contract with Parlovecchio Building & Development, Inc. in the amount of
$5,526,900 for the General Construction Contract. The Committee again further
recommends funding the total project cost of $6,720,500, including contingency,

and
WHEREAS in accordance with Oakland County General Appropriations Act,
Section 22, which authorizes budget amendments for variances between the

amendments for variances between estimated revenue and projected expenditures,
adjustments are required; and
WHEREAS the Fiscal Year (FY) 2000 Third Quarter Financial Forecast has
identified several variances and budget amendments are recommended; and
WHEREAS the 52nd District Court is projected to be unfavorable in
expenditures, primarily due to an increased usage of Information Technology
Operations, unappropriated utility costs associated with the new building for

increased due to an increase in caseload and activity, which can be used to

sufficient favorability within the Judicial Support Division to offset the
unfavorable variances; and

BY: General Government Committee, Shelley Taub, Chairperson
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - ADDITIONAL JUDGESHIP FOR THE FIFTY-SECOND
DISTRICT COURT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County’s dynamic growth has contributed to increasing
caseloads in the Fifty-Second District Court; and
WHEREAS the Supreme Court Administrative Office (SCAO) has recommended
adding one judgeship to the Fifty-Second District Court to help manage the
increasing caseloads; and
WHEREAS the Legislature, indicating a willingness to accept the SCAO
recommendation, is considering two different legislative proposals,
Senate Bill 257 and House Bill 4207, both of which contemplate adding a judge
to the Fifty-Second District Court, First Division (52-1), which sits in the
City of Novi; and
WHEREAS Oakland County’s Novi court facility cannot accommodate an
additional judge without costly construction additions; and
WHEREAS Oakland County, as the Fifty-Second District Court funding unit,
will be required to pay any and all costs associated with construction
additions necessary to accommodate a new judge at the Novi court facility; and
WHEREAS neither the Oakland County Executive nor the Oakland County
Board of Commissioners support Senate Bill 257 or House Bill 4207 as currently
written because either would require immediate new construction at the Novi
facility; and
WHEREAS both the Oakland County Executive and the Oakland County Board
of Commissioners favor a more cost-effective plan for adding a judgeship to
the Fifty-Second District, one preserving the concept of local community
courts, yet not requiring costly new construction expenditures; and
WHEREAS both the Oakland County Executive and the Oakland County Board
of Commissioners support the realignment of election district boundaries
within the Fifty-Second District, the transferring the Townships of Highland,
White Lake and Rose from the 52/1 Election Division to the 52/2 Election
Division, and assigning the new judge to sit in the 52/2 Election
Division; and
WHEREAS moving the Townships of Highland, White Lake and Rose from the
52/1 Election Division to the 52/2 Election Division would balance the
workload between the Election Divisions and bring the 52/1 caseloads back to
the State average; and
WHEREAS moving the Townships of Highland, White Lake and Rose from the
52/1 Election Division to the 52/2 Election Division better preserves the
concept of a local community court, provides for a more centrally located
court and brings the transferred townships and their residents closer to
district court services.
