C
B
A
Okay
before
we
move
on,
I
just
want
to
make
a
couple
of
points.
First
of
all,
I
sat
through
all
the
committee
meetings
yesterday,
which
went
way
long
and
a
lot
of
those
items
have
come
to
finance
today,
so
we're
gonna,
try
and
move
this
meeting
along.
Obviously,
edi
even
ran
long
too,
and
three
of
the
members
of
this
commission
sit
on
the
parks
commission,
which
is
scheduled
to
meet
at
two
o'clock,
and
I
really
want
to
accommodate
their
attempts
to
get
their
committee
together
too.
A
I
really
hope
we're
not
still
talking
at
two
o'clock.
So
with
that
it's
my
meeting,
I'm
gonna,
you
know
chop
chop
chop
chop.
I
I
just
want
to
make
one
other
point.
It
has
nothing
to
do
with
finance,
but
I
want
to
remind
everybody
who's
listening
today.
If
you
want
to
get
that
fourth
booster
to
your
covid,
come
on
over
to
our
health
department,
it's
walk
in
and
you
can
get
one
any
time
of
the
day.
A
A
A
Seeing
none?
I
need
a
motion.
Commissioner.
Sorry,
you
know
long.
I'm
sorry,
commissioner
long
supported
by
commissioner
charles,
I
know,
and
everybody's
got
names
in
front
of
them.
Okay,
so
there's
no
excuse
and
no
there's
not
all.
In
favor
of
approving
today's
agenda
say
aye
aye
opposed
a
agenda
is
approved
next
up
we
have
public
comment.
Is
anyone
from
the
public
here
that
wishes
to
address
the
committee?
A
C
I
don't
know
where
all
this
money
is
coming
from.
I
do
know
I
researched
the
federal
register
and
under
hud
it
says
the
grantee
agrees
to
assume
all
the
responsibilities
for
environmental
review
decision
making
and
the
actions
as
specified
and
required
in
regulations
issued
by
the
secretary
and
the
grantee
further
acknowledges
its
responsibility
for
adherence
to
the
agreement
by
sub-recipient
entities.
That's
a
very
important
thing
to
which
it
makes
funding
assistance
here
under
available.
C
I
think
that
just
means
all
of
you
guys
could
be
held
label
liable
if
you
give
out
federal
funds
that
aren't
eligible
to
be
given
out
and
I've
actually
seen
situations
where
I
have
reasons
to
question
whether
these
are
all,
in
fact
the
the
one
meeting
they
specifically
said.
All
the
workforce
development
money
was
available
for
the
refugees
and
immigrants
and
we
have
a
situation
where
we
have
we're
spending
more
than
our
revenues.
Currently,
nobody
wants
to
say
that,
but
it's
in
the
math
and
yet
we're
proposing
all
these
extraordinarily
expensive
programs
that
will
continue.
C
So
I've
actually
taken
some
pictures
of
video
I've
seen
how
beaumont
health
lake
oregon
complex
is
completely
up
for
lease
and
closed.
We
have
signs
all
over
the
place
with
big
parcels
for
zoning
change
proposed
in
fact,
on
brown
road.
My
most
offensive
thing.
They
took
out
the
entire
woods
for
acres
literally
acres
and
they
have
big
signs
that
say
proposed
zoning
change.
C
Oh,
my
goodness,
we're
supposed
to
be
talking
about
the
environment,
yet
we're
destroying
our
communities
of
the
residents
and
it's
really
offensive
in
the
next
in
the
page,
one
where,
like
between
158
and
today's
meeting
too
there's
how
they
expect
to
have
to
increase
the
taxes
for
inflation
now
mind
you,
we
just
have
been
increasing
salaries
right
and
left.
In
spite
of
the
fact
we
had
25
percent
of
our
businesses
as
of
june
9th
that
were
gone
post
coven.
So
why
are
we
increasing
expenses
of
salaries?
Why
are
we
spending
money
on
people?
C
A
Thank
you
for
your
comments.
Is
there
anyone
else
from
the
public
that
wishes
to
address
us
at
this
time
on
anything
on
today's
agenda?
Seeing
no
one,
I
will
close
public
comment.
We
will
move
on
to
communications.
I
need
a
motion
to
receive
and
file
the
communications
commissioner
mcgilvray
supported
by
commissioner
cavell.
B
A
Thank
you
motion
carries
next
up.
We
have
some
presentations
today.
First
is
item
8a
the
workday
financials
implementation
status,
reports
for
february
and
march
22
2022..
I
need
a
motion
commissioner
mcgilvray
supported
by
commissioner
long
to
receive
and
file
these
pr.
This
presentation,
yes
and
with
us
we
have
mr
kyle
jenn
and
mr
mike
tim
good
morning,
gentlemen,.
C
F
F
We'll
just
provide
a
quick
update
in
terms
of
status
on
the
workday
financial
project.
You
know
certainly
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
We
are,
as
we
sit
here
today,
basically
five
weeks
out
from
the
new
financial
system
going
live,
you
know,
so
this
is
a
very
busy
time
for
for
all
the
staff
involved
at
a
high
level.
F
We
are
moving
into
the
training
phase,
so
I
think
just
yesterday
was
the
first
training
session
for
county
staff
involved
in
financial
transactions,
whether
it
be
purchasing
grant
management,
expense
reports,
expense
reports,
you
know,
as
as
as
the
key
three
areas
that
will
affect
staff
outside
of
you
know,
folks,
who
do
financial
work
on
a
daily
basis,
so
that
training
is
happening
now
so
that
staff
are
prepared
to.
You
know
continue
with
the
county's
business
after
the
new
system
go
live,
it
goes
live.
F
I
would
just
note
there
are
three
risks
noted
there
is
one
red
box
on
this
report
that
that
box
is
read
basically
just
because
staff
are
working,
overtime
and
and
are
really
stretched
right
now.
You
know
that
comes
with
the
territory
for
a
project,
this
big,
so
you
know
we
should
take
the
opportunity
to
to
thank
all
of
the
staff
publicly
across
fiscal
services,
purchasing
the
treasurer's
office
and
and
mike's
team.
That's
that's
playing
a
major
support
role
for
for
all
their
efforts.
This
is
a
huge
endeavor.
F
I
mean
we're
moving
all
of
the
county's
financial
data
out
of
one
it
system
into
another,
it
system
ensuring
that
you
know
that
the
data's
all
there
and
you
know
that
that
the
business
of
the
county
can
continue
so
the
second
risk
there
is
integrations,
so
that
term
means
all
this
all
the
other
systems
the
county
has
that
involve
financial
transactions
has
to
be
able
to
talk
back
and
forth
and
move
data
we
are
in
in
good
shape
there.
F
The
one
key
item
is
that
the
treasurer's
office
devnet
system
is
going
live
this
month
and
then
we'll
have
to
integrate
in,
but
we
have
a
good
plan
that
a
we're
you
know
we're
confident,
that's
going
to
happen
and
b.
If
it
doesn't
happen,
there
are
contingency
plans
in
place
to
ensure
that
that
work
can
continue
and
then
the
last
key
risk
is
reporting.
I
think
this
goes
with
the
territory
on
a
project
like
this.
F
E
Nothing
significant
to
add
other
than
to
to
highlight
this
integration
piece.
You
know
that
is
an
area
that
we
have
been
working
on
extensively
and
and
in
those
cases
where
integrations
are
not
quite
ready
to
go
live.
We
have
also
worked
with
the
departments
to
make
sure
that
we
have
manual
procedures
basically
in
place
to
for
continue
continuity
of
operations
as
well
as
then
to
do
catch-up
transactions
within
a
month
or
two
after
the
go
live
as
the
new
system
integrations
do
work,
so
we
had.
E
I
think
it
was
in
the
order
of
55,
fairly
major
integrations
with
various
systems,
including
undoing
things.
As
you'll
recall,
we
implemented
workday
on
the
hr
side
nearly
two
years
ago,
so
we
have
been
doing
hr
functions
in
workday
for
that
period
of
time.
While
we
continue
to
do
the
financial
side
example
payroll,
we
had
to
build
an
interface
between
our
old
peoplesoft
system
and
workday,
so
that
people
would
get
paid,
as
well
as
with
the
treasurer's
office,
to
actually
remit
the
payments.
E
Those
integrations
need
to
be
undone
because
now
workday
will
handle
that
seamlessly
between
the
work
day,
financial
and
workday
hr.
So
so
that
has
all
been
tested
as
well,
so
it
is
a
herculean
effort
and
the
good
news
is,
I
think
the
team
sees
the
the
finish
line.
They
are
exhausted,
they're
exasperated,
but
but
there
is
an
end
in
sight
and
that's
that's.
I
think
the
the
hope
that
we
all
have
going
forward
the
end
to
end
testing
was
very
successful.
E
As
kyle
mentioned,
there
are
some
some
bumps
in
the
road,
but
nothing
nothing
that
will
prevent
us
from
continuing
to
operate
and
and
we'll
work
through
those
bumps
as
we
go
live.
So
thank
you
again
for
your
support.
A
E
E
Purchasing
systems
will
have
to
stop
for
a
short
period
of
time
and
or
do
some
manual
work
for
purchasing
so
that
we
don't
create
a
bunch
of
transactions
in
the
old
peoplesoft
system
that
we
then
have
no
way
to
to
move
into
workdays.
So
some
of
the
go
live
is
is
actually
starting
as
we
speak.
We're
kind
of
in
a
address
rehearsal
mode
starting
this
week
and
different
functions
will
slowly
have
a
a
stop
period
and
the
go
live
date.
E
When
I'm
going
to
start
submitting,
an
expense
report
will
be
may
9th
so
that
first
week
of
may
that
first
full
week
of
may
well,
I
guess
it's
the
second
week,
sorry
that
will
be
a
key
week
of
transactions
getting
caught
up,
but
we're
going
to
freeze
databases.
We've
got.
You
know
mountains
of
data
that
we
have
to
migrate
from
peoplesoft
into
workday
and
the
conversions
that
take
place.
So
some
of
that
is
starting
as
we
speak,.
A
Okay,
anybody
else
have
any
comments
or
questions
I'll
just
say
we're
all
happy
to
see
it.
Coming
to
a
close,
you
know,
amen,
and
I
would
I
was
trying
to
look
it
up,
but
I
didn't
find
it.
I
would
like
to
make
note
before
we
close
this
item
that
mr
tim
has
been
given
a
very
prestigious
award
in
the
world
of
I.t,
and
I
don't
know
what
it's
called,
but
I'd
like
you
to
tell
us
what
you
were
rewarded
for,
because
you
know
I
don't
know
geek
award
if
you.
A
Works
so
hard
to
keep
things
going
on
a
subject.
Most
of
us
are
all
kind
of
like
we're.
Trusting
you
guy,
you
know,
so
please
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
your
award
and
then
we'll
go
ahead
and
vote
on
your
item
here.
E
Thank
you,
commissioner.
So
so
yes,
there
is
an
organization
called
government
technology
which
is
is,
you
know,
focused
on.
It's
really
provides
an
opportunity
for
us
to
network
with
other
large
counties,
with
with
other
small
counties
with
the
large
cities
to
share
some
best
practices.
So
it
is
a
nationwide
organization
that
every
year
kind
of
nominates
and
they
have
a
review
process,
and
I
was
nominated
within
that
organization
for
some
of
the
work
that
that
we
do
as
a
county
in
that
organization.
E
In
fact,
I'll
be
at
a
conference
with
government
technology
next
week
and
yeah
the
award
is
top
25
doers
dreamers
and
drivers.
So
I
was
nominated
for
that
and
and
picked
for
that.
So.
E
Congratulations,
it's
really
thank
you,
but
it
really
is.
You
know
there
are
times
and-
and
you
all
know
this,
when
you
know
each
of
us
might
just
be
the
spokesperson,
we
might
be
the
you
know
the
person
the
face
of
an
organization,
but
there
are,
you
know
a
couple
hundred
it
professionals
that
actually
do
all
of
the
work
you
know
and
and
and
we
we.
We
are
a
very
passionate
organization.
E
A
A
F
Good
morning
again,
so
you
have
before
you
the
contingency
report.
This
is
a
report
that
we
provide
throughout
the
year
that
provides
an
update.
In
terms
of
you
know,
there
are
certain
contingency
accounts
and
the
balance
or
in
the
included
in
the
budget
each
year
you
know
for
dealing
with
with
with
unanticipated
smaller
cost
increases
that
may
occur
during
the
year.
This
provides
an
update.
F
There
are
not
a
lot
of
new
transactions
since
the
last
report
and
most
of
these
things
you've
seen
previously
as
resolutions
have
gone
through.
So
I
will
not
go
through
this
in
detail,
but
we're
happy
to
ask
questions.
Lynn
samkis
is
on
the
line.
If
there
are,
you
know
specific
questions
on
some
of
the
transactions.
A
F
All
right
there's
the
slide,
so
this
is
kind
of
like
opening
day.
I
think
for
our
process.
You
know
with
all
of
you
as
we
work
to
the
budget
for
the
upcoming
three
years
and
work
to
deliver
you
a
budget
recommendation
in
july
and
work
together
to
adopt
that
by
the
end
of
september.
So
you
can
feel
the
buzz
in
the
air.
F
Right
absolutely
so,
I
want
to
walk
you
through
if
we
can
move
to
the
next
slide.
The
the
agenda
for
today,
you
know
an
update
in
terms
of
some
of
the
key
economic
indicators
that
affect
our
budget,
particularly
on
the
property
tax
revenue
side
and
then
talk
about
what
the
actual
property
tax
values
that
have
come
in
for
this
year
are
and
how
those
affect
our
revenue
estimates
and
then
just
a
sneak
preview.
F
You
know
in
terms
of
what
our
continuing
goals
for
the
budget
are
and
what
our
approach
is
going
to
be
this
year
next
slide
economic
update.
