OAKLAND COUNTY
WATER RESOURCES COMMISSIONER MEMORANDUM
TO: Commissioner Philip J. Weipert, Chairperson
Planning and Building Committee, Board of Commissioners
FROM: Kelsey Cooke, WRC Senior Attorney
SUBJECT: Village of Bingham Farms; lnterjurisdictional Property Insurance Agreement
DATE; August 28, 2018
Working with Oakland County Risk Management and Corporation Counsel, the Water Resources
Commissioner conducted a review of property insurance coverage for water and sewer systems that
the WRC operates and maintains by contract with certain communities. One of the services that the
VVRC provides to the communities is facilitation of payment of property insurance premiums from
enterprise funds managed by Oakland County's Fiscal Services for the benefit of the communities
served by the WRC. These property insurance premiums are paid pursuant to an Oakland County
property insurance coverage policy administered through Risk Management. Given the large number
of assets included in the program, the county is able to obtain property insurance coverage at a lower
cost for these communities' water and sewer system assets than the community would be able to
obtain on their own.
The Village of Bingham Farms, whose water and sewer systems are operated by the VVRC, desires to
have the county continue to obtain property insurance coverage for its sewer system pump station
located at 29055 Brooks Lane. The Village will pay the related premium from its enterprise fund held
by the county. In order to continue this coverage, on July 11, 2018, Bingham Farms signed an
interjurisdictional property insurance agreement specifying that it will be responsible for all costs of
insurance while consenting to the county obtaining this coverage. Any premium, self-insured retention
or deductible will be charged as a system cost to Bingham Farms' enterprise fund held by the county
on behalf of the Village.
Requested Committee Action: Recommend adoption of the attached Resolution to the Board of
Commissioners.
