kind, including, but not limited to, workers' disability compensation
benefits, unemployment compensation, Social Security Act protections and

MUNICIPALITY AGENT'S statutory, contractual, constitutional or civil
rights by the MUNICIPALITY, the COUNTY or any COUNTY AGENT.
The MUNICIPALITY agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
COUNTY from and against any and all CLAIM(S) which are imposed
upon, incurred by, or which are based upon, result from, or arise from, or

8. FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES.
8.1 The COUNTY, subject to the terms of this AGREEMENT, will advance
such funds as are necessary to pay the HAZARDOUS WASTE
COLLECTION COSTS and ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS of the
6
PROGRAM. The MUNICIPALITY shall repay the COUNTY in the
following manner.
8.2 The MUNICIPALITY shall repay the COUNTY a percentage of the total
ADMINISTRATIVE COST of the PROGRAM. The MUNICIPALITY'S
share of administrative costs under the program shall be the sum total of
two different calculations. The first calculation, based upon MUNICIPAL
population figures, represents half of the MUNICIPALITIES share of
ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS under the program. This figure shall be
based upon total MUNICIPAL population compared to the overall
population of participating MUNICIPALITIES program-wide. For
purposes of illustration without limitation, if the MUNICIPALITY consists
of 1,000 residents and there are a total of 10,000 MUNICIPAL residents
sewed program-wide, then the MUNICPALITY would pay 10 (ten) percent
of this half of the PROGRAM'S total ADMINISTRATIVE COST. The
second half of the MUNICIPALITY'S total ADMINISTRATIVE COST
shall be the percentage of total MUNICIPAL participation compared to the
overall participation of residents program-wide. For purposes of
illustration without limitation, if 1000 MUNICIPAL residents participate in
the program and there are a total of 10,000 MUNICIPAL residents
participating program-wide, then the MUNICIPALITY would pay 10% of
this half of the ADMINISTRATIVE COST.
8.2.1 If a MUNICIPALITY hosts a hazardous waste collection event as
part of this program at one of its own sites, the MUNICIPALITY
shall be reimbursed by the COUNTY out of the program's
administrative budget. The amount of money provided to
reimburse a MUNICIPALITY for hosting a collection event shall
be a set amount and will be determined by the NO HAZ BOARD
once formed. Any expenses incurred by a MUNICIPALITY
which are beyond the amount determined by the NO HAZ
BOARD to be appropriate for a collection event shall be the sole
responsibility of the MUNICIPALITY.
8.3 The MUNICIPALITY shall also repay the COUNTY a portion of the
HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS. The HAZARDOUS
WASTE COLLECTION COST will be all costs paid by the COUNTY to
the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR for collecting and disposing of a
MUNICIPAL resident's hazardous waste material. The MUNICIPALITY
may cap its HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS by limiting
the number of MUNICIPAL residents that may participate in collection
events. The MUNICIPALITY shall advise the COUNTY of any such
limitation upon MUNICIPAL resident participation.
8.4 The COUNTY shall submit an invoice to the MUNICIPALITY itemizing
all amounts due under this AGREEMENT for its share of
ADMINISTRATIVE and HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION
COSTS. The MUNICIPALITY shall pay the invoice submitted to the
COUNTY within thirty (30) days after receipt of the invoice.
7
8.5 Except as expressly provided in this AGREEMENT, the COUNTY is not
responsible for any cost, fee, fine or penalty incurred by the
MUNICIPALITY in connection with this AGREEMENT.
8.6 MUNICIPALITY'S Failure to Pay
8.6.1 To the maximum extent provided by law, should the
MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY
the amounts required under this AGREEMENT, the COUNTY
Treasurer shall be entitled to set-off and retain any amounts due
the MUNICIPALITY from Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund
("DTRF") or any other source of funds due the MUNICIPALITY
in the possession of the COUNTY, to partially or completely offset
any deficiency by the MUNICIPALITY, unless expressly
prohibited by law. Such a transfer shall be considered an
assignment by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. Further, the
MUNICIPALITY waives any CLAIMS against the COUNTY, or
its officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY.
8.6.2 To the maximum extent provided by law, should the
MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY
the amounts required under this AGREEMENT, the
MUNICIPALITY agrees that upon notice from the Oakland
COUNTY Treasurer to the Treasurer of the State of Michigan (or
any other State of Michigan official authorized to disburse funds to
the MUNICIPALITY), the State of Michigan is authorized to
withhold any funds due the MUNICIPALITY from the State, and
assign those funds to partially or completely offset any deficiency
by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. Such funds shall be
paid directly to the COUNTY. Further, the MUNICIPALITY
waives any CLAIMS against the State or COUNTY, or their
respective officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY.
8.6.3 Neither of these provisions shall operate to limit in any way the
COUNTY'S right to pursue any other legal remedies against the
MUNICIPALITY for the reimbursement of amounts due the
COUNTY under this AGREEMENT. The remedies in this
paragraph are available to the COUNTY on an ongoing and
successive basis, as the MUNICIPALITY becomes delinquent in
its payments.
9. MUNICIPALITY INDEMNIFICATION OF COUNTY.
9.1 The MUNICIPALITY agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the
COUNTY and/or any COUNTY AGENT from any CLAIM(S), loss, or
damage connected to or resulting from any work done by the
MUNICIPALITY and/or any MUNICIPALITY AGENT'S under this
AGREEMENT, unless such loss or damage is caused by the
MUNICIPALITY and/or MUNICIPALITY AGENTS following direct
instructions from COUNTY AGENT(S).
8
10. HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR INDEMNIFICATION OF THE
MUNICIPALITY.
10.1 The COUNTY shall seek the following indemnification for participating
MUNICIPALITIES within the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR
CONTRACT:
10.1.1 "The Contractor will protect, defend and indemnify all
Municipalities participating in the North Oakland County
Household Hazardous Waste Program, together with their officers,
agents, servants, volunteers, and employees from any and all
liabilities, claims, liens, demands, and costs, of whatever kind and
nature which may result in injury or death to any persons, and for
loss or damage to any property, including property owned or in the
care, custody or control of participating MUNICIPALITIES in
connection with or in any way incident to or arising out of the
occupancy, use, service operations, performance, or non-
performance of work in connection with this contract resulting in
whole or in part from negligent acts or omissions of Contractor,
any sub-contractor, or any employee, agent or representative of the
Contractor or subcontractor.
11. LENGTH OF AGREEMENT. This AGREEMENT shall remain in effect for
one year after the effective date of the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR
CONTRACT or until cancelled or terminated by either Party pursuant to Section
12 below. If the MUNICIPALITY terminates this AGREEMENT after the
program has commenced but before the expiration of the HAZARDOUS WASTE
VENDOR CONTRACT, it shall nevertheless remain liable for its share of the
ADMINISTRATIVE and HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS for
the one-year term of the Agreement.
12. COMMENCEMENT OF AGREEMENT. This agreement shall not become
binding upon either party until such time as the COUNTY becomes contractually
obligated or owing to a HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR. Forty-five (45)
calendar days before the COUNTY becomes contractually obligated to the
HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR, the COUNTY will send a copy of the
proposed HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR contract, to the MUNICIPALITY
for review. Along with a copy of the proposed HAZARDOUS WASTE
VENDOR CONTRACT, the COUNTY will also send written notice to the
MUNICIPALITY of its estimated ADMINISTRATIVE and HAZARDOUS
WASTE VENDOR COSTS under the program. If the MUNICIPALITY
concludes, in its sole discretion, that the cost of the program is too high or that
indemnification and/or insurance specifications within the HAZARDOUS
WASTE VENDOR CONTRACT are inadequate, the MUNICIPALITY shall
notify the COUNTY, in writing, within 45 calendar days of the date of the
COUNTY'S notice regarding costs of the program that it will not participate in
the program. The MUNICIPALITY'S participation shall be cancelled upon the
timely receipt of such notice. After the 45 calendar days notice period has
9
expired under this section, the parties may only terminate this agreement as
provided in Section 12 of this Agreement.
12,1 The COUNTY reserves the right, at any time before it becomes
• contractually obligated to the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR, to
unilaterally cancel this agreement if it determines, in its sole discretion, that
the number of participating MUNICIPALITIES is too small to
economically support the cost of this program.
13. TERMINATION OR CANCELLATION OF AGREEMENT. Once the
agreement commences (as described in section 11 above) and the COUNTY
becomes contractually obligated to the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR, the
parties may only terminate this AGREEMENT as provided below:

Hello again (last time today I hope!),
It was asked that I put together a summary of the main changes in the 2004 Interlocal agreement and the
proposed 2005 Interlocal agreement Following are the main changes:
Section 5.41 removed the proposed schedule, which would have been Exhibit A. Since the locations and dates
have not been identified, the following language was inserted in Section 5.6: "Oakland County will schedule dates
and times for hazardous waste collection services for the 2005 year program in cooperation with the NO HAZ
Board."
Section 6.2 After the language that the county had gone out for bid and selected a househokl hazardous waste
vendor in 2004,1 added: "The COUNTY will exercise its ability to renew the contract with the 2004 HAZARDOUS
WASTE VENDOR selected, at the prices listed for the rd year, and with the conditions fisted in the initial
proposal, for the 2005 NO HAZ program."
Section 6.61 removed the entire section detailing the process for setting appointments for the collection days.
Section 6.71 added that the person's name and estimates of the materials brought to a collection would be
included on the survey administered at the collections. This is for billing purposes, since we usually obtained this
information prior to collections when a resident was setting up an appointment.
Section 8.2 I changed a lot of this section to reflect the new system that will be used to calculate the
administrative charge to each community. 50% will be based on a community's population, and 50% will be based
on the actual participation a community contributes to the overall participation of the Consortium.
Section 8.2.1 I included in this section that a community would only be reimbursed if an event were held at a
location owned by the community, not at a private site within the community.
Other Exhibit A The projected costs are preliminary at this point.
Exhibit B The administrative fee for 2005 is reduced to $45,000, based on holding two collection events,
and eiminating the appointment process.
Thanks,