We
can
move
to
the
first
chart.
F
You
know
over
the
course
of
the
year,
obviously
there's
a
seasonal
effect.
You
know
stronger
housing,
demand
and
sales
during
the
summer,
so
the
green
line
is
2018
trends.
The
blue
line
is
2019
trends
and
the
yellow
line
is
2020
trends
and
then
the
red
line
is
the
most
recent
year
in
2021
we're
working
on
getting
these
updated
with
the
last
few
months,
but
you
can
see
the
general
trend
for
the
year,
so
the
first
slide
here
is
the
number
of
listings.
F
F
If
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
though,
the
level
of
sales
is
actually
very
comparable
to
previous
years
in
2020,
you
can
see
the
dip
you
know
when,
when
covet
first
occurred,
but
other
than
that
it's
it's
been
pretty
stable
across
the
year
and
that
reflects
obviously
that
there's
strong,
you
know
strong
demand
out
there
in
the
housing
market
there
are
more
people
who
want
to
buy
a
house
than
there
are
houses
available,
so
sales
are
still
strong
on
the
next
slide.
F
You
know
that
basically
means
that
when
houses
are
on
the
market,
they're
moving
quickly
with
the
average
number
of
days
you
know
being
as
low
as
as
as
basically
three
weeks
and
this
slide
wouldn't
even
reflect
a
house
that
didn't
get
to
the
point
of
getting
listed,
and
you
know
we
know
there's
a
lot
of
sales
happening
like
that
through
through
word
of
mouth.
I
was
able
to
buy
my
house
actually
that
way
last
year.
F
So
all
of
that
then,
on
the
next
slide,
you
know
basic
laws
of
supply
and
demand
mean
that
prices
are
going
up.
So
you
can
see
the
red
line,
a
significant
increase
in
the
average
price
per
square
foot.
F
Compared
to
previous
years,
and
then
on
the
next
slide,
which
measures
the
sale
price
versus
the
list
price,
you
know
that
red
line
is
basically,
people
are
getting
at
least
what
they're
asking
for
their
houses,
and
you
can
see
that
you
know
during
the
period
of
high
sales
during
the
summer
last
year,
people
were
getting
above
list
price
and
again
these
are
averages.
We've
all
heard
the
stories
about
people
getting.
You
know
10
to
20
above
list
price,
but
the
average
data
bears
that
out.
F
So
you
know
all
of
that
is
to
say
you
know
a
very
strong
housing
sales
market
which
affects
you
know,
assessed
values,
you
know
and
those
those
values
all
pop
up
and
are
taxed
at
the
full
assessed
value.
F
F
If
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
this
is
a
long-term
trend
across
the
entire
southeast
michigan
level.
You
can
see
at
the
very
end
there
in
the
yellow.
You
know,
in
the
end
of
the
blue
actual
and
the
yellow
forecast,
we
are
seeing
slowing
permits
over
the
last
to
nine
months,
which
we
think
is
a
you
know:
a
function
of
supply
chain
issues
we're
about
over
the
last
nine
months.
We
are
about
30
percent
down.
F
From
the
same
nine
months
the
prior
year,
although
building
you
know,
although
declining
off
a
pretty
strong
base,
so
that's
certainly
a
variable
that
we
are
keeping
a
close
eye
on
going
forward
next
slide.
You
know.
Obviously,
the
topic
of
the
day
in
terms
of
the
economy
is
inflation.
F
This
chart
is
from
the
economist
at
the
university
of
michigan,
showing
you
know
the
spike
in
inflation
that
started
late
last
year
and
is
continuing
into
this
year.
We
are,
in
you
know,
pretty
unprecedented
territory.
This
chart
goes
back
to
the
1970s.
F
You
know
this
is
the
highest
level
of
inflation.
Certainly,
since
proposal
a
was
adopted
so
we're
paying
very
close
attention
in
terms
of
how
that
affects
the
mechanics
of
proposal
a
and
the
mechanics
of
headley
and
and
drives
our
revenue.
F
The
next
slide
is
a
forward-looking.
You
know
forecast,
so
this
data
is
based
on
a
monthly
survey
of
economists.
That
bloomberg
does
the
gray
line
is
actual
inflation
data,
so
you
can
see
2019
2020,
you
know
we
were
at
or
below
2,
which
is
pretty
consistent
with
what
we've
seen
over
the
last
10
plus
years
in
2021.
F
That
number
jumped
up
to
almost
5
percent,
and
then
you
can
see
the
range
of
forecasts
that
are
out
there,
so
the
blue
line
is
the
median
forecast
among
economists,
which
has
inflation.
You
know
peaking
at
six
percent
in
the
current
year
and
then
declining
back
down
toward
that
two
percent
range.
The
green
line
you
know,
has
you
know
at
least
one
economist
out.
There
has
has
inflation
coming
down
more
quickly
than
that,
but
then
I
think
you're
starting
to
see
more
economists.
F
F
You
know,
I
certainly
don't
pretend
to
be
smarter
than
this
group
of
economists
so
we're
you
know
we're
going
to
make
sure
we're
prepared
for
all
of
these
potential
outcomes
and
we're
going
to
be
conservative,
because
you
know
assuming
higher
inflation
means
assuming
higher
revenues,
so
we're
not
going
to
build
in
higher
revenues
resulting
from
higher
inflation
until
we've
actually
seen
the
inflation
and
we'll
talk
about
we'll.
We'll
talk
more
about
that
in
a
moment.
F
Next
slide,
you
know
talks
about
the
the
impact
of
inflation
on
our
finances.
There's
really
three
key
impacts.
You
know,
first
of
all,
certainly
all
of
us,
as
as
county
employees,
are
experiencing
higher
costs.
You
know
as
we're
fueling
up
our
cars
or
going
to
the
grocery
store.
F
You
know
for
those
who
who
rent
their
housing.
You
know
there
have
been
significant
increases
in
rental
costs,
so
we
want
to
be
cognizant
of
all.
All
of
those
impacts
on
our
employees
and
on
our
ability
to
to
maintain
and
attract
a
competitive
workforce
also
has
an
impact
on
the
cost
for
us
to
procure
goods
and
services.
F
We
have
seen
some
increases.
You
know
in
prices,
particularly
in
sort
of
the
commodity
category,
starting
with
fuel.
I
think
in
other
areas
like
it
purchasing.
You
know
it's
been
more
about
delays
and
and
being
able
to
purchase
items
as
opposed
to
cost
increases,
but
that
situation
continues
to
evolve
and
then
then,
on
the
revenue
side,
you
know
higher
inflation
actually
results
in
higher
taxable
value
growth
and
higher
revenue
growth
for
the
county.
F
Because
of
the
way
proposal
a
and
headley
work
you
know
so,
first
of
all,
under
proposal
a
if
a
property
is
a
is,
has
a
taxable
value
below
its
assessed
value.
The
taxable
value
can
grow
more
quickly
if
inflation
is
higher,
although
that's
capped
at
five
percent,
so
taxpayers
won't
see
more
than
a
five
percent
increase
in
a
given
year.
F
F
You
know
we're
going
to
consider
and
propose
general
adjustments
and
employee
compensation,
as
inflation
is
realized
and
within
our
available
revenues,
so
we're
not
going
to
jump
the
gun,
but
we
are
going
to
react
and
be
responsive,
as
we
have
hard
data
to
work
from
next
slide,
then
kind
of
summarizes
the
key
uncertainties
going
forward.
F
F
Third,
you
know
the
question
of
inflation
and
whether
it
starts
to
to
to
come
back
down
as
we
go
in
the
next
year
or
whether
it's
more
persistent
than
that
and
then
fourth,
you
know
with
mortgage
rates
starting
to
creep
up.
How
does
that
affect
the
housing
market
and
housing
sales?
So
we
are
watching
all
of
these
numbers
on
a
monthly
basis
and
the
revenue
estimates
I'm
about
to
present
to
you
on
the
property
tax
side.
F
F
F
F
So
you
know
across
individual
localities
in
the
county,
these
numbers
vary,
and
you
know
the
the
impact
on
on
their
taxable
values
and
projections
is
different
depending
on
their
mix,
but
for
the
county
as
a
whole.
The
housing
market
really
is
the
primary
driver.
You
know,
which
is
why
I
walk
through
those
slides
in
terms
of
where
we
are
right
now.
F
Next
slide
shows
a
history
on
state
equalized
value
or
assessed
value.
Those
are
the
green
bars
taxable
value,
which
is
the
yellow
or
orange
bars,
and
inflation.
Irm
stands
for
inflation
rate
multiplier,
which
is
basically
the
same
thing
as
as
consumer
inflation,
except
when
consumer
inflation
is
above
five
percent.
F
F
F
If
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
this
is
a
history.
You
know
comparing
state
equalized
value
or
assessed
value
versus
taxable
value.
This
gives
you,
you
know
a
snapshot
of
the
impact
of
proposal,
a
on
our
tax
base.
You
can
see
that
you
know
coming
out
of
the
great
recession.
Assessed.
Value
had
basically
fallen
down
the
taxable
value
as
the
economy
and
the
housing
market
has
rebounded.
However,
you
know
assessed.
F
Value
has
has
grown
at
a
healthy
rate
now
for
for
for
10
years
and
and
taxable
value
because
of
the
provisions
of
proposal,
a
does
not
keep
pace.
F
Next
slide,
this
is
a
snapshot
out
of
the
equalization
report.
So
this
is
all
the
townships
in
the
county
shows
the
growth
in
both
assessed
value
and
taxable
value
from
2021
to
2022,
again
strong
numbers
assessed
value
has
has
grown
by
more
than
five
percent
townships
or
and,
and
taxable
value
for
townships
has
grown
at
six
percent.
You
can
see
from
the
percentages
in
that
last
column.
F
You
know,
with
very
few
exceptions,
you
know
strong
growth
across
the
entire
county
and
then
the
next
slide
shows
the
same
numbers
for
cities
in
the
county.
Again,
you
know
strong
growth,
actually
a
little
stronger
in
total.
I
would
particularly
highly
highlight
the
pontiac
row,
which
you
know
when
the
equalization
team
showed
me.
These
numbers,
my
jaw
kind
of
dropped,
but
taxable
value
in
pontiac
has
grown
by
28.
F
F
F
And
similarly
hazel
park,
18
growth,
that's
also
related
to
you,
know
to
a
new
warehouse
facility
and
new
personal
property
coming
online.
F
You
know
the
one,
the
one
caveat
and
I
spoke
to
the
deputy
mayor
and
pontiac
last
week
about
this.
The
one
caveat
is
that
the
personal
property
side
you
know,
continues
to
be
a
discussion
item
at
the
state
level.
F
Next
slide,
this
graph
shows
you,
you
know,
underneath
those
percent
changes,
there's
really
three
things
going
on
each
year.
One
is
the
growth
and
the
value
of
existing
properties.
Two
is
the
level
of
addition,
so
new
construction
and
properties
coming
online.
So
that's
the
blue
bars
and
then
three
is
as
properties
that
are
coming
off
the
tax
rules,
which
are
the
losses
in
the
gray
bar
again,
you
can
see
in
2022
very
strong
in
terms
of
additions
and
new
property
coming
online,
we're
at
about
1.85.
F
F
F
And
that's
built
into
our
revenue
estimates
you
can.
If
you
squint
there,
you
can
see
in
2023
we're
actually
expecting
not
to
have
a
roll
back,
because
inflation
is
so
high,
but
then
we
would
expect
continuing
rollbacks
beyond
that.
So
you
know
again.
This
will
be
the
first
year
that
the
county's
operating
millage
rate
will
will
will
fall
below
four
mills.
F
Next
slide,
you
know,
shows
the
revenue
picture
both
historically
and
forecasted.
F
F
F
The
next
slide
then
shows
our
property
tax
revenue
projections.
In
a
little
more
detail.
You've
got
five
years
of
history
there.
Where
you
can
see
you
know,
we've
had
growth
in
the
last
column,
in
our
revenues
of
somewhere
between
four
to
five
percent
per
year
for
2022,
we
are
now
projecting
5.3
percent
growth.
That's
a
function
of
the
strong
taxable
value
numbers
that
we
just
walked
through
for
2023
we're
projecting
revenues
of
about
six
percent
growth.
F
Again,
you
know
that's
a
big
number,
but
it's
based
on
conservative
assumptions.
We
know
that,
with
inflation
being
higher,
that's
going
to
increase
taxable
values,
but
we
are
not
assuming
you
know
that
the
housing
market
will
stay
as
hot
as
as
it
has
been.
We
are
not
assuming
you
know
the
same
high
level
of
construction,
we're
making
sure
we're
airing
on
the
side
of
caution
there
and
then
in
future
years.
F
You
know,
assuming
that
things
potentially
return
back
to
a
normal
state,
with
growth
of
you
know
again
on
the
conservative
side
of
three
to
four
percent
per
year.
F
All
right,
that's
the
property
tax
estimate
picture.
If
we
want
to
go
to
the
next
slide.
This
is
a
really
squinty
slide.
I've
got
you
know
you
you've
been
provided
the
full
pdf
of
all
of
our
revenue
estimates
across
each
line
in
the
budget.
This
is
a
snapshot
of
that.
F
So
the
first
line
is
taxes,
which
is
primarily
you
know
our
general
operating
property
taxes
so
for
23
we're
projecting
286
million
dollars
out
of
a
total
projected
revenue
of
just
short
of
500
million,
so
property
tax
revenues
continue
to
be
well
over
half
of
our
budget
and
certainly
the
main
driver,
but
other
dollars.
You
can
see
there
in
terms
of
federal
and
state
grants
intergovernmental
revenues,
which
includes
our
annual
revenue,
sharing
payment,
the
various
charges
for
services
that
that
that
county
departments
receive
and
then
some
miscellaneous
miscellaneous
items
at
the
bottom.
F
So
important
to
note
you
know:
property
tax
revenue
growth
is
strong.
