IN RE: NATURAL DISASTER TO FARMERS OF OAKLAND COUNTY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS there have been serious crop losses by the farmers of the County of Oakland; and
WHEREAS these losses are a direct result of:
1. Excess rainfall and cold weather during the normal planting season. This resulted in a
late-planted crop or caused the added expense of replanting in many cases.
2. Drought during the months of July and August.
3. Early frost on September 23rd killed off plant stalks, preventing any further plant
development.
and
WHEREAS due to these weather conditions the total crop produced for the area was reduced
substantially. For this reason farms have suffered substantial losses and Farmers Home Administration
loans should be made available to farmers who suffered crop losses so they may carry on a normal
operation in 1975; and
WHEREAS over 250 farmers in the County have suffered losses mentioned in this resolution.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED it is the desire of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
that Oakland be declared a disaster area for the purpose of providing farmers with emergency credit

County Message.
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, members of the Board of Commissioners, People ol Oakland County, it givv, mum
great pride to stand before you as Oakland County's First elected Executive,
As I thought about what I would say to you in this first formal communication with the Board
oI Commissioners, many thoughts went through my mind as to how to set the stage for our deliberation
and cooperation in the months and years ahead.
Today, 1 would like to share what I consider to be the most important of the thought .. and
idea5.
First, it seems to me that the people of Oakland County and for that matter, the people of
America, are asking for and have a right to receive - Straight Talk - from their elected officials.
That is what the Board of Commissioners has received from me during the past 11 years as Chairman of
the Board of Auditors...and that is what the people of Oakland County will receive from me for a.. long
as I am their County Executive.
Today I stand before you as Michigan's first elected County Executive. A new role - role I
accept with the humility gained by the knowledge that a million people will be affected by the d,,kion ,,
that we make together ... and a role I accept with confidence...a confidence gained through 23 year.. of
experience dealing with the shaping of Oakland County government. The lessons of the past, I believe,
will help me to provide leader.hip for our future actions which will determiint the quality of lilo mm
Oakland County_
Now we embark upon a new courme in County government - and we begin with some SIRAR.HI IAIK
about the role of County Executive ... as I see it. I be the key words are leader..hip and
cooperation.
Leadership in solving county-wide problems.
Leadership in achieving for Oakland County some straight talk And some straight result.. Itatin
all of our representatives in Washington and in Lansing in order to meet the needs of the peophe ol our
County.
Leadership in communicating with the people of Oakland ... not always telling them what they
want to hear ... but always telling them what they need to know.
Cooperation with the County Board of Commissioners ... working together to achieve the best
results for all of Oakland County - my constituency includes all of the people of this County... each
of you were elected from a district. However, the problems we face together are not geographi ,a1 or
13
Commissioners Minutes Continued. January 23, 1975
parochial in nature...they are the problems of all of the people of this County and must be dealt with
as such.
In a spirit of genuine cooperation, I propose that the Democrat and Republican Caucuses each
select from their membership two commissioners who would meet with me on a regular and informal basis
to discuss approaches to problem solving for the people of this County. Some straight talk between us
that will hopefully result in a high degree of cooperation and results. (This is not to imply that my
door will not be open to all 27 of you. It will.)
Cooperation with local units. I will continue to meet on a regular basis with local community
leaders to discuss their problems and potential county assistance in solving those problems. Again
Straight Talk between responsible people that will lead to constructive and progressive problem solving.
Now, some straight talk about the issues that County Government must face in the immediate
future.
First, the unemployment problem. While Oakland County is one of the wealthiest, its people
are not immune from the problems that plague our chief industry, the automotive business. We in County
government and local government have the responsibility to do all that we can do to alleviate the un-
employment problem for our people. Oakland County has been able to secure approximately $17 million
in federal funds to help the unemployed. This represents nearly 30/ of the total county budget. This
administration has been doing and will continue to do all that it can to see to it that this money gets
into the hands of the individual citizens of this county immediately so that they can feed, house and
clothe their families during these difficult times.
One of this County's most urgent problems is solid waste disposal. We have had not less than
3 studies in the last 10 years done by 3 different agencies on this subject and as of this date, not
one dollar of County money has been directed toward solving this problem. This administration believes
that it is imperative that the County, in 1975, begin directing some of its federal revenue funds
toward a solid waste disposal system.
And let are state emphatically that I do not believe that land fills will solve this problem
in this County in the 1970's and beyond.
There are in existence systems that are environmentally clean - that provide energy and
resource recovery - that can meet E.P.A. standards and it seems to me that Oakland County, and its
one million people, are deserving of our best efforts to solve this most serious problem. Those systems
that are viable today will be vital tomorrow. I urge this County Board to begin work immediately towards
solving this problem.
More straight talk about another serious problem that we have in many parts of Oakland County
..the quality of roads. I might begin by saying that much of the solution of the road problem is
dependent upon adequate and sound funding.
In short, the funds currently available to Oakland County are not adequate to meet the
County's needs. This administration and this Board of Commissioners, I am sure, will cooperate and
work in every way possible to assist in securing more adequate funding for the County Road System.
I might add - and it is no secret to anyone in this room - but to clarify for the public ...
This County Executive and this County Board of Commissioners has no control of the day-to-day decision
making of the County Board of Road Commissioners. However, I am hopeful and confident that this
administration and this Board of Commissioners will have some input into the Road Commission's decision
making process. We must all work together to solve this pressing problem.
No county-wide elected official could address himself to the issues of the county without
discussing the problems of crime and law enforcement. As County Executive, the law enforcement
community, the citizens and the criminals should know that I will work together with the entire law
enforcement community to bring about the best possible results in abating crime. The local police
agencies, the prosecutor, the sheriff and this County Government should and must work together for the
safety of our citizens.
Now, allow are to turn to another area of people services for Oakland County. The Board of
Commissioners, in cooperation with this administration, recently took a major positive step by funding
the directorship of the new Emergency Medical Services system and I compliment you for that. I am sure
that we can continue to work together to brine about in Oakland County an Emergency Medical System
operation that will include the best efforts of private enterprise, local government and county
coordination. However, I must hasten to add that we should recognize the ability to fund a complete
government operated EMS program such as the City of Detroit has Is not within our local funding ability
at the present time and moreover, a 10X, government funded system, In my judgement, will not best serve
the people of the County.
Now, let me turn to the subject of county service centers. Duriny the past weeks, I have
instructed my staff to investigate and to report to me possible location, for a west county service
center. I hope to be able to report to you some progress on that subject for your consideration. I
am hopeful that you will be prepared to approve such a center in the near future.
Another subject we must address. We live in an affluent county to be sure. However, we
must be ever mindful of the problems of our senior citizens and others who live on fixed incomes.
Property taxes in Oakland County have continued to rise as the value of property increases. I believe
as this Board has resolved in the past that legislation to provide a wider range in assessments would
be helpful not only to our senior citizens but to the vast majority of the residents of this county.
This fair and equitable approach to slowing down the constant rise in assessments should be pursued.
We can do no less.
Now, allow are to turn for just a moment to the very positive note of the County's finanical
14 Commissioners Minutes Continued. January 23, 1975
condition. Oakland County i5 indeed fortunate through the prudence of its elected and appointed
officials and its substantial tax base to have an outstanding financial condition. This County has
not had to turn to deficit financing and as long as I am County Executive, it will not and we will
not raise tax rates in order to avoid deficit spending.
With respect to the future of Oakland County in terms of population growth and planning, we
have been nationally recognized for our "partners in planning" program and I believe the citizens of
this County can take justifiable pride in residing in a county rich in natural resources and natural
beauty and having a rare combination of urban, suburban, agricultural and recreational facilities.
This we must maintain and improve upon. And it will take the constant vigilence of all of us lo
accomplish this goal.
George Washington, on April 30, 1789, closed his first inaugural address with these remarks.
I believe they are appropriate for this occasion. He said: "Having thus imparted to you my scut irotnils
as they have been awakened by the occasion which brings us together, I shall take my present leave: but
not without resorting once more to the Benign Parent of the human race in humble supplication that Ninco
He has been pleased to favor the American People with opportunities for deliberating in perle(I
tranquility, and dispositions for deciding with unparalled unanimity on a form of government lor the
security of their union and the advancement of their happiness. So his divine blessing may be equally
conspicuous in the enlarged views, the temperate consultations and the wise measures on which the success
of this government must depend."
In closing, I would like to thank you for this opportunity to appear before you and bring to
you my observations and suggestions dealing with some but not all of the problems and opportunities
that face us - the elected officials of Oakland County. I have come to you today with some straight
talk about our future. The people of this county deserve straight talk from all of us and this
administration will give them no less.

WHEREAS for the period of January 9, 1975 to February 9, 1976, Title VI of C.E.T.A, has made

WHEREAS a review of the County's Personnel needs which can be filled by C.E.T.A. applicants
within the C.E.T.A. paid maximum salary of $10,000 plus fringe benefits has led to the belief that the

the County unmet personnel needs;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the County of Oakland create the positions shown on the
attached sheets for the period from January 9, 1975 to February 9, 1976 with the understanding that

remedy. Said decision shall be forwarded in writing to both the aggrieved party and the training/
employing agency along with a description of next steps in the CETA appeals process. The aggrieved

by writing to the Assistant Regional Director of Manpower (ARDM), Chicago, Illinois.

his complaint in United States District Court.

of the grievance procedure shall be considered settled on the basis of the last decision except as
provided for in step number 4.

IN RE RATIFICATION OF 7 SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN COUNTIES' RESOLUTION REGARDING MAINTENANCE OF
SEPARATION OF COURT AND BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS POWERS
• To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the wisdom of the concept of separ -,tion of powers has stood the test of time
and public acceptance, recognizing as it does that a system of checks and balances is essential
in a democratic society; and
WHEREAS we approach the Bi-Centennial of this concept at a time when it is under attack
by the courts of Michigan who assert that they have "Inherent Power' over the Executive and Legislative
branches of government; and
WHEREAS the people of the State of Michigan have constitutionally mandated that the lurid inn
and responsibility for providing county government services lies solely with County Boards of Commis-
sioners who are the elected representatives of the people; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Supreme Court in the case of Circuit Judge Mahinski - v - Livingston
County Board of Commissioners propounded the doctrine of the courts "Inherent Power" to appropriate
funds without the approval or involvement of the County Board of Coqmissioners; and
WHEREAS this decision has blurred if not destroyed the separation of power doctrine thus
ensuring that grave and far reaching personnel, financial and labor relations problems will beset
County Government to the detriment of the public taxpayer; and
WHEREAS the power to spend has until this decision been linked to the power to tax thus
ensuring public accountability of Elected Officials.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Counties of Livingstoo, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland,
St. Clair, Washtenaw and Wayne as follows:
I. That Legislation restoring to County Boards of Commissioners the authority to bargain
and negotiate with all county employees, including court personnel, be enacted by the State
Legislature forthwith,
2. That the Legislature submit a Constitutional amendment to the people of the State of
Michigan at the earliest possible time to limit the authority of the courts to order Legislative
bodies to appropriate public funds under threat of imprisonment or other court sanctions.
Mr. Chairman, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 20, 1975
Mr. Bernard F. Lennon presented the Democratic Caucus Minority Report on the Direction of
County Government for the Year 1975.
Mr. Chairman
Fellow Cumnissioners
Ladies and Gentlemen
tn the past two years we have heard much talk but seen little action on the problems of the
people ot Oakland County. The only new programs initiated have been the ones that have been federally
funded. Therefore, the Democrats on the Board of Commissioners hereby ask that immediate action be
taken on the following programs:
Oakland County is suffering one of its highest rates of unemployment in many years which is
principally due to the concentration of employment in the auto industry. We propose that the economic
coordinator in the Planning Department be reactivated to take positive and aggressive action to promote
and encourage diversified industry to locate in Oakland County.
Recognizing the fact that solid waste disposal has become an eatremely crucial problc in
Oakland County, and further recognizing that many governmental units do not have the resources to
implement their own solid waste programs, we urge that the County take a leadership role in coordinating
efforts 01 those units of government who wish to join in a united effort to solve the problems and
adopt a program that would call for a reduction and disposal of solid waste either hy a recycling,
incineration or energy conservation process or by any combination of such orocesses thereby eliminal lug
pollution and diminishing the requirement for landfill needs.
Because of the shortage of Oakland County parks in South Oakland i;ounty, we urge that the
Board of f,ommissioners take aggressive action in working with the Parks and Recreation Commission in
the development of a Red Run County Park.
We urge permissive legislation for those counties operating ender Public Act 139 to in-
corporate the functions of the Road Commission under the jurisdiction of the Board of Commissioners.
Also, we demand the restructuring of the weight and gas tax formula to insere Oakland County's fair
share of the revenues derived from these taxes. We also urge that SEMTA gle.rantee public transporta-
tion to Oakland County residents at least equivalent to the portion of our taxes paid.
The Democratic Caucus is prepared to work with the Prosecutor, Courts and the Sheriff for
the implementation of more stringent law enforcement in Oakland County. We demand that the Judges
and correction officials in this County and State take off the kid gloves and treat the criminals
with firmness under the law.
On the decentralization of County services, service centers in the southern and western
parts of the County are a necessity. The aged, the poor and the young have little use for a County
Service Center that is almost inaccessible and far removed from the majority of people who use it
most. We urge that in 1975 rented space be acquired in the western portion of the Courtly and in 1976
facilities be constructed for a southern service center on County-owned land.
In keeping with our goal to streamline County government, we urge the abolishment of the
Drain Ccmmissioners office and the merger of all the facilities of that office into ile Department
of Public Works. the Department of Peblic Works, after the merger, should he headvd by an appointed
Public Works Director, a professional, appninted by the Board of County Conmissloners. We ask this
Board to go on record in support of an amendment to Public Act 170 that will make opt boo.t1 the appuiei-
ment of eublic Works Director.
We recommend that the Board of Commissioners immediately begin a study of all County boards
and commissions to determine if their functions can be better performed by the Board of Commissioners,
thereby being more responsive to the needs of the people.
We also ask the County Executive to use the office of minority affairs to implement the
spirit as well as the letter of the law of the various resolutions pertaining to affirmative action
in personnel practices in Oakland County government.
One other area which greatly concerns us is our senior citizens. In President Ford's budget
message he eliminated $7.5 million For senior citizens programs. $50,000 that was coming into Oakland
County will now be lost. The void must he filled. This Board must be prepared to supplement our
senior citizen programs. We will not tolerate any cutting back on senior citizens programs.
Recognizing that delinquency among the youth of Oakland County is a problem which must he
dealt with, we urge the Board of Commissioners to aid and assist progressive programs whose main
objectives are to prevent delinquency among our youth before it occurs.
The Democratic Caucus is prepared to work with all members on the Board of Commissioners,
but today go on record as solidly united for the best interests of the citizens of Oakland County.
Thank you.

This agency has experienced a tremendous increase in requests for services

PROPOSAL TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
FOR THE
1976 81-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION .
Background:
Oakland County is recognized throughout the region for its rapid growth, progressive
institutions, enlightened citizenry and, in the field of culture, its great variety of art exhibits,
lectures, concerts and classes in the fine and performing arts. Individually, many of these at tract-
ions have wide appeal, for example, the Meadowbrook festivals, Cranbrook Institutions, Pine Knob
Music Theater and various local art and cultural activities.
However, these existing activities continue to struggle for survival, rather than expanding
to keep pace with growing demand. Money -- or lack of it -- is at the root of some of these problems.
Equally important, however, although less tangible, is the absence of official recognition, public
awareness and county-wide organization and endorsement of cultural activities.
Proposal:
The 1976 Si-Centennial celebration gives the Board of Commissioners a unique opportunity to
create a County Cultural Council. The result of a successful Si-Centennial program year will be the
recognition of Oakland County as the cultural center of the region. In addition, the Council will
have taken an important step toward a successful future.
The Council would be formed by an appropriate resolution adopted by the Board of Commissioners.
The Chairman of the Board would appoint, with the consent of the Commission, A 15 member Council.
Represented on this Council would be delegates from existing art and cultural organizations, schools.
private industry and individual citizens.
Initially, the Council's activities will be centered around the promoting of cultural
activities in the county during the Si-Centennial Celebration. Future projects to be considered by
the Council might includeefforts to obtain funding under the Federal Endowment of the Arts and Michigan
State Council of the Arts programs; the use of public facilities and college campuses as meeting
places for art and other cultural associations; and the use of the County buildings as art galleries
to brighten the Service Center as well as provide a showcase for the talents of county residents.
Examples of short term goals include a calendar of events, artist registry, greater utilization of
the staff personnel at Oakland University, and open communication lines with County cooperation.
Another result of the Council's success would be the increased attendance at existing
cultural events and, at the same time, increased funding for these es'ents. In addition, increased
communication among those sharing mutual problems and experiences will eliminate many program failures
and increase constructive and creative thinking.
Financial Considerations:
Upon the formation of the Council, it is recommended that a present County staff person be
assigned on a part-time basis to assist the Council in preparation of the meeting agenda, materials,
and in the planning of programs.
Projected Budget for One Year: 1974 - 1975
I. Salary of part-time assistant $7,000.00
2. Miscellaneous office expenses $6,000.00

Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 20, 1975
Conclusion-
With a minimal expenditure of funds, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners can create
a permanent memento of the 1976 81-Centennial celebration. The results of the program will affect
not only those concerned with cultural activities but, in addition, business enterprises whose
employees seek a better life style and the tourist industry so vital to the economy of Oakland County.

