1939, as amended ("Act 342"), the County of Oakland (the "County") has issued its
Evergreen-Farmington Sewage Disposal System Bonds (Amy Relief Sewers), dated

$3,425,000 to defray part of the cost of acquiring and constructing certain
improvements to the Evergreen and Farmington Sewage Disposal System pursuant to
certain contracts (the "Contracts") among the City of Bloomfield Hills and the
Charter Township of Bloomfield (the "Municipalities"), the City of Auburn Hills,
and the County; and
WHEREAS the Prior Bonds remain outstanding in the aggregate principal
amount of $2,400,000 mature in various principal amounts on May 1 in the years
2000 through 2009 and bear interest at rates per annum that vary from 6.00% to
6.60%; and
WHEREAS Chapter VI of Act No. 202, Public Acts of Michigan, 1943, as
amended ("Act 202") authorizes the County to refund all or any part of its funded
indebtedness; and
WHEREAS the County has received requests from the Municipalities to refund
all or part of the outstanding Prior Bonds; and
WHEREAS it is in the best interests of the County and the Municipalities
that the Prior Bonds maturing in the years 2000 through 2009 be refunded.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:
1. AUTHORIZATION OF BONDS PURPOSE. Bonds of the County (the
"Refunding Bonds") aggregating the principal sum of not to exceed Two Million
Eight Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($2,840,000) shall be issued and sold
pursuant to the provisions of Act 202, and other applicable statutory provisions,
for the purpose of refunding all or part of the outstanding Prior Bonds maturing
in the years 2000 through 2009.
2. BOND DETAILS. The Refunding Bonds shall be designated Oakland County
Refunding Bonds (Evergreen-Farmington Amy Relief Sewers); shall be in the
principal amount and shall be dated as of such date as shall be determined by
County Drain Commissioner as County Agency at the time of sale; shall be numbered
from l upwards; shall be fully registered; shall be in the denomination of $5,000
each or any integral multiple thereof not exceeding the aggregate principal
amount for each maturity at the option of the purchaser thereof; shall bear
interest at a rate or rates not exceeding 6% per annum to be determined upon the
sale thereof payable on such dates as shall be determined at the time of sale;
and shall mature on such dates and in such amounts as shall be determined at the

3. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. The principal of and interest on

to the registered owner of each bond as shown on the registration books at the
close of business on the fifteenth day of the calendar month preceding the month
in which the interest payment is due. Interest shall be paid when due by check
or draft drawn upon and mailed by the bond registrar and paying agent to the
registered owner at the registered address.
4. BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM. Initially, one fully-registered bond for each
maturity, in the aggregate amount of such maturity, shall be issued in the name
of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") for the benefit
of other parties (the "Participants") in the book-entry-only transfer system of
DTC. In the event the County determines that it is in the best interest of the
County not to continue the book-entry system of transfer or that the interests of
the holders of the bonds might be adversely affected if the book-entry system of
transfer is continued, the County may notify DTC and the bond registrar and
paying agent, whereupon DTC will notify the Participants of the availability
through DTC of bond certificates. In such event, the bond registrar and paying
agent shall deliver, transfer and exchange bond certificates as requested by DTC
and any Participant or "beneficial owner" in appropriate amounts in accordance
with this Resolution. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services
with respect to the bonds at any time by giving notice to the County and the bond

