RE: Environmental Infrastructure Fund Reimbursement Program
Dear Mr. Ott:
Pursuant to the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Miscellaneous Resolution
(MR) 99093, the Charter Township of Waterford (Township) hereby requests
reimbursement under the Oakland County Environmental Infrastructure Fund Program
for expenses incurred in connection with eligible remediation or improvement projects
undertaken by our Township.
Per the program outline, it is our understanding the Township is eligible to receive
approximately $262,894 per year from 1999 to 2003. Accordingly, total funds available
through 2002 should be approximately $1,051,576.
Projects currently being undertaken by the Township that have already received partial
reimbursement of funds and that you already have Official Board Resolution Meeting
Minutes for are as follows:
1. McDowell Drive Sanitary Sewer Extension. This project will extend
sanitary sewer along McDowell Drive from McCormick Drive to
approximately 750 feet south and provide service for six (6) existing
residences located on McDowell Drive. McDowell Drive extends along a
peninsula surrounded by Scott Lake and its' adjacent wetland. The
existing residences are served by septic systems that are subject to
submergence by fluctuations in the elevation of Scott Lake. The As Bid
cost for this project is $120,470 and does not include engineering and
inspection costs which will be added to the fmal cost.
2. Lochaven Road Sanitary Sewer Extension. This project will provide
sanitary sewer for three (3) existing residences located on Lochaven Road
south of Cooley Lake Road. The existing septic systems currently serving
these residences are located in wetlands and one of these systems has
already failed. The project is being included with an existing sanitary
sewer project on Lochaven Road north of Cooley Lake Road and has been
contracted to cost $50,000 by the existing Contractor, Mago, Incorporated.
This does not include engineering and inspection costs which will be
added to the final cost.
3. Williams Lake Road Sanitary Sewer Extension. This project will provide
sanitary sewer service for five (5) existing commercial properties located
along Williams Lake Road between Pontiac Lake Road and M-59. These
properties are partially in wetlands that are hydraulically connected to
Pontiac Lake. The commercial businesses located on these properties are
currently served by septic systems that are subject to submergence by
changes in the water level of the wetland. The estimated construction cost
cost of this project is $178,900 and does not include engineering and
inspection costs which will be added to the final cost.
4. Lochaven Road Water Main Extension. This project will provide
Water main for three (3) existing residences located on Lochaven Road
south of Cooley Lake Road. The existing private wells currently serving
these residences are failing and need to be replaced. The project is being
included with an existing sanitary sewer project on Lochaven Road north
of Cooley Lake Road and has been contracted to cost $41,000 by the
existing Contractor, Mago, Incorporated. This does not include
engineering and inspection costs which will be added to the final cost.
5. Lakewood Lift Station Modifications. This project will replace the
existing 953 feet 4-inch force main exiting the station with a 6-inch force
main and replace the smaller original pump with a comparable sized
Vaughn Chopper pump to better match the existing new larger pump in
the station. The result of these improvements would be to increase the
firm pumping capacity of the station from approximately 136 gallons per
minute (GPM) to 260 GPM as a result of less friction losses in the new 6
inch force main.
It also proposes raising and waterproofing fourteen (14) manholes along
Baybrook Street, which are currently located in the bottom of the ditch
line and below ground elevation. This will reduce the amount of inflow
into the collection system leading to the Lakewood Pumping Station and
reduce the total volume of water to be pumped.
The estimated cost for this project is $84,625.
6. Tilden and Calvert Lift Stations Modifications. This project will increase
the size of all pumps at each station and will enable them to effectively
convey at least the quantifiable volume of water observed during the
September 10 th and 11 th heavy rain events of last summer.
It also proposes extending the existing 16-inch force main exiting the
stations approximately 1000 feet to the north to lower the hydraulic
gradeline in the gravity sanitary sewer system near Elizabeth Lake Road.
This will prevent basement flooding in this area.
It also proposes protecting the Tilden Lift Station from storm water
inundation with the installation of a barrier that would surround the
immediate site. This will greatly reduce the amount of water volume the
station has to pump during these types of events.
