Comm. Schor asked about the changes to the original Resolution. Ms. Morton stated the changes are highlighted in bold language in the Substitute Resolution. Comm. Schor stated the “alternate funding mechanisms” language in the second BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED paragraph of the Substitute Resolution sounds like a Millage. Comm. Grebner suggested the language be amended as follows: BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners and County Staff will continue to work cooperatively with general law Townships to plan a transfer of funding for primary law enforcement services from the County’s general fund to the general law Townships.

ERIC SCHERTZING Ingham County Treasurer

Robert J. Damon, CPA P.O. Box 215 Chief Deputy Mason, MI 48854-215 517/676-7220 Karen Conroy [email protected] Property Tax Coordinator April 22, 2008 TO: Finance and County Services Liaison Committees FROM: Eric Schertzing RE: Resolution to Authorize Service Contracts Attached for your consideration is a resolution to authorize service contracts to conduct title searches on tax delinquent properties. In December 2004, the Ingham County Board of Commissioners with the consent of the Ingham County Treasurer, elected to have the County Treasurer act as foreclosing governmental unit (FGU) and assume responsibility of the delinquent property tax foreclosure process. Under Public Act 123 of 1999, section 211.78i (1), the FGU “…may enter into a contract with 1 or more authorized representatives to perform a title search…to identify the owners of a property interest in the property as required under this subsection.” The Purchasing Department solicited and received proposals. After reviewing the proposals, the County Treasurer decided to contract with two vendors to best handle the volume of title searches. The contracts will be funded by fees generated by Public Act 123, Section 211.78g (1). On May 24, 2005, the Board of Commissioners adopted resolution #05-143 to authorize a two year service contract with two vendors with a two year renewal provision. The County Treasurer’s primary title search vendor, Christopher John Mida, Inc., terminated his contract for the 2008 forfeiture cycle. To best meet the needs of the County, the Ingham County Treasurer, Eric Schertzing, seeks to replace this title search vendor. Freedom Title Insurance Agency & Abstract Company, LLC, submitted the lowest bid. Thank you for your consideration of this resolution. Please contact me if you have any questions.

MEMORANDUM To: Human Services Committee Finance Committee From: Ingham County LEPC Date: April 18, 2008 Subject: Authorization of a SARA Title III Data Analysis Grant Contract between the

Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and Ingham County Local Emergency Planning Committee.

This is a recommendation to authorize a reimbursable grant with the State of Michigan for the Tier II Manager web based program. The grant was to be administered through the Sheriff’s Office. The grant activities are all completed by the Local Emergency Planning Committee. The Tier II Manager streamlines the process of chemical inventory reporting. Chemical storage facilities can submit regulatory and planning information thru a set of simple on-line forms. In following years, the facilities can revise the existing information anytime, significantly reducing the expense of repeating the entire submission process each year. County and State planners can access real-time information to create emergency response plans and carry out comprehensive oversight activities. When rapid response is necessary, first responders can map all chemical storage facilities and instantly retrieve Tier II information, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and other supplemental information like site plans while mobilizing toward the emergency site. The application provides a comprehensive, cost-efficient way to meet regulatory requirements and provide emergency response information at the critical moment when decision-making matters the most. The State of Michigan SARA Title III program department will work with Intelligent Decisions Systems, Inc. (IDSI) to get this web based program out to interested LEPC’s within the State of Michigan. I recommend that the Board adopt the attached resolution and authorize grant.

MEMORANDUM To: Human Services Committee Finance Committee From: Dean Sienko, M.D., M.S., Health Officer Date: April 30, 2008 Subject: Authorize a Grant from the American Legacy Foundation to Address

Disparities in Cessation Access for Low Income Pregnant and Parenting Women.

Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable disease and death in our country, and the Health Department is strongly committed to reducing tobacco use in our community. Achieving cessation is especially important for pregnant and parenting smokers because their smoking poses risks not only for themselves but also for their pregnancies and children. The American Legacy Foundation, through its Small Innovative Grants Program, supports projects that advance creative, promising solutions to remedy the harm caused by tobacco in our country, based on sound principles of tobacco control. The goal of the Small Innovative Grants Program is to seed new projects or enable organizations to pilot new ideas or approaches. The Health Department submitted a proposal to the American Legacy Foundation for a project called “House Calls: Addressing Disparities in Cessation Access for Low Income Pregnant and Parenting Women”, which addresses disparities in access to cessation services for low income, pregnant and parenting women. Data show that this population smokes at a rate higher than the general population. They are also disproportionately targeted by the predatory marketing practices of tobacco companies. House Calls will address identified barriers and significantly augment the cessation support available to pregnant and parenting low income women who are being served by the Health Department. Department staff will work with Dr. Scott Thomas, a nationally renowned tobacco addiction expert, who will take a central role in developing, implementing, and monitoring the key components of the House Calls cessation intervention with pregnant women smokers. Dr. Thomas worked with the Health Department on an earlier grant project funded by American Legacy Foundation that ended in 2005. His role will also involve ongoing training and support to the advocates/nurses who will deliver the cessation intervention throughout the length of the grant. The American Legacy Foundation requires that at least 10% of direct costs be devoted to professional evaluation of the project. Dr. Ellen Whipple assisted with developing the House Calls proposal, and she will serve as evaluator of the project. She has been evaluating a wide variety of early intervention programs to determine their efficacy in reaching at-risk families for nearly 20 years, including Ingham County’s Jump Start Program. Dr. Whipple will be responsible for developing and executing a strong evaluation strategy that fits the needs of the

project. Her plan will include both a process and outcome evaluation. The grant period for this project is May 15, 2008 through May 14, 2009. The attached resolution will authorize acceptance of the up to $98,966.00 grant from the American Legacy Foundation. The resolution also includes authorization for sub-contracts with the tobacco consultant and the project evaluator. I recommend adoption of this resolution.

Agenda Item 4 RESOLUTION STAFF REVIEW DATE April 23, 2008 Agenda Item Title: Resolution Submitting to a Vote of the Electorate a Special

Millage for Farmland and Open Space Preservation Submitted by: Ingham County Agricultural Preservation Board Committees: LE , JD , HS , CS X , Finance X Summary of Proposed Action: (See attached letter of explanation.) This resolution will submit to a vote of the electorate a special millage for farmland and open space preservation. The proposed rate is 0.1400 mills ($0.14 per $1,000 of taxable value) for a period of ten (10) years (2008-2017) inclusive. Under the most conservative estimate, assuming the cost of a conservation easement for the average farmland or other space land in Ingham County is $2,500 per acre and the landowner donates 25% of the value of the conservation easement, 4,963 acres of farmland and an additional 1,173 acres of open space land can be protected over a 10 year time period. Financial Implications: If approved and levied in full, this Millage will raise an estimated additional $1,056,323 for farmland and open space preservation in the first calendar year of the levy based on state taxable valuation. Millage funds will be available for the preservation of farmland and open space beginning with the Agricultural Preservation Board’s 2009 landowner application cycle. Other Implications: Promoting environmental protection and smart growth, and specifically supporting the activities of the Agricultural Preservation Board including the creation/implementation of a purchase of development rights program, has been an ongoing priority of the Board of Commissioners. Staff Recommendation: MM X JN HH TM JC Staff recommends approval of the resolution.

Agenda Item 6a RESOLUTION STAFF REVIEW DATE April 24, 2008 Agenda Item Title: Resolution Submitting to a Vote of the Electorate a Special

Millage for Continuing Comprehensive Emergency Telephone Services (911 Services)

