE: PROPOSED REVISION OF MICHIGAN MENTAL HEALTH STATUTES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Michigan Mental Health Statutes Study Subcommittee of the Legislative Council is
engaged in drafting an omnibus revision of Michigan statutes relating to mental health care, including
the Community Mental Health Act of 1963; and
WHEREAS this new legislation, which is expected to be introduced into the next session of the
Legislature, provides for a single fixed funding ratio between State and County costs to be applied to
all public mental health services, whether they be first-year institutional care, long-term institutional
care, community mental health services or any other publicly funded agencies; and
WHEREAS our first concern must be to make the best and most appropriate mental health care
readily available to all County residents, the which effort is now hindered by the multiplicity of mental
health funding mechanisms currently in operation; and
WHEREAS your Committee concurs in the recommendation of the Health Committee that the fixed
funding ratio be set at 90% State/1O5 County dollars in order to provide for a distribution of financial
responsibility which is equitable and commensurate with the fiscal capabilities of County and State;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby supports
a single fixed funding ratio of 90% State/ 10/, County dollars to be applied to the costs of all public
mental health services of whatever type, which costs should be limited by safeguards incorporated into
the proposed legislation to insure the counties of a voice in all decisions which will substantially
affect the cost of State-operated mental health services; and that the Oakland County Board of Commis-
sioners so recommends to the County's Legislators for inclusion in the omnibus revision of the Michigan
mental health statutes.
The Legislative Committee, by Robert A. Button, Chairman, moves the adoption of the foregoing
resolution and requests that certified copies thereof be forwarded to the Oakland County Legislators.

STATUS REPORT
By Mrs. Moffitt
IN RE: STATUS REPORT OF SPECIAL MANPOWER COMMITTEE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The first meeting of the Special Manpower Committee was held on Tuesday, October 16, 1973.
The purpose of the meeting was to evaluate the involvement of Oakland County in manpower programs
under the Federal Manpower Sharing Program. The initial steps necessary to make such an evaluation were
discussed.
Oakland County has been declared eligible to be funded in the amount of $75,000 for the purpose
of creating a plan to participate in the Manpower Programs under the Department of Labor. After consider-
able discussion and review of information furnished by the Board of Auditors, it was agreed that an appli-
cation for an "Operational Plannino Grant" in the amount of $75,000 will be developed and processed.
Also, it was unanimously agreed that the Committee shall present a resolution to the Board of Commissioners
recommending that the County apply for the grant. It was also unanimously agreed that when and if the
funds are approved, this Special Manpower Committee will act as the reviewing body to make recommendations
to the full Board for final authorization for expenditure of funos for the intended purpose.
Miscellaneous Resolution -,6453 involves the Ancillary Manpower Board chaired by Mary Dearborn.
Under this resolution Oak!..nd aydnty would be the nrime sponsor the Michigan Economic Opportunity
Office Manpower Programs. As prime ':porsor all funds due the contracting agencies for services would be
channeled through Oakland County and would nave the responsibility and control of finances for these
programs. Since the State Office is responsible for funding of M.E.0.0. programs in Oakland County and has
been previously notified of this intent, it is their decision that this resolution be passed at the earliest
possible time, in order that the contracting agencies are able to maintain their funding.
In view ot this State decision, this Committee agreed that the County was obligated and voted
unanimously to recommend approval of this resolution to the Board of Connissioners.

