A robust economic recovery and strong fiscal practices are enabling Oakland County to focus on attracting and retaining employees and improving government facilities, County Executive L. Brooks Patterson said during his annual budget address to the Board of Commissioners on Thursday, July 16, in the Board of Commissioners auditorium in Pontiac. Patterson’s recommended budget is balanced through the year 2020. “Oakland County’s future is bright: Employment is up, housing starts and prices are up, and the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well,” Patterson said. “Much of Oakland County’s financial success results from its focus on long-term financial planning – emphasizing thoughtful strategic management versus crisis management.” The general fund budgets for fiscals 2016-2018 are approximately $429 million, $437 million, and $442 million respectively. The total budgets are $825 million, $832 million and $835 million.
