OAKLAND COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE 2015 LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE MICHIGAN RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL This CONTRACT is made and entered into between the MICHIGAN RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL, a Corporation, registered and licensed to conduct business in the State of Michigan, whose local address is 12600 Dixie Highway, Holly, Michigan, 48442 ("COMPANY"), and the COUNTY OF OAKLAND, a Michigan Constitutional and Municipal Corporation, whose address is 1200 North Telegraph Road, Pontiac, Michigan 48341 ("COUNTY"). The COUNTY is also represented by the OAKLAND COUNTY SHERIFF, MICHAEL J. BOUCHARD, in his official capacity as a Michigan Constitutional Officer, whose address is 1200 North Telegraph Road, Bldg. 38 E., Pontiac, Michigan 48341 ("SHERIFF"). In this CONTRACT, when the COUNTY and SHERIFF are referred to jointly and collectively, they will be referred to as the OAKLAND COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE ("O.C.S.0."). INTRODUCTION: A. The COMPANY, has a series of one day events that are open to the general public and held annually on approximately fourteen (14) acres located at 12500 Dixie Highway, Holly, Michigan 48442, which includes numerous performances, performers in period costumes, concerts, demonstrations, shows, ceremonies, and concessions featuring both eateries and drinking booths, and other activities in an effort to recreate the atmosphere of an old European village during the Renaissance era ("EVENT"); B. The COMPANY has consulted with the local law enforcement department regarding its ability to provide sufficient LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT and regarding whether any supplemental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES are desirable and/or necessary. C. The SHERIFF, subject to the limits of available DEPUTIES and budget constraints, is authorized by law to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES throughout the jurisdiction and territorial limits of Oakland County. D. The COMPANY has approached the 0.C,S,O. about the possibility of supplementing limited, local LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES with 0.C.S.O. DEPUTIES to provide increased LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT; E. The same fiscal and practical restrictions that limit the availability of local police resources for LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT also limit the ability of the SHERIFF to reassign DEPUTIES to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT as part of their normal shift assignments and duties. However, because of the relatively large number of DEPUTIES the 0.C.S.O. employs, the 0.C.S.O. may be able to provide supplemental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT on an overtime basis. F. The COMPANY, in recognition of the expense to the 0.C.S.O. in providing increased LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT, has agreed to pay all COUNTY costs incurred in providing DEPUTIES for increased LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT. G. The 0.C.S.O. is agreeable to providing DEPUTIES for supplemental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT pursuant to the terms and conditions of this CONTRACT, provided that such LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES do not; (a) impair or interfere with the 0.C.S.O.'s ability to meet its other law enforcement responsibilities; (b) result in any 0.C.S.O. loss of operational efficiency or readiness; and/or (c) result in any increased financial burdens or the assumption of any additional liabilities to County taxpayers. THEREFORE it is mutually agreed as follows: 1, Definitions.