Lowell M. Wiese, MD, Director
Oakland County Health Department
1200 North Telegraph Road
Pontiac, Michigan 48053
Dear Doctor Wiese:
As you know, additional federal project funds have been made available to the state the past year to
initiate an all-out effort to control the ever-increasing incidence of gonorrhea, which has reached
epidemic proportions.
During the first ten months of this year, Oakland County reported 1,805 cases of gonorrhea. In October
alone, 237 county residents were reported and treated for the disease. At this rate, Oakland County
will report approximately 2,300 cases for the year, which would be a 351 increase over 1972.
During the past year, a state-assigned Public Health Field Representative (Mr. Jim Goodman) has been
assigned half-time to Oakland County. The female gonorrhea screening program in the county has been
developed to the point that we are now testing 2,600 females per month, which consistently produces a
3+1 positivity rate.
However, it is felt that the gonorrhea casefinding program needs to be strengthened. In addition to
the support already furnished by the county and state, additional investigative and clerical support
is needed to further control efforts. In order to provide this additional assistance, the Venereal
Disease Control Program proposes to assign an additional full-time Public Health Field Representative
to the county and provide funds through contractual agreement for a full-time clerical position.
The Contractual agreement would initially be written to support salary and fringe benefits for the
clerical position through June 30, 1974. Since the program is assured of continued funding through
fiscal year 1975, the contract would be renewed in June 1974 and extended through June 1975. Continued
support beyond that point is anticipated but cannot be promised.
I trust that this proposal will meet with your approval and that it can be implemented with minimal
delay.
Sincerely,
Joseph L. Ploussard, Chief
Venereal Disease Control Program

IN RE: 1974 FINAL ANNUAL BUDGET INCLUDING THE 1974 SALARY PORTION OF THE BUDGET
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
As required by State Law, the Oakland County Board of Auditors on October 9, 1973, presented
their 1974 Budget recommendations to the Board of Commissioners.
In accordance with Board rules, these in turn were referred to the Finance, Personnel
Practices and Buildings and Grounds Committees for study and recommendations on the final 1974 Budget.
Your Finance Committee, after carefully reviewing the recommendations of the Auditors, the
Personnel Practices and Buildings and Grounds Committees, and after conducting hearings with County
Departments and other agencies requesting funds, now present our recommended Budget for the fiscal year
beginning January 1, 1974 and ending December 31, 1974 in the amount of $49,099,224,
The Auditors October 9th Budget recommendations of $49,714,108 were reduced by your Committee
to $49,099,224 or a net reduction of $614,884. These reductions were effectuated in the following
general categories: Non-Departmental appropriations $118,069; Departments and Institutions Operating
Budgets $64,350 and Departmental Budget requests for New Positions $432,465. Your Finance Committee's
1974 Budget recommendations reflect an increase of $4,550,167 million or 10.217, over the 1973 Budget
distributed as follows: Non-Departmental appropriations 6.957. (1.076,356); Departments and Institutions
Operating 10.277 (941,674); Departments and Institutions Personnel costs 12.717, (2 ,532,137).
No detail departmental sheets have been included with this Budget document. Due to limits
of time and to avoid unnecessary duplication ce costs and because with few exceptions, the departmental
detail sheets submitted by the Auditors on October 9th are the same as those herein recommended; depart-
mental details as submitted by the Auditors should be considered a part of these recommendations with
exceptions as hereafter noted.
REVENUES
I. Property Tax Levy: Continuance of present County allocated tax rate of 5.26 mills will
provide approximately 2,367 million dollars, 8.35V of the total revenue increase of $4,550,167.
Additionally this year, we are able to budget as a result of the operations of the "Delinquent Tax
Revolving Fund" a delinquent tax collection - prior years of $500,000. It is to be noted that the
5.26 mills includes a mandatory allocation of .25 mills for the Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority
and therefore the property tax revenue for general County purposes is actually 5.01 mills or 1.459
million less than the total 30.7 million projected from tax revenues.
2. Non-Property Tax Revenues:
(A) Federal Revenue Sharing: Federal Revenue Sharing is expected to provide $2,850,000
in revenues for the Budget Year. Of these, $1,400,000 is committed to the Building Fund and $1,450,000
for general operations as follows:

TOTAL $1,450,000
(B) Year-end Balance: In order to meet recommended expenditure requirements, your
Committee has included a $400,000 committment of the 1973 anticipated year-end balance.
EXPENDITURES
1. Non-Departmental: Non-Departmental expenditures totaling $16,550,814 reflect an increase
over the 1973 Budget of $1,076,356 or 6.957. Major areas of increase are as follows: Data Processing
$135,042; Community Mental Health $118,420, State Institutions $300,000; Elections $165,000; Employees
Retirement Fund $425,000.
(A) Outside Agencies: It is your Committee recommendation that the budgeted dollars
allocated to the following agencies not be disbursed by the Auditors without the specific approval of
the Board of Commissioners: Comprehensive Health Planning Council; Council of Governments (SEMCOG).
The appropriations for the Clinton River Watershed Council and Huron River Watershed Council have been
reduced on recommendation of the Public Works Committee to $500 each with additional funds to be
appropriated only upon Board approval of specific project requests by these agencies. Funds for the
Library Board are to be released by the Auditors only upon approval of the Local and Regional Affairs
Committee. Additionally, the $118,000 which the Auditors recommended for the Human Services Agency for
Oakland County (0E0) was transferred by your Committee to the Contingent Fund until such time as the
special Sub-Committee created for the purpose of studying the structural changes in said agency submits
its final report and recommendations.
2. Departments and Institutions
(A) Salaries: The Committee recommends a total of $22,645,088, less the $200,000 estimated
Personnel Turnover Adjustment, to cover the Personnel portion of the Budget as recommended by the
Personnel Practices Committee in the attached report. Of this amount, $1,276,885 is in the Salary
Reserve account for anticipated salary adjustments and it is your Committee recommendation that any
unused funds provided for this purpose be transferred to the Contingent Fund as soon as possible.
(B) Operating: Operating expenditures totaling $10,103,322 reflect an increase of
$94 1,674 or 10.27'. Major areas of increase are as follows: Animal Welfare $97,170; D.F.O. Maintenance
$153,840; Clerk/Register $74,220; Health $41,700; Hospital $85,685; Prosecutor $40,820, Sheriff $131,425.
3. Capital Program: The proposed financing for the 1974 County Capital Program totaling
$4,318,459 is made up of the following: Federal Revenue Sharing Committed toward Children's Village
$1,400,000; Building Authority payments toward the New Law Enforcement Complex $672,250 and the East
Wing $236,500; 1/10 mill statutory Building Fund Appropriation of $583,690 and allocation of Miscel-
laneous Non-Tax Revenue of $1,426,019. Your Committees are now in the process of establishing project
priorities for the $2,009,709 (583,690 + $1,426,019) of uncommitted funds. In order to meet the present
5 year Capital Construction Program your Finance Committee has recommended an increase of $583,690 to
the Auditors original recommendations.
CONCLUSIONS
Your Finance Committee believes the projections herein are realistic and the expenditures
recommended provide as equitable and efficient distribution of revenues to the many services requiring
County support as is possible within the limits of available funds.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move the adoption of the above report
and approval of the 1974 Budget as submitted.
Respectfully submitted,

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.

