IN RE: RETIREMENT HEALTH CARE BENEFITS FOR EMPLOYEES IN THE DEFINED BENEFIT
RETIREMENT PLAN
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Miscellaneous Resolution #94292, adopted by the Board of
Commissioners on October 27, 1994 and signed by County Executive
L. Brooks Patterson on November 3, 1994, defines retirement health coverage for
all employees; and
WHEREAS Miscellaneous Resolution #94292 states the level of retirement
health coverage is determined by the date of hire and number of years of actual
service; and
WHEREAS the intent of Miscellaneous Resolution #94292 was to provide
employees choosing to transfer to the Defined Contribution Retirement Plan no
loss of retirement health coverage; and
WHEREAS an inconsistency has been found in the retirement health coverage
for named beneficiaries between Defined Benefit and Defined Contribution
Retirement plan participants; and
WHEREAS eliminating this inconsistency may benefit the named beneficiaries
and dependent children of long term employees; and
WHEREAS on September 26, 1996, the Oakland County Employees= Retirement
Board recommended this Board amend Miscellaneous Resolution #94292 to provide
health coverage for named beneficiaries after the retirement allowance stops for
all options of the Defined Benefit Retirement Plan; and
WHEREAS this recommendation was analyzed by the actuarial firm of Gabriel,
Roeder, Smith and Company; and
WHEREAS the actuary reported there is no need to appropriate funds to
implement this change.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Miscellaneous Resolution #94292 be
amended as follows:
Defined Benefit Plan - Retirement health care covers the employee
and their spouse of record at the time of retirement, both for their
lifetime.
If the retiree dies, the spouse will continue to receive health
coverage as long as the spouse was the spouse of record at the time of
retirement and was covered by the retiree=s health plan at the time of the
retiree=s death. If the surviving spouse were to remarry, the new spouse
could not be added to the County health care plan. A subsequent spouse of
the retiree can be added to the retiree=s health plan but would not be
eligible for health coverage upon the retiree=s death.
Dependent children of the retiree are eligible for continued health
coverage after the retiree=s death if they were covered by the retiree=s
health plan at the time of death and continue as dependents under the
spouse who was the spouse of record at the time of retirement, subject to
the requirements of the health plan. In the case where a spouse of record
is not named at the time of retirement, but a dependent child is named for
health coverage, the dependent child will be eligible for continued health
coverage upon the retiree=s death through the end of the year in which
they have their 25th birthday, if they were covered by the retiree=s
health plan at the time of death.
Children of the retiree whether natural, adopted or for which the
retiree is the legal guardian or provides principal support who were not
covered under the retiree=s health plan at the time of retirement may be
added at a later date. A surviving spouse may not subsequently add
children to the health care coverage.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

IN RE: (SUPPORT) HOUSE BILL 4032, TAX RELIEF FOR SENIOR CITIZENS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the homestead property tax credit or circuit breaker provides
taxpayers with an income tax credit for the amount of property taxes paid on
Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 29, 1999
178
their homesteads that exceed a certain percentage of household income; and for
seniors this credit is 100 percent of the amount by which property taxes exceed
3.5% of household income for those with household incomes over $6000; and
WHEREAS following a lifetime of hard work and sacrifices for their
families, our seniors, who often face severely reduced income in their
retirement, deserve greater consideration for their property tax burden; and
WHEREAS House Bill 4032, which is cosponsored by Representative Raczkowski,
would amend the Income Tax Act to increase the homestead property tax credit
available to persons 65 years of age and older, by calculating the credit using
3% of household income rather than 3.5%, and would phase out the $1200 credit
maximum by indexing that maximum to the rate of inflation.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
does hereby support House Bill 4032 to provide much-need property tax relief to
Michigan Senior Citizens.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this resolution be sent to
Oakland County=s legislators, lobbyists and the Michigan Association of Counties.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
