WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, pursuant to Act No. 342, Public Acts of Michigan, 1939, as amended
(hereinafter sometimes referred to as "Act 342"), the Board of Commissioners of the County, by
majority vote of its members-elect, has authorized and directed that there be established a county
system of sewage disposal improvements and services to serve the Village, said system to be
known as the "Wolverine Lake Sewage Disposal System" (hereinafter sometimes referred to as

for the System with all powers and duties with respect thereto as are provided by Act 342 (said
Drain Commissioner being hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "County Agency"); and
WHEREAS, under and subject to the terms of Act 342, the County is authorized, through
the County Agency, to acquire and construct the sewage disposal facilities hereinafter described
as constituting the System (the "Project"), the County and the Village are authorized to enter into
a contract, as hereinafter provided, for the acquisition and construction of the Project by the

Board of Commissioners, to pledge its full faith and credit for the payment of such bonds and the
interest thereon; and
WHEREAS, there is an urgent need of such sewage disposal facilities to provide sewage
disposal services to the Village in order to promote the health and welfare of the residents thereof,
which facilities would likewise benefit the County and its residents, and the parties hereto have
concluded that such facilities can be provided and financed most economically and efficiently by
the County through the exercise of the powers conferred by Act 342, and especially Sections 5a,
5b and 5c thereof; and
WHEREAS, the consulting engineers have prepared preliminary plans for the Project and
estimates of the cost and period of usefulness thereof, all of which have been submitted to and
approved by the Board of Commissioners of the County and the Village Council and placed on file
with said Board of Commissioners in the office of the County Agency, said estimates being set
forth in Exhibit B hereunto attached; and
-3-
WHEREAS, it is proposed that the cost of the Project be financed by the issuance of
County bonds; and
WHEREAS, in order to provide for the acquisition and construction of the Project by the
County and the financing of the cost thereof by the issuance of County bonds, and for other related
matters, it is necessary for the parties hereto to enter into this contract.
THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE PREMISES AND THE COVENANTS
OF EACH OTHER, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE as follows:
The parties hereto approve and agree to the acquisition, construction and financing of the
Project as part of the System, as herein provided, under and pursuant to Act 342. The Village by
way of compliance with Section 29, Article VII, Michigan Constitution of 1963, consents and
agrees to the establishment and location of the System within its corporate boundaries and to the
use by the County of its streets, highways, alleys, lands, rights-of-way or other public places for
the purpose and facilities of the System and any improvements, enlargements or extensions
thereof, and the Village further agrees that, in order to evidence and effectuate the foregoing
agreement and consent, it will execute and deliver to the County such grants of easement, right-of-
way, license, permit or consent as may be requested by the County.
2. The Project shall consist of the sewage disposal facilities as described and specified
on Exhibit A, which is hereunto attached and is made a part hereof, and as are more particularly
set forth in the preliminary plans that have been prepared and submitted by the consulting
engineers, which plans are on file with the County Agency and are approved and adopted. The
Project shall be acquired and constructed substantially in accordance with said preliminary plans
and in accordance with final plans and specifications to be prepared and submitted by the
consulting engineers, but variations therefrom that do not materially change the location, capacity
or overall design of the Project, and that do not require an increase in the total estimated cost of
the Project, may be permitted on the authority of the County Agency. Other variations or changes
may be made if approved by the County Agency and by resolution of the Village Council and if
provisions required by Paragraph 5 hereof are made for payment or financing of any resulting
increase in the total estimated cost. The estimate of the cost of the Project and the estimate of the
period of usefulness thereof as set forth in Exhibit B are approved and adopted.
3. The County Agency shall take or cause to be taken all actions required or
necessary, in accordance with Act 342, to procure the issuance and sale of bonds by the County,
in one or more series, in whatever aggregate principal amount is necessary to finance all or part
of the cost of the Project. Such bonds shall be issued in anticipation of, and be payable primarily
from, the payments to be made by the Village to the County as provided in this contract, and shall
be secured secondarily, if so voted by the Board of Commissioners of the County, by a pledge of
the full faith and credit of the County, and the said bonds shall be payable in annual maturities the
last of which shall be not more than forty years from the date thereof.
