Introduced by Judiciary, County Services and Finance Committees of the:

INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

REORGANIZATION OF FRIEND OF THE COURT MANAGERIAL STAFF

RESOLUTION #03-239

WHEREAS, the Circuit Court Family Division has recommended a reorganization, which realigns the duties of the Assistant Friend of the Court/Operations, taking into account new responsibilities that have been assigned to this position because of the mandate by the State of Michigan for the change in child support computer systems, and in recognition of the Assistant Friend of the Court/Operations assuming new duties in developing appropriate accounting and budgetary practices for the Juvenile Division of the Family Court; and

WHEREAS, the primary reason for this reorganization is to recognize the impact of computer operations and appropriate financial accounting upon the operation of the office of Friend of the Court, and the accounting and budgetary responsibilities that have been added to the Juvenile Division, the expansion of the Child Care Fund, and the efforts necessary to insure appropriate State payment to the Child Care Fund for both abused and neglected children (foster care), and for delinquent youth in Ingham County; and

WHEREAS, the Human Resources Department has evaluated and concurs with this request; and

WHEREAS, the implementation of this request will result in a more efficient operation of the Family Court.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners approves the Family Division of the Circuit's recommendation for reorganization as follows:

Position: FOC RMB 14

Change from: Assistant Friend of the Court/Operations M10

Change to: Assistant Friend of the Court/Operations M12

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the incumbent in position FOC RMB 14 be moved from level M10, Step 5 ($59,213) to level M12, Step 3 ($62,668), as provided for under the current Managerial/Confidential Personnel Manual.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this reorganization shall become effective the pay period following the adoption of this resolution by the Board of Commissioners.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Controller make the necessary adjustments to the proper 2003 and 2004 budgets and that the 2003 general fund cost of $327 will come from salary attrition in the Friend of the Court budget.
