and Public Act 621 of 1978, the Uniform Budgeting and Accounting Act for Local
Government, it is the responsibility of the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners to establish and adopt the annual County Budget and work program;
and
WHEREAS the Finance Committee received budget requests from all County

Recommendation; and
WHEREAS the Finance Committee, after due deliberation, has formulated a
Recommended General Appropriations Act balancing total appropriations with
available resources at $476,640,529 for calendar year 1996, a summary of which
was included in the Notice of Public Hearing published in newspapers of general
circulation; and
WHEREAS the further intent of this resolution is to maintain a budgetary
system for the County of Oakland on the same basis of accounting (generally
accepted accounting principles) as the actual financial information is
maintained; to define the powers and duties of the County's officers in
relation to that system; to designate the Chief Administrative Officer and
Fiscal Officer; and to provide that the Board of Commissioners and committees
thereof, as well as the Fiscal Officer, shall be furnished with information by
the departments, boards, commissions and offices relating to their financial
needs, revenues and expenditures/expenses, and general affairs; to prescribe a
disbursement procedure, to provide for an allotment system; and to provide
remedies for refusal or neglect to comply with the requirements of this
resolution; and
WHEREAS the Circuit Court Mediation Fund (Miscellaneous Resolution
#90177) is used to cover the total cost of Attorney Mediators, with the balance
to be used for enhancement of Court operations as requested by the Court and
approved by the Board of Commissioners.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
does hereby adopt and amend the 1996 General Appropriations Act recommended by
the Finance Committee as advertised and placed in the Clerk's Office for public
inspection.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that $700,000 of Cigarette Tax Revenue distributed

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Road Improvement Funds may be released to the
Road Commission upon approval of the specific projects by the General
Government Committee of the Board of Commissioners.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the following policy be established regarding
administration of the Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund:
1) The Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund (DTRF) was established in
accordance with the provisions of Public Act 206 of 1893 (as
amended) for the purpose of paying local taxing units within the
County their respective shares of delinquent ad valorem real
property taxes, in anticipation of the collection of those taxes by
the County Treasurer. This policy statement, which encompasses the
precept of self-funding, ensures that utilization of unrestricted
DTRF funds does not impair the functional intent or operational
success of the DTRF as originally established.
2) To that end, at no time shall funds be diverted from the DTRF that
would cause the unrestricted balance to fall below a level that
would assure a prompt payment of all current and future outstanding
General Obligation Limited Tax Notes, as well as assure the
continued operation of the DTRF as specified in the preceding
paragraph.
3) Penalties and investment interest generated by the DTRF may be
transferred, in whole or in part, to the General Fund of the County
upon majority vote of the Board of Commissioners so long as such
transfer(s) meets the provisions of paragraph #2 above.
4) Any and all appropriations from unrestricted DTRF funds, excepting
penalties and investment interest, shall be limited to one-time
expenditures, as opposed to recurring operations.
5) Unless otherwise specified, appropriations from the DTRF shall be
considered long- or short-term advances (with specific time frames
detailed in the authorizing resolution), to be repaid with interest
as specified below.
6) Any appropriations from unrestricted DTRF funds, excepting
penalties and investment interest, not considered advances to be
repaid within a time certain shall require a two-thirds majority
vote of the Board of Commissioners.
7) All appropriations from unrestricted DTRF funds considered to be
advances to be repaid within a time certain shall require a
majority vote of the Board of Commissioners.
8) Terms and conditions of any and all advances from the DTRF shall be
specified in the authorizing resolution, including interest
obligations detailed as follows:
a. Interest on each payment will be based on the average monthly
rate paid during the term of the agreement by the agent of
the DTRF for that year's outstanding borrowing, or
b. In the event no borrowing occurs for the DTRF, principal and
interest payments will be made in accordance with the
previously established "Loan of County Funds Policy"
(Miscellaneous Resolution #89276) which requires Board
approval of repayment terms at an interest rate no less than
the prevailing six-month Treasury Bill rate and that such
rates shall be computed and compounded quarterly.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that one Assistant Prosecuting Attorney position,
or the equivalent thereof, shall be utilized by the Prosecutor in the Warrants
Division located in Royal Oak.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that $437,500 (or one-half of the $875,000)
convention facility tax revenues distributed by the State to Oakland County
under the authority of the State Convention Facility Development Act, Public
Act 106 of 1985, be earmarked for substance abuse programs.

