The meeting was called to order by Chairperson Celentino at 7:01 p.m. in the Personnel Conference Room of the Human Services Building, 5303 S. Cedar, Lansing. Approval of the April 7, 2009 Minutes MOVED BY COMM. KOENIG, SUPPORTED COMM. HOLMAN, TO APPROVE THE APRIL 7 MINUTES AS AMENDED. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. The Minutes were amended on page one as follows:

The Consent Agenda motion was moved by Comm. Copedge, not Comm. Dougan. Additions to the Agenda 4a. Substitute Resolution 4b. Revised Memorandum from Dr. Myers 8a. Substitute Resolution 8b. Substitute Resolution 8c. Resolution and Staff Review Limited Public Comment Mr. Michaels addressed the agenda item 6. He stated Sparrow, MSU, LCC and private and public entities use Project Labor Agreements (PLA). PLA’s are legal documents. This issue involves competition. Mr. Chapman stated non-union workers are required to pay union dues on Project Labor Agreement projects. Non-union workers would also be required to pay into union benefit funds.

Page 4: INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS P.O. Box 319, … · Mr. Eastwood, IBEW, said the proposed policy does not include “union only” language. He then spoke about the ABC website.

Mr. Fisher, president of ABC, stated there is only one concern about the PLA. Union and non-union workers should have an equal opportunity to work within the County. He then stated Ingham County, including its contractors and vendors, shall not prohibit nor require agreements with labor organizations; and it shall require employees to be either members or nonmembers of a labor organization. Mr. Fisher left copies of a letter he sent to the Board of Commissioners recently. He then stated he hopes this Committee will consider the language in his letter. Mr. VanDenBerghe stated he is concerned about the economy. PLA’s will result in a division between union and non-union workers. The two groups should be able to work for the County. Mr. Bitzer said he represents trades people, tax payers, etc. He then spoke about the recent Career Day. This event brings young people into the trades business. Mr. Bitzer then spoke about the Project Labor Agreement. Currently, there are two PLA’s in this town. A PLA does not exclude contractors who are not union workers. Mr. Parks said PLA’s almost always means a contractor has to be a signatory to the union. The contractor also has to pay union dues and union benefit funds. If the County wants to have a better control over the contracts, it should rely on the contractors. Mr. Parks asked the Committee to please consider that PLA’s are not good for all trades. Mr. Donahue, Ingham County employee union representative, spoke about Mr. Matwiejczyk. Mr. Matwiejczyk was an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney in the Ingham County Attorney’s Office. Mr. Dunnings withdrew Mr. Matwiejczyk appointment as an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney from his Office on August 20, 2008. This move was based on Mr. Dunning’s belief that of a negative public perception for his Office. The Attorney General’s August 19, 2008 report found “there is insufficient evidence to demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt that any applicable criminal statute or common law crime occurred.” Mr. Donahue further stated the Attorney General’s office referred this matter to the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission. On March 21, 2009, the Commission determined the evidence did not warrant further action by the Commission and directed that any investigation be dismissed. Mr. Donahue stated Mr. Dunnings had informed Mr. Matwiejczyk that if he was cleared by the Attorney Grievance Commission he would welcome him back into his Office. Mr. Donahue said Mr. Matwiejczyk should receive a full 12 month severance pay per his bargaining agreement. He then asked that this Committee grant Mr. Matwiejczyk an additional four months of severance pay. Mr. Sweet, union president and Chief Steward, stated he represented Mr. Matwiejczyk through his termination process. During this process, Mr. Dunnings made the following statements: that he did not believe Mr. Matwiejczyk had done anything wrong during a specific trial; and that, Mr. Matwiejczyk was being terminated only because of negative public and perspective concerns. Mr. Dunnings had also stated if Mr. Matwiejczyk was cleared by the Commission, he would welcome him back. Mr. Sweet asked this Committee to compel Mr. Dunnings to keep his promise to Mr. Matwiejczyk.

Ms. Wiegman stated she was present this evening to collaborate Mr. Sweet’s statements regarding Mr. Matwiejczyk. Ms. Wolf, a previous Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, stated she has known Mr. Matwiejczyk for many years. He is a highly skilled and sought after attorney. Ms. Wolfe spoke of her positive work experience with Mr. Matwiejczyk. She then urged the Committee to read the Attorney Grievance Commission report and to allow him to receive an additional four months of severance pay. Mr. Matwiejczyk distributed copies of Mr. Dunning’s reference letter, Mr. Matwiejczyk’s wife’s letter to Mr. Dunnings and the Attorney Grievance Commission’s report. He then stated Mr. Dunnings did promise him that he could be returned to the Office if he was cleared by the Commission. This has not happened. Mr. Matwiejczyk spoke about how this has affected his family life. He also stated he loved working in the Prosecutor’s Office and would like to return to the Office. Mr. Matwiejczyk asked the Committee to extend his severance pay to August 20, 2009 so that he can continue to look for employment. Mr. Eastwood, IBEW, said the proposed policy does not include “union only” language. He then spoke about the ABC website. The website has less than 20 contractors who are based in Ingham County. Mr. Driver distributed copies of his April 21, 2009 letter to this Committee from Mackenzie Environmental Services, Inc. He then referred to an attachment to his letter which illustrated that his business was the lowest bidder for two projects. The union bidders were well above his bid amounts for the two projects. Mr. Driver stated the County would be well served to use County-based businesses. Mr. Clark, Clark Construction, stated Clark Construction is a local business and is very involved in the community. The issue of concern is freedom of choice. The County’s proposed policy will limit the freedom of choice. Mr. Clark further stated a PLA will require non-union workers to pay union dues. The PLA is not equitable for everyone in the community. Mr. Mosser said the County can stipulate what is included in their PLA. A PLA provides oversight and accountability. He further stated he is present this evening to protect the people who are working on the projects, not the business owners. Mr. Stevens said PLA’s are for better wages and this would result in a better community. Mr. Strank stated a payroll audit shows that the employees are paid. If anything, a PLA limits where the employees come from within the community. Mr. Parker asked people in attendance to raise their flags to demonstrate their support for PLA’s. He then stated PLA’s support people making health care benefits for their families and people making a decent wage. PLA’s also support a pension so that people can retire and live with dignity in their old age. Mr. Kirk said we all need to work for the benefit of all union and non-union local residents.

