Miscellaneous Resolution #92191 September /G, 1992
hance Committee
BY: Finance Committee - G. William Caddell, Chairperson
IN RE: Central Services/Radio Communications - 800 MHz Radio Communication
System Financing Contract with Motorola
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, after extensive research and investigation, the Board of
Commissioners' counsel has determined that the financing contracts with
Motorola were not executed by the Board of Commissioners as required by state
statute (MCL 46.11b) and are thus invalid and extralegal; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners has not appropriated sufficient
funds for execution and payment of either of these financing agreements, as
required by state statute (MCL 141.421 et seq.) and the Board of
Commissioners General Appropriations Act; and
WHEREAS, these financing agreements are in conflict with the
financing provisions and other requirements in: the county's "request for
proposal", the vendor's bid and the basic contract negotiated by county and
vendor committees; and
WHEREAS, these financing agreements result in considerable excess
interest cost to Oakland County by virtue of the fact that, unlike other
county leased purchase contracts, interest payments are required prior to
investment of the funds in the project by the vendor.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners directs its counsel, William P. Hampton, in cooperation with
the County Corporation Counsel, to contact Motorola for the purpose of
negotiating a financing agreement which shall be an addendum to the basic
contract (exhibit E) and will be consistent with the requirements of the
county's RFP and the basic contract and is acceptable to the Board of
Commissioners.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that such renegotiated agreement will be
presented to the Oakland County Board of Commissioners for approval as
required by state statute and for sufficient appropriation as required by
state law and county policy.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move the
adoption of the foregoing resolution.
