OAKLAND COUNTY
WATER RESOURCES COMMISSIONER MEMORANDUM
TO: Philip J. Weipert, Chairperson, Planning and Building Committee
FROM: Sidney Lockhart, RE., Water Resources Commissioner Special Projects Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing the County Pledge its Full Faith and Credit for Bonds
Associated with the Dan Devine Drain
DATE: February 7, 2017
Enclosed is a resolution requesting that the Board pledges the full faith and credit of Oakland County
for the payment of principal and interest on the Dan Devine Drain Bonds in the amount of $1,975,000.
In order to resolve flooding problems, the Charter Township of Bloomfield submitted a petition to the
Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner's office to construct a county drain in the area
shown on the attached map.
The Dan Devine Drain incorporates an existing agricultural drain and another water course flowing
through the Eastways Farm, Foxhall, and North Bloomfield Hills Subdivisions. The project is
necessary to reduce flooding on adjacent properties and includes clean-out, stream-bank
stabilization, clearing, and repair of selected reinforced concrete pipes at Severn Lane and
Downderry Court. Site restoration and dredging the detention pond at the drain's terminus at the
Township's southern border also will be included in the project.
The Dan Devine Drain was established pursuant to Chapter 20 of Act 40 of the Public Acts of 1956,
as amended, MCL 280.461 et seq. to protect and promote the public health. The cost of construction,
operation and maintenance of the Dan Devine Drain was apportioned on April 28, 2015 by the
Drainage Board for the Dan Devine Drain Drainage District as follows:
15.236% County of Oakland
11.471% State of Michigan
73.293% Charter Township of Bloomfield.
Bids were received on December 16, 2016. The project is anticipated to be awarded to the low
bidder, Inland Lakes Landscaping Corp. from Pontiac, Michigan.
State law requires a 2/3 majority vote by the Board of Commissioners for adoption of the proposed
resolution.
It is our intention to have this matter on the Finance Committee's March 9, 2017 agenda and
on the Board of Commissioners' March 15, 2017 agenda.