We
can't
necessarily
expect
that
for
some
of
our
some
of
our
other
revenue
sources,
so
you
can
see
you
know
moving
out
of
23
into
24
to
25.
You
know
our
total
general
fund
revenue
base
is
only
growing
between
two
and
three
percent
next
slide.
I
wanted
to
highlight
one
key
adjustment.
F
F
If
you
compare
the
line
which
is
actual
collections
to
the
bars,
which
are
the
amounts
assumed
in
the
budget,
you
know
historically,
there's
been
a
lot
of
favorability
there
about
four
million
dollars
per
year.
As
we
closed
out,
fy
21
collections
for
the
clerk
actually
came
in
about
10
million
dollars
higher
than
what's
in
the
budget.
F
Last
year
in
the
budget
that
was
adopted,
we
raised
that
revenue
estimate
by
two
million
dollars
and
then
in
23
we'll
be
raising
it
another
two
million
dollars,
but
just
want
to
emphasize.
You
know
we're
just
bringing
that
estimate
up
to
sort
of
historical
levels
when
things
are.
F
If
you
compare
the
revenue
estimates
that
are
being
presented
here
to
the
revenue
estimates
that
the
budget
was
based
on
last
year,
we're
bringing
up
property
tax
estimates
for
the
current
fiscal
year
by
about
seven
million
dollars
and
for
the
upcoming
fiscal
year
by
about
12
million
dollars
as
we
go
forward,
we
talked
about
the
headley
roll
back
to
below
4
mils
and
the
fact
that
we're
you
know
assuming
long-term
growth
of
more
like
3
percent
and
again
you
know
our
other
other
general
fund
sources
aren't
growing
at
that
same
rate,
we
just
highlight
you
know:
the
state
budget
situation
has
certainly
flipped
quickly
from
the
negative
to
the
positive.
F
F
You
know
there's
a
lot
of
money
on
the
table
at
the
state
level.
There
are
also
a
lot
of
tax
cut
proposals
floating
around,
so
we
can't,
you
know,
be
sure
until
there's
a
budget
agreement
in
place,
how
much
of
that
revenue
potentially
flows
to
us.
The
governor's
budget
recommendation
did
include
a
very
healthy
revenue
sharing
increase,
both
a
five
percent
ongoing
increase
and
a
five
percent
one-time
payment.
F
So
we
certainly
hope
the
legislature,
you
know,
follow
suit
on
a
portion
or
all
of
that,
but
we
have
to
wait
to
see
what
happens
so
we're
not
going
to
assume
that
at
the
current
time
and
then
on
the
subject
of
personal
property
taxes
in
december,
the
exemption
for
smaller
businesses
was
expanded
from
80
000
to
180
000.
F
There
are
dollars
reserved
to
reimburse
us
for
the
loss,
we'll
experience
from
that
which
could
be
up
to
a
million
and
a
half
per
year,
but
there's
still
work
ongoing
that
we're
monitoring
and
engaging
with
state
policy
makers.
You
know
to
ensure
that
there's
a
good
mechanism
in
place
and
that
those
dollars
are
actually
included
in
the
budget.
So
you
know
those
are
things
to
keep
an
eye
on
and
and
to
advocate,
with
with
state
policy
makers
as
you're
talking
to
them.
F
Let
me
then,
flip
to
the
last
section
in
terms
of
our
budget
goals
and
approach.
So
anytime
I
talk
about
higher
revenues.
I
have
to
make
sure
I
highlight
the
fact
that
we
do
have
you
know
a
number
of
expenditure
pressures
out
there
as
we
you
know.
As
we
closed
out
the
fy
22
budget,
there
was
still
a
small
structural
shortfall
left.
Obviously
we
made
you
know
good
progress
last
year
in
terms
of
workforce
reductions
and
other
adjustments
to
get
to
a
truly
structurally
balanced
budget,
so
that
figure
was
about
four
million
dollars.
F
You
know,
what's
our
strong
goal,
that
the
budget
will
bring
you
in
july
for
the
upcoming
year,
we'll
resolve
that
that
structural
shortfall
permanently
on
the
employee
compensation
side,
we're
currently
budgeted
for
an
increase
of
two
percent
per
year.
Obviously,
inflation
is
running
higher
than
that.
We're
seeing
you
know
both
public
and
private
sector
employees
account
for
that
and
provide
higher
increases
in
their
employee
compensation.
F
You
know
so
we'll
be
bringing
a
recommendation
for
the
general
salary
increase
for
next
year.
Each
percentage
point
above
two
percent
has
a
cost
of
about
three
million
dollars
general
fund.
We
also
have
open
negotiations
with
two
of
our
larger
unions,
which
could
result
in
in
in
higher
costs
as
those
get
resolved
on
the
facility
side.
You
know
these
are
the
numbers
just
in
terms
of
what's
identified
in
terms
of
major
maintenance
and
facility
projects.
F
F
You
know
mike's
department
just
received
requests
for
77
development
projects
across
the
full,
full
scope
of
of
county
government
and
they're
in
the
process
of
vetting
those
in
terms
of
of
the
financial
and
other
considerations
you
know,
enhancing
our
cyber
security
protections
continues
to
be
a
a
priority,
and
then
we've
talked
previously
about
the
circuit
court
case
management
system,
they're
beginning
the
rf
pre
rfp
process.
Right
now,
so
we
won't
know
the
exact
cost
on
that,
probably
for
another
year,
but
this
is
likely
to
be.
F
You
know
a
project
on
the
scale
of
the
workday
project
in
terms
of
complexity
and
potential
cost.
So
you
know
I
highlight
all
of
these
things.
Obviously
we're
not
going
to
tackle
everything
on
this
page
in
one
budget,
we're
going
to
prioritize
and
we're
going
to
work
within
the
the
dollars
that
are
available
next
slide
is
continuing
the
workforce
planning
discussion
that
kicked
off
in
december
of
2020
when
the
board
adopted
the
compensation
plan
to
make
our
wages
more
competitive
with
the
market.
That's
out
there
for
all
of
our
county
positions.
F
Our
goals
here
remain
the
same.
You
know
we
want
to
attract
and
retain
a
qualified
workforce
through
competitive
compensation
levels.
We
want
to
allow
long-term
employees
to
voluntarily
separate
employment.
If
that's
the
right
move
for
them.
We
still
have
you
know
a
handful
of
employees
that
will
be
leaving
us
this
year
under
that
program
and
then
long
term.
We
want
to
work
to
identify
efficiencies
and
reduce
the
county
workforce
through
attrition.
F
You
know,
as
we
have
I.t
tools
that
make
our
work
more
efficient
and
so
forth.
I
think
the
key
to
developments
from
the
administration's
perspective
since
last
year
as
one
the
fact
that
higher
you
know,
property
tax
revenues
are
significantly
higher
than
projected
last
year
and
then,
secondly,
the
fact
that
the
arpa
dollars
became
available.
You
know
those
provide
us
resources
both
to
deal
with
short-term
costs
for
county
government
that
are
driven
by
kovid
as
well.
F
F
In
light
of
these
new
developments,
we
instructed
departments
last
week
that
the
new
goal
is
four
percent
and
we'd
like
to
get
that
done
this
year
so
over
last
year
and
this
year
for
those
departments
that
hit
their
4
target
last
year,
we're
not
asking
for
additional
reductions
right
now
for
those
that
didn't
get
there.
You
know
we
are
asking
them
to
hit
that
four
percent
there's
a
big
asterisk
on
that
which
we
emphasize
with
departments.
This
is
based
on
the
numbers
as
they
stand
today.
F
You
know
we're
going
to
continue
to
ask
them
to
work,
to
find
efficiencies
and
work
to
find
areas
where
their
workforce
can
be
reduced.
You
know
so
that,
as
we
start
to
address
those
larger
needs
on
the
facility
in
the
I
t
side
or
in
the
event
that
something
you
know
happens
with
the
economy
that
causes
our
revenue
to
fall,
we're
in
position
to
be
responsive
to
that
next
slide.
I
won't
spend
a
lot
of
time
here.
These
are
the
same
five
goals.
F
I
think
you've
seen
you
know
with
every
budget,
since,
since
dave
coulter
became
county
executive,
we're
going
to
continue
to
drive
forward
on
all
of
those,
particularly
the
performance
measurement.
You
know
you
heard
in
the
state
of
the
county
speech.
You
know
how
we've
stood
up.
The
dashboard
and
and
county
executive
departments
are
going
to
start
reporting
and
reacting
to
to
the
way
that
their
performance
indicators
are
moving
next
slide.
F
This
is
my
favorite
slide.
I
don't
think
it's
anyone
else's
favorite
slide,
but
just
walking
through
you
know
how
we
look
at
structural
balance
and
how
we
calculate
it
and
again
emphasizing
the
goal.
We
want
a
structurally
balanced
budget
where
our
ongoing
operating
expenditures
are
supported
by
the
revenues
we
collect
that
year
and
that
any
use
of
fund
balance
is
for
one-time
things.
You
know
that
have
a
long-term
payoff.
F
Last
week,
we
closed
out
fiscal
year
2021
with
a
288
million
dollar
fund
balance,
that's
equal
to
about
60
percent
of
our
annual
general
fund
budget,
it's
up
by
about
21
million
from
the
prior
year,
so
we
will
be
bringing
to
you
with
the
second
quarter,
forecast
sort
of
chewing
up
our
fund
balance
assignments
compared
to
what
was
compared
to
what
was
in
the
year-end
report,
because
that
number
is
actually
higher
than
we
thought
it
would
be
when
we
brought
you
the
year-end
report,
so
these
numbers
reflect
the
assignments
we'll
be
bringing
to
you.
F
You
know
we
do
have
some
planned
use
of
fund
balance,
as
we
have
that
that
structural
shortfall
we
still
have
to
close
as
well
as
items
that
were
identified
as
one-time
spending
items
in
the
last
budget,
that's
16
million.
We
have
carry
forwards
where
departments
are
completing
one-time
projects
of
12.6
million.
So
if
you
take
those
two
out,
that
leaves
you
with
an
available
fund
balance
of
about
259
million
dollars.
F
The
first
and
and
most
important
assignment
out
of
that
259
is
our
rainy
day
fund,
consistent
with
the
fund
balance
policy
that
we
worked
to
adopt
with
all
of
you
last
year,
we're
going
to
hold
at
least
25
percent
of
our
annual
general
fund
general
fund
budget
as
a
rainy
day
fund.
That's
clearly
protected
that
we're
not
going
to
use
unless
there's
an
actual
decline
in
revenues.
F
That's
about
120
million
dollars.
A
five
percent
amount
for
non-economic
risks
at
24
million
dollars.
We've
actually
used
a
portion
of
that
for
the
oxford
response.
Although
we've
we've
got
the
dollars
to
now
true
that
back
up
to
the
five
percent
going
forward,
the
45
million
dollars
is,
is
proceeds
from
you
know:
property
sales
on
delinquent
properties.
We
continue
to
hold
that
for
any
outcome.
That
could
happen
with
the
rafaeli
case.
You
know.
F
We've
prevailed
currently
in
the
courts
in
terms
of
the
decision
not
being
retroactive,
but
we
want
to
be
careful
there
as
we
move
forward
and
the
plaintiffs
appeal
that
there
are
12
million
dollars
in
sort
of
miscellaneous
or
grandfathered
assignments,
and
that
leaves
us
with
59
million
dollars
in
that
strategic
investment
category,
which
would
be
for
future
investments
which
we'll
start
talking
about
with
this
budget,
but
certainly
won't
spend
all
at
once.
In
terms
of
you
know,
one-time
facility
projects,
I.t
projects
or
other
things
that
benefit
county
residents
and
businesses
and
then
last
slide.
F
You
know
our
eye
is
always
on
the
ball
in
terms
of
maintaining
the
aaa
bond
rating.
We
had
that
reaffirmed
last
year
we
are
actually
meeting
with
the
rating
agencies
next
week,
because
the
wrc
has
a
financing
deal.
That's
going
through
for
oakland
township
will
be
presenting
the
same
information
you
know
and
fully
expect
to
get
the
aaa
affirmative
going
forward.
So
with
that,
I
will
stop
talking
and
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions
you
may
have.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
I
would
ask
if,
if
you
do
have
questions,
will
you
request
to
speak
through
the
things
so
I
can
get
through
everybody.
I
let
mr
jen
just
get
through
his
whole
presentation.
So
in
the
interest
of
time.
So
first
up
I
have
commissioner
powell.
H
So
one
of
the
questions
I
have-
and
it's
just
from
my
own
understanding-
and
I
will
probably
send
you
an
email-
I
just
wanted
clearly
an
understanding
on
what
is
non-department
like
what
what
does?
What
is
examples
of
non-departmental
charges
for
services?
The
investment
account.
I
mean
investment
income.
What
is
an
example
of
something
we
receive
other
revenues
and
indirect
cost
recovery
and
transfers
in.
I
just
want
to
kind
of
understand
what
type
of
funding
or
what,
what
examples
of
things
that
we've
received
that
reflect
in
those
amounts
sure
just.
F
H
I
can
kind
of
understand
better.
What
does
that
look
like,
because
one
thing
in
particular
the
indirect
cost
recovery?
I
know
we
charged.
I
think
that
got
to
do
with
the
cities
right
something
with
the
cities.
Whatever
I'll,
just
ask
you
the
questions
we
can
go
from
there,
so
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
on.
F
Budget
document
does
actually
in
that
section
of
the
budget
on
revenues,
have
a
short
description
of
each
of
those.
But
I
can
say.
H
Okay
yeah,
but
I
just
need
more
examples
of
what
that
could
be
like.
I
want
additional
of
that.
So
thank
you.
I
know
y'all
kind
of
give
us
a
lot
of
information,
but
that's
from
my
own
understanding
and
then
the
oh.