registrar and paying agent and discharging its responsibilities with respect
thereto under applicable law or the County may determine that DTC is incapable of
discharging its duties and may so advise DTC. In either such event, the County
shall use reasonable efforts to locate another securities depository. Under such
circumstances (if there is no successor securities depository), the County and
the bond registrar and paying agent shall be obligated to deliver bond
certificates in accordance with the procedures established by this Resolution.
In the event bond certificates are issued, the provisions of this Resolution
shall apply to, among other things, the transfer and exchange of such
certificates and the method of payment of principal of and interest on such
certificates. Whenever DTC requests the County and the bond registrar and paying
agent to do so, the County and the bond registrar and paying agent shall
cooperate with DTC in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice to make
available one or more separate certificates evidencing the bonds to any
Participant having bonds certified to its DTC account or to arrange for another
securities depository to maintain custody of certificates evidencing the bonds.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution to the contrary, so
long as any bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all
payments with respect to the principal of, interest on and redemption premium, if
any, on such bonds and all notices with respect to the bonds shall be made and
given, respectively, to DTC as provided in the Letter of Representations relating
to the bonds among DTC, the County and the bond registrar and paying agent. The
County Agency or the County Treasurer is authorized to sign the Letter of
Representations on behalf of the County, in such form as the County Agency or the
County Treasurer deems necessary or appropriate in order to accomplish the
issuance of the bonds in accordance with law and this Resolution.
5. PRIOR REDEMPTION. The Refunding Bonds shall be subject to redemption
prior to maturity upon such terms and conditions as shall be determined at the
time of sale.
6. BOND REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT. The County Treasurer shall
designate and enter into an agreement with a bond registrar and paying agent for
the Refunding Bonds that shall be a bank or trust company located in the State of
Michigan that is qualified to act in such capacity under the laws of the United
States of America or the State of Michigan. The Treasurer may from time to time
as required designate a similarly qualified successor bond registrar and paying
agent.

Chairman of the Board of Commissioners and the County Clerk and authenticated by

paying agent, and the seal of the County (or a facsimile thereof) shall be

been executed and authenticated, they shall be delivered by the County Treasurer
to the purchaser upon receipt of the purchase price. Additional Refunding Bonds
bearing the facsimile signatures of the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners
and the County Clerk and upon which the seal of the County (or a facsimile
thereof) is impressed or imprinted may be delivered to the bond registrar and
paying agent for authentication and delivery in connection with the exchange or
transfer of the Refunding Bonds. The bond registrar and paying agent shall
indicate on each Refunding Bond the date of its authentication.
8. EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF BONDS. Any Refunding Bond, upon surrender
thereof to the bond registrar and paying agent with a written instrument of
transfer satisfactory to the bond registrar and paying agent duly executed by the
registered owner or his duly authorized attorney, at the option of the registered
owner thereof, may be exchanged for Refunding Bonds of any other authorized
denominations of the same aggregate principal amount and maturity date and
bearing the same rate of interest as the surrendered Refunding Bond.
Each Refunding Bond shall be transferable only upon the books of the
County, which shall be kept for that purpose by the bond registrar and paying
agent, upon surrender of such Refunding Bond together with a written instrument
of transfer satisfactory to the bond registrar and paying agent duly executed by

delivers a new Refunding Bond pursuant to this section, payment of interest on
the Refunding Bonds is in default, the bond registrar and paying agent shall
endorse upon the new Refunding Bond the following: "Payment of interest on this
bond is in default. The last date to which interest has been paid is __________,

person in whose name any Refunding Bond shall be registered upon the books of the
County as the absolute owner of such Refunding Bond, whether such Refunding Bond
shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of
and interest on such Refunding Bond and for all other purposes, and all payments
made to any such registered owner, or upon his order, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3 of this Resolution shall be valid and effectual to
satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Refunding Bond to the extent of the
sum or sums so paid, and neither the County nor the bond registrar and paying
agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The County agrees to
indemnify and save the bond registrar and paying agent harmless from and against
any and all loss, cost, charge, expense, judgment or liability incurred by it,
acting in good faith and without negligence hereunder, in so treating such
registered owner.
For every exchange or transfer of Refunding Bonds, the County or the bond
registrar and paying agent may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any
tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such
exchange or transfer, which sum or sums shall be paid by the person requesting
such exchange or transfer as a condition precedent to the exercise of the
privilege of making such exchange or transfer.
The bond registrar and paying agent shall not be required to transfer or
exchange Refunding Bonds or portions of Refunding Bonds that have been selected
for redemption.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:
1. AUTHORIZATION OF BONDS PURPOSE. Bonds of the County (the
"Refunding Bonds") aggregating the principal sum of not to exceed Ten Million Two
Hundred Ninety Thousand Dollars ($10,290,000) shall be issued and sold pursuant
to the provisions of Act 202, and other applicable statutory provisions, for the
purpose of refunding all or part of the outstanding 1990 Prior Bonds maturing in