4. The County Agency shall proceed to take construction bids for the Project and,
subject to the sale and delivery of bonds, enter into construction contracts with the lowest
responsible bidder or bidders, procure from the contractors all necessary and proper bonds, cause
the Project to be constructed within a reasonable time, and do all other things required by this
contract and the laws of the State of Michigan. All certificates for required payments to
contractors shall be approved by the consulting engineers before presentation to the County
Agency and the latter shall be entitled to rely on such approval in making payments.
5. In the event that it shall become necessary to increase the estimated cost of the
Project as hereinbefore stated, or if the actual cost of the Project shall exceed the estimated cost,
whether as the result of variations or changes permitted to be made in the approved plans or
otherwise, then (without execution of any further contract or amendment of this contract) the
Village, by resolution of its Village Council adopted within fifteen days after the receipt of
construction bids, may direct that a portion of the Project not yet acquired or constructed and not
under contract to be acquired or constructed be deleted sufficient to reduce the total cost to an
amount that shall not exceed the total estimated cost as here inbefore stated by more than 5%,
provided that such deletion shall not materially change the general scope, overall design, and
purpose of the Project, or in the absence of the adoption of such resolutions the Village shall pay
or procure the payment of the increase or excess in cash, or County bonds in an increased or
additional amount (upon adoption of an authorizing resolution therefor by the Board of
Commissioners) shall be issued to defray such increased or excess cost, to the extent that funds
therefor are not available from other sources; provided, however, that no such increase or excess
shall be approved and no such increased or additional County bonds shall be authorized to be
issued, nor shall the County enter into any contract for acquisition or construction of the Project
or any part thereof or incur any obligation for or pay any item of cost therefor, where the effect
thereof would be to cause the total cost of the Project to exceed by more than 5% its total
estimated cost as hereinbefore stated, unless the Village Council previously shall have adopted
resolutions approving such increase or excess and agreeing that the same (or such part thereof as
is not available from other sources) shall be paid or its payment procured by the Village in cash
or be defrayed by the issuance of increased or additional County bonds in anticipation of increased
or additional payments agreed to be made by the Village to the County in the manner hereinbefore
provided; provided, further, that the adoption of such resolutions by the Village Council shall not
be required prior to or as a condition precedent to the issuance of additional bonds by the County,
if the County previously has issued or contracted to sell bonds to pay all or part of the cost of the
Project and the issuance of the additional bonds is necessary (as determined by the County) to pay
such increased, additional or excess costs as are essential to completion of the Project according
to the plans as last aPproved prior to the time when the previous bonds were issued or contracted
to be sold.
6. The Village shall pay to the County the entire cost of the Project not defrayed by
grants and funds available from other sources. The cost to be paid by the Village shall include,
in addition to the items of the nature set forth in Exhibit B (represented by the principal amount
of the bonds to be issued by the County), all interest payable by the County on said bonds and all
paying agent fees and other expenses and charges (including the County Agency's administrative
expenses) that are payable on account of said bonds (such fees, expenses and charges being herein
-5-
called "bond service charges"). Such payments shall be made to the County in semiannual
installments, which shall be due and payable at least thirty days prior to each interest payment date
specified in the County bonds. Such semiannual installments shall commence on the date that
interest (other than capitalized interest) or principal first becomes payable on the bonds, and the
aggregate amount of the installments shall be at least sufficient to pay, when due, all principal and
interest on the bonds and all bond service charges payable on account of the bonds. The County
Agency, within thirty days after delivery of the County bonds to the purchaser, shall furnish the
treasurer the Village with a complete schedule of the principal of and interest on the bonds, and
the County Agency also, at least thirty days before each payment is due, shall advise the treasurer
of the Village of the amount payable to the County on such date. If the Village fails to make any
payment to the County when due, the same shall be subject to a penalty of 1% thereof for each
month or fraction thereof that such amount remains unpaid after due. Failure of the County
Agency to furnish the schedule or give the notice as above required shall not excuse the Village
from the obligation to make payments when due. The foregoing obligations shall apply to all
bonds issued by the County to defray the cost of the Project. Payments shall be made by the
Village when due whether or not the Project has then been completed or placed in operation.