It also proposes the installation of new flow meters at each station and is
required on lift stations with pumping capacities of 1200 GPM or more.
These meters will provide valuable information as to the pumping status
and condition of the stations.
The estimated cost for this project is $320,000.
7. Grinnell Lift Station Modifications. This project proposes extending the
existing 6 inch force main exiting the Grinnell Lift Station approximately
500 feet to a discharge point on Parkway north of the intersection of
Goethe, Larchmont and Parkway and construction of a duckbill check
valve manhole and a manhole containing a pump on Parkway north of
Goethe, Larchmont and Parkway.
The construction of the duckbill and pump manhole will allow dry
weather flow to pass through under normal conditions from Fullerton,
Oak, Larchmont, Denver and Goethe. In conditions of surcharging, such
as in a heavy rain event, the duckbill will close on Parkway and not allow
flow from the system downstream to backup into the Fullerton, Oak,
Larchmont, Denver and Goethe service areas. The pumping manhole will
then discharge flow from these areas into the downstream sewer to prevent
these areas from flooding.
The estimated cost for this project is $92,750.
8. Pontiac Creek Extension Drain Repair. Remove and relay approximately
850 ft of enclosed drain-pipe that had failed including restoration. This
repair was necessary to eliminate flooding in the area served by the drain.
An additional project was approved by the Township Board at their April 22, 2002
meeting and is outlined as follows:
1. Dorothy Lane Sanitary Sewer Extension. This project will install
approximately 993 lineal feet of 8" sanitary sewer and appurtenances
along Dorothy Lane. This extension will provide sanitary sewer service to
residents on the East Side of Dorothy Lane and prevent future septic field
problems in the area. The estimated cost for this project is $134,000.
Attachment A contains a copy of the Township Board resolution authorizing
reimbursement for the project listed above for your reference.
Attachment B contains expense invoices for all of the above projects as incurred since the
previous submittal that the Township is seeking to be reimbursed on. As mentioned in
the descriptions above, these projects are in various stages of completion and additional
costs will be submitted for them as milestones are reached.
The Township understands the review and processing of this reimbursement request will
be governed by the provisions of MR 99093, and certifies that all expenses submitted for
reimbursement were incurred in connection with a qualifying remediation or
improvement project.
As such, the Township is seeking for reimbursement in the amount of $282,916.92 at this
time.

The following memo was received from Community Planning and Development Director Vallina:
After a number of meetings between the Committee and preferred developer Velmeir
Companies, and the attorneys for both sides, we have developed a sales agreement that
is satisfactory to both the Committee and to the prospective purchaser of the property.
Attached for your review please find the draft final sales agreement for your
consideration. The Exhibit A containing the legal property description has not yet been
inserted and currently Exhibit B contains only the primary concept plan. There are a
couple of variations of the concept that Velmeir will be providing and should be ready to
provide to you at Monday's meeting. I have also attached a copy of a letter from
Township Attorney Gary Dovre regarding the development of this agreement. The
Committee believes that this sales agreement, once executed and implemented, will
achieve most, if not all, of the goals originally proposed by the Committee and adopted
by the Board. With this agreement, the developer will be required to pursue the rezoning
of the property through the Township's Plan Approval Use (PAU) process. There is
substantial landscaping required along the frontage of both M59 and Crescent Lake
Road; including a landscaped plaza area on the corner. There will be some architectural
control through the PAU process. Besides the CVS drugstore, a second use will be
required to be developed on that property. There will be some limitation on what use will
be allowed on the property. Until the second structure is developed, the developer will
be required to maintain a greenscape in the area set for the second structure. There will
be a cross-access agreement between the two uses to be developed on the current site,
as well as to require cross-access to any future expansion of this development to the
properties east and south of the Township's parcel. Finally, the Township will receive
$2.1 million dollars for the property upon completion of the PAU and site plan process.
The Committee recommends that the Township Board approve the attached sales
agreement and authorize the Township Supervisor to sign the sales agreement and any
related legal documents because it does provide for the implementation of the vision and
goals developed by the Committee.
