PLAN AND AGREEMENT

Alter County, a municipal corporation of the State of Michigan, Address: Munising, Michigan, hereinafter called

"Political Subdivision," does hereby apply to the Retirement Board of the State Employes' Retirement System, created

and established by Act No. 240 of the Public Acts of 1943, as amended, hereinafter called "Department," pursuant to

the provisions of Act No. 205 of Public Acts of 1951, to extend the insurance system established by Title II of the

Social Security Act to services performed by individuals as employees of the Political Subdivision.

The Political Sub-division submits for the Department's approval this plan and agreement to become effective on

the date hereinafter stated.

I. Definitions.

For purposes of this plan and agreement:

(a) The term "employee" includes an officer, including elected officials of the Political subdivision

thereof.

(b) The term "services" includes all services performed by individuals as employees of the Political

Subdivision, except:

(1) Any service performed by an employee in a position covered by a retirement system on the date

this agreement is made applicable to his coverage group.

(2) Service performed by an employee who is employed to relieve him from unemployment.

(3) Service performed in a hospital, home or other institution by a patient or an inmate thereof.

(4) Covered transportation service (as defined in Section 210(1) of the Social Security Act).

(5) Service (other than agricultural labor or service performed by a student) excluded from employ-

ment by any provisions of Section 210(a) of the Social Security Act, other than paragraph (8)

of such section.

(6) Services of an emergency nature.

II. Services covered.

This plan and agreement includes all services performed by individuals for the Political Subdivision.

III. Administration of the plan.

The political Subdivision agrees and has heretofore authorized and directed the appropriate officers

and employees to do and perform all things found necessary by the Department to the proper and efficient

administration of the plan, including but not limited to the maintenance of employment records relating

to both services and salaries, required contributions by both the Political Subdivision and its employees

and other data required by the Department or the Federal Security Administrator, to make such reports

in such form and containing such information as the Department may from time to time require, and to

comply with such provisions as the Department or the Federal Security Administrator may from time to

time find necessary to assure the correctness and verification of such reports.

IV. Contributions.

(a) The Political Subdivision will pay into the Contribution Fund established by Act No. 205, Public Acts

of 1951, with respect to wages as defined in Act No. 205, P.A. of 1951, Sec. 2(a), at such time or times as the

Department may by regulation prescribe, contributions equivalent to the sum of the taxes which would be imposed by

Section 1400 and 1410 of the Internal Revenue Code if the services covered by this plan and agreement constituted

employment as defined in Section 1426 of such code.

(b) The Political Subdivision agrees to appropriate from funds under its control in each and every year

this contract shall be and remain in force, sufficient sums of money to insure the payment of the obligations of the

Political Subdivision to the Department imposed by this contract for the ensuing fiscal year. All such appropriated

sums shall be covered into a revolving fund, to be created by the Political Subdivision, which shall be devoted ex-

clusively to the payment of the obligations imposed under this contract, as and when the same shall become due and

payable, until all of such obligations shall have been satisfied in full.

(c) The Political Subdivision agrees to and shall advance to the Contribution Fund, provided for in

Act No. 205, P.A. of 1951, Sec. 12, an amount equal to the average quarterly contributions provided for in subsection

(a) of this section plus ten per centum thereof, which shall be credited to the Political Subdivision in the Contri-

bution Fund account. The average quarterly contribution shall be arrived at in the first instance by a fair estimate

based on the payroll for the previous calendar year; provided, however, that said advancement may be adjusted from

time to time as the Department may require, and when adjusted the estimate shall be based on the payroll for the

calendar quarter immediately preceding the date of the adjustment. The advancement provided for herein may be used

by the Department to offset any unpaid financial obligation incurred by the Political Subdivision hereunder, and for

no other purpose, and may be applied thereto summarily, but such use shall not relieve the Political Subdivision of

such obligation to the Department; provided, however, no advancement by the Political Subdivision shall be applied

to the default of any other Political Subdivision.

(d) The Political Subdivision will pay to the State Treasurer, at such time or times as the Department

may by regulation prescribe, an amount equal to the Political Subdivision's share of the cost of administration of the

Department, such amount to be not greater than five per cent of the contributions made by the Political Subdivision

under paragraph (a) of this section.

(e) The Political Subdivision agrees that it shall impose uron each of its employees, as to services

which are covered by this plan and agreement, a contribution with respect to his wages, not exceeding the amount of

the tax which would be imnosed by Section 1400 of the Federal Insurance Contribution Act if such services constituted

employment within the meaning of that act, and to deduct the amount of such contribution from his wages as and when

paid. It is further understood that the contributions so collected shall be paid into the Contribution Fund in partial

discharge of the liability of the Political Subdivision, but that failure to make such deduction shall not relieve the

employee or the Political Subdivision from liability therefor.

