as hereinafter provided, for the acquisition and construction
of the system by the county and for financing all or part of
-3-
the cost thereof by the issuance of bonds by the county secured
by the pledge of the full faith and credit of the township
to pay such cost with interest to the County in installments
extending over a period not exceeding forty (40) years; and
the county is authorized to issue such bonds and, if authorized
by majority vote of the members-elect of its Boad of Commis-
sioners, to pledge its full faith and credit for the payment
of such bonds and the interest thereon; and
WHEREAS, the township is in urgent need of such sewage

which improvements and facilities would likewise benefit the
county and its residents, and the parties hereto have concluded
that such improvements and facilities can be most economically
and efficiently provided and financed by the county through
the exercise of the powers conferred by Act 342, and especially
Sections 5a, 5b and Sc thereof; and
WHEREAS, the County Agency has obtained from preliminary
plans for the Sewer System an estimate of $23,800,000.00 as
the total cost of the Sewer System and an estimate of forty
(40) years and upwards as the period of usefulness thereof,
all of which have been prepared by Johnson & Anderson, Inc.,
(hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "consulting engineers")
and have been submitted to and approved by the Board of Com-
missioners of the county and the Township Board of the township
and placed on file in the office of the County Agency, said
estimates being set forth in Exhibit B Sewer hereunto attached;
and
WHEREAS, in order to provide for the acquisition
and construction of the Sewer System by the county and the
financing of the cost thereof by the issuance of county bonds,
and for other related matters, it is necessary for the parties
hereto to enter into this contract.
THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE PREMISES AND THE
COVENANTS OF EACH OTHER, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. The parties hereto do hereby approve and agree
to the establishment, acquisition, construction and financing
of the County System as herein provided, under and pursuant
to Act 342. The township by way of compliance with Section
29, Article VII, Michigan Constitution of 1963, consents and
agrees to the establishment and location of the Systems within
its corporate boundaries and to the use by the county of its
streets, highways, alleys, lands, rights-of-way or other public
places for the purpose and facilities of the Systems and any
improvements, enlargements or extensions thereof, and the
township further agrees that in order to evidence and effectuate
the foregoing agreement and consent, it will execute and deliver
to the county such grants of easement, right-of-way, license,
permit or consent as may be requested by the county.
2. The Sewer System shall consist of the sewage
disposal facilities shown on Exhibit A Sewer which is hereunto
attached and which is hereby made a part hereof. The Sewer
System shall be acquired and constructed substantially in
accordance with final plans and specifications to be prepared
and submitted by the consulting engineers, but variations there-
from which do not materially change the location, capacity
or overall design of the Sewer System, and which do not require
-5-
an increase in the total estimated cost of the Sewer System,
may be permitted on the authority of the County Agency. Other
variations or changes may be made if approved by the County
Agency and by resolution of the Township Board and if provi-
sions required by Paragraph 8 hereof are made for payment or
financing of any resulting increase in the total estimated
cost. The estimate of cost of the Sewer System and the estimate
of period of usefulness thereof as set forth in Exhibit B Sewer
are likewise hereby approved and adopted.
3. The County Agency shall take or cause to be taken
all actions required or necessary, in accordance with Act 342,
to procure the issuance and sale of bonds by the County, in
one or more series, in whatever aggregate principal amount
is necessary to be so financed to defray the total cost of
the Sewer System which is in excess of funds available from
other sources. Such bonds shall be issued in anticipation
of and be payable primarily from, the payments to be made
by the township to the county as provided in this contract,
and shall be secured secondarily, if so voted by the Board
of Commissioners of the county, by the pledge of the full faith
and credit of the county, and the said bonds shall be payable
in annual maturities the last of which shall be not more than
forty years from the date thereof.
