TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS,
MR. CHAIRPERSON, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
WHEREAS, there exists in the City of Marysville the need for programs to
alleviate and prevent conditions of unemployment, to assist and retain local industries
and commercial enterprises in order to strengthen and revitalize the City of Marysville's
economy and to encourage the location and expansion of commercial enterprises to
provide needed services and facilities to the City of Marysville and its residents; and
WHEREAS, a project to alleviate the aforesaid conditions and accomplish said
purposes has been initiated by The Economic Development Corporation of the City of
Marysville (hereinafter referred to as the "Corporation"); and
WHEREAS, the Robotix Systems, Inc, Project (the "Project") initiated by the
Corporation shall have the effect of transferring employment from the City of Birmingham
and the Township of Orion in the County of Oakland to the City of Marysville in the
County of St. Clair; and

Acts of 1974, as amended (the "EDC Act"), the City Council of the City of Birmingham

obtain the consent of all affected "municipalities" (as defined
by statute, this includes counties) to the possible transfer of
employment.
The transfer will not result in any vacating of space at
Palastor's or Hadron's facilities or in any long-term loss of
jobs, but simply reflects the shift of experienced personnel to
assist in the early stages of the new operation in Marysville.
In fact, the two local communities from which employment is
being transferred - Birmingham and Orion Township - have already
consented (October 20, 1980) to the proposed transfer from their
communities. Copies of those resolutions are enclosed for your
review.
For your convenience and the convenience of the Board of
Commissioners, I am enclosing ten copies of this letter and a
proposed resolution consenting to this necessary transfer of
employment, which will permit the use of EDC financing and Act 198
tax abatement by Robotix Systems, Inc. Since the rehabilitation
of the Marysville facility will mean hundreds of new jobs for
Michigan's work force, with no detrimental effects upon Oakland
County, we are hopeful that we can count upon your support, the
support of the Board of Commissioners and passage of the resolu-
tion on November 20th.
Thank you for your kind consideration of our request. If you
have any questions, please feel free to contact me at your
convenience.
Very truly yours,
Thomas P. Martin

Re: Robotix Systems, Inc.
Dear Mr. Kaczmarek:
On behalf of our clients, Robotix Systems, Inc. and F. Jos.
Lamb Company, we respectfully request to be placed on the agenda
for the Oakland County Board of Commissioners' next regular
meeting (tentatively scheduled for Thursday, November 20, 1980)
for the purpose of considering passage of a simple resolution
approving the transfer of a small number of employees from
Birmingham and Orion Township in Oakland County to Marysville in
St. Clair County.
Robotix Systems, Inc. designs and manufactures special
machines and automated systems for the automotive and heavy
machinery industries and currently has manufacturing facilities
in Marion, Ohio. Palastor, Inc. and Hadron, Inc., two affiliated
companies of Robotix located in Birmingham and Orion Township
respectively, are involved in essentially the same line of
business as Robotix.
Robotix Systems, Inc. has purchased and is extensively
renovating a formerly obsolete manufacturing facility in Marys-
ville, Michigan to handle a new product line. EDC financing at
favorable interest rates, as well as tax abatement under Michigan
Public Act 198, are currently being arranged with the assistance
of the City of Marysville and final approvals are expected
shortly. However, as renovation progresses on the Marysville
plant, approximately eighteen (18) employees of Palastor, Inc.
and thirty-five (35) employees of Hadron may be moved from their
present locations to Marysville, and a total of twenty-seven (27)
employees (Palastor-12; Hadron-15) will be hired by Palastor and
Hadron to replace those employees who may be transferred to the
Marysville plant.
State law provides that in order for Robotix Systems, Inc.
to take advantage of the financing and tax abatement programs
available for its first Michigan plant in Marysville, it must