Patrick M. Nowak, Chairman
OAKLAND COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF FACILITIES AND OPERATIONS - ENGINEERING DIVISION
SOCIAL SERVICES BUILDING RENOVATIONS - EXTRA FUNDS REQUEST
PROJECT 70-12 February 14, 1975
Architectural Contract
The Architectural Contract for this project provided that the fee would be 7 percent of the
construction cost up to $1,000,000 and then at the rate of $70 per $1,000 or fraction thereof of con-
struction cost. The final construction cost on work handled by the Architect amounted to $1,286,492.17.
The fee based on this construction cost is $90,090. Also, the Contract allows for certain reimbursable
expenses which totalled $24,889.23 on this project (details listed on the attached sheet). The total
of these two items are:
$90,090.00 - Basic Fee
24,889.22 - Reimbursable Expenses
Total $1 14 ,979.23
The amount already paid is $92,327.23 which leaves $22,652.00 to be paid. Of ihe $22A2.00 4WR91, Ilu.
Architect has agreed to reimburse the County $4,484.58 For an error In design which resulted in extra
construction cost to the County in that amount. Thus in summary, to close this project, an additional
$18,167.42 is needed. The reason for the delay in requesting these funds is that initially the
Architect requested $34,428.15 in extra cost and it took over 12 months of negotiations to agree on
a final figure (see attached Architect's letter of January 24, 1975).
Electrical Cost
The State Social Services Department decided to use the office landscaping type furniture
in this building. It cost the County $16,034.36 to provide electrical and telephone service to the
individual furniture units and the County requested full reimbursement for this cost in 1973. In
latter part of 1974 the State notified DEO that a maximum of 55 percent or $8,818.90 would only be
paid. This left $7,215.46 to be funded.
Summary
To allow for the final closing of this project a sum of:
$18,167.42 - Architect's Fee
7,215.46 - Electrical Cost
Total $25,382.88 say $25,400.00 will be needed. This sum is included
under Other Miscellaneous Work of Item V of the September 30, 1974, Social Services Building Cost
Report (given to you at the February 6 meeting of the Planning and Building Committee).

OAKLAND COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF FACILITIES AND OPERATIONS - ENGINEERING DIVISION
SOCIAL SERVICES BUILDING RENOVATIONS - EXTRA FUNDS REQUEST
PROJECT 70-12 February 14, 1975
Architectural Contract
The Architectural Contract for this project provided that the fee would be 7 percent of
the construction cost up to $1,000,000 and then at the rate of $70 per SI,000 or fraction thereof
of construction cost. The final construction cost on work handled by the Architect amounted to
$1,286,492.17. The fee based on this construction cost is $90,090. Also, the Contract allows for
certain reimbursable expenses which totalled $24,889.23 on this project (details listed on the
attached sheet). The total of these two items are:
$90,090.00 - Basic Fee
24 889.23 - Reimbursable Expenses
Total $114,979.23
The amount already paid is 592,327.23 which leaves $22,652.00 to be paid. Of the $22,652.00
owed, the Architect has agreed to reimburse the County $4,484.58 for an error in design which resulted
in extra construction cost to the County in that amount. Thus in summary, to close this project, an
additional $18,167.42 is needed. The reason for the delay in requesting these funds is that initially
the Architect requested $34,428.15 in extra cost and it took over 12 months of negotiations to agree
on a final figure (see attached Architect's letter of January 24, 1975).
Electrical Cost
The State Social Services Department decided to use the office landscaping type furniture
in this building. It cost the County $16,034.36 to provide electrical and telephone service to the
individual furniture units and the County requested full reimbursement for this cost in 1973. In
latter part of 1974 the State notified DFO that a maximum of 55 percent or $8,818.90 would only be
paid. This left $7,215.46 to be funded.
Summary
To allow for the final closing of this project a sum of:
$18,167.42 - Architect's Fee
7,215.46 - Electrical Cost
TOTAL 25,382.88 say $25,400.00 will be needed. This sum is included
under Other Miscellaneous Work of Item V of the September 30, 1974, Social Service Building Cost
Report (given to you at the February 6 meeting of the Planning and Building Committee).

INTRODUCTION
The Housing and Community Development Act was signed into law by President Ford on August 22,
1974. The law was designed to consolidate many of the categorical grant programs into one block-type
grant program. It provides for the responsibility and authority to be placed with the local elected
officials as to the community needs and priorities.
The programs to be developed and implemented are extensive and shall he in conformance with
the to program purpose:
The primary objective of this program is the development of viable urban communile%, to be
achieved by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and by expanding economic
opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income. Consistent with this primary
objective, the federal assistance provided by this program is for the support of activities directed
toward the following specific objectives: --- the elimination of slums and blight and the prevention
of blighting influences and the deterioration of property and neighborhood and community facilities
of importance to the welfare of the community, principally to persons of low and moderate income;
--- the elimination of conditions detrimental to health, safety, and public welfare, through code
enforcement, demolition, interim rehabilitation assistance, and related activities; --- the conserva-
tion and expansion of the nation's housing stock in order to provide a decent home and a suitable
living environment For all persons, but principally those of low and moderate income; --.- the
expansion and improvement of the quantity and quality of community services, principally for persons
of low and moderate income, which are essential for sound community development and for the develop-
ment of viable urban communities; --- a more rational utilization of land and other natural resources
and the better arrangement of residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, and other needed
activity centers; --- the reduction of the isolation of income groups within communities and
geographical areas and the promotion of an increase in the diversity and vitality of neighborhoods
through the spatial deconcentrat ion of housing opportunities for persons of lower income and the
revitalization of deteriorating or deteriorated neighborhoods to attract persons of higher Income; and
thrt restoration and preservation of properties of special value for historic, architectural, or
esthelic reasons.
It is the intent of Congress that the federal assistance made available through this program
not he utilized to reduce substantially the amount of local financial support for community develop-
ment activities below the level of such support prior to availability of such assistance.

IN RE: ALLOCATION BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 1976
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 determing 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 Executive, herewith present their recommendations for the period
January 1, 1976 to December 31, 1976.
The sole objective of this budget Is to prepare for submission to the County Tax Allocation
Board a total picture of the County's 1976 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.
Personnel
(Increase, 2.74 million dollars). Of this amount, 887 thousand dollars represents anticipated
cost of 81 recommended new positions reduced from 196 positions requested by County departments); and
1.0 million to meet 1976 anticipated salary adjustments (approximately 4.07.).
Non-Departmental
(Increase, 3.89 million dollars). The projected increase in Non-Departmental recommendations
is largely accounted for in the following:
I. Employees' costs including Hospitalization, Life, Health and Accident Insurance, Retire-
ment and Social Security contributions account for approximately 1.54 million dollars.
2. Anticipated case load increases in the Social S ,rvices General Relief Accounts for
approximately 1.78 million dollars.
3. Continuation of the C.L.E.F1.1.S. program and computerization of other departmental
functions accounts for approximately 384 thousand dollars increase in our Data Processing Budget.
4. Continuation of the N.E.T. Program Accounts for 150 thousand dollars.
Departmental
(Increase including personnel costs, '5.4 million). For explanation on changes in respective
departmental budgets your attention is directed to those specific explanations therein set out
Revenues
It is anticipated that property taxes will finance approximately $43,935,392 of the total
budget of $65,048,482, the remainder will be derived from Miscellaneous Receipts and Federal Revenue
Sharing Funds in the amount of $2,350,000.
Federal Revenue Sharing
In keeping with 1975 Budget policy, we are recommending the allocation of $2,350,000 to
187 Commissioners Minutes Continued April 17, 1975
County operations, namely: State Institutions, Library Board, Hospitalization, Law Library, Circuit
Court (Court Appointed Attorneys), Medical Examiner, Camp Oakland, Chapter 20 & 21 Drains, and Juvenile
Maintenance. The anticipated balance of $1,000,000 is allocated to the County Building Program.
Conclusion
In the judgement of your Finance Committee, these recommendations, including the joint recom-
mendations of the Personne Practices Committee and the County Executive, represent, insofar as present
information is available, the amounts necessary to finance County operations for 1976 on a level neces-
sary to carry out the essertial responsibilities of the County of Oakland.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Finance Committce, I move the adoption of the attached
Allocation Budget in the auount of $65,048,482., necessitating a requested property tax levy of
$43,935,392 for submissior to the County Tax Allocation Board.

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 Salariesu allows a department to have a roster of "on call" employees available to
cope with emergencies. Permission must be obtained from the Personnel Division, before such funds can
be used. $97,960 was spent for Emergency Salaries in 1974. 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. $1,072,135 was spent
for this purpose in 1974 of which $731,427 was for regular overtime and $340,708 was holiday overtime
and the cost of 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 $2.00 per hour for the first year and $2.25 per hour the second year for
Summer Clerical, Hospital Aides and related summer jobs; $2.25 per hour the first year and $2.50 per
hour the second year for Summer Laborers, Ground crews, Appraiser Aides and related work. The County
pays $2.50 per hour the first year and $2.75 per hour the second year for technical jobs such as
Engineering Aides, Law Clerks and other jobs requiring substantial academic backgrounds. Placing
these funds for summer employment in the Salaries Reserve Fund allows the Personnel Committee to over-
see 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 Personnel Division to coordinate, and the Personnel 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 County Executive through his 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 2,800 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 1976 salaries of County employees.
Labor Contracts will be negotiated, comparable competitive salary structures will be analyzed, the
policies of the Federal Government and the condition of the Nation's economy will all have a con-
siderable effect on the salaries picture. The $1,666,071 recommended for this purpose at this time
Includes 4. the cost of old positions, new positions, Overtime Reserve and the remainder of the
County Executive reorganitation costs.
CHILDREN'S VILLAGE STUDENT EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM
First included in the 1975 Budget, these funds allow for the part-time employment of temporary
wards of the Oakland County Juvenile Court currently housed in Children's Village facilities. This
program provides a compensated, productive work experience for children, many of whom have never had
work responsibility, and at the same time, provides economical help for the many County departments in
the performance of a number of backlogged routine activities.
MATERNITY LEAVE RESERVE
To provide temporary relief to fill in for employees on Maternity Leave. This allows funds
to be budgeted for the payment of relief help, similar to the use of emergency salaries, without com-
mitting the funds to particular departments to allow for distribution where the funds are needed
specifically for maternity purposes.

the attached budget.
The Public Services Committee, by James W. Dunleavy, Chairman, moves the adoption of the

PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE
James W. Dunleavy, Chairman
EXPLANATORY NOTE
It is the County Executive's recommendation that the sum of $84,734 be distributed to those
units of government whose population, according to the 1970 census, were between 10,000 and 50,000.
These units of government, because of the nature of the Title VI allocation formula established by the
U.S. Department of Labor, received less than a fair share of the available funds.
In order to partially remedy this situation, it is recommended that available forfeited funds
be reallocated based on the number of unemployed (approximately $4.75 per unemployed person) as estimated
by the M.E.S.C. for December, 1974.
In addition, the sum of $16,181 is recommended for the staffing of the Oakland County Tourist
and Convention Bureau of the North Oakland Chamber of Commerce. This allocation would provide for the
hiring of an executive director at an annual salary of $8,700 and one (1) secretary at an annual salary
of approximately $7,400. The allocation would be for the time period ending February 9, 1976 which
coincides with the termination of the C.E.T.A. Title VI program.
The functions of the Tourist Bureau are outlined in the attached correspondence from the
North Oakland Chamber of Commerce.

Tourist and Convention Bureau.
Directed by its own Board cf Directors, it will be operating solely to pull together all

Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 17, 197
Oakland County resources, package them, and present them to interested, poteniial conventioneers and
tourists. We feel it important to emphasize that the establishrent of this Bureau will benefit the
total county. By generating new tourist and convention business into our county, the Bureau will be
indirectly providing new vehicles for employment and at the same time captur 7 ng the tourist and con-
vention dollar to benefit businesses county-wide, thereby enhancing their participation in payment of
tax dollars back into our local urits of government.
We also feel the promotion of Oakland County as a total community, competing for convention
revenues, will generate new interest and economic expansion into this count', hopefully creating new
business and diversification so badly needed in this time of iar3e unemployment.
It is imperative this program have the cooperation and support of all facets of the commurity.
We are pleased that other Oakland County Chambers have expressed their support of this concept and are
assisting us in conducting an inventory of all our local assets.
1 hope this additional information and the outlined objectives of this Bureau will assist
the County in providing the necessary funds to help this organization accomplish its immediate and
long-range goals.
Sincerely,
Earl A. Kreps, Executive Vice President"

REASONS FOR CHANGE
1. Skill and Occupational Classroom Training
Current estimates of allowances paid to enrollees are lower than the initial projection. Re-
allocation of the budgeted surplus will not decrease enrollment which is scheduled at 438.
2. On'The-Job Training
Initial budget was low in view of current success and the advantage of "hire first" provides
immediate employment in growth occupations within private industry. This increase will allow an
enrollment change from the original 98 positions to 349 positions.
3. Work Experience (Youth and Adult Service Programs)
Additional funding will increase year-around enrollment and expand the 1975 summer youth program.
It is anticipated that this increased funding will provide an additional 400 positions. Enrollment
under this program would then approximate 1500 positions.
4. Services to Clients (Recruitment-Testing-Counseling-Development)
Additional funds required for counseling and related activities due to expanded enrollment and
also would be utilized for the development of program services for ex-offenders.
Other-Merit System (Oakland County)
The transfer of indicated funds is made possible by the antiLipation of Title 1 funds (I .Y.
being made available around July 1, 1975. Implementation of the economic development (omponent of
Oakland County Manpower Programs would be scheduled at this time. The Oakland County Merit System
portion is scheduled for test validation and a review of affirmative action.
6. Administration (County Staff)
Additional funds are in response to expanded client enrollment and increased number of contracts
and service deliverers. Even with additional funding, administrative costs are reduced from 6.07.
to 5.7/ of the total allocation. The maximum administrative cost percentage allowable is 207. All
county programs administrative costs (including the county Manpower Department) are 14.52X

the initial allocation of the C.E.T.A. Title VI funds; and

attached budget.
The Public Services Committee, by James W. Dunleavy, Chairman, moves the adoption of the

PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE
James W. Dunleavy, Chairman"
EXPLANATORY NOTE
It is the County Executive's recommendation that the sum of $84,734 be distributed to those
units of government whose population, according to the 1970 census, were between 10,000 and 50,000.
These units of government, because of the nature of the Title VI allocation formula established by
the U.S. Department of Labor, received less than a fair share of the available funds.
In order to partially remedy this situation, ft Is recommended that available for
funds be reallocated based on the number of unemployed (approximately $4.75 per unemployed person)
as estimated by the M.E.S.C. for December, 1974.
In addition, the sum of $16,181 is recommended for the staffing of the Oakland County
Tourist and Convention Bureau of the North Oakland Chamber of Commerce. This allocation would provide
for the hiring of an executive director at an annual salary of $8,700 and one (1) secretary at an
annual salary of approximately $7,400. The allocation would be for the time period ending February 9,
1976 which coincides with the termination of the C.E.T.A. Title VI program.
The functions of the Tourist Bureau are outlined in the attached correspondence from the
North Oakland Chamber of Commerce.