PROGRAM. The MUNICIPALITY shall repay the COUNTY in the
following manner.
8.2 The MUNICIPALITY shall repay the COUNTY a percentage of the total
ADMINISTRATIVE COST of the PROGRAM. The MUNICIPALITY'S
share of administrative costs under the program shall be the sum total of two
different calculations. The first calculation, based upon MUNICIPAL
population figures, represents half of the MUNICIPALITIES share of
ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS under the program. This figure shall be based
upon total MUNICIPAL population compared to the overall population of
participating MUNICIPALITIES program-wide. For purposes of
illustration without limitation, if the MUNICIPALITY consists of 1,000
residents and there are a total of 10,000 MUNICIPAL residents served
program-wide, then the MUNICPALITY would pay 10 (ten) percent of this
half of the PROGRAM'S total ADMINISTRATIVE COST. The second
half of the MUNICIPALITY'S total ADMINISTRATIVE COST shall be
the percentage of total MUNICIPAL participation compared to the overall
participation of residents program-wide. For purposes of illustration
without limitation, if 1000 MUNICIPAL residents participate in the
program and there are a total of 10,000 MUNICIPAL residents participating
program-wide, then the MUNICIPALITY would pay 10% of this half of the
ADMINISTRATIVE COST.
8.2.1 If a MUNICIPALITY hosts a hazardous waste collection event as
part of this program at one of its own sites, the MUNICIPALITY
shall be reimbursed by the COUNTY out of the program's
administrative budget. The amount of money provided to
reimburse a MUNICIPALITY for hosting a collection event shall
be a set amount and will be determined by the NO HAZ BOARD
once formed. Any expenses incurred by a MUNICIPALITY
which are beyond the amount determined by the NO HAZ
BOARD to be appropriate for a collection event shall be the sole
responsibility of the MUNICIPALITY.
8.3 The MUNICIPALITY shall also repay the COUNTY a portion of the
HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS. The HAZARDOUS
WASTE COLLECTION COST will be all costs paid by the COUNTY to
the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR for collecting and disposing of a
MUNICIPAL resident's hazardous waste material. The MUNICIPALITY
may cap its HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS by limiting the
number of MUNICIPAL residents that may participate in collection events.
The MUNICIPALITY shall advise the COUNTY of any such limitation
upon MUNICIPAL resident participation.
8.4 The COUNTY shall submit an invoice to the MUNICIPALITY itemizing all
amounts due under this AGREEMENT for its share of ADMINISTRATIVE
and HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS. The
MUNICIPALITY shall pay the invoice submitted to the COUNTY within
thirty (30) days after receipt of the invoice.
7
8.5 Except as expressly provided in this AGREEMENT, the COUNTY is not
responsible for any cost, fee, fine or penalty incurred by the
MUNICIPALITY in connection with this AGREEMENT.
8.6 MUNICIPALITY'S Failure to Pay
8.6.1 To the maximum extent provided by law, should the
MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY
the amounts required under this AGREEMENT, the COUNTY
Treasurer shall be entitled to set-off and retain any amounts due
the MUNICIPALITY from Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund
("DTRF") or any other source of funds due the MUNICIPALITY
in the possession of the COUNTY, to partially or completely offset
any deficiency by the MUNICIPALITY, unless expressly
prohibited by law. Such a transfer shall be considered an
assignment by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. Further, the
MUNICIPALITY waives any CLAIMS against the COUNTY, or
its officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY.
8.6.2 To the maximum extent provided by law, should the
MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY
the amounts required under this AGREEMENT, the
MUNICIPALITY agrees that upon notice from the Oakland
COUNTY Treasurer to the Treasurer of the State of Michigan (or
any other State of Michigan official authorized to disburse funds to
the MUNICIPALITY), the State of Michigan is authorized to
withhold any funds due the MUNICIPALITY from the State, and
assign those funds to partially or completely offset any deficiency
by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. Such funds shall be
paid directly to the COUNTY. Further, the MUNICIPALITY
waives any CLAIMS against the State or COUNTY, or their
respective officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY.
8.6.3 Neither of these provisions shall operate to limit in any way the
COUNTY'S right to pursue any other legal remedies against the
MUNICIPALITY for the reimbursement of amounts due the
COUNTY under this AGREEMENT. The remedies in this
paragraph are available to the COUNTY on an ongoing and
successive basis, as the MUNICIPALITY becomes delinquent in
its payments.
9. MUNICIPALITY INDEMNIFICATION OF COUNTY.
9.1 The MUNICIPALITY agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the
COUNTY and/or any COUNTY AGENT from any CLAIM(S), loss, or
damage connected to or resulting from any work done by the

following manner.

ADMINISTRATIVE COST of the PROGRAM. The MUNICIPALITY'S
share of administrative costs under the program shall be the sum total of
two different calculations. The first calculation, based upon MUNICIPAL
population figures, represents half of the MUNICIPALITIES share of
ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS under the program. This figure shall be
based upon total MUNICIPAL population compared to the overall
population of participating MUNICIPALITIES program-wide. For
purposes of illustration without limitation, if the MUNICIPALITY consists
of 1,000 residents and there are a total of 10,000 MUNICIPAL residents
served program-wide, then the MUNICPALITY would pay 10 (ten) percent
of this half of the PROGRAM'S total ADMINISTRATIVE COST. The
second half of the MUNICIPALITY'S total ADMINISTRATIVE COST
shall be the percentage of total MUNICIPAL participation compared to the
overall participation of residents program-wide. For purposes of
illustration without limitation, if 1000 MUNICIPAL residents participate in
the program and there are a total of 10,000 MUNICIPAL residents
participating program-wide, then the MUNICIPALITY would pay 10% of
this half of the ADMINISTRATIVE COST.
8.2.1 If a MUNICIPALITY hosts a hazardous waste collection event as
part of this program at one of its own sites, the MUNICIPALITY
shall be reimbursed by the COUNTY out of the program's
administrative budget. The amount of money provided to
reimburse a MUNICIPALITY for hosting a collection event shall
be a set amount and will be determined by the NO HAZ BOARD
once formed. Any expenses incurred by a MUNICIPALITY
which are beyond the amount determined by the NO HAZ
BOARD to be appropriate for a collection event shall be the sole
responsibility of the MUNICIPALITY.
8.3 The MUNICIPALITY shall also repay the COUNTY a portion of the
HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS. The HAZARDOUS
WASTE COLLECTION COST will be all costs paid by the COUNTY to
the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR for collecting and disposing of a
MUNICIPAL resident's hazardous waste material. The MUNICIPALITY
may cap its HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS by limiting
the number of MUNICIPAL residents that may participate in collection
events. The MUNICIPALITY shall advise the COUNTY of any such
limitation upon MUNICIPAL resident participation.
8.4 The COUNTY shall submit an invoice to the MUNICIPALITY itemizing
all amounts due under this AGREEMENT for its share of
ADMINISTRATIVE and HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION
COSTS. The MUNICIPALITY shall pay the invoice submitted to the
COUNTY within thirty (30) days after receipt of the invoice.
7
8.5 Except as expressly provided in this AGREEMENT, the COUNTY is not
responsible for any cost, fee, fine or penalty incurred by the
MUNICIPALITY in connection with this AGREEMENT.
8.6 MUNICIPALITY'S Failure to Pay
8.6.1 To the maximum extent provided by law, should the
MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY
the amounts required under this AGREEMENT, the COUNTY
Treasurer shall be entitled to set-off and retain any amounts due
the MUNICIPALITY from Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund
("DTRF") or any other source of funds due the MUNICIPALITY
in the possession of the COUNTY, to partially or completely offset
any deficiency by the MUNICIPALITY, unless expressly
prohibited by law. Such a transfer shall be considered an
assignment by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. Further, the
MUNICIPALITY waives any CLAIMS against the COUNTY, or
its officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY.
8.62 To the maximum extent provided by law, should the
MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY
the amounts required under this AGREEMENT, the
MUNICIPALITY agrees that upon notice from the Oakland
COUNTY Treasurer to the Treasurer of the State of Michigan (or
any other State of Michigan official authorized to disburse funds to
the MUNICIPALITY), the State of Michigan is authorized to
withhold any funds due the MUNICIPALITY from the State, and
assign those funds to partially or completely offset any deficiency
by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. Such funds shall be
paid directly to the COUNTY. Further, the MUNICIPALITY
waives any CLAIMS against the State or COUNTY, or their
respective officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY.
8.6.3 Neither of these provisions shall operate to limit in any way the
COUNTY'S right to pursue any other legal remedies against the
MUNICIPALITY for the reimbursement of amounts due the
COUNTY under this AGREEMENT. The remedies in this
paragraph are available to the COUNTY on an ongoing and
successive basis, as the MUNICIPALITY becomes delinquent in
its payments.
9. MUNICIPALITY INDEMNIFICATION OF COUNTY.
9.1 The MUNICIPALITY agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the
COUNTY and/or any COUNTY AGENT from any CLAIM(S), loss, or
damage connected to or resulting from any work done by the
MUNICIPALITY and/or any MUNICIPALITY AGENT'S under this
AGREEMENT, unless such loss or damage is caused by the

COLLECTION COSTS and ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS of the
PROGRAM. The MUNICIPALITY shall repay the COUNTY in the
following manner.
6
8.2 The MUNICIPALITY shall repay the COUNTY a percentage of the total
ADMINISTRATIVE COST of the PROGRAM. The MUNICIPALITY'S
share of administrative costs under the program shall be the sum total of two
different calculations, The first calculation, based upon MUNICIPAL
population figures, represents half of the MUNICIPALITIES share of
ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS under the program. This figure shall be based
upon total MUNICIPAL population compared to the overall population of
participating MUNICIPALITIES program-wide. For purposes of illustration
without limitation, if the MUNICIPALITY consists of 1,000 residents and
there are a total of 10,000 MUNICIPAL residents served program-wide, then
the MUNICPALITY would pay 10 (ten) percent of this half of the
PROGRAM'S total ADMINISTRATIVE COST. The second half of the
MUNICIPALITY'S total ADMINISTRATIVE COST shall be the percentage
of total MUNICIPAL participation compared to the overall participation of
residents program-wide. For purposes of illustration without limitation, if
1000 MUNICIPAL residents participate in the program and there are a total of
10,000 MUNICIPAL residents participating program-wide, then the
MUNICIPALITY would pay 10% of this half of the ADMINISTRATIVE
COST.
8.2.1 If a MUNICIPALITY hosts a hazardous waste collection event as
part of this program at one of its own sites, the MUNICIPALITY
shall be reimbursed by the COUNTY out of the program's
administrative budget. The amount of money provided to
reimburse a MUNICIPALITY for hosting a collection event shall
be a set amount and will be determined by the NO HAZ BOARD
once formed. Any expenses incurred by a MUNICIPALITY
which are beyond the amount determined by the NO HAZ
BOARD to be appropriate for a collection event shall be the sole
responsibility of the MUNICIPALITY.
8.3 The MUNICIPALITY shall also repay the COUNTY a portion of the
HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS. The HAZARDOUS
WASTE COLLECTION COST will be all costs paid by the COUNTY to the
HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR for collecting and disposing of a
MUNICIPAL resident's hazardous waste material. The MUNICIPALITY
may cap its HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS by limiting the
number of MUNICIPAL residents that may participate in collection events.
The MUNICIPALITY shall advise the COUNTY of any such limitation upon
MUNICIPAL resident participation.
8.4 The COUNTY shall submit an invoice to the MUNICIPALITY itemizing all
amounts due under this AGREEMENT for its share of ADMINISTRATIVE
and HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS. The MUNICIPALITY
shall pay the invoice submitted to the COUNTY within thirty (30) days after
receipt of the invoice
7
8.5 Except as expressly provided in this AGREEMENT, the COUNTY is not
responsible for any cost, fee, fine or penalty incurred by the MUNICIPALITY
in connection with this AGREEMENT.
8.6 MUNICIPALITY'S Failure to Pay
8.6.1 To the maximum extent provided by law, should the
MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY
the amounts required under this AGREEMENT, the COUNTY
Treasurer shall be entitled to set-off and retain any amounts due
the MUNICIPALITY from Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund
("DTRF") or any other source of funds due the MUNICIPALITY
in the possession of the COUNTY, to partially or completely offset
any deficiency by the MUNICIPALITY, unless expressly
prohibited by law. Such a transfer shall be considered an
assignment by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. Further, the
MUNICIPALITY waives any CLAIMS against the COUNTY, or
its officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY.
8.6.2 To the maximum extent provided by law, should the
MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY
the amounts required under this AGREEMENT, the
MUNICIPALITY agrees that upon notice from the Oakland
COUNTY Treasurer to the Treasurer of the State of Michigan (or
any other State of Michigan official authorized to disburse funds to
the MUNICIPALITY), the State of Michigan is authorized to
withhold any funds due the MUNICIPALITY from the State, and
assign those funds to partially or completely offset any deficiency
by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. Such funds shall be
paid directly to the COUNTY. Further, the MUNICIPALITY
waives any CLAIMS against the State or COUNTY, or their
respective officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY.
8.6.3 Neither of these provisions shall operate to limit in any way the
COUNTY'S right to pursue any other legal remedies against the
MUNICIPALITY for the reimbursement of amounts due the
COUNTY under this AGREEMENT. The remedies in this
paragraph are available to the COUNTY on an ongoing and
successive basis, as the MUNICIPALITY becomes delinquent in
its payments.
9. MUNICIPALITY INDEMNIFICATION OF COUNTY.
9.1 The MUNICIPALITY agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the
COUNTY and/or any COUNTY AGENT from any CLAIM(S), loss, or
damage connected to or resulting from any work done by the
MUNICIPALITY and/or any MUNICIPALITY AGENT'S under this
AGREEMENT, unless such loss or damage is caused by the
MUNICIPALITY and/or MUNICIPALITY AGENTS following direct
instructions from COUNTY AGENT(S).
8
10 HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR INDEMNIFICATION OF THE
MUNICIPALITY.
10.1 The COUNTY shall seek the following indemnification for participating
MUNICIPALITIES within the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR
CONTRACT
10.1.1 "The Contractor will protect, defend and indemnify all
Municipalities participating in the North Oakland County
Household Hazardous Waste Program, together with their officers,
agents, servants, volunteers, and employees from any and all
liabilities, claims, liens, demands, and costs, of whatever kind and
nature which may result in injury or death to any persons, and for
loss or damage to any property, including property owned or in the
care, custody or control of participating MUNICIPALITIES in
connection with or in any way incident to or arising out of the
occupancy, use, service operations, performance, or non-
performance of work in connection with this contract resulting in
whole or in part from negligent acts or omissions of Contractor,
any sub-contractor, or any employee, agent or representative of the
Contractor or subcontractor.
11. LENGTH OF AGREEMENT. This AGREEMENT shall remain in effect for one
year after the effective date of the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR CONTRACT
or until cancelled or terminated by either Party pursuant to Section 12 below. If the
MUNICIPALITY terminates this AGREEMENT after the program has commenced
but before the expiration of the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR CONTRACT, it
shall nevertheless remain liable for its share of the ADMINISTRATIVE and
HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS for the one-year term of the
Agreement.
12. COMMENCEMENT OF AGREEMENT. This agreement shall not become
binding upon either party until such time as the COUNTY becomes contractually
obligated or owing to a HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR. Forty-five (45) calendar
days before the COUNTY becomes contractually obligated to the HAZARDOUS
WASTE VENDOR, the COUNTY will send a copy of the proposed HAZARDOUS
WASTE VENDOR contract, to the MUNICIPALITY for review. Along with a copy
of the proposed HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR CONTRACT, the COUNTY will
also send written notice to the MUNICIPALITY of its estimated
ADMINISTRATIVE and HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR COSTS under the
program. If the MUNICIPALITY concludes, in its sole discretion, that the cost of the
program is too high or that indemnification and/or insurance specifications within the
HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR CONTRACT are inadequate, the
MUNICIPALITY shall notify the COUNTY, in writing, within 45 calendar days of
the date of the COUNTY'S notice regarding costs of the program that it will not
participate in the program. The MUNICIPALITY'S participation shall be cancelled

