RE: ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PLANNING AND BUILDING COMMITTEE
BY: THE PLANNING AND BUILDING COMMITTEE
TO: THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
MR. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
In accordance with Section X, Rule "E", of the Rules for
the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, your Planning &
Building Committee has made an inspection of most of the
County owned buildings and grounds; and found the County
facilities satisfactorily maintained, cleaned and repaired.
The conditions continue to speak well for the employees of the
Department of Central Services, Facilities and Operations Unit.
During the past year there have been many accomplishments
in the County Capital Improvement Program. The North Office
Building renovations were completed and all departments were
moved in by March of this year. The new Medical Care Facility
was completed in the latter part of July, and the building
dedication held on July 23 with the first patients moving in
on August 11. Also, approval was finally received and the
Building Authority bonds in the amount of $3,200,000 were sold
this year for the Medical Care Facility Construction.
The Committee by Resolution 7488 dated March 18,1976,
established a procedure and policy for selection of architects
and engineers for County design work. This procedure was
developed after a public hearing and was used satisfactorily
to select design consultants for the new Children's Village
School and the Law Enforcement Training Center. The Children's
Village School project cost is estimated at $805,000 for
Phase I and $490,000 For Phase II. The Law Enforcement Training
Center project cost is estimated at $1,621,000. Basic design
work on both projects has been completed and both these projects
have been submitted for federal funding under the Local Public
Works Capital Development and Investment Program (P.L. 94-369).
Other building related projects reviewed and approved by
the Committee during 1976 included the relocation of the

communication area for the Sheriff's Department at the Law
Enforcement-Jail Complex ($23,000); remodeling for the establish-
ment of a cancer screening program at the South Oakland Health
Center ($38,000); and some remodeling in the Courthouse (S17,200)
and the Auditorium ($12,000). Presently, bids are being received
for the relocation and expansion of the Detention Area at the
Courthouse. Under the Utility Section, approval was given to
the Road Commission to resurface some of the County Center Roads
($55,000) and a utility tunnel was renovated at the Administrative
Annex 11 ($52,000). Before the end of the year, a contract should
be awarded in regard to repair of concrete cracks in these utility
tunnels.
Additional investigation of the marble fasia on the
Courthouse Complex indicated additional corrective work on
the East Wing which was started in 1976. The project cost
for this work is estimated at 200,000.
A major study was conducted by the County Executive's
Office on the County's administrative and judicial space needs
for the next 10 years. This report is presently under review
by the Committee, but the study does establish a plan for
future expansion and remodeling of County Buildings which will
allow work to be done following a definite plan and not just
for crisis solving for an immediate need,
Your Committee continues to see a large task ahead to
provide government facilities for our growing County. In 1977
we anticipate starting the major renovations of the former
County Hospital for administrative offices and at least Phase I
construction of Children's Village School. This year has been
a busy year, but your Committee expects the years ahead to
be even busier in order to provide and maintain an adequate
physical plant in which to carry out County services.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Planning & Building Committee,
I move that the foregoing report be received and placed on file.