Finally, as Chair of the Committee I would like to take this time to ask that the Board
acknowledge the efforts of Committee members Waterford businessman Bill Mountain,

Vallina memo continued:
Tom Wiseman of the Waterford School District, Supervisor Carl Solden, Clerk Betty
Fortino, Trustee Paul Deni, Fire Chief Dennis Storrs, Planning Commissioner Will Allen,
Larry Lockwood of my staff, and Township Attorney Gary Dovre, all of whom put a lot of
time and effort into this process. Both Township Attorney Gary Dovre and I will be in
attendance at Monday's Board meeting to answer questions or address any concerns of
the Board.
Moved by O'Shea,
Supported by Deni, RESOLVED, to approve the purchase agreement for the M59/Crescent
Lake Road property, and authorize the Clerk and Supervisor to sign it, with concept plans being
received and approved by the Planning Department.
Motion carried unanimously.
The following memo was received from DPW Director Terry Biedermnan:
Waterford Township holds an annual public auction to dispose of surplus real property.
Analysis of financial and operational data from the auction demonstrate that the actual
cost burden to the Township for holding the event increases each year and suggests
that the current platform may no longer be cost effective for the Township to continue
internally. In an effort to rectify this issue, a committee composed of representatives
from the Clerk's Office (Michael Shaw), the Treasurer's Office (Sandy Pulk) and the
Department of Public Works (DPW) (Harry Gordon, Keith Wheeler, Laurie Gigilo and
Gene LeMarbe) met to evaluate the current process and determine viable alternatives.
BACKGROUND:
Each year, months before the actual auction day, staff from the DPW Facilities and
Operations Division, start to work on the event. Departments throughout the Township
are notified to begin identifying and gathering items that they want included in the
auction. Throughout this period including up to the actual auction day, items are added
and deleted and many times added back to the auction list. An auctioneer is hired and
periodic meetings held with them to work out the details. In addition, a public notice is
drafted and flyers printed and reprinted as items are added and deleted to the list.
Several weeks before auction day, Facilities and Operations (F&O) personnel start
collecting and storing identified items with items often having to be moved several times
before auction day. The day before the auction, a tent is set-up with vehicles and other
large equipment being moved to the site. At this time, the Police Department is
requested to begin patrolling the area around the site.
Early in the morning on the day of the auction, F&O personnel begin moving the
remaining items for the bid to the site. Throughout the day of the event, Township staff
from several departments work to assist the auctioneer by moving items back and forth,
taking payments and providing additional assistance as necessary. Upon completion of
the auction, F&O personnel remove the tent, clean the grounds and repair any damage
W. T. Board Minutes from April 22, 2002
Biederman memo continued:
at the site. Items sold but not removed are relocated and items not sold are gathered
and disposed of.
Generally, the auction consumes hundreds of productive staff hours that would have
otherwise been available to support core departmental functions. The DPW F&O
division expends in excess of 350 staff hours to support the event. Additional time spent
by staff in the Treasurer's Office and other Township departments to aid in completion of
the auction increases the total Township staff allocation time to approximately 500
hours.
ISSUES:
As a result, several issues concerning the auction process were discussed and
evaluated by the committee and are listed as follows:
1. What is the actual cost to the Township of handling the annual auction internally?
2. Should an auction item(s) have a minimum book value?
3. Is there a cost beneficial alternative to the current auction process?
Issue # 1
The auction in 2001 raised a total of $47,827, which was $6,317 less than the previous
year. Of that, $29,471 was for the big draw used police cars auctioned by the Police
Department.
An additional $8,068 came from seized police and forfeiture items, and $5,669 came
from items auctioned by the DPW Water and Sewer Division. Subtracting the Police
Department portion of the total auction proceeds resulted in a balance of $10,228
collected by all other Township departments.
Fees for the auction included the auctioneer's commission of 10%, which amounted to
$4,783 as well as approximately $330 being spent on advertisements not including
miscellaneous reproduction costs such as Xeroxing copies of flyers and $500 on
miscellaneous incidentals. The cost of staff labor to support the event based on 500
hours of staff time was approximately $12,250. These fees and direct Township costs
totaled $17,863.
The auction in 2000 raised a total of $54,144. Of that, $35,998 was for items auctioned
from the Police Department. The auctioneer's commission that year was 13% or $7,113.