years 2003 through 2013, and the outstanding 1994-B Prior Bonds maturing in the
years 2003 through 2013.
2. BOND DETAILS. The Refunding Bonds shall be designated Oakland County
Refunding Bonds (City of Orchard Lake Village 1999); shall be in the principal
amount and shall be dated as of such date as shall be determined by County
Drain Commissioner as County Agency at the time of sale; shall be numbered from l
upwards; shall be fully registered; shall be in the denomination of $5,000 each
or any integral multiple thereof not exceeding the aggregate principal amount for
each maturity at the option of the purchaser thereof; shall bear interest at a
rate or rates not exceeding 6% per annum to be determined upon the sale thereof
payable on such dates as shall be determined at the time of sale; and shall
mature on such dates and in such amounts as shall be determined at the time

3. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. The principal of and interest on
the Refunding Bonds shall be payable in lawful money of the United States.
Principal shall be payable upon presentation and surrender of the bonds to the
bond registrar and paying agent as they severally mature. Interest shall be paid
to the registered owner of each bond as shown on the registration books at the
close of business on the fifteenth day of the calendar month preceding the month

or draft drawn upon and mailed by the bond registrar and paying agent to the
registered owner at the registered address.
4. BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM. Initially, one fully-registered bond for each
maturity, in the aggregate amount of such maturity, shall be issued in the name
of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") for the benefit
of other parties (the "Participants") in the book-entry-only transfer system of
DTC. In the event the County determines that it is in the best interest of the
County not to continue the book-entry system of transfer or that the interests of
the holders of the bonds might be adversely affected if the book-entry system of
transfer is continued, the County may notify DTC and the bond registrar and
paying agent, whereupon DTC will notify the Participants of the availability
through DTC of bond certificates. In such event, the bond registrar and paying
agent shall deliver, transfer and exchange bond certificates as requested by DTC
and any Participant or "beneficial owner" in appropriate amounts in accordance
with this Resolution. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services
with respect to the bonds at any time by giving notice to the County and the bond
registrar and paying agent and discharging its responsibilities with respect
thereto under applicable law or the County may determine that DTC is incapable of
discharging its duties and may so advise DTC. In either such event, the County
shall use reasonable efforts to locate another securities depository. Under such
circumstances (if there is no successor securities depository), the County and
the bond registrar and paying agent shall be obligated to deliver bond
certificates in accordance with the procedures established by this Resolution.
In the event bond certificates are issued, the provisions of this Resolution
shall apply to, among other things, the transfer and exchange of such
certificates and the method of payment of principal of and interest on such
certificates. Whenever DTC requests the County and the bond registrar and paying
Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 15, 1999
260
agent to do so, the County and the bond registrar and paying agent shall
cooperate with DTC in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice to make
available one or more separate certificates evidencing the bonds to any
Participant having bonds certified to its DTC account or to arrange for another
securities depository to maintain custody of certificates evidencing the bonds.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution to the contrary, so
long as any bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all
payments with respect to the principal of, interest on and redemption premium, if
any, on such bonds and all notices with respect to the bonds shall be made and
given, respectively, to DTC as provided in the Letter of Representations relating
to the bonds among DTC, the County and the bond registrar and paying agent. The
County Agency or the County Treasurer is authorized to sign the Letter of
Representations on behalf of the County, in such form as the County Agency or the
County Treasurer deems necessary or appropriate in order to accomplish the
issuance of the bonds in accordance with law and this Resolution.
5. PRIOR REDEMPTION. The Refunding Bonds shall be subject to redemption
prior to maturity upon such terms and conditions as shall be determined at the
time of sale.

paying agent.

