Oakland County adopts UAW contracts and interlocal administrative agreements; amendment ties fees to state inflation multiplier
Summary
The board approved collective bargaining agreements covering circuit and probate court employees, supplemental UAW agreements, and interlocal administrative support agreements with an amendment tying rates to the state tax commission’s inflation multiplier.
The Oakland County Board of Commissioners approved multiple personnel and administrative agreements brought forward by the legislative affairs and government operations committee.
Commissioner Brendan Johnson, chair of the legislative affairs and government operations committee, moved adoption of three items: (1) the FY 2025–2028 collective bargaining agreement with UAW covering various supervisory and non-supervisory employees in the sixth judicial circuit and probate court; (2) supplemental FY 2025–2028 agreements with UAW Local 889 covering county employees; and (3) interlocal agreements between the county and county public authorities for administrative support services.
The collective bargaining agreement passed on the recorded vote announced by the clerk as 15 yeas, 0 nays. The supplemental agreements and the interlocal agreements each passed on recorded counts announced as unanimous (16 yeas, 0 nays). For the interlocal agreements, commissioners adopted an amendment from Commissioner Spitz that specified staff administration support service rates for 2026–2028 shall be based on the previous year's rates plus the inflation rate multiplier as published by the Michigan State Tax Commission. The amendment passed 16–0 and was then incorporated into the main motion, which also carried 16–0.
Commissioner Johnson described the interlocal agreements as arrangements for administrative support services with public authorities; the amendment was presented to ensure consistent language tying rate adjustments to the state inflation multiplier.
No detailed fiscal impact statements were read into the record during the committee reports beyond the clerk's roll-call tallies. Commissioners did not identify outstanding legal barriers to implementation during the meeting.
The county clerk recorded the votes and the board adopted the measures, enabling county management to proceed under the terms in the agreements and the adopted amendment.