Approximately $103 was spent on advertising not including miscellaneous reproduction
costs such as Xeroxing copies of flyers and $500 on miscellaneous incidentals. The
cost of staff labor to support the event based on 500 hours of staff time was
approximately $11,750. These fees and direct Township costs totaled $19,466.
In addition, items that remain from the auction have to be relocated and/or disposed of
which also result in additional costs to the Township.
Issue #2
Currently, everything that is declared surplus real property is included in the auction.
Items with no residual value "junk" are often included and, even when grouped with other
like items, sell for less than what it costs the Township to identify, gather and place them
at the auction site. An example is surplus furniture and excess computer equipment in
5
W. T. Board Minutes from April 22, 2002
Biederman memo continued:
that, when auctioned, generally receive less than what it costs the Township to
inventory, collect, store, move and process them.
As a result, the committee explored a minimum threshold valuation for an item to be
declared surplus and included in the auction. It was concluded that a minimum
threshold valuation should be set and that any item whose value has depreciated to less
than the threshold value should be set aside for donation or disposed of. If no
organization can be found to take the item(s), they should be disposed of properly.
Township employees should not be allowed access or possession of the item(s) due to
liability and other issues.
Issue #3
The committee also explored the viability of a cost beneficial alternative to internally
conducting the auction. Mike Shaw, as the purchasing agent and acting representative
for the Township of the Tr-County Purchasing Cooperative, pointed out that the
Township is a member and that it could be a viable alternative. Upon investigation, it
was found that in March 2001, the City of Troy, also a member of the Cooperative,
awarded a contract for auction services to Mid-Thumb Auctioneers. Because the
Township is also a member of the Cooperative, it can utilize the services of this
auctioneer as well, which would significantly reduce the number of Township staff hours
now being dedicated to support the present auction process.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
As a result of the above, the committee requests that the Board approve the following
recommendations:
1. That the existing F&O pole barn and attached enclosed storage structure be
retained, in part, for the storage of surplus items designated for auction. That the
enclosed storage structure which adjoins the pole barn be reserved for the Police
Department for such items as bicycles and small motorized vehicles and will be
secured with only the Police Department having access to it.
Within the pole barn, metal cages will be constructed for each Township
department to store items designated for auction, which will be
individually locked with only the department assigned the space having a
key. This concept will provide adequate storage space for surplus items
for the various Township departments and eliminate the storage of these
items in offices or in areas where they create fire and safety hazards.
At the April 8, 2002 Board meeting, the Board approved the revised
F&O site plan concept, which would provide the necessary space for
auction storage.
2. That the auction process be continued with the modification that the Township
secures the services of Mid-Thumb Auctioneers to conduct the auction. Mr.
Shaw has confirmed that the Township can be made party to this agreement. I
have attached a packet of information outlining other
communities use of Mid-Thumb's services through the cooperative as well as
example auction lists and advertisements for your use.

W. T. Board Minutes from April 22, 2002
Biederman memo continued:
3. That the Township establish a $50.00 minimum value for items being declared
surplus and available for auction. Should a bid on any item be less than the
minimum value at auction, the Township should retain the right to reject the bid
and withdraw the item from the auction.
Any item whose depreciated value is less than $50.00 should be set-aside
for donation or disposal. The minimum threshold should be reviewed
every two (2) years and adjusted for inflation. If an item that falls into
this category cannot be donated to community or non-profit based
institutions, the Township should dispose of it properly and not allow
these items to be taken home by Township employees for personal use.
Moved by Fortino,
Supported by O'Shea, RESOLVED, to approve the foregoing auction recommendations,
eliminating the (suggested) $50.00 minimum.
Motion carried unanimously.
The Building Department had requested a Public Hearing for a dangerous building.
Moved by Deni,
Supported by Minton, RESOLVED, to establish May 29, 2002 at 7:00 PM as the Public Hearing
date for Dangerous Building Case #02-101.
Motion carried unanimously.
The Building Department requested a Public Hearing for another dangerous building.
