Misc. 8015 June 2 , 1977
By Mr. Wilcox
IN RE: TRANSFER OF WEED HARVESTER & TRAILER TO PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the smaller SAWFISH aquatic weed cutter has been operational
as part of the Oakland County weed harvesting experiment for the past two summers,
and
WHEREAS, during this period full and sufficient data has been obtained
to identify the potential of such machines for the smaller lakes, canals and bays
to which they are applicable, and
WHEREAS, area lakes are already applying the conclusions developed
and purchasing their own less expensive, smaller harvesters for repetitive cuttings
utilizing volunteer labor, and
WHEREAS, we visualize no further benefit to be realized by continuance
of the expense associated with this phase of the experiment, and
WHEREAS, the features of the County-owned trailer-equipped SAWFISH are
particularly suited to resolve the seaweed problems increasingly hindering recrea-
tional water utilization within the County park system,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Commissioners approve
transfer of the SAWFISH and its trailer from the Drain Commissioner's Office to
the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission for continued use, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that an appropriate credit of $10,000.00 be
made to Weed Harvester Account No. 30420 to reflect this transfer. (The balance
up to the original $16,000 debit in 1975 to be covered as the on-going large
harvester program gains from earlier experiences and becomes increasingly more
self-sustaining.)
