IN RE: FLEXIBLE BENEFIT PLAN - REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR PLAN MAINTENANCE AND
PLAN DESIGN REEVALUATION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners authorized the implementation of a
flexible benefits plan for Oakland County in February of 1994; and
WHEREAS the administration estimated a savings of $480,000 during the
initial phase of the flexible benefits program, largely on the recommendation
of ComeriCOMP Benefits Consulting, the County's flexible benefits plan
administrator; and
WHEREAS the recently issued Implementation Report by ComeriCOMP Benefits
Consulting projects a total 1994 gross savings of $67,905 which will result in
a net loss to Oakland County of more than $78,000 during Phase One of the
Flexible Benefits program, as well as a $412,092 unfavorable condition in the
1994 Adopted Budget; and
WHEREAS estimated savings in Phase Two of the Flexible Benefits program
are expected to be minimal and are predicated upon participation rates that
are significantly less than projected by ComeriCOMP Benefits Consulting in
their Flexible Benefits Plan Implementation Proposal; and
WHEREAS these poor results relative to Phase One of the Flexible
Benefits program raise concerns over the structure and continuation of the
Flexible Benefits plan design; and
WHEREAS there are also concerns over the projected cost for implementing
Phase Two of the Flexible Benefits program, particularly as it relates to
maintenance of the existing Flexible Benefits program; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners believes it is in the best interests
of the citizens of Oakland County, as well as those employees under the scope
of the existing Flexible Benefits plan, that the plan and associated costs be
reviewed prior to any changes to the existing Flexible Benefits plan, and to
continuation of the plan in 1995.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes the establishment of a Flexible Benefits Plan
Implementation Committee comprised of the Chairperson of the Finance
Committee, two members of the Board of Commissioners appointed by the
Chairperson of the Finance Committee, the Directors of the Personnel and
Management and Budget Departments or their designees, and one additional
member of the Personnel Department appointed by the Director of Personnel.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this committee shall be created to include
but not limited to the development of an RFP to solicit bids on 1) the
maintenance of the existing Flexible Benefits program and 2) review of the
current Flexible Benefits plan design and recommendations on revisions
thereto; and to review all issues, and make recommendations on same to the
Board of Commissioners, related to the provision of flexible benefits.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that no administrative changes shall be made to
the current Flexible Benefits plan without approval of the Flexible Benefits
Plan Implementation Committee and the Board of Commissioners.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #94247
BY: General Government Committee, Donald W. Jensen, Chairperson
IN RE: SUPPORT FOR OAKLAND COUNTY TO RECEIVE ITS FAIR SHARE OF PUBLIC ACT 189
FUNDS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in 1993 the Michigan State legislature passed Public Act 189,
designed to reimburse Counties for a portion of their trial court operational
cost; and
WHEREAS the State Court Administrator's Office (SCAO) is responsible to
administer PA 189 funds and has developed a formula to distribute PA 189
funds; and
WHEREAS the SCAO developed formula is based on incorrect and incomplete
financial information and interpretation of the legislation resulting in the
potential loss of PA 189 funds to Oakland County amounting to millions of
dollars annually; and
WHEREAS the SCAO did not verify the financial information used in the
formula prior to its use in two distributions from the State Court Fund; and
WHEREAS among other concerns, the distribution formula:
a. Assumes district court revenue collected by the 52nd
District Court and given to municipalities to be County
revenue, reducing the amount of PA 189 funds available to
the County;
b. Ignores Oakland County Child Care expenditures located in
reporting units other than the Probate Court (Children's
Village, Camp Oakland, etc.), however credits the County
with all child care revenue.
WHEREAS the County Executive, through the Department of Management and
Budget, is attempting to work with the SCAO, to correct the problems with the
formula, the accuracy of the financial information in that formula, and to
ensure that Oakland County receives it fair share of PA 189 funds.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioner supports the efforts of the County Executive to work with the
State Court Administrator's Office in correcting the problems with the PA 189
distribution formula, the accuracy of the financial information in that
formula, and to ensure that Oakland County receives its fair share of PA 189
funds.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be forwarded to
Oakland County's legislators and to the Michigan Association of Counties with
the request that they join Oakland County in seeking an equitable solution to
this funding.
Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move
adoption of the foregoing resolution.