Moved by O'Shea,
Supported by Fox, RESOLVED, to establish May 29, 2002 at 7:00 PM as the Public Hearing
date for Dangerous Building Case #02-104.
Motion carried unanimously.

W. T. Board Minutes from April 22, 2002
The following was received from DPW Director Terry Biederman:
The Oakland County Board of Commissioners established the Environmental
Infrastructure Fund to assist local communities (Cities, Villages and Townships),
throughout Oakland County, with water and sewer projects. The County Board of
Commissioners has committed to providing this fund with $5,000,000.00 per year for
each of fiscal years 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003. The fund is allocated to
individual local communities based on a formula involving the population and taxable
base for each community. Waterford Township's share of the Environmental
Infrastructure Fund is approximately $262,900.00 for each year of the program or
$1,051,600 through 2002. This is funding that does not have to be paid back by the
Township or matched with Township funds in any way.
The County Board of Commissioners has given the local units of government discretion
in determining what projects will be eligible for reimbursement under this program. Once
the local community has determined that a project is to be completed using the
Environmental Infrastructure Fund, a description of the project is submitted to the
Oakland County Board of Commissioners for authorization. After authorization by the
County Board, the local community will be reimbursed for the actual cost of the project
based on invoiced amounts paid by the local community.
The Township Board established the Environmental Infrastructure Revolving Fund
(EIRF) line item under the General Fund Budget to fund eligible water and sewer
projects at their July 26, 1999 Board meeting.
To date, there are eight (8) projects that have been authorized for completion by the
Board. The status of these projects varies from conceptual to under construction to
completed. They are as follows:
1. McDowell Drive Sanitary Sewer Extension $120,000
2. Lochaven Road Sanitary Sewer Extension $ 50,000
3. Williams Lake Road Sanitary Sewer Extension $ 43,948
4. Lochaven Road Water Main Extension $ 41,000
5. Lakewood Lift Station & Force Main Improv. $ 90,145
6. Tilden & Calvert Lift Station Modifications $320,000
7. Grinnell Lift Station $144,808
8. Pontiac Storm Drain Improvements $ 95,000
$904,901
One (1) new sanitary sewer project has been identified. Engineering evaluations
outlining recommendations and costs have been completed for the project, and we have
included a copy for your reference. The project for which we are requesting
authorization to proceed with is as follows:
Dorothy Lane Sanitary Sewer Extension:
This project will install approximately 993 lineal feet of 8" sanitary sewer and
appurtenances along Dorothy Lane. This extension will provide sanitary sewer service
to residents on the East Side of Dorothy Lane and prevent future septic field problems in
the area.
8
W. T. Board Minutes from April 22, 2002 9
Biederman memo continued:
The estimated cost for this project is $134,000.
Adding this estimate to the projected and actual costs of the eight (8) authorized projects
listed above increases total funding to $1,038,901.
In anticipation of the Township Board concurring with the above project
recommendations, we have prepared the attached Resolutions initiating them and
authorizing Terry E. Biederman, DPW Director, as agent for Waterford Township as the
responsible party for submitting reimbursement requests to the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners.

Moved by Fortino,
Supported by O'Shea, RESOLVED, to approve a Goose Round Up for the Cass Lake/Save Our

Motion carried unanimously.
The following memo was presented by Supervisor Carl Solden:
After the EDC adopted the Resolution of Inducement at their April 11, 2002 meeting, a
copy of which is attached for your information, this initiated the legal process for
implementing the EDC bond issuance application that Grunewald New Technologies
submitted to the EDC. As a point of information for you and the Board, the industrial
revenue bonds issued by the EDC will be payable only from the revenues of the
individual project that is being financed. The bondholder will usually be secured by a
first mortgage on the project. The municipality is not responsible for the debts of the
EDC.