Dear Mr. Chisholm:
As a follow-up to my letter of February 28, 1975, requesting participation in the C.E.T.A..
Title 6, program, I would like to provide you with additional information regarding the Clai.lanc
County Tourist and Convention Bureau.
Directed by its own board of directors, it will be operating solely to pull tce&-er
Oakland County resources, package them, and present them to interested, potential conventi:rer5 and
tourists. We feel it important to emphasize that the establishment of this Bureau will hennfit the
total county. By generating new tourist and convention business into our county, the Bureau will be
indirectly providing new vehicles for employment and at the same time capturing the louri..t and
convention dollar to benefit businesses county-wide, thereby enhan(inq their participation in payment
of tax dollars back into our local unit ,. of government.
We also feel the promotion oh Oakland County as 0 total community, competing lin ,onventinn
revenues, will generate new interest and economic expansion into this county, hopefully rrealing new
business and diversification so badly needed in this time of large unemployment.
It is imperative this program have the cooperation and support of all facets of the
community. We are pleased that other Oakland County Chambers have expressed their support of this
concept and are assisting us in conducting an inventory of all our local assets.
I hope this additional information and the outlined objectives of this Bureau will assist
the county in providing the necessary funds to help this organization accomplish its immediate and
long-range goals.
Sincerely,
Earl A. Kreps, Executive Vice President

IN RE: RESOLUTION PASSED BY COMMERCE TOWNSHIP AT THE ANNUAL MEETING HELD APRIL 5, 1975 REGARDING LOCAL
ASSESSMENT, COUNTY EQUALIZATION AND STATE EQUALIZATION PROCEDURES AS THEY RELATE TO REAL AND PERSONAL
PROPERTY TAXES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the members of this Board have received numerous complaints of tax increases; and
WHEREAS the citizens of Oakland County deserve to be treated equitably in relation to the
balance of the State of Michigan; and
WHEREAS there is common cause to seek relief from this unjust burden imposed on all taxpayers
in the County of Oakland;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners of the County of Oakland go on
record in support of the following resolution and in addition request the Civil Counsel to meet with
the Cotenerce Township attorney with respect to exploring the possibility of joining into the suit and
subsequently reporting back to the Board with recommendations for future action.
COMMERCE TOWNSHIP RESOLUTION
WHEREAS the citizens of the Township of Commerce, as well as other Townships, Cities and
Villages throughout the state, are suffering from the effects of a great economic depression, which,
although national in scope, has had particular impact upon the State of Michigan; and
wHEREAC the result has been widespread unemployment and reduction in personal and corporate
income, while, at the same time our economy has reeled under the impact of an ever increasing inflation-
ary spiral, which has most severely affected persons with low and/or fixed incomes; and
243
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 22, 1975
WHEREAS Robert H. Long, Supervisor of the Township of Commerce, has attempted by every mean.,
at his disposal to convince the State legislature of current inequities in ad valorem taxation upon
the citizens of the Township of Commerce and other communities in Oakland County, to the point that
the loss of homes, farms and business is a grim but real prospect; and
WHEREAS his efforts in this regard, in testimony before the house taxation committee has ,en
to no avail; and
WHEREAS this inequitable and unjust taxation upon real and personal property has been
accomplished within the apparent guidelines of Article 9, Section 3, of the State Constitution, bui .r
equally apparent violation of the Rights of due process and equal protection afforded by the constitut-
ion of the United States by forcing local and county assessors, through a state equalization technique.
to assess real property at a full fifty percent of fair market value; and
WHEREAS our local assessor is powerless to prevent the imposition of this inequitable and
unjust burden imposed upon the owners of real and personal property within the Township, because any
effort by him to hold levels of assessment at more realistic levels is prevented by the arbitrary
imposition, by the State, of an equalization factor; and
WHEREAS the more efficient and honest a county has been, historically, in efficiently
assembling and analyzing tax data for the purpose of assessing property for ad valorem taxes, the
greater the injustice to the residents of local units of government within such county, as a result
of the arbitrary imposition of the State equalization factor; and
WHEREAS Oakland County now and historically has maintained the most detailed and accurate
records with which to analyze Real Property taxation, with the result that real property taxes
Oakland County are disproportionately high and the residents thereof have been the subjects of
discriminatory and confiscatory taxation and resulting economic ruin; and
WHEREAS the greater relief has gone to the least efficient and most irresponsible units of
County Government, some of which, upon reliable information, are still taxing properties in the area
of 25% of fair market value;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the citizens of the Township of Commerce support the
position of the Supervisor and the Township Board and do hereby direct the Township Board to take
prompt steps, separately or in concert with other communities similarly affected, to initiate a
lawsuit, and/or by initiative petition directed to the State Legislature, attempt to force relief
from the oppressive, unjust and arbitrary taxation upon Real Property, and to achieve more equitable
distribution of taxation throughout the State of the financial burden of conducting State government.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution, together with appeals for the ,,miport
of the same, be directed to every member of the House and Senate of the State of Michigan, to every
member of the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Oakland, to the Governor, the State fax
Commission, the Oakland County Equalization Director, to every local unit of government in the County
of Oakland, including any and all school districts and the Michigan Townships Assocation.

PUBLIC SERVICFS COMMITTEE
James W. Dunleavy, Chairman
EXPLANATORY NOTES
The following two proposals are submitted by non-profit agencies and represent linkages to
the Manpower system in the two areas of intake and counseling. The total amount of funds Inc li e ),-.
$22,313 for BAMA (Black American Motivation Association) and $17,127 for the Jewish Vocational 5(2n/he
for a total of $38,440.
Black American Motivation Association (BAMA)
The BAMA organization represents a group of volunteer professionals from the Pontiac area
whose primary objective is to serve youth between the ages of 13 and 25, with emphasis on youths 13
to 18. The majority of these youth are either high school drop-outs or ex-offenders.
The program has a two pronged thrust: (1) for youth referred from Probate Court - Juvenile
Division for rehabilitation, and (2) for youth who live in the community neighboring Bagley Elementary
School, Bethune Elementary School, and Jefferson Junior High, who are in need of school motivation
activities or recreational and cultural activities to constructively utilize leisure time. This
category of programs would be aimed at preventing juvenile delinquency.
The type of services provided for the youth will include counseling, recreation and job
referral to both OJT and classroom training in the CETA system. BAMA has received the approval from
the Pontiac School System, Pontiac Police Department and the Oakland County Youth Assistance Depart-
ment.
Jewish Vocational Service
The Jewish Vocational Service will provide additional intake and counseling for CETA
applicants with specific expertise in both vocational counseling and assessment for the disadvantaged.
A total of 10 enrollees will be served in terms of initial interviews and entrance into CETA services
during the next 39 week period ending on February 9, 1976.
The addition of a Vocational Counselor to the staff of the Jewish Vocational Service South-
field branch office would allow the agency to assist newly unemployed people, who qualify under CETA
Title I, to redirect their vocational efforts to areas where employment is possible. In addition,
many unemployed people are seeking work for the first time and require counseling so as to develop
appropriate methods for job hunting. The counseling would be directed towards helping this client
group select appropriate vocational and/or educational goals. Supportive counseling to help them
meet their objectives will also be provided.
TOTAL
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 22, 1975 254
Availability of this new program would be publicized in area newspapers and through direct
contact with other manpower agencies, social service agencies, and other appropriate resources. Cliert
recruitment efforts will be focused on those with low income or with limited English speaking ability
as well as Viet Nam Era Veterans.
In addition to the vocational and educational opportunities provided by CETA through the
Oakland County Manpower Department, the clients will benefit from the job listings and educational
resources normally used by the Jewish Vocational Service and Community Workshop. The counselor engaged
in this program will be supervised by our regular counseling supervisor and will be provided testing
and consultation services by our vocational psychologist.

IN RE: RESOLUTION PASSED BY COMMERCE TOWNSHIP AT THE ANNUAL MEETING HELD APRIL 5, 1975 REGARDING LOCAL
ASSESSMENT, COUNTY EQUALIZATION AND STATE EQUALIZATION PROCEDURES AS THEY RELATE TO REAL AND PERSONAL
PROPERTY TAXES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the members of this Board have received numerous complaints of tax increases; and
WHEREAS the citizens of Oakland County deserve to be treated equitably in relation to the
balance of the State of Michigan; and
WHEREAS there is common cause to seek relief from this unjust burden imposed on all tax-
payers in the County of Oakland;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners of the County of Oakland go
on record in support of the following resolution and in addition request the Civil Counsel to meet
with the Commerce Township attorney with respect to exploring the possibility of joining into the
suit and subsequently reporting back to the Board with recommendations for future action.
COMMERCE TOWNSHIP RESOLUTION
WHEREAS the citizens of the Township of Commerce, as well as other Townships, Cities and
Villages throughout the state, are suffering from the effects of a great economic depression, which,
although national in scope, has had particular impact upon the State of Michigan; and
WHEREAS the result has been widespread unemployment and reduction in personal and corporate
income, while, at the same time our economy has reeled under the impact of an ever increasing in-
flationary spiral, which has most severely affected persons with low and/or fixed incomes; and
WHEREAS Robert H. Long, Supervisor of the Township of Commerce, has attempted by every means
•t his disoosal to,monce the State legislature of current inequities in ad valorem taxation upon
the t itizens of the Township of Conlmrco and other communities In Oakland County, to the point that
the Insi of homes, farms and buslnesses is a grim but real prospect; and
WHEREAS his efforts in this regard, in testimony before the house taxation committee has
been to nO avail; and
WHEREAS this inequitable and unjust taxation upon real and personal property has been
accomplished within the apparent guidelines of Article 9, Section 3, of the State Constitution, but
in equally apparent violation of the Rights of due process and equal protection afforded by the
constitution of the United States by forcing local and county assessors, through a state equalization
technique, to assess real property at a full fifty percent of fair market value; and
WHEREAS our local assessor is powerless to prevent the imposition of this inequitable and
unjust burden imposed upon the owners of real and personal property within the Township, because any
effort by him to hold levels of assessment at more realistic levels is prevented by the arbitrary
hnposition, by the State, of an equalization factor; and
WHEREAS the more efficient and honest a county has been, historically, in efficiently
assembling and analyzing tax data for the purpose of assessing property for ad valorem taxes, the
greater the injustice to the residents of local units of government within such county, as a result
of the arbitrary imposition of the State equalization factor; and
WHEREAS Oakland County now and historically has maintained the most detailed and accurate
records with which to analyze Real Property taxation, with the result that real property taxes ;n
Oakland County are disproportionately high and the residents thereof have been the subjects of
arbitrary, discriminatory and confiscatory taxation and resulting economic ruin; and
WHEREAS the greater relief has gone to the least efficient and most irresponsible
of County Government, some of which, upon reliable information, are still taxing properties 7-
area of 257 of fair market value.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the citizens of the Township of Commerce support the
position of the Supervisor and the Township Board and do hereby direct the Township Board to take
prompt steps, separately or in concert with other communities similarly affected, to initiate a
lawsuit, and/or by initative petition directed to the State Legislature, attempt to force relief
from the oppressive, unjust and arbitrary taxation upon Real Property, and to achieve more equitable
distribution of taxation throughout the State of the financial burden of conducting State government.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution, together with appeals for the support
of the same, be directed to every member of the House and Senate of the State of Michigan, to every
member of the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Oakland, to the Governor, the State Tax
Commission, the Oakland County Equalization Director, to every local unit of government in the County

the County Board of Commissioners, together with an ordinance or resolution approved by the Oakland
County Board of Public Works, providing for the issuance of bonds by the county as hereinafter pro-
vided, In an aggregate principal sum not exceeding the amount of the capital cost as hereinafter

2. The said project is designed for, and shall be used for, the collection and transportation
of sanitary sewage only. Said project may be divided into sections by the DPW for purposes of con-
struction contracts.
3. Said project, being an extension of that part of the Evergreen Sewage Disposal System
heretofore constructed, and being a part of the ultimate county system to serve the Evergreen Sewage
Disposal District, as enlarged, the provisions of paragraphs 3 through 5 and 11 through 18 of the

Commissioners Minutes Continued. June 5, 1975 299
the project, the board shall notify the township, by written communication addressed to its treasurer,
of any revisions In said Revised Exhibit "C" and of the schedule of payments of the principal of and
interest on the county bonds, and of the paying agent fees and financing charges with respect thereto,
and the amount of such payments, fees and charges to be paid by said township. Said township hereby
covenants and agrees, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the due date of any principal of or
Interest on any such bonds, to remit to the board sufficient funds to meet said payments in full and
said fees and charges applicable thereto. The obligation herein expressed shalt 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 the township should pay the project cost, or any portion thereof, or funds
shall be received by grant or otherwise to apply against the cost of the project, prior to the issuance
of bonds, then the obligation of the township shall be adjusted accordingly. If the township shall
fail to make any of such payments when due, the amount thereof shall be subject to a penalty of one-
half of one percent (1/2 of I%) for each month or fraction thereof that the same remains unpaid after
the due date. The township 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 some calendar year with all future
due interest coupons attached thereto.
6, After completion of the project and payment of all costs thereof, any surplus reamining
Fran: the sale of the bonds therefor shall be used to purchase such bonds on the open market and in
such event the contract obligation of the township in respect to the project shall be reduced by the
principal amount of bonds so purchased, said reduction to be applied as to year, in accordance with
the year of the maturity of the bonds so purchased. Any bonds so purchased shall be cancelled. As
an alternative, said surplus may be used at the request of the township and upon approval by the Board
of Commissioners of Oakland County to Improve, enlarge or extend the System in the township. If the
proceeds of the bonds issued to finance the project, are for any reason insufficient to complete the
project In accordance with the plans and specifications therefor, the board shall submit to the Board
of Commissioners a resolution providing for the issuance of additional county bonds in an amount
necessary to provide funds to complete the project, in which event the duties and obligations of
the board and the township as expressed and set forth in this agreement shall be applicable to such
additional bonds as well as the original bonds issued, it being at all times fully recognized and
agreed that the payments to be made by the township, in the manner specified in paragraph 5 of this
agreement, shall be based upon the ultimate cost of the project. In lieu of the issuance of such
additional bonds, any other method may be agreed upon by the county and the township to provide the
necessary funds to complete the project.
7. This agreement is contingent upon the county issuing its bonds as set forth in paragraph
5 of this agreement, to defray the estimated cost of the project, or of that part thereof not to be
paid from other funds as provided therein.
8. The township does hereby pledge its full faith and credit for the prompt payment of
the aforesaid obligations and shall each year levy a tax in an amount which taking into consideration
estimated delinquencies in tax collections, will be sufficient for the prompt payment of any amount
falling due before the time of the following year's tax collection, unless at the time of making such
annual levy thereshall be cash on hand (as provided for in paragraph (2), Section 12, of Act No. 185
of the Public Acts of 1957, as amended) earmarked for the payment of the current obligations for
which the tax levy is to be made, in which case the annual tax levy may be reduced by that amount.
Funds for which credit may be so taken, may be raised in the manner provided in paragraph (2),
Section 12, of said Act No. 185 of the Public Acts of 1957, as now existing or hereafter amended.
9. The county shall issue its negotiable bonds to defray the capital cost of the project,
which bonds shall be secured primarily by the full faith and credit pledge of the township under this
agreement, and secondarily, if approved by a three-fifths (3/5ths) majority of the members elect of
the Board of Commissioners, by the full faith and credit of the County of Oakland. Said bonds shall
be issued pursuant to the provisions of said act and the applicable general statutes of the state
where not in conflict with said act.
10. The provisions of this agreement shall not be modified or terminated so as to impair
the security of any bonds issued by the county upon the full faith and credit pledges of the town-
ship. It is hereby declared that the terms of this agreement insofar as they pertain to the security
of any such bonds, shall be deemed to be for the benefit of the holders of said bonds.
II. The township consents to the use by the county of the public streets, alleys, lands
and rights-of-way In the township for the purpose of constructing, operating and maintaining the
Bloomfield Township Trunk Arms - Stage Two and Stage Three and of any improvements, enlargements and
extensions thereto. The township reaffirms its covenant and warrant that all sanitary sewage origi-
nating therein shall be delivered only to the Evergreen Sewage Disposal System, including extensions
thereto, for transportation therein and ultimate disposal. Lands (other than highways) owned by or
under the jurisdiction of the township or the county, located within the Evergreen Sewage Disposal
District, shall be liable, if sanitary sewage emanates therefrom, to the same extent as privately
owned lands, to pay the charges for sewage disposal services with respect thereto. Upon completion
of said Bloomfield Township Trunk Arms - Stage Two and Stage Three, the county does hereby lease
the same to the township to operate and maintain upon the following terms and conditions:
(a) The Bloomfield Township Trunk Arms - Stage Two and Stage Three shall be used only to
serve areas within the township.
(b) The township shall maintain said Bloomfield Township Trunk Arms - Stage Two and Stage

mulgated from time to time by the Oakland County Board of Public Works.
(d) The township shall make and collect from the individual users of the Bloomfielc -ow--

township may make and collect such charges to individual users as shall be necessary to pay the

purposes as are deemed desirable. The township shall enforce prompt payment of all such charges as
the same shall become due.

and Stage Three upon the terms and conditions herein set forth.
12. The Agreement dated as of March 1, 1974, between the township and the county pertaining
to the construction of Stage Two and payment of the cost thereof in cash by the township is hereby
cancelled and annulled.
13. This agreement shall become effective upon being approved by the Township Board of the
Township of Bloomfield and by the Board of Public Works and Board of Commissioners of Oakland County
and properly executed by the officers of the township and of the Board of Public Works. This agree-
ment shall terminate when the Base Agreement terminates provided all principal, interest and bond

delivered by their respective duly authorized officers, all as of the day and year first above

Fat: ilitated by a physician so trained as to command the respect of his colleagues, governing boards,

IN RE: APPROPRIATION FOR BI-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION - PRELIMINARY PLANNING
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County, one of the most progressive and rapidly growing counties in the
nation, now approaching one million inhabitants, desires to properly participate in our country's
Bi-Centennial celebration; and
WHEREAS Oakland County recognizes its responsibility to not only develop and launch its
own Bi-Centennial observances but also to provide leadership, assistance and coordination to all
government, industry and private sectors to assure an outstanding county-wide celebration; and
WHEREAS the Bi-Centennial Commission desires in connection with its planning for the county's
own observance and celebration to place emphasis in three major areas to develop a creative program
for consideration by the Board:
(a) The First is a Heritage project to preserve a building or site of historical signif-
icance within the county. Currently these sites are being reviewed by the Projects Committee of
the Commission for recommendation and consideration of the Commission and Board. It is hoped that
"said money" support for funding may be by the use of Community Development Funds, by assistance
from the Parks and Recreation Commission, or by whatever other means believed appropriate by the
Board.
(b) The Second is support and participation to the extent appropriate to participate in
the Issues Forum, a program being planned on a national scale to relate the issues of the day to
those earlier issues which were resolved to create this great republic.
(c) The Third is a Historical Pageant on a self-sustaining basis for the summer of 1976
to be staged in the Pontiac Metropolitan Stadium, utilizing the resources and voluntary participation
of every community in the County willing to participate. Related to this is a series of events for
scheduling throughout the end of the year, 1975 and through 1976, currently being planned for pre-
sentation to the Commission and the Board by the Special Events Committee of the Bi-Centennial
Commission.
WHEREAS the Bi-Centennial Commission has expressed its desire that if possible all
historical projects requiring "seed money" be supported by other than direct funding and that all
special events scheduled be self-supporting although funds may be required to be advanced initially
with the understanding that they be recovered from receipts.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that in connection with the preliminary planning for the
third segment of the Oakland County Bi-Centennial Program under consideration, that's the Pageant
in the Pontiac Metropolitan Stadium, that because of the critical timing involved and the necessity
for a creative and successful program, that a qualified individual be engaged to produce, write,
direct and coordinate this special event.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the sum of $30,000 be appropriated as an advance fund for the
proposed Bi-Centennial Pageant to contract with such an individual and that the net proceeds of the
Pageant after expenses and allocation of shares to participating communities be returned to the
County.
The Oakland County Bi -Centennial Commission, by Robert W. Page, Chairman, moves the
adoption of the foregoing resolution.