and the County Clerk and upon which the seal of the County (or a facsimile
thereof) is impressed or imprinted may be delivered to the bond registrar and
paying agent for authentication and delivery in connection with the exchange or
transfer of the Refunding Bonds. The bond registrar and paying agent shall
indicate on each Refunding Bond the date of its authentication.
8. EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF BONDS. Any Refunding Bond, upon surrender
thereof to the bond registrar and paying agent with a written instrument of
transfer satisfactory to the bond registrar and paying agent duly executed by the
registered owner or his duly authorized attorney, at the option of the registered
owner thereof, may be exchanged for Refunding Bonds of any other authorized
denominations of the same aggregate principal amount and maturity date and
bearing the same rate of interest as the surrendered Refunding Bond.
Each Refunding Bond shall be transferable only upon the books of the
County, which shall be kept for that purpose by the bond registrar and paying
agent, upon surrender of such Refunding Bond together with a written instrument

and shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee a new Refunding Bond or

satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Refunding Bond to the extent of the
sum or sums so paid, and neither the County nor the bond registrar and paying
agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The County agrees to
indemnify and save the bond registrar and paying agent harmless from and against
any and all loss, cost, charge, expense, judgment or liability incurred by it,
acting in good faith and without negligence hereunder, in so treating such
registered owner.
For every exchange or transfer of Refunding Bonds, the County or the bond
registrar and paying agent may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any
tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such
exchange or transfer, which sum or sums shall be paid by the person requesting
such exchange or transfer as a condition precedent to the exercise of the
privilege of making such exchange or transfer.
The bond registrar and paying agent shall not be required to transfer or
exchange Refunding Bonds or portions of Refunding Bonds that have been selected

