Subject: 2015 Michigan Department of Natural Resources OC C1SMA Michigan Invasive Species Grant
Program Award — Match Funding
INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY
In October 2015 the Commission approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the formation of the
Oakland County Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area (CISMA). The purpose of the C1SMA is to
work toward addressing the effects of invasive species across jurisdictional boundaries through programs,
education and outreach, and securing grant funding to support these efforts. The OC CISMA was awarded a
grant from the Michigan Invasive Species Program's 2015 cycle and a grant agreement was executed in March
of this year as noted in the Executive Officer's Report from the March 1 meeting (attached). The Stewardship
Network is the acting fiduciary for the grant, and will be the CISMA member responsible for coordinating
reimbursement to all CISMA participants. The grant will provide Oakland County Parks and Recreation with
$10,941 in state funding toward the treatment of invasive Swallowwort and Phragmites at five (5) Oakland
County Parks. Below is the breakdown of the anticipated funding from the MDNR via the Stewardship
Network.
• $8000 for HGH Swallow-wort Treatment FY16
• $250 for ADD Phragmites Treatment FY17
• $1020 for 1ND Phragmites Treatment — Split Between FY16 and FY17
• $1021 for ORN Phragmites Treatment — Split Between FY16 and FY17
• $650 for RSE Phragmites Treatment — Split Between FY16 and FY17
As OCPR is not the grantee for this project, there is no grant approval needed. However, approval of the
match expenditure is needed by OCPR Commission and the OC Board of Commissioners before
reimbursement can be processed. The match contributed by OCPR is $52,304. Of the $52,304, $43,804 is
budgeted for on-the-ground invasive species management spanning the 2016 and 2017 fiscal years. The
remaining $8,500 is the estimated value of office space for the CISMA coordinator, who OCPR is housing for
the duration of the grant at an available Natural Resources workstation. There were no actual expenditures for
this position (the coordinator is utilizing an existing work station and computer), but rather the $8,500 is an
estimated value for 18 months of office space rental. As the $52,304 is considered grant match, it must be
approved as such by the OC Board of Commissioners prior to receiving reimbursement from the Michigan
Department of Natural Resources. The first round of reimbursements for work completed thus far is anticipated
in August.

Oakland County Collaborative Invasive Species Management Area (OC CISMA) Receives
State MISGP Grant Award
The OC C1SMA was awarded a 2015 MDNR Michigan Invasive Species Program (MISGP)
Grant. The MISGP is a joint initiative among the State of Michigan Departments of Natural
Resources, Environmental Quality and Agriculture and Rural Development to address strategic
issues of prevention, detection, eradication, and control for both terrestrial and aquatic invasive
species in Michigan. The 2015 MISGP Grant was a highly-competitive grant involving many
partners. Work outlined by the grant represents an effort to build multi-jurisdictional, inter-
agency capacity and efficiencies in the area of invasive species management in Oakland
County. OCPR will receive $12,968 in State funding toward treatment of invasive swallowwort
and Phragmites at 5 Oakland County Parks.
Grant Highlights:
State Funds: $235,126
OC CISMA Match: $210, 486
TOTAL GRANT: $445,612
Fiduciary: The Stewardship Network (TSN), https://wvvw.stewardshipnetwork.orq
State Funding will be split amongst the 18 OC CISMA Partners (County Departments,
CVTs, Conservation Organizations) and will cover:
• A PINE CISMA Coordinator for 18 mos.
• A Strategic Plan for County-wide Invasive Management
• Contracted Invasive Treatment for 1108.73 acres (non-ROW) and 117.23 acres
(48.37 miles ROW) Phragmites, knotweed, flowering rush, and swallow-wort
Local Match will largely be in the areas of:
• Contracted Invasive Treatment on public, protected lands, and adjacent private
lands of ecological significance
• Public Education and Outreach on invasive species identification and control best
practices for Oakland County Residents
The OC CISMA Steering Committee meets monthly.
Next steps for the Steering Committee:
• Negotiating a Grant Agreement with TSN and MDNR
• Drafting RFP's (managed by TSN) for an OC C1SMA Coordinator Position and Strategic
Plan
• Partner-specific contracted treatment to begin summer 2016
Oakland County Departments will also need to pursue 130C approval of a collective signature of
the OC CISMA MOU.
