BY: Finance Committee, John P. McCulloch, Chairperson
IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES/CHILDREN'S VILLAGE - 1994/1997 WATERFORD
SCHOOL DISTRICT AGREEMENT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XI-G of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed
Miscellaneous Resolution #94195 and finds:
1. The proposed agreement, between the County and the Waterford School
District, covers the three (3) year period from July 1, 1994
through August 20, 1997, with annual negotiations on the agreement
budget.
2. Attachment A details the agreement budget for the period August 21,
1994 through August 20, 1995, gross expenditures equals $1,868,697,
anticipated revenues equals $1,555,520, leaving net County cost
(excluding summer school expenses) at $313,177 for the school year.
3. The annual amount will be divided into four quarterly payment of
$78,294.25. At the end of the school year (after August 1995), a
final adjustment will be made matching the actual District expenses
against the revenues received.
4. Summer school actual expense will be handled as a separate issue
per Miscellaneous Resolution #94167 and will be closed out by
10/1/94.
5. Attachment B calculates the proposed contract's effect on the
1994/1995 Biennial Budget including the negotiated residency
payment and one time expense for 1994 summer school.
6. Excess funding of $19,512 for 1994 is available for transfer to the
1994 Contingency account. Should expenses not increase for
1995/1996, an additional $186,822 is available for other purposes.
However, due to the uncertainty in school financing, no transfer
of 1995 funds is recommended at this time.
7. The 1994/1995 Biennial Budget should be amended to reflect all
anticipated expenditures and revenues associated with the Waterford
School Agreement, as specified below:
1994 1995