IN RE: COUNTY TREASURER RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE OAKLAND COUNTY REFUNDING

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS pursuant to the provisions of Act No. 342, Public Acts of Michigan,
1939, as amended ("Act 342"), the County of Oakland (the "County") has issued its
Evergreen-Farmington Sewage Disposal System (Segment I & II) Bonds, dated
December 1, 1990 (the "Prior Bonds"), in the original principal amount of
$12,650,000 to defray part of the cost of acquiring and constructing certain
improvements to the Evergreen and Farmington Sewage Disposal Systems pursuant to
certain contracts (the "Contracts") among the City of Bloomfield Hills, the
Village of Beverly Hills, the Charter Township of West Bloomfield, the City of
Farmington Hills, and the City of Southfield (collectively, the
"Municipalities"), certain other municipalities in the County, and the
County; and
WHEREAS the Prior Bonds remain outstanding in the aggregate principal
amount of $9,950,000 mature in various principal amounts on November 1 in the
years 1999 through 2009 and bear interest at rates per annum that vary from 5.50%
to 6.80%; and
WHEREAS Chapter VI of Act No. 202, Public Acts of Michigan, 1943, as
amended ("Act 202") authorizes the County to refund all or any part of its funded
indebtedness; and
WHEREAS the County has received requests from the Municipalities to refund
all or part of the outstanding Prior Bonds; and
WHEREAS it is in the best interests of the County and the Municipalities
that the Prior Bonds maturing in the years 2000 through 2009 be refunded.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:
1. AUTHORIZATION OF BONDS PURPOSE. Bonds of the County (the
"Refunding Bonds") aggregating the principal sum of not to exceed Ten Million
Three Hundred Ninety-Five Thousand Dollars ($10,395,000) shall be issued and sold
pursuant to the provisions of Act 202, and other applicable statutory provisions,
for the purpose of refunding all or part of the outstanding Prior Bonds maturing
in the years 2000 through 2009.
2. BOND DETAILS. The Refunding Bonds shall be designated Oakland County
Refunding Bonds (Evergreen-Farmington Segment I & II); shall be in the principal
amount and shall be dated as of such date as shall be determined by County Drain
Commissioner as County Agency at the time of sale; shall be numbered from l
upwards; shall be fully registered; shall be in the denomination of $5,000 each
or any integral multiple thereof not exceeding the aggregate principal amount for
each maturity at the option of the purchaser thereof; shall bear interest at a
rate or rates not exceeding 6% per annum to be determined upon the sale thereof
payable on such dates as shall be determined at the time of sale; and shall
mature on such dates and in such amounts as shall be determined at the time
of sale.
3. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. The principal of and interest on
the Refunding Bonds shall be payable in lawful money of the United States.
Principal shall be payable upon presentation and surrender of the bonds to the
bond registrar and paying agent as they severally mature. Interest shall be paid
to the registered owner of each bond as shown on the registration books at the
close of business on the fifteenth day of the calendar month preceding the month
in which the interest payment is due. Interest shall be paid when due by check
Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 15, 1999
266
or draft drawn upon and mailed by the bond registrar and paying agent to the
registered owner at the registered address.
4. BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM. Initially, one fully-registered bond for each
maturity, in the aggregate amount of such maturity, shall be issued in the name
of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") for the benefit
of other parties (the "Participants") in the book-entry-only transfer system of
DTC. In the event the County determines that it is in the best interest of the
County not to continue the book-entry system of transfer or that the interests of
the holders of the bonds might be adversely affected if the book-entry system of
transfer is continued, the County may notify DTC and the bond registrar and
paying agent, whereupon DTC will notify the Participants of the availability
through DTC of bond certificates. In such event, the bond registrar and paying
agent shall deliver, transfer and exchange bond certificates as requested by DTC
and any Participant or "beneficial owner" in appropriate amounts in accordance
with this Resolution. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services
with respect to the bonds at any time by giving notice to the County and the bond
registrar and paying agent and discharging its responsibilities with respect
thereto under applicable law or the County may determine that DTC is incapable of
discharging its duties and may so advise DTC. In either such event, the County
shall use reasonable efforts to locate another securities depository. Under such
circumstances (if there is no successor securities depository), the County and
the bond registrar and paying agent shall be obligated to deliver bond
certificates in accordance with the procedures established by this Resolution.
In the event bond certificates are issued, the provisions of this Resolution
shall apply to, among other things, the transfer and exchange of such
certificates and the method of payment of principal of and interest on such
certificates. Whenever DTC requests the County and the bond registrar and paying
agent to do so, the County and the bond registrar and paying agent shall
cooperate with DTC in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice to make
available one or more separate certificates evidencing the bonds to any
Participant having bonds certified to its DTC account or to arrange for another
securities depository to maintain custody of certificates evidencing the bonds.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution to the contrary, so
long as any bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all
payments with respect to the principal of, interest on and redemption premium, if
any, on such bonds and all notices with respect to the bonds shall be made and
given, respectively, to DTC as provided in the Letter of Representations relating
to the bonds among DTC, the County and the bond registrar and paying agent. The
County Agency or the County Treasurer is authorized to sign the Letter of
Representations on behalf of the County, in such form as the County Agency or the
County Treasurer deems necessary or appropriate in order to accomplish the
issuance of the bonds in accordance with law and this Resolution.
5. PRIOR REDEMPTION. The Refunding Bonds shall be subject to redemption
prior to maturity upon such terms and conditions as shall be determined at the
time of sale.
6. BOND REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT. The County Treasurer shall
designate and enter into an agreement with a bond registrar and paying agent for
the Refunding Bonds that shall be a bank or trust company located in the State of
Michigan that is qualified to act in such capacity under the laws of the United
States of America or the State of Michigan. The Treasurer may from time to time
as required designate a similarly qualified successor bond registrar and paying
agent.
7. EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY OF BONDS. The Refunding Bonds
shall be executed in the name of the County by the facsimile signatures of the
Chairman of the Board of Commissioners and the County Clerk and authenticated by
the manual signature of an authorized representative of the bond registrar and
paying agent, and the seal of the County (or a facsimile thereof) shall be
impressed or imprinted on the Refunding Bonds. After the Refunding Bonds have
been executed and authenticated, they shall be delivered by the County Treasurer
to the purchaser upon receipt of the purchase price. Additional Refunding Bonds
bearing the facsimile signatures of the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners
and the County Clerk and upon which the seal of the County (or a facsimile
thereof) is impressed or imprinted may be delivered to the bond registrar and
paying agent for authentication and delivery in connection with the exchange or
Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 15, 1999