Submitted by: Ingham County Controller’s Office Committees: LE X , JD , HS , CS , Finance X Summary of Proposed Action: This resolution will submit to a vote of the electorate a special millage for continuing comprehensive emergency telephone services in Ingham County. Emergency telephone services in Ingham County are currently funded primarily through a combination of millage funds, a local landline surcharge, and a statewide cellular surcharge. This funding arrangement will change effective July 1, 2008 due to recently enacted P.A. 164 of 2007. Under the new funding arrangement the current statewide cellular surcharge and local landline surcharge will be replaced by a statewide charge of 19 cents and a local surcharge of 31 cents on all devices capable of calling 911. The future revenue stream from P.A. 164 of 2007 is uncertain at this time, because it has a sunset date of February 28, 2009. The Michigan Association of Counties is working to get the sunset extended and/or other legislation enacted to give Counties some stability in this funding for long term budgeting and planning purposes. Financial Implications: If approved on August 5, 2008 the .85 mill renewal would raise an estimated $6,790,381 the first year, if levied in full. The 2007 levy was 0.8431 mills, and that generated over $6 million in revenue. That amount represented approximately 77% of the total revenue for the 911 Fund for 2007. The millage has historically been the most consistent and stable source of funding for the County’s 911 system. The millage will continue to generate the majority of revenue for the County’s 911 Fund for the duration of the millage term, due to the uncertainties that surround P.A. 164 of 2007. The surcharges authorized under P.A. 164 in 2008/09 are intended to generate approximately the same amount of revenue as the previous surcharges. Until the legislation is extended past February of 2009 and we have a better understanding of exactly how much revenue the surcharge can generate is obtained, the millage is the only stable funding source available to Counties. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT WITH THE PROPOSED CONSOLIDATION OF THE TWO 911 CENTERS INTO ONE COUNTY OPERATED 911 CENTER THERE IS POTENTIALLY SOME SIGNIFICANT ONE TIME CAPITAL COSTS TO EITHER

PURCHASE AND RENOVATE AN EXISTING FACILITY OR BUILD A SUITABLE FACILITY AND ADEQUATELY EQUIP A 911 FACILITY FOR THIS PURPOSE Other Implications: The County Attorney has prepared the ballot language included in this resolution. Staff Recommendation: MM JN X TL TM JC Staff recommends approval of the resolution.

MAJOR 911 FUNDING SOURCES

4/24/2008

Millage (.8431 mills)

Ingham County has an E911 millage that provided approximately $6 million in revenue for FY 2007. This millage has been in effect since 1987. The current levy is .8431 mills. Until FY 2006, the levy was .7577 mills. The owner of a $150,000 home (with $75,000 taxable value) in Ingham County pays about $63 per year to the E911 Fund.

2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 budget $3,931,687 $4,202,728 $4,442,145 $4,665,765 $4,961,291 $5,854,575 $6,009,707 $6,218,160

(% increase) 6.89% 5.70% 5.03% 6.33% 18.01% 2.65% 3.47%

Telephone Surcharge (replaced by a countywide 31 cent surcharge on all devices 7/1/08) Ingham County assesses a surcharge on telephone land-lines in an amount equal to 4% of the highest monthly flat rate charged by a service supplier within the county. This surcharge was first enacted in 1996. The current monthly charge in Ingham Co. is $0.79. That $0.79 is made up of a $0.21 recurring technical charge, and a $0.58 operational charge. These are the charges seen listed separately on telephone bills. The $0.21 recurring charge covers costs of the phone company, including billing costs. $853,571 in revenue was received by Ingham County through this surcharge in 2007. This surcharge is eliminated as of 6/30/07. A new countywide 31 cent surcharge authorized by PA 164 of 2007 will roughly replace the current revenue stream.

2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 budget $1,090,995 $1,195,284 $1,112,965 $911,308 $1,070,880 $839,065 $853,571 $840,000

(% increase) 9.56% -6.89% -18.12% 17.51% -21.65% 1.73% -1.59%

Cellular Telephone Surcharge (replaced by a statewide 19 cent surchage on all devices 7/1/08) Ingham County began receiving revenue from the wireless telephone surcharge in the 2000 budget year. A $.29 surcharge is applied to monthly wireless phone bills to provide revenue for implementation of Wireless Phase I and Phase II E911. The approximately $350,000/year that is generated has helped to enhance response times and capabilities to incidents reported via wireless phone. This surcharge is eliminated as of 6/30/07. A new, statewide 19 cent surcharge on all devices as authorized by PA 164 of 2007 will roughly replace the current revenue stream.