You
had
answered
the
other
two,
the
one
about
the
other
departments
who
already
committed
to
that
four
percent.
H
F
F
If
you
came
in
at
three
percent,
we're
asking
you
for
the
additional
one
percent,
so
we
can
kind
of
close
that
out,
I
mean
some
departments
did
did
feel
they
needed
a
longer
period
of
time,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
they
follow
through
on
on
what
was
asked
of
everybody.
Last
year.
H
Okay
and
then
thank
you
for
pointing
out,
because
my
third
question
was
about
the
where
that
lawsuit
be
where
it
fall.
Where
does
that
money
come
from
item
line
because
I
knew
it
was
somewhere
under
general
fund
and
then
also
I
wanted
to
kind
of
remind
my
colleagues
these,
like
these
mics
are
live,
so
cyber
conversations
y'all
was
having
to
be
heard.
I
mean
we're
they.
Here
too,
we
got
12
people
on
there,
so
I
was
just
making
sure
thank
you.
A
B
Thank
you
I'm
trying
to
get
to
it,
but
on
the
pie
chart
that
shows
the
the
county
taxable
value.
It
says
real
or
personal
property,
5.5
percent.
Does
that
mean
that
that's
the
that
we're
actually
collecting
or
does
that
include
the
replacement
revenue
that
the
state
sends
in
you
know
because
of
the
exemptions.
F
That's
the
amount
that
is
not
exempt
and
is
actually
being
taxed.
I'm
looking
at
terry
schultz
from
equalization
and
he's
nodding
his
head
correctly.
So
the
dollars
we
get
reimbursed
from
the
state
are
accounted
for
separately.
G
G
Thank
you
for
it's
a
very,
very
good
presentation,
excellent
yeah.
I
get
a
question
now,
a
couple
you
say:
you're,
not
assuming
higher
inflation
beyond
fiscal,
22
and
23..
How
come.
G
F
G
G
F
C
G
No
worries,
okay,
the
reason
why
I'm
saying
that
is
because
I
believe
there
is
a
shift
in
employment
that
will
has
already
led
to
changing
in
office
office
use,
and
you
know
possible
vacancies,
reuse
of
office
and
excuse
changing
office,
so
the
office
sector-
let's
just
say
it's
in
flux-
and
I
you
know-
would
monitor
that
carefully.
G
Looking
down
here,
I
noticed
that
you've
got
the
the
okay
last
last
time
we
were
here,
we
had
fun
with
the
the
I
word,
I'm
bringing
up
the
r
word.
I
love
the
the
bloomberg
bloomberg
as
a
as
a
source
is
very
good.
I
like
it,
I'm
starting
to
you,
know,
use
it
actually
chance
of
recession
within
12
months
100
according
to
the
bloomberg
service.
G
Now
a
lot
of
that
due
to
monetary
policy,
soaking
up
to
combat
inflation,
to
say
that
this
is
unprecedented
and
well
actually
it
isn't.
Those
of
us
who
are
unlucky
enough
to
have
been
living
through
the
late
70s
and
early
80s,
not
only
were
the
fashions
horrible,
but
the
inflation
was
bad.
I'll.
Just
say
that
we're
going
to
have
to
you
know,
be
ready
for
the
next
step.
G
Beyond
the
inflation,
which
is
the
recession
and
that
will
will
impact
revenue
that
will
impact
costs
that
will
impact
everything
and
all
your
you
know
just
be
sure
that
your
assumptions
do
not
and
do
not
ignore.
I
think
the
very
real
chance.
In
my
case,
I
believe
it's
a
certainty
of
recession,
you're
and
it's
also
possible
that
we
will
have
the
worst
of
all
possible,
which
is
going
back
to
the
70s
and
80s,
which
is
stag.
G
Inflation
was
the
word
from
then,
and
you
have
not
only
the
stagnation
and
or
recession,
but
inflation
on
top
of
that,
so
your
first,
my
guess
once
again,
is
your
first
pressure
will
be
from
the
unions
and
from
your
employees
who
are
not
going
to
be
satisfied
with
two
percent,
because
the
general
cpi
is
at
7.1
and
that's
before
the
real,
the
real
kicker
is
is
getting
in,
which
is
food.
G
You
know
what,
like
the
third
largest
wheat
producer,
just
invaded
the
fourth
largest,
so
these
are
great.
These
are
great
assumptions,
but
I
would
you
know
just
you
know.
Once
again,
I
threw
the
I
word
in
last
week
last
week,
I'm
going
to
throw
the
r
word
in
now
and
finally,
when
we
talk
about
your
the
five
principles,
making
investments
investments
are
good.
G
My
father
was
an
ad
man
for
his
for
marketing
and
without
chemical
anyone's
told
me,
you
know
if
they,
if
they
can
sell
consumption
as
investment,
they
can
sell
damn
near
anything.
G
So
when
you're
looking
at
an
investment,
be
sure
you
got
an
roi
that
you
can
say
we're
putting
in
100
million
or
a
million
we're
going
to
get
in
a
million
too
rather
than
you
know,
rather
than
something
rather
vague.
I'm
I'm
happy
to
see
this.
This
all
looks
very
good
and
the
fact
that
you
are
concentrating
on
the
impacts
of
inflation
now
is
good.
Take
the
next
step,
because
I
think
in
a
year
we're
going
to
be
we're
going
to
be
well
in
it.
F
I
can
just
respond
briefly,
oh
sure,
with
respect
to
the
r
word
I
mean,
I
think,
you're
seeing
economists
certainly
say,
there's
a
heightened
chance
of
a
recession.
I
don't
know
that
I've
seen
you
know,
100,
that's
a
pretty
strong
prediction.
F
F
You
know
so
again,
I
would
just
re-emphasize.
I
mean
I
think
three
things
I
talked
about
here
in
terms
of
of
being
prepared
with
the
level
of
economic
uncertainty.
There
is
right
now
you
know,
working
with
you
to
adopt
the
fund
balance
policy
and
having
a
you
know,
a
clear
and
strong
rainy
day
fund
you
know
is
is
step
one
because
that's
what
a
rainy
day
fund
is
for
step.
F
Two
is
again
being
cautious
in
all
of
our
assumptions
and
working
off
the
hard
data
we
have
now
that
we
know
is
going
to
increase
our
revenues,
but
not
assuming
that's
going
to
continue
indefinitely
and
then
three
is
continuing
to
tell
departments
to
be
prepared
and
have
an
eye
on.
You
know
how
they
can
become
more
efficient
as
we
move
forward
here.
So.
A
A
A
F
But
not
least
so
we
sort
of
reviewed
the
highlights
of
this
in
the
in
the
previous
presentation,
the
the
county
equalization
report,
you
know
reports
and
affirms
the
assessed
and
taxable
values
across
all
localities
in
the
county
each
year.
This
is
due
to
the
state
april.
F
15Th,
I
think,
is
that
right,
terry,
you
know
so
so
terry,
along
with
the
other
two
chiefs
in
equalization,
ann
grady
and
tracy
jones
and
their
staffs
are
coming
out
of
their
busiest
time
of
the
year,
both
in
terms
of
finalizing
the
tax
rules
and
going
through
the
board
of
review
process
for
the
counties
that
we
provide
the
assessment
services
for
under
contract,
as
well
as
reviewing
you
know,
the
the
the
assessed
value
amounts
for
the
other
localities
that
perform
their
own
assessing
services
and
and
pulling
together
this
report.
F
So
I
want
to
thank
them
for
their
hard
work
and
particularly
the
three
chiefs
who've
seen
all
this
work
completed.
A
Seeing
no
one,
I
will
just
comment
that
I
realize
how
complex
this
is
every
year
for
you
to
pull
together
and
dealing
with
all
of
the
local
communities
and
so
on,
and
I
know
it's
been
a
difficult
year
because
we
do
have
a
vacancy,
and
so
I
just
want
to
commend
the
department
for
getting
this
done
on
time
and
getting
it
to
us
and
allowing
us
to
start
the
budget
process
on
time
which
starts
with
the
equalization
report.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
very
much
and
with
that.
B
A
B
Yeah
as
as
not
being
a
scholar
in
this
lane
of
work,
of
course,
I
rely
completely
on
you
guys
to
tell
me
what's
good:
what's
not
good
and
as
a
result,
I
vote
based
on
that.
So
I
am
hoping
that
we
can
continue
to
get
those
high
ratings
and
things
like
that
because
of
our
reporting-
and
that's
really.
All
I
had
to
say
is
just
simply
that
we
are
typically
not
the
subject
matter.
Experts
here
that
we're
counting
on
our
smes
to
make
sure
that
we're
making
the
right
choices.
G
A
A
B
A
All
right
next
up,
we
have
item
9a
department
under
department
recommendations,
information
technology,
budget,
amendment
website,
content
management
system
implementation.
Welcome
back
mr
tim.
I
need
a
motion
to
make
a
recommendation
to
the
board
commissioner
kowals
supported
by
commissioner
cavell.
E
Go
ahead,
mr
thank
you,
commissioners,
good
morning,
so
this
is
a
resolution
to
basically
provide
the
allocation
of
funding.
We
have
and
one
of
the
numbers
that
that
kyle
had
up.
There
was
kind
of
grandfathered
assignments.
If
you
will,
if
I
remember
right,
it
was
in
the
order
of
12
million
330
000
ish,
which
is
360
000
ish
is
for
this
resolution,
which
is
a
contract
with
granicus
granicus
went
through
the
rfp
process.
E
We
had
10
county
departments,
you
know,
including
the
the
courts
and
the
sheriff's
office
as
well
as
departments
underneath
the
county
executive,
and
I
so
it
was
a
it's
a
full
county
implementation
of
the
county
website.
So
it
is
a
very
extensive
rfp
process.
Very
extensive
review
process
and
granicus
was
the
winner
of
that
that
award.
E
E
E
It's
a
microsoft
platform
that
microsoft
is
basically
deprecating
or
again
it'll
go
end
of
life.
So
that's
the
reason
for
this
project
and
the
reason
for
the
rfp
and
the
process
that
we
went
through.
So
this
is
really
the
allocation
of
the
funds
to
allow
us
to
award
that
contract
and
do
the
project.
A
B
When
those
transfers
happen,
should
we
expect
any
any
noticeable
happenings
or
would
it
be
one
of
those
times
where
you'll
say,
maintenance
will
be
happening
over
the
weekend
so
expect
to
have
some
lag
there,
and
are
we
saying
that
the
layout
of
the
website's
changing
in
terms
of
where
things
are
placed,
and
then,
if
so,
who
did
they
talk
with
about
scenarios
of
where
things
should
be
placed
great.
E
Great
question,
so
so
that's
actually
the
next
project
you
know
that'll,
be
you
know
putting
putting
shutters
on
the
outside
of
the
house
and
putting
a
new
roof
on
the
house.
E
A
I
It
is
afternoon
now
yeah
good
afternoon,
so
thank
you
for
having
us
here
from
our
team.
We
also
have
jody
weisser
defoe
who's,
the
chief
deputy
treasurer
natalie
neff,
who
is
our
investment
administrator
ross
gavin
who's
over
there
as
well
who's,
a
deputy
treasurer
and
then
angelica?
Who
is
our
student
working
in
the
office
at
this
time
and
goes
to
wayne
state
university?
So
I
want
to
make
sure
we
recognize
who's
here
with
us.
We
appreciate
you
giving
us
the
opportunity
to
chat.
I
I
know,
there's
two
different
agenda
items
so
I'll
talk
about
this
one.
First,
it's
a
request
to
authorize
depositories
for
public
funds
in
2009
the
board
approved
allowing
any
credit
union
in
compliance
with
ncua
and
in
2019
the
board
approved
a
resolution
regarding
non-credit
union
financial
institutions
located
with
physical
branches
inside
oakland
county,
and
it
seems
like
in
our
thought,
is
a
good
idea
to
combine
these
into
a
single
resolution
and
that's
what
we
have
here
for
your
approval.
I
We
are
seeing
mergers
and
acquisitions
in
the
financial
sector
and
the
community
bankers
associate
association
has
even
said.
Markets
like
southeast
michigan
could
support
up
to
10
additional
community
banks.
So
therefore
we're
asking
for
your
approval
to
authorize
any
financial
institution
with
physical
branches
in
the
state
of
michigan,
which
is
also
state
law.
It's
required
that
they
have
to
have
physical
branches
here
in
the
state
of
michigan
and
they
are
regulated
by
the
fdic
or
ncua,
and
then
they
meet
the
objectives
of
our
investment
policy
as
authorized
depositories.
I
And
so
that's
our
request,
obviously
happy
to
take
any
questions.
But
that's
a
little
bit
of
the
background
and
what
we're
here
today
for
what
you
have
in
front
of
you.
I
I
Instead
of
having
to
redo
that
all
the
time,
okay,
that's
why
we
I
was
saying
we
would
combine
like
what
we
did,
whereas
the
for
credit
unions,
it
was
just
an
authorization
for
anyone
that
you
know
fulfills
all
of
those
requirements.
This
would
do
the
same
thing
for
banks,
okay,.
A
A
Is
you
know
how
do
we
know
we're
not
just
giving
investments
to
our
buddies
right?
This
instead
says
you
have
to
whatever
institution
it
is
has
to
meet
the
requirements
of
the
investment
policy
of
the
state,
as
well
as
the
investment
policy
here
and
that's
how
we're
protected.
If
you
invest
in
bank
xyz
and
I
go
look,
I
should
be
able
to
see
that
they
meet
all
of
those
requirements-
yep,
okay
and
by
listing
them
by
name.
I
It
says,
like
any
subsequent
merger
acquisition-
that's
in
there,
but
it
also
you
know
we're
talking
about
new
banks
and-
and
the
goal
is
right
to
as
community
bankers
association
talks
about
is
that
there
is
room
for
10
additional
community
banks
in
the
area,
and
so
that's
kind
of
what
we're
talking
about.
