individual line-items providing that at no time shall the net
expenditures exceed the total appropriation for salaries and

requests for these items are reviewed and approved by the

budget process to charge all governmental, special revenue and
proprietary funds for actual employer fringe benefit costs.

Compensation shall be transferred to their respective self
insurance funds as established by Miscellaneous Resolution
#81012.
(e) An amount for capital improvements and rental charges for
principal payments on Building Authority bonds shall be added
to the Building Space Cost Allocation charges. Funds collected
as a result of these charges shall be accumulated in the

transfer to the Capital Improvement Fund and Building Authority
Fund. The transfer of these funds to the Capital Improvement
Fund and Building Authority Fund shall not be made prior to
December 31, without approval from the Finance Committee of the
Board of Commissioners.
(f) Transfers may be made from the non-departmental reserve account
Office Automation and Computer Services-Development account as
specific requests for these items are reviewed and approved by
the Computer User Advisory Committee (C.U.A.C.) and the Finance
Committee. The Fiscal Officer shall report such amendments to
the Finance Committee as a formal part of the County
Executive's Quarterly Financial Forecast.
Transfers may be made from the non-departmental accounts for
Computer Services or from any other source of funds, for
computer hardware and/or software only with prior approval by
the Finance Committee. Each proposal for the transfer of funds
must be supported in writing with cost justification, estimates
of potential savings and/or cost avoidance, and an itemization
of the requested hardware and software. The Director of
Computer Services shall present such proposals as required to
the Finance Committee as they are developed. The Fiscal
Officer shall report such amendments to the Finance Committee
as a formal part of the County Executive's Quarterly Financial
Forecast.

any expenditure from the professional services account in the
Administrative Division of the Department of Management and
Budget. Requests for such approval shall include details of
the nature of the services, their anticipated results and
anticipated time frame. Results of any studies funded under

and Personnel Committees on a timely (as they occur) basis.
22. The Board of Commissioners may make supplemental appropriations by
amending this general appropriations measure as provided by this
resolution, provided that revenues in excess of those anticipated
in the original general appropriations measure become available due
to:
(a) An unobligated surplus from prior years becoming available;
(b) Current year revenue exceeding original estimate in amounts
sufficient enough to finance increased appropriations.
The Board of Commissioners may make a supplemental appropriation by
increasing the dollar amount of an appropriation item in the
original general appropriations measure or by adding additional
items. At the same time the estimated amount from the source of
revenue to which the increase in revenue may be attributed shall be
increased, or other source and amount added in a sum sufficient to
equal the supplemental expenditure amount. In no case may such
appropriations cause total estimated expenditures, including an
accrued deficit, to exceed total estimated revenues, including an
unappropriated surplus.
23. Whenever it appears to the County Executive or the Board of
Commissioners that actual and probable revenues in any fund will be
less than the estimated revenues upon which appropriations from
such fund were based, the County Executive shall present to the
Board of Commissioners recommendations which, if adopted, will
prevent expenditures from exceeding available revenues for the
current fiscal year. Such recommendations shall include proposals
for reducing appropriations, increasing revenues, or both. After
receiving the recommendations of the County Executive for bringing
appropriations into balance with estimated revenues, the Board of
Commissioners shall amend the general appropriations measure to
reduce appropriations or shall approve such measures necessary to
provide revenues sufficient to equal appropriations, or both.
24. All appropriations are annual and the unexpended portion shall
lapse at year end. Encumbrances and appropriations carried forward
will be recorded as a reservation of fund balance and the
subsequent year's budget amended to provide authority to complete
these transactions, as defined in NCGA, Statement 1. Encumbrances
and Appropriations Carried Forward will be recorded as a
reservation of fund balance and the subsequent year's budget
amended to provide authority to complete these transactions.
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 the purposes of
determining their continuation for the remainder of the year. The
recommended year-end budget amendment shall be supported with a
statement of revenues and expenditures and operating surplus or
deficit which shall contain the following data: (1) budget as
adopted; (2) budget amendments; (3) budget as adjusted; (4)
revenues and expenditures, operating surplus or deficit; (5)
accrued revenue and expenditures; (6) transfers; (7) total revenues
and expenditures and transfers, operating surplus or deficit,
including accruals and transfers; (8) encumbrances; (9)
appropriations carried forward; (10) total revenues and
appropriations utilized, operating surplus or deficit, including
encumbrances and appropriations carried forward; (11) balance of
revenues not collected, unencumbered appropriation balance,
operating surplus or deficit; (12) detail of adjustments to
designated and undesignated fund balance, detail of adjustment to
reserves and/or any other utilization of surplus; (13) final
surplus or deficit or undesignated fund balance carried forward to

