Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 15, 2014 *MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #14114 BY: Human Resources Committee, John Scott, Chairperson IN RE: HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT – RESOLUTION EXEMPTING OAKLAND COUNTY GOVERNMENT FROM THE PROVISIONS OF PA 152 OF 2011 FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2015 To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS PA 152 of 2011, the "Publically Funded Health Insurance Contribution Act" was enacted by the State of Michigan and given immediate effect on September 27, 2011; and WHEREAS PA 152 sets forth various options that public employers may follow when providing healthcare benefits to their eligible employees; and WHEREAS acting pursuant to specific provisions of Act 152, Oakland County government exercised its legal right to exempt itself from the Act for calendar year 2014; and WHEREAS the exemption was adopted in order to avoid the expense of conducting delayed open enrollment processes and to allow the County to continue making changes over time that yield significant reductions in health care costs in a manner that is fair to both taxpayers and employees; and WHEREAS the County Executive recommends that Oakland County again formally exercise its legal right to exempt itself from the Act for calendar year 2015; and WHEREAS Oakland County has a long history of proactive budget practices that have resulted in budgets that are balanced and fiscally sound, as demonstrated by decades of actual performance and our AAA Bond rating; and WHEREAS the structure of Act 152 makes acceptance of the cap formula for self-insured plans before the FY 2015 budget is adopted effectively impossible, for the reason that the State of Michigan Treasurer is not required under the Act to adjust the maximum payment permitted under Section 3 of Act 152 for each coverage category for medical benefit plan coverage years until October 1 of each year; and WHEREAS Act 152's October 1 date to adjust the maximum payment permitted is simply too late under the budget process mandated by Section 8 of 1973 P.A. 139, MCL 45.558(1) (d), which requires the County Executive to submit a proposed budget to the Board of Commissioners "...not less than 90 days prior to the next succeeding fiscal year", (i.e., by July 3, 2014), a date 90 days before the October 1 commencement of the next succeeding fiscal year; and WHEREAS the County’s self-funded medical costs for this year are below the State determined Cap levels for 2014, thus meeting the spirit of the legislation; and WHEREAS the County will look at its actual medical costs in 2015 to determine if a contribution increase is needed for 2016 and recommend changes in employee contributions if needed at that time; and WHEREAS the County Executive Recommended Triennial Budget for Fiscal Years 2015 - 2017 is balanced, maintains responsible general fund equity balances, and funds employee medical benefit plans within existing revenues. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that pursuant to the authority granted a county under Section 8 of Public Act 152 of 2011, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby exempts Oakland County from the requirements of PA 152 for calendar year 2015. Chairperson, on behalf of the Human Resources Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution. HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE (The vote for this motion appears on page 244.) *MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #14115 BY: Human Resources Committee, John Scott, Chairperson IN RE: HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT – OPEN ENROLLMENT MODIFICATIONS FOR 2015 To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS the Federal Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA) contains a multitude of requirements with various effective dates ranging from 2010 through 2018; and WHEREAS the County has been steadfast in monitoring, researching and implementing the provisions of the ACA as required by law; and

229

Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 15, 2014 WHEREAS for large employer self-funded medical plans such as Oakland County’s, the ACA requires that beginning in 2015 employee out-of-pocket maximums for medical, dental, prescription and vision coverage be combined and coordinated between insurance carriers; and WHEREAS beginning in 2015 out-of-pocket maximums will be limited to $6,600 for single coverage and $13,200 for two person or family coverage; and WHEREAS dental and vision plans can be considered excepted from this requirement if employees have the option of opting out of coverage; and WHEREAS our Dental coverage is already “excepted” because employees have the ability to opt-out of dental coverage; and WHEREAS in order for the County’s Vision coverage to be “excepted” from this ACA requirement it must also have the same option for employees to be able to opt-out if they so desire; and WHEREAS the County Executive recommends that the Board of Commissioners approve the option of allowing employees to opt-out of vision coverage if they so choose; and WHEREAS the other change the County Executive is recommending for 2015 Open Enrollment is to require employees that have dependents on the County’s medical plans to confirm each year during Open Enrollment whether or not their dependents (spouse and/or children) are still eligible for coverage; and WHEREAS the County recently conducted a Dependent Eligibility Verification audit; and WHEREAS the audit garnered the desired results of validating eligible dependents and removing non-verified dependents; and WHEREAS by requiring a proactive confirmation of dependents, we hope to alleviate the need to conduct an annual audit; and WHEREAS this will require that employees log into the Open Enrollment website and check a box confirming eligibility or indicating changes in status that would result in removal from coverage; and WHEREAS failure to confirm eligibility will result in the removal of such dependents from coverage, but will not change any other benefit elections; and WHEREAS confirmation statements will be sent to employees indicating continued eligibility or removal of dependents; and WHEREAS employees will be offered a final chance to confirm eligibility during the appeal period prior to the changes going into effect with the new plan year in January; and WHEREAS individuals removed from coverage will be offered the option of continuing coverage at their own expense through COBRA. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners authorizes, effective January 1, 2015, the option for employees to opt out of Vision coverage if they wish to do so. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that there will be no monetary incentive to opt out of vision coverage. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that employees who have dependents on the County’s medical plans will be required to attest to their continued eligibility in order for the dependents to remain on the plan each year. Chairperson, on behalf of the Human Resources Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

2. The Water Resources Commissioner applied for the SAW Grant per Misc. #13287. The total project cost of $2,350,000 includes $1,929,167 of grant funding and $420,833 in matching funds. The matching funds will be allocated to the appropriate sewer systems and the General Fund will incur a minimal cost of $25,000 associated for storm drains benefiting from the SAW Grant project.