GREBNER, SUPPORTED BY COMM. KOENIG, TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE RECLASSIFICATION OF THE CHIEF DEPUTY TREASURER. Comm. Vickers asked for clarification regarding the cost of this position. Mr. Schertzing explained that this position will result in lower attorney costs. Those costs will be returned to the County’s General Fund. Comm. Grebner asked if the Treasurer can use revolving funds without Board approval. Mr. Myers stated the Treasurer is to seek Board approval in this matter; however, staff trusts Mr. Schertzing.

In response to Chairperson Celentino, Mr. Schertzing explained the tax revision process. He stated this is a foreclosure process. Chairperson Celentino then asked why the Treasurer does not use the County Attorney for this matter. Mr. Schertzing said the County Attorneys do not work on foreclosure matters. Comm. Copedge asked about the proposed salary for this position. Mr. Schertzing stated he estimates this position will result in a sustainable savings of $40,000 per fiscal year in payments to outside legal vendors. Comm. Copedge said the savings would only be $10,000. He then asked if the Treasurer will need to hire an additional employee to cover the work that Mr. Schlinker currently does. Mr. Schertzing said Mr. Schlinker may use a quarter of his time for the legal work. He further stated there will be ample savings over the long term that will work its way into the General Fund. Comm. Copedge stated he wants to ensure that the Treasurer’s Office will not need an additional employee due to the proposed reclassification. Mr. Schertzing stated the Treasurer’s Office’s responsibilities are affected by many other factors. He also stated there is no expectation that the reclassification will result in an additional employee. Comm. Holman asked if the job description was written specifically for Mr. Schlinker. Mr. Lindsey stated the job description was fitted to Mr. Schlinker because he has a legal degree. If Mr. Schlinker leaves this position, the Treasurer will find another person with the same qualifications. Comm. Koenig stated the savings resulting from the reclassification are actually about $33,000 in legal fees. Comm. Grebner pointed out that this position is under the control of the Treasurer. All these matters are cooperative between the Board of Commissioners and the Treasurer’s Office. MOTION CARRIED with Comm. Vickers voting NO.

b. Resolution to Authorize Movement of Two (2) Vacant Insurance Positions to the Ingham County Financial Services Department

MOVED BY COMM. GREBNER, SUPPORTED BY COMM. VICKERS, TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE MOVEMENT OF TWO (2) VACANT INSURANCE POSITIONS TO THE INGHAM COUNTY FINANCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT. Mr. Myers explained the Insurance Billing Coordinator and the Benefit and Insurance Administrator positions will be moved from the Human Resources Department to the Financial Services Department. This move will result in greater efficiency. Mr. Myers also reviewed the financial aspects of this Resolution. Comm. Grebner stated the costs for these positions should be figured at the top step. Mr. Myers said he will have that information for the Finance Committee meeting tomorrow evening. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

5. Management Information Services Department – Resolution to Approve Entering into an Agreement with the Spyglas Group for Telecommunication Expense Management for Ingham County

MOVED BY COMM. GREBNER, SUPPORTED BY COMM. VICKERS, TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION TO APPROVE ENTERING INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE SPYGLAS GROUP FOR TELECOMMUNICATION EXPENSE MANAGEMENT FOR INGHAM COUNTY. Mr. Shewchuk explained the Spyglas Group will audit all of the County’s telecommunication expenses and make cost savings recommendations. In Phase I (typically 4-6 months) of this agreement, Spyglas will examine our current expenses and will retain 50% of the recovered savings. Ingham County will retain the other 50%. After Phase I, all cost savings recovered will be retained by Ingham County. In addition, Ingham County will pay Spyglas $4,000 per month for a 12-month period to assist the County in further reducing telecommunication costs. Comm. Vickers asked what Spyglas would look for per the contract. Mr. Shewchuk stated Spyglas will audit the County’s bills and they will work with the vendors. Without the vendor, it would take two full time employees to perform this service. Comm. Holman asked if this process was done recently. Mr. Shewchuk stated if the auditing was performed, it was before he assumed his position. Comm. Grebner asked if this service will always be needed. Mr. Shewchuk said this contract will be evaluated after the first twelve months. A recommendation will be submitted to this Committee. Board Chairperson DeLeon asked how the determination was made to use Spyglas. Mr. Shewchuk explained that his office, the Purchasing and the Controller’s Offices evaluated the proposals. The list of vendors was reduced to two vendors, Spyglas and RMS Associates. Spyglas was selected due to their skills and their costs. Board Chairperson DeLeon stated the 50% recovery cost is high. Mr. Shewchuk stated the 50% recovery fee is only for the first four to six months. Comm. Davis said the local vendor would cost less. Mr. Shewchuk stated staff called RMS references. The references indicated that RMS is mainly a consultant firm. Ingham County needs an auditing firm. Spyglas fits our needs at this time. Comm. Copedge asked if the contract will contain language regarding the 12-month period. Mr. Shewchuk stated the contract is for one year with an option to renew for additional two years. The cost is the same for the first two years of the contract. Mr. Shewchuk also stated he hopes to conduct this service in house in the future in an effort to save money. Comm. Koenig asked if this service has been performed in the past. Comm. Grebner said the County has done many different things in the past. Comm. Koenig also asked if most of the savings would be in the first four months of the contract. Mr. Shewchuk stated his office will receive regular reports and disclosures from the vendor. The MIS Department needs to get a handle on its expenses.