expired under this section, the parties may only terminate this agreement as provided
in Section 12 of this Agreement.

12. 1 The COUNTY reserves the right, at any time before it becomes
contractually obligated to the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR, to
unilaterally cancel this agreement if it determines, in its sole discretion, that
the number of participating MUNICIPALITIES is too small to
economically support the cost of this program.
13. TERMINATION OR CANCELLATION OF AGREEMENT. Once the agreement
commences (as described in section 11 above) and the COUNTY becomes
contractually obligated to the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR, the parties may
only terminate this AGREEMENT as provided below:
13.1 Either Party may terminate or cancel this AGREEMENT for any reason
upon thirty (30) days' notice. The effective date for termination or
cancellation shall be clearly stated in the notice. If the MUNICIPALITY
terminates this AGREEMENT after commencement of the program, it shall
nevertheless remain liable for its share of the ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS
and HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS for the term of this
Agreement.
13.2 The COUNTY may cancel this AGREEMENT at any time should the
MUNICIPALITY "default" on any obligation under this AGREEMENT.
"Default" is defined as the failure of the MUNICIPALITY and/or any
MUNICIPALITY AGENT to fulfill any MUNICIPALITY obligations
under this AGREEMENT. If time permits, but not otherwise, upon default,
the COUNTY shall notify the MUNICIPALITY in writing of any default
and provide the MUNICIPALITY with an opportunity to correct the
situation. If after a reasonable period to cure the default, the
MUNICIPALITY has not corrected the circumstances giving rise to the
notice, the COUNTY may cancel this AGREEMENT and terminate the
MUNICIPALITY'S further participation in this program.
14. SUSPENSION OF SERVICES. Upon notice to the MUNICIPALITY and the NO
HAZ ADVISORY BOARD the COUNTY may immediately suspend this
AGREEMENT if the MUNICIPALITY has failed to reasonably comply, within the
COUNTY'S sole discretion, with federal, state, or local law, or any requirements
contained in this AGREEMENT. The right to suspend services is in addition to the
right to terminate or cancel this AGREEMENT contained in Section 12. The
COUNTY shall not incur penalty, expense, or liability if services are suspended under
this Section.
15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this
AGREEMENT, in no event shall either party be liable for any indirect, incidental,
special or consequential damages, or damages incurred by the other party whether in
any action in contract or tort, whether or not the other Party has been advised of the
possibility of such damages. The COUNTY'S liability for any damages hereunder
shall in no event exceed the total HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS
paid by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. This AGREEMENT is intended to
allocate the risks between the COUNTY and the MUNICIPALITY, and the Parties
agree that the allocation of each Party's efforts, costs, and obligations under this
10
AGREEMENT reflect this allocation of risk and the limitations of liability specified
herein,
15.1 The COUNTY will use its best efforts and judgement in selecting a
qualified and reputable HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR for this

or omissions in the bid specifications, the bid procedure, the bid award
process, the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR contract negotiation
process, the preparation or execution of the HAZARDOUS WASTE
VENDOR contract, or any other errors or mistakes of fact by the COUNTY
in the selection of the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR. The
MUNICIPALITY agrees that at all times and for all purposes under this
AGREEMENT, the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR relationship to the
COUNTY shall be that of an Independent Contractor and not a COUNTY
AGENT as defined herein, The MUNICIPALITY hereby agrees to waive
any CLAIM(S) or liability against the COUNTY based in any manner upon
any act or omission of the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR.

duty, promise, contractual right or benefit, right to indemnification, right to
subrogation, and/or any other right, in favor of any other person or entity.

the prior written consent of the other Party. A delegation, subcontract and/or
assignment made without the prior written consent of the other Party is void.

Party to pursue or enforce any rights or remedies under this AGREEMENT shall
constitute a waiver of those rights with regard to any existing or subsequent breach of
this AGREEMENT. No waiver of any term, condition, or provision of this
AGREEMENT, whether by conduct or otherwise, in one or more instances, shall be
deemed or construed as a continuing waiver of any term, condition, or provision of

and/ or other allowances of reimbursements of any kind, including, but not
limited to, workers' disability compensation benefits, unemployment
compensation, Social Security Act protections and benefits, any employment
taxes and/or any other statutory or contractual right or benefit based on or in
any way related to any MUNICIPALITY AGENT'S employment status or
any alleged violation of any MUNICIPALITY AGENT'S statutory,
contractual, constitutional or civil rights by the MUNICIPALITY, the
COUNTY or any COUNTY AGENT. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the COUNTY from and against any and all
CLAIM(S) which are imposed upon, incurred by, or which are based upon,
result from, or arise from, or are in any way related to any MUNICIPALITY

based rights, including, but not limited to, those described in this Paragraph.
7.6 Neither the MUNICIPALITY nor the COUNTY is responsible for handling or
disposing of household hazardous waste. This function will be performed

8.1 The COUNTY, subject to the terms of this AGREEMENT, will advance
such funds as are necessary to pay the HAZARDOUS WASTE
COLLECTION COSTS and ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS of the
PROGRAM. The MUNICIPALITY shall repay the COUNTY in the
following manner.
6
8.2 The MUNICIPALITY shall repay the COUNTY a percentage of the total
ADMINISTRATIVE COST of the PROGRAM. The MUNICIPALITY'S
share of administrative costs under the program shall be the sum total of two
different calculations. The first calculation, based upon MUNICIPAL
population figures, represents half of the MUNICIPALITIES share of
ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS under the program. This figure shall be based
upon total MUNICIPAL population compared to the overall population of
participating MUNICIPALITIES program-wide. For purposes of illustration
without limitation, if the MUNICIPALITY consists of 1,000 residents and
there are a total of 10,000 MUNICIPAL residents served program-wide, then
the MUNICPALITY would pay 10 (ten) percent of this half of the
PROGRAM'S total ADMINISTRATIVE COST. The second half of the
MUNICIPALITY'S total ADMINISTRATIVE COST shall be the percentage
of total MUNICIPAL participation compared to the overall participation of
residents program-wide. For purposes of illustration without limitation, if
1000 MUNICIPAL residents participate in the program and there are a total of
10,000 MUNICIPAL residents participating program-wide, then the
MUNICIPALITY would pay 10% of this half of the ADMINISTRATIVE
COST.
8.2.1 If a MUNICIPALITY hosts a hazardous waste collection event as
part of this program at one of its own sites, the MUNICIPALITY
shall be reimbursed by the COUNTY out of the program's
administrative budget. The amount of money provided to
reimburse a MUNICIPALITY for hosting a collection event shall
be a set amount and will be determined by the NO HAZ BOARD
once formed. Any expenses incurred by a MUNICIPALITY
which are beyond the amount determined by the NO HAZ
BOARD to be appropriate for a collection event shall be the sole
responsibility of the MUNICIPALITY.
8.3 The MUNICIPALITY shall also repay the COUNTY a portion of the
HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS. The HAZARDOUS
WASTE COLLECTION COST will be all costs paid by the COUNTY to the
HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR for collecting and disposing of a
MUNICIPAL resident's hazardous waste material. The MUNICIPALITY
may cap its HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS by limiting the
number of MUNICIPAL residents that may participate in collection events.
The MUNICIPALITY shall advise the COUNTY of any such limitation upon
MUNICIPAL resident participation.
8.4 The COUNTY shall submit an invoice to the MUNICIPALITY itemizing all
amounts due under this AGREEMENT for its share of ADMINISTRATIVE
and HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS. The MUNICIPALITY
shall pay the invoice submitted to the COUNTY within thirty (30) days after
receipt of the invoice.
8.5 Except as expressly provided in this AGREEMENT, the COUNTY is not
responsible for any cost, fee, fine or penalty incurred by the MUNICIPALITY
in connection with this AGREEMENT.
8.6 MUNICIPALITY'S Failure to Pay
8.6.1 To the maximum extent provided by law, should the
MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY
the amounts required under this AGREEMENT, the COUNTY
Treasurer shall be entitled to set-off and retain any amounts due
the MUNICIPALITY from Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund
("DTRF") or any other source of funds due the MUNICIPALITY
in the possession of the COUNTY, to partially or completely offset
any deficiency by the MUNICIPALITY, unless expressly
prohibited by law. Such a transfer shall be considered an
assignment by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. Further, the
MUNICIPALITY waives any CLAIMS against the COUNTY, or
its officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY.
8.6.2 To the maximum extent provided by law, should the
MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY
the amounts required under this AGREEMENT, the
MUNICIPALITY agrees that upon notice from the Oakland
COUNTY Treasurer to the Treasurer of the State of Michigan (or
any other State of Michigan official authorized to disburse funds to
the MUNICIPALITY), the State of Michigan is authorized to
withhold any funds due the MUNICIPALITY from the State, and
assign those funds to partially or completely offset any deficiency
by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. Such funds shall be
paid directly to the COUNTY. Further, the MUNICIPALITY
waives any CLAIMS against the State or COUNTY, or their
respective officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY.
8.6.3 Neither of these provisions shall operate to limit in any way the
COUNTY'S right to pursue any other legal remedies against the
MUNICIPALITY for the reimbursement of amounts due the
COUNTY under this AGREEMENT. The remedies in this
paragraph are available to the COUNTY on an ongoing and
successive basis, as the MUNICIPALITY becomes delinquent in
its payments.
9. MUNICIPALITY INDEMNIFICATION OF COUNTY.
9.1 The MUNICIPALITY agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the
COUNTY and/or any COUNTY AGENT from any CLAIM(S), loss, or
damage connected to or resulting from any work done by the
MUNICIPALITY and/or any MUNICIPALITY AGENT'S under this
AGREEMENT, unless such loss or damage is caused by the
MUNICIPALITY and/or MUNICIPALITY AGENTS following direct
instructions from COUNTY AGENT(S).
8
10. HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR INDEMNIFICATION OF THE
MUNICIPALITY.
10.1 The COUNTY shall seek the following indemnification for participating
MUNICIPALITIES within the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR
CONTRACT:
10.1.1 "The Contractor will protect, defend and indemnify all
Municipalities participating in the North Oakland County
Household Hazardous Waste Program, together with their officers,
agents, servants, volunteers, and employees from any and all
liabilities, claims, liens, demands, and costs, of whatever kind and
nature which may result in injury or death to any persons, and for
loss or damage to any property, including property owned or in the
care, custody or control of participating MUNICIPALITIES in
connection with or in any way incident to or arising out of the
occupancy, use, service operations, performance, or non-
performance of work in connection with this contract resulting in
whole or in part from negligent acts or omissions of Contractor,
any sub-contractor, or any employee, agent or representative of the
Contractor or subcontractor.
11. LENGTH OF AGREEMENT. This AGREEMENT shall remain in effect for one
year after the effective date of the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR CONTRACT
or until cancelled or terminated by either Party pursuant to Section 12 below. If the
MUNICIPALITY terminates this AGREEMENT after the program has commenced
but before the expiration of the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR CONTRACT, it
shall nevertheless remain liable for its share of the ADMINISTRATIVE and
HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS for the one-year term of the
Agreement.
12. COMMENCEMENT OF AGREEMENT. This agreement shall not become
binding upon either party until such time as the COUNTY becomes contractually
obligated or owing to a HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR. Forty-five (45) calendar
days before the COUNTY becomes contractually obligated to the HAZARDOUS
WASTE VENDOR, the COUNTY will send a copy of the proposed HAZARDOUS
WASTE VENDOR contract, to the MUNICIPALITY for review. Along with a copy
of the proposed HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR CONTRACT, the COUNTY will
also send written notice to the MUNICIPALITY of its estimated
ADMINISTRATIVE and HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR COSTS under the
program. If the MUNICIPALITY concludes, in its sole discretion, that the cost of the
program is too high or that indemnification and/or insurance specifications within the
HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR CONTRACT are inadequate, the
MUNICIPALITY shall notify the COUNTY, in writing, within 45 calendar days of
the date of the COUNTY'S notice regarding costs of the program that it will not
participate in the program. The MUNICIPALITY'S participation shall be cancelled
upon the timely receipt of such notice. After the 45 calendar days notice period has
expired under this section, the parties may only terminate this agreement as provided
in Section 12 of this Agreement.
9
12.1 The COUNTY reserves the right, at any time before it becomes
contractually obligated to the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR, to
unilaterally cancel this agreement if it determines, in its sole discretion, that
the number of participating MUNICIPALITIES is too small to
economically support the cost of this program.
13. TERMINATION OR CANCELLATION OF AGREEMENT, Once the agreement
commences (as described in section 11 above) and the COUNTY becomes
contractually obligated to the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR, the parties may
only terminate this AGREEMENT as provided below:
13.1 Either Party may terminate or cancel this AGREEMENT for any reason
upon thirty (30) days' notice. The effective date for termination or
cancellation shall be clearly stated in the notice. If the MUNICIPALITY
terminates this AGREEMENT after commencement of the program, it shall
nevertheless remain liable for its share of the ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS
and HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS for the term of this
Agreement.
13.2 The COUNTY may cancel this AGREEMENT at any time should the
MUNICIPALITY "default" on any obligation under this AGREEMENT.
"Default" is defined as the failure of the MUNICIPALITY and/or any
MUNICIPALITY AGENT to fulfill any MUNICIPALITY obligations
under this AGREEMENT. If time permits, but not otherwise, upon default,
the COUNTY shall notify the MUNICIPALITY in writing of any default
and provide the MUNICIPALITY with an opportunity to correct the
situation. If after a reasonable period to cure the default, the
MUNICIPALITY has not corrected the circumstances giving rise to the
notice, the COUNTY may cancel this AGREEMENT and terminate the
MUNICIPALITY'S further participation in this program.
14. SUSPENSION OF SERVICES. Upon notice to the MUNICIPALITY and the NO
HAZ ADVISORY BOARD the COUNTY may immediately suspend this
AGREEMENT if the MUNICIPALITY has failed to reasonably comply, within the