The next step in this process is for the Township Board to adopt a resolution that
certifies the project area and approves the two additional EDC project members that you
will be recommending to the Board. Attached please find the Resolution Approving
Project Area, Establishing Project District Area, And Confirming Appointment Of
Additional Directors To The Board Of Directors Of The Issuer. Adopting this resolution is
the only action needed from the Board at this time for the Grunewald project. If the
Board decides to adopt this resolution, the next step in the process will be a meeting of
the regular EDC members and the two EDC project members. At that meeting, which
will be scheduled for May 2, 2002, the EDC will consider the project plan and adopt a
resolution recommending the project plan. At that point, this project will come back
before the Board at its May 13, 2002 meeting, where the Board will establish a public
hearing on the financing project for the May 29, 2002 Board meeting. If, after the public
hearing is held, the Board adopts a resolution approving the project plan, the EDC at its
next regularly scheduled meeting will then complete the project by adopting a bond
resolution. If there are any questions that you or the Township Board have on either the
procedural steps or the bond financing, both Paul Wyzgoski from bond counsel

W.T. Board Meeting minutes, April 22, 2002 p. 13
The following letter from Community Planning Development Director Bob Vallina was presented:
Back in August 2000, the Township Board approved the purchase of the Tubbs Road
property located at 5363 Tubbs Road for use as a DPW storage area for soil and
water/sewer infrastructure material to replace the former storage area that is now part of
the DPW building site. In addition, a portion of this land was also intended for inclusion as
part of the Rotary Park if the properties between the subject property and Rotary Park
ever became available. Staff had initially discussed with the Board the option of DPW
directly accessing the rear of the subject property from its Tubbs Road frontage.
However, the Board expressed great concern about this access because this entrance
would be between two residences. As an alternative, I had sought an easement along the
rear of the property from the U.S. Postal Service, which owns property to the south of the
Township property and had intended to build a new distribution center on the site. The
Post Office agreed to the easement. At the same time, the Board authorized staff, after an
easement was acquired, to split the narrow front section of the subject property where the
existing residential structure is located because the Township did not need the house or
want to become a landlord. In early 2001, the Post Office shelved their plans to build the
distribution center, but continued to verbally stand by their promise to grant the easement
we needed. Through late 2001, I had contacted their representatives on a number of
occasions to inquire on the status of the easement.
After continually hearing the equivalent of "it's in the mail", I was ready to give up when I
received word from the Oakland International Airport that they had received grant funds for
purchasing homes located in the 70 DNL noise contour area. Pat Shull from the Airport
staff informed me that the Airport would be offering to purchase some of the properties on
Tubbs Road. I have attached a map showing the status of the parcels adjacent to the
Township's Tubbs Road properties. As is shown on the map, the impact of DPW access
on adjacent residences is now virtually eliminated. In addition, a company that has bought
and moved some of the houses acquired by the Airport has offered to pay the Township
$1,500 for the house at 5363 Tubbs Road. This company would move the house at no
cost to the Township.
Because of this change in status, I would respectfully request the Board's approval for
staff to sell the house, not split the property since there is no longer any reason for a
property split, and allow DPW to access the subject property from the Tubbs Road
frontage of the subject property. Tom Coburn, Doug Bradley, and I will all be in
attendance at Monday's Board meeting to answer questions or address any concerns of
the Board.
Moved by Maloney,
Supported by O'Shea, RESOLVED, to approve the foregoing request to sell the house on Tubbs
Road, not split the property as previously planned, and allow DPW access to the frontage.
Motion carried unanimously.
W.T. Board Meeting minutes, April 22, 2002 p. 14
Fire Chief Dennis Storrs presented the following:
Over the past couple of years the current Fire Department administration has addressed
many of our most immediate needs. Some of those have included, but are not limited to,
the finishing of our new Station #1/Fire Department Headquarters; bringing our truck fleet
into compliance and up to the needs of today's fire service. Also, additional training
programs for career and volunteer firefighters have been implemented. These included
specialized need training programs, rescue effort training, public training in CPR and First
Aid Programs. We have also insured the citizens of Waterford Township that they will
have the help they need in any situation by aligning ourselves with Oakway and the North
Oakland Mutual Aid Pact.
With these tasks somewhat behind us, we turn our attention to future needs of the citizens
and the fire service here in Waterford. Two of our most immediate needs are, in our
opinion, the rebuilding and relocation of our oldest station — Station #2 on Walton Blvd.
and a third rescue truck for the North end of the Township.