measure through action by the Board of Commissioners, except within

16. Appropriations accumulated at the following three summary levels of
expenditure within each County Division will be deemed maximum
authorization to incur expenditures: Controllable Personnel
Expenditures, Controllable Operating Expenditures, and Non-
Controllable Operating Expenditures (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

time shall the net expenditures exceed the total appropriation for

each division as originally authorized or amended by the Board of
Commissioners. The Fiscal Officer shall submit to the Finance
Committee a quarterly listing of new governmental funded
appropriations and internal service fund line items created

transferred pursuant to the provisions of this resolution to the
appropriate general appropriation account and the expenditure then
charged thereto.
19. No obligation shall be incurred against, and no payment shall be
made from, any appropriation account unless there is a sufficient
unencumbered balance in the appropriation and sufficient funds are
or will be available to meet the obligation. All capital projects
funded from the Capital Improvement Fund shall require approval of
the Board of Commissioners on recommendation of the appropriate
liaison committee (Planning and Building Committee) prior to
initiation of the project. Any obligation incurred or payment
authorized in violation of this resolution shall be void and any
payment so made illegal except those otherwise ordered by court
judgment or decree.
20. The Fiscal Officer, after the end of each quarter, shall transmit

21. Direct expenditure and/or transfers of any unencumbered balance or
any portion thereof in any appropriation for transfer account to
any other appropriations account may not be made without amendment
of the general appropriation measure as provided for in this
resolution, except that transfers within and between budgeted funds
and departments may be made by the Fiscal Officer in the following
instances:
(a) Transfers may be made from the non-departmental overtime
account and fringe benefit adjustment account to the
appropriate departmental budget as specific overtime requests
are reviewed and approved by the Budget Division.
Additionally, overtime appropriations may be transferred
between divisions within a department at the request of the
Department Head, if authorized by the Fiscal Officer or his
designee.
(b) Transfers may be made from the non-departmental appropriation
accounts for Maintenance Department Charges and Miscellaneous
Capital Outlay to the appropriate departmental budget as
specific requests for these items are reviewed and approved
by the Fiscal Officer.
(c) Transfers may be made from the non-departmental appropriation
accounts Emergency Salaries and Summer Help as specific
requests for these items are reviewed and approved by the
Personnel Department.
(d) Fringe benefit rates shall be established annually in the
budget process to charge all Governmental, Special Revenue
and Proprietary funds for actual employer fringe benefit
costs. Such rates shall be sufficient to meet all fringe
benefit costs including sick leave and annual leave
accumulations, tuition reimbursement, retirees'
hospitalization and retirement administration. All funds
collected for Retirement, Tuition Reimbursement, Social
Security (FICA), Hospitalization for active and retired
employees, Disability, Dental, Optical, and Life and Accident
Insurance shall be transferred to the Employee Fringe Benefit
Fund as established by Miscellaneous Resolution #81-312.
Sufficient funds shall be maintained in the Employee Fringe
Benefit Fund liability account for sick leave and annual
leave to cover the accumulated liability at an amount equal
to 50% of the sick leave accumulation and 100% of the annual
leave accumulation, including applicable Social Security
(FICA) taxes thereon. All funds collected by Workers'
Compensation and Unemployment Compensation shall be
transferred to their respective self insurance funds as
established by Miscellaneous Resolution #81-012.
(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 Facilities Maintenance and Operations Fund for
subsequent 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 accounts for
the Department of Information Technology 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
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 7, 1995
471
cost justification, estimates of potential savings and/or
cost avoidance, and an itemization of the requested hardware
and software. The Director of Information Technology 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.
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. 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, as required by Miscellaneous
Resolution #93-156, 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,
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 7, 1995
472
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 #93-135. Specifically, application of the
foregoing Bad Debt Write Off Policy shall be invoked for all
amounts in excess of $1,000; transactions of a lesser amount shall
be considered within the administrative authority of the Fiscal
Officer. Furthermore, the Accounting Division must submit to the
Board of Commissioners, as part of the quarterly financial report,
a listing of all bad debt write offs occurring during the preceding
three months. In addition, transactions relating to Inmate
Prisoner Billings which are billed in excess of ability to pay, as
determined by the Reimbursement Division, are hereby authorized to
be adjusted in accordance with Public Act 212 of 1994 with the
resultant amount of the write-off subsequently reported to the
Board of Commissioners as part of the Quarterly Financial Report.
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 1996 General Appropriations Act, the
Information Technology Fund operating budget shall be adjusted for

TAX REVOLVING FUND LOANS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners has approved certain
Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund (DTRF) loans to the Radio Communications Fund and
Information Technology for purposes of refinancing the 800 MHz system and for
funding various office automation projects, respectively; and
WHEREAS the original loan amounts total $10,052,233 and the current
outstanding balance amounts to $7,531,383, of which $3,112,364 is loans to the
Radio Communication Fund and $4,419,019 is loans to the Information Technology
Fund; and
WHEREAS with the expansion of the 800 MHz system, the Radio Communication
Fund should generate additional revenue in 1996 and 1997 to cover debt service
for a portion of the loans; and

variances in 1995, building funds which can be used to retire their portion of
the loans; and
WHEREAS the Department of Management and Budget has presented the Second

WHEREAS the County Executive recommends that available funds in the
Information Technology Fund and currently undesignated General Fund Balance be
utilized to retire one-half of the Radio Communication loan and 100% of the
aforementioned Information Technology Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund loans
thereby converting this non-recurring financial windfall into a systemic change
reducing debt obligations and debt service requirements throughout the ensuing
budget period and beyond; and
WHEREAS the County Executive's 1996-1997 Biennial Budget Recommendation
contemplates the retirement of this debt obligation by reducing the
appropriation for DTRF principal and interest payments, accordingly.