right to terminate or cancel this AGREEMENT contained in Section 12. The
COUNTY shall not incur penalty, expense, or liability if services are suspended under
this Section.
15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, Except as expressly provided otherwise in this
AGREEMENT, in no event shall either party be liable for any indirect, incidental,
special or consequential damages, or damages incurred by the other party whether in
any action in contract or tort, whether or not the other Party has been advised of the
possibility of such damages. The COUNTY'S liability for any damages hereunder
shall in no event exceed the total HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS
paid by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. This AGREEMENT is intended to
allocate the risks between the COUNTY and the MUNICIPALITY, and the Parties
agree that the allocation of each Party's efforts, costs, and obligations under this
10
AGREEMENT reflect this allocation of risk and the limitations of liability specified
herein.

and reputable HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR for this program. The

COUNTY for any material defects, errors, mistakes, negligence, or
omissions in the bid specifications, the bid procedure, the bid award
process, the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR contract negotiation
process, the preparation or execution of the HAZARDOUS WASTE
VENDOR contract, or any other errors or mistakes of fact by the COUNTY

COUNTY shall be that of an Independent Contractor and not a COUNTY
AGENT as defined herein. The MUNICIPALITY hereby agrees to waive
any CLAIM(S) or liability against the COUNTY based in any manner upon

beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party. Reasonable notice shall be given
to the affected Party of any such event.

unless previously agreed to by the Parties and specifically listed herein.

assignment made without the prior written consent of the other Party is void.

Party to pursue or enforce any rights or remedies under this AGREEMENT shall
constitute a waiver of those rights with regard to any existing or subsequent breach of
this AGREEMENT. No waiver of any term, condition, or provision of this
AGREEMENT, whether by conduct or otherwise, in one or more instances, shall be
deemed or construed as a continuing waiver of any term, condition, or provision of

to be a COUNTY employee or COUNTY AGENT. The MUNICIPALITY
agrees that it shall be solely and completely liable for any and all
MUNICIPALITY AGENTS' past, present, or future wages, compensation,
overtime wages, expenses, fringe benefits, pension or retirement benefits,
travel expenses, mileage allowances, training expenses, transportation costs,
and/ or other allowances of reimbursements of any kind, including, but not
limited to, workers' disability compensation benefits, unemployment
compensation, Social Security Act protections and benefits, any employment
taxes and/or any other statutory or contractual right or benefit based on or in
any way related to any MUNICIPALITY AGENT'S employment status or
any alleged violation of any MUNICIPALITY AGENT'S statutory,
contractual, constitutional or civil rights by the MUNICIPALITY, the
COUNTY or any COUNTY AGENT. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the COUNTY from and against any and all
CLAIM(S) which are imposed upon, incurred by, or which are based upon,
result from, or arise from, or are in any way related to any MUNICIPALITY
AGENT'S wages, compensation, benefits or other employment-related or
based rights, including, but not limited to, those described in this Paragraph.
7.6 Neither the MUNICIPALITY nor the COUNTY is responsible for handling or
disposing of household hazardous waste. This function will be performed
solely by the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR,
8. FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES.
8.1 The COUNTY. subject to the terms of this AGREEMENT, will advance
such funds as are necessary to pay the HAZARDOUS WASTE
COLLECTION COSTS and ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS of the
PROGRAM. The MUNICIPALITY shall repay the COUNTY in the
following manner.
6
8.2 The MUNICIPALITY shall repay the COUNTY a percentage of the total
ADMINISTRATIVE COST of the PROGRAM. The MUNICIPALITY'S
share of administrative costs under the program shall be the sum total of two
different calculations. The first calculation, based upon MUNICIPAL
population figures, represents half of the MUNICIPALITIES share of
ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS under the program. This figure shall be based
upon total MUNICIPAL population compared to the overall population of
participating MUNICIPALITIES program-wide. For purposes of illustration
without limitation, if the MUNICIPALITY consists of 1,000 residents and
there are a total of 10,000 MUNICIPAL residents served program-wide, then
the MUNICPALITY would pay 10 (ten) percent of this half of the
PROGRAM'S total ADMINISTRATIVE COST. The second half of the
MUNICIPALITY'S total ADMINISTRATIVE COST shall be the percentage
of total MUNICIPAL participation compared to the overall participation of
residents program-wide. For purposes of illustration without limitation, if
1000 MUNICIPAL residents participate in the program and there are a total of
10,000 MUNICIPAL residents participating program-wide, then the
MUNICIPALITY would pay 10% of this half of the ADMINISTRATIVE
COST.
8.2.1 If a MUNICIPALITY hosts a hazardous waste collection event as
part of this program at one of its own sites, the MUNICIPALITY
shall be reimbursed by the COUNTY out of the program's
administrative budget. The amount of money provided to
reimburse a MUNICIPALITY for hosting a collection event shall
be a set amount and will be determined by the NO HAZ BOARD
once formed. Any expenses incurred by a MUNICIPALITY
which are beyond the amount determined by the NO HAZ
BOARD to be appropriate for a collection event shall be the sole
responsibility of the MUNICIPALITY.
8.3 The MUNICIPALITY shall also repay the COUNTY a portion of the
HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS. The HAZARDOUS
WASTE COLLECTION COST will be all costs paid by the COUNTY to the
HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR for collecting and disposing of a
MUNICIPAL resident's hazardous waste material. The MUNICIPALITY
may cap its HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS by limiting the
number of MUNICIPAL residents that may participate in collection events.
The MUNICIPALITY shall advise the COUNTY of any such limitation upon
MUNICIPAL resident participation.
8.4 The COUNTY shall submit an invoice to the MUNICIPALITY itemizing all
amounts due under this AGREEMENT for its share of ADMINISTRATIVE
and HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS. The MUNICIPALITY
shall pay the invoice submitted to the COUNTY within thirty (30) days after
receipt of the invoice.
8.5 Except as expressly provided in this AGREEMENT, the COUNTY is not
responsible for any cost, fee, fine or penalty incurred by the MUNICIPALITY
in connection with this AGREEMENT.
8.6 MUNICIPALITY'S Failure to Pay
8.6.1 To the maximum extent provided by law, should the
MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY
the amounts required under this AGREEMENT, the COUNTY
Treasurer shall be entitled to set-off and retain any amounts due
the MUNICIPALITY from Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund
("DTRF") or any other source of funds due the MUNICIPALITY
in the possession of the COUNTY, to partially or completely offset
any deficiency by the MUNICIPALITY, unless expressly
prohibited by law. Such a transfer shall be considered an
assignment by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. Further, the
MUNICIPALITY waives any CLAIMS against the COUNTY, or
its officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY.
8.6.2 To the maximum extent provided by law, should the
MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY
the amounts required under this AGREEMENT, the
MUNICIPALITY agrees that upon notice from the Oakland
COUNTY Treasurer to the Treasurer of the State of Michigan (or
any other State of Michigan official authorized to disburse funds to
the MUNICIPALITY), the State of Michigan is authorized to
withhold any funds due the MUNICIPALITY from the State, and
assign those funds to partially or completely offset any deficiency
by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. Such funds shall be
paid directly to the COUNTY. Further, the MUNICIPALITY
waives any CLAIMS against the State or COUNTY, or their
respective officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY.
8.6.3 Neither of these provisions shall operate to limit in any way the
COUNTY'S right to pursue any other legal remedies against the
MUNICIPALITY for the reimbursement of amounts due the
COUNTY under this AGREEMENT. The remedies in this
paragraph are available to the COUNTY on an ongoing and
successive basis, as the MUNICIPALITY becomes delinquent in
its payments.
9. MUNICIPALITY INDEMNIFICATION OF COUNTY.
9.1 The MUNICIPALITY agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the
COUNTY and/or any COUNTY AGENT from any CLAIM(S), loss, or
damage connected to or resulting from any work done by the
MUNICIPALITY and/or any MUNICIPALITY AGENT'S under this
AGREEMENT, unless such loss or damage is caused by the
MUNICIPALITY and/or MUNICIPALITY AGENTS following direct
instructions from COUNTY AGENT(S).
8

MUNICIPALITY.