First, I would like to address the building of a new Station #2. I would like to preface this
by saying that there will be no additional taxes needed or citizen money to build a new
Station #2. We are currently talking to the Waterford School District about property that
the Fire Department owns that abuts two of their schools. We would like to trade those
properties to the school district for a piece of property that they currently own next to
Mason Junior High School. Therefore, there would be no cost incurred for the site for
a new Station #2. The Fire Department also owns a piece of property behind the Big Boy
on Silver Lake Road and of course the current Station #2 property on Walton Blvd. We
feel that coupled with money we have in our fund balance and the sale of those two
properties, we can build an adequate station to house a rescue and fire engine on Walton
Blvd. adjacent to Mason Junior High.
Old Station #2 is 50 years old this year. All the mechanical equipment is somewhat
antiquated. The building has been added onto a number of times and we do not feel, at
this time, it is in the perfect location to cover our northeast part of the Township. With the
railroad tracks cutting Waterford off in the northeast corner coupled with the growing
population of that area, it makes good sense that we house a third rescue in the North
end. Therefore, we respectfully request the Township Board to allow us to do a feasibility
study on this issue. This would include continued negotiations with the Waterford School
District and appraisals on the two pieces of property that we would ultimately request to
sell — old Station #2 and the property on Silver Lake Road. We would also request that
the site adjacent to Mason Junior High be evaluated.
As for the third rescue, we would leave that up to the citizens. What I would like to
propose is that we place a millage ballot on the August primary to ask specifically for the
manpower and equipment needed to put a third rescue unit on 365 days a year.
A third rescue is needed for a number of reasons. The private companies that transport
our patients in this area are becoming less and less dependable and we find ourselves in
a position of transporting patients on a more regular basis. Currently, due to the fact that
we are transporting more often than ever before, there are many times daily when both of
our rescues are tied up and out of the Township transporting patients and getting back in
service at area hospitals. With the unreliability and unpredictability of the private
ambulance companies that are backing us up, the citizens are at times without paramedic
service at crucial moments. We feel that with a third rescue, we could dramatically reduce
the times that there are no paramedic units available for the citizens in Waterford.
W.T. Board Meeting minutes, April 22, 2002 p. 15
Storrs memo continued:
At this time, we do have enough paramedics on a daily basis, part of the time, to man a third
rescue. However, if this plan comes to fruition we would look during the hiring process to hire
additional paramedics with millage money.
We respectfully request the Township Board to allow the citizens to speak on this issue. If the
Board sees fit, we would ask for seven tenths of a mill which we feel is adequate to fund the
additional personnel and additional equipment needed to put on a third rescue 24 hours a day, 7
days a week, 365 days a year.
Note: After a motion to divide the two requests on the agenda (approval of feasibility study and
placement of Fire Department millage on August ballot), it was the consensus of the Board to
amend the motion as follows:
Moved by Fortino,
Supported by O'Shea, RESOLVED, to approve a feasibility study for the Fire Deparmtent.
Motion carried unanimously.
The following memo was received from Deputy Clerk Karen Macintosh:
The Clerk's Department received a request from the Lion's Club for a Solicitation Permit.
The request was made on April 18 and the date of their event is April 26.
As you know, the new ordinance requires the applicant to apply 30 days in advance of the
event.
The Lion's Club was not aware of the new ordinance. They have held their solicitation for
many years and they perform many services for our community. Therefore, the Township
Attorney Peter Donlin advised the Board consider waiving the 30 days in this particular
case. Thank you.
Moved by Fox,
Supported by O'Shea, RESOLVED, to waive the 30-day advance application requirement for the
Lion's Club to secure a Solicitation Permit for April 26, 2002.
Motion carried unanimously.
