2001 - Saginaw County

Board of Commissioners June 26, 2001
Your committee has considered communication 6-26-5 from Dennis
Brieske, Director, Michigan Works! Administration asking approval
of the 2001/2002 Michigan Works! Administration (MWA) budget; the
Midland Michigan Works! Center budget, Bay Road Satellite Center
budget, Tri-County Service Center Operation Grant, and Information
Technology budget. (See attached)
We met with Dennis Brieske, Assistant Director, Michigan Works!
Administration who informed us the County's automated accounting
system requires that MWA's budget be acted on prior to the
standard budget review process due to its July 1 - June 30 fiscal
year.
The 2001-2002 MWA budget reflects a 6.3% increase over the
2000/2001 level. The major increase occurs in wages due to the Hay
Study and fringe benefits. Also wages are projected to increase by
3% on October 1, 2000 for non-union positions. The major decrease
is in postage. All funds come from the Federal Job Training
Partnership Act and the State Work First Program. The Strategic
Planning budget is continued through June 30, 2002 based on a
State extension.
It is the recommendation of your committee that the proposed
2001/2002 budgets for Michigan Works! Administration be approved
as submitted, and forwarded for inclusion into the County's budget
process, subject to the final appropriation as set forth by the
Board.
Respectfully submitted,
