NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorizes the Department of Economic Development and Community Affairs to continue facilitating the NO HAZ as long as the member communities fully reimburse the County for all costs and expenses connected with the operation of the program. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Department of Economic Development & Community Affairs will continue to bring the annual Interlocal agreements to the Board of Commissioners for approval.

Addison Township 1440 Rochester Road www,twp.addison.rni.us Leonard, Michigan 48367 248.628.3317 July 1, 2015 Dear County Commissioners: The North Oakland Household Hazardous Waste (NO HAZ) program provides a very valuable service to our residents. Offering a program to properly dispose of household hazardous waste is something they have come to expect. It alleviates the dumping of chemicals into our drainage systems and hazardous items along our roadways. Having the county facilitate the NO HAZ program provides us the ability to offer this service. Without the county's assistance, we would not have the staffing resources necessary to administer this important program and we save on costs by partnering with our neighboring communities. I encourage you to support the Economic Development & Community Affairs Department's request to continue facilitating the NO HAZ program beyond this year. As we reimburse the county for all expenses related to the NO HAZ program, it seems a win-win program for all of us. Thank you for your consideration and feel free to contact me with any questions or to further discuss the program.

LAKE ANGELUS 45 Gallogly Lake Angelus, MI 48326 June 25, 2015 Dear County Commissioners, The North Oakland Household Hazardous Waste (NOHAZ) program is very valuable to our Oakland County community. It provides a service that our residents respect and use to protect the waters of Lake Angelus and the lands adjacent from a wide variety of potential contaminants. Our relationship with Oakland County and the other members of this consortium, provides our small community the only opportunity to provide this service. We could not bear the cost alone or staff such a program. As an indication of our City's commitment and encouragement, the opportunity to participate is provided at no individual per-car cost to our residents. We encourage the County Commissioners to support the Economic Development and Community Affairs Department's request to continue to facilitate the NO HAZ program beyond 2015. The participating Communities reimburse the County for all expenses related to NO HAZ, and make Oakland County a cleaner, safer and healthier place to live and work. It seems a model project. Thank you for your consideration and feel free to contact me to further discuss the program, if you wish.