7. The Village may pay in advance of maturity all or any part of an installment due
the County on the bonds by surrendering to the County bonds issued hereunder of a like principal
amount maturing in the same calendar year or by paying to the County in cash the principal
amount of any County bonds that are subject to redemption prior to maturity, plus all interest
thereon to the first date upon which such bonds may be called for redemption, and plus all
applicable call premiums and bond service charges, and in such event the County Agency shall call
said bonds for redemption at the earliest possible date. The installments or parts thereof so
prepaid shall be deemed to be the installments or parts thereof falling due in the same calendar
year as the maturity dates of the bonds surrendered or called for redemption.
8. The proceeds of sale of the bonds shall be used solely and only to pay the cost of
the Project, and after completion thereof and payment of all costs in connection therewith, any
surplus remaining from the sale of the bonds shall be (I) used to purchase the bonds on the open
market or (ii) retained by the County Agency as a reserve for payment of the bond principal and
interest maturities next falling due, and in such event the contract obligations of the Village in
respect to such bonds or such maturities shall be reduced by the principal amount of bonds so
purchased or of said reserve, said reduction in case of the purchase of bonds to be applied as to
year in accordance with the year of the maturity of the bonds so purchased. Any bonds so
purchased shall be canceled. In the alternative, such surplus may be used, on request of the
Village and approval' by the Board of Commissioners of the County, to extend, enlarge or improve
the System or to acquire and construct additional sewage disposal facilities to serve the Village.
9. The Village, pursuant to the authorization of Section 5a of Act 342, hereby pledges
its full faith and credit for the prompt and timely payment of its obligations expressed in this
contract and, subject to applicable constitutional tax limitations, each year shall levy a tax on the
taxable property in the Village in an amount that, taking into consideration estimated delinquencies
in tax collections, will be sufficient to pay its obligations under this contract becoming due before
the time of the following year's tax collections; provided, however, that if at the time of making
-6-
its annual tax levy, the Village shall have on hand in cash other funds that have been set aside and
pledged or are otherwise available for the payment of such contractual obligations falling due prior
to the time of the next tax collection, then the annual tax levy may be reduced by such amount.
The Village Council each year, at least 90 days prior to the final date provided by law or charter
for the making of the annual tax levy, shall submit to the County Agency a written statement
setting forth the amount of its obligations to the County that become due and payable under this
contract prior to the time of the next following year's tax collections, the amount of the funds that
the Village has or will have on hand or to its credit in the hands of the County that have been set
aside and pledged for payment of said obligations to the County and the amount of the taxes next
proposed to be levied for the purpose of raising money to meet such obligations. The County
Agency promptly shall review such statement and, if he finds that the proposed tax levy is
insufficient, he shall so notify the Village Council. The Village hereby covenants and agrees that
it will thereupon increase its levy to such extent as may be required by the County Agency.
10. In the event that the Village shall fail for any reason to pay to the County Agency
at the times herein specified, the amounts herein required to be paid, the state treasurer or other
official charged with the disbursement of unrestricted state funds returnable to the Village pursuant
to the Michigan constitution is authorized hereby to withhold sufficient funds to make up any
default or deficiency in funds. In the event the County is required to advance any money by
reason of its pledge of full faith and credit on the bonds to be issued to finance the acquisition and
construction of the Project on account of the delinquency of the Village, the County Treasurer
shall notify the state treasurer to deduct the amount of money so advanced by the County from any
unrestricted moneys in the state treasurer's possession belonging to the Village and to pay such
amount to the County. In addition to the foregoing, the County shall have all other rights and
remedies provided by law to enforce the obligations of the Village to make payments in the
manner and at the times required by this contract. It is specifically recognized by the Village that
the payments required to be made by them pursuant to the terms of this contract are to be pledged
for the payment of the principal of and interest on bonds to be issued by the County, and the
Village covenants and agrees that it will make its required payments to the County promptly and
at the times herein specified, without regard as to whether the Project herein contemplated is
actually completed or placed in operation; provided, only, that nothing herein contained shall limit
the obligation of the County to perform in accordance with the covenants contained herein.