Comm. Grebner said this process is a good illustration between a bid process and a proposal process. The proposal process is more complicated than a bid process. This Committee’s role in this matter is to review staff’s recommendation and to approve same unless staff made a mistake. It sounds like staff did a good job in this matter. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7. County Services Committee – Resolution Authorizing the Ingham County Board of

Commissioners to Continue as a Member of the Lansing Area Economic Partnership (LEAP)

MOVED BY COMM. VICKERS, TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS TO CONTINUE AS A MEMBER OF THE LANSING AREA ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP (LEAP). MOTION DIED due to lack of support. MOVED BY COMM. GREBNER, SUPPORTED BY COMM. KOENIG, TO ALLOCATE $5,000 TO THE LANSING AREA ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP (LEAP) FOR A JUNIOR MEMBERSHIP. Chairperson Celentino stated the $5,000 membership does not allow the County to vote on LEAP’s issues. Comm. Vickers stated he supports the above motion with reservations. Joining LEAP is a better use of County funds than some other County projects. Board Chairperson DeLeon said the $5,000 is insignificant; however, it doesn’t allow us to vote. She then stated the concept with the Airport and LEAP is there will be a significant process to get Eaton and Clinton Counties on board. Potter Park is another matter to be addressed. Ingham County will see what kind of service it would receive from LEAP if it is a voting member. Comm. Copedge asked if the County is a full LEAP member, if LEAP could work out an agreement with Eaton and Clinton Counties regarding the Airport. Ms. Ferguson said a full membership is a voting membership. The County has to determine if it wants to be involved in the airport discussions. Comm. Copedge asked how important it is for LEAP to have a regional airport. Ms. Ferguson stated that issue is very important for LEAP. This matter ranks highly on their list of priorities. Comm. Koenig asked if there is any reason for the County to be a $5,000 member. Ms. Ferguson said the County would not have a voice in the strategy for the projects. Comm. Koenig asked what the County gained during its first year as a member of LEAP. Ms. Ferguson stated one of the key areas LEAP focused on was transportation. LEAP has not yet focused on the airport issue. Chairperson Celentino said he will vote against the motion. The County should be a full member or not a member at all. The Committee can reevaluate its position next year. Comm. Dougan echoed Chairperson Celentino’s statements above.

Ms. Ferguson said Ms. Pigg has been a critical person for the LEAP’s retention team. This partnership would dissolve if the County is not a full member. MOTION CARRIED with Comms. Celentino and Vickers voting NO. 6. Purchasing Department – Ingham County Construction Policy Mr. Myers said he met with Mr. Terrill, Mr. Hudgins and Ms. Valentine to address this Committee’s concerns about this Policy. Staff also met with the Board Chairperson to review the Policy. The Policy before the Committee tonight addresses this Committee’s concerns and suggestions. Comm. Grebner said his general sense is that this Committee will adopt a Project Labor Agreement Policy. The Committee should not debate if it wants a PLA or not. It should focus on the critical specific problems for staff to address. The issues include: the minimal amount that applies to the PLA; focus on a construction amount that is higher than $50,000; and the requirement for non-union workers to pay union benefit funds. Comm. Grebner said staff should determine the vendors’ concerns. Comm. Grebner suggested the Committee should not change its underlying policy regarding local vendors’ preference. The Committee should agree that it likes PLA’s. He further stated the Committee should not try to solve five different political disputes. If the Committee wants to change the local preference policy, it should be done separately. Comm. Vickers referred to page two of the Attorney’s Attorney/Client Privilege letter dated April 20, 2009. He stated the Committee should keep the first four and the last bullets in mind during these discussions. Comm. Vickers then volunteered to work with staff on this matter. Comm. Grebner stated the County should have a process that it assumes in the event that a PLA is not necessary for a specific project. This Committee would approve a resolution which explains why a PLA is not needed. Comm. Holman said this Committee has not defined a PLA yet. The Committee needs to determine what it wants that is different from the current policies. Do we need a PLA or just another alternative to the current policies? Comm. Davis said a PLA would protect the project workers. Comm. Holman said this concern could be addressed in a number of forms. A template should be drafted to address specific concerns. Mr. McNulty, County Attorney, stated if the Committee does not want a union-only policy, it should not be called a PLA. He then explained that PLA’s are only allowed for construction projects. Most of the bullets on page two of his letter are negotiable items. Mr. McNulty stated the definition of a PLA is contained on page one of his letter.