transfer of the Refunding Bonds. The bond registrar and paying agent shall
indicate on each Refunding Bond the date of its authentication.
8. EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF BONDS. Any Refunding Bond, upon surrender
thereof to the bond registrar and paying agent with a written instrument of
transfer satisfactory to the bond registrar and paying agent duly executed by the
registered owner or his duly authorized attorney, at the option of the registered
owner thereof, may be exchanged for Refunding Bonds of any other authorized
denominations of the same aggregate principal amount and maturity date and
bearing the same rate of interest as the surrendered Refunding Bond.
Each Refunding Bond shall be transferable only upon the books of the
County, which shall be kept for that purpose by the bond registrar and paying
agent, upon surrender of such Refunding Bond together with a written instrument
of transfer satisfactory to the bond registrar and paying agent duly executed by
the registered owner or his duly authorized attorney.
Upon the exchange or transfer of any Refunding Bond, the bond registrar and
paying agent on behalf of the County shall cancel the surrendered Refunding Bond
and shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee a new Refunding Bond or
Bonds of any authorized denomination of the same aggregate principal amount and
maturity date and bearing the same rate of interest as the surrendered Refunding
Bond. If, at the time the bond registrar and paying agent authenticates and
delivers a new Refunding Bond pursuant to this section, payment of interest on
the Refunding Bonds is in default, the bond registrar and paying agent shall
endorse upon the new Refunding Bond the following: "Payment of interest on this
bond is in default. The last date to which interest has been paid is __________,
____."
The County and the bond registrar and paying agent may deem and treat the
person in whose name any Refunding Bond shall be registered upon the books of the
County as the absolute owner of such Refunding Bond, whether such Refunding Bond
shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of
and interest on such Refunding Bond and for all other purposes, and all payments
made to any such registered owner, or upon his order, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3 of this Resolution shall be valid and effectual to
satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Refunding Bond to the extent of the
sum or sums so paid, and neither the County nor the bond registrar and paying
agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The County agrees to
indemnify and save the bond registrar and paying agent harmless from and against
any and all loss, cost, charge, expense, judgment or liability incurred by it,
acting in good faith and without negligence hereunder, in so treating such
registered owner.
For every exchange or transfer of Refunding Bonds, the County or the bond
registrar and paying agent may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any
tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such
exchange or transfer, which sum or sums shall be paid by the person requesting
such exchange or transfer as a condition precedent to the exercise of the
privilege of making such exchange or transfer.
The bond registrar and paying agent shall not be required to transfer or
exchange Refunding Bonds or portions of Refunding Bonds that have been selected
for redemption.

13. PAYMENT OF ISSUANCE EXPENSES - ESCROW FUND. The remainder of the

necessary steps to pay the interest on the Prior Bonds that are refunded when due

outstanding matured Refunding Bond is lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully
taken, the Treasurer may authorize the bond registrar and paying agent to pay the
Refunding Bond without presentation upon the receipt of the same documentation
required for the delivery of a replacement Refunding Bond. The bond registrar
and paying agent, for each new Refunding Bond delivered or paid without

IN RE: INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY - ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION FOR OVERTIME EXEMPT
EMPLOYEES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS it is anticipated that the project roll out phase of CLEMIS will
require Information Technology employees who are overtime exempt (not eligible
for overtime) to work extended hours, days and weekends on an ongoing basis for a
period up to 24-30 months; and
WHEREAS these anticipated demands have prompted discussion between the
Personnel Department, Management and Budget and Information Technology regarding
additional compensation to offset the inconvenience of providing this level of
service for the duration described; and
WHEREAS as employees assigned to the CLEMIS effort work in various
divisions within Information Technology, and it is important that all staff at
Information Technology be treated comparably, it is proposed that additional
compensation be provided to all overtime exempt employees at
Information Technology (excluding Managers and the Director) for hours worked
beyond a 48 hour workweek (hours worked beyond 48 in a workweek must be pre-
approved by supervision in order to be compensable) at a straight time hourly
rate for the duration of the CLEMIS roll out phase; and
WHEREAS as Information Technology has the ability to track the number of
hours worked on various projects through its project management system, it is
proposed that this additional compensation provision be reviewed after a period
of one year to evaluate its effectiveness and to consider continuation for the
balance of the CLEMIS roll out period (after which time it is anticipated that
this additional compensation will end).

