nPARTMFIis OF wAsiAotmEN7 AND BUDGET
From: Tim Soave, Manager, Fiscal Services Division
To: Members of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Subject: Voluntary Pay Donations - M.R. #09161
Date: September 2, 2009
As you are aware, M.R. #09161 was approved by Human Resources Committee on August 26
and is schedule to be reviewed by the Finance Committee on September 17. This resolution
encourages Commissioners to voluntarily contribute a portion of their salary, to the County, in an
amount that equates to the proposed general salary reduction of 2.5% for FY 2010 and another
2.5% for FY 2011. However since commissioners' salaries are based upon the calendar year, the
voluntary donation would begin in January 2010 and January 2011.
The Fiscal Services Payroll Unit has calculated the following amounts:
2010
Annual Commissioner Salary (from FY 2009 schedule)
2.5% deduction (annual contribution)
Bi-Weekly Contribution (26 pays)
2011
Annual Commissioner Salary (adjusted for 2010 deduction)
2.5% deduction (annual contribution)
Bi-Weekly Contribution (26 pays)
$33,782,00
$844.55
$32,48
$32,937.45
$823.43
$31.67
Should an individual commissioner wish to participate by donating a portion of their salary, there
are two methods to accomplish this:
The preferred method is simply authorizing a payroll deduction, This can be
accomplished by completing a deduction form (sample attached) and submitting that
form to Fiscal Services - Payroll. With the completion of the form, the amount of the
donation will be automatically removed from your check and donated on a bi-weekly
basis.
2. A commissioner could also send a check for the annual amount (or quarterly if they
prefer). Such a check should be made out to "The County of Oakland" with "pay
donation- listed on the memo line. That check could be sent directly to me at:

would result in revenue of $15,844 for FY 2010 and $20,700 for FY 2011.