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. $540,129 was spent for
this purpose in 1972 and $456,583 has been spent during the first 8 months of 1973. Also charged to
this fund is the cost of Premium Pay for Legal Holidays worked and pay for off-duty Court Appearance
by Law Enforcement employees.
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, fuTI-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 accJmulated throughout the year by the various County departments.
Currently the County pays $1.75 per hour for the first year and $7.00 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 allows the
Personnel Practices Committee to oversee summer employment distribution.
TRAINING AND TUITION REIMBURSEMENT
Placing these monies in the Salaries Reserve Fund allows the Board of Auditors to coordinate,
and the Personnel Practices Committee to oversee, 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.
CLASSIFICATION AND RATE CHANGES DURING BUDGET YEAR
Because the County is a very complex institution which is constantly changing its scope, the
duties of many psoitions change during each budget year. With over 2,600 positions, it is not possible
to study and report all such changes in time to be reflected in the County's annual Budget, many changes
in classification and some rate adjustments must be made during the Budget year. The creation of new
classifications and new salary rates can only be done by the Board of Commissioners and these funds can
be used only with the approval of the Board.
POSSIBLE SALARY ADJUSTMENTS
The $1,277,097 recommended for possible salary adjustments is 6/ of the total recommended for
previously approved positions, new positions and overtime reserve, as all three are directly affected
by changes in salary rates. Of the 1,815 budgeted positions included in this recommendation, the 1974
salaries of 244 positions have already been established as they will be working 1974 as the second year
of two year labor contracts. The departments affected are Animal Welfare, the maintenance unit of the
Drain Commissioner's staff, the Sheriff and the Assistant Prosecuting Attorney's. The estimated cost
337
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 6, 1973
of 1974 salary adjustments for these 244 positions is $139,938. The 1974 salaries of 387 additional
employees will be the subject of negotiations with bargaining units representing the employees of the
Probate Court, Circuit Court Probation, and the Hospital. The salary adjustments requests from depart-
ment heads for non-represented employees have uniformly stressed the need to substantially upgrade the
salaries of middle and upper management type classifications. They have consistently and dramatically
cited instances where considerable additional responsibility is expected of employees for only token
differentials in pay over those supervised. There is considerable evidence that the flat percentage
increases applied to most classifications over the past three years, when combined with the slightly
higher increases given to some of the County's lower classifications while holding higher management
salaries relatively stable, has resulted in squeezing middle management and technical salaries into a
narrow range. The classifications involved are those carrying some of the greatest responsibility for
the County's success in its day to day operations. The Personnel Division has completed its annual
survey of salaries and fringe benefits paid for comparable job classifications and the Personnel
Practices Committee will shortly be making specific 1974 salary recommendations for each of the County's
classifications.
FRINGE BENEFIT IMPROVEMENTS
In arriving at two year labor contracts for a number of the County's Bargaining Units in 1973,
the County agreed to provide one of the following employee fringe benefits for 1974.
Either: Improved Hospitalization Insurance
Improved Life Insurance
An Income Continuation Insurance Beyond Sick Leave
The cost was to be equivalent to the additional cost of upgrading the County's Hospitalization
Insurance to the Blue Cross MVF-2 Contract and the choice of benefits was to be the County's. The
$250,000 budgeted for this item is an estimated increase in cost of upgrading MVF-2. The cost estimate
included an anticipated rate increase and an increased number of covered employees. The Personnel and
the Central Services Divisions of the Board of Auditors are presently analyzing coverage and premium
information in all three of the above insurance areas and the Board of Auditors will make recommendations
to the Personnel Practices Committee as soon as is compatible with the collective bargaining process.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AMOUNT BUDGETED IN THIS RECOMMENDATION AND ANTICIPATED COST AS TIME OF PRINTING
Because of the time required to prepare, review, and print the budget, it is necessary to
"freeze" the County operation at a particular point in time and to consider all budgetary changes
relative to that base. The Personnel portion of this budget recommendation is based on the positions
approved as of August 18, 1973 and since that date the Board of Commissioners has approved changes in
numbers of positions and classifications which result in a net increase in the projected County-wide
1974 salaries cost of $7,429 more than the costs shown in this recommendation. This amount will be
reflected in the next version of the 1974 budget. The Departmental budgets affected are the Sheriff,
Marine Safety, Trusty Camp, and District Courts.

sioners, hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Employer", and Metropolitan Council No. 23, of