IN RE: POLICY REGARDING POLYGRAPH EXAMINATIONS
1-0 the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
r. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS it has become the policy of the Oakland County Sheriff's Department to screen and
tarn down job applicants on the basis of polygraph and psychological testing; and
WHEREAS that testing has included such vague, subjective, and judgemental factors ai
sexual deviation, violent behavior, and the ability to hold up under stress; and
WHEREAS such subjective factors seem clearly to be in conflict with constitutional
guarantees against unwarranted invasion of privacy; and
WHEREAS the questions asked in such tests have not been formulated by the Personnel
Department and appear to vary depending on the individual who is subjected to the test; and
WHEREAS certain individuals have been denied employment by the Sheriff's Department because
they failed such tests; and
WHEREAS in at least one case those vague, subjective, and judgemental factors were used
to deny employment of a woman; and
WHEREAS the Sheriff's Department admittedly has never hired a female patrol officer desPite
their employment by many other police departments; and
WHEREAS the Sheriff's Department has also never hired a black patrol officer; and
WHEREAS the clear and distinct danger exists that such subjective polygraph and psychologize)
tests may be discriminatory towards women, Blacks, and other minority groups.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that this Board of Commissioners order the Sheriff's Depart-
ment to cease and desist from the use of the polygraph for any other purpose than determination of
past criminal activity, and no further polygraph questions relating to sexual deviation, violent
behavior and the ability to hold up under stress be undertaken until and unless guidelines can be
structured that would limit such investigation within parameters acceptable to the people of Oakland
County as represented by the Board of Commissioners, and order the use of psychological testing to
cease until the Board of Commissioners can determine that such testing is not being used, or structured
in such a manner, to discriminate against women, Blacks, or any other group.

IN RE: APPROPRIATION FOR 8I-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION - PRELIMINARY PLANNING
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladles and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County. one of the more progressive and rapidly growing counties in the
nation, now approaching one million inhabitants, desires to properly participate in our country's
81-Centennial celebration; and
WHEREAS Oakland County recognizes its responsibility to not only develop and launch its own
BI-Centennial observances but also to provide leadership, assistance and coordination to all govern-
ment, Industry and private sectors to assure an outstanding county-wide celebration; and
WHEREAS the Bi-Centennial Commission desires In connection with its planning for the county's
own observance and celebration to place emphasis in three major areas to develop a creative program for
consideration by the Board:
(a) The First is a Heritage project to preserve a building or site of historical significance
within the county. Currently these sites are being reviewed by the Projects Committee of the Commis-
sion for recommendation and consideration of Commission and Board. It is hoped that "seed money"
support for funding may. be by the use of Community Development Funds, by assistance from the Parks and
Recreation Commission, or by whatever other means believed appropriate by the Board.
(b) The Second is support and participation to the extent appropriate to participate in the
Issues Forum, a program being planned on a national scale to relate the issues of the day to those
earlier Issues which were resolved to create this great republic.
(c) The Third is a Historical Pageant on a self-sustaining basis for the summer of 1976 to
he staged in the Pontiac Metropolitan Stadium, utilizing the resources and voluntary participation of
every community in the County willing to participate. Related to this is a series of events for
scheduling throughout the end of the year, 1975 and through 1976, currently being planned for present-
ation to the Commission and the Board by the Special Events Committee of the Bi-Centennial Commission.
WHEREAS the 8i-Centennial Commission has expressed its desire that if possible all historical
projects requiring "seed money" be supported by other than direct funding and that all special events
scheduled be self-supporting although funds may be required to be advanced initially with the under-
standing that they be recovered from receipts.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that in connection with the preliminary planning for the third
segment of the Oakland County 8i-Centennial program under consideration, that's the Pageant in the
Pontiac Metropolitan Stadium, that because of the critical timing involved and the necessity for a
creative and successful program, that a qualified individual be engaged to produce, write, direct and
coordinate this special event.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the sum of $30,000 be appropriated as an adva ,:e :J-c ‘or the
proposed Bi-Centennial Pageant to contract with such an individual and that the net proceeds 3F

IN RE: RECOMMENDATIONS OF SUBURBAN WATER COMMITTEE ON WATER RATES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the City of Detroit, through the Detroit Metropolitan Water Department and the
Detroit Board of Water Commissioners, has increased its water and sewer rates; and
WHEREAS the Suburban Water Committee has recommended that the Michigan State Legislature
be requested to enact legislation to correct the current inequities existing between the Detroit
Metropolitan Water Department, the Detroit Board of Water Commissioners and the City of Detroit and
the suburban customers of such system; and
WHEREAS your Planning and Building Committee concurs in the recommendations submitted by
the Suburban Water Committee.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners concurs with
the Suburban Water Committee and recommends the following legislative changes be submitted to the
Michigan Legislature for enactment during the current session:
I. The Michigan State legislature enact legislation requiring an immediate audit of the
346 Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 10, 1975
Detroit Metropolitan Water Department by an outside auditor. This audit shall cover both the aater
and sewer budgets. Further, that additional legislation be enacted requiring cities of over one
million population and owning their awn water system to be audited annually by an outside auditor.
Provision shall be made in both pieces of legislation that when these audits are performed, the OMWD
be required to follow the accounting procedures recognized by the State of Michigan.
2. The Legislature enact legislation revising both the makeup requirements and appointment
procedures of the Water Board so that it may become more truly representative of all water customers.
This could be accomplished by enlarging the current Board to include equal numbers of Detroit and non-
Detroit members. Regardless of the formula used, suburban communities must have a greater voice in
who shall be their representatives on the Water Board than at present.
3. The Legislature enact legislation which will specify formal steps the Board of Water
Commissioners must take prior to any water or sewer rate change. These steps shall include, but are
not limited to, a public hearing or hearings. Concurrently, provisions shall be made for a formalized
appeals procedure of any Water Board rate-related decisions.
4. The Legislature enact legislation which make the OMWD subject to study by a nationally
recognized rate study firm. Purpose of this study shall be to complement the outside audit in order
to determine if (a) water and sewer rates currently in force are justified; and (b) to judge the
necessity of any proposed water or sewer rate change.
The Planning and Building Committee, by Patrick M. Nowak, Chairman, moves the adoption of the
foregoing resolution.

The attached representes the third group of on-the-fob training contracts submitted for approval.
The first group was a7nroved 5y the Board of Commissioners, Resolution Number 7075 on April 17, 1975.
The second group was approved !lay 27, 1975, by Resolution Number 7115. The following data represents
a comparison of the three groups:
GROUP 1 GROUP II TOTAL TO DATE
Number of Enrollees 34 52 155
Total Contract Costs $90,084.00 $145,131.00 $433,862.00

Training Time Average 20.4 Weeks 20.9 Weeks 21.1 Weeks
Average Weekly Enrollee Cost 129.88 133.54 131.28
Contracts to date represent 46.8% of the current O.J.T. budget of $926,731 and enrollment of participants
is 44.4% of the total program planned enrollment of 349. It is anticipated that by December 31, 1975,
all funds budgeted under Title I, FY-75, for U.J.T. will have been expended. Contracts written during
the last six months of this year will be of a shorter training period to avoid carry-over funds into
1976. It is expected that any training program which would require funding into 1976 would be contracted
under Title I, FY-76 funds. Continued success of the O.J.T. program supports the belief that direct job
placement is productive and has the cooperation of private business.

SUBJECT: Summer Youth Program
DATE: June 25, 1975
The Summer Youth Program involves $1,037,681 for 1,153 positions. The number of
hours per average work week has increased from 24 hours per student to 30 hors
thereby maximizing the potential income per enrollee. Total administration for
the program equals $57,731 or 5.6% of the total grant monies. This is a decrease
from the 6.4% administrative cost recorded last year.
To avoid delay in the hiring of staff and enrollees Title I monies are presen -_ly
being used for the summer ogram. This allows program operation which is or..re
in agreement with the summer schedules of high school students. A total of
$420,056 is presently allocated from Title I monies in addition to the summer
grant. These monies will employ 528 students from the period June 1, 1975 to
August 30, 1975. In total $1,457,737 will be allocated to summer employment
compared to $913,683 last year. This, is a 37.3% increase.
In addition to the work experience all summer students will work with vocational
counselors to identify career interests through a job development plan. SpExial
emphasis will be given to seniors who will be entering the labor market in Cos.
next semester. Specifically the opportunities for classroom training and on
job training pooitiono in private industry will he discussed with members of
Oakland County Manpower Service staff.

WHEREAS the current Federal and State approach to legislation places in the county the
position of ultimate responsibility any items not covered in Federal or State programs or a reduction

gaps and reductions without any Federal or State financial assistance to deal with its needs; and

responsibilities to the State except which duties associated with County financial functions which
means the transfer of administrative roles other than such County functions which is a substantial

IN RE: ALLOCATION OF C.E.T.A. FUNDS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the criteria to determine the C.E.T.A. allocation for the City of Pontiac was based
on false information; and
WHEREAS according to the 1970 Federal Census, the City of Pontiac has a greater population
than that used by the Department of Labor; and
WHEREAS the figures of the Michigan Employment Security Commission were incorrect in that
they presented less unemployment in the City of Pontiac than were actually unemployed; and
WHEREAS these inequities should be corrected to give the City of Pontiac its just and fair
share of the C.E.T.A. funds.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners directs the
Manpower Division of the Department of Public Services to take the necessary actions to correct the
inequities that led to the allocation of the C.E.T.A. funds to the City of Pontiac and to secure for

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMO
From: Manpower Services Department

Subject: Allocation of FY-75 Funds to Classroom Training without Payment Allowance
In order to satisfy the increased demand for skill training and serve more unemployed citizens of
Oakland County with limited funding it is recommended that a portion of FY-75 funds provide classroom
training without the payment of allowances. This provision will allow twice the number of enrollees
to be served with the remaining FY-75 unobligated monies. The legal authority to waive allowance
payments is included in Section 95.34 j-1. The following two sections include suggested classroom
training and an interpretation of the C.E.T.A. allowance waiver section.

waiver will double from 87 to 175. This is particularly
important in the LPN class which has a waiting list of
over 300 individuals.
j-iv The waiver will promote the purposes The waiver of the allowance will increase the number of

Abev7: contracts represent 58.3% of the O.J.T. -cedget for FY-1975 and the 191 enrollees represent
54.7 7i. of our participant goal. Initially it was anticipated that contracts beirg scheduled for
appeeval would be limited in training duration to unc oqly FY-1975 Funds until totally cemmitted.
Vow:wer, a more realistic approach 1.s to combino TY-:D 7 one FY-l97: funds on tht- sace contract
(Uso FY-1975 funds until December 31, 1975 and then retburse the same employer in 1976 from
FY-1976 funds). This has the approval of the Department of Labor since all funding is on a
eurlative basis. This would also simplify contracts with employers who otherwise would have
rese7ictions on the length of training due to funding limitations. On-The-Job training continues
to iave the support and cooperation of private industry and employers welcome the eoportunity to
participate in programs funded by the Federal Government.

This has been eliminated because the City has indicated to our Financial Consultant they are willing
to spread a Full year interest on the bond issue on their December, 1975 Assessment Roll. This will
then make it possible for the bonds to be due on May 1, 1976.
I would point out we have been in touch with both Mr. Smiley and Mr. Neipling in this matter
and they seem to be pleased with the new Estimated Cost.
A request has been made by Mr. Neipling (with your approval) that a revised estimate of cost
be made available to him prior to 5:00 P.M. Tuesday so he may present and discuss it at the City
Commission meeting.

sioners with precise recommendations on jail expansion, as necessary, including capital and operating

The Public Services Committee, by James W. Dunleavy, Chairman, moves the adoption of the
foregoing resolution.
PUBLIC SERVICE COMMITTEE
James W. Dunleavy, Chairman
OAKLAND COUNTY EXECUTIVE - DANIEL T. MURPHY
REPORT TO THE PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE - OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ON THE POSSIBLE NEED
FOR JAIL EXPANSION
COUNTY EXECUTIVE REPORT ON PROPOSED JAIL EXPANSION
In response to a report presented by the Oakland County Sheriff's Department to the Public
Services Committee of the Board of Commissioners in July of 1975, the County Executive directed hi
staff to investigate the reported over-crowded conditions in the jail and to outline a procedure for
identifying the type of additional prisoner facilities needed. The Executive directed that both short
term and Tong term needs be considered.
The Sheriff's Department and the State Department of Corrections were consulted during this
inquiry.
SITUATION - Resident capacity, beds - Men - 426 - Women - 44 Total -470 Trusy Camp - 60
Commissioners Minutes Continued. August 21, 1975 476
(The above figures do not include the holding tank, infirmary, or booking.)
PROBLEM - In a letter dated May 27, 1975, Mr. Robert J. Russell, Supervisor of Far_.1 ,r.,
inspections, Michigan Department of Corrections, stated:
"Records of daily counts indicate that during 1974 the normal capacity of the men's cell
area has been exceeded on 57 days and the normal capacity of the women's area has been exceeded on
6 days. Further, the total habitable capacity of the jail has been exceeded on 6 days."
Statistics and reports from both the Department of Corrections and the Sheriff's Department
indicate the present over-crowding has not yet reached crisis proportions. Both believe, however,
that the situation is serious enough to require immediate attention. The administration concurs in
that belief.
In addition to the overall jail population problem, the County Executive's staff found the
women's population problem to be unique and, in some ways, more serious than the problem regarding
male prisoners.
Women cannot earn their way to the Trusty Camp, as facilities are not available for them at
that facility. Furthermore, the exercise facilities at the jail are barely adequate for the present
population. Usually, women are allowed out of their cells for exercise only after the exercise periods
for men. Women prisoners interviewed by a member of the County Executive's staff felt this situation
to be very unfair, if not discriminatory. Many claimed they had not been let out of their cells for
days. Sheriff's Department personnel verified that, in periods of cvercrowding women prisoners suffer
the consequences more than men.
Any solution to the general population problem at the jail should include remedies for the
special problems of women.
Two other significant factors should be mentioned in defining the problem.
First the jail was designed at a time when most prisoners were actually sentenced to the
Jail; that is, they had committed crimes requiring sentences of one year or less in the county jail.
The number of felons being held for trial or transfer to other facilities was far smaller than the
number of persons sentenced to the jail. The situation has since reversed itself. The majority of
prisoners are now felons being temporarily held in, not sentenced to, the county jail. The typical
stay in the county jail for felons in seven months.
Second, there now exists a much higher incidence of prisoners in jail for drug related
offences than previously. Although state law does not prohibit transfer of these individuals to the
Trusty Camp, the present sheriff's department operation takes only limited advantage of this.
POSSIBLE ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN - As has been suggested by the County Executive in the past,
and more recently by the sheriff, two actions can immediately be undertaken to relieve over-crowding
in the short-term.
1. Full use of the Trusy Camp facility.
2. Reduction, as needed, in the number of federal prisoners held.
Transferring an additional 22 prisoners to the Trusty Camp and removing all federal prisoners
from the jail would create an additional 62 to 72 beds. With these actions, present facilities would
be adequate until the beginning of 1977.
During the one and a half years of breathing room the above actions would provide, one or
more of the following alternatives should be implemented.
I. Expansion of the Trusty Camp. A 60 bed wing could be built in six months at the camp
for less than 5I00,000 and operated for less than $200,000 a year. The camp could be operated for
15 years for approximately $3 million (no inflation factor).
2. Addition of medium risk facilities at the present jail. The present jail is a -aximue
security facility, the most expensive type to build and operate. Since come of the prisoners have
not been convicted of a crime, and others are in jail for drug related and other non-violent crimes,
it would appear that a medium security facility would be adequate for a large part of the jail
population.
3. Expansion of maximum security facilities, by 250 beds, at a cost of approximately 53.5
million.
4. Addition of low security (trusty) facilities at the jail instead of the Trusty Camp,
thereby providing a slightly higher level of security and taking advantage of jail rehabilitation
and other programs available at the jail.
Intelligent decisions on these alternatives cannot be made without a great deal more
information regarding present and expected make-up of the jail population. Proper identification
and classification of prisoners is necessary to determine the need for maximum, medium, and low
security space, and the proper mix for that space. It would be an unconscionable waste of taxpayer
money, for instance, to construct an additional maximum security wing at the jail without knowing
what percentage of the present population - let alone the predicated population - can only be held
in such a facility. Similarly, it would be folly to expand the Trusty Camp without assur.lor.es that
a sufficient number of prisoners could, and would, be transferred out of the jail to the Trii<,t i Camp.
The recent approval by the Board of Commissioners and the State LEAR office of rile jail
rehabilitation grant represents an important first step in the information gathering proce ,.%. Using
this grant, the sheriff's department should be able to provide adequate prisoner identilication and
classification information within the next several months.
RECOMMENDATIONS - The following actions should be taken immediately:
I. Full use of the Trusty Camp
2. Reduction in number of federal prisoners held, as space needs dictate.
3. Development and implementation of a better exercise program for female prisoners.
Greater use of women as trustys should also be undertaken.