W.T. Board Meeting minutes, April 22, 2002 p. 16
The following resolution was received from Fiscal and Human Resource Director Robert
Seeterlin:
BOND RESOLUTION
Limited Tax General Obligation Capital Improvement Bonds, Series 2002
WHEREAS, this Township Board does hereby determine that it is necessary to acquire
vehicles for police protection, fire safety and general township operating purposes (the
"Vehicles"); and
WHEREAS, the cost of the Vehicles is estimated to be not less than Six Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($600,000) and
WHEREAS, this Township Board has determined to issue bonds and to use the proceeds
of the sale of such bonds to finance the acquisition of the Vehicles.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Township Board of the Charter Township of
Waterford, Michigan, as follows:
1. AUTHORIZATION OF BONDS-- PURPOSE. Bonds of the Township aggregating the
principal sum of Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000) shall be issued and sold for the
purpose of defraying the cost of the Vehicles, including the cost of issuing the bonds.
2. BOND DETAILS. The bonds shall be designated "Limited Tax General Obligation Capital
Improvement Bonds, Series 2002"; shall be dated June 1, 2002; shall be numbered from 1
upwards; shall be fully registered; shall be in the denomination of $5,000 each or any integral
multiple thereof not exceeding the aggregate principal amount for each maturity at the option of
the purchaser thereof; shall bear interest at a rate or rates not exceeding 7% per annum to be
determined upon the sale thereof payable on the first days of May and November in each year
commencing on November 1, 2002; shall be due and payable in four (4) equal installments of
principal, in the amount of $150,000 each, on May 1 in each of the years 2003 through 2006, both
inclusive, without option of prior redemption.
3. METHOD OF SALE. The bonds shall be sold pursuant a negotiated sale as provided in
this Resolution. The Director of Fiscal and Human Resources shall request proposals for the
purchase of the bonds from financial institutions to be determined by him. The Director of Fiscal
and Human Resources shall present the bids to this Township Board for the award of the bonds
and approval of the interest rates on the bonds. It is hereby determined that this method of sale is
in the best interests of the Township and is calculated to provide the Township with the lowest
costs of borrowing money through the issuance of the bonds.
4. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. The principal of and interest on the bonds
shall be payable in lawful money of the United States. Principal shall be payable upon
presentation and surrender of the bonds to the bond registrar and paying agent as they severally
mature. Interest shall be paid to the registered owner of each bond as shown on the registration
books at the close of business on the 15th day of the calendar month proceeding the month in
which the interest payment is due. Interest shall be paid when due by check or draft drawn upon
and mailed by the bond registrar and paying agent to the registered owner at the registered
address.
5. BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM. Initially, one fully-registered bond for each maturity, in the
aggregate 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 Township determines that it is in the
W.T. Board Meeting minutes, April 22, 2002 p. 17
best interest of the Township 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 Township 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 Township and the bond registrar and
paying agent and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law or the
Township may determine that DTC is incapable of discharging its duties and may so advise DTC.
In either such event, the Township shall use reasonable efforts to locate another securities
depository. Under such circumstances (if there is no successor securities depository), the
Township 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 Township and the bond registrar and paying agent to
do so, the Township 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 certificated 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 the bonds and all notices with respect
to the bonds shall be made and given, respectively, to DTC. The Supervisor, Clerk and Treasurer
are authorized to sign the Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations on behalf of the Township in
such form as the Supervisor, Clerk and Treasurer deems necessary or appropriate in order to
accomplish the issuance of the bonds in accordance with law and this resolution.
6. PRIOR REDEMPTION. The bonds are not subject to redemption prior to maturity.
7. BOND REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT. The 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 that is qualified to act in such capacity
under the laws of the United States of America or the State of Michigan. The Treasurer may from
time to time as required designate a similarly qualified successor bond registrar and paying agent.
8. EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY OF BONDS. The bonds shall be
executed in the name of the Township by the facsimile signatures of the Supervisor and the Clerk
and authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized representative of the bond registrar
and paying agent, and the seal of the Township (or a facsimile 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 Treasurer or the Supervisor to the
purchaser upon receipt of the purchase price. Additional bonds bearing the facsimile signatures
of the Supervisor and the Clerk and upon which the seal of the Township (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.
9. EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF BONDS. Any bond, at the option of the registered
owner thereof and 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, may be exchanged for bonds of any other
W.T. Board Meeting minutes, April 22, 2002 p. 18
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 Township, 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 Township 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 „
The Township 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 Township 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 Township nor the bond registrar and
paying agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Township 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 Township 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.