2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 budget $246,654 $269,738 $296,269 $315,028 $344,520 $377,700 $392,782 $360,000

Agenda Item 6b

MEMORANDUM TO: Finance and Liaison Committees FROM: Matthew J. Myers, Ph.D., Controller/Administrator DATE: April 24, 2008 SUBJECT: 2009 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. 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, 2008 and for all other departments on January 1, 2009. The first set of spreadsheets is an analysis of the 2009 update of county fees. The following information is included for each fee: 1. Location of Service. 2. Fee Description. 3. The 2008 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 2005 to 2006, 2006 to 2007 and 2007 to 2008.

5. The 2009 cost, which is calculated by multiplying the 2008 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 fees as passed are charged at the appropriate cost with a target recovery of 100%.

7. The 2008 fees were passed by Resolution #07-118. In July 2007, the Health Department tobacco license fees were amended by Resolution #07-176 and other Health Department fees were amended by Resolution #07-177. In October 2007, the Health Department amended the influenza vaccination fee through Resolution #07-241; and in November 2007, the Health Department amended the regulation and increased the penalty fees for tobacco sales. (Since passage of these resolutions, some fees have been amended or added, as noted on the spreadsheets.)

8. The 2009 calculated fee is based on the 2009 cost multiplied by the target percent. 9. Although many fees were proposed to remain unchanged in 2009, 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 Recommendation. In all cases, the Controller agreed with the department

recommendations. 13. Additional revenue is projected from the Controller’s Recommended increase in fees

multiplied by the units. The final spreadsheet presents a summary of fees proposed to be increased in 2009. They simply list the 2008 fee, the department recommendations, the Controller 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 took this feedback under consideration and made final recommendations based on the department input.

(a) The Drain Commissioner’s Office suggested that 2009 fees remain as set for 2008. The economic downturn has so reduced the fee revenue that raising fees would bring in relatively little.

(b) The Circuit Court, Family Division, and Friend of the Court agreed with all initial proposed fees except for the FOC Bench Warrant fee and the Show Cause-Probation fee. Because of all the other costs and fees Judges assess, they don’t feel an increase

in the Show Cause-Probation fee is appropriate in 2009. The Bench Warrant fee increased from $35 in 2002 to $200 in 2007- a 471% increase. This fee is typically assessed on cases where the non-custodial party has not been paying child support. Give the current high unemployment rate and bleak economic outlook, they are concerned that an increase in the fee would be counterproductive in that it may hinder their ability to collect child support obligations. As the general fund only retains 2/3 of the bench warrant fees collected, the increase in revenue would not be worth the negative impact upon families from whom the fee would be “netted.”

(c) The District Court will not be increasing any service fees for the 2009 budget year. However, the Court is asking to amend the monthly probation oversight fee from $45 back to $35 in 2009.

(d) The Treasurer’s Office is asking to add a $3 tax service fee to the fee schedule for information emailed, mailed or faxed. However, individuals are welcome to search on-line or visit the office at no cost. The Treasurer’s Office would also like to increase the 2009 NSF check fee to $30.00 to be in uniformity with the Clerk’s Office.

(e) The Animal Control Department agreed with all initial proposed fees except for the sterilized dog license fee and the delinquent sterilized dog license fee. As stated in Resolution #06-336, Animal Control would like to create an incentive for pet owners to spay or neuter their pets since un-sterilized dogs account for the majority of service calls and resources used. The license program has made tremendous strides reaching an all-time high for compliance. This category of dog owners (the non-delinquent, spayed and neutered) are the most responsible of the dog owners as they license their dogs on time each year. They should be rewarded, not further taxed. Therefore, the Animal Control Department instead recommends attaching the proposed increase to the delinquent dog owners of spayed and neutered animals. Animal Control has also added some fees to the fee schedule, including a fee for Owner pick-up, Rabies de-cap, and On-call for redeemed animals.

(f) The Clerk’s Office recommends that the 2009 fees remain the same as the 2008 fees. The economic downturn has significantly reduced the fee revenue and therefore increasing the fees would bring in very little additional revenue. Next year, they will ensure an appropriate increase in fees will occur.

(g) The Sheriff’s Office added the Public Notary Fee for gun permits to the schedule recommending a fee of $10 for 2009 which is the maximum allowed by law.

