IN RE: YOUTH ACTIVITIES COMPLEX - DAVISBURG
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the presently constituted statutory Oakland County Parks and Recreation
Commission has responsibility for the development and implementing of recreation and similar
programs in Oakland County; and
WHEREAS, by Resolution #5984, Oakland County contracted with the Parks and
Recreation Commission for the operation of the Youth Activities Complex, with the thought
that said operation would be self-sustaining; and
WHEREAS the operation of recreational and similar programs at the Youth Activities
Complex has drained nearly $188,000 of general fund dollars into this program area since its
inception in 1972 and
WHEREAS the future development of the site known as the YOUTH ACTIVITIES COMPLEX
as outlined to the Planning and Building Committee in a presentation entitled "Springfield-Oaks
Parks Exposition Master Plan," March, 1975, will require substantial public expenditures and
these funds can be best provided for under the Parks and Recreation millage of Oakland County;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the County Executive be directed to enter into
negotiations for the sale of the Youth Activities Complex land and buildings to the Oakland
County Parks and Recreation Commission, forthwith, and in the interim take immediate action
to provide for a balanced budget for present operations at the Complex without the use of
County general funds.
MR. CHAIRMAN, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
