WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners adopted a FISCAL POLICY
MANUAL (Misc. Resolution #90095, May 24, 1990) which specifies in Section

Commissioners' approval to be included in the subsequent year's budget....; and
WHEREAS a clear policy statement does not presently exist for determining
which unexpended appropriations should lapse at year-end and which should be
carried forward into the ensuing budget; and

revises Section III.C.(7) of the FISCAL POLICY MANUAL by deleting the first
paragraph and substituting the following language:
All appropriations are annual as authorized by the General
Appropriations Act and the unexpended portion shall lapse at year

purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the
expenditure of monies are recorded to reserve that portion of the
applicable appropriation, are employed as an extension of formal
budgetary policy in the General, Special Revenue, Proprietary, and
Capital Project Funds. Encumbrances and Appropriations Carried
Forward shall be recorded as a reservation of fund balance since
they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. All requests
for amounts to be carried forward must be completely documented
with a well defined program and a specific timetable for
implementation of that program.Encumbrances and Appropriations
Carried Forward shall be disclosed in the year-end closing
resolution and require approval of the Board of Commissioners to be
reappropriated in the ensuing year's budget. Appropriations shall
not be carried forward for more than six (6) months into the budget
year following the year in which they were originally appropriated.
A status report on Appropriations Carried Forward will be
incorporated as an integral part of the ensuing year's Second
Quarter Financial Forecast for purposes of determining their
continuation for the remainder of the year.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Section 24 of the General Appropriations Act
be amended by deleting the second sentence and substituting the following
language:
Encumbrances and Appropriations Carried Forward will be recorded as
a reservation of fund balance and the subsequent year's budget
Commissioners Minutes Continued. August 26, 1993

amended to provide authority to complete these transactions.
Appropriations shall not be carried forward for more than six (6)

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #93165
BY: Personnel Committee - Marilynn E. Gosling
IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF PERSONNEL/RETIREMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the Department of Management and Budget has projected a
significant budget shortfall for 1994; and
WHEREAS, one means of addressing the projected budget shortfall while,
simultaneously, creating many opportunities for reorganization and position
deletions is to provide a strong incentive for long-time County employees to
retire; and
WHEREAS, an actuarial assessment has been performed by Gabriel, Roeder,
Smith & Company of the potential for savings by offering an "Incentive Window"
to currently eligible employees and an "Early Out Window" to certain employees
not yet eligible for retirement; and
WHEREAS, the findings of the actuary are summarized in the attached Fiscal
Note which reflects an estimated annual savings of $3.2 million; and
WHEREAS, the stated savings is predicated on cost reductions of twenty-
five percent (25%) of those positions being vacated through retirement; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Retirement Incentive Program has been reviewed and
recommended by the County Executive.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes implementation of the RETIREMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM, to
be offered to non-represented Retirement System members, who will be eligible

