Attachment "A"
PLOT LOCAL ROAD IMPROVEMENT MATCHING FUND PROGRAM
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Oakland County Government recognizes that Michigan law places the primary responsibility for road funding on
the State and non-county local units of government. However, the County also recognizes that the law does
permit a limited, discretionary role for the County in assisting a road commission and local units within a county
by supporting some road maintenance and improvement efforts.
Accordingly, for many years Oakland County has voluntarily provided limited assistance to its cities, villages and
townships (CVT's) and to the Road Commission of Oakland County (RCOC) by investing in a discretionary Tr-
Party Road Program. Authorized under Michigan law, the County's tri-party funding contributions primarily
facilitate safety improvement projects on CVT roads under the jurisdiction of the RCOC. By law, tri-party funds
cannot be used to fund projects on roads solely under the jurisdiction of CVT's,
Recognizing a continuing need to better maintain local CVT streets and roads, yet being ever mindful of the
County's limited responsibility for and jurisdiction over non-County roads and streets, Oakland County
Government wishes to pilot a discretionary program that is more flexible than the current Tr-Party Road Program,
one that will allow Oakland County to assist its cities and villages with maintenance and safety projects on non-
County roads.
Not being the funding responsibility of County government, local CVT roads generally cannot be maintained or
improved using County funds because doing so would be considered to be the "gifting" of County resources.
However laudable the purpose, Michigan law generally forbids the gifting of government resources. To avoid
application of the constitutionally-based gifting restriction, the state legislature must, and in this arena has,
determined that a public benefit results from a taxpayer investment, one that provides a quid pro quo sufficient
to avoid application of the gifting prohibition. Here, the legislature has determined that the economic development
benefit presumed to accrue to a county as a result of local street and road investments can provide a sufficient
quid pro quo to county taxpayers justifying a discretionary county investment in a non-county road, a benefit that
constitutes a fair exchange for value and not a gift.
This legislative determination is set forth in 1985 P.A. 9, which amended 1913 P.A. 380, by adding a new section
2, which in pertinent part provides:
"(1)...A county may grant or loan funds to a township, village or city located within that county for the
purpose of encouraging and assisting businesses to locate and expand within the county...
(2) A loan or grant made under subsection (1) may be used for local public improvements or to encourage
and assist businesses in locating or expanding in this state, to preserve jobs in this state, to encourage
investment in the communities in this state, or for other public purposes."
Communities that wish to attract, retain and grow business, retain jobs and encourage community investment,
needs a safely maintained road infrastructure. This road infrastructure must include both residential and
commercial roads as workers and consumers need to get to and from work, shopping, schools and recreation.
In a fiscally prudent and limited manner, the County wishes to help its cities and villages accomplish this objective
by test-piloting a new local road improvement matching fund program.
Any such program must be mindful of the limits imposed under Public Act 9. One important restriction Public Act
9 imposed on grants or loans made pursuant to Subsection 2 of the Act is the mandate that, "A grant or loan
under this Subsection shall not be derived from ad valorem taxes except for ad valorem taxes approved by a
vote of the people for economic development." This means that funding for an expanded local road assistance
program cannot utilize proceeds from any of Oakland County's ad valorem tax levies since no levy has been
approved by voters specifically for economic development.
Given this limitation, it appears that the state statutory revenue sharing appropriated to the County can provide
a non-ad valorem source of funds that legally can be used to support the pilot program. Competition for those
funds, which are limited in amount, is fierce and their yearly availability is subject to the state legislative process.
In the recent past, the State stripped all of those funds away from Michigan counties. Understanding that reality,
it shall be the policy of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners that the Board shall not appropriate any
County funds for a local road improvement matching fund program for non-County roads in any year where the
State of Michigan fails to appropriate statutory revenue sharing funds to Oakland County in an amount sufficient
to allow the County to first prudently address its core functions.
