Tc the Cakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Medical Care Facility has increasingly reliea on temporary agencies for
licensed nursing personnel to provide relief for extended and short -term staff absences, unfilled
vacancies and to cover additional nursing responsibOities reauired by the federal government; and
WHEREAS the Medical Care Facility wishes to establish and operate a nursing pool of
part-time non-eligible County nurses paid at a higher salary rate than the full-time eligible
General Staff Nurse classification but lower than the rate charged by temporary nursing agencies;
and
WHEREAS area hospitals have implemented this type cf part-time nursing pool to meet
staffing needs; and
WHEREAS this proposal is more cost effective and will reduce the amount of County
appropriation necessary to operate the Medical Care Facility.
NOW ThEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that tne Oakland County Boarc of Commissioners authorize the
following:
1. Create a part-time, non-eligible classification of Contingent Staff Nurse at a flat
hourly rate of $20.00.
2. Create six (6) non-eligible Contingent Staff Nurse positions at 2488 hcurs each in the

By Finance Committee
IN RE; Department of Institutional and uman Services/Medical Care Facility - CREATION OF PINE
CONTINGENT STAFF NURSE CLASSIFICATION AND SIX (6) CONTINGENT STAFF POSITIONS
To the Oakland County Beard of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XI -G of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed Miscellaneous
Resolution #91058 and finds:
1) The Medical Care Facility has experienced shortages in skilled nursing care,
particularly on weekends and holidays, which has resulted in an increased use of contracted nurses
who charge an average of $38/hour:
2) The resolution creates six (6) PINE Contingent Staff Nurse positions in the Medical
Care Facility, funded for 2088 hours each, to cover the shortfall particularly on weekends and
holidays Instead of the contracted nurses;
3) Because the Contingent Staff Nurses will be paid $20/hour, this change will have an
immediate impact on reducing the anticipated skilled nursing care cost and, in the long ran, reduce
the amount of County contribution to the Facility as shown on attached Schedule A;

Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 25, 1991 120
4) The annual cost of these positions equals $299,636, the cost for the remainder of 1991
(May 4 - December 31) equals $195,164, as detailed in Scnedule B;
. 5) Due to a change in medicaid policy allowing for unlimited days of ccverage, additional
revenue is anticipated in the Medical Care Facility's patient revenue accounts to cover the 1951
cost of this increase, the following amendment to the 1991 Medical Care Facility budget is recom-
mended.
Revenue
$195,164
4 -52100-163-35 -00-1001 Salaries $175,756
4 -52100-163-35-00-2070 Fringe Benefits 19,408
Total Expenses 4195,164
$ -0-
6) The above amendment is .recommended to control cost, independent of any potential cost
reimbursement. Current state proposals dictate a 301, reduction in medicaid reimbursement (an annual
9.2% reduction collapsed over three months). Should this reduction be maintained into the next
state fiscal year there may be a revenue reduction which could require a supolemental County
appropriation.

or licensed licuor establishment; and
WHEREAS the only exceptions to this provision of Act 321 are: an owner, security
employee, a peace officer lawfully performing his or her duties and a CCW licensee; and
WHERAS the glaring flaw in Act 321 is that it fails to include off-duty police officers in
the list of exceptions; and
WHEREAS there have been numerous, documented eases in which police officers, while off
duty, have heroically risked their lives in the process of apprehending dangerous felons; and
WHERZAS these same felons, while in the course Of perpetrating a crime, have threatened
and endangered countless lives; and
WHEREAS It is reasonable to assume that the community at large would welcome the
opportunity to have armed, off-duty officers in their midst to enhance the feeling of security.