the subsequent year's budget.
25. A member of the Board of Commissioners, the County Executive, any
elected officer, the Fiscal Officer, any other administrative
officer or employee of Oakland County shall not: (1) create a debt,
incur a financial obligation on behalf of the County against an
appropriation account in excess of the amount authorized, (2)
apply or divert money of the County for purposes inconsistent with
those specified in this general appropriations measure as approved
and amended by the Board of Commissioners, nor (3) forgive a debt
or write off an account receivable without appropriate
authorization of the Board of Commissioners, as described in
Miscellaneous Resolution #93135. Funds shall not be expended or
transferred from "off-budget" or balance sheet reserve accounts,
contingent liability accounts, designated and undesignated fund
balances and fund equity accounts without specific appropriation or
other appropriate action by the Board of Commissioners. Except as
otherwise stated in the General Appropriations Act, funds shall not
be expended without specific appropriation or other appropriate
action by the Board of Commissioners from reserved, designated or
undesignated fund equity; from balance sheet accounts for the
purchase of fixed assets not cited in paragraph #26 of the General
Appropriations Act, nonroutine prepaid items or nonroutine
obligations related to a specific appropriation; or from funds not
budgeted.
26. In connection with the 1994 General Appropriations Act, the
Computer Services Fund operating budget shall be adjusted for
depreciation and anticipated capital outlay such that the operating
budget is converted from the full accrual basis of accounting to
the modified accrual basis of accounting. The funding for the
capital outlay shall be referenced in the operating budget. In
connection with the Fiscal Officer's Quarterly Financial Forecast
Report, capital outlay and related funding shall be presented to
the Finance Committee. It is the intention of the Board of
Commissioners to require a similar capital reporting structure for
other internal service funds in the 1995 calendar year budget
process.
27. The budgetary system shall be maintained on the same basis of
accounting (generally accepted accounting principles) as the actual
financial information is maintained.
28. Any violation of the general appropriations measure by the County
Executive, the Fiscal Officer, any administrative officer, employee
or member of the Board of Commissioners detected through
application of generally accepted accounting procedures utilized by
Oakland County or disclosed in an audit of the financial records
and accounts of the County shall be filed with the State Treasurer
and reported by the State Treasurer to the Attorney General.
Pursuant to Public Act 621 of 1978, the Uniform Budgeting Act, the
Attorney General shall review the report and initiate appropriate
action against the person or persons in violation. For use and
benefit of the County of Oakland, the Attorney General or
Prosecuting Attorney may institute a civil and/or criminal action
in a court of competent jurisdiction for the recovery of County
funds disclosed by an examination to have been illegally expended
or collected as a result of malfeasance, and for the recovery of
public property disclosed to have been converted or
misappropriated.
29. The provisions of this act shall be applied to the General Fund and
all Special Revenue and Proprietary Funds of the County, including
Enterprise Funds and Internal Service Funds.

security or indemnity which complies with applicable law and is satisfactory to
the County Treasurer, the County Treasurer may authorize the bond registrar and
paying agent to deliver a new executed Refunding Bond to replace the Refunding

enabling compliance with Rule 15c2-12 issued under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Rule") and to do all other things necessary to enable
compliance with the Rule. After the award of the Refunding Bonds, the County
will provide copies of a "final official statement" (as defined in paragraph

by the purchasers to enable the purchasers to comply with paragraph (b)(4) of
