IN RE: INTENT TO ESTABLISH A PROPERTY ASSESSED CLEAN ENERGY PROGRAM AND
CALLING PUBLIC HEARING
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners intends to authorize the establishment of a
property assessed clean energy program ("PACE Program") and create a PACE district pursuant to Act
No. 270, Public Acts of Michigan, 2010 ("Act 270"), for the purpose of promoting the use of renewable
energy systems and energy efficiency improvements by owners of certain real property; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners intends to find that financing energy projects is a valid public
purpose because it reduces energy costs, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, stimulates economic
development, improves property values and increases employment in the County; and
WHEREAS the types of energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy systems that may be
financed under the PACE Program include, but are not limited to: insulation in walls, roofs, floors,
foundations, or heating and cooling distribution systems; storm windows and doors; multi-glazed windows
and doors; heat-absorbing or heat-reflective glazed and coated window and door systems; and additional
glazing, reductions in glass area, and other window and door system modifications that reduce energy
consumption; automated energy control systems; heating, ventilating, or air-conditioning and distribution
system modifications or replacements; caulking, weather-stripping, and air sealing; replacement or
modification of lighting fixtures to reduce the energy use of the lighting system; energy recovery systems;
day lighting systems; installation or upgrade of electrical wiring or outlets to charge a motor vehicle that is
fully or partially powered by electricity; measures to reduce the usage of water or increase the efficiency
of water usage; any other installation or modification of equipment, devices, or materials approved as a
utility cost-savings measure by the PACE Program; a fixture, product, device, or interacting group of
fixtures, products, or devices on the customer's side of the meter that use one or more renewable energy
resources to generate electricity. Renewable energy resources include, but are not limited to: biomass
(including a biomass stove but not an incinerator); solar and solar thermal energy; wind energy;
geothermal energy and methane gas captured from a landfill; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners intends to create a PACE district having the same boundaries as
the County's jurisdictional boundaries; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners intends to join Lean & Green Michigan TM, and intends to utilize
Levin Energy Partners, LLC as PACE administrator (the "PACE Administrator") to administer its PACE
Program; and

County's website at http://www.oakgov.com/boc, and shall be available for viewing at the office of the

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that
1. The Board of Commissioners, being fully apprised of the PACE Program, finds that financing
energy projects is a valid public purpose because it reduces energy costs, reduces
greenhouse gas emissions, stimulates economic development, improves property values and
increases employment in the County.
2. The Board of Commissioners, by adoption of this Resolution, formally states its intention to
establish a PACE district having the same boundaries as the County's jurisdictional
boundaries and a PACE Program as described in and for the reasons set forth in this
resolution.
3. The Board of Commissioners formally states its intention to provide a property owner-based
method of financing and funds for energy projects, including from owner-arranged financing
from a commercial lender, which funds and financing shall be secured and repaid by
assessments on the property benefited, with the agreement of the record owners, such that no
County moneys, general County taxes or County credit of any kind whatsoever shall be
pledged, committed or used in connection with any project as required by and subject to Act