4. The County Agency shall proceed to take construc-
tion bids for the Sewer System and, subject to the sale and -
delivery of said bonds, enter into construction contracts with
the lowest responsible bidder or bidders, procure from the
contractors all necessary and proper bonds, cause the Sewer
System to be constructed within a reasonable time, and do all
other things required by this contract and the laws of the
-6-
State of Michigan. All certificates for required payments
to contractors shall be approved by the consulting engineers
before presentation to the County Agency and the latter shall
be entitled to rely on such approval in making payment.
The county hereby agrees that it will secure, or
cause to be secured, and maintained during the period of con-
struction adequate property damage and public liability insurance
covering all facilities to be constructed pursuant to this
contract. All policies and memorandums of insurance shall
provide that the county and the township shall be insured parties
thereunder and shall contain a provision requiring that the
township be notified at least ten days prior to cancellation
thereof. One copy of each policy and memorandum of insurance
shall be filed with the township.
5. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto
that the Sewer System is to serve the township and not the
individual property owners and users thereof, unless by special
arrangement between the County Agency and the township. The
responsibility of requiring connection to and use of the Sewer
System and or providing such additional facilities, as may
be needed, shall be that of the township which shall cause
to be constructed and maintained, directly or through the county,
any such necessary additional facilities. The county shall
not be obligated to acquire or construct any facilities other
than those designated in paragraph 2 hereof.
6. The township shall pay to the county the total
cost of the Sewer System (less such funds as may become avail-
able from other sources), which total cost for this purpose
shall include, in addition to the items of the nature set forth
-7-
in Exhibit B Sewer (represented by the principal amount of
the bonds to be issued by the county plus such funds as may
become available from other soruces), all interest payable
by the county on said bonds and all paying agent fees and other
expenses and charges (including the County Agency's administrative
expenses) which are payable on account of said bonds (such
fees, expenses and charges being herein called "bond service
charges"). Such payment shall be made to the county in annual
installments which shall be due and payable at least thirty
days prior to the day of the month specified in the county
bonds as the annual principal maturity date thereof. Such
an annual installment shall be so paid in each year, if any
principal and/or non-capitalized interest on said bonds falls
due during the twelve-month period beginning on such principal
maturity date in said year, and the amount of each installment
so due and payable shall be at least sufficient to pay all
such principal and/or interest thus falling due and all bond
service charges then due and payable. The County Agency shall,
within thirty days after delivery of the county bonds to the
purchaser, furnish the Township Treasurer with a complete
schedule of the principal and interest maturities thereon,
and the County Agency shall also, at least thirty days before
each payment is due to be made by the township, advise the
Township Treasurer of the amount payable to the county on such
date. If the township fails to make any payment to the county
when due, the same shall be subject to a penalty of 1% thereof
for each month or fraction thereof that such amount remains
unpaid after due. Failure of the County Agency to furnish
the schedule or give the notice as above required shall not
excuse the township from the obligation to make payment when
due. Such payments shall be made by the township when due
whether or not the system has then been completed or placed
-8-
in operation. In the event that additional county bonds shall
be issued under the authroity of this contract, to defray a
part of the cost of the Sewer System, the foregoing obligations
shall apply to such part of the cost and to said additional
bonds insofar as appropriate thereto.
7. The Township may pay in advance any amount pay-
able to the county pursuant to this contract and in that event
shall be credited therefor on future-due amounts as may be
agreed by the parties hereto. The township may also pay in
advance any one or more installments or any part thereof (a)
by surrendering to the county any of said county bonds of like
principal amount with all future-due coupons attached thereto,
or (b) by paying to the county in cash the principal amount
of any county bonds which are subject to redemption prior to
maturity, plus all interest thereon to the first day upon which
such bonds may be called for redemption, and plus all applicable
call premiums and bond service charges, and in such event the
County Agency shall call said bonds for redemption at the
earliest possible date. The installments or parts thereof
so prepaid shall be deemed to be the installmentsor parts thereof
falling due in the same calendar year as the maturity dates
of the bonds surrendered or called for redemption and bonds
and coupons so surrendered or redeemed shall be cancelled.