11. No change in the jurisdiction over any territory in the Village shall impair in any
manner the obligations of this contract or affect the obligations of the Village hereunder. In the
event that all or any part of the territory of the Village is incorporated as a new city or village or
is annexed to or becomes a part of the territory of another municipality, the municipality into
which such territory is incorporated or to which such territory is annexed shall assume the proper
proportionate share of the contractual obligations (including the pledge of full faith and credit) of
the Village, which proper proportionate share shall be fixed and determined by the County Agency
and shall be binding upon all parties concerned unless, within sixty (60) days after such
incorporation or annexation becomes effective, the municipality into which such territory is
incorporated or to which such territory is annexed and the Village shall by mutual agreement and
with the written approval of the County Agency fix and determine such proper proportionate
share. The County Agency, prior to making such determination, shall receive a written
-7-
recommendation as to the proper proportionate share from a committee composed of one
representative designated by the Village Council, one designated by the governing body of the new
municipality or the municipality annexing such territory and one independent registered engineer
appointed by the County Agency. Each governmental unit shall appoint its representative within
fifteen (15) days after being notified to do so by the County Agency and within a like time the
County Agency shall appoint the engineer third member. If any such representative (other than
the appointee of the County Agency) is not appointed within the time above provided, then the
County Agency may proceed without said recommendation. If the committee shall not make the
recommendation within forty-five (45) days after its appointment or within any extension thereof
by the County Agency, then the County Agency may proceed without such recommendation.
12. The County may advance funds, if approved by resolution adopted by a 2/3 vote
of the members-elect of its Board of Commissioners (as required by Section 8 of Act 342) for
administrative expenses, including engineering, legal and consulting expenses, incurred by the
County Agency in the performance of its duties and powers authorized by Act 342 and for
purposes of obtaining maps, plans, designs, specifications, cost estimates, rights-of-way and
permits for the Project. In such event, and to avoid paying interest on the advance, the Village
shall, not later than two years after the date of adoption of the resolution of the County Board of
Commissioners approving such advance, reimburse the County for the amount of any such
advance; provided, however, that (I) the County Board of Commissioners may extend the due date
of such reimbursement by resolution adopted by a 2/3 vote of its members-elect and (ii) the
obligations of the Village shall be reduced to the extent that County bonds are issued and the
proceeds thereof are used to reimburse the County for such advances. The obligations of the
Village to pay the amounts set forth in this paragraph are full faith and credit obligations as
described in paragraph 9 hereof. The County shall have all rights and remedies provided by this
contract and Act 342 and otherwise pursuant to law to enforce the obligations of the Village
described in this paragraph. In the event that no such County bonds are issued within three years
of the date of this contract, unless the three-year period is extended by mutual agreement of the
parties hereto, the Project shall be abandoned and the Village shall pay, or reimburse the County
for the payment of, all engineering, legal, consulting and other costs and expenses theretofore
incurred, including any interest due the County for any advance of funds, and shall be entitled to
all plans, specifications and other engineering data and materials relating to the Project.
13. In the event that the Village fails to reimburse the County for an advance made
pursuant to paragraph 12 hereof when due, the Village shall pay to the County interest on such
unreimbursed amount from the date of adoption of the resolution of the County Board of
Commissioners approving such advance to the date of repayment at the interest rate prevailing on
six-month United States Treasury Bills on the date of adoption of the resolution of the County
Board of Commissioners approving the advance, to be compounded quarterly.
14. After completion of the Project the operation and maintenance of the System shall
be in accordance with applicable agreements between the County and the Village.
15. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the System is to serve the
Village and not the individual property owners and users thereof, unless by special arrangement
between the County Agency and the Village. The responsibility of requiring connection to and
-8-
use of the System and/or providing such additional facilities as may be needed shall be that of the
Village, which shall cause to be constructed and maintained, directly or through the County, any
such necessary additional facilities. The County shall not be obligated to acquire or construct any
facilities other than those designated in paragraph 2 hereof.