Act 9 imposes additional conditions on grants and loans, These include requirements that the loan or grant shall
be administered within an established application process for proposals; that any grant or loan shall be made at
a public hearing of the county board of commissioners and that the Board shall require a report to the county
board of commissioners regarding the activities of the recipient and a report as to the degree to which the
recipient has met the stated public purpose of the funding.
Understanding all of the above, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby establishes the following
Pilot Local Road Improvement Matching Fund Program:
PROGRAM SUMMARY
The Board of Commissioners establishes a Pilot Local Road Improvement Matching Fund Program for the
purposes of improving economic development in Oakland County cities and villages. The County intends this
Program to assist its municipalities by offering limited matching funds for specific, targeted road maintenance
and/or improvement projects on roadways under the jurisdiction of cities and villages.
A city or village participating in the Local Road Improvement Matching Fund Program shall match any fund
authorized by the Board of Commissioners in an amount equal to a minimum of 50% of the cost of the total
project award. County participation shall be limited to a maximum of 50% of the cost of the total project budget.
Funding shall be utilized to supplement and enhance local road maintenance and improvement programs.
Funding is not intended to replace existing budgeted local road programs or to replace funding already committed
to road improvements.
PROJECT GUIDELINES
Program funding shall be utilized solely for the purposes of road improvements to roads under the jurisdiction of
local cities and villages. Road improvements may include, but not be limited to, paving, resurfacing, lane
additions or lengthening, bridges, or drainage as such improvements relate to road safety, structure or relieving
congestion.
Program funding:
May be utilized to supplement a local government's matched funding for the purposes of receiving additional
federal transportation funding;
May not be utilized to fulfill a local government's responsibility to fund improvements to state
trunklines;
Shall be limited to real capital improvements to roadways and shall not be utilized for other purposes, such as
administrative expenses, personnel, consultants or other similar purposes;
Shall not be utilized for non-motorlzed improvements, unless these improvements are included in a project plan
for major improvements to a motorized roadway;
Shall be utilized for projects that will result in a measurable improvement in the development of the local economy
and contribute to business growth. Recipients shall be responsible for providing an outline of the economic
benefits of the project prior to approval and for reporting to the Board of Commissioners after the completion of
the project on the benefits achieved as a result of the projects.
ADMINISTRATION
Local Road Improvement Matching Fund Program projects may be appropriated by the Board of Commissioners
in compliance with the County budget process. The amount of funds to be dedicated for the Pilot Program shall
be determined by the Board of Commissioners on an annual basis. Program funding may be reduced or
eliminated based upon the ability of the County government to meet primary constitutional and statutory duties.
The Board of Commissioners expressly reserves the right to adjust the County matching funds share at any time
based upon County budget needs.
In accordance with MCL 123.872, funds dedicated to the Local Road Improvement Matching Fund Program shall
not be derived from ad valorem tax revenues. Program funding shall be limited to funds derived from the County's
distribution from the Michigan General Revenue Sharing Act. Reduction or elimination of the County's distribution
of revenue sharing funds may result in the elimination or suspension of the program.
Funding availability shall be distributed based upon a formula updated annually. The formula will consist of
1. A percentage derived from the number of certified local major street miles in each
city and village divided by aggregate total of certified local major street miles of all cities and villages in
the County.
2. A percentage derived from the population of each city and village as determined by
the last decennial census conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau divided by the
aggregate total population of cities and villages in the County.
3. A percentage derived from the three-year rolling total of the number of crashes on city and village major
local streets divided by the aggregate three-year rolling crash numbers for all city and village major local
streets or most recent data available. The crash data will be supplied by the Road Commission for
Oakland County using data from the Traffic Improvement Association.
Each city and villages percentage allocation shall be determined by adding each factor percentage and dividing
that total by three. The amount of funds available for match shall be determined by the total amount of funds
allocated by the Board of Commissioners added to an equal amount representing the match provided by local
cities and villages.
The Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Board of Commissioners shall establish a Subcommittee on the
Local Road Improvement Program. This Subcommittee shall consist of three members, with two members
representing the majority caucus and one member representing the minority caucus. It shall be the responsibility
of the Subcommittee to direct the administration of this program, receive applications for program funding and
make recommendations of acceptance to the Finance Committee and Board of Commissioners. The
Subcommittee may consult with County departments, staff and the Road Commission for Oakland County in the
conduct of its business.
DISBURSEMENT
The Subcommittee shall forward recommendations for approval of Local Road Improvement Matching Fund
Program projects to the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners. This recommendation shall include a cost
participation agreement between the County and participating municipality. Minimally, cost participation
agreements shall include: responsibility for administering the project, the project location, purpose, scope,
estimated costs including supporting detail, provisions ensuring compliance with project guidelines, as well as
disbursement eligibility requirements. The cost participation agreement shall also require the maintenance of
supporting documentation to ensure compliance with the following provisions:
1. Any and all supporting documentation for project expenditures reimbursed with appropriated funding shall
be maintained a minimum of seven years from the date of final reimbursement for actual expenditures
incurred.
2. The Oakland County Auditing Division reserves the right to audit any and all project expenditures
reimbursed through the program.
Upon receipt of recommendation of project approval from the Subcommittee, the County Commissioner or
Commissioners, representing the area included in the proposed project, may introduce a resolution authorizing
approval of the project and the release of funds. Resolutions shall be forwarded to the Finance Committee of the
Board of Commissioners, who shall review and issue a recommendation to the Board on the adoption of the
resolution. The Chairperson of the Finance Committee shall schedule a public hearing before the Board of
Commissioners prior to consideration of final approval of the resolution.
The deadline for projects to be submitted for consideration shall be established by the Subcommittee. The
Subcommittee may work with participating municipalities to develop a plan for projects that exceed that
municipality's annual allocation amount. This may include a limited plan to rollover that municipality's allocation
for a period of years until enough funding availability has accrued to complete the project, subject to funding
availability.
Upon completion of project plans and execution of the local participation agreement by the County and governing
authority of the local municipality, the participating municipality shall submit an invoice in accordance with the
terms and conditions included in the agreement. The Oakland County Department of Management and Budget
Fiscal Services Division shall process payments in accordance with policies and procedures as set forth by the
Department of Management and Budget and the Oakland County Treasurer.
In the event an eligible local unit of government chooses not to participate in the Local Road Improvement
Matching Fund Program, any previously undistributed allocated funding may be reallocated to all participating
local units of government at the discretion of the Subcommittee on the Local Road Improvement Program.
At the completion of each project, the participating local government shall provide a report to the Board of
Commissioners regarding the activities of the recipient and the degree to which the recipient has met the stated
public purpose of the funding as required by MCL 123.872.
LOCAL ROAD IMPROVEMENT SUBCOMMITTEE
FINANCE COMMITTEE, OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Provision regarding existing funded local road programs and projects. The standard project
agreement shall require participating municipalities to acknowledge that the Local Road
Improvement Program is meant to supplement and to not replace funding for existing road
programs or projects.
Fulfillment of economic benefit provisions of MCL 123.872. The Pilot Local Road Improvement
Program has been established by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners under the
authority granted by MCL 123.872, which provides that "A county may grant or loan funds to a
township, village or city located within that county for the purposes of encouraging and assisting
businesses to locate and expand within the county". It shall be the responsibility of the municipality
to outline the extent to which the project included in their application will meet these standards.
The Subcommittee shall only consider projects that meet the standards provided in MCL 123.872.