(h) Cooperative Extension recommended the 2009 soil box analysis to remain the same as the 2008 fee since MSU has not raised the cost of analyzing the soil. By keeping the cost low, they hope to encourage soil testing for environmental purposes.

(i) The Prosecuting Attorney’s office agreed with all proposed fees except for the diversion interview fee which is recommended to remain at the 2008 rate. Once the fee goes beyond that amount, it becomes cost prohibitive for the applicant, particularly with the worsening economic conditions.

(j) The Health Department agreed with all proposed fees, except that they changed the structure of the sanitary survey fee to be one flat fee rather than an hourly rate and changed the structure of the campground inspection fee to different fees based on the number of sites. They have also added some new fees, including food service establishment fees for a school program production kitchen and a school program

satellite kitchen, and have also added rates for an additional number of hours of Office for Young Children (OYC) agency, advanced, and administrator training.

If all fee increases were enacted as recommended by the Controller’s Office, it is projected that an additional $356,795 would be generated in 2009. The current total revenue generated by the listed fees is approximately $4.1 million, so the fee adjustments would increase the base by about 9.5%.

Introduced by the Finance Committee of the:


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 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 the target percent is reached, in order to avoid any drastic increases in fees; and WHEREAS, in cases where the calculated cost multiplied by the 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, 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 makes final recommendations to the Board of Commissioners; and WHEREAS, the Controller’s Office has finished its annual review of these fees and has 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

WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners has reviewed the Controller’s recommendations including the target percentages, along with recommendations of the various county offices, departments, and staff. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Commissioners authorizes or encourages the following fee increases in Attachments A and B at the rates established effective January 1, 2009, with the exception of the Health Department, where new rates will be effective October 1, 2008. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the fees within major Health Department services are not included on the attachments and were not set by the policy above, but rather through policy established in Resolutions #05-166 and #05-242.

TOTALS $100 (1) Per MCL 333.2891, local clerks cannot charge more than the State fees of $26 for the first copy and $12 for the second. (2) This fee was established per Resolution 06-276 and increased by Resolution 07-020. (3) These fees were established by Resolution 06-277. (4) These fees were established per Resolution 06-316. (5) 2006 fee set by Resolution 05-336. (6) 2006 fee established per Resolution 05-241 (7) This fee was established in 2007 through the annual fee review process. (8) The Clerk's Office charges $30 because of a check recovery service and the Treasurer would like to have uniformity and recommends the 2009 increase to $30.

(9) The Treasurer's office charges this fee for tax information emailed, mailed, or faxed as customers can do searches on-line or come into the office for no charge up to a certain amount.

INGHAM CLERK’S OFFICE

On March 28, 2008, Mike Bryanton spoke to Matthew Myers and recommended that the 2009 fees for the County

Clerk’s office to remain the same as the 2008 fees. The economic downturn has significantly reduced the fee

revenue and therefore increasing the fees would bring in very little additional revenue. Next year, Mike Bryanton

will ensure an appropriate increase in fees will occur.

NOTE: For the Health Department, in many cases, a fee increase is proposed with no additional revenue projected. In these cases, fees are charged to Health Department clients on a sliding schedule based on income. An increase in fees will not necessarily result in an increased cost to clients. The fees are proposed to increase in order to collect increased revenue from third party payers.

MSU has not raised the cost of analyzing the soil so we will keep the cost the same for homeowners and farmers. By keeping the cost low, we hope to encourage soil testing for environmental purposes.

