DEPARTMENT REVIEW Department of Management and Budget: Approved. — Laurie Van Pelt (7/9/2014) Department of Human Resources: I-LR Approved. — Lori Taylor (7/9/2014) Risk Management and Safety: Approved with Modification. R.E. 7-9-14. Required Modification: Section IX. INDEMNIFICATION AND GRANTEE LIABILITY INSURANCE., requires the County to "provide and maintain its own general liability, property damage, and workers compensation insurance." Oakland County is self-insured for several areas of exposure and therefor does not meet the current insurance requirements detailed in this agreement. Risk Management recommends that the agreement be modified to include the tenn "or self-insurance" after each mention of "insurance" within this section. Risk Management also defers the issue of the Indemnification language in this section to Corporation Counsel for their comment. There are no outstanding legal issues with the above grant. I would have preferred the MEDC removing the word "Indemnification" from the title of Section IX and as a reference to insurance however, their agreement to delete the paragraph requiring indemnification is acceptable. — Robert Erlenbeck (7/9/2014) Corporation Counsel: There are 3 recommended changes to the grant: 1) delete of indemnification requirement and substitute alternative liability language; 2) changes to the insurance language to allow for self-insurance; 3) define "CDC" as "Community Development Council", If acceptable to the Board of Commissioners, this grant may be approved subject to Corporation Counsel negotiating appropriate language changes to the grant. —Joellen Shortley (7/14/2014) CASE-98367 MICHIGAN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION GRANT WITH OAKLAND COUNTY The Michigan Economic Development Corporation (the "MEDC") enters into a binding agreement (the "Agreement") with Oakland County (the "Grantee").