the "Union".
It is the desire of both parties to this agreement to continue to work harmoniously and to
promote and maintain high standards, between the employer and employees, which will best serve the
citizens of Oakland County, and that all terms of this agreement shall be tempered with the fact and
knowledge that both parties are human beings with the rights of human beings under law and morality.
I. RECOGNITION
The Employer recognizes the Union as the exclusive representative of the following
employees, for the purposes of collective bargaining with respect to rates of pay, wages, hours of
employment and other terms and conditions of employment, and in the following bargaining units for which
they have been certified; and in which the Union is recognized as collective bargaining representative,
subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Act 336 of the Public Acts of 1947, as amended:
All General Maintenance Mechanics - P & R, Grounds Equipment Mechanics and Parks Main-
tenance Aides employed by the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission, but excluding super-
visors and all other employees.
II. MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY
The right to hire, promote, discharge or discipline for just cause, and to maintain
discipline and efficiency of employees, is the sole responsibility of the Employer except that Union
members shall not be discriminated against as such. In addition, the work schedules, methods and
means of departmental operations are solely and exclusively the responsibility of the Employer, subject,
however, to the provisions of this agreement.
III. DUES CHECK-OFF
(a) The Employer agrees to deduct the union membership initiation fee and dues, once each
month, from the pay of those employees who individually authorize in writing that such deductions be
made. All authorizations delivered to the Employer prior to the first day of the month shall become
effective during that succeeding month. Check-off monies will be deducted from the second paycheck of
each month and shall be remitted together with an itemized statement to the local treasurer, within
fourteen (14) days after the deductions have been made.
(b) An employee shall cease to be subject to check-off deductions beginning with the
month immediately following the month in which he is no longer a member of the bargaining unit. Any
employee may voluntarily cancel or revoke the Authorization for Check-off deduction upon written notice
to the Employer and the Union during the fifteen (15) day period prior to the expiration date of the
agreement.

not more than two (2) based on the present composition of the bargaining unit.
Section 4 (a) There shall be a Chief Steward and an alternate Chief Steward representing all
employees covered by this agreement, one of which shall be from Addison-Oaks Park. During the term of
this agreement and due to the fact that Addison-Oaks Park is geographically distant from the other
County parks, the alternate Chief Steward shall perform all the duties and functions of a steward.
(b) Stewards will be permitted to leave their work, after obtaining approval of
their respective supervisors and recording their time, for the purpose of adjusting grievances in

Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 20, 1973
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.
Section 5 There shall be a grievance committee consisting of two representatives to be
selected by the Union who shall be any two of the following: Chapter Chairman, Chief Steward, or
Alternate Chief Steward. The Employer shall meet whenever necessary, at a mutually convenient tine,
with the Union grievance committee.
V. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
Section 1 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,
and an attempt will be made to resolve the grievance informally. In the event the steward is called
he shall be released from his duties as soon as possible and in any event no later than the beginning
of his shift the next day and the supervisor, the employee and the steward shall meet simultaneously
in an attempt to resolve the matter. 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 between the employee and his immediate
supervisor, the employee shall have the right to discuss the grievance with his steward. If, in the
steward's opinion, proper cause for the complaint exists, the Union shall have the right to submit a
written grievance on the complaint to the immediate supervisor within five days. The written grievance
must be signed by the employee and his steward and receipt acknowledge by the employee's immediate
Supervisor.
Step 2 The department will give its written reply within five days (excluding Saturday,
Sunday and holidays) of receipt of the written grievance.
Step 3 A grievance not settled at Step 2 may be submitted to the Grievance Committee within
five days of the date of the receipt of the written reply. 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 arbitratior, 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 five (5) 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 five (5) 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 bargaining unit seniority order, based on capability
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 20, 1973 352
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 nassed 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 one
full shift, the base salary rate will be paid to the employee in the temporary assignment for the time
actually worked in the higher classification but the increased earnings will not count toward the basis
on which service increment pay is determined.
Xl. GENERAL CONDITIONS
Section 1 Employees elected to any permanent full time Union office or selected by the Union
to do work which takes them from their employment with the County, shall at the written request of the
Union be granted a leave of absence without pay. The leave of absence shall not exceed two (2) years,
but it shall be renewed or extended for a similar period at any time upon the written request of the

time between the Chapter Chairman and the Employer or its designated representative upon the request of

