BY: Personnel Committee, Thomas Law, Chairperson
IN RE: MERIT RULES 2.12 and 2.13 - REGISTERED ENGINEERS AND LAND SURVEYORS
BONUS, REQUEST TO INCREASE AMOUNT AND DELETE FROM MERIT RULES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Merit Rule 2.12 and 2.13 currently outline eligibility requirements
for a Registered Engineer’s bonus and a Land Surveyor’s bonus; and
WHEREAS this bonus amount has not been adjusted since originally
established in 1959; and
WHEREAS the salaries for classifications eligible for the bonus have
increased nearly 7 fold since 1959; and
WHEREAS labor market conditions indicate there is a shortage of Engineers
and Professional Land Surveyors; and
WHEREAS anticipated turnover due to retirements heightens the requirement
that our compensation package be competitive in order to recruit and retain
qualified employees; and
WHEREAS recently proposed adjustments to salaries provide for competitive
wages but they do not address the perquisite incentives being offered by private
sector employers with whom we compete for this limited labor pool; and
WHEREAS other additional compensation rewards approved by the Board of
Commissioners have not been incorporated into the Merit System Rules.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
approves the following additional compensation amounts for eligible employees in
the classifications listed below who are registered as Professional Engineers in
accordance with the eligibility requirements outlined in the attached document
(attachment A) titled “Additional Compensation for Registered Engineers and
Professional Land Surveyors”:

Asst. Chief Engineers $ 500 $3500
Chief Engineer-Drain $ 500 $3500
Manager-Eng.& Construct. None $3500
Manager-Oper.& Maint. None $3500
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
approves eligible employees who are registered as Professional Land Surveyors by
the State of Michigan and who use this registration in the performance of their
County job be eligible to receive additional compensation at the rate of $3500.00
per year with the exception of those who are also registered as Professional
Engineers and receiving the additional compensation for that registration.
Employees shall not be eligible to receive additional compensation for both
registrations (Professional Engineer and Professional Land Surveyor).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Merit Rule 2.12 and 2.13 be deleted from the
Merit System Rules (see attachment B • Proposed Change in Merit System Rule) and
be administered by the Personnel Department in accordance with the attached
document titled ”Additional Compensation for Registered Engineers and
Professional Land Surveyors”. Removal of these sections from the Merit System
Rules is consistent with the administration of other additional compensation
programs.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Merit System Rule changes must be submitted to
the Board of Commissioners at a regular meeting of the Board of Commissioners and
shall become effective thirty days after such meeting unless objection is
received in writing by the Chairperson of the Board of Commissioners in which

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County has historically demonstrated a commitment to
enhancing revenue capabilities; and
WHEREAS the Sheriff is proposing that the County enter into a contract with
a private firm to review and secure any additional Federal and other revenue
sources that could be captured or enhanced by the County and to work with the
County to secure those additional revenues in the areas of corrections; and
WHEREAS the professional services contract with Justice Benefits, Inc., is
on an enhanced revenue concept, meaning that no obligation for payment is
expected unless revenues are increased; and
WHEREAS the County is desirous of supplementing local tax dollars with
revenue enhancements to help defray the increasing costs of housing inmates; and
WHEREAS contracting with this firm would offer several strategic
advantages, including:
1) upgrade funding competitiveness and improve return of Federal
revenues in the corrections area,
2) establish integrated Federal revenue maximization in the
corrections area, and
3) provide the resources to search and retrieve the proper funding
that may be available for Oakland County in the Corrections
area; and
WHEREAS Corporation Counsel has reviewed the professional services contract
and is in agreement; and
WHEREAS acquisition of a professional services contract for Federal revenue
maximization to enhance funding in the corrections area for the County is
recommended by the County Executive.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
approves the professional services contract for Justice Benefits, Inc.