A
B
I
Excellent,
thank
you
and
then,
as
you
see
on
here,
there's
also
right.
Like
conflicts
right,
if
there's
a
conflict,
we
won't
invest
when
it
talks
about
on
here.
The
no
deposit
shall
be
made
into
a
financial
institution
if
an
elected
official,
oakland,
county
or
appointed
official
of
the
county,
treasurer's
employed
by
or
as
an
officer
or
director
of
said,
financial
institutions.
So
we
are
trying
to
eliminate
those
conflicts
of
interest
as
well.
A
A
I
A
I
Go
ahead,
thank
you.
So
this
one
is
updating
our
investment
policy
and
the
last
time
we
updated
our
investment
policy
was
actually
april
2001.
I
So
that's
why
we're
here
today,
but
just
so,
you
all
know
public
act,
20
of
1943
at
the
state
level
kind
of
dictates
what
we
can
do
and
what
we
can
and
can't
invest
in.
So
what
we
are
recommending
today.
There
aren't
a
whole
lot
of
changes
that
we're
requesting
and
then
the
few
changes
that
we
are
requesting
are
relatively
minor
and
the
draft
policy,
that's
in
front
of
you,
has
been
reviewed
by
baird,
our
municipal
advisor,
our
colleagues
in
management
and
budget
and
board
staff.
I
I
It
is
in
essence,
to
give
us
more
flexibility
and
hopefully
more
yield
within
the
constraints
of
public
act,
20
which
we
were
mentioning
before.
The
main
changes
that
we
are
requesting
are
extending
the
duration
of
an
investment
from
three
years
to
five
years
and
raising
the
maximum.
We
can
invest
in
a
particular
security
type
from
15
to
25
percent
and
those
are
federal
agencies
such
as
farmer,
farmer,
mac
federal
home
loan,
bank
federal
crime,
federal
farm
credit
bank,
those
are
allowable
security,
that's
allowable
security
type
that
we
utilize
to
achieve
greater
yield.
I
Another
change
is
to
incorporate
in
our
current
practices,
to
consider
clinton
county
specifically
and
then
community
reinvestment
act
rating.
So
that's
cra,
the
rating
with
the
cra
and
that
focuses
on
borrowers.
Borrowers
needs
in
low
to
moderate
income
neighborhoods,
as
well
as
environmental,
social
and
governance
standards,
as
they
further
develop,
and
these
considerations
are
all
subsequent
to
our
three
main
requirements
that
we
do,
the
the
sly
acronym
safety.
First,
then,
liquidity
then
yield
and
the
last
requested
change
is
for
the
policy
to
come
back
to
the
board
at
least
every
five
years
for
approval.
I
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
for
bringing
this
forward,
I'm
just
it
kind
of
came
out
when,
after
the
last,
I
think
bond
meeting
that
they
had
that
we
were
getting
an
indication
that
we
were
now
going
to
be
start
start
to
be
judged
by
things
like
the
esg
and
for
the
life
of
me.
I
don't
understand
what
that
has
to
do
with
with
with
this,
but
the
environmental,
social
and
governance
esg
factor
in
that.
Is
that
just
a
thing
everywhere
now
that
that
we're
being
judged
on.
I
I
So
what
it
is,
is
you
know
as
again,
our
main
focus
is
safety
liquidity
yield
right.
Those
are
the
three
things
we
look
at
number
one
and
then
kind
of
what
we
added
is
making
sure
we're.
Investing
with
good
community
partners
is
the
way
I
would
look
at
it.
As
you
said,
you
know,
as
you
see
it's
there's
the
community
reinvestment
act
rating
that
they
are
rated
on
based
on
bar.
You
know
again,
they're
focusing
on
borrowers
needs
in
low
to
moderate
income
communities.
I
A
I
And
and
separately
so
serving
on
and
chair
markham,
and
I
also
sit
on
the
retirement
board
separate
from
this.
But
this
is,
we
are
actually
part
of
an
ad
hoc
committee
talking
about
esg
investments,
and
we
can
tell
you
right
now
that
it's
still
in
its
infancy
that
there's
a
lot
more.
That
needs
to
be
done,
and
so
that's
why
that
isn't
our
sole
basis.
I
H
This
is
a
little
off
topic,
but
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
put
on
your
radar
just
for
our
commissioners
that
I
know
you
all
have
the:
what
is
it
the
seller
homes?
What
is
it?
Oh,
the
auction.
H
Lot
of
things
you
are
I've
been
in
contact
with
them.
I
know
some
things,
that's
changing
in
the
process
of
how
y'all
doing
it
is
there
any
way
you
all
can
eventually
send
an
email
to
commissioners
just
to
let
us
know
that
process.
What
is
the
new
things
just
in
case
we're
asked
by
our
constituents
on
how
it's
moving
forward,
because
we
know
we
haven't
had
it
in
what
two
three
years
now
correct.
H
H
B
I
I
I
I
He
is
going
to
work
for
a
michigan
environmental
council,
and
it's
something
I
know
he's
really
passionate
about
and
we
are
sad
to
see
him
go,
but
we
are
excited
for
this
new
opportunity
for
him
and
just
want
to
wish
him
all
the
best
and
just
want
to
acknowledge
ross
for
all
of
his
hard
work
for
the
county
over
the
last
10
years.
Yes,.
A
All
right
next
up,
we
have
item
9d
economic
development,
business
development
resolution
proposed
city
of
birmingham
corridor
improvement
authority,
tax
capture,
affirm
the
opt
out
decision
we
have
with
us
ingrid
tai
who's
right
here.
I
need
a
motion
commissioner,
charles
supported
by
commissioner
long.
She
didn't
know
she
raised
her
hand
all
right.
J
Welcome:
okay,
hi
everyone:
how
are
you
doing
it's
good?
How
are
you
good,
okay,
we'll
get
started?
Okay,
so,
commissioners,
today
in
front
of
you,
we
also
have
core
council
on
the
line.
Two.
We
have
bill,
dibiase,
also
hello
bill.
I
also
have
one
of
my
staff
members,
tim
kobeck
who's
in
the
room
and
then
brett
raskin
over
our
planning.
J
Division
is
also
on
the
line
I
think
is
behind
the
scenes,
and
so,
if
there's
further
questions
but
the
resolution
that
you
have
in
front
of
you,
let
me
I'm
going
to
set
the
context
first
and
let
you
give
you
the
background
to
this
and
then
explain
the
resolution.
J
Several
years
ago
in
2015,
the
city
of
birmingham
came
to
oakland
county
to
they
proposed
a
corridor
improvement
authority
and
a
project,
and
they
came
forward
proposed
that
cia
and
then
the
county
at
that
time,
as
per
law
and
as
per
county
policy,
opted
out
within
that
60-day
period,
and
then
what
happens
is
the
county
and
then
that
respective
community
going
to
negotiate
negotiation
for
the
contract
for
the
tif
during
that
period.
J
Unfortunately,
the
city
of
birmingham
and
the
county
could
not
come
to
agreeable
terms
and
they
reached
an
impasse
and
the
the
topic
was
essentially
just
put
on
ice.
They
just
basically
it
it
just
sat
on
the
on
the
back
burner.
J
Within
this
last
year,
city
of
birmingham
came
back
to
oakland
county.
They
resuscitated
this
plan
and
they've
made
several
updates
to
the
corridor
improvement
authority.
They
did
have
a
public
hearing
the
end
of
february
and
it
was
approved
at
the
city
of
birmingham,
and
so
now
is
before
you
today
the
miscellaneous
resolution.
If
you
read
through
it
the
entire
thing,
it
does
go
into
detail
and
the
timeline
in
which
this
project
started.
J
2015,
establishing
the
cia,
proposing
the
the
tif
plan
and
the
tax
assessment,
everything
on
that,
and
then
it
goes
into
the
fact
that
it
was
brought
back
to
the
table.
So
today,
what
we're
asking-
and
this
miscellaneous
resolution
is
to
opt
out
again
as
per
policy,
to
allow
then
core
council
to
go
into
negotiation
with
the
city
of
birmingham
for
the
tax
capture
for
this
project.
J
J
A
J
So
this
well
bill:
do
you
want
to
go
a
little
more
into
the
legal
piece
of
it?
Because
those
really
came
down
to
the
short
yeah,
the
short
25
or
less
version
bill.
B
Well,
ingrid,
you
did
a
great
job
of
presenting
it
as
as
ingrid's
alluded
to.
This
is
in
a
sense,
deja
vu
all
over
again,
we
did
opt
out
in
2015
and
we
initiated
a
an
attempt
to
arrive
at
a
contract
with
birmingham
corridor
improvement
authority.
In
order
to
permit
some
capture,
I
was
not
involved
in
that
joe
ellen
shortly
was
involved
in
that,
as
I
understand
it,
part
of
the
sticking
point
was
was
a
clawback
provision.
B
B
The
purpose
for
which
they
were
capturing
and
apparently
and
again
I
was
not
involved
in
it,
but
that's
where
it
fell
apart.
I'm
gleaning
this
from
reading
the
the
minutes
of
the
the
birmingham
cia
and
and
getting
some
information
and
doing
some
historical
background
on
it.
However,
as
ingrid
said,
I'm
sorry
thank.
G
You
all
right,
so
I
just
want
to
be
sure,
because
I
go
back
you
know,
is
that
the
sticking
point
is
the
clawback
provision
because
they
want
to
build
a
parking
structure,
but
if
they
don't
build
the
parking
structure,
we're
losing
all
this
tax
stuff-
and
you
know
we
don't
want
to
just
give
it
away.
Yes,.
K
K
J
G
Were
you
were
you,
were
you.
G
A
A
J
I
I
A
So,
do
you
have
any
questions?
Do
I
have
any
questions
all
right?
Do
we
have
quorum
still
in
the
room.
G
A
A
B
A
Okay
motion
carries
excellent.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
all
right.
Next,
we
have
item
b,
public
services,
10b
public
services,
animal
shelter
and
pet
adoption
center
donation
acceptance,
acceptance
of
a
gift
to
the
oakland
county,
animal
shelter
and
pet
adoption
center
moved
by
commissioner
moss
supported
by
you
know.
He
didn't
give
you
any
of
this,
commissioner
general.
B
In
police
reserves,
like
I
say
he
ran
for
mayor,
didn't
get
in,
but
he
did
run
for
it
and
it's
just
amazing
to
me.
It's
absolutely
amazing
cool.
A
Do
we
have
anybody
from
animal
control
or
whatever
to
to
talk
about
this
at
all?
No,
it
passed.
B
A
Right,
okay,
I
have.
I
just
have
a
couple
of
comments
about
animal
shelter
and
animal
control.
I
just
I
would
like
oakland
county
animal
control
to
consider.
A
Spay
and
neuter
for
oakland
county
and
with.
A
Cats
and
dogs-
okay,
I'll
tell
you
how
this
came
to
me.
I
have
a
friend
who
has
a
dog
and
they
are
economically
challenged
somewhat
and
their
dog
needs
to
be
neutered
and
it's
it's
a
big
expense.
If
you
just
try
to
get
it
done
at
your
vet
and
the
humane
society
even
charges,
I
think
50,
I
don't
think
we
do
it
and
I
guess
that's
for
the
general
public.
I
know.
B
A
B
A
I
I
get
that
it's
just
something:
that's
come
up
a
couple
of
times
with
people
that
I
know,
and
we
all
know
if
we
can
spay
and
neuter
all
these
animals
that
are
out
there,
we're
not
going
to
have
as
many
of
them
and
so
the
costs
are
down
and
the
public
is
safer
and
so
on.
So
anything
we
can
do
to
help
the
pet
owners
who
want
to
be
responsible,
I'm
in
favor
of
so
I
won't
belabor
the
point
all
in
favor
of
accepting
this
generous
resolution.
A
A
That's
a
lot
of
money
for
for
the
dog,
shelter
man.
A
A
B
Hey?
How
long
do
this
for
a
second
time
shane
you
want
to
just
give
broad
strokes
yeah,
we
can
jump
right
into
questions.
K
Right,
so
the
miscellaneous
resolution
in
front
of
you
for
establishment
of
the
housing
trust
fund
has
two
main
things.
One
is
the
structure
of
the
administrative
structure
to
administer
the
funding
in
which
we're
asking
for
creation
of
two
part-time
positions
supported
by
the
funding
we're
requesting,
and
that
is
a
manager
and
a
coordinator
to
help
administer
those
funds
as
they
come
in
along
with
that
administration
structure,
that's
going
to
be
within
our
division.
K
K
Those
are
the
big
broad
strokes.
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
jump
in
on
anything
else
right
there.
If
we
just
want
to
go
to
questions
all
right.
A
So
let
me
just
make
sure
I
understand
the
initial
creation
of
this
is
with
a
five
million
dollar
infusion
from
arpa,
which
is
supposed
to
be
geared
toward
underserved
and
unserved
populations
and
so
on.
So
this
consistently
fits
with
that,
but
ongoing
years
out
year,
three
four
five,
two
three
four
five:
we
are
going
to
be
actually
providing
two
million
dollars
from
the
budget
every
year
to
sustain
this,
so
it's
being
created
with
arpa
money
but
long
term.
It
will
be
sustained
as
a
budget
item.
Yes,.
B
I
think
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
you
know
I
I
felt
very
strongly
about,
and
I
think
that
you
know
when
shane
and
his
research,
you
know
in
terms
of
successful
housing,
trust
to
have
a
sustainable
funding
source
was
important
right
instead
of
having
you
know,
relying
on
gifts
and
grants,
and
you
know
those
things
kind
of
go
in
and
out
depending
on
the
year
and
how
well
the
year
does
you
know?
B
So
I
think
you
know
having
a
sustainable
source
puts
us
in
a
position
where
you
know,
there's
predictability
and
predictability.
You
know
means
a
lot
to
developers
and
then
the
other
piece
too.
