1. AUTHORIZATION OF BONDS — PURPOSE. Bonds of the County aggregating the principal sum
of not to exceed Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) shall be issued and sold in one or more
series for the purpose of defraying all or part of the cost of the Projects.
2. BOND DETAILS. Each series of bonds shall be designated "Evergreen and Farmington Sewage
Disposal System Capital Improvement Bonds, Series _____"(with the year of delivery of the
bonds and a letter designated by the County Water Resources Commissioner, acting as County
Agency for the County (the "County Agency"), to be inserted in the blank for each series of
bonds); shall be dated as of the date approved by the "County Agency; shall be issued in such
aggregate principal amount as determined by the County Agency; shall be numbered from 1

amount of such maturity, shall be issued in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The
Depository Trust Company ("DTC") for the benefit of other parties (the "Participants") in the book-
entry-only transfer system of DTC. In the event the County determines that it is in the best
interest of the County not to continue the book-entry system of transfer or that the interests of the
holders of the bonds might be adversely affected if the book-entry system of transfer is continued,
the County may notify DTC and the bond registrar and paying agent, whereupon DTC will notify
the Participants of the availability through DTC of bond certificates. In such event, the bond
registrar and paying agent shall deliver, transfer and exchange bond certificates as requested by
DTC and any Participant or "beneficial owner" in appropriate amounts in accordance with this
Resolution. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the bonds at
any time by giving notice to the County and the bond registrar and paying agent and discharging
its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law or the County may determine that
DTC is incapable of discharging its duties and may so advise DTC. In either such event, the
County shall use reasonable efforts to locate another securities depository. Under such
circumstances (if there is no successor securities depository), the County and the bond registrar
and paying agent shall be obligated to deliver bond certificates in accordance with the procedures
established by this Resolution. In the event bond certificates are issued, the provisions of this
Resolution shall apply to, among other things, the transfer and exchange of such certificates and
the method of payment of principal of and interest on such certificates. Whenever DTC requests
the County and the bond registrar and paying agent to do so, the County and the bond registrar
and paying agent shall cooperate with DTC in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice to
make available one or more separate certificates evidencing the bonds to any Participant having
bonds certified to its DTC account or to arrange for another securities depository to maintain
custody of certificates evidencing the bonds.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution to the contrary, so long as any bond is
registered in the name of Cede & Co,, as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to the
principal of, interest on and redemption premium, if any, on such bonds and all notices with
respect to the bonds shall be made and given, respectively, to DTC as provided in the Blanket
Issuer Letter of Representations relating to the bonds. The County Treasurer and the County
Agency are each authorized to sign the Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations on behalf of the
County, in such form as such officer deems necessary or appropriate in order to accomplish the
issuance of the bonds in accordance with law and this Resolution.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this section to the contrary, if the County Agency deems it
to be in the best interest of the County, the bonds shall not initially be issued through the book-
entry-only transfer system of DTC.
5, PRIOR REDEMPTION. The bonds may be subject to optional and/or mandatory redemption
prior to maturity upon such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the County Agency,
6. BOND REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT. The County Treasurer shall designate, and may
enter into an agreement with, a bond registrar and paying agent for the bonds which shall be a
bank or trust company located in the State of Michigan which is qualified to act in such capacity
under the laws of the United States of America or the State of Michigan. The County Treasurer
from time to time as required may designate a similarly qualified successor bond registrar and
paying agent. Notwithstanding any provision of this section to the contrary, if the County Agency

thereof) shall be impressed or imprinted on the bonds. After the bonds have been executed and
authenticated for delivery to the original purchaser thereof, they shall be delivered by the County
Treasurer to the purchaser upon receipt of the purchase price. Additional bonds bearing the