Page 11: INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS P.O. Box 319, … · Mr. Eastwood, IBEW, said the proposed policy does not include “union only” language. He then spoke about the ABC website.

Comm. Grebner said a PLA has to accept union contracts. If there are specific reasons why this is not rationale, there should be alternatives to the PLA. He further said it should not be impossible for a non-union vendor to bid on a County contract. Comm. Vickers said this Committee originally spoke about having better oversight on County projects. The five bullet points in the County Attorney letter would mean the difference between a PLA and a non-union contract. Board Chairperson DeLeon referred to the Ingham County Construction Projects Valued at $50,000 or more or 2006-2009 spreadsheet. She stated she asked staff to identify which vendors are registered with the County, which vendors have received payment from the County and how much money was received during the same time period. From 2006 to 2009, there were 27 registered vendors, 21 received payment from the County, there were three bidders, and four bidders did not proceed through the normal process because they were for the Drain Office. Of the vendors who received payment from the County, 14 of them received under $48,000. Two of those vendors worked on the same project. Board Chairperson DeLeon stated the Ingham Academy project probably would have fallen under the terms of a PLA. Comm. Grebner said the amounts paid are not necessarily the cost of the projects. Ms. Valentine stated a very large project would only list one vendor. Chairperson Celentino said staff should understand what this Committee is asking of them in this matter. Staff should determine the minimal contract amount and the required amount of funds for non-union contractors. The Committee is not dealing with the local preference policy at this time. Comm. Copedge stated staff should address the two mandatory issues with the County Attorney. The County Attorney should develop ideas for staff and the Commissioners to consider. Mr. Myers said staff will address the minimal amount, determine if anyone who bids on the project would have to pay into the retirement funds; address when a PLA might or might not be appropriate. The Local Preference Policy will not be addressed at this time. Board Chairperson DeLeon said the Construction Policy includes a piece that addresses the use of a PLA. The Policy requires a PLA. She then said the only part that should be changed in this Policy is the minimal amount. Comm. Vickers stated the five bullet points should be reviewed by this Committee. The County many not need a PLA; it may need an alternative document. Mr. McNulty said the two elements needed for a PLA are a union and a no-strike provision. This is a real collective bargaining agreement. He will help staff to draft a policy to meet the concerns from this Committee. Vendors will need to determine if they want to agree with a PLA. Mr. Terrill stated staff will come back to this Committee with a Policy that addresses it needs. 8. Controller’s Office a. Resolution Authorizing Adjustments to the 2009 Ingham County Budget

MOVED BY COMM. GREBNER, SUPPORTED BY COMM. COPEDGE, TO APPROVE THE SUBSTITUTE RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ADJUSTMENTS TO THE 2009 INGHAM COUNTY BUDGET. Comm. Vickers stated he voted against this Resolution in the Human Services Committee meeting on Monday. He expressed his concern about the items that aren’t needed. Board Chairperson DeLeon reminded the Committee that some of the items in the budget are funded through grants. Comm. Davis said she also voted against this item in the Human Services Committee on Monday. She then stated the email she received today cleared her concerns. Comm. Davis said she will support this item for the Finance Committee tomorrow evening. MOTION CARRIED with Comm. Celentino and Vickers voting NO.

b. Resolution Establishing Areas of Priority Emphasis Guiding 2010 Activities and Budget Process

MOVED BY COMM. GREBNER, SUPPORTED BY COMM. COPEDGE, TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING AREAS OF PRIORITY EMPHASIS GUIDING 2010 ACTIVITIES AND BUDGET PROCESS. Comm. Vickers stated he took issue with the road patrol matter at the Human Services Committee last evening. The phrase “supporting public safety” is a concern. Comm. Vickers asked for the definition of “supporting.” MOVED BY COMM. HOLMAN, SUPPORTED BY COMM. GRENBER, TO AMEND THE SECTION TO PROMOTE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND SMART GROWTH, SPECIFIC ENHANCEMENT: SEVENTH LINE, REMOVE “(OR “SUCH AS LEED STANDARDS”).” Comm. Holman said she will not support this Resolution because of the road patrol language. MOTION TO AMEND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Comm. Holman asked which road patrol services will be eliminated.

The Board Referrals were received and placed on file.

Announcements Mr. Myers said the Committee tabled the Resolution to Transfer the Jury Administration Duties from the Ingham County Management Information Systems Department to the Ingham County Jury Administrator at the April 7 Committee meeting. Mr. Bryanton wants to make sure that he has an agreement with the Circuit Court before this Resolution is approved. Mr. Myers stated Mr. Bryanton made it clear to him that he would not accept the position due to the emails he received from the Court. This will not be a workable situation in the Clerk’s position. Mr. Myers stated he will request the Board of Commissioners to allow his Office to work with the Clerk and assume those duties until something can be worked out with the Court. If this matter is not resolved, the Committee will see a resolution to have the position in his Office. Comm. Copedge said there should be cooperation between elected officials to better the County. We should look at other ways or methods to mold the Court into being more cooperative. This is an opportunity to improve efficiently. The Committee needs to open the eyes of the Court in some way. Comm. Koenig agreed with Comm. Copedge’s comments. She then asked if the problem is related to personalities. Comm. Koenig also asked if it is possible for the staff to work out this problem. Mr. Myers indicated this problem cannot be resolved. Comm. Vickers said we need to do a better job to let people know that an upcoming change will affect them. Mr. Myers provided a brief history and background of the jury position. The Clerk agreed to try to take on the jury duties. Judge Collette and the Court both said they did not want the two positions under their wing. Chairperson Celentino informed the Committee that the May 5, 2009 meeting will start at 6:00 p.m. The first County Services Committee meeting of the month will be held at 6:00 p.m. instead of 7:00 p.m. Public Comment: None The meeting adjourned at 9:34 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Debra Neff