3. The capital cost to upgrade WRC’s data management system related to Asset and Storm Water Management is estimated at $1,000,000.

4. The project is expected to be completed at the end of FY 2016 and future operating costs will be included in the drain equipment rates and charged to benefiting systems.

REPORT (MISC. #14086) BY: General Government Committee, Christine Long, Chairperson IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT FOR LEGISLATION GRANTING PROPERTY TAX RELIEF FOR BUSINESSES IMPACTED BY SEVERELY DETERIORATED ROADS To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: The General Government Committee, having reviewed the above referenced resolution on May 5, 2014, reports with the recommendation the resolution be amended to add a paragraph as follows:

“BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners directs the Oakland County legislative lobbyists to work with the Oakland County delegation to the Michigan legislature to develop a strategy for the introduction, drafting and passage of this proposed legislation.”

Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move the acceptance of the foregoing report. GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #14086 BY: Commissioner Nancy Quarles, District #17 and Mike Bosnic, District #16 RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT FOR LEGISLATION GRANTING PROPERTY TAX RELIEF FOR BUSINESSES IMPACTED BY SEVERLY DETERIORATED ROADS To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS the Michigan Transportation Asset Management Council reports that 25.4% of paved roads in Oakland County are rated “poor” or worse; and WHEREAS Michigan’s road system is chronically underfunded and poor roads are an indication of a need to invest in infrastructure, but conditions have worsened for some areas to the point where people can no longer wait for action; and WHEREAS conditions on some local roads have deteriorated so severely, motorists are now reluctant to use the road with the resulting losses of the economic and social benefits the road confers; and WHEREAS severely deteriorated roads are putting an undue burden on already struggling businesses and are often located in communities already dealing with economic challenges; and WHEREAS in 2010, a proposal was made jointly by Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson, the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce and members of the state legislature for legislation to provide property tax relief for businesses affected by long term road construction; and WHEREAS similar to the situation in 2010, businesses in Oakland County are suffering significant decreased sales due to road conditions and property tax relief is greatly needed; and WHEREAS severely deteriorated road conditions likely will require a long construction process and property tax relief should include consideration for the losses suffered by businesses during this time; and WHEREAS legislative action is needed now to help struggling businesspeople with decreased sales cope with the failure of government officials to properly maintain the roadways. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners calls upon Governor Snyder and members of the Michigan legislature to propose and adopt on an expedited schedule property tax relief for business owners along severely deteriorated roadways, appropriate to the level of decreased sales and length of delays caused by the conditions/repairs. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward copies of this adopted resolution to Governor Rick Snyder. the Oakland County delegation to the Michigan Legislature, the Michigan Association of Counties; the Road Commission of Oakland County; the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce; the City of Southfield and the Oakland County legislative lobbyists.

PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE Copy of Correspondence from Dan O’ Leary, Washington Township Supervisor, 2014-2015 Fire Dispatch Service Agreement Between the County of Oakland and the Charter Township of Washington and Schedule A – 2014 Sheriff’s Office Dispatch Specialist Incorporated by Reference. Original on file in County Clerk’s Office. FISCAL NOTE (MISC. #14105) BY: Finance Committee, Tom Middleton, Chairperson IN RE: SHERIFF'S OFFICE – CONTRACT FOR FIRE DISPATCH SERVICES FOR THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF WASHINGTON 2014 – 2015 To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: Pursuant to Rule XII-C of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed the above referenced resolution and finds:

1. Resolution establishes an agreement for fire dispatch services between the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office and the Charter Township of Washington, in Macomb County, beginning June 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015.

247


2. The dispatch services contract billing rates were established by the Miscellaneous Resolution #12021 titled SHERIFF’S OFFICE – ESTABLISHMENT OF DISPATCH SERVICES CONTRACT RATES – APRIL 1, 2012 THROUGH MARCH 31, 2015.

3. The contract rates established for the period of June 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015 will be billed at $4,368.00 per month.

4. The estimated budget is $17,472 for the remaining 4-months of FY 2014 and $52,416 for 12 months of FY 2015 and FY 2016 should this contract be renewed beyond the March 31, 2015 end date.

5. With this contract resolution the Sheriff is requesting the creation one (1) GFGP, FTE Dispatch Specialist positions in the Emergency Prep., Training and Communications division.
