Due to the merger which took place last year / early this year, the way Aunalytics bills for service has changed. As a result, the total monthly amount in the proposal is greater than it has been in the past. The previous monthly amount was $1,440. The monthly amount listed in the proposal is $2,174.50. This constitutes a $733.50 or 51% increase. The proposal expires on 9/30/2020. It is my recommendation that the board authorize acceptance of the proposal with the updated fees. The updated fees have been included in the draft 2021 budget.

The board further authorized SMBA to take on the cost of Building Department .NET BS&A licensing fees. For the licensing change to occur, a letter needed to be sent from each township indicating that such a change was desired and to request the cancellation of their individual support contracts. It has come to my attention that no such changes ever occurred. I recommend that the board follow up on the amendment to the interlocal government agreement and seek to get the letters sent to BS&A promptly so that SMBA can take on the cost of licensing for the 2021 billing cycle.

At that meeting, Deb Everett shared via memo that staff last received increases in October of 2019. Ms. Everett also recommended that increases be aligned with the budget year. Jeff Sorensen suggested that due to the change in duties and new appointment for the office manager position, back-pay may be considered by the board to the effective date of the new position. Process Given the intent to re-address salaries at the end of the year (at the December board meeting), this recommendation will only address a cost of living adjustment and minor increase for the office manager position. The Social Security Administration’s cost of living adjustment (COLA) publication and the State of Michigan Tax Commission inflation rate multiplier publication were considered in determining a COLA adjustment for staff. The greater of the two values was selected. Based on the most recent available data, the COLA was determined to be a 1.9% increase. Recommendations Employee Type Current Wage COLA (1.9%) New Wage Garrett Reitenour Exempt $70,000 $1,330 $71,330 Kyle Gibson Non-Exempt $18 / hour $0.34 $18.50 Elvira Oropeza Non-Exempt $18 / hour $0.34 $18.34 Back pay in the amount of $404.25 is requested for the office manager position. Calculated by multiplying hours worked during April – September (808.50) by the requested $0.50 increase. The board will be presented with a policy and additional recommendations at the December board meeting.

MCL 211.34d states: (l) “Inflation rate” means the ratio of the general price level for the state fiscal year ending in the calendar year immediately preceding the current year divided by the general price level for the state fiscal year ending in the calendar year before the year immediately preceding the current year. (f) “General price level” means the annual average of the 12 monthly values for the United States consumer price index for all urban consumers as defined and officially reported by the United States department of labor, bureau of labor statistics. Based on this statutory requirement, the calculation for 2020 is as follows: 1. The 12 monthly values for October 2017 through September 2018 are averaged. 2. The 12 monthly values for October 2018 through September 2019 are averaged. 3. The ratio is calculated by dividing the average of column 2 by the average of column 1. The specific numbers from the US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics are as follows: Oct-17 246.663 Oct-18 252.885 Nov-17 246.669 Nov-18 252.038 Dec-17 246.524 Dec-18 251.233 Jan-18 247.867 Jan-19 251.712 Feb-18 248.991 Feb-19 252.776 Mar-18 249.554 Mar-19 254.202 Apr-18 250.546 Apr-19 255.548 May-18 251.588 May-19 256.092 Jun-18 251.989 Jun-19 256.143 Jul-18 252.006 Jul-19 256.571 Aug-18 252.146 Aug-19 256.558 Sep-18 252.439 Sep-19 256.759 Average 249.749 254.376 Ratio 1.019 % Change 1.9% 5102 (Rev. 01-19) Page 2 Local units cannot develop or adopt or use an inflation rate multiplier other than 1.019 in 2020. It is not acceptable for local units to indicate to taxpayers that you do not know how the multiplier is developed.  Inflation Rate Multiplier Used in the 2020 Capped Value Formula The inflation rate, expressed as a multiplier, to be used in the 2020 Capped Value Formula is 1.019. The 2020 Capped Value Formula is as follows: 2020 CAPPED VALUE = (2019 Taxable Value – LOSSES) X 1.019 + ADDITIONS The formula above does not include 1.05 because the inflation rate multiplier of 1.019 is lower than 1.05.  Inflation Rate Multiplier Used in 2020 “Headlee” Calculations The inflation rate multiplier of 1.019 shall ALSO be used in the calculation of the 2020 “Headlee” Millage Reduction Fraction required by Michigan Compiled Law (MCL) 211.34d. The formula for calculating the 2020 “Headlee” Millage Reduction Fraction (MRF) is as follows: 2020 MRF = (2019 Taxable Value – LOSSES) X 1.019 2020 Taxable Value – ADDITIONS  The following is a listing of the inflation rate multipliers used in the Capped Value and “Headlee” calculations since the start of Proposal A: 1995 1.026 1996 1.028 1997 1.028 1998 1.027 1999 1.016 2000 1.019 2001 1.032 2002 1.032 2003 1.015 2004 1.023 2005 1.023 2006 1.033 2007 1.037 2008 1.023 2009 1.044 2010 0.997 2011 1.017 2012 1.027 2013 1.024 2014 1.016 2015 1.016 2016 1.003 2017 1.009 2018 1.021 2019 1.024 2020 1.019 Southwest Michigan Building Authority 7275 West Main Street Kalamazoo MI 49009 269-585-4150 www.swmiba.org MEMORANDUM To: SMBA Board From: Kyle Gibson, Office Manager Date: 09/21/2020 Re: Office Manager Transition Plan At the August 27th regular board meeting Chair Farmer requested a transition plan for the office manager position considering Deb Everett’s desire to retire. Deb intends to have her last day with SMBA be Wednesday, September 25th. To meet that goal, Deb and I have met several times over the course of the month of September to discuss the major responsibilities of the position, and to train me. The following tasks have been completed: – Add Kyle as a signer on SMBA’s checking account. – Issue a credit card to Kyle. – Prepare the draft of the 2021 budget for the board’s review and approval. – Prepare salary recommendations for staff. – Enter the budget amendments approved by the board at the 8/27 meeting. – Discussed employee benefits and the management thereof. – Transfer SMBA accounts in Deb’s name to Kyle or create new accounts, as necessary. After Deb retires, the following steps will be taken: – The “officemanager” email and RDS accounts will be have their passwords changed, and the email account will be forwarded to Kyle for a period of time. – Final payment will be issued for Deb’s time worked. – Deb will be removed as a signer on the SMBA checking account and her credit card will be canceled. – Deb’s BS&A accounts will be deactivated. Deb and I feel that I am now adequately equipped for the position, and I am comfortable with Deb departing as she intends on the 25th.