Partnership Agreement between

Ingham County Treasurer and Legal Services of South Central Michigan

This Partnership Agreement is entered into between Eric Schertzing, Ingham County

Treasurer (Treasurer) as the Foreclosing Governmental Unit, and Legal Services of South Central Michigan (Legal Services) effective April 1, 2009, for a term of two years through March 31, 2011. Purpose:

Both parties wish to assist low and moderate income owners/occupants who are in jeopardy of losing their homes due to tax-foreclosure (or due to predatory mortgage practices associated with or triggered by the non-payment of property taxes) and mortgage foreclosure, especially with assisting victims of predatory lending practices.

Legal Services agrees to provide these owners/occupants with a full range of legal services to households facing foreclosure, including: advice and advocacy regarding homestead, probate, or competency issues; advice and assistance with hardship or poverty applications; advice and assistance in accessing emergency funding or public assistance; advice and assistance in real property matters relating to the possible tax foreclosure; advice and assistance in real property matters relating to mortgage foreclosure, including cases where we suspect there may be rescue scams or predatory lending practices. These services may include: home visits, board of review hardship application preparation and advocacy, recommendations for and preparation of loan and grant documents for payment of delinquent taxes, assistance with hardship exemption applications, referral to various social work, mental health, or other social organizations, income tax preparation, negotiation with other parties regarding the homeowners’ legal claims, direct representation in administrative hearings, and direct representation in court proceedings. Because coordination of services with other services providers is an important element in serving these homeowners, Legal Services agrees to send staff to any services coordination meetings at the request of the Treasurer.

All legal assistance activities under this Agreement will be provided by Legal Services to

its clients based on Legal Services’ exercise of its independent legal opinion on behalf of agency

clients. While the Treasurer will refer clients to Legal Services, the attorney-client relationship

will be between the owner/occupant and Legal Services.

Page 21: INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS P.O. Box 319, … · Mr. Eastwood, IBEW, said the proposed policy does not include “union only” language. He then spoke about the ABC website.

Scope: Persons eligible for referral include any customer of the Treasurer’s Office who is in jeopardy of forfeiture or foreclosure for non-payment of taxes, or any customer who the Treasurer’s Office believes may be a victim of predatory lending practices. In addition, eligible clients include persons facing tax or mortgage foreclosure who contact Legal Services directly or who are referred to Legal Services by other community agencies. Legal Services will accept for purposes of assessment and advice customers referred by the Treasurer’s office regardless of the customer’s income, as long as the home at issue is the customer’s primary residence (i.e., not an investment property) and as long as the referred client does not represent a conflict of interest for Legal Services. Customers who would otherwise not have priority eligibility for Legal Services may be served under this Agreement. Details: Responsibilities of the County Treasurer:

Agenda Item 3e April 23, 2009

TO: County Services & Finance Committees FROM: Eric Schertzing, Ingham County Treasurer RE: Land Bank Funding When the Land Bank authority was established in 2005, writing this memo was not expected. In 2005, it would have been hard to imagine how far the economy and housing market have fallen. The shared leadership in Ingham County that created the Land Bank gives us a tool to rebuild our community. The Land Bank has worked diligently with local government and other stakeholders to increase the capacity in our community to do good. The request to the Land Bank to assist in the improvement to homes has been overwhelming. The opportunities are greater than perhaps ever, but the burden is great. The Land Bank model of holding and maintaining property, renovating and selling to owner occupants whenever possible, has been embraced by policy makers and citizens alike. Our property inventory has grown faster than could have been expected. This funding will allow the Land Bank to add capacity and continue to carry out its work. The additional resources coming into the delinquent tax revolving fund because of our housing crisis are sufficient to fund this capacity building request.

INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

RESOLUTION TO PROVIDE THE INGHAM COUNTY LAND BANK FAST TRACK AUTHORITY WITH CAPACITY BUILDING FUNDING

WHEREAS, the incidence of tax and mortgage foreclosure caused by economic turmoil and hardship through 2011 is expected to be significant; and WHEREAS, in 2005 the County, County Treasurer and the Michigan Land Bank Fast Track Authority entered into an agreement to establish an Ingham County Land Bank; and WHEREAS, the Land Bank has grown to be a significant economic development tool in Ingham County and is the major public responder to the plight of property thrown into tax and mortgage foreclosure; and WHEREAS, the need exists for additional capacity at the Land Bank to deal with the growing inventory of property and the federal housing initiative(s) through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program; and WHEREAS, the increased incidence of tax delinquency, forfeiture and foreclosure while increasing the responsibilities placed upon the Land Bank is also increasing the revenue to the delinquent tax revolving fund for tax years 2006 through 2008; and WHEREAS, the Land Bank has significant physical assets with value to unlock and redeploy in the future, but faces property management and disposition challenges currently. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the County Board of Commissioners authorizes annual funding of $250,000 to the Ingham County Land Bank from the Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund for three years (516-25606 – 516-25608). BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the County Controller/Administrator is directed to make all necessary budget adjustments consistent with this resolution.