4. Development of a proposal for short-term expansion of space within the jail for female
prisoners, using, if necessary, space made available by implementation of items 1 and 2 above.
5. Identificmion and classification of prisoners, using the jail rehabilitation grant,
In a manner that clearly shows the amount of maximum, medium, and low security space needed.
The following actions should be taken by the end of the year:
1. The sheriff's department and the County Executive should provide the Board of Commis-
sioners with precise recommendations on jail expansion, if necessary, including capital and operating
costs. These recommendations should take into account all factors which influence jail population,
including policies and statutes governing operation of the judicial system and actions of local police
agencies.
2. The Board of Commissioners should act on those recommendations.
Moved by Dunleavy supported by Fortino the resolution be adopted.
A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the resolution was adopted.

IN RE: C.E.T.A. CONTRACT MODIFICATION WITH THE MICHIGAN EMPLOYMENT SECURITY COMMISSION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners by Miscellaneous Resolution #6456 applied
for and was granted the designation by the U.S. Department of Labor of Prime Sponsor to administer
the provisions of Title I of the Comprehensive and Training Act of 1973; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners by Miscellaneous Resolution #6924 approved
a C.E.T.A. Title I contract award to the Michigan Employment Security Commission in the amount of
$77,848; and
WHEREAS expanding counselor caseloads and a concurrent M.E.S.C. reduction in staff will
shortly threaten the successful implementation of this contract; and
WHEREAS it is the recommendation of the Manpower staff and the M.E.S.C. that the contract
be modified to provide for additional staff.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners approve the
modi ication of the C.E.T.A. Title I M.E.S.C. contract from the present budget of $77,848 to $100,563,
an increase of $22,715, for the period ending December 31, 1975, consistent with the attached budget.
The Public Services Committee, by James W. Dunleavy, Chairman, moves the adoption of the
foregoing resolution.
PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE
James W. Dunleavy, Chairman
OAKLAND COUNTY
Inter-Departmental Memo August 5, 1975
From: Manpower Services Department
To: Public Services Committee
Subject: Modification of M.E.S.C. Contract
The present M.E.S.C. contract for Title I Fiscal Year 1975 was approved by the Board of
Commissioners through Miscellaneous Resolution 6924 on December 19, 1974. This contract provides
for two counselors at the Royal Oak and Pontiac Branches of M.E.S.C. The total annual cost of the
contract is $77,848. This includes both salaries and indirect costs to support the counseling function
for classroom training and O.J.T.
At present there are twelve classroom training projects in operation including more than
600 people. Four additional classes are scheduled in the next two months pending approval by the
Board of Commissioners. This will increase the total enrollees to 775. This equates to an average
case load of 194 enrollees per counselor plus an interviewing schedule normally equal to twice the
size of each training class. This volume of interviewing is necessary to ensure that each class starts
with an enrollment in agreement with the minimum target group objectives set forth in the Manpower Plan.
O.J.T. contracts also indicate an increase in volume with 191 enrollees and $540,638 dollars
committed to 64 firms as of July 29th.
Because of the demand and increased volume for both the O.J.T. and Classroom Training segment
of the Title 1 additional support for M.E.S.C. Branches is needed. This support will include one
interviewer and one typist for each M.E.S.C. Branch. The cost for these personnel, which includes
both salaries and indirect support costs, equals $68,144 per annum. For the period September I,
to December 31, 1975 which includes the contract modification the cost equals $22,715. The detaile:

FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT
By Mr. Wilcox
IN RE; MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #7100 - OAKLAND COUNTY FINANCIAL REPORT "ENTERPRISE FUNDS"
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and GPntlemen:
The Finance Committee has reviewed the present budgeting and financial reporting procedures
as they apply to the enterprise funds.
The Finance Committee has also reviewed the possible means of reporting the enterprise funds
on a more informative basis. The proposed (BACIS) Budget Accounting Irformation System program will
allow us capabilities of using the same budget reporting process for the enterprise funds as will be
used for the regular budgeted departments.
The Finance Committee has directed the Management and Budget Department to incorporate these
enterprise funds on the new system as quickly as possible during 1976.
Mr. Chairman, I move the acceptance of this fiscal report.

FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT

IN RE: PURCHASE OF SERVICES AGREEMENT - SOCIAL SERVICES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
In June, 1974, Oakland and Livingston Counties entered into an agreement to establish a two
county Human Service Agency to succeed the existing 0.E.0. structure.
Title 45, Chapter II, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 228, provides that the single
State Agency may provide Social Services directly or through contract with other public or private
agencies for clients eligible for service as authorized by Title IV and XX of the Social Security Act.
The Department of Social Services is the authorized single state agency for the administration
of services and has authority to accept Funds under the provisions of the above act and MCLA 400.1.
The Social Welfare Act MCLA 400.1 provides that the Department insure a full range of care
and services for families and incOvidtials receiving financial assistance as families with dependent
children or as aged, blind, or disabled persons, and, in certain instances, eligible non-recipients of
financial assistance whose service needs can be met through these statutes.
The Oakland-Livingston County Human Service Agency is the local agency set up to purchase
these services from the Departmenr of Social Services.
Allocations from Oakland County from 1971 through 1973 amounted to $276,000 under the old
0.E.O. program. They also received a refund From the Department of Social Services for $16,928,
making total income to date of 5292,328. Expenditures during this period for purchase of services,
Senior Opportunities Program and Child Care Programs amounted to $172.825, leaving a balance in The
account of $119,503. The reason for the u lus was that the (LEA. was able to charge many of its
expenditures to Federal Grants
The Agreement men: onPd ir in the amount of S;00,658 for the continued
purchase of services provided hv of Soqia Se ,vices. This amount is lower than the
balance in the accoent ;ic, that oc. addFtiona/ funds required from Oakland County.

PROGRESS REPORT
One June 16, 1975, the Department of Labor authorized the allocation, through Oakland County as Prime

county.
A meeting was held on July 17, 1575, and all participating within Oakland County were advised of their
allocation. The units were advised to notify the Manpower Division by July 31, 1575 of their intention

SUMMARY OF FUNDS ALLOCATED
There are presently three groups of Non-Profit Agencies. The first groups was funded under Title II
for 5 months during FY-75. A similar allocation for 5 months was made from Title II and Title VI
funds. The FY-76 will allow employment to continue from 7-1 -75 to 11-30-75.
The Second group of non-profit agencies was passed directly by the Board of Commissioners on 9-18-75.
The source of funding for these agencies will be Title II and Title VI FY-76 forfeited funds. The
Boys' Club, Boy Scouts and Volunteer Bureau will be funded from Title II monies for a total of $38,216.
The remaining agency will use both Title II and VI funding for a total of $8,450. The period of
funding for the second group will be from 10-1-75 to 6-30-75.
The third group of agencies has not been approved by either the Public Service Committee or the Board
of Commissioners. The source of funding will be Title VI forfeitures. This group includes four non-
profit agencies, the State Police, and the City of Northville. The city budget is retroactive covering
the period for 9-1 -75 to 12-31-75. The remaining budgets include the period from 11-1-75 to -4-30-76.
After consideration of the third group of agencies, $227,602 will remain unallocated until the audit
and evaluation of all non-profit agencies between 10-1-75 and 11-30-75. This sum is less than
sufficient funding for annual budgets for the non-profit agencies presently approved by the Board of
Commissioners.
If the third groups of non-profit agencies are approved the total annual budget allocation will be
$1,157,669. The present funds available total 963,406, including the 227,602 unallocated. This is
an indicator that the total programs approved and under consideration could operate at 83.2 percent
of current budget when annual projections are compared to the funds available.
The demand budget for non-profit agencies in Groups 1, II. and 111 equals $342,519. This amount of
funding is necessary to budget through 6-30-76. Only $227,602 remain to be allocated. This
necessitates a cutback by 33.5% or $114,917. The details are included in the following table "ANNUAL
BUDGET COMPARISONS".

PROPOSED WORDING
Section III, A — Continued
physical or mental disability properly covered by sick leave and has
exhausted annual leave accumulations and/or authorized leaves of absence
without pay.
B. The department head shall take prompt action to warn the employee of such
pending separation no less than five days prior to the effective date of
the action. Such notice shall be delivered to the employee in person or
sent by registered mail, restricted delivery, with return receipt requested,
to the employee's last known address.
C. Absence from work between the time of mailing the warning notice and the
effective date of the action of separation or the employee's return to work
shall be treated as an unauthorized leave of absence without pay. Employees
may.return to work within this five day period but subject themselves to a
disciplinary action for taking unauthorized leave. Repeated unauthorized
leaves could lead to other disciplinary actions such as suspension without
pay, demotion or dismissal.
D. Employees unable to return to work prior to the effective data of pending
separation must contact the department head prior to the date of separation
to seek authorization of a leave of absence without pay for the unauthorized
time off. Authorization of such leaves must be requested in writing and
approved prior to the effective date of the pending separation in order
to prevent separation.
NOTE: Granting of Leaves of Absence Without Pay are not mandatory on the part
of the Department Head (see Merit System Rule 13, Leaves of Absence
Without Pay).
E. Employees not intending to return or who cannot return to work may, within the
five days between the Warning Notice and the effective date of the separation,
submit their written resignation on the forms provided by the Personnel
Division thereby making the separation voluntary in the employee's record.
Records of employees not submitting a written resignation or not appearing
for work within the required time limits shall indicate "involuntary
separation because of no leave accumulations or authorized leave of absence
without pay to cover time off work".
F. Separation because of insufficient leave time to cover absence from work
will not effect the employee's entitlement to income continuation benefits
under the County's temporary disability, income protection plan for employees.

Protection Plan for Oakland County Employees" in your Merit System Rule
Book or contact the Personnel Division for a copy.)
APPENDIX B
REASON FOR CHANGE:
Incumbent public employees with or without Merit System status, do not possess
an inherent, continuing right to a Merit System position. The public good
requires that the employee be present to perform the duties required in the
delivery of service for which the position was originally authorized and funded.
The Merit System itself provides flexibility and relief for the employee in
provisions for sick leave, annual leave and leaves of absence without pay under
certain circumstances. This additional section ensures the continuation of
intended County services when an employee has exhausted the relief available
under the Merit System. It also allows an orderly process for separating
employees no longer intending to work for the County and establishes clear
cut procedures of proper notice to both the employee and the employer.
Establishment of such a policy will help to make treatment of employees in
similar circumstances more uniform County—wide.

RULE 15
SECTION III - PAY PERIODS
REASON FOR CHANCE
Current designation of the beginning of the pay period is inflexible. It
does not allow internal changes necessary to bring the County into compliance
with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Example: In order to bring
existing Hospital scheduling practices in compliance with the Act relative
to overtime payment requirements, the beginning of the pay period should be
12:01 a.m. Sunday (rather than Saturday). The only alternative is total
revamping of scheduling practices and possibly a considerable increase in
overtime costs. The change recommended would allow the County Executive to
make administrative immediate adjustments in the best interest of the
County.

Rule 22, Section II, B, 1, e and f
REASON FOR CHANGE:
Several County departments have found it necessary, by the nature of the
work, the skills available, scheduling, etc., to fill a number of their
positions by two or more people, each on a part-time basis and often each
employee working more than 520 hours and thus entitled to County fringe
benefits. Rule 22 currently places some restrictions on part-time employees
(Section II, B, 1, a, b, c and d) but does not pro-rate County benefit costs
resulting in significant increases in benefit costs over and above amounts
budgeted for such positions. In effect, such employees enjoy proportionately
greater benefits than regular full-time employees for the hours actually
worked. Pro-rating such benefit costs would bring part-time employees more
in line with the value received by other full-time County emp]oyees and
reduce such benefit costs to the amount actually budgeted.

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Sheriff's Department was granted a part-time (1/3) Second Cook position effective
January 1, 1974; and
WHEREAS the inmate population of County detention facilities has increased significantly
during 1974 and the first 10 months of 1975; and
WHEREAS the Sheriff's Department has found it necessary to use the 1/3 Second Cook position
on a full-time basis in order to reduce overtime costs, and has substantiated the need for the position
on a full-time basis; and
WHEREAS making the position full-time will reduce costs which would otherwise result from the
assigned overtime necessary to meet minimum departmental needs in the area of food preparation; and
WHEREAS the additional budgeted cost for making the position full-time from November 8 through
the remainder of 1575 is $743 and the additional 1976 budgeted cost for the position will be $5,242,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the existing 1/3 Second Cook position in the Sheriff's
Department be made a full-time position.

IN RE: COMPOSITION OF THE SOUTHEASTERN MICHIGAN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY BOARD

Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS it has been generally agreed that implementation of a comprehensive public transpor-
tation program for Southeastern Michigan requires that the composition of the SEMTA governing board be
changed; and
WHEREAS the principle of one man, one vote, has been determined to be the fairest method of
structuring public governing bodies; and
WHEREAS there is no compelling reason for this principle to be abandoned in restructuring
the SEMTA Board; and
WHEREAS because the State of Michigan will be an important participant in development and
implementation of a public transportation system in Southeastern Michigan, the State should also have
representation on the SEMTA Board.

the Michigan Legislature to pass legislation which would cause the SEMTA Board to be composed of 17
members, 14 of which will reflect the principle of one man, one vote, with an additional three members
to be appointed by the Governor of Michigan and/or SEMCOG from outside the tri-county area. The 14
members shall be distributed to each geographical unit based on the following formula: each geographi-
cal unit shall be eligible to appoint one member to the SEMTA Board for every 300,000 residents in
that unit. Based on the 1970 U.S. Census, the Board composition shall be as follows:
Detroit 5 members
Wayne (excluding Detroit) 4 members
Oakland 3 members
Macomb 2 members
Governor and/or SEMCOG 3 members
The members of the SEMTA Board shall be appointed for a set term, and the composition of the Board
shall be examined every five years and adjustment shall be made to reflect the changes in population
distribution.

IN RE: FUNDING FOR SOUTHEASTERN MICHIGAN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS there is a need to develop and fund a public transportation program for Southeastern
Michigan; and
WHEREAS there exists a clear need for road construction, improvement, and maintenance to
assure the smooth and orderly flow of both mass transit and general vehicle travel; and
WHEREAS funding is also required to replace a short-term projected $18-$20 Million annual
deficit in the General Transportation Fund which, if not replaced, would hamper the State's ability
to continue financing of ongoing and already committed state-wide local transit projects; and
WHEREAS with the enactment of the transportation bond issue, capital grant monies will be
available for numerous transportation projects such as dial-a-ride, port development, inter-city bus
routes for tourist industry, etc., throughout the state; and
WHEREAS all the counties in the state will require access to local match monies to fully
participate and obtain benefits from the state transportation bond issue; and
WHEREAS a weight tax is one of the sources of funding that can provide widely distributed
tax revenues; and
WHEREAS a clearly identified surcharge best enables the citizens to know and understand the
nature of the tax and its purpose, and, through their elected representatives, to adjust the amount of
the tax or abolish it altogether, according to financing needs; and
WHEREAS a system of rebates distributed to each of the state's 83 counties on a per capita
basis is the fairest method of distribution; and
WHEREAS the surcharge-rebate system can be established on an interim basis and easily adjusted
or abolished as more federal funds, such as the federal gasoline tax rebate now under consideration by
Congress, becomes available.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby goes on
record urging the Michigan Legislature to join local governmental units in Southeastern Michigan in
strongly urging Congress to revise the federal gasoline tax so that one cent of the four cents now
collected be rebated to the states for use in developing public transportation, and that until the
federal gasoline tax rebate revenue is available the Michigan Legislature, in lieu of a regional tax,
establish a state-wide surcharge on the existing weight tax averaging $7.50 for each vehicle and that
50 percent of the monies thus collected be used by SEMTA to develop a public transportation system in
Southeastern Michigan and that the remaining 50 percent be rebated to the state's 83 counties on a per
capita basis for such public transportation and other transportation needs as may exist, including road
improvement.