IN RE: OPPOSITION OF THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS TO CERTAIN
ASPECTS OF PROPOSED COURT REFORMATION BY SUPREME COURT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Chief Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court James Brickley
addressed a joint session of the Legislature to outline the Supreme Court•s
plan to improve the justice system; and
WHEREAS various administrative features of the Court•s program involve
significant changes in County government operation as it relates to Court
services support and operation; and
WHEREAS certain recommendations of the Supreme Court and their
potentially negative impacts upon Oakland County include the development of a
Statewide Computerized Information System which our Board of Commissioners in
consultation with the County Clerk, opposes; and
WHEREAS Oakland County has a highly developed system of information
delivery, and is developing a comprehensive system of access to county
information involving the Internet; conversely, the State•s Computer Support
Enforcement System, developed by Supreme Court Administration Office (SCAO) has
been an unqualified disaster; and
WHEREAS the proposal to bring essential Court Services wholly within the
judicial branch of government, as currently understood, is opposed by the
Oakland County Board of Commissioners, in consultation with its County Clerk,
as the function of record keeping is effectively managed by County Clerk•s
office, a constitutionally created public office (Michigan Constitution Art VI,
Section 14) and is professionally staffed, has the advantages of the County•s
Information Technology Systems, and is locally accessible to continued rapid
developments in the fast moving info-sharing field; and
WHEREAS Oakland County wishes to maintain its level of technical and
service excellence, not to be reduced to the lowest common denominator often
inherent in attempted centralization and consolidation effort a statewide basis
can involve; and
WHEREAS the Supreme Court, despite having sole authority over rule-making
for court organization, changed without extensive prior publication or known
requests for comments from the bar the Chief Judge rule, wherein the Chief
Judge of a local circuit court is now selected by the Supreme Court, instead of
having approval power over chief judge selection; and
WHEREAS continued diminished ability of the local circuit courts to
select their own chief judge does not facilitate improved communication between
the legislative and judicial aspects of county government; and
WHEREAS criticism from the legal community and bench of the Supreme
Court•s proposed reforms is understandably muted, and, in the case of the Chief
Judge Rule, same not having been offered for comment or criticism at all,
making constructive comment by directly elected representatives of the people
of enhanced value in further court reform policy development.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners does hereby express its grave concern and qualified opposition to
the Michigan Supreme Court•s proposal to alter the management and organization
of court support services without thorough consideration of its impact upon
county government and its operations.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this resolution be sent
to all of Oakland County•s legislators, the Senate Judiciary Committee, the
House Judiciary and Civil Rights Committee, the State Court Administrator,
Oakland County Court Administrator, County Clerk and the County•s Legislative
Agent.

IN RE: ESTABLISHMENT OF STUDENT GOVERNMENT DAY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS there is no greater natural resource a community can possess than
a generation of young people who are committed to enriching our society through
community leadership and a deep commitment to civic spirit through service to
others; and
WHEREAS excellence in local government citizenship is dependent on a
knowledge of local government, and for many the role and operation of County
government is enigmatic; and
WHEREAS recognizing the National Association of Counties• position that
counties are the only units of government in America which are large enough to
cope and small enough to care, County government is most likely the local
government of the future; and
WHEREAS the Rotary service organization of Farmington/Farmington Hills
has, for the past 14 years, sponsored and organized with the City of Farmington
Hills and the City of Farmington a student government day that is an exemplary
model of student governmental education; and
WHEREAS the establishment of a program similarly modeled to that in
Farmington/Farmington Hills will provide students with the opportunity to
assume the responsibilities of elected officials, the judiciary, and County
administrative staff for a day, and would beneficially inform our young people
of how integral parts of their government perform on a daily basis.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners does hereby establish a Student County Government Day to be held
annually during Michigan Week, or other appropriate date during the school
year.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the General Government Committee be directed
to work with the County-wide Elected Officials and the Intermediate School
District to provide a meaningful student county government day educational
experience for Oakland County•s young citizens.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the services of the County Executive•s Media
and Communications Director be sought to coordinate this Student Government Day
program.