Agenda Item 4

To: County Services Committee From: Jamie McAloon Lampman, Director CC: Dr. Matthew Myers County Controller John Neilsen Deputy Controller Date: April 13, 2009

Re: Request for recommendation to waive hiring freeze on vacant Shelter Operator Position

The position of Animal Shelter Operator (kennel staff) has been vacant since April, 2, 2009. This position is responsible for the care and maintenance of over 200 animals daily as well as the maintenance of the shelter facility and the euthanization of animals necessary to make the space for incoming animals.

This vacancy does create a severe hardship on all aspects of the department. In 2008 this vacancy resulted in the accumulation of excessive overtime while it was vacant. This position is essential to meeting the fundamental needs of the department. Without it we can not meet the demand for space at the shelter nor care of the animals and the maintenance of the facility. If not filled, it will certainly result in hindering the department’s ability to adequately and humanely process and care for the over-5000 animals to be received in 2009. This position is not slated to be cut in 2009 and funds are available in the general fund. The minimum total personnel costs (salary and fringes) to maximum personnel costs cost for the FT Animal Shelter Operator range from $56,608 including fringe benefits to total maximum cost is $69,518 including fringe benefits. ICAC is planning on replacing this position at the minimum cost for 2009. This position is fully funded by the General Fund.

ICAC is one of the busiest and most heavily populated shelters in Michigan. With only three full-time kennel operators to attend to over 200 dogs, cats and miscellaneous animals daily, the staff is already below suggested staffing levels. This vacancy will impede ICAC’s ability to meet the Department of Agriculture’s minimum standards for care of animals in a shelter. Kennel Operators work seven days per week and cover 8-10 hour shifts each day. The use of trustee labor is limited to simple tasks as they are not trained or skilled to do the work kennel operators perform. They are not a viable substitute. The training and skill required to perform a kennel operator’s duties involve disease control, medical knowledge, the handling of vicious animals, criminal cases and the maintenance of facility operations. This is well beyond what we could expect from trustee labor.

Page 29: INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS P.O. Box 319, … · Mr. Eastwood, IBEW, said the proposed policy does not include “union only” language. He then spoke about the ABC website.

This position requires a well trained individual with the skills to handle complex duties such as euthanasia, vaccinations, medical treatments, report writing, and coordination efforts with the health department on communicable diseases and numerous issues to many to include here.

SERVICE IMPACTS

• Inability to meet the minimum standards of the Department of Agriculture • Inability to accept animals as a result of inability to euthanize animals in a

timely manner adequate for emptying kennels to make room for the new animals arriving hourly.

• Decline in the quality of care and services provided to animals and citizens

• Decline of effectiveness of staff • Threat to the safety and health of the staff; the public and the animals. • Increase in customer complaints

Laux Construction LLC, who submitted the lowest responsive and responsible bid, was chosen after going through a competitive bidding process and the recommendation of the Purchasing Department.

Agenda Item 8 January 8, 2009 To: Ingham County Board of Commissioners County Services Committee From: Tom Shewchuk, MIS Director Subject: Collaboration of Information Technology Resources ______________________________________________________________________________ The Ingham County Management Information Services (MIS) department continues to be presented with collaboration opportunities from other government, educational, and county agencies. Today, many of our agencies are utilizing duplicate computer systems and software to support our operations. Consolidating these resources will allow all parties to achieve significant cost savings and more efficient operations. For example, MIS currently supports and maintains the Tri-County Office on Aging network and the Computer Aided Dispatch and Records Management System for all Law Enforcement agencies in Ingham County, except the City of Lansing. MIS has been meeting with agencies such as the Ingham Intermediate School District (IISD), The City of Lansing, The City of East Lansing, Livingston County, and Michigan Primary Care, to discuss the possibilities of sharing computer systems and services. MIS already possesses many these computer systems in our Data Center that could be made available to other agencies. IISD has expressed an interest in relocating their new Student Record Management Software in our Data Center and utilizing our new Cisco IP Phone application. Livingston County and Arialink wish to connect their county to Ingham County with a high-speed fibre connection. This would allow for information to be shared between county agencies such as the Register of Deeds and provide a backup site for our future 911 phone system. The possibilities of collaboration are endless and make sense, especially in these tough economic times. The reason for this memo is to seek direction, feedback, and support from the Board of Commissioners to pursue potential collaboration efforts. These opportunities will have an affect on our current staff and the support of our current customers. If managed correctly, this should not be an issue but a positive experience for all involved. I have also attached a separate document with some further detail on collaboration efforts being pursued within the State of Michigan.

Agenda Item 8

Information Technology Collaboration Initiatives – State of Michigan State Panel Looks at Consolidation and Collaboration: A special Government efficiency panel is charged by the Legislature with finding ways to reduce costs by reducing the number of governmental units in the state. For years, governors have looked at consolidating school districts and local units of government. A source familiar with the commissions work said that the commission feels that Michigan has too many townships and school districts. One solution would be to link revenue sharing to the consolidation of local services. Under this proposal, which has not been approved by the commission, a new constitutional revenue sharing funding formula would be created into state law: If local units combined services, they would get more state aid and if they did not, they would get less state aid. It is also considering recommendations for consolidating computer systems in the state (statewide data center). The panel will probably draft a report by the end of the year, but the final report is not due until October 2009. From: Michigan ASCD - Source: December 12, 2008 <http://michiganascd.org/> Email excerpts from Kevin MacRitchie to George Boersma at the State of Michigan Department of Information Technology. Kevin works for Cisco and is currently on a Fellowship program to work with Local, County and State government: “I entered the Fellowship program with the mission of bringing together Local, County and State influencers, and decision makers, on a unified strategic plan to cost effectively utilize technology to advance the quality of education for students K-12. Within the year, it became much more and now I’m leading a 5 pronged strategic plan:

– Continue the original work underway in Livingston County with Pinckney Community Schools

– Lead the technology expansion efforts to seven (7) additional counties – Create a state wide initiative involving 16-20 counties (directed by MDE) that will make

both an east-west corridor and north-south interconnected corridor ultimately leading to an 83 county broadband interconnect initiative connecting regional ISD & County governmental regional networks to a statewide broadband backbone in conjunction with MDIT

– Provide leadership and present solutions at conferences either led by the State of Michigan Department of Education, Michigan Association of Computer Users in Learning (MACUL), Consortium of School Networks (CoSN), State Education Technology Directors Association (SETDA National Convention in D.C.), and others including an invitational session by Michigan Lt. Governor John Cherry.

– Work with Senators, Legislators, and the Lt. Governor to change legislation which will pave the way to eliminating the stove piped budgets and managerial control enabling lower cost cross agency collaboration for network improvements in capacity and capability. This will enable both major focus areas of this initiative: 1) Shared Infrastructure and 2) Shared Services to reduce operating costs throughout the state by way of investment in capital networking equipment”.

Agenda Item 9a MEMORANDUM

TO: Finance and Liaison Committees FROM: Matthew J. Myers, Ph.D., Controller/Administrator DATE: April 24, 2009 SUBJECT: 2010 Update of County Fees When the Board of Commissioners adopted Resolution #02-155, setting various fees for county services, the Controller's Office was directed to annually review the fees and to recommend adjustments. This review has been completed and some adjustments are being presented to the Board of Commissioners for their consideration. This information is being presented at the current round of committee meetings as a discussion item. A resolution recommending any fee increases will be presented at the next round of meetings: however, a draft version for discussion is included in this packet. Attached are spreadsheets detailing the recommended adjustments to fees to be effective for the Health Department on October 1, 2009 and for all other departments on January 1, 2010. The first set of spreadsheets is an analysis of the 2010 update of county fees. The following information is included for each fee: 1. Location of Service. 2. Fee Description. 3. The 2009 cost as calculated in last year’s fee update process. 4. The cost increase factor. This is based on the 3-year average increase for each

department’s adopted General Fund Budget from 2006 to 2007, 2007 to 2008 and 2008 to 2009.

5. The 2010 cost, which is calculated by multiplying the 2009 cost by the cost increase

factor. 6. As identified by the Board of Commissioners, the target percent was determined by the

percentage of cost to be recovered by the fee for service. The target percent for each fee was initially passed by Resolution #02-155. For other fees added after the passage of Resolution #02-155, it is assumed that the fee as passed is charged at the appropriate cost with a target recovery of 100%.

7. The 2009 fees were passed by Resolution #08-145. In February 2009, the fee for

certified copies of vital records was amended by the Clerk’s Office by Resolution #09-

Page 56: INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS P.O. Box 319, … · Mr. Eastwood, IBEW, said the proposed policy does not include “union only” language. He then spoke about the ABC website.

028. (Since passage of these resolutions, some fees have been amended or added, as noted on the spreadsheets.)

8. The 2010 calculated fee is based on the 2010 cost multiplied by the target percent. 9. Although many fees were proposed to remain unchanged in 2010, the initial proposed

fees were determined by rounding down the calculated fee to the full dollar amount, and in some of the larger fees rounded to the lower $5 or $10 increment. In some cases, the cost multiplied by the target percent is much more than the current fee, so only an incremental increase is proposed, with the full cost times target percent planned to be reached after several years. Fees that are proposed to increase are presented in bold.

10. Units. This information is used to calculate revenue to be generated by the proposed

fees. This information was initially provided in the Maximus study, and in some cases, has been updated by the departments. The departments have not been able to estimate the number of units for all of the individual fees and therefore the projected additional revenue is understated.

11. Department Recommendation. In most cases, the department agreed with the initial

proposed fees. In cases where there is disagreement, information such as a memo of explanation from the department has been included.

12. Controller/Administrator Recommendation: In all cases, the Controller/Administrator

agreed with the department recommendations. 13. Additional revenue is projected from the Controller/Administrator’s Recommended

increase in fees multiplied by the units. The final spreadsheet presents a summary of fees proposed to be increased in 2010. They simply list the 2009 fee, the department recommendations, the Controller/Administrator recommendation, and projected additional revenue, for each of the fees where an increase is proposed. As shown in the attached correspondence, some of the departments disagreed with the initially proposed fees. The Controller/Administrator took this feedback under consideration and made final recommendations based on the Maximus study and the department input.

(a) The Drain Commissioner’s Office agreed with all the proposed fees except the deposits for the escrow accounts are recommended to stay the same as set for 2009. These escrow accounts are not actually fees, rather they are deposited funds which are utilized for additional costs only if necessary. The Drain Office is also adding commercial soil erosion permits based on duration. Rather than having one fee for commercial soil erosion, they are recommending a 12 month, 9 month, and 6 month permit fee as they are with residential soil erosion permits. In addition, GIS has been removed from the description for photography, topography, and floodplain/wetland fees.