You
know
one
of
the
things
I
kind
of
really
give
a
really
strong
nod
to
you
know
with
gary
and
co
gary
kerry
and
gordon
who
were
in
the
housing
division
before
shane
and
his
team.
They
created
a
revolving
like
loan
fund.
Basically,
you
know
with
our
home
dollars.
B
You
know
they
took
dollars
from
1957,
I
mean
1975
date.
Those
dollars
are
still
out
in
the
community
working
to
help
people
you
know
make
renovations
to
their
homes
right.
You
know
it's
almost
a
57
million
dollar
fund
right
now
and
I'm
hoping
that
you
know
what
what
we
will
create
this
group
will
create.
Is
you
know
with
our
housing
trust
that
long
after
any
of
us,
any
of
us
sit
at
this
table
that
we'll
still
be
having
dollars
that
started?
Working
in
you
know
2022
that
would
be
working.
B
A
Okay,
thank
you,
commissioner.
Cabell.
K
Just
real
quick,
it's
five
million
dollar
appropriation
of
our
and
a
five
million
dollar
assignment.
Yes,.
A
A
B
You
is
there
any
provision
in
here
for
the
local
units
of
government
that
the
cvts
that
they
play
a
role
in
these
coming
into
their
community.
Is
there
any
kind
of
approval
process
or
or
what?
How
are,
how
are
they?
You
know
able
to
have
some
say
so
over
this
process.
K
Well,
like
with
any
development
proposal
in
any
municipality
in
oakland
county,
we
have
to
abide
by
those
local
municipality,
zoning
approval
processes
etc,
and
that's
something
that
we
would
be
working
with
those
developers
and
those
other
funders
to
make
sure
that
the
local
municipalities
are
on
board
with
whatever
project
and
whatever
local
approval
processes
they
have
in
place.
This.
B
Is
simply
a
gap
financing
tool
right?
You
know
when
there's
a
gap
in
the
financing
and
the
development.
This
kind
of
helps
us,
you
know,
helps
a
or
close
the
gap.
So
you
know
the
initial
you
know
conversations
are
with
those
communities,
it's
not
with
oakland
county
in
terms
of
our
policies
and
where
we
want
to
go,
but
what
exists
in
zoning
laws
at
the
local
level.
G
Yeah,
let
me
make
sure
I
understand
what
we're
doing
we're
starting
the
oakland
county
housing
trust
fund,
which
is
to
be
overseen
by
the
housing
trust
fund
board.
G
The
board,
which
is
made
up
of
that,
would
be
being
further
resolved
number
five,
the
seven
seven
members
and
that
the
trust
fund
is
to
be
administered
by
the
neighborhood
and
housing
development.
Division
of
the
county
executive
right.
B
G
It's
funded
by
the
one-time,
5
million
from
arpa
and
the
one-time,
40
40
000
from
the
general
fund
and
then
the
2
million
annually
from
the
general
fund.
It
says
sourced
from
state
revenue
sharing,
so
the
2
million
is
going
to
come
from
revenue
sharing
from
the
state
of
michigan.
Yes,.
B
G
B
G
We
served
in
the
toughest
times.
Certainly
they
were
very
tough
they're
exceedingly
interesting.
G
Was
so
just
to
talk
about
sustainability
of
a
source
that
is
unstable
to
say
you
know
just
to
say
that
because
the
state
as
we
know,
because
when
we
were
sitting
here,
we
talked
about
all
those
butt
heads
up
and
lancing.
And
then
we
went
up
and.
G
As
far
as
sustainability
and
budgeting,
using
as
revenue
sharing
as
a
source,
you
know
good
times
get
followed
by
bad
times.
I
would
question
that
now.
My
another
question
is
that
is
this
really
the
housing
trust
fund
becoming
essentially
our
housing
county.
G
K
What
we're
looking
at
doing
is
and
the
way
that
that
was
worded.
It
was
meant
that,
usually,
when
these
development
proposals
come
in,
sometimes
it
part
of
the
budget
of
their
budget
is
to
actually
purchase
that
land.
It's
not
the
county
purchasing
that
land,
but
it's
the
developers
and
those
agencies
that
are
going
to
be
administering
and
running
that
site
like
purchasing
atlanta.
So
we
are
not
looking
as
a
division
to
be
owning
that
land,
owning
that
property
and
running
that
property
ourselves.
K
G
B
K
It's
a
funding
availability
for
you,
know
rental
developments
through
our
home
investment
partnership
grant,
but
we
don't
really
have
the
mechanism
in
place
to
take
in
other
funding
streams
and
to
increase
our
capacity
to
do
that.
So
this
will
allow
that
growth.
If
you
will
leverage
that
to
leverage
other
county
funds
or
excuse.
G
K
It's
housed
within
our
division,
but
currently
what
we're
doing
and
how
we're
administering
community
development
block
grants,
home
investment,
ship
partnership
grants
and
emergency
solution
grants
all
those
other
hud
fundings
that
come
in
that
is
still
administered
through
our
current
structure
that
we
have
in
place.
This
is,
in
addition
to.
G
This
is
two
new
two
new
positions
in
the
ptnes
to
administer
the
basically
administer
the
money
and
administer
the
fund
to
do
this.
This
is
the
taking
in
and
the
spending
of
the
money.
This
does
not
mean
that
we
will
be
owning
properties
and
the
like.
We.
A
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Anybody
else
seeing
no
one,
let's
prompt
the
vote.
A
A
I
need
a
motion
commissioner,
charles
supported
by
commissioner
powell.
Okay,
is
this
you
again
rudy
or.
K
K
What
we're
talking
about
is
two
things:
five
million
dollars
for
the
shelter
capacity
fund
using
arpa,
and
the
second
thing
is
two
million
dollars
using
arpa
for
critical
home
repair,
with
an
emphasis
on
seniors
in
census,
qualified
tracks.
That
is
something
that's
been
amended
thanks
to
housing
departments,
wisdom,
because
that
allows
us
to
be
arpa
qualified
with
these
funds.
K
I
have
on
the
line,
if
they're
here
liam
mccall,
to
answer
any
questions
about
the
shelter
capacity
fund
and
she's,
the
ceo
of
the
alliance
for
housing
and
then
also
tim
and
or
susan
harding,
from
habitat
for
humanity
and
olsha,
to
answer
any
questions
about
the
need
for
the
critical
home
repair
program,
but
maybe
following
what
rudy
and
shane
did.
If
you
have
questions,
we
can
go
there,
because
I
think
we've
all
talked
about
this
and
it's
kind
of
straightforward.
A
Anybody
have
any
questions,
commissioner
moss.
Yes,.
G
Are
you
talking
about
on
the
now,
therefore
be
it
resolved
in
the
miscellaneous
resolution?
In
the
it
says,
the
first
bullet
point:
five
mill
for
the
creation
of
a
shelter
capacity
fund
funds
are
to
be
used
to
increase
the.
G
G
So
it
it's
a
that
term
means
the
development
or
design
of
the
shelter
and
that
the
shelter
be
designed
to
be
to
so
you've
got
more
room,
more
privacy
et
cetera.
It's
not
okay,.
G
Also,
I
noticed
that
there's
money
for
rehabilitation
of
existing
structures
such
as
motels,
hotels
and
other
facilities
to
be
used
as
structures
who's
who's,
going
to
do
that
who's
going
to
own
the
motels
and
the
hotels
and
the
other
existing
structures
unknown
profits,
non-profits
that
we
would
work
with
lines
for
housing
like
that.
B
So
this
would
be
like
welcome
in
this
could
be
hope.
This
could
be
lighthouse,
it's
gonna
be
a
number
of
non-profits.
That's
kind
of
like
currently
do
shelter
work.
Thank
you.
K
G
E
K
Something
like
that,
so
the
original
one
I
believe
that
was
introduced
at
the
full
board
of
commissioners
had
the
housing
trust
fund.
Within
this
current
resolution,
we
pulled
out
the
housing
trust
fund
conversation
because
that
the
establishment,
the
establishment
of
that
was
going
to
be
a
bigger
conversation.
It
was
going
to
be
have
a
lot
more
information
in
it,
and
so
you
kind
of
have
to
look
at
the
two
in
combination
when
you're
looking
at
that
sum
total.
G
One
of
the
early
versions
of
this
we're
going
to
make
a-
I
don't
know
an
inventory
of
county
zoning
and
the
policies,
and
is
that
that's
I
don't
see
it
here.
What
happened
to
it
check
it
out?
Why.
B
K
So
this
also
goes
to
gary's
thing
in
full
and
transparent
government
right
we
put
something
up
and
then
we
said
what
do
you
think
and
then
everyone
said
we
like
it
or
we
don't
like
it.
So
part
of
that
process
was
cutting
the
budget
down,
because
these
people
over
here
wanted
to
be
smarter
with
their
money
and
same
thing
with
the
zoning
talking
to
you
all
and
a
couple
folks
in
the
democratic
caucus
we
found
that
maybe
zoning
one
is
not
organic
with
this,
because
what
we're
talking
about
is
I'm
sorry?
K
What
do
you
mean
organic?
Well,
that's
what
I
was
explaining.
So
it's
not
organic,
because
we're
talking
about
adding
money
to
shelter,
capacity,
we're
talking
about
adding
money
to
critical
home
repair,
something
that's
already
happening,
and
zoning
is
a
bigger
conversation
that
we
think
after
talking
with
you
all
requires
more
thought.
So
we
pulled
it
because
we
don't
want
people
to
think
about
zoning.
What
we're
trying
to
do
is
shelter
capacity
and
critical
home
repair,
because
that
has
nothing
to
do
with
this.
K
A
Isn't
zoning
it's
more
of
a
local
control
anyway,
the
local
city,
village
or
township
is
really
who
controls
the
zoning
in
their
location,
right,
yeah,
okay,
all
right!
Anybody
else
have
any
comments
or
questions.
A
A
J
Okay,
good
afternoon
again
so
sean
carlson
is
at
the
medc.
I
do
not
believe
he
is
logged
in
he
had
some
meetings,
but
I
just
want
to
confirm
he's
not
on
okay
yeah.
I
don't
think
he's
come
back
so,
okay,
so
commissioners,
I'm
here
today
to
talk
to
you
about
the
business
forward
consultant
program
right
now.
We've
actually
already
kicked
this
off.
We've
started
this
to
refresh
your
memories.
The
business
forward
program
was
approved
by
the
board
of
commissioners
previously
several
months
ago.
J
J
Oh
there
we
go
okay,
perfect.
I
will
move
quickly
in
the
essence
of
time,
I'm
probably
standing
between
you
and
lunch,
so
I
won't
go.
But
please
stop
me
if
there
are
further
questions
I'll
do
overview,
but
if
you
want
a
deeper
dive
into
some
of
these,
please
let
me
know
right
now,
as
you
see
here,
business
forward,
what
this
program
was
done
and
designed
to
do
was
to
identify
and
to
address
several
issues.
Number
one
is
to
mitigate
some
of
the
financial
hardships
that
our
small
businesses
experienced
during
covet
19..
J
What
we
have
is,
what
happened
was
we
received,
cares
money,
and
that
was
an
opportunity
where
we
provided
small
business
grants
to
assist
our
small
businesses
during
the
peak
of
covid,
and
so
we've
identified.
There
are
15
000
businesses
that
we
were
able
to
work
with,
and
we
have
those
now
in
in
our
inventory,
and
so
the
the
plan
is
to
right
now
we're
continuing
to
work
with
them
with
those
fifteen
thousand
we've
identified.
J
All
this
has
been
driven
by
data
with
which
we've
received.
We
work
very
closely
with
the
university
of
michigan,
with
the
economics
department
there
and
their
economist,
who
provide
us
annual
research
and
data,
and
so
the
information
that
we
receive
from
them.
We
use
that
to
drive
the
direction
of
this
program,
and
the
goal
of
this
is
also
to
help
lift
up
some
of
the
minority
women
owned
and
veteran
owned
small
businesses
that
we've
identified
in
our
communities
to
help
them
thrive.
If
you
notice,
there
are
two
lines
here
that
are
in
bold.
J
The
reason
why
they
are
in
bold
is
because
those
are
two
of
the
requirements
for
our
american
rescue
plan
dollars.
We
have
to
address
these
issues,
and-
and
this
highlights
some
of
those
that
we
must
identify
the
covet
19
and
also
we've
we're
identifying
and
working
to
address
economic
distress
next
slide,
please
so
some
of
that
data
I
mentioned
that
university
of
michigan
provides
us
you'll
see
here
that
there
is
information
on
the
average
whole
household
income
for
various
regions
around
the
county.
J
These
are
lines
the
colors
all
you
can
see
in
the
next
slide
here,
there's
a
better
map,
but
what
they
have
done
is
they
divided
our
county
into
eight
different
regions.
They
looked
at
the
average
household
income
and
then
using
that
data.
If
you'll
see
the
bottom
four,
the
blue,
which
is
identified
by
we
call
it
the
west
region,
then
there's
a
dark
maroon
color,
which
is
south
central
farmington
and
southfield
kind
of
an
army
green
there,
which
is
southeast
and
then
the
bright
red
which
is
considered
central
outside
birmingham
and
bloomfield.
J
J
Yes,
so
so
so
yeah
puma
stands
for
public
use
micro
data
areas.
This
is
information
that
comes
from
the
u.s
census
block.
Okay,
next
slide.
J
Of
our
economic
outlook
that
we
receive
one
of
the
reports
that
we
get
here
is
the
forecast
of
jobs
by
industry
in
the
county.
If
you
look
at
the
next
several
years,
there
are
several
areas
that
our
economists
do
not
anticipate,
rebounding
back
to
pre-coveted
numbers.
These
fall
primarily
in
the
retail,
the
restaurant,
some
of
our
professional
services,
real
estate
transportation
services.
So
therefore,
this
was
one
of
the
the
strategic
targeted
areas
where
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
help
our
businesses.