8. In the event that it shall become necessary to
increase the estimated cost of the Sewer System as hereinbefore
stated, or if the actual cost of the Sewer System shall exceed
the estimated cost, whether as the result of variations or
changes permitted to be made in the approved plans or otherwise,
then (without execution of any further contract or amendment
of this contract) the Township Board may, by resolution adopted
within fifteen days after the receipt of construction bids,
row we sp.
• direct that a portion of the system be deleted sufficient to
reduce the total cost to an amount which shall not exceed the
total estimated cost as hereinbefore stated by more than 5%,
provided that such deletion shall not materially change the
general scope, overall design, and purpose of the Sewer System,
or in the absence of the adoption of such a resolution the
township shall pay or procure the payment of the increase or
excess in cash, or county bonds in an increased or additional
amount shall (upon adoption of an authorizing resolution there-
for by the Board of Commissioners) be issued to defray such
increased or excess cost, to the extent that funds therefor
are not available from other sources: Provided, however, that
no such increase or excess shall be approved and no such increased
or additional county bonds shall be authorized to be issued,
nor shall the county enter into any contract for acquisition
or construction of the Sewer System or any part thereof or
incur any obligation for or pay any item of cost therefor,
where the effect thereof would be to cause the total cost of
the Sewer System to exceed by more than 5% its total estimated
cost as hereinbefore stated, unless the Township Board shall
have previously adopted a resolution approving such increase
or excess and agreeing that the same (or such part thereof
as is not available from other sources) shall be paid or its
payment procured by the township in cash or be defrayed by
the issuance of increased or additional county bonds in antici-
pation of increased or additional payments agreed to be made
by the township to the county, in the manner hereinbefore pro-
vided: Provided, further, that the adoption of such resolution
by the Township Board shall not be required prior to or as
-10-
a condition precedent to the issuance of additional bonds by
the county, if the county has previously issued or contracted
to sell bonds to pay all or part of the cost of the project
and the issuance of the additional bonds is necessary (as
determined by the county) to pay such increased, additional
or excess costs as are essential to completion of the project
according to the plans as last approved prior to the time when
the previous bonds were issued or contracted to be sold.
9. In the event that the actual cost of the Sewer
System is less than the total estimated cost, then any surplus
available to the county from the sale of county bonds shall,
at the option of the Township Board, be used either to improve,
enlarge or extend the Sewer System or the County Systems, or
to apply upon future payments due to the county, or to redeem
bonds or to purchase the same on the open market, provided
that such surplus shall be used to improve, enlarge or extend
the Systems only if authorized by the Board of Commissioners.
Any such surplus may, for the purpose of improving, enlarging
or extending the Systems, be supplemented by cash payments
to be made by the township, or such improvements, enlargements
or extensions may be financed entirely from such cash payments,
where authorized by the Township Board. Where any such surplus
is used to redeem or purchase bonds, the same shall be cancelled,
and the payments thereafter required to be made by the township
to the county shall be reduced so as to reflect the resulting
saving of interest and the payment required to be made in the
calendar year of the stated maturity of said bonds shall be
reduced by the principal amount thereof.
10. Should the township fail for any reason to pay
the county at the times specified, the amounts herein required
-1 1-
to be paid, the township does hereby authorize the State Treasurer
or other official charged with the disbursement of unrestricted
state funds returnable to the township pursuant to the Michigan
constitution to withhold sufficient funds to make up any default
or deficiency in funds. If the full faith and credit of the
county is pledged for the prompt payment of the principal of
and interest on the bonds to be issued by the county and if
the county is required to advance any money by reason of such
pledge on account of the delinquency of the township, the
County Treasurer is hereby authorized to notify the State
Treasurer to deduct the amount of money so advanced by the
county from any unrestricted moneys in the State Treasurer's
possession belonging to the township and to pay such amount
to the county.
The foregoing shall not operate to limit the county's
right to pursue any other legal remedies for the reimbursement
of moneys advanced on account of the default of the township.