REPORT
By Mr. Nowak
IN RE: MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #7038 , EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION WITHIN DETROIT URBANIZED AREA OF MASS
TRANSIT FUNDING OBTAINABLE UNDER NATIONAL MASS TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE ACT OF 1974
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Miscellaneous Resolution #7038, adopted by this Board on April 17, 1975, the
Southeastern Michigan Transportation Authority responded with the attached letter. The letter has
been reviewed by the County Executive's Planning Division and the attached report was given by the
Planning Division to your Committee at its meeting of October 30, 1975.
The Planning and Building Committee, by Patrick M. Nowak, Chairman, moves the acceptance of
the foregoing report.
PLANNING AND BUILDING COMMITTEE
Patrick M. Nowak, Chairman
October 30, 1975
The letter indicates that Oakland County's share of Section Five funds would amount to 1.553
for fiscal 1975; 14.84% of the regional total. Using 14.84% as the basis, the county could receive
the following amounts over six years:
1975 - $ 1.553 million
1976 - $ 2.588 million
1977 - $ 3.364 million
1978 $ 4.011 million
1979 - $ 4.400 million
1980 - $ 4.658 million
The primary objective of Resolution #7038 was to establish some general parameters within
which transit development in Oakland County - the sub-region of the Detroit region can be planned for
and implemented. it is difficult to substantiate the claim that development of new transit services
and improvement of existing services within this sub-region and between the sub-region and the entire
region can be classified as development of local transit service.
The question of "need as may be demonstrated by utilization of a public transportation system"
can hardly be applied in those parts of the urbanized region that does not have a minimum acceptable
level of transit service. How can potential customers use public transit when it is not readily avail-
able to them?

Mr. Fred D. Houghten, Chairman
Oakland County Board of Commissioners
1200 North Telegraph Road
Pontiac, Michigan 48053
Dear Mr. Houghten,
Reference is made to your letter of April 21, 1975 regarding the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners adopted Resolution #7038, entitled "Equitable Distribution of Transit Fundings." The
resolution suggests that SEmTA advise the Oakland County Board of Commissioners on what is to be an
equitable distribution of such funds, based upon the federal formula which considers total urbanized
population and urbanized population density. The formula if used to determine funding distribution
would yield the following if counties were receiving funds directly from UMTA:
WAYNE OAKLAND MACOMB TOTAL
Amount: 57,604,000 51,553,000 S18,000 $10,465,000
Percent: 72.66% 14.811% 12.50% 100%
In addition to the above the Authority has programmed as a part of Fiscal Year 1976 activities a
$900,000 suburban service expansion. However, there are other factors that must be considered when
determining equities. SEMTA does not receive these Federal Transit funds based upon political
jurisdictions but rather from the perspective of a total urbanized region. SEMTA as a regional transit
agency, does not maintain the view that its primary charge is to develop a formula which establishes
an "equitable" distribution of these funds along county jurisdictions. However, in the issue of equal
distribution of federal transit funds, one could be looked at from several factors:
1. Public transportation operating within a local jurisdiction versus total transportation
operated in the region and fiscal requirements for maintaining that service
2. Total urbanized population and density in the local jurisdiction versus total urbanized
population and density within the region.
3. Direct contributions made by a local jurisdiction through public transportation as a part
of the dollar for dollar matching federal requirements and their return on same.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. November 6, 1975 609
4. Need as may be demonstrated by utilization of a public transportation system.
5. Need as demonstrated by such factors as public transportation dependency due to low
income, lack of automobiles, travel habits, etc.
Such a list of potential equity criteria is not exhaustive. However, SEMTA as a regional
agency must concern itself with equity as it related to providing and meeting public transportation needs
of the region as a whole and, within this framework, must first concern itself with the regional
perspective of public transportation needs.
At such a time when all local jurisdictions are in fact making contributions directly to the
operation of public transportation systems in order to assist in meeting the aforementioned match
requirements, this perspective may change.
Sincerely,
MaLtie J. Myers /s/
Chairwoman of the Board
Moved by Nowak supported by Moffitt the report be accepted.
A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the motion carried.

IN RE: C.E.T.A. TITLE I ON-THE-JOB TRAINING CONTRACTS (PHASE VI)
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners by Miscellaneous Resolution #6546 applied

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners approves the
award of Phase VI of C.E.T.A. Title 1 On-The-Job Training Contracts in the total amount of $347,476.00
consistent with the attached budget.
The Public Services Committee, by James W. Dunleavy, Chairman, moves the adoption of the
foregoing resolution.
PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE
James W. Dunleavy, Chairman
OAKLAND COUNTY - PUBLIC SERVICES - MANPOWER DIVISION
LETA - TITLE I, ON-THE- JOB TRAINING
On-the-Job Training has been one of the more successful operations of Title I. Training is
conducted in a work environment and is designed to allow individuals to learn a bona fide skill and/or
qualify for a particular occupation through demonstration and practice. Training is conducted on a
"hire first, train later" basis with ultimate unsubsidized placement with the employer.
OJT may involve individuals at the entry level of employment or be used to upgrade present
employees into occupations requiring higher skills. Training is designed to lead to the maximum
development of a participant's potential and to their economic self-sufficiency.
The following illustrates a summary of the contracts approved by the Board of Commissioners
as of September 18, 1975, and represents a comparison of those contracts presented before this
committee For approval and shown as Phase VI:
APPROVED TO DATE PHASE VI TOTAL PHASES
Number of Enrollees 263 101 364
Total Contract Costs $756,132 $347,476 $1,103,608
Average Cost Per Enrollee 2,875.03 3,440.36 3,031.89
Number of Employers 95 38 133
Average Per Employer 2.8 Enrollees 2.6 Enrollees 2.7 Enrollees
Training Time Average 21.9 Weeks 25.0 Weeks 22.7 Weeks
Average Weekly Enrollee Cost 131.57 137.61 133.56
Average Hourly Rate 3.29 3.44 3.34
Although average weekly training costs may vary due to the type of training and level of skill required
in different classifications, average weekly cost per enrollee has remained fairly constant throughout
the program as has the average length of training. This indicates that the formula used to determine
training time and trainee cost is widely accepted by private employers of different industries.
The Manpower staff recommends that On-the-Job training contracts listed under Phase VI be approved as
submitted.

IN RE: CONGRESSIONAL H.R. 5247, AUTHORIZE A LOCAL PUBLIC WORKS CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT AND INVESTMENT
PROGRAM
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the most severe economic decline in a generation has brought about massive unemploy-
ment; and
WHEREAS this economic situation has greatly worsened the already severe difficulties experienced
by State and Local Governments, including the County of Oakland, in funding construction of badly
needed public works projects; and
WHEREAS joblessness is especially severe in the construction industry, where fully one-fourth
of all workers are now unemployed for more than four years; and
WHEREAS the County of Oakland is experiencing growing difficulties in funding from its own
limited resources, primarily local real property taxes, its public facilities needs; and
WHEREAS the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the County of Oakland are
in jeopardy for lack of public facilities; and
WHEREAS the goal of H.R. 5247 is to provide employment opportunities for all those able,
willing and seeking work, of meeting the unmet needs of the County of Oakland for better public
facilities, and stimulating the economy; and
WHEREAS Congress has declared that a national unemployment emergency does exist and that, to
combat this unemployment emergency and stimulate activity in the construction and material industries
and in the economy generally, and to assist State and Local Governments in promoting the general welfare
of their citizens through the provision of adequate public facilities, there should be established a
program of Federal grants-in-aid to State, and local governments for the construction, repair, or other
improvement of local public facilities; and
WHEREAS the Federal Share of any project for which a grant is made under this Act shall be
100 per centum of the cost of the project, including architectural design, engineering and related
planning of local public works projects; and
WHEREAS the tentative allocation projected would result in additional appropriation to the
County of Oakland and several of its communities in an amount approximating $6,000,000; and
WHEREAS passage of H.R. 5247, by Congress, into law would have great impact on the unemploy-
ment emergency, would stimulate the economy, and would afford the means for construction and repair of
needed public facilities.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the County of Oakland does hereby strongly encourage the
Congress to swiftly and positively approve HR 5247, also referred to as the Public Works Emergency Act.

Re: 1975 Annual Report of Taxes, LT-1
Dear Mr. Hoover:
This letter is a follow-op of our telephone conversations of October 28, 1975.
The preparation and forwarding of the 1975 Annual Report of Taxes, LT-I, to your office
evidently crossed the mail with the report from the Oakland County Drain Commission on Clinton River
Drain #3, a Chapter 20 intracounty drain.
It was discovered recently that the LT-1 as submitted did not include the rate and levy for
Clinton #3. This rate and levy is required to make the required principal and interest payment which
comes due April 1, 1976.
Therefore, I request that the LT-1 as submitted be corrected to show a rate for Chapter 20
drains of $4.218 and a levy of $2,548,477.88.
This reflects an increase in the drain rate of .248 cents and a levy increase of 5150,000.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Murphy:
1 am enclosing the revised Form Notice to City Clerks for the tax year 1975 for the City of
Troy.
On October 29, 1975, the Board of Education, Warren Consolidated Schools, revoked their
June 11, 1975 approval which was forwarded to you on June 12, 1975 and approved the revised 1975 tax
levy of 34.50 mills as follows:
Voted 19.42 mills
Rate Allocated by Tax Allocation Board 9.58 mills
Debt Retirement 5.50 mills
34.50 mills
The revised levy is the result of the increase of 2.42 mills in our operating levy which was
approved by the Warren Consolidated School voters on October 28, 1975 for collection in 1975. As you
recall, Michigan Public Act 202 of 1975 amended "The General Property Tax Act" to permit school
districts to hold a millage election on or before November 11, 1975.

RULE 24 - SICK LEAVE
SECTION C
REASON FOR CHANGE:
Departments operating on a 24-hour basis are extremely hard pressed to find replacements
in an emergency. This often times necessitates working staff overtime sometimes for an entire
additional shift, due to lack of time allowances for advance planning. The result is additional
unnecessary overtime expenditures and inadequate coverage of critical work stations.
This change was originally presented to the Committee in September, 1974, and the Board of
Commissioners on October 3, 1974.
Objection was raised at one of the following Board meetings to the entire set of rules
presented to the Board on October 3, 1974.
Objections were aimed primarily at the changes recommended in Maternity Leave Rules; however,
the changes recommended here in Rule 24 went down in the process.
Our records indicate no specific objections to the changes in Rule 24 as originally
recommended.

IN RE: COMPOSITION OF THE SOUTHEASTERN MICHIGAN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY BOARD
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS-it has been generally agreed that implementation of a comprehensive public trans-
portation program for Southeastern Michigan requires that the composition of the SEMTA governing
board be changed; and
WHEREAS the principle of one man, one vote, has been determined to be the fairest method
of structuring public governing bodies; and
WHEREAS there is no compelling reason for this principle to be abandoned in restructuring
the SEMTA Board; and
WHEREAS because the State of Michigan will be an important participant in development and
implementation of a public transportation system in Southeastern Michigan, the State should also have
representation on the SEMTA Board.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby urges
the Michigan Legislature to pass legislation which would cause the SEMTA Board to be composed of 17
members, 14 of which will reflect the principle of one man, one vote, with an additional three members
to be appointed by the Governor of Michigan and/or SEMCOG from outside the tri-county area. The 14
members shall be distributed to each geographical unit based on the following formula: each
geographical unit shall be eligible to appoint one member to the SEMTA Board for every 300,000
residents in that unit. Based on the 1970 U.S. Census, the Board composition shall be as follows:
Detroit 5 members
Wayne (excluding Detroit)4 members
Oakland 3 members
Macomb 2 members
Governor and/or SEMCOG 3 members
The members of the SEMTA Board shall be appointed for a set term, and the composition of

James W. Dunleavy, Chairman
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS PROJECT - FACILITY BEAUTIFICATION - $76,924
This project would include fire hydrant painting, well-house painting as well as
revitalization and reconstruction of waste-water treatment plant grounds and sand beds.
It is also anticipated that twelve men working the nine-month construction season could
provide the services required within the limits of the allocated funds.
The Department would anticipate hiring these employees at the expiration of the projects
as vacancies occur through normal attrition.
PROJECT - FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS - $79,414
Three areas of activity are scheduled for water and sewer improvements.
One project would include the cleaning, operation and repair of all valves, gate boxes and
gate wells on water systems.
Another project would be a survey to locate and repair all water service stop boxes, includ-
ing 5,000 boxes whose location is unknown and which is not presently recorded.
The last project would be the rehabilitation of all sewer manholes and tops located in flood
plain areas.
It is anticipated that twelve men working the nine-month construction season could
accomplish these projects within the budget provided.
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION - PARK BEAUTIFICATION AND RESTORATION - $1,500,000
This is a total Oakland County Park system clean-up, beautification and restoration project.
It will be comprised of three mobile work crews which will travel to designated work sites within the
2200 acres of County Parks. Once there, they will perform such beautification, restoration and
development projects as cleaning and restoring river beds, cutting and developing of nature trails,
cleaning and improving lakeshores, trimming, elevating and planting of trees and shrubs. Two of the
sites, 800 acre Independence-Oaks and 220 acre Springfield-Oaks Park, are to be dedicated as Bi-
Centennial parks and will carry the Bincentennial plaque.
This project is self-contained in that it will provide 120 laborers, four supervisors,
inclement weather clothing, tools, transportation, safety shoes, and other items necessary to work
in the out-of-doors.
Accomplishment of the project goals will provide additional park areas and access to help
make the parks available and more beautiful for the Bicentennial dedications and leisure time users.
LAKE AND STREAM IMPROVEMENT - $50,000
The Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission will establish a program of beauti-
fication, clean-up and restoration of stream and lake shoreline at the 800 acre Independence-Oaks
Park. This park is to be dedicated as a bicentennial park and will carry the bicentennial plaque.
This project, along with its companion project, will create 125 positions within the park
system during the 1976 calendar year.
HURON VALLEY SCHOOLS - PROJECT IMPACT - $115,634
This grant will allow approximately 43 people to work 55 man months on projects to be
funded by the $115,634 requested. The district proposes to pair unemployed skilled tradesmen and
craftsmen with unemployed youth on such projects as developing the educational park on Bogie Lake
Road, creative design and paint ng of the school corridors and setting up a metric farm where the
students work in science with metric tools. Salaries account for 91.r% of the funds requested. The
bulk of the project will occur during the outdoor work season dependent upon weather.
In addition, the activities performed under this grant will have a significant effect on
the ecology. This effect will be achieved primarily by programming public service work to improve
various public school sites and land holdings.
This program will enable participants to become economically sufficient in a variety of
ways. Ideally, the participarts will develop or enhance salable job market skills or earn money to
attend vocational oreducationai institutions, r.E.T.A. employees who prove their skills will be given
priority where vacancies may occur within the regular work force. They will also be given priority in
the event that new regular positions become available due to expansion. Employees will be developing
skills that would benefit them in seeking employment in the private sector.
Although it is not anticipated that the Title X program will be used to extend already
existing CETA programs, there will be a correspondence between these new public service employees
654
Commissioners Minutes Continued. November 20, 1975
and those already hired. These new employees will join previous CETA employees in being eligible for
openings which occur within the regular employer work force through attrition or expansion. As in the
case of other CETA employees any Title X person who works within the appropriate job area will become
a member of the local bargaining unit.
The Title X program will be used solely for unemployed residents of Oakland County and for
public service work within Oakland County. No Livingston County residents or projects are included
in this program.
SOUTHFIELD PUBLIC SCHOOLS - JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT - $100,000
The purpose of the CETA program in the Southfield Public Schools project is to reinstate
services to students in the areas of career education, guidance, and library programs in order to
promote job opportunity for economic development for all students. Budget restrictions in 1975-1976
imposed sharp curtailments in these as well as other programs. This project would not duplicate,
supplant, or conflict with other federal manpower programs in the area.
The thrust of educational services would be for the students affected by the higher levels
of service made possible by this project, e.g., job awareness and exploration, resources for career
preparation, economic opportunity in career fields, speakers, resources, etc. An institutional
training program is planned for all staff. District and building in-service programs will be designed
to remove artificial barriers to employment and to maximize the employability of every child.
The overall goal is to help each student to become more employable at any stage of life,
as a result of attitudes, skills, and knowledge developed during the elementary and secondary years.
Reinstated staff and related in-service to all staff will allow direct impact on students in libraries,
guidance centers, and classrooms. A major artificial barrier to employment presently facing young
people is their own lack of awareness of career opportunities. The purpose of career education is
to broaden each student's view of career alternatives: job families, job outlooks, scope and variety,
backgrounds require, plus the dynamics, advantages and risks of various jobs. In addition, career
education enhances the student's immediate employability through the development of such basic skills
as completing job applications, writing resumes, and handling interviews.

