IN RE: STATUS REPORT ON COUNTY WASTE DISPOSAL FACILITY AND
DATA PROCESSING CENTER
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
In the past several months the Buildings and Grounds Committee and the Board
of Auditors have implemented several projects in the County Service Center necessitated
by the continuous growth of the County.
Your Ways and Means Committee has concurred in these projects and wishes to
report to the Board of Supervisors on the status of two of the projects.
1. The Service Center Waste Disposal Project will be located at a site along the
Grand Trunk Railroad at the north end of the Service Center.
The facility will contain 600 square feet and will house a pathological crematory
and a general refuse incinerator, both complete with flue gas washers.
Consumers Power Company will be installing a main gas line for which an
easement will be needed, and a 10-inch water main will be extended to the vicinity from
which a service can be obtained.
The contract for the incinerator has already been awarded on August 9, 1965,
and separate contracts will be let in the near future for water extension and the building.
The total estimated project cost is $55,000, which funds were provided for in
the 1965 utilities working capital fund, and work on the project is expected to commence
next month.
2. The Data Processing Center is being constructed in the basement of the Court
House in the area formerly used as a jury assembly room. At this time partition and
electrical work is being done with the raised floor to be installed some time during the
week of August 16, 1965. Data processing equipment is on the premises, ready to be
assembled in place when the other preliminary work is completed.

The Center will furnish data processing services to County departments,
increase efficiency and aid in providing better citizen service. It is also contemplated
that local units of government and other public agencies will avail themselves of this
service at nominal cost.
The estimated protect cost for the Data Processing Center is $40,000, funds
as provided for from the encumbered data processing fund at the end of 1964.
Your Ways and Means Committee will report on other pending protects as
implementation and work progresses.
MR. CHAIRMAN, on behalf of the Ways and Means Committee, I move that the
foregoing report be received and placed on file.