V. Adjustment, refunds and interest on delinquent payments.

(a) If more than the correct amount due under part IV of this plan and agreement is paid with respect

to any remuneration, proper adjustment (or refund, if adjustment is impracticable) shall be made without interest in

such manner and at such times as the Department shall prescribe.

(b) If the Political Subdivision does not make, at the time or times due, the payments required under

this plan and agreement, there shall be added, as part of the amounts due, interest at the rate of one-half of one

per cent per, month or fraction thereof.

(c) Without prejudice to other available methods of collection, the Department in its discretion may

direct the proper state agency to deduct such delinquent amounts plus interest from any other money payable to the

Political Sub division by any department, agency, or fund of the state, unless prevented from so doing by constitutional

limitations.

VI. Termination.

(a) The Political Subdivision may request the Department to take all necessary steps with the Federal

Security Administrator, pursuant to Section 218 (g) of the Social Security Act, to terminate this plan and agreement

either in its entire application to the Political Subdivision or with respect to any coverage group. Upon good cause

shown at a time and in a manner to be specified by the Department, the Department shall give the notice to the Federal

Security Administrator required by Section 218(g) of the Social Security Act for the purpose of granting the requested

termination to the Political Subdivision.

(b) If the Department, after notice and opportunity for hearing to the Political Subdivision, finds that

there has been a failure to comply substantially with any provision contained in this plan and agreement and/or in

said State Act, it may terminate this plan in its entirety, such termination to take effect at the time prescribed in

such notice and on such conditions as may be provided by regulations of the Department, and as may be consistent with

the provisions of the Social Security Act.

VII. Modification.

This plan and agreement may be modified at the request of the Political Subdivision, to include coverage

groups or services in addition to those now included by this plan. Such modification must be consistent with Act No.

205, P.A. of 1951, and the provisions of Section 218 of the Social Security Act.

VIII. Effective date.

This plan and agreement shall be effective as of January 1, 1951.

Dowell, Ostanek, Carberry, Hankin, Malone, Kimar and Knox. Nays--None.

Whereas, the 1952 Michigan Legislature has by the terms of Senate Concurrent Resolution 32 directed the State

Department of Social Welfare to undertake a pilot study of the foster care needs of Michigan by means of a demonstra-

tion program in six Michigan counties selected to illustrate various types of problems, such counties to be designated

with the approval of the respective probate judges and boards of supervisors; and

Whereas, such pilot study is to simulate the situation which would be in effect had Senate Bills 234, 235, 236,

237 and 238 of the 1952 Legislature been enacted into law with the amendment suggested by Auditor General John B.

Martin, Jr., at the public hearing on said bills which amendment would provide state funds equal to 90% of the first

$2,000 of expenditures by each county, and

Whereas, a committee of the Probate Judges Association in cooperation with the State Department of Social Welfare

has nominated Alger County as one of the six counties to be invited to undertake the pilot study; and

Whereas, the Honorable Arthur D. Wood, Judge of Probate for Alger County, has carefully considered the advantages

of the program to Alger County children and given his approval; be it therefore

Resolved that this county accept the invitation effective August 1st, 1952 for one year period, and

Be it further resolved, that the Alger County Social Welfare Board be directed to establish a Child Care Fund

for a one year period for the receipt of State funds appropriated by the Legislature for the pilot study and for the

transfer from the Alger County Social Welfare and General Funds of the Alger County share of the expenses; and

Be it further resolved, that there be appropriated originally to said child care fund the sum of $200, and

Be it further resolved, that in consideration of the receipt of these State funds for foster care, Alger County

will pay the State Department of Social Welfare during the one year period a portion of the institutional per diem

cost of care of those Alger County children committed during the one year period by the Alger County Juvenile Court

to the Michigan Children's Institute, the Boys' Vocational School, and the Girls' Training School:

Provided, First, that the Alger County share of such institutional care may be paid from the basic amount in the

Child Care Fund up to $2,000 and shall be paid from the General Fund thereafter, and

Second, that the share to be paid by Alger County will be fixed by the State Social Welfare Commission with due

consideration to the financial need of Alger County in the same manner that need for state direct relief funds are

considered; and be it

Further resolved, that the county department of social welfare is hereby directed to make no foster care expen-

ditures except on the standards provided by Sentate Bill 236 of the 1952 regular session of the Legislature and that

all expenditures so made shall be charged to the Child Care Fund and not to direct relief, and be it

Further resolved, that the county clerk, the county treasurer, and the judge of probate are authorized to do any

act necessary to carry out this agreement for the receipt of State funds for foster care, and

Be it further resolved, that at the end of the experiment any funds remaining in the Child Care Fund shall be

returned to the source whence they came using the same percentage principles for such division as were used in accu-

mulating the fund.

The foregoing resolution was supported by Supervisor Carberry and adopted by the following vote: Ayes--Supervisors