IN RE: SUPPORT A JOINT EFFORT BY THE GOVERNOR AND LEGISLATURE IN REACHING A STATE BUDGET COMPROMISE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen;
WHEREAS the lack of an agreement to resolve the current year deficit is causing grave
concerns in the community and the potential for reductions is serious for tnose least likely to be
able to sustain a minimum living standard; and
WHEREAS the reductions in needed social services will have a negative effect on all
citizens of the county and will leave those most in need with unacceptaple and. in some cases,
complete lack of necessary life supporting assistance; and
WHEREAS as a result of a lack of state support, local communities, units of government and
health care providers will be forced to reallocate already diminishing sources of revenue to support
reduced and discontinued social services;
WHEREAS Oakland County, through the Oakland County Department of Social Services, supports
state ward and board care an foster care for 364 children and a reduction in payments in the amount
of 22% would reduce available facing in tne amount of $1,488,697 that provides care for abused and
neglected children; anG
WHEREAS the reduction of all ADC and GA grants by 17% would affect the 36,214 Persons
dependent upon these funds for basic housing expenses and nutrition, which are included in the
13,163 ADC and GA cases administered by the Oakland County Department of Social Services. These
reductions would leave a recipient family of four persons with approximately $232 per month for
basic necessities such as heat, utilities and clotning after the average payment for housing is
expended, with an estimated total loss to Oakland County in the amount of $11,891,192; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Oepartment of Social Services supports day care for 298
recipient families wnicn provide opportunities for the parents to attend job training educational
classes and to be employed with the proposed reduction in day care rates of 18%, rendering many
unable to secure day care services; and
WHEREAS the reduction of the 18% to Medicaid providers would have serious impact on those
most dependent on Medicaid services:
1) Funding for Medicaid services through the Oaklanc County Department of Social Services
would be reduced by an estimated $7,089,287, which is used for hospital services, nursing nome care,
pnysician services, prenatal care, and prescriptions.
2) On May 1, 1991, payments to the Oakland County Medical Facility will be reduced by
$20,000 per month.
3:r A total of 28,512 people are eligible for medical assistance in Oakland County. The
proposed cuts of 18% would reduce fee-for-service payments for certain services and eliminate
payment for certain services including substance abuse treatment.
4) The impact on the Health Department clinics would be most serious in the areas which
provide primary care and dental services to over 11,00 Medicaid eligible women and children each
year.
WHEREAS the loss of 40% of Supplemental Security Income funting for the aged and disabled
would affect the 8,669 recipients administered by the Department of Social Services and would reduce
benefits by approximately $1,777,394 annually; and
WHEREAS or. August 1. 1991, tne State of Michigan will disenroll in the Medicaid program,
having the affect of leaving nearly 27,068 persons in Oakland County without a source of payment for
medical care;
WHEREAS the Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency (OtHSA) estimates that the effects of
this year's cuts, which will total more than $238.00C, will mostly affect the low income, elderly,
handicapped, and children. Reductions of 9.2% in State Supplemental Assistance (SSA) funds will
reduce the operating budget of OLHSA's outreach offices by one-thirc, resulting in the restriction
of OLKSA's ability to distribute the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TETAP) surplus commodity
food, Focus Hope food, administer FEMA and homeless grants, and provide direct emergency services,
resulting in the loss of direct services to approximately 24,575 people and approximately 13,245
referral services per year; and

I.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 25, 1991 132
WHEREAS of the 28,750 people slated to get TEFAP surplus commodity food this year, 9,583
will be dropped; the 1,879 people who would receive assistance with their heating bills will ee
trimmed by about one -third; and the 240 homes targeted for insulation and other weatherization
improvements will be reduced to 80; and
WHFeEAS with the unemployment rate in Oakland County at 6.4%, the loss to the economy as
the result of these budget reductions would have a significant impact on tne economic well -being of
the county. Of the 564,325 civilian work force, 36,350 are unemployed; and
WHEREAS it is estimated that the result of the proposed budget reductions would be in
excess of a total of $24 million in Oakland County per year.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby
request that the Governor and the Legislature work together to make the necessary cuts In the State
budget in a manner that will best protect against severe hardships on those already experiencing
serious disadvantage;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the budget cuts should be extended over a longer period of
time to allow the counties and other units of government an opportunity to adjust revenues and
budgets in a more realistic manner.