11. The township, pursuant ot the authorization
of Section 5a of Act No. 342, does hereby pledge its full faith
and credit for the prompt and timely payment of its obligations
expressed in this contract and shall each year levy a tax in
an amount which, taking into consideration estimated delinquencies
in tax collections, will be sufficient to pay its obligations
under this contract becoming due before the time of the follow-
ing year's tax collections: Provided, however, that if at
the time of making its annual tax levy, the township shall
have on hand in cash other funds which have been set aside
and pledged or are otherwise available for the payment of such
contractual obligations falling due prior , to the time of the
next tax collection, then the annual tax levy may be reduced
-12-
by such amount. The Township Board shall each year, at least
90 days prior to the final date provided by law for the making
of the annual township tax levy, submit to the County Agency
a written statement setting forth the amount of its obligations
to the county which become due and payable under this contract
prior to the time of the next following year's tax collections,
the amount of the funds which the township has or will have
on hand or to its credit in the hands of the county which have
been set aside and pledged for payment of said obligations
to the county, and the amount of the township taxes next proposed
to be levied for the purpose of raising money to meet such
obligations. The County Agency shall promptly review such
statement and, if he finds that the proposed township tax levy
is insufficient, he shall so notify the Township Board, and
the township hereby covenants and agrees that it will thereupon
increase its levy to such extent as may be required by the
County Agency.
12. No change in the jurisdiction over any territory
in the township shall in any manner impair the obligations
of this contract or affect the obligations of the township
hereunder. In the event that all or any part of the territory
of the township is incorporated as a new city or village or
is annexed to or becomes a part of the territory of another
municipality, the municipality into which such territory is
incorporated or to which such territory is annexed shall assume
the proper proportionate share of the contractual obligations -
(including the pledge of full faith and credit) of the township,
which proper proportionate share shall be fixed and determined
by the County Agency and shall be binding upon all parties
concerned unless, within sixty (60) days after such incorporation
-13--
or annexation becomes effective, the governing body of the
municipality into which such territory is incorporated or to
which such territory is annexed and the Township Board shall
by mutual agreement and with the written approval of the County
Agency fix and determine such proper proportionate share.
The County Agency shall, prior to making such determination,
receive a written recommendation as to the proper proportionate
share from a committee composed of one representative designated
by the Township Board of the township, one designated by the
governing body of the new municipality or the municipality
annexing such territory, and one independent registered engineer
appointed by the County Agency. Each governmental unit shall
appoint its representative within fifteen (15) days after being
notified to do so by the County Agency and within a like time
the County Agency shall appoint the engineer third member.
If any such representative (other than the appointee of the
County Agency) is not apppointed within the time above provided,
then the County Agency may proceed without said recommendation.
-If the committee shall not make the recommendation within forty-
five (45) days after its appointment or with any extension
therof by the County Agency, then the County Agency may proceed
without such recommendation.
13. This contract is contingent upon the county
issuing its negotiable bonds as herein provided, to defray
such part of the total estimated cost of the Sewer System as
is necessary to be financed, which bonds shall be issued under
the authorization provided in Section 5a, 5b and 5c of said
Act 342. Interest on the bonds may be capitalized and paid
from the bond proceeds for a period not exceeding the estimated
construction period and one year thereafter. In the event
-14-
that the bonds are not issued within three years from the date
of this contract, or if the township shall for any reason,
prior to the offering of the county bonds for public sale,
advise the county in writing that it desires to withdraw from
the project and that it will re-assume its liability to Aetna
Life Insurance Company, then unless extended by mutual agreement
it shall become null and void, except that the township shall
pay all engineering, legal and other costs and expenses there-
tofore incurred (less the amount of surplus funds [approximately
$850,000i used at the request of the township or of funds actually
advanced by the township for these water and sewer projects)
and shall be entitled to all plans, specifications and other
engineering data and materials.