J
What
I
also
want
to
highlight
here,
though,
is
we,
do
have
manufacturing,
that's
that
star
too,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
manufacturing
is
a
major
component
in
a
major
industry
in
the
county,
and
we
don't
want
to
turn
our
backs
on
them.
So
we
want
to
also
continue
to
make
sure
that
we're
working
with
those
manufacturers,
that's
a
vital
part
of
our
defense
and
our
automotive
industries.
J
Next
slide
here,
you
can
see
this
just
shows
you
a
breakout.
We
have
39
000
companies
in
the
county
of
which
36
000
are
considered
small
business.
Our
50
employees
are
below
when
you
look
at
that.
You
see
that
approximately
15
000
thousand
following
what
we
would
consider
the
lower
wage
or
blue
collar
scale
right
there
next
slide.
J
If
you
could
zoom
out
just
a
little
more.
Thank
you
all
right,
so
you
can
see
the
it's
a
little
too
close.
If
you
can
zoom
out
there,
you
go
perfect.
Okay!
So
right
now,
if
you
look
here
based
on
the
numbers
here,
20
20
people
are
below
you
see
right
now.
That
makes
up
about
32
000
businesses
roughly
and
that's
where
we're
going
to
really
focus
our
efforts.
Next
slide.
J
What
we
also
looked
at
was
our
information
from
the
economist
on
poverty
levels.
This
indicates
where
poverty
is
highest
in
the
county
as
marked
by
the
dark
red
and
the
the
really
deep
red
and
then
the
darker
red
regions.
This
is
also
driving
where
we
are
looking
at
putting
our
targeted
outreach
for
our
small
businesses.
The
goal
is
to
help
these
communities
and
the
the
goal
is
to
help
lift
them
up
a
rising
tide
lifts
all
boats
next
slide.
J
So
when
we
are
looking
at
the
american
rescue
plan,
there
are
several
parameters,
a
framework,
that's
in
place,
certain
certain
gates,
if
you
will
that
a
program
or
project
must
meet
in
order
to
qualify
for
this
funding,
so
we
looked
at.
Is
it
transformational?
Is
this
something
that
we
can
measure
and
then
also?
What
is
the
impact?
These
are
several
questions
that
we
all
answered
and
we
said:
can
we
leverage
the
county,
strength
or
economic
potential?
J
Yes,
does
it
target
certain
barriers
and
does
it
reduce
disparities?
Yes,
does
the
investment
align
with
our
kpis
and
our
county
objectives,
and
that's
yes
and
then
do
we
have
a
return
on
investment?
Yes,
and
then
is
this
going
to
address
areas
impacted
by
covid,
and
I
will
go
into
details
that
answer
all
these
questions
next
slide,
please,
okay,
so,
as
you
see,
though,
the
county
has
established
goals.
J
I
believe
that
all
the
commissioners
have
been
part
of
conversations
with
county
executive
chambers
and
other
county
executives
on
talking
about
what
are
those
goals
and
those
community
objectives.
As
you
see
here
under
economic
development,
some
of
our
community
objectives
that
are
met
through
this
program
is
it
addresses
increasing
business
investment.
J
We
help
grow
our
minority
businesses
within
the
county
and
we
improve
our
labor
force
participation
all
directly
through
this
program,
our
kpis
at
the
department
level
that
are
addressed
through
this
are.
We
are
improving
that
household
income
that
I
just
showed
you
in
the
previous
slides.
The
goal
is
to
raise
that
across
the
county
and
also
we
are
engaging
with
the
number
of
players
that
are
being
served
by
our
workforce
development
programs
next
slide.
J
So
here
you
see
what
is
we
what
I
want
to
go
into
real
quickly?
For
those
of
you
are
not
as
familiar
when
in
economic
development
we
define
our
industries,
our
businesses
by
traded
clusters
and
local
clusters,
so
traded
is,
for
instance,
manufacturing
or
construction.
It's
because
those
are
good
goods
and
services
that
must
be
located
in
a
particular
area,
for
instance
like
automotive
manufacturing.
J
They
have
to
be
near
a
certain
source,
whereas
local
those
are
industries
or
businesses
that
you
find
in
every
community
banking,
retail,
restaurant
things
of
that
nature.
So
when
we
look
at
the
entire
gdp
for
oakland
county,
it
is
a
total
of
105
billion
dollars.
Oakland
county
makes
up
over
20
percent
of
the
gdp
for
the
entire
state
of
michigan,
so
one-fifth
of
the
gdp
comes
from
our
county
alone.
We
are
a
juggernaut
when
it
comes
to
the
gdp,
but
yet
we
cannot
sit
on
our
laurels.
J
J
It
is
almost
just
short
of
350
000.,
the
number
of
companies
that
have
less
than
20
we
highlighted
earlier,
which
is
a
little
over
32
000,
and
if
you
look
at
what
we
have
defined
as
one
of
our
target
goals
for
nilda
and
her
group
is,
if
we
go
after
and
we
outreach
and
hit
6
000
companies
over
the
next
five
years,
then
we
can
hit
approximately
30
000
companies
we'd
be
getting
close
to
hitting
all
of
those
local
clusters
next
slide.
J
So
we
have
three
types
of
targets.
When
it
comes
to
this
category.
Here
we
have
something
we
define
as
a
potential
entrepreneur
emerging
and
established
a
potential
entrepreneur.
Is
that
entrepreneur,
who's
thinking
about
starting
a
business,
maybe
has
started
to
dabble
a
little
in
his
or
her
garage
or
basement.
You
know
they're
they're,
just
at
the
at
the
basically
nascent
stages
of
this.
The
second
group
is
emerging.
This
is
someone
who
maybe
has
started
a
business
in
the
last
year
or
two
kind
of
getting
it
up
and
running.
J
Maybe
he's
hitting
some
barriers
doesn't
maybe
know
what
to
do
has
hit
some
walls
or
just
needs
some
additional
information
or
resources,
and
the
third
group
is
established.
Maybe
this
is
someone
who's
actually
running
a
business,
they
might
be
on
a
main
street
right
now
they
might
be
running
an
online
business,
but
yet
they
could
still
take
it
to
the
next
level.
They
want
to
expand
and
grow.
Maybe
it
is
a
restaurant
owner
and
they
want
to
have
a
second
location.
So
that's
what
we
would
consider
someone
who's
a
more
established
entrepreneur
next
slide.
J
So
when
we
look
at
what
we're
trying
to
do,
we
are
going
to
be
hitting
all
these
different
groups,
but
we
want
to
look
at
okay.
What
is
the
return
on
investment
right?
What
are
we
going
to
get
from
the
dollars
that
we
put
into
this
program?
What
we
did
is
took
did
a
conservative
estimate.
We
said
okay
of
the
potential
of
the
emerging
of
the
established.
What
do
we
think
that
we
can
affect,
and
how
can
we
move
the
needle?
If
you
look
at
the
potential
entrepreneurs,
if
we
have?
J
Let's
say
we
hit
a
group
of
500,
that's
the
goal
that
that
new
setting
up
a
business
if
just
10
we
could
get
10
or
50
of
those
entrepreneurs
to
create
one
job,
so
50
new
jobs
based
on
our
also
our
data.
We
know
that
the
average
income
or
the
wage
for
someone
in
that
service
sector
is
going
to
be
approximately
35
dollars
a
year.
So
you
take
that
fifty
jobs
times
that
thirty
five
thousand
and
we
could
create
one
point-
seven,
five
million.
So
you
see
we
did
that
same
math
for
merging.
J
If
we
could
get
ten
percent
of
to
be
successful
out
of
2000
that
we
hit
in
the
emerging
merging
group,
we
could
increase
by
7
million
and
then
of
the
established
again
conservative
estimate
if
we
could,
if
we
hit
3,
500
and
10
of
those,
are
successful,
and
we
thought
maybe,
with
an
established
entrepreneur,
it's
more
likely
that
they
could
create
two
jobs,
two
jobs
times,
35
000.
We
could
create
24.5
million.
So
for
a
total
of
33
million.
J
They
are
adept
in
workforce
development,
franchise
ownership,
they've
owned
retail
and
restaurant
establishments
been
in
manufacturing,
but
this
the
common
thread
with
all
of
them,
is
that
they
have
all
been
or
are
small
business
owners
next
line
excited
here
we
go
so
what
this
group
is
doing.
Is
they
act
as
general
practitioners?
If
you
will,
the
group
is
embedded
in
communities
and
I'll
show
you
that,
right
here
in
a
minute,
but
the
group
goes
out
they
meet
with
our
small
businesses.
They
diagnose
the
business.
J
They
identify,
needs
barriers,
resources
that
we
can
connect
with.
We
then
work
to
connect
to
these
small
businesses
with
those
proper
resources
or
groups
or
people
that
they
need
to
help
them.
We
offer
things
like
connecting
to
small
business
development
center
counselors
to
our
procurement
technical
assistant,
counselors.
J
We
work
with
helping
them
get
access
to
capital
if
they
need
to
talk
to
someone
with
one
of
our
seed
lending
or
any
of
those
different
programs.
We
also
have
groups
that
we're
working
with
we're
retaining
people
like
lawyers,
hr
consultants,
cpas
and
other
experts
to
offer
assistance.
So
when
a
consultant
sits
down
with
a
small
business
and
identifies
that
it's
appropriate
and
a
small
business
might
be
ready
and
needs
hr
assistance.
J
We
know
that
a
small
business
doesn't
have
an
hr
director
on
staff
or
they
don't
have
a
lawyer
on
staff,
but
we
can
give
them
two
three
four
five
hours
of
free
consul
consultative
time
with
a
lawyer
or
with
an
hr
director
to
help
them
with
their
needs.
J
So
the
the
goal
is
we've
already
started
reaching
out.
Our
team
has
that
list
of
15
000
small
businesses
that
I've
mentioned
that
we
assisted
through
cares.
We
also
working
proactively
with
all
of
our
chambers
of
commerce
in
these
areas,
all
of
our
downtown
directors,
all
the
city
managers
with
all
the
they
just
missed
the
the
ddas
yeah,
so
all
the
different
groups.
We
have
engaged
with
all
these
various
stakeholders.
J
They
have
already
given
us
a
given
us
list
of
small
businesses
and
they're
right
now,
proactively,
reaching
out
to
these
groups
next
slide.
Okay,
so
you
can
see
here.
This
is
where
all
of
our
consultants
currently
are.
These
are
areas
where
hashtags
are
on
those.
Our
hash
marks
are
on
the
map.
Again,
that's
indicating
those
pumas
that
I
referenced
earlier.
Those
areas
of
household
income
that
are
below
the
average
in
the
county,
so
you
can
see
those
are
distributed
throughout
right
now.
J
J
So
the
reason
we're
here
in
front
of
you
today
is
to
talk
about
the
potential
growth
of
this
program.
As
you
see,
if
you
go
back
to
the
other
slide
and
we'll
come
to
it,
there
are
some
areas
of
the
county
that
are
not
as
well
covered,
as
you
saw
as
some
others
right
now.
So
the
goal
is
to
improve
and
increase
the
outreach
next
slide.
Please.
J
So
if
you
see
the
blue
dots,
those
are
the
areas
that
we'd
like
to
put
five
additional
consultants
in,
so
we
get
up
there
in
the
lakorian
novi
and
other
areas.
We
feel
that
we
could
have
better
coverage
and
we've
also
received
feedback
and
requests
from
some
of
your
fellow
commissioners
and
other
directors
and
chambers
of
commerce,
saying
that
there
is
still
additional
need
for
all
these
areas
next
slide.
J
So
the
goal
would
be
to
embed
five
additional
people.
We
would
provide
these
services.
What
we
also
are
doing
is
fostering
and
would
continue
to
foster
an
ecosystem
in
all
these
respective
communities
that
helped
grow.
So
I
mentioned
these
lawyers
and
these
hr
directors
and
all
these
other
experts,
you
have
these
lawyers
and
all
these
different
people
in
your
community.
So
the
goal
is
that
we
are
fostering
and
helping
them
apply
and
allowing
them
to
be
those
consultants
on
the
ground.
J
J
These
are
just
some
of
the
examples
of
that
specific
work
that
we
would
offer
through
legal.
You
can
see
things
like
legal
basics,
setting
up
certain
types
of
entities,
accounting
and
finance
things
like
intro
to
quickbooks
and
capital
next
slide
business
operations,
a
lot
of
different
areas
here
on
how
to
do
everything
from
grant
writing
to.
You
know
how
to
write
a
business
plan
and
other
operations
next
slide
marketing.
That's
essential
e-commerce,
social
media
next
slide
human
resources.
J
I
just
mentioned
that
you
know
if
you're
a
small
business,
a
lot
of
people
not
might
not
be
aware
of
wage
requirements
and
and
labor
laws
and
things
of
that
nature.
So
that's
important
for
us
to
educate
our
small
businesses
there
and
then
it
one
of
the
things
that
became
very
apparent
for
our
small
businesses,
especially
during
covet,
is,
if
you're,
a
retail
establishment
or
many
other
establishments.
J
J
It's
almost
like
a
project
management
tool,
so
they
can
make
sure
that
they
are
addressing
all
the
needs
following
up
appropriately
referring
and
connecting
to
additional
resources
as
appropriate,
but
what
it
also
does
it's
a
website
too
that
allows
if
you're
a
small
business
you
can
go
on
on
the
front
end
and
see
like
and
click
things
like.
I
need
hr
help
when
I
need
to
talk
to
a
lawyer
and
I
need
to
learn
how
to
write
a
business
plan.
H
So
all
of
this
is
wonderful.
I'm
happy
that
we're
moving
in
this
direction,
but
I
had
a
question
one
personally.
I
will
be
reaching
out
to
you
because
I
know
I
govern
and
vote
for
a
lot
of
this
stuff,
but
I'm
a
small
business
owner
myself,
but
I
know
some
of
it
is
conflict
of
interest
because
I
vote
for
some
of
this
stuff.