16. The County shall have no obligation or responsibility for providing facilities except
as herein expressly provided with respect to the acquisition and construction of the Project or as
otherwise provided by contract. The Village shall have the authority and the responsibility to
provide such other facilities and shall have the right to expand the facilities of the System by
constructing or extending sewers or related facilities, connecting the same to the System, and
otherwise improving the System. It is expressly agreed, nevertheless, that no such connection
shall be made to the System and no improvements, enlargements or extensions thereof shall be
made without first securing a permit therefor from the County. Any such permit may be made
conditional upon inspection and approval of new construction by the County. It is further agreed
that the System shall be used for collection and conveyance of sanitary sewage only and that the
Village shall take all necessary action to prevent entry into the System of storm waters and also
to prevent entry of sewage or wastes of such a character as to be injurious to the System or to the
public health and safety.
17. All powers, duties and functions vested by this contract in the County shall be
exercised and performed by the County Agency, for and on behalf of the County, unless otherwise
provided by law or in this contract.
18. The parties hereto recognize that the holders from time to time of the bonds to be
issued by the County under the provisions of Act 342, and secured by the full faith and credit
pledge of the Village to the payment of the principal of and interest on the bonds as set forth in
this contract, will have contractual rights in this contract, and it is therefore covenanted and agreed
that so long as any of said bonds shall remain outstanding and unpaid, the provisions of this
contract shall not be subject to any alteration or revision that would affect adversely either the
security of the bonds or the prompt payment of principal or interest thereon. The right to make
changes in this contract, by amendment, supplemental contract or otherwise is nevertheless
reserved insofar as the same do not have such adverse effect. The parties hereto further covenant
and agree that they each will comply with their respective duties and obligations under the terms
of this contract promptly, at the times and in the manner herein set forth, and will not suffer to be
done any act that would impair in any way the contract of said bonds, the security therefor or the
prompt payment of principal and interest thereon. It is declared hereby that the terms of this
contract and of any amendatory or supplemental contract and any contract entered into pursuant
hereto, insofar as they pertain to said bonds or to the payment of the security thereof, shall be
deemed to be for the benefit of the holders of said bonds.
19. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this contract for any reason
shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, but this contract shall be construed
as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

Executed on , 1998 And:
20. This contract shall become effective upon its execution by the County Agency on
the date set forth in the first paragraph hereof (which execution shall not occur prior to the
execution by the authorized officials of the Village) and its approval by the vote of a majority of
the electors of the Village qualified to vote and voting thereon at a general or special election. This
contract shall terminate forty (40) years from the date hereof or on such earlier date as shall be
mutually agreed; provided, however, that it shall not be terminated at any time prior to the
payment in full of the principal of and interest on the County bonds together with all bond service
charges pertaining to said bonds. This contract may be executed in several counterparts. The
provisions of this contract shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and
assigns of the parties hereto. Nothing herein contained, however, shall require the County to
acquire and construct the Project if it is unable to sell bonds to finance the same.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this contract to be executed and
delivered by the undersigned, being duly authorized by the respective Village Council of such
parties.

OAKLAND COUNTY DRAIN COMMISSIONER
MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 6, 1998
TO: Mr. Charles E. Palmer, Chairperson
Planning & Building Committee
FROM: Glen Yrjanainen, P.E./P.S., Chief Deputy Drain Commissioner
SUBJECT: Drain Commissioner Resolution to Authorize Wolverine Lake Sewage
Disposal System Contract and Advancement of Funds
Please be advised that on Tuesday, May 5, 1998, the voters of the Village of Wolverine
Lake overwhelmingly defeated a ballot proposal to proceed with the establishment of a
Sewage Disposal System to service the Village (see the attached Oakland Press article).
Therefore, it is appropriate at this time to withdraw our resolution concerning this matter
for consideration at the upcoming May 7, 1998 meeting of the Board of Commissioners.
We had proceeded with the resolution to this point on the basis of the optimism expressed
to us by the Village of Wolverine officials that the ballot question would be successful.
Thank you for the continued assistance and support of your Committee.