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:
The Personnel Committee, having reviewed the above-referenced resolution on
June 2, 1999, recommends to the Oakland County Board of Commissioners the
resolution be adopted after amending the NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED paragraph
as follows:
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 IN THE CASE WHERE THERE IS NO SPOUSE OF RECORD AT THE TIME
OF RETIREMENT BUT THERE ARE DEPENDENT CHILDREN, 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.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Personnel Committee, I move the acceptance of
the foregoing report.

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: CIRCUIT COURT/FRIEND OF THE COURT DIVISION - IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CHILD
SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT SYSTEM
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Michigan Family Independence Agency (FIA) is charged with Child
Support Enforcement administration and is responsible for the development,
implementation and support of the application called Child Support Enforcement
System (CSES); and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 15, 1999
301
WHEREAS CSES is a comprehensive statewide child support system, including
centralized collections and disbursements, which will meet all Federal system
requirements and will be installed in all components of the Michigan IV-D
program: Office of Child Support central office, Friend of the Court offices,
Office of Child Support field offices and Prosecuting Attorney offices; and
WHEREAS annual statewide activity results in approximately 12 million
transactions, over 836,000 cases, and $1.3 billion in collections. Of the
83 counties in Michigan, 68 are currently using CSES, with the current plan that
all counties will be utilizing the system by October 1, 2000; and
WHEREAS previous failures to implement CSES within the federally required
time period (October 1, 1997) resulted in a 4% reduction in Title IV-D funds in
1998 and an additional 8% in 1999. The combined penalties for Fiscal Year 1998
and Fiscal Year 1999, amounting to $12.5 million, were absorbed by the State; and
WHEREAS the penalties for non-compliance continue to increase; 16%,
equivalent to $17.4 million for Fiscal Year 2000 and 24%, equivalent to
$25.5 million for Fiscal Year 2001; and
WHEREAS Senate Bill 365, FIA Budget Authorization, which has passed and
ordered enrolled includes a hold-harmless clause for county governments which
reads as follows:
A county shall be required to pay a penalty due to the State=s failure to
be in compliance with Federal child support enforcement system
requirements unless the county, Friend of the Court and the department
have a written agreement that outlines the county=s commitment to
participate in the federally required child support enforcement system and
the county complies with a timeline for completion established by the
department; and
WHEREAS FIA has entered into a contract with Oracle Corporation to perform
a High Volume Assessment of the large non-CSES counties, including Wayne,
Oakland, Macomb and Genesee Counties, which will serve as a blueprint for
migration to a future CSES system that meets the requirements of the Personal
Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) of 1996,
otherwise known as Welfare Reform; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners approved Miscellaneous Resolution #95043
(dated March 2, 1995) which supports the position taken by the Friend of the
Court Association requiring the State to resolve the operating and technical
problems in the Child Support Enforcement System (CSES) prior to implementation
in Oakland County; and
WHEREAS the resolution further resolved that CSES operating and technical
capabilities must be greater than the current computer system in place at the
Oakland County Friend of the Court prior to its implementation in Oakland County
and that all conversion costs shall be borne by the State of Michigan, and that
no additional staff shall be required after conversion applicable to the CSES
computer system; and
WHEREAS failure to participate may result in a system foisted upon Oakland
County that fails to meet the business needs of our clients; and
WHEREAS the County Executive recommends approval of this resolution.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners authorizes
Oakland County=s participation in the development and implementation of a Child
Support Enforcement System, including centralized collections and disbursements,
which meets the business needs of Oakland County, as well as the requirements of
the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA)
of 1996.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that execution of this resolution is as confirmed in
writing by Douglas E. Howard, Director of the Family Independence Agency, in his
attached letter dated June 28, 1999.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Public Services Committee, I move adoption of
the foregoing resolution.