So
I
just
wanted
to
gain
clarity
on
what
things
even
could
I
be.
Could
I
assist
in
some
of
the
needs
I
may
need
for
my
business?
H
Would
I
be
able
to
be
privy
to
that,
be
it
that
I'm
over
seeing
or
voting
and
stuff
in?
So
I
just
wanted
to
reach
out
and
get
clarity
on
that
yeah
and
then
I
also
wanted
to
bring
that
same
thing
up
for
our
workers
or
people
that
we
are
dealing
with.
You
may
have
an
attorney
group
that
y'all
referring
businesses
like.
Is
there
any
way
that
conflict
of
interest
plays
a
part
in
them
being
able
to
utilize
the
resources
that
we're
offering.
H
Or
I
know
me
to
get
clarity
for
myself
because
I'm
different,
though
I'm
voting
for
a
lot
of
this
stuff.
So
I
know
it's
conflict,
the
entrance
yeah
for
me
in
certain
aspects,
but
if
there
are
some
resources
that
I
could
benefit
from,
then
I
would
love
to
because
again
that's
you
know,
I'm
hindering
just
because
I'm
a
commissioner.
I
can't
get
no
help
yeah
with
my
own
small
business,
but
the
second
part
is
what,
if
we
have
employees
that
work
here,
is
there
any
conflict
that
they
have
small
businesses
that
they
can't
utilize?
H
Here
just
to
clear
that
channel,
because
I
know
we
have
small
business
owners
in
this
place,
sure
we
all
know
people
got
to
have
multiple
incomes
now.
So
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
on
your
radar
just
to
clear
that
too,
and
that's
something
I
could
work
on
later,
but
okay,
so
for
myself
as
a
commissioner
and
then
just
other
people
because,
like
you
said,
we
utilize
that
that
that
lawyer
firm
that
may
be
helping.
You
know
what
I
mean
but
make
sure
it's
not
conflict.
The
interest,
be
it
if
we
refer
people
to
them.
H
H
H
G
H
H
A
A
D
B
D
Okay,
so
thank
you
very
much
for
taking
time
with
me
today,
so
I'll
make
this
as
brief
as
possible.
So
right
now
we
have
employees
have
what's
called
a
pto
bank
paid
time
off,
depending
on
how
long
you're,
here
it's
called
an
accrual
system
and
they
accrue
more
as
the
time
has
been
has
been
here
so
for
we
have
currently
on
the
on
the
books.
Right
now,
in
a
merit
rule
we
can
have
what's
called
a
buy
back
one
time
a
year,
which
is
people
who
have
over
60
hours
of
pto.
D
Time
are
eligible
to
get
paid
out
for
a
year
instead
of
taking
it
if
you're
over
60
hours.
So
normally
we
only
do
one
a
year.
However,
this
year
I'm
asking
for
two
for
a
couple
of
reasons.
We
had
such
a
significant
absenteeism
rate
as
it
relates
to
covid
between
the
months
of
october
and
february
that
we
had
a
lot
of
employees
covering
shifts
for
people
significant
over
time,
especially
in
the
sheriff's
department,
and
just
a
lot
of
people
could
not
take
the
time
off
and
so
what's
happening
now
is
employees
are
losing
their
time?
D
If
they
don't
take
it,
it
falls
off
the
books,
and
so
obviously
our
supervisors
are
really
trying
to
accommodate
our
employees
so
now
they're
trying
to
like
okay,
can
I
try
to
take
friday
off
to
not
lose
my
time.
So
the
request
is,
is
that
we
would
allow
for
two
this
year
instead
of
one
now.
It
is
currently
in
the
fringe
benefit
fund,
it's
already
booked
on
as
a
liability,
and
so
it
would
just
be
moved
into
a
paid
paid
benefit
instead
of
a
liability.
A
A
Okay
item
carries
motion,
carries
last
part
of
our
regular
agenda
item,
12
b,
human
resources,
staffing
modification
to
create
a
chief
employee
and
labor
relations,
officer
classification
and
position.
I
need
a
motion
commissioner,
charles
supported
by
commissioner.
Did
you
yeah?
You
did
yeah
okay,.
A
A
D
Thank
you
again.
As
you
know,
I've
been
acting
hr
director
now
for
a
couple
of
years
for
here
for
oakland
county
and
we've
been
really
monitoring
what
the
needs
are
with
our
department
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
is
becoming
the
most
intense.
If
you
will,
is
the
in
the
labor
relations,
so
it's
employee
and
labor
relations
division.
We
have
two
people
in
there
now
for
5
000
employees.
D
So
it's
important
to
know
people
think
that's
just
labor
like
labor
contracts,
it's
not
it's
for
all
employees,
so
whether
you're
in
in
merit
system
appointed
what
not
they
are
the
first
in
line
for
complaints,
questions
policy,
all
of
those
things,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
we've
been
trying
to
look
at
is
what
is
it
that
we
need,
and
so
we
have
decided
our
department,
in
particular
our
labor
relations
division,
that
the
primary
thing
that
we
need
is
somebody
to
help
be
more
in
the
strategic
part
of
it
know
and
understand.
D
Labor
law
are
the:
not
only
would
they
be
helping
us
with
all
those
policies,
mirror
rules
and
making
sure
we're
following
law.
It
would
also
be
helping
with
union
negotiations
management
of
the
cba
contracts
grievance
grievance
issues
that
come
to
the
to
the
to
the
department,
as
well
as
any
kind
of
complaints
investigations
that
we
need
to
do
so.
Having
somebody
with
that
employment
background,
I
think
employee
law
background
would
be
extremely
helpful.
D
So,
given
that
we
had
a
open
position
for
another
hr
analyst
ensue
in
the
labor
relations
unit
and
we've
decided
that
it
would
make
the
most
sense
to
eliminate
that
position,
create
the
space
for
the
chief,
employee
and
labor
relations
officer,
and
we
would
also
eliminate
a
part-time
employee
and
also
be
able
to
reduce
some
legal
services
by
having
that.
D
K
Hey
bro
from
reading
this,
I
don't
like
this.
I
I
understand
the
need
for
more
staffing,
but
the
thing
that
gets
me
hung
up
is
having
someone
come
between
the
growing
unions
in
oakland
county
employees
ranks
and
you
in
labor
negotiations
from
what
I
understand.
Aren't
your
labor
negotiations
once
every
few
years,
every
three
years
so
one.
What
is
this
person
doing
the
other
two
years?
D
That
the
hr
director,
some
yes
there's
13
unions
and
I
literally,
have
been
doing
uni
negotiations
for
25
hours
a
week
lately.
But
I'm
saying,
but
you
also
remember,
they
all
have
grievances
issues
with
the
cba
that
we
work
with
consistent,
constantly
talking
to
labor
reps
about,
what's
going
on
here,
not
to
mention,
and
if
this
is
not
just
labor,
so
employee
investigations
eeoc
complaints.
D
All
of
that
we
only
have
two
people
doing
that,
so
we're
still
keeping
those
two
people,
but
instead
of
adding
another
person
who
who
can
help
feel
the
phone
call
we're
asking
for
somebody
who
has
that
employment
law
behind
them
so
they're,
not
necessarily
getting
in
the
way
or
in
between
they're,
actually
there
to
help
and
they'll
help
mediate
and
help
make
us
we
don't
get
to
agreements,
we
don't
get
to
an
investigation.
We
don't
get
to
those
complaints.
D
K
K
K
A
H
K
H
A
A
Okay,
so,
okay,
anybody
else
have
any
comments,
because
I'm
going
to
comment,
I
have,
I
have
never
been
a
member
of
a
union,
but
I've
been
deeply
involved
in
in
labor
relations
negotiations
in
my
former
life
and
in
my
career,
and
what
I
always
found
was
that,
having
that
leadership
from
the
union
to
negotiate,
because
I
was
in
in
management
operations
management
in
manufacturing,
so
you
know
you're
talking
to
the
workers
and
the
unions
all
day
every
day,
and
I
always
found
that
at
negotiation
times
or
even
when
there
are
issues,
it
was
always
really
good
to
have
one
person
on
management,
side
and
one
person
on
the
side
of
the
employee
or
the
union.
A
I
believe
you
need
a
person
whose
focus
is
specifically
that
and
I
don't
think
it's
antagonistic.
I
personally
do
not
believe
it's
an
antagonistic
position
to
the
workers.
I
think
it
actually
is
a
communication
device
and
as
long
as
the
money
is
there
within
your
department
and
you're
just
reallocating
it,
as
commissioner
moss
said,
I
have
to
say
that
I
would
leave.
I
want
to
support
executive
coulter's
desires
to
run
his
organization
in
the
way
that
he
and
you
of
course
feel
that
it
should
be
run
deputy
lynch.
A
So
with
that,
I
I'm
in
support
of
this,
because
I
think
the
need
is
there
and
you've
figured
out
how
you're
going
to
pay
for
it.
So
I
am
disagreeing
with
my
colleague
on
this
side
of
the
table,
but
you
know
that's
okay,
commissioner
powell,
followed
by
commissioner
moss.
Just
a
question.
I
mean
commissioner,.
H
Because
you
stated
you
still
the
interim
so
technically
before
when
we
did
have
two
people.
I
know
we
kind
of
changed
what
the
unions
has
increased
in
our
involvement.
H
D
Of
it,
that's
a
very
good
question.
Thank
you,
so
some
of
it
has
been
actually
so
is
that
we
actually
are
struggling
to
find
an
hr
director,
because
what
I'm
finding
is
they
either
have
really
strong
labor
relations
experience,
but
they
don't
know
the
other
side
of
hr,
which
is
your
process.
Your
benefits,
your
compensation,
all
of
that
or
I'm
getting
a
lot
more
folks,
to
be
frankly,
honest
that
have
no,
they
have
no
labor
experience,
but
they
know
the
hr
side
and
I'm
feeling,
like
that's
a
I'm.
I
have
a
lot
of
both.
D
So
that's
why
I've
been
able
to
kind
of
maintain
this
process
but
to
find
an
hr
director
that
has
both
labor
relations
experience
as
well
as
the
as
the
the
other
side
of
hr
has
been
very
difficult,
and
I
think,
having
somebody
in
again.
Without
and
again,
I
want
to
be
clear.
This
isn't
just
for
the
unions,
it's
for
employees
as
a
whole.
It
just
happens
to
be
you
know,
helping
support
the
union
piece,
that's
right,.
D
D
A
Okay
with
that,
then
we
go
back
to
the
original
motion
and
we
can
prompt
the
vote.
A
That
concludes
the
regular
business
of
the
finance
committee.
All
we
have
left
now
is
public
comments.
So
if
there's
anybody
from
the
public
who
wishes
to
address
this
committee
on
any
topic,
please
come
to
the
end
of
the
table
and
state
your
name
and
your
community,
and
you
have
three
minutes
which,
since
it's
ms
kennedy,
I
think
she
knows
that.
C
Okay,
thank
you,
commissioners.
My
name
is
catherine
kennedy
from
lake
orion
and
as
I
watch
the
finance
committee
throw
millions
of
dollars
away
in
arbor
money
which
we
will
not
have
in
the
future,
creating
a
lot
of
new
programs
for
welfare
systems
that
we
will
have
to
support
with
our
general
fund
when
the
arpa
dollars
run
out.
C
In
light
of
all
the
businesses,
we've
already
lost
all
the
tax
revenue
that
we
don't
even
know
yet
that
we've
lost
and
the
fact
that
I
believe,
as
mr
moss
indicated,
I
am
totally
in
agreement.
I
remember
the
early
80s.
I
was
actually
an
investment
advisor
back
then,
and
I
can
tell
you
absolutely.
I
believe,
the
debt
that
we
are
incurring
right
now
and
the
programs
we
have
applied
at
the
federal
state
and
local
level
are
placing
us
on
a
trajectory
of
very
bad
economics.
C
I'm
very
concerned
because
I've
seen
a
lot
of
refugees
in
my
community,
my
local
stores
and
I
actually
have
a
video
of
the
bus
where
they
actually
change
the
route
to
the
smart
bus.
It
no
longer
just
goes
to
auburn
hills
meyer
to
benefit
the
citizens
of
pontiac,
which
I
would
think
would
be
appropriate
being
in
oakland
county.
C
Instead,
the
entire
route
got
changed
for
the
huge
big
smart
buses.
Maybe
you've
seen
around
the
campus.
Now
I've
seen
them
quite
a
bit
going
all
the
way
downtown
to
go
all
the
way
up
to
oakland
county.
That's
an
additional
40
miles
each
way
round
trip
every
trip
of
the
bus.
So
I
actually
don't
understand
why
that
shift
would
be
made
to
where
we're
paying
smart
buses
to
go
outside
the
county,
to
bring
them
to
our
grocery
stores
rather
than
the
people
in
pontiac.
C
I
think
they
deserve
the
support
of
our
county,
not
the
people
in
other
counties.
I
really
have
a
problem
with
the
fact
that
workforce
development
budget
in
the
meeting
on
june
23rd
right
around
57
minutes
in
they
said
all
the
workforce.
Development
money
was
eligible
to
be
used
by
the
refugees
and
immigrants
all
of
it,
and
then
I
keep
seeing
programs
like
the
child
services
that
woodward
brought
in
as
a
communication.
C
C
We
need
to
prioritize
our
citizens
first,
I
am
very
concerned
when
they
talk
about
well,
we
can
just
raise
the
taxes
because
we
have
inflation
on
our
property
tax
that
will
increase
our
revenue.
Well,
that
means
the
taxpayers
are
going
to
have
increasing
property
taxes
that
could
put
them
in
jeopardy
of
losing
their
homes
if
the
inflation
keeps-
and
you
just
keep
having
the
attitude
that
will
add,
programs
will
just
increase
taxes.
