IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET - BUDGET AUTHORIZATION AND COST
CONTROL
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County General Appropriations Act, Miscellaneous
Resolution #93269 approved December 9, 1993, specifies in Section 16 that the
current basis of budget authorization and cost control is by three categories
of accounts for each division: salaries and fringes, overtime and operating;
and
WHEREAS the County Executive, through the Department of Management and
Budget, recommends that the expense categories be revised to two categories
(Controllable Expenses and Non-Controllable Expenses/Internal Service Funds) to
more properly match Division Manager authority and responsibility, thereby
enhancing overall accountability; and
WHEREAS the Fiscal Officer shall continue to exercise supervision of all
budgeted Controllable expenditures, holding expenditures below individual line-
item appropriations or allowing overruns in individual line-items providing
that at no time shall the net expenditures exceed the total appropriation for
the Controllable category for each Division; and
WHEREAS since true cost containment for each Internal Service Fund
ultimately resides with the Manager of that fund, implementation of this
recommendation would more properly target accountability without compromising
the financial reporting objective of full cost accounting for the delivery of
public services.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes the following revisions to Section 16 of the General
Appropriations Act in order to enhance budget authorization and cost control by
changing the control categories from Salaries and Fringes, Overtime, and
Operating to Controllable Personnel Expenses, Controllable Operating Expenses,
and Non-Controllable Operating Expenses:
Appropriations accumulated at the following three summary levels of
expenditure within each County Division will be deemed maximum
authorization to incur expenditures: salaries and fringes, overtime, and
operating Controllable Personnel Expenses, Controllable Operating
Expenses, and Non-Controllable Operating Expenses (Internal Service
Funds). The County Executive or the Fiscal Officer shall exercise
supervision and control of all budgeted expenditures within these limits,
holding expenditures below individual line-item appropriations or
allowing overruns in individual line-items providing that at no time
shall the net expenditures exceed the total appropriation for salaries
and fringes, overtime, or operating expenditures, Controllable Personnel
and Operating Expenses, respectively, for each division as originally
authorized or amended by the Board of Commissioners.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this program will be reviewed
by March 31, 1995.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move adoption of the
foregoing resolution.

GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #94113
BY: Commissioners Lawrence Pernick and Donn Wolf
IN RE: HEALTH CARE REFORM AMENDMENTS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Congress of the United States is presently considering
comprehensive health reform legislation; and
WHEREAS as both health service providers and as major employers, county
governments throughout the Nation will be greatly impacted by these health
reform proposals; and
WHEREAS the National Association of Counties, NACo, has identified four
critical areas of the President's Health Security Act (HR 3600S. 1757) which
create deleterious obstacles for counties, and have recommended the following
amendments:
1) parity between public and private employers in their ability to
continue to self-insure or benefit from a federal guarantee that no
more than 7.9% of the public payroll would go toward meeting the
employer share of the new health premium;
2) essential community health service provider designation for
counties to guarantee health plan reimbursement during the
transition to a national health plan;
3) coverage of detainees and their dependents while in jails or other
detention facilities;
4) guaranteed source of funds for public health; and
WHEREAS because Michigan counties have a long and successful history in
fulfilling the responsibility to promote community health, prevent disease and
epidemics, and to provide health services to their low-income and uninsured
citizens, it is imperative that Congress not ignore the concerns of these local
health delivery systems--the Counties--whose decades of experience and
expertise should be utilized in the development of any health reform.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners does hereby support NACo in its efforts to address the
shortcomings of the Health Security Act as outlined above, and petitions
Oakland County's federal legislative delegation to amend the proposed health
care legislation to correct these inequities.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the County Clerk be directed to send
certified copies of this resolution to all Oakland County State and Federal
Representatives and Senators, the Governor, NACo, MAC, and the Michigan
Association for Local Public Health.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

IN RE: FORCED SITINGS OF DISPOSAL CAPACITY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS on June 1, 1992, the U.S. Supreme Court rendered a decision that
allows out-of-state and out-of-country wastes to flow freely into Southeastern
Michigan; and
WHEREAS on March 4, 1993, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
adopted a resolution (MR 93001) which:
1. Urged Congress to adopt laws allowing counties to effectively
regulate the flows of out-of-state and out-of-country wastes so
that they may properly plan for the disposal of their own wastes
without that capacity being usurped by uninvited wastes, and
2. Urged the State of Michigan, absent any such timely national
legislation, to suspend the forced siting of new landfills beyond
that necessary for the local waste stream over the short-term (3 to
5 years); and
WHEREAS on October 7, 1993, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
adopted a resolution (MR 93170) which:
3. Urged the State of Michigan to reduce the Act 641 planning period
from 20 years to 10 years (in part to reduce the amount of disposal
capacity originally required and to reduce the threshold at which
capacity must be replenished); and
WHEREAS little progress has been made on this entire issue (both from a
national and state perspective) and Oakland County is currently faced with the
potential mandate of additional disposal capacity (by a state agency which
refuses to change its interpretations of 1981 administrative rules in spite of
a dramatically altered solid waste scene), which will only add additional
capacity which is not required for the short-term needs (3 to 5 years) of the
County's solid waste generators and which excess will become an additional
competitor for the region's limited waste stream, thereby attracting even more
out-of-state and out-of-country wastes as the operators of the numerous
landfills seek to maximize their operation levels.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners reaffirms the problems previously identified, the urgency for
corrective actions required at both a national and state level, and the
solutions presented, as expressed in Miscellaneous Resolutions 93001 and 93170;
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Michigan's legislators be urged to adopt
additional changes to Act 641 so that forced sitings of additional disposal
capacity do not occur, unless a county cannot demonstrate that it has access to
at least 5 years of disposal capacity at in-county sites, at sites in other
counties where such is permissive in the approved Act 641 plans, or at out-of-
state sites; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that such changes should be enacted on an
emergency basis, with immediate effect, and which override existing plan
language, litigation, or administrative edicts which may force a county to site
additional disposal capacity when it has access to more than 5 years of
disposal needs.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
places an immediate moratorium on implementing the 1981 Administrative rules
until the legislature deals with the issues set forth in this resolution.
Chairperson, we move adoption of the foregoing resolution.

Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XI-G of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed
Miscellaneous Resolution #94160 and finds the following:
1. Resolution #94071 authorizes the issuance of drain bonds with the
County pledging full faith and credit with Acacia Park CSO Drainage

2. The original authorization for bond issue (Miscellaneous Resolution
#94071) for a total of $11,900,000 was to be divided in two
portions, Series 1994A and Series 1994B.
3. The estimated cost of the Acacia Park CSO Drain has been revised
for a total of $13,750,000 (an increase of $1,850,000 over the
original estimate).
4. Bond Series 1994A, in aggregate sum not to exceed $10,850,00, will
be sold to the Michigan Municipal Bond Authority at an estimated 2%
interest per annum. The redemption terms will be determined by the
state.
5. Series 1994B and 1994C, in aggregate sum not to exceed $2,900,000
will be repaid within 20 years at an interest rate to be determined

been included in the initial resolution.
6. The County's total apportionment will increase to $413,875. The
dollar amount may be reduced with Federal Funding. Based on the
total dollar amount of the project and assuming no Federal grant
will be received, the County's assessment in 1995 will be $43,967
($36,357 to the state and $7,610 for the public sale).