service credits and Michigan Reciprocal Retirement Act service time will total
seventy (70) by that date, with a minimum service of eight years.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the RETIREMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM be offered
during a ninety-one (91) day window of opportunity beginning October 1, 1993
and ending December 30, 1993, with the Retirement Factor of 2.2 to apply only
to retirements that take place during that period and only to Benefit Plan A
employees, with Benefit Plan B employees also being eligible but with a factor
of 1.8.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that employees desiring to participate in the
RETIREMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM must file a written application with the
Retirement Commission on the appropriate form no later than November 30, 1993
in accordance with Section 37 of the Rules and Regulations of the Retirement
System;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that all employees newly hired or rehired after
October 1, 1993 contribute three percent (3.0%) pre-tax of their salary as
defined in Section Three of the Rules and Regulations of the Retirement System,
excluding overtime, and that all current Benefit Plan A employees begin
contributing one-half (50.0%) of any future general salary increases until
their contribution level reaches three percent (3.0%) of their salary as
defined above;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that for employees not eligible for or not electing
the "Incentive Window" or "Early Out Window" in 1993, the retirement factor be
increased from 2.0 to 2.2 effective January 1, 1996 if employee contributions
have reached three percent of salary by that date, and if contributions have
not reached that level then the benefit factor shall be increased from 2.0
toward 2.2 in the same proportion that the contribution level is of three
percent (e.g., if contribution level has reached 1.5% on January 1, 1996 then
the factor shall be increased to 2.1%) and that the employee continue to
contribute one-half of future increases and the factor continue to increase
proportionately until such time as the contribution level reaches three percent
of salary and the benefit factor reaches 2.2;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that all retirements becoming effective on or after
January 1, 1996 shall not include overtime in the computation of Final Average
Compensation;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that employees retiring after December 30, 1993 be
required to contribute eight dollars ($8.00) per month toward their health care
coverage and that future contribution levels shall be directly indexed to the
general salary increase for non-represented employees;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Retirement System Plan be
revised to reflect these changes;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Personnel Department be authorized to
offer these changes as a package to all represented groups excluding the
employees represented by the Oakland County Deputy Sheriff's Association and
Oakland County Command Officer's Association whose contracts already provide a
means of early retirement;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that in order to achieve the projected savings
referenced above the twenty-five percent (25.0%) reduction in the cost of
vacated positions shall be adhered to prior to the filling of any vacancies or
approval of any reorganizations.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Personnel Committee, I move the adoption of
the foregoing resolution.

for each non-Oakland County student receiving education services.
The $7.00 per day fee will be recovered by the student's county of
residence.
2) The school will operate during the normal school schedule, no
summer instruction will be provided.
3) As indicated on the attached schedule, the contract would save the
County $40,185 during the 1993 calendar year.
4) As part of the contract negotiations, the District asked the County
to help alleviate a potential shortfall in the 1991/1992 contract
due to reductions in state revenue for court placed students. The
District requested the County cover a portion of this shortfall on
a 221/100 District/County ratio up to a maximum County payment of
$100,000. The level of shortfall will be determined once the
1991/1992 District books are closed.
5) Amendments to the 1993 County budget, if necessary, will be
recommended with the third quarter forecast.

Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County operates the Children's Village School, in
cooperation with the Waterford School District; and
WHEREAS all students receiving education in the school are residents of
the Waterford School District pursuant to a Probate Court order; and

that was anticipated to operate the Children's Village School (total state aid
revenue for 1993/1994 is estimated to be $1.2 million); and
WHEREAS the loss of this revenue would result in a detrimental effect on

IN RE: SOLID WASTE: ACT 641 - CHANGE 20-YEAR PLANNING REQUIREMENT TO 10-YEARS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, Michigan's law governing solid waste, Act 641, requires that each
county have disposal capacity for 20 years, replenishing that capacity when it
falls below certain threshold levels, and
WHEREAS, the MDNR's 20-year administrative requirement is not practical
due to changing population trends, new technology, changing disposal needs,
shifting composition of the solid waste stream, and a fluctuating waste stream
volume, and
WHEREAS, the State's required 20 years of planned solid waste capacity
discourages waste reduction, reuse, and recycling. Also, the 20-year
requirement stifles the innovation and development of new technologies by
focusing on traditional methods of incineration and landfilling, and
WHEREAS, the Solid Waste Management Planning Program Review Work Group
completed its report and made its recommendation to the DNR on March 4, 1993.
This committee, comprised of Michigan planners, industry representatives,
environmentalists, township officials, and Michigan Municipal League
representatives, recommended that Act 641 reduce the 20-year requirement of
planned solid waste capacity to 10 years of planned capacity.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners does hereby urge the State of Michigan to reduce the 20-year
capacity requirement contained within Act 641 to a 10-year requirement.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the
Oakland County legislative contingent in Lansing and the Governor of the State
of Michigan, and Roland Harms, Director of the Michigan Department of Natural
Resources.