IN RE: ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS COMMITTEE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
In accordance with Section X, Rule "A" of the Rules for Oakland County Board of Commissioners,
your Buildings and Grounds Committee has made its Annual Inspection of county owned buildings and
grounds; and, is pleased to report that it found the majority of the county facilities satisfactorily
maintained, cleaned and repaired. The conditions speak well of the program carried out by the employees
and staff of the Board of Auditors Facilities and Operations Divis1ons.
During this past year there have been many accomplishments in the Facilities Capital Improve-
ment Program. Construction on the new Children's Village - Phase II was started in June 1973. The
cost of this project, $4,379,000, is being financed out of Revenue Sharing Funds. The Administrative
Annex II was renovated to furnish office space for the Planning Commission, Equalization and Friend of
the Court. Due to the Energy Crisis the actual relocation of the departments has been delayed to March
of 1974, for the purpose of conserving fuel.
A number of projects have been completed during the year. The Pontiac Health addition was
completed in August 1973, with financial assistance of $140,000 Federal grant. The Oakland Social
Service Building renovation was completed in January 1973; and provides office space for the Department
of Social Services, Office of Equal Opportunity, Senior Citizens' Droc-in Center and the Clothing Store
facility. Additional renovation improvements for this building have been authorized to bring the
facility up to county standards.
Two Circuit Courts and chambers were completed and occupied in March 1973, in the Courthouse
East Wing.
The Buildings and Grounds Committee, with the Health and Finance Committees, have initiated
and received numerous studies and reports from an Ad Hoc Committee: Board of Auditors; Facilities and
Operations and Tarapata, MacMahon, Paulsen, architectural firm, to determine the type of Hospital
services and facility requirements the county should have to meet the demands of the people. Your
Committee is still evaluating these reports and has requested some additional information before a
final determination will be made by February 1974.
The Service Center grounds continue to develop a campus like environment for county government.
Two major landscaping programs were completed this year around the Law Enforcement-Jail Complex and the
Mental Retardation Center. In addition, the Administrative Annex II North Parking Lot was renovated,
359
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 20, 1973
increasing its capacity; and, the Credit Union's entrance drive was widened to handle the increased
flow of traffic caused by the completion of the addition to the Credit Union.
In the utilities area, Primary Electrical Phase IV was completed and Primary Electrical
Phase V contracts have been approved with construction scheduled to start shortly. Also, contracts
with engineering consulting firms have been approved for the purpose of preparing drawings and
specifications for the replacement of the boilers in the Central Heating Plant; and, the installation
of a standby emergency power system for the County and Oakland Schools' Data Processing Centers.
The 10 portable buildings have been reoccupied, with Drug Abuse occupying buildings 1, 2, 3,
and 4 and Waterford School District leasing buildings 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
The old, Jail located in the City of Pontiac, was sold. Also, ftl Lafayette Street Office
Building was vacated and turned back to the City of Pontiac.
Your Committee, as required by Lease Agreements, approved the concepts for an addition to
the Oakland Schools Building, a new office building for the Road Commission and an indoor swimming
pool at Waterford Oaks.
Special reports were reviewed: A Winter Tree Program which will furnish matured trees for
the Service Center; review of the security on the Service Center and a report on a Central Control
System to monitor fire, heating, air conditioning and security for the county facilities.
The Michigan Humane Society completed and occupied their new structure in August 1973, on
the property which the county sold them in 1972, on Brown Road in Pontiac Township.
While it would be impractical to note each of the major repairs and alteration programs of
this past year, your Committee would like to report that it has been necessary to carry out a con-
tinuous program of alterations and repairs to provide adequate functional space for the county depart-
ments. The largest of the major building repairs was made to the exterior marble facia on the Court-
house Complex, which was completed this year. Also, major renovations at the Southfield Health Center
and Courthouse Complex were completed to accommodate the different agency requirements for office
expansion.
Your Committee continues to see a large task ahead to provide governmental facilities for
our growing county. Surplus space in the existing buildings is non-existant.
In 1973 the county surpassed the one million square foot mark, with a total of 1,039,695
square feet of floor area.
This year has been a busy year, but your Committee expects the years ahead to be even busier
in order to provide an adequate physical plant in which to carry out county services.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Buildings and Grounds Committee, I move that the foregoing
report be received and placed on file.