Ingham County Health Department - Bureau of Environmental Health 2009 Fee Explanation 1) Department of Education School Program. In 2005, the U.S. Dept. of Education amended section 111 of the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004. This required schools that participate in the National School Lunch Program or School Breakfast Programs to have two food safety inspections in each school year. With the amendment of the Michigan Food Law 2000, schools are not exempt from State and LHD fees and the LHD fees are established per the Michigan Public Health Code. A) FSE – Department of Education Schools Program Inspection of Production Kitchen. (Production Kitchens are the central kitchens where the food is being prepared for the Satellite schools.) New fee for a Food Service License. This will give the schools with Production Kitchen two inspections which are required by Dept. of Education. B) FSE – Department of Education Schools Program Inspection – Satellite Kitchen. Satellite Kitchens are the majority of the schools where the food is being delivered to and the food is only served NOT prepared. New fee for a Food Service License. This will give the schools with Satellite Kitchens two inspections which are required by Dept. of Education. 2) Campground Inspection – in 2007 the BOC approved an inspection fee of $135.00 for campground inspections. We are requesting a change in the campground fees structure to better reflect the actual cost of delivering the service. New: Campground inspections would be based on the number of camping sites to be inspected. 0-99 Sites $125.00 100-199 Sites $190.00 More than 200 Sites $250.00 3) Type II Non-Community Program A) Type II Non-Community Water Sampling / Collection of water for Type II facilities. Lab fee not included. Change existing fee of $180.00 to an hourly rate of $95.00 / hr. This will adjust the fee to the actual cost of delivering the service. Smaller facilities will only pay closer to $95.00 while the large facilities will pay closer to $200.00 for the service. B) Type II Non-Community Sanitary Survey. This is a NEW fee of $380.00 to cover the cost of delivering the service. Under the State Non-Community Water Supply Program, we are required to survey our Type II Non-Community Water Supply facilities once every three years. This fee reflects 100% of the cost to deliver the service.

Agenda Item 6b Page 1 of 2

MEMO TO: Elizabeth McLaughlin FROM: Jamie McAloon Lampman, Director Animal Control Reference: Fee Justification/clarification DATE: April 12, 2008 On-Call Fee for Redeemed Animal Request to raise fee from $10 to $30 Currently there is a fee of $10 attached to the redemption cost when an owner retrieves their animal from the shelter if that animal was picked up by an officer after normal business hours. The true cost for an officer to respond to a call from law enforcement to pick up an animal after hours is approximately $60 on average. Officers responding to on-call requests receive time-and-a-half for after hour calls and pick ups. The average response, retrieval and delivery time to the shelter is two hours at a rate of approximately $30 per hour. Officers only respond if another law enforcement agency requests it for emergency purposes. ICAC does not respond to stray animal calls after hours unless another agency has requested it for emergency reasons or they perceive the situation to be dangerous. In 2007 officers responded to 156 on-call complaints. Owner Pick- Up Fees Request to raise fee from $12 to $20 The Owner-Pick-Up fee is charged to the owner of a pet (not for stay pets) when an officer is dispatched to their home to pick up their personal pet they no longer want. There are three reasons for this increase request: 1) to recoup some of the true cost to collect that animal which is approximately $50, 2) provide an incentive for owners to bring the pet in themselves rather than use the very limited ICAC Road Officer services. Pet owners have the ability to deliver that pet to the shelter but find it cheaper and more convenient to have an officer pick it up. ICAC officers are overwhelmed with far more serious requests such as vicious dog calls, cruelty complaints, bat exposures, dog bite victim reports, etc…The higher fee would provide incentive and encourage pet owners to bring in their own pets rather then using road officers to pick up their personal pets. 3) The information our shelter clerks obtain from pet owners who bring in their pets VS what an officer obtains from the pet owner differs greatly because of the rushed nature in which they are working. The clerks obtain far more in-depth and helpful details about the animals. Officers are unable to dedicate the time to collect all necessary information. The higher fee will not only assist in meeting the true costs but will free up officers as people have more incentive to bring the pet in themselves and it will result in more detailed information being collected which will improve adoption or assist in avoiding the replacing of this pet if not a suitable adoption candidate. NOTE: Officers have always used their discretion with pet owners who were financially destitute or temporarily unable to pay any fee. However, this is rare and certainly can be addressed on a case by case basis. Rabies De-Cap Fee Request to charge fee for De-Cap procedure of $30-- currently there is no fee for this procedure. De-Cap is done when an animal has been exposed to the possible threat of rabies and requires an ICAC staff person to euthanize (put to death) the animal and surgically remove the head of the animal to be packaged in a containers and delivered to the MDCH (Mich Dept Community Health) for examination. Currently there is no De-Cap charge only the euthanization charge applied to these cases. ICAC requests to charge for this service. De-Capping an animal is a tedious procedure and can be emotionally draining on staff members performing this task. The kennel staff is required to first euthanize the animal and