The standard project agreement shall include a provision requiring the participating municipality
to fulfill the statutory requirement included in MCL 123.872 that, "the grant or loan contract made
by county shall require a report to the county of board of commissioners regarding the activities
of the recipient and the degree to which the recipient has met the stated purpose of the funding,"
Multi-year projects. The Local Road Improvement Program has been expressly established as a
pilot program. There is no guarantee the program will be continued from year to year, The
Subcommittee recognizes that the allocation authorized for local governments may not provide
adequate funding in a single year to allow a project to move forward. Local governments shall be
offered the opportunity to submit project plans that would necessitate the accumulation of multiple
years of the community's allocation amount to fulfill the county's share of a project budget. A multi-
year project plan submittal shall not exceed two years in duration. The allocation amount available
to each community is subject to change annually based upon the factors utilized in the formula.
Consideration of multi-year project plans does not obligate Oakland County in any way to funding
any project or program in the future.
These plans are meant to be utilized for planning purposes and for consideration by the Oakland
County Board of Commissioners regarding authorizing a limited carryover of a community's
allocation year to year.
Completion of projects and submittal of post-project report. The standard cost participation
agreement shall include a provision requiring the municipality to complete the project and submit
the required post-project completion report prior to the end of the next calendar year following the
date of project approval. An alternative schedule may be approved for a project by action of the
Board of Commissioners, upon recommendation of the Subcommittee.

ECONOMIC IMPACT OF PROJECT
The Local Road Improvement Pilot Program has been established under MCL 123,872, the Gifts of Property Act, which
provides that "A county may grant or loan funds to a township, village, or city located within that county for the purpose
of encouraging and assisting businesses to locate arid expand within the county."
1DESCRIBE HOW THE PROJECT MEETS THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENT OF ENCOURAGING AND ASSISTING BUSINESS TO LOCATE AND
EXPAND IN THE COUNTY
This proposed pathway would be built directly in front of the Lakes Area Professional Building,
which includes a popular bait store, pet salon, spa, and resale store (picture attached). At the end
of the proposed pathway sits Dairy Twist, an ice cream shop that is generally open from March to
November and attracts many visitors. These businesses would benefit from walkability and
increased foot traffic, particularly via the connection to Clara Miller Park, Clara Miller Park includes
playgrounds, 3 baseball/softball diamonds, walking paths, a pavilion, and other recreational
features. This pathway would allow Clara Miller Park visitors to safely walk the short distance from
the park to the ice cream shop, bait store, and other business along the pathway. Residents living
in the Wolverine Acres subdivision would also be able to access these businesses by foot via the
proposed pathway.
A pathway connecting Clara Miller Park to the Glengary/Benstein intersection is a desired
improvement in the Village of Wolverine Lake. Residents regularly request a pathway in this
location and this improvement would help to accomplish goals outlined in the Village of Wolverine
Lake Recreation Master Plan. That plan calls for expanded pedestrian access throughout the
Village to allow safe and convenient access by foot or bike.
OPTIONAL MULTI-YEAR PROJECT PLAN
The Local Road Improvement Program has been expressly established as a pilot program, There is no guarantee the
program will be continued from year to year. The Local Road Improvement Program Subcommittee recognizes that the
allocation authorized for local governments may not provide adequate funding in a single year to allow a project to
move forward, Local governments shall be offered the opportunity to submit project plans that would necessitate the
accumulation of multiple years of the community's allocation amount to fulfill the County's share of a project budget. A
multi-year project plan submittal shall not exceed two years in duration, The allocation amount available to each
community is subject to change annually based upon the factors utilized in the distribution formula, Consideration of
multi-year project plans does not obligate Oakland County in any way to fund any project or program in the future,
These plans are meant to be utilized for planning purposes and for consideration by the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners to authorize a limited carryover of a community's allocation year to year.
DESCRIPTION OF MULTI-YEAR PLAN INCLUDING ESTIMATED PROJECT BUDGET AND CARRYOVER PERIOD OF COMMUNITY'S
ALLOCATION
The Village understands that our available share will not cover the cost of this proposed project.
We would use the funds to help cover a portion of the cost.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