14. Upon completion of the Sewer System the county
does hereby lease the same to the township to operate and
maintain the same upon the following terms and conditions:
(a) The facilities shall be used and operated by
the township in compliance with all con-
tractual and legal obligations applicable to
the township, and the township expressly
covenants and agrees to comply with the provi-
sions of U.S. Public Law 92-500, the Federal
rules and regulations thereunder, and the rules,
regulations and orders of the Michigan Depart-
ment of Natural Resources all of which are
applicable to the system by reason of Federal
and State grants made and received to finance
part of the cost of the facilities hereby leased.
(b) The township, at its own expense shall maintain
said facilities in good condition and repair
-15-
to the satisfaction of the County Agency. The
County Agency shall have the right to inspect
the said facilities at any time and if said
facilities or any part thereof are not in a
state of good condition and repair, then the
County Agency shall notify the township in
writing as to any deficiency. If the township
shall fail to restore the facilities to a good
condition and repair within a reasonable time
thereafter, then the County Agency shall have
the right to perform the necessary work and
furnish the necessary materials, and reimburse-
ment for any expense incurred by the county
shall be made by the township to the county
within thirty (30) days after the expense has
been incurred.
(c) The township shall adopt and continue in
existence and shall enforce an ordinance or
ordinances concerning the connections of
premises in the township to the facilities
and concerning the use of and the payment of
charges for the use of the facilities.
(d) The township shall make and collect from the
individual users of the facilities such charges
for sewage disposal services as shall be suf-
ficient to pay the cost of the operation and
maintenance of the facilities, the cost of
sewage disposal charges required to be paid
by the township, and to establish suitable
reserves for operation and maintenance. Such
-16-
charges may also include an amount determined
• by the township to be used to meet the obliga-
tions of the township to the county under this
contract and other contracts with the county
for sewage disposal services and facilities.
The township shall enforce prompt payment of
all such charges as the same shall become due.
(e) The township shall secure and maintain adequate
property damage and public liability insurance
covering all facilities hereby leased to it
by the county. All policies of insurance shall
provide that the township and the county shall be
insured parties thereunder and shall contain
a provision requiring that the County Agency
be notified at least ten days prior to cancel-
lation thereof. One copy of each policy of
insurance shall be filed with the County Agency.
The township agrees to lease the project form the
county upon the foregoing terms and conditions and for the
period of this contract and agrees to pay the sum of $1.00
per year on January 1st of each year commencing January 1,
1979, and in addition to perform its covenants and agreements
set forth in this contract as a rental for said project.
15. The county shall have no obligation or respon-
sibility for providing sewers or sewage disposal facilities
except as herein expressly provided with respect to the acquisi-
tion of the Sewer System or as otherwise provided by contract.
The township shall have the authority and the responsibility
to provide such other facilities and shall have the right to
-17-
expand the facilities of the Sewer System by constructing or
extending sewers or related facilities, connecting the same
to the Sewer System and otherwise improving the Sewer System.
It is expressly agreed, nevertheless, that no such connection
(other than individual tap-ins) shall be made to the Sewer
System and no improvements, enlargements or extensions thereof
shall be made without first securing a permit therefor from
the County Agency. Any such permit may be made conditional
upon inspection and approval of new construction by the County
Agency. It is further agreed that the Sewer System shall be
used for collection and conveyance of sanitary sewage only
and that the township shall take all necessary action to prevent
entry into the system of storm waters and also to prevent entry
of sewage or wastes of such a character as to be injurious
to the system or to the public health and safety.
16. All powers, duties and functions vested by this
contract in the county shall be exercised and performed by
the County Agency, for and on behalf of the county, unless
otherwise provided by law or in this contract.
17. The parties hereto recognize that the holders
from time to time of the bonds to be issued by the county under
the provisions of Act 342, and secured by the full faith and
credit pledge of the township to the making of its payments
as set forth in this contract, will have contractual rights
in this contract, and it is therefore covenanted and agreed