MUNICIPALITIES within the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR
CONTRACT:
10.1.1 "The Contractor will protect, defend and indemnify all
Municipalities participating in the North Oakland County
Household Hazardous Waste Program, together with their officers,
agents, servants, volunteers, and employees from any and all
liabilities, claims, liens, demands, and costs, of whatever kind and
nature which may result in injury or death to any persons, and for
loss or damage to any property, including property owned or in the
care, custody or control of participating MUNICIPALITIES in
connection with or in any way incident to or arising out of the
occupancy, use, service operations, performance, or non-
performance of work in connection with this contract resulting in
whole or in part from negligent acts or omissions of Contractor,
any sub-contractor, or any employee, agent or representative of the
Contractor or subcontractor.
11. LENGTH OF AGREEMENT. This AGREEMENT shall remain in effect for one
year after the effective date of the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR CONTRACT
or until cancelled or terminated by either Party pursuant to Section 12 below. If the
MUNICIPALITY terminates this AGREEMENT after the program has commenced
but before the expiration of the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR CONTRACT, it
shall nevertheless remain liable for its share of the ADMINISTRATIVE and
HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS for the one-year term of the
Agreement.
12. COMMENCEMENT OF AGREEMENT. This agreement shall not become
binding upon either party until such time as the COUNTY becomes contractually
obligated or owing to a HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR. Forty-five (45) calendar
days before the COUNTY becomes contractually obligated to the HAZARDOUS
WASTE VENDOR, the COUNTY will send a copy of the proposed HAZARDOUS
WASTE VENDOR contract, to the MUNICIPALITY for review. Along with a copy
of the proposed HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR CONTRACT, the COUNTY will
also send written notice to the MUNICIPALITY of its estimated
ADMINISTRATIVE and HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR COSTS under the
program. If the MUNICIPALITY concludes, in its sole discretion, that the cost of the
program is too high or that indemnification and/or insurance specifications within the
HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR CONTRACT are inadequate, the
MUNICIPALITY shall notify the COUNTY, in writing, within 45 calendar days of
the date of the COUNTY'S notice regarding costs of the program that it will not
participate in the program. The MUNICIPALITY'S participation shall be cancelled
upon the timely receipt of such notice. After the 45 calendar days notice period has
expired under this section, the parties may only terminate this agreement as provided
in Section 12 of this Agreement.
9
12.1 The COUNTY reserves the right, at any time before it becomes
contractually obligated to the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR, to
unilaterally cancel this agreement if it determines, in its sole discretion, that
the number of participating MUNICIPALITIES is too small to
economically support the cost of this program.
13. TERMINATION OR CANCELLATION OF AGREEMENT. Once the agreement
commences (as described in section 11 above) and the COUNTY becomes
contractually obligated to the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR, the parties may
only terminate this AGREEMENT as provided below:
13.1 Either Party may terminate or cancel this AGREEMENT for any reason
upon thirty (30) days' notice. The effective date for termination or
cancellation shall be clearly stated in the notice. If the MUNICIPALITY
terminates this AGREEMENT after commencement of the program, it shall
nevertheless remain liable for its share of the ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS
and HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS for the term of this
Agreement.
13.2 The COUNTY may cancel this AGREEMENT at any time should the
MUNICIPALITY "default" on any obligation under this AGREEMENT.
"Default" is defined as the failure of the MUNICIPALITY and/or any
MUNICIPALITY AGENT to fulfill any MUNICIPALITY obligations
under this AGREEMENT. If time permits, but not otherwise, upon default,
the COUNTY shall notify the MUNICIPALITY in writing of any default
and provide the MUNICIPALITY with an opportunity to correct the
situation. If after a reasonable period to cure the default, the
MUNICIPALITY has not corrected the circumstances giving rise to the
notice, the COUNTY may cancel this AGREEMENT and terminate the
MUNICIPALITY'S further participation in this program.
14. SUSPENSION OF SERVICES. Upon notice to the MUNICIPALITY and the NO
HAZ ADVISORY BOARD the COUNTY may immediately suspend this
AGREEMENT if the MUNICIPALITY has failed to reasonably comply, within the
COUNTY'S sole discretion, with federal, state, or local law, or any requirements
contained in this AGREEMENT. The right to suspend services is in addition to the
right to terminate or cancel this AGREEMENT contained in Section 12. The
COUNTY shall not incur penalty, expense, or liability if services are suspended under
this Section.
15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this
AGREEMENT, in no event shall either party be liable for any indirect, incidental,
special or consequential damages, or damages incurred by the other party whether in
any action in contract or tort, whether or not the other Party has been advised of the
possibility of such damages. The COUNTY'S liability for any damages hereunder
shall in no event exceed the total HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS
paid by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. This AGREEMENT is intended to
allocate the risks between the COUNTY and the MUNICIPALITY, and the Parties
agree that the allocation of each Party's efforts, costs, and obligations under this
10
AGREEMENT reflect this allocation of risk and the limitations of liability specified
herein.
15.1 The COUNTY will use its best efforts and judgement in selecting a
qualified and reputable HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR for this
program. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to waive any CLAIM(S) or liability
against the COUNTY for any material defects, errors, mistakes, negligence,
or omissions in the bid specifications, the bid procedure, the bid award
process, the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR contract negotiation
process, the preparation or execution of the HAZARDOUS WASTE
VENDOR contract, or any other errors or mistakes of fact by the COUNTY
in the selection of the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR. The
MUNICIPALITY agrees that at all times and for all purposes under this
AGREEMENT, the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR relationship to the
COUNTY shall be that of an Independent Contractor and not a COUNTY
AGENT as defined herein. The MUNICIPALITY hereby agrees to waive
any CLAIM(S) or liability against the COUNTY based in any manner upon
any act or omission of the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR.

legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, or immunity of the Parties.
21. FORCE MAJEURE. Each Party shall be excused from any obligations under this
AGREEMENT during the time and to the extent that a Party is prevented from
performing due to causes beyond such Party's control, including, but not limited to,
an act of God, war, acts of government (other than the Parties'), fire, strike, labor
disputes, civil disturbances, reduction of power source, or any other circumstances

to the affected Party of any such event.

unless previously agreed to by the Parties and specifically listed herein.

subcontract, and/or assign any obligations or rights under this AGREEMENT without
the prior written consent of the other Party. A delegation, subcontract and/or
assignment made without the prior written consent of the other Party is void.

Party to pursue or enforce any rights or remedies under this AGREEMENT shall
constitute a waiver of those rights with regard to any existing or subsequent breach of
this AGREEMENT. No waiver of any term, condition, or provision of this
AGREEMENT, whether by conduct or otherwise, in one or more instances, shall be
deemed or construed as a continuing waiver of any term, condition, or provision of

AGENTS to work at a collection event in accordance with the COLLECTION
SITE PROTOCOL.

travel expenses, mileage allowances, training expenses, transportation costs,
and/ or other allowances of reimbursements of any kind, including, but not
limited to, workers' disability compensation benefits, unemployment
compensation, Social Security Act protections and benefits, any employment
taxes and/or any other statutory or contractual right or benefit based on or in
any way related to any MUNICIPALITY AGENT'S employment status or
any alleged violation of any MUNICIPALITY AGENT'S statutory,
contractual, constitutional or civil rights by the MUNICIPALITY, the
COUNTY or any COUNTY AGENT. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the COUNTY from and against any and all
CLAIM(S) which are imposed upon, incurred by, or which are based upon,
result from, or arise from, or are in any way related to any MUNICIPALITY
AGENT'S wages, compensation, benefits or other employment-related or
based rights, including, but not limited to, those described in this Paragraph.

8.1 The COUNTY, subject to the terms of this AGREEMENT, will advance
such funds as are necessary to pay the HAZARDOUS WASTE
COLLECTION COSTS and ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS of the
PROGRAM. The MUNICIPALITY shall repay the COUNTY in the
following manner.
6
8.2 The MUNICIPALITY shall repay the COUNTY a percentage of the total
ADMINISTRATIVE COST of the PROGRAM. The MUNICIPALITY'S
share of administrative costs under the program shall be the sum total of two
different calculations. The first calculation, based upon MUNICIPAL
population figures, represents half of the MUNICIPALITIES share of
ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS under the program. This figure shall be based
upon total MUNICIPAL population compared to the overall population of
participating MUNICIPALITIES program-wide. For purposes of illustration
without limitation, if the MUNICIPALITY consists of 1,000 residents and
there are a total of 10,000 MUNICIPAL residents served program-wide, then
the MUNICPALITY would pay 10 (ten) percent of this half of the
PROGRAM'S total ADMINISTRATIVE COST. The second half of the
MUNICIPALITY'S total ADMINISTRATIVE COST shall be the percentage
of total MUNICIPAL participation compared to the overall participation of
residents program-wide. For purposes of illustration without limitation, if
1000 MUNICIPAL residents participate in the program and there are a total of
10,000 MUNICIPAL residents participating program-wide, then the
MUNICIPALITY would pay 10% of this half of the ADMINISTRATIVE
COST.
8.2.1 If a MUNICIPALITY hosts a hazardous waste collection event as
part of this program at one of its own sites, the MUNICIPALITY
shall be reimbursed by the COUNTY out of the program's
administrative budget. The amount of money provided to
reimburse a MUNICIPALITY for hosting a collection event shall
be a set amount and will be determined by the NO HAZ BOARD
once formed. Any expenses incurred by a MUNICIPALITY
which are beyond the amount determined by the NO HAZ
BOARD to be appropriate for a collection event shall be the sole
responsibility of the MUNICIPALITY.
8.3 The MUNICIPALITY shall also repay the COUNTY a portion of the
HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS. The HAZARDOUS
WASTE COLLECTION COST will be all costs paid by the COUNTY to the
HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR for collecting and disposing of a
MUNICIPAL resident's hazardous waste material. The MUNICIPALITY
may cap its HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS by limiting the
number of MUNICIPAL residents that may participate in collection events.
The MUNICIPALITY shall advise the COUNTY of any such limitation upon
MUNICIPAL resident participation.
8.4 The COUNTY shall submit an invoice to the MUNICIPALITY itemizing all
amounts due under this AGREEMENT for its share of ADMINISTRATIVE
and HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS. The MUNICIPALITY
shall pay the invoice submitted to the COUNTY within thirty (30) days after
receipt of the invoice.
7
8.5 Except as expressly provided in this AGREEMENT, the COUNTY is not
responsible for any cost, fee, fine or penalty incurred by the MUNICIPALITY
in connection with this AGREEMENT.
8.6 MUNICIPALITY'S Failure to Pay
8.6.1 To the maximum extent provided by law, should the
MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY
the amounts required under this AGREEMENT, the COUNTY
Treasurer shall be entitled to set-off and retain any amounts due
the MUNICIPALITY from Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund
("DTRF") or any other source of funds due the MUNICIPALITY
in the possession of the COUNTY, to partially or completely offset
any deficiency by the MUNICIPALITY, unless expressly
prohibited by law. Such a transfer shall be considered an
assignment by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. Further, the
MUNICIPALITY waives any CLAIMS against the COUNTY, or
its officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY.
8.6.2 To the maximum extent provided by law, should the
MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY
the amounts required under this AGREEMENT, the
MUNICIPALITY agrees that upon notice from the Oakland
COUNTY Treasurer to the Treasurer of the State of Michigan (or
any other State of Michigan official authorized to disburse funds to
the MUNICIPALITY), the State of Michigan is authorized to
withhold any funds due the MUNICIPALITY from the State, and
assign those funds to partially or completely offset any deficiency
by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. Such funds shall be
paid directly to the COUNTY. Further, the MUNICIPALITY
waives any CLAIMS against the State or COUNTY, or their
respective officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY.
8.6.3 Neither of these provisions shall operate to limit in any way the
COUNTY'S right to pursue any other legal remedies against the
MUNICIPALITY for the reimbursement of amounts due the
COUNTY under this AGREEMENT. The remedies in this
paragraph are available to the COUNTY on an ongoing and
successive basis, as the MUNICIPALITY becomes delinquent in
its payments.
9. MUNICIPALITY INDEMNIFICATION OF COUNTY.
9.1 The MUNICIPALITY agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the
COUNTY and/or any COUNTY AGENT from any CLAIM(S), loss, or
damage connected to or resulting from any work done by the
MUNICIPALITY and/or any MUNICIPALITY AGENT'S under this
AGREEMENT, unless such loss or damage is caused by the
MUNICIPALITY and/or MUNICIPALITY AGENTS following direct
instructions from COUNTY AGENT(S).