The General Government Committee, having reviewed the above-mentioned
resolution on December 6, 1999, recommends to the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners the resolution be amended as follows and be adopted as amended.
After the NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED paragraph add:
“BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be forwarded
to the County’s State legislators, the Michigan Association of Counties,
the Michigan Department of Corrections, the County’s lobbyists, and the
Governor’s Office.”
Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move the
acceptance of the foregoing report.
GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #99342
BY: Public Services Committee, Frank H. Millard, Chairperson
IN RE: FISCAL YEAR 1999/2000 REIMBURSEMENT CRITERIA FOR THE COUNTY JAIL
REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAM
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Public Act 92, the Fiscal Year 1999 Corrections Budget, requires
the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC), the Michigan Sheriff’s Association
(MSA), and the Michigan Association of Counties (MAC) to “…develop reimbursement
criteria (for the County Jail Reimbursement Program) based on sentencing
guideline scores and other offender characteristics that are consistent with the
intent of diverting felons who otherwise would have been sentenced to
prison;” and
WHEREAS the MDOC data establishes that CJRP reimbursements based on the
Prior Record Variable (PRV) score more accurately identifies a target population
that is prison bound and includes habitual offenders (PRV scores of 35 or greater
have a 90% incarceration rate and over a 50% prison admission rate); and
WHEREAS the role of state and local targeting policies is critical to the
data analysis pertaining to CJRP, and reimbursing for straddle cell felons with
PRV equal to or greater than 35 points is consistent with the policies of the
MDOC Office of Community Corrections and the MDOC Field Operations
Administration; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 16, 1999
588
WHEREAS the Oakland County Community Corrections Advisory Board (OCCCAB)
targeting policy for Public Act 511 programs includes felons who have a PRV equal
to or greater than 35 points; and
WHEREAS the MDOC data (9/15/99 Guideline Report) establishes that felons
who score in the Presumptive Prison range on the guidelines (i.e. have a min/min
of greater than 12 months) have a 97% incarceration rate and an 86% prison
admission rate; and
WHEREAS Public Act 92 establishes that OUIL III felons, including lock
outs, will be reimbursed as required by the appropriations as defined in the
County Jail Reimbursement Program (CJRP) [OUIL III have a prison admission of
only 15%]; and
WHEREAS MDOC data relative to straddle cell felons (i.e., have a min/min of
12 months or less and a min/max of greater than 18 months) likelihood of
incarceration shows that using lower range scores is not a productive approach to
determine the degree to which a felon is “prison bound”, the policy test for
CJRP; and
WHEREAS Oakland County government has collaborated to support efforts to
reduce jail overcrowding while at the same time cooperating with the State
entities involved with the criminal justice system as follows:
C The Oakland County Board of Commissioners has continuously provided
funding to further support the diversion of non-violent felony
offenders from prison and jail; and
C The County Executive has remained committed to the targeting
policies developed by the local CCAB in an effort to strengthen the
State and local partnership that must exist according to Public Act
511 of 1988; and
C The Sheriff’s Department has continued to provide additional
programming for non-violent offenders to reduce length of stay in
the Oakland County Jail thereby making room for the violent
offenders; and
C The 6th Circuit Court bench and Circuit Court Probation have embraced
Community Correction programs and collaborated with County efforts
to maximize local resources.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
supports the position of the Michigan Association of Counties that the
Fiscal Year 2000 reimbursement criteria under the County Jail Reimbursement
Program must include (1) Presumptive Prison felons, (2) OUIL III felons, and
(3) Straddle cell felons who have a PRV score of 35 points or more.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Judges of the 6th Circuit Court are
encouraged to:
C Sentence eligible straddle cell offenders to Public Act 511 programs
if incapacitation is not deemed necessary to protect the public
safety;
C Sentence straddle cell felons who require incarceration to the State
prison system rather than the County Jail unless the County receives
reimbursement for housing all straddle cell felons that are diverted
from prison.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the
County’s State legislators, the Michigan Association of Counties, the Michigan
Sheriff’s Association, the Michigan Department of Corrections, the County’s
lobbyists and the Governor’s office.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Public Services Committee, I move adoption of

Pursuant to Rule XII-C of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed
the above-referenced resolution and finds:
1. The Sheriff’s Department received a $20,000 donation from
Oakland Schools to be used for capital costs to transport a bomb dog
donated by Milk Bone, Inc.

radios equal $27,558. Yearly operating costs for the vehicle, MDT,
and radios equal $7,205. The difference between the capital cost
and the donation is $7,558, which would come from the contingency

Any additional operating costs not listed will come from the current
Sheriff’s Budget.
3. Since existing patrol staff will be used for this program, another

biennial budget should be amended as shown on the

IN RE: RESOLUTION SUPPORTING REPEAL OF UNIVERSAL SERVICE FUND/SCHOOL/LIBRARY
INTERNET CHARGE (A.K.A. THE AL GORE INTERNET TAX)
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Federal government taxes Oakland County residents long distance
telephone services at 3%; and
WHEREAS in addition, the Federal government taxes Oakland County residents
local telephone services at 3%; and
WHEREAS in addition, the Federal government imposes a Universal Service
Fund or School Library Internet Charge (a.k.a. the Al Gore Internet Tax) on
service providers, which charge is passed along to Oakland County residents as
telephone service users; and
WHEREAS in November 1999, the required contribution to the Internet Tax
Fund was increased, passed along to Oakland County residents, and now amounts to
as much as $1.38 per month; and
WHEREAS this ever-increasing Telephone Internet Tax, absolutely unconnected
to the provision of better telecommunications services, makes it difficult for
families, seniors and others on fixed, limited income to support the far more
essential local 911 emergency services telecommunications system; and
WHEREAS repealing the Federal Internet Tax would free up the fifty-seven
cents per month needed to support vital local E-911 services and result in an
additional eighty-one cents per month savings to residents.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
calls upon its Federal legislative delegation to repeal the Universal Service
Fund or School Library Internet Charge (a.k.a. the Al Gore Internet Tax)
immediately.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk is directed to forward
copies of this resolution to all of Michigan’s Federal legislators.
