Committee votes to decline $500 proposed payment to county commissioners
Last Wednesday, Aug. 29, members of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners' Human Resources Committee voted 5 - 3 in favor of the full Board of Commissioners' members declining a one-time $500 payment that is recommended for all county employees for the FY 2013 Budget.
Commissioner Bill Dwyer, who made the motion to decline the payment, stated, "Given the hard economic times, and the fact that county commissioners are elected to serve the people of the county, in a representative capacity that the commissioners should lead by example and not accept the one-time payment meant for all full-time employees who have sacrificed by not having a pay raise in the last few years." He also echoed that sentiment at last Thursday's Finance Committee Meeting.
Since 2010, when by resolution, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners voluntarily took a 2.5% pay cut which coincided with the 2.5% pay cuts of Oakland County employees as part of the Fiscal Year Budget of 2010 and 2011 recommendations of County Executive L. Brooks Patterson.
The $500 payment issue went before the Finance Committee Budget Wrap Up Public Hearing last Thursday and was passed 6-3 in favor of declining the payment, and will go before the full board of Commissioners as part of the Finance Committee's Budget recommendations for FY 2013-2015 of the County Executive's Budget.