agents, servants, volunteers, and employees from any and all
liabilities, claims, liens, demands, and costs, of whatever kind and
nature which may result in injury or death to any persons, and for
loss or damage to any property, including property owned or in the
care, custody or control of participating MUNICIPALITIES in
connection with or in any way incident to or arising out of the
occupancy, use, service operations, performance, or non-
performance of work in connection with this contract resulting in
whole or in part from negligent acts or omissions of Contractor,
any sub-contractor, or any employee, agent or representative of the
Contractor or subcontractor.
11. LENGTH OF AGREEMENT. This AGREEMENT shall remain in effect for one
year after the effective date of the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR CONTRACT
or until cancelled or terminated by either Party pursuant to Section 12 below. If the
MUNICIPALITY terminates this AGREEMENT after the program has commenced
but before the expiration of the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR CONTRACT, it
shall nevertheless remain liable for its share of the ADMINISTRATIVE and
HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS for the one-year term of the
Agreement.
12. COMMENCEMENT OF AGREEMENT. This agreement shall not become
binding upon either party until such time as the COUNTY becomes contractually
obligated or owing to a HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR. Forty-five (45) calendar
days before the COUNTY becomes contractually obligated to the HAZARDOUS
WASTE VENDOR, the COUNTY will send a copy of the proposed HAZARDOUS
WASTE VENDOR contract, to the MUNICIPALITY for review. Along with a copy
of the proposed HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR CONTRACT, the COUNTY will
also send written notice to the MUNICIPALITY of its estimated
ADMINISTRATIVE and HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR COSTS under the
program. If the MUNICIPALITY concludes, in its sole discretion, that the cost of the
program is too high or that indemnification and/or insurance specifications within the
HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR CONTRACT are inadequate, the
MUNICIPALITY shall notify the COUNTY, in writing, within 45 calendar days of
the date of the COUNTY'S notice regarding costs of the program that it will not
participate in the program. The MUNICIPALITY'S participation shall be cancelled
upon the timely receipt of such notice. After the 45 calendar days notice period has
expired under this section, the parties may only terminate this agreement as provided
in Section 12 of this Agreement.
9
12.1 The COUNTY reserves the right, at any time before it becomes
contractually obligated to the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR, to
unilaterally cancel this agreement if it determines, in its sole discretion, that
the number of participating MUNICIPALITIES is too small to
economically support the cost of this program.
13. TERMINATION OR CANCELLATION OF AGREEMENT. Once the agreement
commences (as described in section 11 above) and the COUNTY becomes
contractually obligated to the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR, the parties may
only terminate this AGREEMENT as provided below:
13.1 Either Party may terminate or cancel this AGREEMENT for any reason
upon thirty (30) days' notice. The effective date for termination or
cancellation shall be clearly stated in the notice. If the MUNICIPALITY
terminates this AGREEMENT after commencement of the program, it shall
nevertheless remain liable for its share of the ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS
and HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS for the term of this
Agreement.
13.2 The COUNTY may cancel this AGREEMENT at any time should the
MUNICIPALITY "default" on any obligation under this AGREEMENT.
"Default" is defined as the failure of the MUNICIPALITY and/or any
MUNICIPALITY AGENT to fulfill any MUNICIPALITY obligations
under this AGREEMENT. If time permits, but not otherwise, upon default,
the COUNTY shall notify the MUNICIPALITY in writing of any default
and provide the MUNICIPALITY with an opportunity to correct the
situation. If after a reasonable period to cure the default, the
MUNICIPALITY has not corrected the circumstances giving rise to the
notice, the COUNTY may cancel this AGREEMENT and terminate the
MUNICIPALITY'S further participation in this program.
14. SUSPENSION OF SERVICES. Upon notice to the MUNICIPALITY and the NO
HAZ ADVISORY BOARD the COUNTY may immediately suspend this
AGREEMENT if the MUNICIPALITY has failed to reasonably comply, within the

right to terminate or cancel this AGREEMENT contained in Section 12. The
COUNTY shall not incur penalty, expense, or liability if services are suspended under
this Section.
15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this
AGREEMENT, in no event shall either party be liable for any indirect, incidental,
special or consequential damages, or damages incurred by the other party whether in
any action in contract or tort, whether or not the other Party has been advised of the
possibility of such damages. The COUNTY'S liability for any damages hereunder
shall in no event exceed the total HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS
paid by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. This AGREEMENT is intended to
allocate the risks between the COUNTY and the MUNICIPALITY, and the Parties
agree that the allocation of each Party's efforts, costs, and obligations under this
10
AGREEMENT reflect this allocation of risk and the limitations of liability specified

15.1 The COUNTY will use its best efforts and judgement in selecting a
qualified and reputable HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR for this
program. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to waive any CLAIM(S) or liability
against the COUNTY for any material defects, errors, mistakes, negligence,
or omissions in the bid specifications, the bid procedure, the bid award
process, the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR contract negotiation
process, the preparation or execution of the HAZARDOUS WASTE
VENDOR contract, or any other errors or mistakes of fact by the COUNTY

AGREEMENT during the time and to the extent that a Party is prevented from

to the affected Party of any such event.

unless previously agreed to by the Parties and specifically listed herein.

subcontract, and/or assign any obligations or rights under this AGREEMENT without
the prior written consent of the other Party. A delegation, subcontract and/or
assignment made without the prior written consent of the other Party is void.

Party to pursue or enforce any rights or remedies under this AGREEMENT shall
constitute a waiver of those rights with regard to any existing or subsequent breach of
this AGREEMENT. No waiver of any term, condition, or provision of this
AGREEMENT, whether by conduct or otherwise, in one or more instances, shall be
deemed or construed as a continuing waiver of any term, condition, or provision of

MUNICIPALITY AGENTS' past, present, or future wages, compensation,

travel expenses, mileage allowances, training expenses, transportation costs,
and/ or other allowances of reimbursements of any kind, including, but not
limited to, workers' disability compensation benefits, unemployment
compensation, Social Security Act protections and benefits, any employment
taxes and/or any other statutory or contractual right or benefit based on or in
any way related to any MUNICIPALITY AGENT'S employment status or
any alleged violation of any MUNICIPALITY AGENT'S statutory,
contractual, constitutional or civil rights by the MUNICIPALITY, the
COUNTY or any COUNTY AGENT. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the COUNTY from and against any and all
CLAIM(S) which are imposed upon, incurred by, or which are based upon,
result from, or arise from, or are in any way related to any MUNICIPALITY
AGENT'S wages, compensation, benefits or other employment-related or
based rights, including, but not limited to, those described in this Paragraph.
7.6 Neither the MUNICIPALITY nor the COUNTY is responsible for handling or
disposing of household hazardous waste. This function will be performed

8. FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES.
8.1 The COUNTY, subject to the terms of this AGREEMENT, will advance
such funds as are necessary to pay the HAZARDOUS WASTE
COLLECTION COSTS and ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS of the
PROGRAM. The MUNICIPALITY shall repay the COUNTY in the
following manner.
6
8.2 The MUNICIPALITY shall repay the COUNTY a percentage of the total
ADMINISTRATIVE COST of the PROGRAM. The MUNICIPALITY'S
share of administrative costs under the program shall be the sum total of two
different calculations. The first calculation, based upon MUNICIPAL
population figures, represents half of the MUNICIPALITIES share of
ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS under the program. This figure shall be based
upon total MUNICIPAL population compared to the overall population of
participating MUNICIPALITIES program-wide. For purposes of illustration
without limitation, if the MUNICIPALITY consists of 1,000 residents and
there are a total of 10,000 MUNICIPAL residents served program-wide, then
the MUNICPALITY would pay 10 (ten) percent of this half of the
PROGRAM'S total ADMINISTRATIVE COST. The second half of the
MUNICIPALITY'S total ADMINISTRATIVE COST shall be the percentage
of total MUNICIPAL participation compared to the overall participation of
residents program-wide. For purposes of illustration without limitation, if
1000 MUNICIPAL residents participate in the program and there are a total of
10,000 MUNICIPAL residents participating program-wide, then the
MUNICIPALITY would pay 10% of this half of the ADMINISTRATIVE
COST.
8.2.1 If a MUNICIPALITY hosts a hazardous waste collection event as
part of this program at one of its own sites, the MUNICIPALITY
shall be reimbursed by the COUNTY out of the program's
administrative budget. The amount of money provided to
reimburse a MUNICIPALITY for hosting a collection event shall
be a set amount and will be determined by the NO HAZ BOARD
once formed. Any expenses incurred by a MUNICIPALITY
which are beyond the amount determined by the NO HAZ
BOARD to be appropriate for a collection event shall be the sole
responsibility of the MUNICIPALITY.
8.3 The MUNICIPALITY shall also repay the COUNTY a portion of the
HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS. The HAZARDOUS
WASTE COLLECTION COST will be all costs paid by the COUNTY to the
HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR for collecting and disposing of a
MUNICIPAL resident's hazardous waste material. The MUNICIPALITY
may cap its HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS by limiting the
number of MUNICIPAL residents that may participate in collection events.
The MUNICIPALITY shall advise the COUNTY of any such limitation upon
MUNICIPAL resident participation.
8.4 The COUNTY shall submit an invoice to the MUNICIPALITY itemizing all
amounts due under this AGREEMENT for its share of ADMINISTRATIVE
and HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS. The MUNICIPALITY
shall pay the invoice submitted to the COUNTY within thirty (30) days after
receipt of the invoice.
7
8.5 Except as expressly provided in this AGREEMENT, the COUNTY is not
responsible for any cost, fee, fine or penalty incurred by the MUNICIPALITY
in connection with this AGREEMENT.
8.6 MUNICIPALITY'S Failure to Pay
8.6.1 To the maximum extent provided by law, should the
MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY
the amounts required under this AGREEMENT, the COUNTY
Treasurer shall be entitled to set-off and retain any amounts due
the MUNICIPALITY from Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund
("DTRF") or any other source of funds due the MUNICIPALITY
in the possession of the COUNTY, to partially or completely offset
any deficiency by the MUNICIPALITY, unless expressly
prohibited by law. Such a transfer shall be considered an
assignment by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. Further, the
MUNICIPALITY waives any CLAIMS against the COUNTY, or
its officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY.
8.6.2 To the maximum extent provided by law, should the
MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY
the amounts required under this AGREEMENT, the
MUNICIPALITY agrees that upon notice from the Oakland
COUNTY Treasurer to the Treasurer of the State of Michigan (or
any other State of Michigan official authorized to disburse funds to
the MUNICIPALITY), the State of Michigan is authorized to
withhold any funds due the MUNICIPALITY from the State, and
assign those funds to partially or completely offset any deficiency
by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. Such funds shall be
paid directly to the COUNTY. Further, the MUNICIPALITY
waives any CLAIMS against the State or COUNTY, or their
respective officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY.
8.6.3 Neither of these provisions shall operate to limit in any way the
COUNTY'S right to pursue any other legal remedies against the
MUNICIPALITY for the reimbursement of amounts due the
COUNTY under this AGREEMENT. The remedies in this
paragraph are available to the COUNTY on an ongoing and
successive basis, as the MTJNICIPALITY becomes delinquent in
its payments.
9. MUNICIPALITY INDEMNIFICATION OF COUNTY.
9.1 The MUNICIPALITY agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the
COUNTY and/or any COUNTY AGENT from any CLAIM(S), loss, or
damage connected to or resulting from any work done by the
MUNICIPALITY and/or any MUNICIPALITY AGENT'S under this
AGREEMENT, unless such loss or damage is caused by the
MUNICIPALITY and/or MUNICIPALITY AGENTS following direct
instructions from COUNTY AGENT(S).
8
10. HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR INDEMNIFICATION OF THE
MUNICIPALITY.
10.1 The COUNTY shall seek the following indemnification for participating
MUNICIPALITIES within the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR
CONTRACT:
10.1.1 "The Contractor will protect, defend and indemnify all
Municipalities participating in the North Oakland County
Household Hazardous Waste Program, together with their officers,
agents, servants, volunteers, and employees from any and all
liabilities, claims, liens, demands, and costs, of whatever kind and
nature which may result in injury or death to any persons, and for
loss or damage to any property, including property owned or in the
care, custody or control of participating MUNICIPALITIES in
connection with or in any way incident to or arising out of the
occupancy, use, service operations, performance, or non-
performance of work in connection with this contract resulting in
whole or in part from negligent acts or omissions of Contractor,
any sub-contractor, or any employee, agent or representative of the
Contractor or subcontractor.
11. LENGTH OF AGREEMENT. This AGREEMENT shall remain in effect for one
year after the effective date of the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR CONTRACT
or until cancelled or terminated by either Party pursuant to Section 12 below. If the
MUNICIPALITY terminates this AGREEMENT after the program has commenced
but before the expiration of the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR CONTRACT, it
shall nevertheless remain liable for its share of the ADMINISTRATIVE and
HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS for the one-year term of the
Agreement.
12. COMMENCEMENT OF AGREEMENT. This agreement shall not become
binding upon either party until such time as the COUNTY becomes contractually
obligated or owing to a HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR. Forty-five (45) calendar
days before the COUNTY becomes contractually obligated to the HAZARDOUS
WASTE VENDOR, the COUNTY will send a copy of the proposed HAZARDOUS
WASTE VENDOR contract, to the MUNICIPALITY for review. Along with a copy
of the proposed HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR CONTRACT, the COUNTY will
also send written notice to the MUNICIPALITY of its estimated
ADMINISTRATIVE and HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR COSTS under the
program. If the MUNICIPALITY concludes, in its sole discretion, that the cost of the
program is too high or that indemnification and/or insurance specifications within the
HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR CONTRACT are inadequate, the
MUNICIPALITY shall notify the COUNTY, in writing, within 45 calendar days of
the date of the COUNTY'S notice regarding costs of the program that it will not
participate in the program. The MUNICIPALITY'S participation shall be cancelled
upon the timely receipt of such notice. After the 45 calendar days notice period has
expired under this section, the parties may only terminate this agreement as provided
in Section 12 of this Agreement.
9
12.1 The COUNTY reserves the right, at any time before it becomes
contractually obligated to the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR, to
unilaterally cancel this agreement if it determines, in its sole discretion, that
the number of participating MUNICIPALITIES is too small to
economically support the cost of this program.
13. TERMINATION OR CANCELLATION OF AGREEMENT. Once the agreement
commences (as described in section 11 above) and the COUNTY becomes
contractually obligated to the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR, the parties may
only terminate this AGREEMENT as provided below:
13.1 Either Party may terminate or cancel this AGREEMENT for any reason
upon thirty (30) days' notice. The effective date for termination or
cancellation shall be clearly stated in the notice. If the MUNICIPALITY
terminates this AGREEMENT after commencement of the program, it shall
nevertheless remain liable for its share of the ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS
and HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS for the term of this
Agreement.
13.2 The COUNTY may cancel this AGREEMENT at any time should the
MUNICIPALITY "default" on any obligation under this AGREEMENT.
"Default" is defined as the failure of the MUNICIPALITY and/or any
MUNICIPALITY AGENT to fulfill any MUNICIPALITY obligations
under this AGREEMENT. If time permits, but not otherwise, upon default,
the COUNTY shall notify the MUNICIPALITY in writing of any default
and provide the MUNICIPALITY with an opportunity to correct the
situation. If after a reasonable period to cure the default, the
MUNICIPALITY has not corrected the circumstances giving rise to the
notice, the COUNTY may cancel this AGREEMENT and terminate the
MUNICIPALITY'S further participation in this program.
14. SUSPENSION OF SERVICES. Upon notice to the MUNICIPALITY and the NO
HAZ ADVISORY BOARD the COUNTY may immediately suspend this
AGREEMENT if the MUNICIPALITY has failed to reasonably comply, within the
COUNTY'S sole discretion, with federal, state, or local law, or any requirements
contained in this AGREEMENT. The right to suspend services is in addition to the
right to terminate or cancel this AGREEMENT contained in Section 12. The
COUNTY shall not incur penalty, expense, or liability if services are suspended under
this Section.
15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this
AGREEMENT, in no event shall either party be liable for any indirect, incidental,
special or consequential damages, or damages incurred by the other party whether in
any action in contract or tort, whether or not the other Party has been advised of the
possibility of such damages. The COUNTY'S liability for any damages hereunder
shall in no event exceed the total HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS
paid by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. This AGREEMENT is intended to
allocate the risks between the COUNTY and the MUNICIPALITY, and the Parties
agree that the allocation of each Party's efforts, costs, and obligations under this
10
AGREEMENT reflect this allocation of risk and the limitations of liability specified
herein.
15.1 The COUNTY will use its best efforts and judgement in selecting a
qualified and reputable HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR for this
program. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to waive any CLAIM(S) or liability
against the COUNTY for any material defects, errors, mistakes, negligence,
or omissions in the bid specifications, the bid procedure, the bid award
process, the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR contract negotiation
process, the preparation or execution of the HAZARDOUS WASTE
VENDOR contract, or any other errors or mistakes of fact by the COUNTY
in the selection of the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR. The
MUNICIPALITY agrees that at all times and for all purposes under this
AGREEMENT, the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR relationship to the
COUNTY shall be that of an Independent Contractor and not a COUNTY
AGENT as defined herein. The MUNICIPALITY hereby agrees to waive
any CLAIM(S) or liability against the COUNTY based in any manner upon
any act or omission of the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR.

subrogation, and/or any other right, in favor of any other person or entity.

AGENTS, applicants for employment, or another persons or entities with respect to
hire, tenure, terms, conditions, and privileges of employment, or any matter directly
or indirectly related to employment in violation of any federal, state or local law.

legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, or immunity of the Parties.
21. FORCE MAJEURE, Each Party shall be excused from any obligations under this
AGREEMENT during the time and to the extent that a Party is prevented from
performing due to causes beyond such Party's control, including, but not limited to,
an act of God, war, acts of government (other than the Parties'), fire, strike, labor
disputes, civil disturbances, reduction of power source, or any other circumstances

this AGREEMENT. No waiver of any term, condition, or provision of this
AGREEMENT, whether by conduct or otherwise, in one or more instances, shall be
deemed or construed as a continuing waiver of any term, condition, or provision of

indemnify and hold harmless the COUNTY from and against any and all
CLAIM(S) which are imposed upon, incurred by, or which are based upon,

COLLECTION COSTS and ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS of the
6
PROGRAM. The MUNICIPALITY shall repay the COUNTY in the
following manner.
8.2 The MUNICIPALITY shall repay the COUNTY a percentage of the total
ADMINISTRATIVE COST of the PROGRAM. The MUNICIPALITY'S
share of administrative costs under the program shall be the sum total of two
different calculations. The first calculation, based upon MUNICIPAL
population figures, represents half of the MUNICIPALITIES share of
ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS under the program. This figure shall be based
upon total MUNICIPAL population compared to the overall population of
participating MUNICIPALITIES program-wide. For purposes of illustration
without limitation, if the MUNICIPALITY consists of 1,000 residents and
there are a total of 10,000 MUNICIPAL residents served program-wide, then
the MUNICPALITY would pay 10 (ten) percent of this half of the
PROGRAM'S total ADMINISTRATIVE COST. The second half of the
MUNICIPALITY'S total ADMINISTRATIVE COST shall be the percentage
of total MUNICIPAL participation compared to the overall participation of
residents program-wide. For purposes of illustration without limitation, if
1000 MUNICIPAL residents participate in the program and there are a total of
10,000 MUNICIPAL residents participating program-wide, then the
MUNICIPALITY would pay 10% of this half of the ADMINISTRATIVE
COST.
8.2.1 If a MUNICIPALITY hosts a hazardous waste collection event as
part of this program at one of its own sites, the MUNICIPALITY
shall be reimbursed by the COUNTY out of the program's
administrative budget. The amount of money provided to
reimburse a MUNICIPALITY for hosting a collection event shall
be a set amount and will be determined by the NO HAZ BOARD
once formed. Any expenses incurred by a MUNICIPALITY
which are beyond the amount determined by the NO HAZ
BOARD to be appropriate for a collection event shall be the sole
responsibility of the MUNICIPALITY.
8.3 The MUNICIPALITY shall also repay the COUNTY a portion of the
HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS. The HAZARDOUS
WASTE COLLECTION COST will be all costs paid by the COUNTY to the
HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR for collecting and disposing of a
MUNICIPAL resident's hazardous waste material. The MUNICIPALITY
may cap its HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS by limiting the
number of MUNICIPAL residents that may participate in collection events.
The MUNICIPALITY shall advise the COUNTY of any such limitation upon
MUNICIPAL resident participation.
8.4 The COUNTY shall submit an invoice to the MUNICIPALITY itemizing all
amounts due under this AGREEMENT for its share of ADMINISTRATIVE
and HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS. The MUNICIPALITY
shall pay the invoice submitted to the COUNTY within thirty (30) days after
receipt of the invoice.
7
8.5 Except as expressly provided in this AGREEMENT, the COUNTY is not
responsible for any cost, fee, fine or penalty incurred by the MUNICIPALITY
in connection with this AGREEMENT.
8.6 MUNICIPALITY'S Failure to Pay
8.6.1 To the maximum extent provided by law, should the
MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY
the amounts required under this AGREEMENT, the COUNTY
Treasurer shall be entitled to set-off and retain any amounts due
the MUNICIPALITY from Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund
("DTRF") or any other source of funds due the MUNICIPALITY
in the possession of the COUNTY, to partially or completely offset
any deficiency by the MUNICIPALITY, unless expressly
prohibited by law. Such a transfer shall be considered an
assignment by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. Further, the
MUNICIPALITY waives any CLAIMS against the COUNTY, or
its officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY.
8.6.2 To the maximum extent provided by law, should the
MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY
the amounts required under this AGREEMENT, the
MUNICIPALITY agrees that upon notice from the Oakland
COUNTY Treasurer to the Treasurer of the State of Michigan (or
any other State of Michigan official authorized to disburse funds to
the MUNICIPALITY), the State of Michigan is authorized to
withhold any funds due the MUNICIPALITY from the State, and
assign those funds to partially or completely offset any deficiency
by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. Such funds shall be
paid directly to the COUNTY. Further, the MUNICIPALITY
waives any CLAIMS against the State or COUNTY, or their
respective officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY.
8.6.3 Neither of these provisions shall operate to limit in any way the
COUNTY'S right to pursue any other legal remedies against the
MUNICIPALITY for the reimbursement of amounts due the
COUNTY under this AGREEMENT. The remedies in this
paragraph are available to the COUNTY on an ongoing and
successive basis, as the MUNICIPALITY becomes delinquent in
its payments.
9. MUNICIPALITY INDEMNIFICATION OF COUNTY.
9.1 The MUNICIPALITY agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the
COUNTY and/or any COUNTY AGENT from any CLAIM(S), loss, or
damage connected to or resulting from any work done by the
MUNICIPALITY and/or any MUNICIPALITY AGENT'S under this
AGREEMENT, unless such loss or damage is caused by the
MUNICIPALITY and/or MUNICIPALITY AGENTS following direct
instructions from COUNTY AGENT(S).
8
10. HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR INDEMNIFICATION OF THE
MUNICIPALITY.
10.1 The COUNTY shall seek the following indemnification for participating
MUNICIPALITIES within the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR
CONTRACT:
10.1.1 "The Contractor will protect, defend and indemnify all
Municipalities participating in the North Oakland County
Household Hazardous Waste Program, together with their officers,
agents, servants, volunteers, and employees from any and all
liabilities, claims, liens, demands, and costs, of whatever kind and
nature which may result in injury or death to any persons, and for
loss or damage to any property, including property owned or in the
care, custody or control of participating MUNICIPALITIES in
connection with or in any way incident to or arising out of the
occupancy, use, service operations, performance, or non-
performance of work in connection with this contract resulting in
whole or in part from negligent acts or omissions of Contractor,
any sub-contractor, or any employee, agent or representative of the
Contractor or subcontractor.
11. LENGTH OF AGREEMENT. This AGREEMENT shall remain in effect for one
year after the effective date of the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR CONTRACT
or until cancelled or terminated by either Party pursuant to Section 12 below. If the
MUNICIPALITY terminates this AGREEMENT after the program has commenced
but before the expiration of the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR CONTRACT, it
shall nevertheless remain liable for its share of the ADMINISTRATIVE and
HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS for the one-year term of the
Agreement.
12. COMMENCEMENT OF AGREEMENT. This agreement shall not become
binding upon either party until such time as the COUNTY becomes contractually
obligated or owing to a HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR. Forty-five (45) calendar
days before the COUNTY becomes contractually obligated to the HAZARDOUS
WASTE VENDOR, the COUNTY will send a copy of the proposed HAZARDOUS
WASTE VENDOR contract, to the MUNICIPALITY for review. Along with a copy
of the proposed HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR CONTRACT, the COUNTY will
also send written notice to the MUNICIPALITY of its estimated
ADMINISTRATIVE and HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR COSTS under the
program. If the MUNICIPALITY concludes, in its sole discretion, that the cost of the
program is too high or that indemnification and/or insurance specifications within the

provided in Section 12 of this Agreement.
12.1 The COUNTY reserves the right, at any time before it becomes

unilaterally cancel this agreement if it determines, in its sole discretion, that
the number of participating MUNICIPALITIES is too small to
economically support the cost of this program.

commences (as described in section 11 above) and the COUNTY becomes
contractually obligated to the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR, the parties may
only terminate this AGREEMENT as provided below:
13.1 Either Party may terminate or cancel this AGREEMENT for any reason
upon thirty (30) days' notice. The effective date for termination or

MUNICIPALITY AGENT to fulfill any MUNICIPALITY obligations
under this AGREEMENT. If time permits, but not otherwise, upon default,
the COUNTY shall notify the MUNICIPALITY in writing of any default
and provide the MUNICIPALITY with an opportunity to correct the
situation. If after a reasonable period to cure the default, the
MUNICIPALITY has not corrected the circumstances giving rise to the
notice, the COUNTY may cancel this AGREEMENT and terminate the
MUNICIPALITY'S further participation in this program.
14. SUSPENSION OF SERVICES. Upon notice to the MUNICIPALITY and the NO
HAZ ADVISORY BOARD the COUNTY may immediately suspend this
AGREEMENT if the MUNICIPALITY has failed to reasonably comply, within the

right to terminate or cancel this AGREEMENT contained in Section 12. The
COUNTY shall not incur penalty, expense, or liability if services are suspended under
this Section.

AGREEMENT, in no event shall either party be liable for any indirect, incidental,

possibility of such damages. The COUNTY'S liability for any damages hereunder
shall in no event exceed the total HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS
paid by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY.

VENDOR contract, or any other errors or mistakes of fact by the COUNTY
in the selection of the HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR. The

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CLERK TO SUBMIT GRANT APPLICATION
WHEREAS, the Waterford Township Board wishes to apply to the Michigan Secretary of State
for a grant to purchase an optical scan voting system and related election management system
software to comply with the Help America Vote Act (HAVA);
WHEREAS, the Waterford Township Board has chosen to submit a grant application for a new
optical scan voting system in 2005;
WHEREAS, the Oakland County Clerk must have this resolution as proof of authority for
entering into upcoming grant agreements with the State by the end of January, 2005 in order to
meet the wishes of the majority of the local clerks in this county that Oakland County qualify for
ordering the new voting system in the 051 order period in early February, 2005;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Waterford Township Clerk is authorized to
submit the grant application on behalf of the Township of Waterford, Oakland County, on this
tenth day of January, 2005.
Moved by Minton,
Supported by O'Shea, RESOLVED, to approve the foregoing resolution authorizing the Clerk to

A Lot Split for 3390 Floretta had been denied and was on the agenda for consideration/appeal.
Community Planning and Development Division Head Larry Lockwood presented the following:
As you may recall, this appeal came before the Township Board on December 13, 2004.
Discussion occurred regarding the fact that the proposal to split off an additional parcel
from this property did not meet minimum ordinance requirements.
3
The property and surrounding area is zoned R-1A, Single Family Residential District and
requires an average lot width of 70 ft. for a newly created parcel. In addition, the
Nttn,utes of Township Board meeting, held January 10, 2005
Lockwood memo continued:
maximum depth to width ratio for any newly created parcel shall not exceed 3:1. Section
15-105, Article V, Platted Lot Splits states that in no event shall the officials designated
herein (the administrative review committee) approve the division or the partitioning of
any such lots into more than four (4) parts, each of which shall, in regards to width,
depth and area, conform to the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance.
Another ordinance provision for this district requires a minimum sideyard setback of 10
feet from a dwelling unit to a side property line. The original survey showed a proposal
for a 65 ft. wide parcel (Parcel "A") along with the required sideyard setback from the
existing home of 10 ft. The applicant has now prepared a revised drawing showing
proposed Parcel "A" to have an average width of 70 ft. but, with a sideyard setback from
the existing home to the proposed property line of 5 ft. This decrease to 5 ft. would
require a variance from the Zoning board of Appeals.
It should be noted that although the proposed parcel still does not meet the maximum
depth to width ratio, the split as proposed would be in character with developed lots or
parcels on the same side of Floretta. Therefore, staff would not be opposed to granting
the necessary variance regarding the depth to width ratio.
However, if it is the Township Board's decision to grant the creation of this new parcel, it
should be done with the stipulation that the approval is contingent upon the applicant
receiving the necessary variances involving the proposed reduced sideyard setback
from the Zoning Board of Appeals. The following draft motion of approval is provided
for your consideration:
Draft Motion of Approval:
To grant the appeal of the administrative denial of the proposed lot split for 3390 Floretta
conditioned upon the applicant applying for and receiving all necessary variances
relative to the proposed sideyard setback from the existing home to the newly created
property line.
If however, the ZBA does not grant the necessary variances, the lot split denial would be
upheld. Staff will be in attendance at Monday's meeting to answer any questions that
may arise. As always, if you have nay questions in advance of the meeting, please feel
free to contact this office.
Moved by Fortino,
Supported by O'Shea, RESOLVED, to grant the appeal of the administrative denial of the
proposed lot split for 3390 Floretta conditioned upon the applicant applying for and receiving all
necessary variances relative to the proposed side yard setback from the existing home to the
newly created property line.
Motion carried unanimously.

Supervisor So!den presented the following memo:
Please place on the agenda for the January 10, 2005 Township Board Meeting the following:

Fiscal and Human Resource Director Rob Seeterlin presented the following:
Attached is a resolution authorizing a study group to explore the possibility of
transferring the 51 st District Court to Oakland County. A similar resolution is being
presented to the Board of Commissioners. In our preliminary discussions with County
Administrators, we discussed the political feasibility of making the transfer. As the
resolution points out the process involves agreement by the Township and County as
well as the eventual approval of the State Legislature and Governor. Based on this, I
believe it is best to have both the County and Township Board's approve the formation
of the study group.
I recommend that the Township appoint the Court Administrator and myself to the study
group. The Board may also want to appoint a member of the Township Board to
participate in the research and study group meetings.
The appointment of the study group in no way authorizes or approves the transfer. The
group is tasked with evaluating the complex financial and policy issues involved with the
transfer and reporting its findings back to the respective Boards. Please contact me
should you have any questions on this matter.
Resolution authorizing a Study of
the Transfer of the Administration of 51 6' District Court to Oakland County
WHEREAS Waterford Township has approached members of the Board of
Commissioners and County administration concerning the possibility of transferring the
Waterford District Court to Oakland County; and
WHEREAS should all parties in interest agree, the transfer would require approvals from
the Waterford Township Board, Oakland County Board of Commissioners and the State
Legislature and Governor; and
I .

4. 141 Minutes of Township Board meeting, held January 10, 2005 6
Court study continued;
WHEREAS before any such transfer could be considered by the parties in interest,
financial and programmatic analyses should be performed in order that an informed decision
could be made.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Waterford Township Board of
Trustees authorizes the creation of the Waterford Township District Court Review Study Group
to explore the financial and programmatic implications of transferring the Township's District
Court to Oakland County; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Study Group be comprised of representatives of
the Township administration and District Court (to be appointed by the Township), the Board of
Commissioners (to be appointed by the Chairperson of the Board of Commissioners), and
County administration (to be appointed by the County Executive) with a report on this matter
due back to the Board of Trustees no later than 90 days after the passage of this resolution.
Moved by Fortino,
Supported by O'Shea, RESOLVED, to approve the foregoing resolution authorizing a study be
done of whether to transfer the administration of 51 st District Court from the Township to the
County, and assign Fiscal & Human Resource Director Rob Seeterlin and Court Administrator
Jennifer Marlinga to the panel.
Motion carried unanimously.

share of administrative costs under the program shall be the sum total of two
different calculations. The first calculation, based upon MUNICIPAL

ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS under the program. This figure shall be based
upon total MUNICIPAL population compared to the overall population of
participating MUNICIPALITIES program-wide. For purposes of illustration
without limitation, if the MUNICIPALITY consists of 1,000 residents and
there are a total of 10,000 MUNICIPAL residents served program-wide, then
the MUNICPALITY would pay 10 (ten) percent of this half of the
PROGRAM'S total ADMINISTRATIVE COST. The second half of the
MUNICIPALITY'S total ADMINISTRATIVE COST shall be the percentage
of total MUNICIPAL participation compared to the overall participation of
residents program-wide. For purposes of illustration without limitation, if

10,000 MUNICIPAL residents participating program-wide, then the
MUNICIPALITY would pay 10% of this half of the ADMINISTRATIVE
COST.
8.2.1 If a MUNICIPALITY hosts a hazardous waste collection event as
part of this program at one of its own sites, the MUNICIPALITY
shall be reimbursed by the COUNTY out of the program's
administrative budget. The amount of money provided to
reimburse a MUNICIPALITY for hosting a collection event shall
be a set amount and will be determined by the NO HAZ BOARD
once formed. Any expenses incurred by a MUNICIPALITY
which are beyond the amount determined by the NO HAZ
BOARD to be appropriate for a collection event shall be the sole
responsibility of the MUNICIPALITY.
8.3 The MUNICIPALITY shall also repay the COUNTY a portion of the
HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS. The HAZARDOUS
WASTE COLLECTION COST will be all costs paid by the COUNTY to the
HAZARDOUS WASTE VENDOR for collecting and disposing of a
MUNICIPAL resident's hazardous waste material. The MUNICIPALITY
may cap its HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS by limiting the
number of MUNICIPAL residents that may participate in collection events.
The MUNICIPALITY shall advise the COUNTY of any such limitation upon
MUNICIPAL resident participation,
8,4 The COUNTY shall submit an invoice to the MUNICIPALITY itemizing all
amounts due under this AGREEMENT for its share of ADMINISTRATIVE
and HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COSTS. The MUNICIPALITY
shall pay the invoice submitted to the COUNTY within thirty (30) days after
receipt of the invoice.

8.5 Except as expressly provided in this AGREEMENT, the COUNTY is not
responsible for any cost, fee, fine or penalty incurred by the MUNICIPALITY
in connection with this AGREEMENT.

8.6.1 To the maximum extent provided by law, should the
MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY
the amounts required under this AGREEMENT, the COUNTY
Treasurer shall be entitled to set-off and retain any amounts due
the MUNICIPALITY from Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund
("DTRF") or any other source of funds due the MUNICIPALITY
in the possession of the COUNTY, to partially or completely offset
any deficiency by the MUNICIPALITY, unless expressly
prohibited by law. Such a transfer shall be considered an
assignment by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. Further, the
MUNICIPALITY waives any CLAIMS against the COUNTY, or
its officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY.
8.6.2 To the maximum extent provided by law, should the
MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY
the amounts required under this AGREEMENT, the
MUNICIPALITY agrees that upon notice from the Oakland
COUNTY Treasurer to the Treasurer of the State of Michigan (or
any other State of Michigan official authorized to disburse funds to
the MUNICIPALITY), the State of Michigan is authorized to
withhold any funds due the MUNICIPALITY from the State, and
assign those funds to partially or completely offset any deficiency
by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. Such funds shall be
paid directly to the COUNTY. Further, the MUNICIPALITY
waives any CLAIMS against the State or COUNTY, or their
respective officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY.
8.6.3 Neither of these provisions shall operate to limit in any way the
COUNTY'S right to pursue any other legal remedies against the
MUNICIPALITY for the reimbursement of amounts due the
COUNTY under this AGREEMENT. The remedies in this
paragraph are available to the COUNTY on an ongoing and
successive basis, as the MUNICIPALITY becomes delinquent in
its payments.
9, MUNICIPALITY INDEMNIFICATION OF COUNTY.
9.1 The MUNICIPALITY agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the
COUNTY and/or any COUNTY AGENT from any CLAIM(S), loss, or
