BY: Finance Committee, Thomas F. Middleton, Chairperson
IN RE: SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING FOR THE LAKE NEVA LAKE LEVEL CONTROL STRUCTURE
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Lake Neva is an inland lake located in the Charter Township of White Lake, County of
Oakland, State of Michigan; and
WHEREAS the lake level is regulated, among other things, by a stand pipe structure ("lake level
structure") that is in serious need of repair and/or replacement; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality has indicated that the lake level structure
poses a substantial risk of failure which poses a risk to people and property; and
WHEREAS MR# 02019 established a Long Term Revolving Fund to assist in financing water and sewer
projects; and
WHEREAS MR# 11173 approved a loan from the Long Term Revolving Fund not to exceed $150,000 for
the design and repair of the Lake Neva lake level control structure; and
WHEREAS the total cost estimate for the project is now $247,641; and
WHEREAS MR# 02019 limits Long Term Revolving Fund loans to $150,000 and an exception is being
requested to authorize an additional loan to the Lake Neva project in the amount of $97,650; and
WHEREAS funding is currently available in the Long-Term Revolving Fund to issue a loan in the amount
of $247,650 for the Lake Neva Lake Level Control Structure project, and no budget amendment is
necessary; and
WHEREAS none of the $150,000 loan amount previously authorized in MR #11173 has been release to
the project to date; charges will be based on the updated total loan amount of $247,650; and
WHEREAS MR #89276 states that an interest rate no less than the prevailing six-month Treasury Bill rate
should be charged; and
WHEREAS the six-month Treasury Bill rate is quite a bit lower than the average interest rate from the
Treasurer's pooled investments, and therefore, the rate to be charged will be the last published
Treasurer's pooled investment average monthly rate for the month of August 2011, which is 1.121%; and
WHEREAS the Charter Township of White Lake ("Township") intends to establish a special assessment
district in accordance with 1954 PA 188, as amended and its charter to make the necessary repairs to the
lake level control structure and agrees to pledge the full faith and credit of the Township for the prompt
repayment of the principal and interest of the loan from the County.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorizes an
additional $97,650 to the loan previously approved pursuant to MR# 11173. Said addition shall not
exceed $97,650 from the County's Long Term Revolving Fund to the Charter Township of White Lake
with an annual interest rate to be determined in accordance with County policy at the time the funds are
disbursed for the costs associated with the administration, legal proceedings, design and repair of the
lake level control structure for Lake Neva.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the loan shall be applied to all costs for administration, legal proceedings,
design, and repair of the project.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the loan with applicable interest shall be paid in full and shall be assessed
against the Township in five (5) annual installments beginning with the 2012 tax year.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the Chairperson is authorized to execute the agreement between the
County and the Charter Township of White Lake, in the form recommended and approved by Corporation
Counsel with terms and conditions necessary for repayment of the loan provided herein.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that no funds will be distributed from the Long Term Revolving Fund until
after the appropriate Special Assessment District is legally established.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move the foregoing resolution.