facsimile signatures of the Chairperson of the Board of Commissioners and the County Clerk and
upon which the seal of the County (or a facsimile thereof) is impressed or imprinted may be
delivered to the bond registrar and paying agent for authentication and delivery in connection with
the exchange or transfer of bonds. The bond registrar and paying agent shall indicate on each
bond the date of its authentication,
8. EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF BONDS. Any bond, upon surrender thereof to the bond
registrar and paying agent with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the bond registrar
and paying agent duly executed by the registered owner or his duly authorized attorney, at the
option of the registered owner thereof, may be exchanged for bonds of any other authorized
denominations of the same aggregate principal amount and maturity date and bearing the same
rate of interest as the surrendered bond.
Each bond shall be transferable only upon the books of the County, which shall be kept for that
purpose by the bond registrar and paying agent, upon surrender of such bond together with a
written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the bond registrar and paying agent duly executed by
the registered owner or his duly authorized attorney.
Upon the exchange or transfer of any bond, the bond registrar and paying agent on behalf of the
County shall cancel the surrendered bond and shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee a
new bond or bonds of any authorized denomination of the same aggregate principal amount and
maturity date and bearing the same rate of interest as the surrendered bond. If, at the time the
bond registrar and paying agent authenticates and delivers a new bond pursuant to this section,
payment of interest on the bonds is in default, the bond registrar and paying agent shall endorse
upon the new bond the following: "Payment of interest on this bond is in default. The last date to
which interest has been paid is [appropriate date to be inserted]."
The County and the bond registrar and paying agent may deem and treat the person in whose
name any bond shall be registered upon the books of the County as the absolute owner of such
bond, whether such bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of the
principal of and interest on such bond and for all other purposes, and all payments made to any
such registered owner, or upon his order, in accordance with the provisions of section 3 of this
Resolution shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such bond to the
extent of the sum or sums so paid, and neither the County nor the bond registrar and paying
agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The County agrees to indemnify and save
the bond registrar and paying agent harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, charge,
expense, judgment or liability incurred by it, acting in good faith and without negligence
hereunder, in so treating such registered owner.
For every exchange or transfer of bonds, the County or the bond registrar and paying agent may
make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to
be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer, which sum or sums shall be paid by the person
requesting such exchange or transfer as a condition precedent to the exercise of the privilege of
making such exchange or transfer.
The bond registrar and paying agent shall not be required to transfer or exchange bonds or
portions of bonds which have been selected for redemption.

OAKLAND COUNTY
WATER RESOURCES COMMISSIONER MEMORANDUM
TO: Philip J. Weipert, Chairperson
Planning and Building Committee
FROM: Sid Lockhart, RE., Deputy & Special Projects Manager
SUBJECT: Bond Issue for Evergreen-Farmington Sewage Disposal System Improvements
DATE: April 10, 2018
On May 25, 2017, the Board of Commissioners of the County of Oakland adopted Resolution Number
17107 that determined the necessity to acquire, construct, and install sewage disposal system
facilities to maintain the capacity and performance of the Evergreen-Farmington Sewage Disposal
System through a series of projects to serve users of the System through the issuance of bonds.
The cost of the projects are estimated to be $15 million and the Board has determined the County's
intent issue bonds and to use the proceeds of the sale to finance all or part of the cost of the projects
and to reimburse incurred expenses.
The bonds will be repaid through sewer rates of communities that comprise the Evergreen-
Farmington Sewage Disposal System. There are 15 communities in the Evergreen-Farmington
Sewage Disposal System. They include: Auburn Hills, Beverly Hills, Bingham Farms, Birmingham,
Bloomfield Hills, Bloomfield Township, Farmington, Farmington Hills, Franklin, Keego Harbor, Lathrup
Village, Orchard Lake, Southfield, Troy and West Bloomfield.
The bonds will be issued and sold in denominations of $5,000 for each maturity date at the option, to
be determined, by the designated County Agency, the Oakland County Water Resources
Commissioner, in one or more series to defray the cost of the projects. The County Agency will
determine the dates each serial bond will mature provided that the final maturity shall not be later
than 20 years after its date of issuance.
Some of the projects that will be addressed include repairs and rehabilitation to the collapsed sewer
in the City of Southfield, improvements to both the Amy Pump Station in Bloomfield Hills and the
Eight-Mile Pump Station in Southfield. These and other improvements, including pipe rehabilitation
and replacement projects, will increase the reliability of the system as well as extend the useful life of
the assets.
For the adoption of this resolution, it is our intention to have this on the agenda for approval at the
April 26, 2018 Finance Committee meeting and for the full Board approval at its May 2, 2018 meeting.
I offer the accompanying resolution and respectfully request its adoption.
