The purpose of this letter is to inform you of compensation increases approved by the Commission for fiscal year 2005-2006.

The Commission adopted a Coordinated Compensation Plan for non-exclusively represented state classified employees for fiscal year 2006 on December 15, 2004. The Plan covers 15,303 non-exclusively represented Business and Administrative Unit and managerial, supervisory, and confidential employees.

Three-year agreements were also approved by the Commission for employees in bargaining units represented by AFSCME, MCO, MSEA, SEIU, and the UAW for fiscal years 2005-2006, 2006-2007, and 2007-2008. All of the agreements include a one percent base wage increase effective October 1, 2005, and a one percent base wage increase effective April 9, 2006. The Office of the State Employer does not have an agreement with the MSPTA for fiscal year 2006 at this time. We will send a summary of the costs associated with fiscal year 2006 pay increases as soon as it is finalized by the Office of the State Employer.

Please contact me at (517) 373-3020, if you have any questions concerning this information.

Sincerely,

James D. Farrell

State Personnel Director

The following communication from the State Officers Compensation Commission was received and read:

December 29, 2004

The State Officers Compensation Commission met on December 22, 2004, to consider state officers' salaries and expense allowances, as required by Article 4, §12, of the Michigan Constitution. Amendments to that provision in 2002 changed the procedure for Commission determinations as follows:

* Newly requiring the Commission to make determinations for the salary and expense allowances of the Secretary of State and Attorney General.

* Requiring legislative approval of the Commission's determination.

* Changing the effective date for the determination, postponing it by two years.

At its 2002 meeting, the Commission deferred taking any specific action because no enabling legislation had been passed that reconciled inconsistencies between the new constitutional language and the existing implementing law, Public Act 357 of 1968. Since 2002, such legislation has still not been enacted. Article 4, §12, requires the Commission to meet every two years, which was done on December 22, 2004, after public notice.

Prior to its meeting, the Commission received a letter from the Governor and Lieutenant Governor, which requested that the Commission (1) reduce their salaries by five percent, effective January 1, 2007 and (2) hold their expense allowances at current levels through 2008. A copy of the letter is attached.

Although the legislature has not yet passed conforming legislation, the Commission believes that the voters of Michigan clearly demonstrated their desire to change the system for determining state officers' compensation in 2002.

Cognizant of its constitutional charge and existing statutory language authorizing the Commission to make determinations for some officers, the Commission recommends reducing the salaries of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor by five percent, effective January 1, 2007, while freezing expense allowances for those offices through 2008. By this letter, the Commission formally submits the following determinations, for whatever action the legislature deems appropriate:

* Effective January 1, 2007, the salary for the office of the Governor shall be $168,150.

* Effective January 1, 2007, the salary for the office of the Lieutenant Governor shall be $117,705.

Absent comments from the public or other officers, the Commission took no action regarding compensation determinations for the legislature, attorney general, secretary of state, and justices of the supreme court. The Commission formally requests that the legislature enact implementing legislation to allow the Commission to fully comply with its constitutional charge. Under existing statutory language, the Commission is required to make any determination for this cycle before December 31. The commissioners would be willing to reconvene next year to consider outstanding issues in the event that the legislature passes transitional language authorizing such meetings for any remaining compensation determinations to take effect in 2007.