then take off the head. This can be quite a lengthy process depending on the type of animal—usually large dogs are the subjects. The process averages 1-2 hours of staff time for the decapitation, packaging the Page 2 of 2 specimen, processing the paperwork and delivering the specimen to MDCH for examination. Officers average $20 per hour but the county's costs are more than that with insurance, drugs, gasoline etc. the cost to ICAC to provide this service is approximately $60. ICAC explanation for recommendations that vary from proposed fees Proposed license fee for spayed/neutered dogs -$14, ICAC recommends $12 ICAC request the fee remain the same for this category. The license program has made tremendous strides reaching an all-time high for compliance. This category of dog owners (the non-delinquent, spayed and neutered) are the most responsible of the dog owners as they license their dogs on time each year. They should be rewarded not further taxed. I recommend attaching the increase to the delinquent dog owners of spayed & neutered animals rather than taxing the responsible ones. The licensing program is most effective when there is an incentive to license on time every year. Maintaining the fee at $12 creates such an incentive as the cost if you don’t comply is greater. Proposed License Fee for Delinquent spayed/neutered dogs -- $26, ICAC proposes $28 Reason-to create a disparity that will provide further incentive to license on time.

Agenda Item 6c MEMORANDUM April 25, 2008 TO: Finance and Liaison Committees FROM: Teri Morton, Budget Director RE: First Quarter 2008 Budget Adjustments and Contingency Fund Update Enclosed please find the recommended adjustments to the Ingham County Budget for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. The total increase to the General Fund is $960,725. The quarterly budget amendment process as authorized by the Board of Commissioners is necessary to make adjustments to the adopted budget. Usually, adjustments are made as a result of updated revenue and expenditure projections, grant revenues, reappropriations, accounting and contractual changes, and general housekeeping issues. The majority of adjustments this quarter are reappropriations of funds budgeted but not spent in 2007. This year’s General Fund reappropriations total $857,225, and are primarily related to capital projects. Some of the larger projects carried over from the 2007 Budget include $152,880 to replace the boiler at the Hilliard Building, $75,000 for the snow tubing hill at Hawk Island Park, $215,621 for exterior painting of the Mason Courthouse, and $110,318 for upgrading the fire alarm system at the Jail. Several capital projects are also carried over to 2008 within the Potter Park/Zoo Millage Fund. As was the case in 2007, the Drain Tax at Large budget will need to be increased to accommodate the addition of two county at large drain projects – the Towar Snell and the Towar Garden and Branches projects. The 2008 Contingency Fund will be reduced $69,202 for this purpose. Large increases in revenues and expenses, with no net effect on the General Fund, occur in two budgets. The elections budget is increased $90,000 for costs related to the presidential primary, which will be reimbursed by the State of Michigan. The Family Division Child Care Fund is increased $279,660 for a prior year unpaid invoice for the Family Guidance Services program. The cost will be covered 50% each by Community Mental Health and the State Child Care Fund. The attached resolution also amends the 2008 Position Allocation List. As part of the 2008 budget process, the human resources and county attorney functions were reorganized, which as initially proposed included the creation of three full-time county positions for the county attorney function. These positions were not included in the final adopted budget, but the Position Allocation List was not reduced by the necessary 3.0 FTEs. In the Health Department, the Stockbridge Health Clinic was eliminated, resulting in the elimination of 1.7 FTEs. While implementing the closure of the clinic, it was realized that it was only practical to eliminate 1.5

FTEs due to current staffing allocations. The Health Department has identified the funding to retain the additional 0.2 FTE. Also included is an update of contingency fund spending so far this year. If the attached resolution is approved as proposed, the contingency amount will be $451,552. The attached document details how the Board has allocated the contingency funds throughout the year, beginning with a balance of $579,831. Should you require any additional information or have questions regarding this process, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Agenda Item 6c Introduced by the Finance Committee of the:
