including the closure of numerous General Motors Automobile Assembly Plants, the loss of suppliers and support services
and the resultant declining tax base; and
WHEREAS the substantial decline in automotive related commerce in the City of Pontiac and the region has additionally
resulted in a substantial reduction in community, housing, commercial, and other economic assets resulting in a
burdensome loss of jobs, and
WHEREAS as a means to mitigate the effects of the economic downturn, Oakland County intends to apply for funding for
the City of Pontiac to prepare an Economic Recovery Plan which includes the development, and subsequent
implementation, of an economic development strategy; and
WHEREAS due to the lack of staff at the City of Pontiac, and that the City of Pontiac remains subject to an emergency
financial manager, Oakland County Planning and Economic Development Services (PEDS) division has agreed to apply
for $80,000 in EDA funding and provide an additional $35,000 in in-kind services; and
WHEREAS the in-kind services will be approximately 800 hours of staff time from the Department of Economic
Development and Community Affairs over the course of the one-year grant cycle; and
WHEREAS Oakland County will provide the $35,000 match of in-kind services only if the grant is awarded; and
WHEREAS if awarded, Oakland County will serve as grant administrator and will manage the preparation of the grant
funded Economic Recovery Plan for the duration of the grant; and
WHEREAS no new staff positions will be required to implement or administer this grant; and
WHEREAS the U.S. Department of Commerce EDA grant application guidelines require a resolution of support from the
applicant's governing body as part of the application process.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorizes and approves the
Oakland County Department of Economic Development and Community Affairs grant application on behalf of the City of
Pontiac for the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Agency Planning Program and Local Technical
Assistance Initiative.

Corporation Counsel:
There are not outstandinff, al issues that should delay the application for this grant.
At the reconimendation of Corporation Counsel, the County's Economic Development
Department tried to persuade EDA that the SF-LLL Lobbying certification was not required and
should not be filled out by the County. This form is required only if the County had or intended
to use a Lobbyist to directly influence Congress concerning this grant. The rules in the aTant
application also were clear. that if the form was not required to be sioned., it would not be
required with the application. Unfortunately, EDA had a different interpretation and would not
accept the application without the SF-LLL form. - Joellen Shortley (3/13/2013)

Vm not sure if this has already been submitted electronically or if you can fix the tiebt question, if you can fix, can you
please re.send the corrected version. I cannot approve the application with incorrect .information.
As to the other question, don't know what they are asking for— it sounds technical from a planning perspective, and
I'm sorry but can't provide any guidance. However ; I would not hold up my apormal because of that question. I
pointed it out in case you were unaware of it so that your application would not be rejected on a technicality for
incompleteness if it was simply an oversight.

Identify and describe the region where the project will be located, identify and describe the region that
will benefit from the project (if different from or in addition to the region in which the project will be
located), and discuss the project's expected economic impact. For purposes of this application, a
region is defined as an economic unit of human, natural, technological, capital or other resources,
defined geographically. Geographic areas comprising a region need not be continguous or defined by
political boundaries, but should constitute a cohesive area capable of undertaking self-sustained
economic development." (See 13 C.F.R. § 300.3 for the definition of "Region.")
Southeast Michigan is a seven-county region comprised of Lapeer,
Livingston, Macomb, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw, and Wayne counties;
accounting for 4B of the _states population. This planning project is
specifically intended for the City of Pontiac, within Oakland County, MI.
With appropriate planning and implementation, it is anticipated that an
Economic Recovery Plan for Pontiac will assist Oakland County in reaching
its goal of full employment while also reducing local and regional
unemployment rates. The addition of high-wage and middle-ware jobs within
the City of Pontiac will positively impact the median income of the working
class.
Furthermore, attracting business back into the city will reduce the
building vacancy rates, thereby increasing the tax revenues and improving
the business climate. With the location of businesses in the city comes the
addition of jobs for city residents.
i,nvestme-'(P roject)

are proposing a construction project, please include specific construction components. Also, for
National Technical Assistance, Training and Research and Evaluation Projects, provide a description
of the methodology to be used to complete the project.
Funding will allow Oakland County to create an economic recovery plan
designed to stimulate and guide the economic development efforts of the
City of Pontiac, Michigan. Oakland County intends to contract and work
closely with a Consultant who will be tasked with developing a plan to
address the economic development strategies established for the region.
The Consultant will provide a road map to accomplish the economic recovery
plan by:
Exploring - Including preliminary assessment of current status, definition
of boundaries, review of existing data/documents, and stakeholder analysis.
Decision. Making - Understanding, deciding and planning a project to reach a
common objective.
Economic Recovery Plan Development - Defining how to reach the appropriate
goals.

Development Strategy (CEDS)? (See •
: ) (Note: Except for strategy
grants as described in 13 C.F.R. § 303.7, the region in which Public Works or Economic
Adjustment projects will be located must have a CEDS with which the project is consistent.)
Yes No
If Yes, what is the source? Note: If you are unsure if your region has a CEDS, please contact your
local District Organization.
Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOC)
If No, what alternate strategic planning document do you wish to govern this investment? Note: You

b. Briefly describe the economic development needs of the region and now the proposed
investment addresses the goals and objectives of the CE.DS for the region or the alternate
strategic planning document as noted above. (See 13 part 303.)
The regional CEDE includes II strategies with the overall goal of
Increasing Jobs and Prosperity in Southeast Michigan. These
will be the basis for planning in the City of Pontiac. Relow
individual strategies:
- Educating Our Future Workforce
- Retooling Our Workforce
- Advancing innovation and Technology
- Creating an Entrepreneurial Culture
- Increasing Capital Funding
- Designing a Fair and Competitive Tax Structure
- Shaping Responsive Government
- Enhancing Transportation Connections
- Optimizing Infrastructure Investment
- Marketing the Region
- Strengthening Quality of Place
strategies
are
Funding from the Economic Development Administration for a Planning Program
will allow the City of Pontiac and Oakland County to adopt a clear and
strategic vision that parallels the regional initiative set forth in the
C7DS.
Briefly describe the economic conditions of the region described in A.1, as well as the
economic adjustment problems or economic dislocations the region has experienced (or is
about to experience) and the regional impact of these conditions.
The seven-county Southeast Michigan region is on •a major upswing.
Unemployment continues to hover around 10% with just over 200,000
unemployed residents, down significantly from a high of 363,000 in July
2009.
Within the region, Oakland County is also thriving and is recognized as one
of the most prosperous counties in the nation. Over half of the County's
residents have a college degree with about 42% having attained a bachelor's
degree and nearly 10% with post-graduate degrees.
Pontiac, however, is an economically distressed city with a per capita
income of only $16,852 and an unemployment rate of 21.7% (Dec 2012), almost
three times the national average of 7.9% (Jan 2013). Between 2008 and 2010,
the area lost two GM auto manufacturing facilities and tens of thousands of
jobs. The job losses crippled the city and resulted in a $12 million
deficit. The US Census Bureau reports that the population of Pontiac
decreased 10% from 2000 to 2010 alone. As a result, the city is currently
run by a State of Michigan appointed emergency financial manager to oversee
the operation of city government.
The auto .industry has not been the only contributing factor to Pontiao's
Problems. The historic downtown, once the hub of community commerce, Has
faced many challenges. The migration of residents to outlying suburbs, the
movement of retail outlets to large central malls and commercial strips,
changing lifestyle preferences, and demographic -Shifts have all conspired
to draw people and commerce away from Downtown Pontiac. Finally, bad
planning decisions in the early 1960's literally strangled the downtown.
The once vibrant central business district still shows the scars of Urban
Renewal, with many buildings demolished and never rebuilt.
A.4. investment (Project) impact and Fit with EDP. Funthng Prioritiee
Discuss how the proposed investment satisfies EDA's investment Policy Guidelines as set forth in 13
C.F.R. § 301.8, as well as the EDA funding priorities set forth in the applicable Federal Funding
Opportunity (FFO) announcement on
Inherent in this planning project will be the incorporation of all cf the
BOA current investment Policy Guidelines. In this regard, the planning
strategies developed and adopted for Pontiac's economic recovery plan will
Be market-based and results driven.
The recovery plan will focus on revitalizing the once strong, if not
dominant, competitive strengths and inherent assets of the Pontiac region.
All economic development strategies developed will have dualitative and
quantifiable goals that will result in measurable economic improvement.
Rave strong organizational leadership.
The Recovery Planning Project will be directed by, and have the full
cooneratem ci, the Planning and Economic Development Division of Gehlen
County in direct collaboration with the County Foard of Commissioners and
the leadership team of the City . of PontHsc. In addition, the leadership
team of the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG) will be
involved in working with the planning team to ensure that goals and
objectives align with the existing CEDS.
eeiiie eieeeeeeeeee ( eieeeeeeie eie eieeeeeeeeeeeeee
The overarching theme of the project will be to develop a plan that is
based upon leading edge economic development thoughts and strategies. It
will be critical that this effort develop strategies that recognize and
place emphasis on the need for an economic environment that rewards new
ideas, is innovative in its approach, and is attractive to entrepreneurs.
The County of Oakland will place the full force of its considerable
business accelerator initiatives behind the project to include Automation
Alley, OU INC, the Emerging Sectors and Medical Main Street. The plan will
also incorporate input from the State and local organizations involved in
business development regarding any forward thinking strategies. It is
anticipated that any available technical assistance organizations will also
provide input.
Look beyond the immediate economic horizon, anticipate economic changes and
diversify the local and regional economy.
The CEDS .developed by SEMCOG places a priority on planning for the long-
term in Southeast Michigan.. The City of Pontiac's economic recovery plan
will not only revitalize the city but, more importantly, play an integral
role in regional growth. The entire region will benefit when Pontiac
becomes the productive, thriving business environment that it used to be.
Further., the plan will benefit from the lessons .learned in the impressive
economic turnaround that has occurred in the region in addition to having
access to the comprehensive and exhaustive research that has been
accomplished to determine future trends and needs in the region. It will
make the effort to anticipate economic changes in the planning effort
extremely effective.
Demonstrate a high degree of local commitment.
Strategy committee membership represents a high degree of local commitment
with the inclusion of stakeholders from higher education., community
organizations, workforce development, private sector employers and public
governmental partners.
The economic recovery plan will satisfy FDA funding priorities through:
Collaborative Regional Innovation:
Working in a vacuum has done little, if anything, for the City of Pontiac.
Oakland County will leverage its resources and relationships to work
closely with SEMCOG to stimulate and advance great ideas that speed
innovative and technology-driven ideas to market.
Public/Private Partnerships:
Depending on the outcomes of the planning grant and the initiatives
proposed therein, the City of Pontiac and Oakland County are prepared to
engage the support of both non-profit and for profit entities to advance
the specific objectives of the recovery plan, As is outlined within the
Strategy Committee Membership section, representatives from both the public
and private sector(s) will be consulted in the planning phase and specific
contributions and/or investments will be solicited upon plan
implementation. It is anticipated that the Pontiac Downtown Business
Association and the Pontiac Regional Chamber will play a critical role in
engaging the support of local businesses. Other major employers including
General Motors, Doctor's Hospital of Michigan, McLaren Oakland Hospital,
and St. Joseph. Mercy Hospital - Oakland will be engaged in various aspects
of the recovery plan.
National Strategic Priorities:
The EPA's National Strategic Priorities Were written with Southeast
Michigan, and specifically Pontiac, in mind. It is well documented that
Pontiac is a community severely impacted by automotive industry
restructuring. In addition, SEMCOG has identified six clusters which are
either historically linked to the region or are viewed as opportunities for
growth. Three of the most highly concentrated clusters are closely tied to
the automotive industry - professional and technical services; management
of companies; and manufacturing. Three additional clusters deserve
attention for attracting future growth - health care and social assistance;
transportation and warehousing; and information.
Global Competitiveness:
The City of Pontiac has the ability to tap into the many initiatives that
:support innovation-based entrepreneurs looking to expand and complete in
global markets through Automation Alley - a regional technology business
association and driver of the innovation cluster in Southeast Michigan.
Automation Alley focuses on the importance ofeincreasing global
competitiveness through the expansion of U.S. exports. Businesses already
located in Pontiac as well as those who may consider moving to the city's
business district will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of
activities from trade missions to seminars and worksholno on exporting and
doing business abroad. Furthermore, Automation Alley is home to an
International Business Center which provides a soft landing space for
international companies to use as a home base while exploring opportunities
to do business in Southeast Michigan. The City of Pontiac has a plethora
of opportunities to present to business prospects if properly exploited
through a revised Economic Recovery Plan.
Environmentally-Sustainable Development:
The Economic Recovery Plan will encourage "green" and ,e_co-friendly"
developments. Within its borders, the City has two sources that offer
significant opportunities for alternative energy businesses. Harnessing
the power of the now capped Pontiac Municipal Landfill and recently
acquired Wastewater Treatment Facility may present alternative energy
companies with the resources necessary to exploit a developing alternative
energy technology. In addition, the County has been actively engaged with
the RACER Trust, an independent trust tasked with cleaning up and
positioning former GM properties for redevelopment. The City of Pontiac has
16 such properties available, five of which have been sold.
Economically Distressed and Enderserved Communities:
The City of Pootiac has been identified by the Unitef States tment of
Labor Office of Recovery for .euto Communities anC Woio_ars as a zl:y
disproportionately affected by. the downturn of the automotive industry. It
is the desire of the City of Pontiac and the County of Oakland to
regenerate and revitalize the city to its fullest potential.
Diversification into other Emerging Sectors and industry clusters, as
previously identified, will enhance the City's ability to once again become
competitive in the global economy. Funding from the EDA coupled with
privately funded initiatives currently .underway within the city will add to
the momentum required to bring the economic recovery plan to fruition.
A.5.. Applicant's Capab iity
Briefly describe the applicant's capability to administer, implement, and attract private sector
investments to the project.
Oakland County employs a unique "executive" form of government that ensures
accountability and efficiency in its services and encourages cooperation
with its communities to address issues of mutual concern. The County will
provide administrative and programmatic oversight and will contract with a
consultant/firm for the development of the economic recovery plan. As
required, Oakland County will qualify consulting firms through a bid
process; consulting firms will be required to submit documentation that
demonstrates their related qualifications and experience.
Oakland County is one of Michigan's largest employment centers for
enaineering and related occupations. AS such, the County has, in recent
years, invested a significant amount of technical and professional
assistance to its municipalities through various poogramo including Main
Street, Emerging Sectors, and Medical Main Street. Moving forward, the
County will continue to support municipalities, like Pontiac, by engaging
their experienced team of economic developers. These talented individuals
are well prepared to assist companies in taking advantage of the $100
million in state incentives offered every year for business attraction and
lexpansion projects that ultimateiy create new jobs in Oakland County:
Initiatives such as the Michigan Community Revitalization Program, Oakland
County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority, Federal Historic Tax Credit
Program, Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Act, Michigan Diversification
Loan Fund Program, and the Alternative Energy Tax Credits, lust to name a
few, will assist in attracting additional private sector investment to the
City of Pontiac.
Note: Oakland County is not currently suspended, debarred, or otherwise
ineligible to receive federal funding.

Dear Ms. Tamayo:
On behalf of SEMCOG, I am pleased to submit this letter supporting Oakland County's
application for funding to create a strategic plan for the economic recovery of the City of
Pontiac. Our Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy recognizes the importance of
central cities, such as Pontiac, and their historic downtowns, in creating jobs and economic
prosperity in Southeast Michigan. Pontiac is centrally located within Oakland County and serves
as the seat of county government, which further highlights the importance of the city's economic
vitality.
Oakland County Planning and Economic Development and the City of Pontiac will collaborate
in creating an economic development plan that will identify actions that are needed to effectuate
Pontiac's economic prosperity. The intent is to align this plan with SEMCW.Ts Comprehensive
Economic Development Strategy that includes 11-based .strategies and associated a.ctiori steps
that encompass the region's human resources, business climate, and community assets three
important factors for attracting, retaining, expanding, and creating businesses and jobs.
Again, we are pleased to support this project that will benefit Pontiac and the region. This
project is subject to completion of Regional Review under Executive Order 12372.