Page 57: INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS P.O. Box 319, … · Mr. Eastwood, IBEW, said the proposed policy does not include “union only” language. He then spoke about the ABC website.

(b) The Circuit Court, Family Division, and Friend of the Court agreed with the initial proposed fees except for the FOC Bench Warrant fee, Felony Case Costs, Show Cause-Probation fee, and Delinquency costs. The Controller’s Office initially proposed increasing the FOC Bench Warrant fee by $50 based on the cost. However, the department recommended increasing it by only $25 to $225 as this fee has been raised significantly in the past few years. The Felony Case costs and Show Cause Probation are recommended to stay at the same as set for 2009. Because of all the other costs and fees, the Judges assess they don’t feel an increase in the Felony Case costs and Show Cause-Probation fees are appropriate in 2010. In addition, the Delinquency costs are recommended to decrease by $5 from the 2009 rate down to $150 in 2010. The Family Division also added a Ticket Fee Schedule for each offense rather than one flat rate for traffic violations. Although a flat fee was set on the fee schedule in previous years, this is the Ticket Fee Schedule that has always been used by the department.

(c) The District Court will be charging the offender a presentence report fee of $100 for 2010. The Controller’s Office has recommended each year a fee for this service. However, prior to this year, the department has chosen to charge $0. By statute, the Court can only assess fees to recoup the actual cost of the expense. The Court has determined that the actual expense of producing a presentence report is $100. All other District Court fees are recommended to remain the same as set for 2009.

(d) The Animal Control Department agreed with all initial proposed fees except for increases in licensing and adoption fees. As explained by the Department, it is not common practice for dog license fees to change annually. In most municipalities and counties the fees are seldom changed within a five year period. The prices should remain consistent for at least every third or fifth year. This helps to avoid cost incurred for printing and copying as new forms, tickets, brochures and other necessary documents require changing each time the fee changes thus incurring substantial costs and waste. The Department argues that they can stand to lose what little revenue gain they get from price increases through loss of time and money changing the materials, not to mention the frustration felt by citizens who feel confused by the constant changes. Thousands of dollars of printing goes out of date each time fees a raised. The Animal Control Department is also recommending the addition of a Boarding Fee for Dangerous Animals. These animals are deemed to be extremely dangerous and require special restrictions care due to their dangerous nature. The average boarding fee at animal shelters ranges from $7-$20 per day depending on size and species. The Department is recommending an additional $11 boarding fee be added to the current $11 fee on dangerous animals, bringing their total boarding fee to $22 per day. These animals require twice the time and twice the amount of staffing to care for them. This fee does not include the additional cost to ICAC associated with the need to purchase specialized equipment to deal with their volatile nature or the veterinary and medical cost associated with those animals, and staff members whom these animals have attacked and injured or the costs of property and equipment which they have damaged. Those costs are not recouped even with increased boarding fees.

(e) Cooperative Extension recommended the 2010 soil box analysis to remain the same as the 2009 fee. They currently have two types of soil analysis; a horticultural

Page 58: INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS P.O. Box 319, … · Mr. Eastwood, IBEW, said the proposed policy does not include “union only” language. He then spoke about the ABC website.

analysis and an agricultural analysis. Although the fee was $12 on the 2009 fee schedule, they still continued to charge the farmers $10 for the agricultural analysis. So, rather than raising the horticultural fee, they are instead recommending to charge the same $12 fee for both types of soil analysis, thus increasing the total revenue.

If all fee increases were enacted as recommended by the Controller’s Office, it is projected that an additional $229,161 would be generated in 2010. The current total revenue generated by the listed fees is approximately $4.3 million, so the fee adjustments would increase the base by about 6.3%. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this information. Attachments

DRAFT Introduced by the Finance Committee of the:

INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

RESOLUTION UPDATING VARIOUS FEES FOR COUNTY SERVICES

WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners set various fees for county services in Resolution #02-155 based on information and recommendations of the Maximus Cost of Services Analysis completed in 2002; and WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners also established the percent of the cost of providing the services which should be recovered by such fees, referred to in this process as a “target percent”; and WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners has directed the Controller’s Office to establish a process for the annual review of these fees and target percents; and WHEREAS, this process begins with the calculation of a cost increase factor, which is equal to the previous three year average increase in the General Fund adopted budget for the appropriate departments; and WHEREAS, this cost increase factor is applied to the previous year’s calculated cost and multiplied by the target percent and in most cases rounded to the lower full dollar amount in order to arrive at a preliminary recommended fee for the upcoming year; and WHEREAS, in cases where the calculated cost multiplied by target percent is much higher than the current fee, the fee will be recommended to increase gradually each year until the full cost multiplied by target percent is reached, in order to avoid any drastic increases in fees; and WHEREAS, in cases where the calculated cost multiplied by target percent is lower than the current fee, no fee increase will be recommended for that year; and WHEREAS, after initial recommendations are made by the Controller/Administrator, these recommendations are distributed to the affected offices and departments, in order to receive their input; and WHEREAS, after reviewing the input from the affected offices and departments, the Controller /Controller makes final recommendations to the Board of Commissioners; and WHEREAS, the Controller’s Office has finished its annual review of these fees and recommended increases where appropriate, based on increased costs of providing services supported by these fees and the percent of the cost of providing the services which should be covered by such fees as established by the Board of Commissioners; and