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS it is the sense of this body that the delegates from the United States of America
to the United Nations have eloquently sought to defend the principles of the Charter of the United
Nations in condemning the resolution of the General Assembly adopted November 10, 1975 that wrong-
fully associates Zionism with racism; and
WHEREAS it is with a sense of sadness that this Board of Commissioners notes that many of
the Nations of the World that supported the General Assembly resolution still deny unto their citizens
those liberties that we Americans hold dear and sacred; and
WHEREAS we do believe that the principles embodied in the Charter of the United Nations
are worthy of our continued support so that mankind can live with dignity in peace.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the President, the United States House of Representatives
and the United States Senate be complimented for their statement and resolutions that sharply condemn
the resolution adopted by the General Assembly on November 10, 1975, in that said resolution encourages
anti-semitism by wrongly associating and equating Zionism with racism and racial discrimination, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Congress continue to call for an energetic effort by all those
concerned with the adherence of the United Nations to the purposes stated in its charter to obtain
reconsideration of the aforementioned resolution with a view to removing the subject of Zionism
which is a national but in no way racist philosophy from the context of any programs and discussions
focusing on racism or racial discrimination, and

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in the November 4, 1975 elections in Southeastern Oakland County, there was voter

WHEREAS an example of the voter apathy is that the City of Ferndale had a 20% voter turnout
and the City of Royal Oak had a 34% voter turnout; and

AWARD
This compulsory arbitration proceeding was conducted in accordance with Michigan's Compulsory
Arbitration Law, Act 312, M.C.L.A. 423.239: M.S.A. 17.455. A preliminary meeting was followed by a
hearing on May 15, 1975, wherein the parties set forth the issues in dispute. It was agreed at that
time that arguments and supporting evidence would be submitted to the Panel by brief. This was done,
and, in the course of proceedings, the parties were able to reach accord on the withdrawal of certain
issues and settlement of others. What follows is the Panel's Award as to all disputed matters.
I. TERM OF CONTRACT - The contract term shall commence January 1, 1975 and extend for a
period of three years, terminating on December 31, 1977; provided, however, that the Wages set forth
herein shall be effective as to the first two years of the Agreement. As to Wages only, there shall
be a re-opener for the final year of the Agreement.
2. WAGES - The Following wage award is applicable to Patrol Officer, Corrections Officer
and Identification Technician 1 and is retroactive to January 1, 1975. Effective January 1, 1975 the
base wage shall be $13,700. The maximum wage shall be $15,900. As of January 1, 1976 the base wage
shall be $14,600 and the maximum wage $16,800.
3. DETENTION OFFICER RATE - Retroactive to January 1, 1975 the Detention Officer rate shall
be $10,2000 at the minimum extending to a maximum of $12,800. Effective January 1, 1976, the base rate
shall be $10,825 and the maximum rate $13,625. As the classification of Detention Officer I, Medical
Detention Officer and the Detention Officer 11 are now incorporated in the one classification of
Detention Officer, employees in the deleted classification will be reclassified as follows; Effective
January 1, 1975 employees in the old classification of Detention Officer 1 and Medical Detention
Officer who are at the base step will be placed at the base step of Detention OfFicer; those in the
old classification of Detention Officer I, Medical Officer at the one year step will be placed at the
one year step of Detention Officer; those in the old classification of Detention Officer II at the base
step will be placed at the two year step of Detention Officer; those in the old classification of
Detention Officer II at the one year step will be placed in the three year step of Detention Officer.
Effective January 1, 1976 all employees shall be scheduled to advance to the next annual step of
Detention Officer. In addition, while performing the functions of a Medical Detention Officer, employe
in the class of Detention Officer will receive a bi-weekly bonus at the rate of $500.00 annually.
4. IDENTIFICATION TECHNICIAN II - This classification shall be compensated at a rate of $500
over the top Patrol salary.
5. PATROL OFFICER TRAINEE - The starting rate of a Patrol Officer Trainee shall be $12,200,
retroactive to January 1, 1975 and $12,500 effective January 1, 1976. Trainees may achieve the base
Patrol rate no sooner than six months after entering the classification. If such rate is not granted
at that time, the individual will be informed as to the reasons underlying the denial. Provided,
however, that such rate shall be granted no later than one year after entering the classification. It
is further provided that, without regard to when the base Patrol Officer rate is actually granted, the
individual shall receive thT one year Patrol Officer rate on the first anniversary following completion
of the probationary period.
'Conceivably, therefore, the individual achieving the starting Patrol Officer rate one year
after entering the Trainee classification would achieve the one year Patrol Officer rate si/ months
later, or eighteen months after entering the Trainee classification. The panel makes this a,are
recognition of the fact that the Employer should reasonably have more than six months to evaluate the
new officer. To this end, some discretion is granted with respect to postponing the attainment of the
Patrol Officer base rate; this notwithstanding the fact the probationary period is over in six months.
The Panel does not wish t o disturb this six month period, which has been established via the existing
Oakland County Merit System. Nevertheless, it is the Panel's recommendation that the probationary
period be reviewed with an eye toward expanding it to one year. The longer period will enable the
Employer to review more carefully the qualifications of new officers and thereby avoid potentally
precipitous decisions now mandated by the six month review period.
6. RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTION - The Union's request that the County assume a portion of the
contributions is denied.
7. OTHER CLASSIFICATIONS - The Panel declines to rule on the existing question of whether
these classifications are subject to Act 312. However, with respect to the classifications of First
Cook, Second Cook, Counter Clerk, Typist 1, Typist 11, and Cook III, the Panel recommends that wage
rates be established with specific reference to similarly situated classifications under the Oakland
County Merit System. The Panel further recommends that the communications officer (formally entitled
Teletype and Radio Dispatcher) be granted a wage increase of 9 and 1/2% and, additionally, that the
County assume the 6T, retirement contribution.
8. LIFE INSURANCE - The Union's request for additional coverage is denied.
9. INCOME CONTINUATION - Presently, when an employee has a continuing illness which extends
over a period equaling 80 of the total number of sick days the employee would have accumulated under
the existing sick leave plan since date of hire, that individual is eligible for income continuation
under a fixed schedule. It is agreed that, effective immediately, the waiting period of 80 is reduced
to 70Z.
601
CommRsioners Minutes Continued. December 4, 1975
10. DENTAL PLAN - It is agreed that a fully paid family dental insurance plan shall be
ilistdlled, effective January 1, 1976.
H. CLOTHING AND CLEANING ALLOWANCE - The County's offer is adopted with respect to
uniformed officers. Non-uniformed officers shall receive $250.00 for 1975 and $275.00 for 1976.
12. SHIFT PREMIUM - The Union's request for shift premiums is denied.
13. TRANSFER RATE CHANGES - The Union's request in this regard is denied.
14. HOLIDAY - The Union's request for an additional holiday is denied.
15. ARBITRATION CLAUSE - The finding being that the existing grievance procedure is satis-
factory and equitable, the Panel denies the Union's request for modification.
16. ANNUAL LEAVE ACCUMULATION - The Union's request in this regard is denied.
17. OPTICAL INSURANCE - The Union's request in this regard is denied.
18. The Employer's request for modification of the existing sick leave plan is denied.
19. The Employer's request for modification of the final average salary computation is
denied.
20. LONGEVITY - The Employer's request to modify the existing longevity payment schedule is
denied.

This is the fifth year of a continuing grant under the Social Security Act Title IV, '.nectio

This grant 1976 budget of $258,468 is $103,715 or 67Z higher than the 1975 budget •mende

IN RE: 1976 ANNUAL BUDGET
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
In accordance with the provisions of Public Act 139, the Board of Commissioners referred
the County Executive Recommended 1976 Budget to the Finance Committee for its review.
The Finance Committee deliberated for many hours over the difficult and intricate details
surrounding the budget.
Additionally, a public hearing on the Recommended County Executive Budget was held in an
attempt to get as much citizen input as possible.
The Finance Committee recognizes the dangers of the escalating costs of government. We
further recognize the need to contain this cost without seriously jeopardizing the services promised
to the citizens. Although the committee is satisfied that the Administration is moving in that
direction, we feel that continued cooperation and coordination between the administration and the
commissioners will go a long way toward accomplishing this goal.
To this end the Finance Committee is making certain recommendations in this Budget, whose
primary objective is to give this .Board of Commissioners greater input into the decision making
process.
While the Total Budget remains at 60.3 million dollars as recommended by the County Executive,
the Finance Committee recognizes certain budget increases in some line items made necessary by changing
conditions since the County Executive Budget was presented to this Board. These include Fringe Benefits
such as Social Security which increased $80,000 due to a change in the Social Security Act; Hospital-
ization Insurance increased $113,000 due to rate changes; Workmens Compensation Insurance increased
$155,000. Additionally, provision was made for funding of the following on-going programs; Area
Agency on Aging in the amount of $3,100, the 81-Centennial Commission in the amount of $10,000, and
$8,840 for District Courts.
The Finance Committee is recommending the elimination of the following items of expenditures;
Research Assistant - Board of Commissioners ($100,000); County Executive Professional Services
($15,000), Local Match for Organized Crime ($61,755), Oakland County Pioneer and Historical Society
($6,500); Utilities, Parking Lots and Roads ($50,000). These funds totaling ($233,255) are trans-
ferred to the Contingency Account.
In addition the following funds are being transferred to the Contingency Account pending
further program review by your Finance Committee and the Board of Commissioners; Computer Services
($120,440); Employees Dental Plan ($228,900); Youth Activities Center ($51,400).
As a further effort to monitor and control costs, the Finance Committee adopted the following
as part of this Budget document:
A) The Reserve for possible Salary Adjustments in the amount of $1,574,720 be transferred
from the Salaries Budget to the Contingency Account.
B) Reduce the number of passenger automobiles in the County Fleet from 188 to 175 in 1976.
C) Funds appropriated to outside agencies are not to be released without the review and
approval of the appropriate liaison Committee or in the absence of such a Committee, the Finance
Committee.
D) All new development programs undertaken by Data Processing must be reviewed by the Finance
Committee for appropriate cost justification prior to its implementation.
E) That the County Executive Administration explore the possibility of having an outside
agency perform the Data Processing Services.
F) The funds for the position of Public Information Officer be set aside with the under-
standing that this position come under the jurisdiction of the Board of Commissioners.
As stated earlier, the Total Budget remains at $60,358,437 for the fiscal year January 1 -
December 31, 1976.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 18, 1975 689
The following summarizes the major components of this Budget:
REVENUES
(1) Property Tax $37,775,000
The tax rate for 1976 remains at 5.26 mills as in previous years (of which .25 mills
are for the Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority).
(2) Non-Property Tax (State and Federal Share Revenues, Fees, etc.) $22,583,347.
For the first time in a decade our non-property tax revenues show a decrease over prior
year's budget. This reflects both the effect of current and anticipated economic conditions, as well
as the unavailability of prior years reserves.
APPROPRIATIONS
(1) Non-Deparrmental Appropriations $20,450,552
This group of expenditures has an overall increase of $423,658 (see detail budget for
specific items) which includes provisions for a Dental Insurance Program resulting from Labor Contraro
settlement and continuation of the Youth Assistance Program as a County Funded Program.
(2) Departmental Operating Appropriations $14,013,274
This group of expenditures increased by $2,550,694. Of this $616,075 is due to a budge'
procedural change charging Computer Services Development Cost directly to benefiting departments;
$260,000 for development of a Solid Waste Program; $203,000 for the General Election Expense; $591,001
for volume increases in Defense Attorneys, Juvenile Maintenance and County Building; $1,088,000 for ar
average economic increase of 8% in all Operating Departments.
(3) Personnel Cost $25,894,521
Personnel costs increased by $1,646,707. Included in this amount are increased costs
of existing positions due to status changes, merit increases, additional positions granted by the
Board since January 1, 1975 and an amount approximating 5 of existing budgeted positions for possible
salaries adjustments. The Personnel Practices Committee will recommend to tl-lc Board of Commissioners
a specific salary package detailing salary adjustments for each employee, as well as elected official ,.
excluding Board of Commissioners members.
GENERAL FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING
This budget contemplates General Fund Revenue Sharing receipts of $3,350,000. These funds
will be earmarked for the following purposes, State Institutions-Community Mental Health $400,000;
Reference Library $35,000; Social Services-Hospitalization $600,000; Law Library $40,000; Circuit
Court Defense Attorneys $600,000; Juvenile Court Defense Attorneys $175,000; Medical Examiner $100,000
Chapter 20 and 21 Drains $400,000 and Law Enforcement - Sheriff's Department $1,000,000 for a total of
$3,350,000.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The Capital Improvement Program appropriations has been reduced to $600,591, which is
approximately a 75% reduction as compared to last years Budget.
In accordance with rule X-A of this Board, the Finance Committee will submit a revised five
year Capital Improvement Plan as a supplement to this Budget upon completion of the review and setting
of priorities by the Planning and Building Committee.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move the adoption of the above report
and approval of the 1976 Budget as submitted.
Respectfully submitted,

Act, ds amended. As a result of this review, changes will be recommended in overtime eligibility
for certain classifications.
FRINGE BENEFIT IMPROVEMENTS
The only employee Fringe Benefit Improvement included in this draft of the 1976 County
Budget is For an employer paid Dental Plan.
The proposed plan would be available on an optional basis to eligible active employees with
twelve months service. Benefits would be similar to industrial insurance plans for auto workers in
this area except employees would be required to make a deductable payment of $25 per covered individual
per calendar year on certain types of expenses.
The employer cost for this coverage will be $350,000 for 1976.
NEW POSITIONS - BUDGETED
There are no new budgeted positions recommended in this budget. County departments, as a
part of the normal budget process, submitted documented requests for an additional 200 new positions
they deemed necessary because of general increases in the demand for services resulting in increasing
workloads, attempts to improve service or to staff new programs. No new positions are recommended,
however, because of the County's attempt to hold the line on rapidly increasing costs, the diminishing
growth in revenues and the uncertainties in economic forecasts for 1976.
NEW POSITIONS - C.E.T.A.
The County currently has a total of 239 employees working under Title 11 and Title VI of the
Federal Comprehensive Employment Training Act of 1973 (C.E.T.A.). Total authorized County
C.E.T.A. positions either filled or in the process of being filled number 295 (199 under Title II;
96 ender Title VI). Federal allocation will fund the County's C.E.T.A. program through June 31, 1976
and provide up to 45 new C.E.T.A. positions now under review but not yet authorized. Total C.E.T.A.
expenditures from June, 1975, through June 31, 1976, are projected at $2,466,854, including adjustments
in salary rates and additional positions.
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, reviewed and
approved by the Department of Management and Budget, 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, $776,878 was
spent during 1973, and $1,072,135 was spent during 1974. 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.
EMERGENCY SALARIES
"Emergency Salaries" are amounts granted to certain departments based on previous experience
and/or in anticipation of unusual workloads and staffing problems in the coming budget year. Such funds
are used by departments to cope with fluctuating caseloads to cover vacation and sick leave absences
and to cover repetitive seasonal or special projects. The use of short term temporary employees paid
from "Emergency Salaries" is considerably less expensive than full-time staffing with a larger number
of permanent employees to meet peak loads. "Emergency Salaries" allows departments to maintain a
roster of "on call" employees available to cope with emergencies. Permission must be obtained from
the County Administration through Personnel, before such funds can be used.

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 $2.00 per hour for the first year and $2,25 per hour for the second year for
Summer Clerical type help. Summer Grounds help or Laborers receive $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 Committee to oversee summer employment distribution.
TUITION REIMBURSEMENT
Placing this allocation in the Salaries Reserve Fund allows County Administration to co-
ordinate, and the Personnel 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 County Executive
through the Personnel Department. The increase from $40,000 in 1974 to $60,000 in 1975 and $80,000 in
1976 reflects the effects of inflation of the cost of education.
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 3,000 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,
CHILDREN'S VILLAGE STUDENT EMPLOYMENT
For several years, the County has employed students from the Children's Village in a number
of County Departments. The number of students available varies with the Village's caseload and the
departments involved vary with the type of students available and the County's workload. In 1974,
$5,000 was allotted for this purpose but had to be augmented before the year was over. $10,000 was
allotted for this purpose in 1975 and again in this budget. This program has the double benefits of
providing on-the-job training, work experiences and often exposure to a different lifestyle for the
students and assists the County in coping with certain routine workloads.
Moved by Wilcox supported by Button the approval of the 1976 Budget be adopted as submitted.
Misc. 7386
By Mr. Kasper
IN RE; AMENDMENT TO SALARIES PORTION OF 1976 BUDGET
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the proposed 1976 budget presented to this Board contains a Salaries Budget amount
of $25,994,521, of which $1,574,720 designated for possible salary adjustments and for new positions
granted by the Board between August 28 and December 4, 1975, has, upon recommendation of the Finance
Committee, been transferred to the Contingency Fund; and
WHEREAS all bargaining unit costs for 1976 are now known with the exception of the Assistant
Prosecutors; and
WHEREAS your Personnel Committee has reviewed the matter of salary adjustments for elected
and appointed officials and other non-union employees and recommends a general increase of P. with the
exception of certain elected, appointed and part-time or temporary employees, as contained in the
attached salary document; and
WHEREAS the 1976 total budgeted salaries costs recommended by the Personnel Committee for
elected and appointed officials and union and non-union employees amounts to $26,060,072, which is
$65,551 greater than the amount in the 1976 proposed budget; and
WHEREAS the Sheriff employees contract arbitration case was not settled at the time the
original salary document was prepared and an amount estimated to be sufficient to cover the cost of
the forthcoming award was distributed with a portion in the salaries adjustment item and the remainder
In the Employees' Retirement Fund line item in anticipation of the award requiring the County to pay
the Sheriff employees 6i retirement contribution; and
WHEREAS the Sheriff employees contract arbitration award has been received, said award re-
sulting in greater costs than anticipated to the salaries budget but less cost than anticipated to
the Employees' Retirement Fund line item as the award does not require the County to absorb any of the
employee retirement contributions for police class employees; and
WHEREAS the 565,551 needed to fund the amended salaries portion of the 1976 budget is sub-
stantially less than the amount placed in the Employees' Retirement Fund line item for absorbing the
Sheriff employees' retirement contribution, an amount not now needed for that purpose in 1976;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the proposed 1976 budget be amended as shown by the
attached salaries document;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the amount of $1,574,720 proposed for transfer from the salarie ,,
portion to the Contingency Fund remain in the Salaries Portion of the Budget;
BE IT FURTHER RPALVED that the additional amount of $65,551 required by this amendment be

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS there exists a "County Policy on Assignment of County Vehicles" which was put into
effect by the former Board of Auditors; and
WHEREAS your County Executive has continued such policy and has recommended improvements in
said policy for 1976; and

as general County Policy by this Board of Commissioners.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the "County Policy on Assignment of County Vehicles" as
attached to this resolution is hereby adopted by this Board of Commissioners.
The Finance Committee, by Richard R. Wilcox, Chairman, moves the adoption of the foregoing
resolution.
FINANCE COMMITTEE
Richard R. Wilcox, Chairman
COUNTY POLICY ON ASSIGNMENT OF COUNTY VEHICLES
CENTRAL POOL
The Central Pool consists of vehicles housed at the Central Garage, which are used for the
fullowiny purposes:
A. To be 11 ,,ed by those departments who are in need of unscheduled or intermittent trans-
portation. Generally, these vehicles are checked out for short periods of time, but occasionally are
used for full days or several days when necessary.
B. To be used as replacement vehicles, when necessary, when assigned vehicles are brought
into the Garage for normal preventative maintenance or due to necessary repair service.
BASIC ASSIGNMENT PRINCIPLES
It is the policy of the County of Oakland, to provide the most economic and feasible types
of transportation, for those departments requiring methods of transportation to accomplish their prime
mission. It is recognized that vehicles are management tools and are necessary for the transportation
of persons, equipment, supplies and specialized activity. In this respect the County Executive is
responsible for the assignment of vehicles, based upon the following principles:
A. The basic principle in the assignment of a County vehicle to a department, an employee
or a group of employees for the conduct of County business shall be in the best interest of the County
in terms of economy, improvement or necessity of operations.
B. Recognizing the management role of the department or institution head, no assignment other
than those made by the County Executive on the basis of overall mileage to be driven, will be considered
except on the request and approval of the department or institution head. Where in the judgment of the
705
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 18, 1975
County Executive, a County employee should be placed in a County vehicle because of the mileage to
be driven, the department or institution head will be consulted prior to such assignment.
C. Recognizing the assignment of a County vehicle is in effect a trust and often results
in an indirect fringe benefit to the employee, the County Executive reserves the right to forthwith
revoke such assignment, or invoke such other penalties as shall be appropriate under the circumstances,
whenever said employee shall be guilty of improper care or use of such vehicle. Prior disciplinary
action on the part of the department or institution head will be considered by the County Executive
prior to any action taken by them.
D. Recognizing the conditions under which an assignment has been granted may vary from time
to time, each department or institution head in whose department assignments have been made shall
immediately notify the County Executive via the County Executive-Central Services Division of any
changes of circumstances calling for a change of previously approved assignment within that depart-
ment. To this end the County Executive will require annual re-justification of all regular assignments.
E. Recognizing the complex and multiple factors involved in the assignment of County
vehicles under Item A above the County Executives, in determining such assignments, will give consid-
eration to the following factors or combinations thereof:
I. MILEAGE DRIVEN
Where it is determined that the average monthly mileage, driven by an employee or group
of employees, falls within a range where it would be more costly to the County to reimburse the
employee (s) for using their personal vehicles.
This is the primary consideration for assignment of County vehicles.
The mileage of those vehicles, assigned to specific departments, on the basis of mileage
driven, shall be inspected quarterly to determine if sufficient miles are being driven in County-
related business trips to necessitate continued assignment to the department.
2. SPECIALIZED VEHICLE EQUIPMENT
Where it is determined that the vehicle must have specialized equipment built into it,
as an integral part of the vehicle, to properly perform the functions of the job. The impracticability
of drawing a vehicle specially equipped, from the Central Pool, shall be shown. Examples of such
equipment are as follows:
a. Emergency lights and sirens.
b. Two-way radios.
c. Specialized truck bodies.
d. Snow removal and earth moving equipment.
3. SPECIALIZED VEHICLES
Where it is determined that a specialized type of vehicle is required to efficiently
carry out the functions of the department, for the purpose of transporting materials, equipment,
sumliesand personnel to job sites. The impracticability of drawing such a specialized vehicle, from
the Central Pool, shall be shown. Examoles of items to be transported include:
a. Construction tools.
b. Surveying instruments.
c. Radiological equipment.
d. Parts inventories.
e. Testing equipment.
f. Pumps and compressors.
g. Laboratory equipment.
h. Chemicals.
i. Grounds personnel.
j. Maintenance personnel.
4. TERRAIN CONDITIONS
Where it is determined that the travel conditions are not conducive to the use of
personally owned vehicles. The impracticability of drawing an adequate vehicle, from the Central
Pool, shall be shown.
5. EMERGENCY NEED
Where it is determined that it is necessary to have a vehicle available to respond
imiltediately to a work situation or for public service emergencies which require immediate response.
The likellhood of an emergency occuring, which requires the immediate attention of the assignee,
shall be clearly shown. Examples include the following:
a. Response to natural disasters.
b. Enforcement emergencies.
c. Health and safety emergencies.
d. Emergencies related to the safety of County-owned facilities ad personnel.
e. Situations where it is important to respond immediately to fulfill the services
expected by the taxpaying public.
6. TRANSPORTING NON-COUNTY PERSONNEL
Where it is a regular Function of the department to provide transportation for persons,
other than County employees. The impracticability of drawing an adequate vehicle, from the Central
Pool, shall be clearly shown. Examples are as follows:
a. Prisoner transportation.
b. Transporting children who are wards of the court.
c. Making arrests.
d. Transporting hospital patients.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 18, 1975 706
7. DEPARTMENT HEADS
Each major department head whose duties entail the use of a vehicle in carrying out his
normal assigned responsibilities will be permanently assigned a vehicle for departmental use. Such
vehicles, though assigned to the department head, are to be made available to other departmental
personnel for necessary travel and the likelihood of such travel will be considered in making the
assignment.
This is a natural extension of the Central Pool concept, as the County operations have
continued to grow and decentralize. The impracticability of drawing a vehicle, from the Central Pool,
shall he clearly shown.
The above is in recognition of the increased cost to the County because of the following
Factors:
a. The use of the department head's available time in securing and returning vehicles to
the Central Pool or providing, in lieu thereof, the necessary "delivery services".
b. The necessity for immediate and often home to destination travel.
c. Hidden costs due to delay when vehicles are not available, or in the converse, the
increased number of Central Pool cars needed to eliminate this problem.
F. Under no circumstances will a vehicle be assigned as a fringe benefit, only. Automobiles
shall be assigned on the basis of the printed guidelines. County employees, regardless of position,
shall be assigned cars, only as outlined in this policy.
G. FLEET EXPANSION
Effective 1/1/76 request for additional new vehicles (Other than replacements) shall
require the affirmative recommendation of the County Executive and the approval of the Finance
Committee.
Further, the Finance Committee shall recommend to the Board of Commissioners appropria-
tion sufficient to cover the acquisition cost plus monthly leave charges for the balance of the current
year.
HOME-WORK ASSIGNMENTS
In all cases, where it is determined that it is to the County's advantage to have the
employee take the assigned vehicle home at the end of the normal work day, it is understood that the
vehicle is not to be used for personal activities.
A. REPORTING TO JOB SITES RATHER THAN THE HOME OFFICE
Where it is determined that it is to the County's advantage to have the employee report
directly to the job site, rather than to his home office and later travel to the job site. In such
cases, the dollar savings in efficiency of operation must be shown, or the need to provide an expected
public service apparant. Examples are as follows:
I. If the employee normally started work at 8:30 a.m. and had to report to the office
First, he would not actually start work on the job until after 9:00 a.m.
2. Where the employee must report immediately to a job situation during normal off-duty
hours; such as a medical examiner investigator's call to a death scene, a police official called to
an emergency, a key maintenance employee called to a water line break, etc.
3. Where it is necessary, for the using employee, to provide spot supervision on a 24-
hour per day basis.
4. Where there are a sufficient number of regular night, weekend, and early morning
meetings or contacts made, which would make it less feasible for the user to drive first to the
Central Garage. Examples are:
a. Servings of warrants
b. Obtaining easements
c. Meetings with other public agencies
d. Investigative work
B. ECONOMIC DETERMINATION
Where it is determined that it would be more costly to the County, in terms of non-
productive time spent in obtaining transportation, than it would be to have the vehicle driven home.
Moved by Wilcox supported by Patterson the resolution be adopted.
Moved by Pernick supported by Fortino the resolution be amended to read, "All County
vehicles shall display the seal of the County of Oakland in a prominent exterior position. Specific
exemption to this rule may be granted by the County Executive for vehicles involved in criminal justice
matters".

IN RE: ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PLANNING AND BUILDING COMMITTEE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
In accordance with Section X, Rule "E" of the Rules for the Oakland County Board of Commis-
sioners, your Planning and Building Committee has made its Annual Inspection of County owned buildings
and grounds; and, is pleased to report that it found the County facilities satisfactorily maintained,
cleaned and repaired. The conditions speak well for the program carried out by the employees of the
Department of Central Services, Facilities and Operations Section.
During the past year there have been many accomplishments in the County Capital Improvement
Program. Renovation of the former Juvenile Home, now called the North Office Building, started and is
scheduled for completion in early 1976. The estimated cost of this renovation is $1,044,265 and at the
completion will allow for transfer of Purchasing, Circuit Court-Probation, Veterans' Affairs, Co-
operative Extension, Printing, and Stationery Stores to this facility. The former Shelter Care Cottage
was renovated by the County Maintenance Division as part of this overall project and was occupied by
Substance Abuse Services in June of this year.
Additional space at the Social Services Building in Pontiac, at a cost of $26,400, was also
renovated during 1975 to allow for further expansion of services at this facility. Also, Phase I of
the site work at this location was completed in 1975 at a cost of $66,000.
New leases were negotiated at Rochester and Wailed Lake for the expansion of the 52nd
District Court at those locations. The alteration work involved in the expansion was substantially
completed in 1975 at a cost of about S40,000. Involved in this expansion program was an additional
lease for a satellite part-time court facility in the Village of Milford. Finally, bids were received
and a lease approved for a new facility for the 2nd Division of the 52nd District Court in Independence
Township.
Negotiations were also completed for space for Social Services in Royal Oak at the Conga
Building, and that operation moved into the expanded space in early 1975. Also, a lease was approved
for a new office for Social Services in Walled Lake in 1975, and that facility went into operation
in November. The lease for this 16,000 sq. ft. facility allows the County to purchase the building
at the end of five years for S200,000.
Also, a study and investigation were completed in regard to purchase of land for a Western
Oakland Service Center. At the present time negotiations are in process for purchase of 27 acres in
this area.
The actual construction of the 120-bed Medical Care Facility was started this year and is
scheduled for completion in mid 1976. The processing of the proposed bond issue of $3,200,000 to
finance this project was started in 1975, and hopefully, will be completed in early 1976.
Other projects the Committee was involved with in 1975 included the alteration work for the
Troy Street Offices in Royal Oak. The County Maintenance Division did the work for this project at a
cost of about $35,000. The building had been used by Social Services and now is used by Community
Mental Health and Circuit Court-Probation. Four of the portable buildings located in the County Service
Center near the County Market were also remodeled by the County Maintenance Division this year for use
717
COUVII ssioners Minutes Continued. December 18, 1975
by the new Manpower Division and the Jury Commission. Some miscellaneous water line improvements
on the County Service Center were also completed in 1975 at a cost of about $32,500. Phase VI of
the Seivice Center primary electrical system was also approved and completed in 1975 at a cost of
ohout $25,000. A contract was just approved for fencing around the storage areas of the Public Works
Building at a cost of about $8,000, and this work is scheduled for completion in early 1976. Finally,
approval of a contract is in process for a gasoline tank and pump for unleaded gas to be installed
in northern Oakland County to serve the Sheriff's Department.
Projects started in previous years and completed in 1975 include Phase II of Children's
Village, heating renovations at the Social Services Building, new steam system for Building 2, County
Hospital renovations to meet State Health Department requirements, and the new boiler at Central Heat-
ing.
Your Committee continues to see a large task ahead to provide government facilities for our
growing County. In 1976, we anticipate the start of construction of Phase I of a new Children's
Village School, that will provide new vocational training and recreational facilities. Regular classes
will continue in the old school building. In addition, it is expected that, with the completion of
the new Medical Care Facility, it will be necessary to begin renovations of the old County Hospital.
Also, remodeling in the Courthouse Complex and Administrative Annex I is scheduled for 1976 as a result
of relocation of departments into the North Office Building. Some expansion will also be needed at
the Law Enforcement-Jail Complex for the women's unit. 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.

Re: 7422-10- Dunleavy Drain- Award of Bids
Gentlemen:
Attached is a verified tabulation of bids received for construction of the Dunleavy Drain
projecL.
Also attached are letters attached to some of the bids which apparently qualify that bid.
The low bidder, M & B Equipment Co., did not attach such a letter.
We have investigated the ability of the tow bidder, M & B Equipment Company and find that
he has a Department of State Highways and Transportation financial rating of over 17 million dollars
of which a substantial amount is uncommitted to existing contracts. M & B has furnished an equipment
list which is substantial in quantity and capacity. They have also furnished us a list of their
supervisors which indicate considerable heavy construction experience in both underground and road
building construction.
Upon checking their past work references we find rather universal agreement that M & B
Equipment Co. has the ability and capacity to perform the work included in the Dunleavy Drain project.
A few of the references did report difficulty in settling claims but this was not the experience of
all references contacted.
Based on our investigation we recommend award of this contract to M & B Equipment Company
for their low bid amount of $1,215,530.60.

PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE
James W. Dunleavy, Chairman
OAKLAND COUNTY PUBLIC SERVICES EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING ADMINISTRATION DIVISION CETA TITLE I - ON-
THE-JOB TRAINING
Phase VII represents the final group before this Committee this year. Fifty-five positions are in-
cluded with contracts with 21 employers. This would increase the amount obligated under OJT by
$183,248 bringing the total to date to $1,286,856.
The amount presented for approval is considerably less than the 101 positions and $347,476 approved
in Phase VI by the Board of Commissioners on November 6, 1975. This is due to seasonal slow-down in
employer interest and office requirements in monitoring and updating records.
APPROVED TO DATE PHASE VII TOTAL ALL PHASES
364 55 419
$1,103,608.00 9183,248.00 $1,286,856.00

Although training costs have increased per enrollee, the length of training time has also increased.
It is anticipated that after the first of the year, employer interest will improve based upon an
improved economy and the positive image of the program by the employer.
It is the staff's recommendation that the Public Services Committee approve the contracts as submitted.
