Attachment "A"
LOCAL ROAD IMPROVEMENT MATCHING FUND PROGRAM
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Oakland County Government recognizes that Michigan law places the primary responsibility for
road funding on the State and non -county local units of government. However, the County also
recognizes that the law does permit a limited, discretionary role for the County in assisting a road
commission and local units within a county by supporting some road maintenance and
improvement efforts.
Accordingly, for many years Oakland County has voluntarily provided limited assistance to its
cities, villages and townships (CVT's) and to the Road Commission of Oakland County (RCOC)
by investing in a discretionary Tri-Party Road Program. Authorized under Michigan law, the
County's tri-party funding contributions primarily facilitate safety improvement projects on CVT
roads under the jurisdiction of the RCOC. By law, tri-party funds cannot be used to fund projects
on roads solely under the jurisdiction of CVT's.
Recognizing a continuing need to better maintain local CVT streets and roads, yet being ever
mindful of the County's limited responsibility for and jurisdiction over non -County roads and
streets, Oakland County Government is continuing the success of the pilot program launched in
2016 that was more flexible than the current Tri-Party Road Program; one that allowed Oakland
County to assist its cities and villages with maintenance and safety projects on non -County roads.
Not being the funding responsibility of County government, local CVT roads generally cannot be
maintained or improved using County funds because doing so would be considered to be the
"gifting" of County resources. However laudable the purpose, Michigan law generally forbids the
gifting of government resources. To avoid application of the constitutionally -based gifting
restriction, the state legislature must, and in this arena has, determined that a public benefit results
from a taxpayer investment, one that provides a quid pro quo sufficient to avoid application of the
gifting prohibition. Here, the legislature has determined that the economic development benefit
presumed to accrue to a county as a result of local street and road investments can provide a
sufficient quid pro quo to county taxpayers justifying a discretionary county investment in a non -
county road, a benefit that constitutes a fair exchange for value and not a gift.
This legislative determination is set forth in 1985 P.A. 9, which amended 1913 P.A. 380, by adding
a new section 2, which in pertinent part provides:
"(1) ...A county may grant or loan funds to a township, village or city located within that
county for the purpose of encouraging and assisting businesses to locate and expand
within the county...
(2) A loan or grant made under subsection (1) may be used for local public improvements
or to encourage and assist businesses in locating or expanding in this state, to preserve
jobs in this state, to encourage investment in the communities in this state, or for other
public purposes."
Communities thatwish to attract, retain and grow business, retain jobs and encourage community
investment, needs a safely maintained road infrastructure. This road infrastructure must include
both residential and commercial roads as workers and consumers need to get to and from work,
shopping, schools and recreation. In a fiscally prudent and limited manner, the County wishes to
Page 1 of 5
help its cities and villages accomplish this through its Local Road Improvement Matching Fund
Program, commonly known as the Local Road Improvement Program (LRIP).
Any such program must be mindful of the limits imposed under Public Act 9. One important
restriction Public Act 9 imposed on grants or loans made pursuant to Subsection 2 of the Act is
the mandate that, "A grant or loan under this Subsection shall not be derived from ad valorem
taxes except for ad valorem taxes approved by a vote of the people for economic development."
This means that funding for an expanded local road assistance program cannot utilize proceeds
from any of Oakland County's ad valorem tax levies since no levy has been approved by voters
specifically for economic development.
Given this limitation, it appears that the state statutory revenue sharing appropriated to the County
can provide a non -ad valorem source of funds that legally can be used to support the program.
Competition for those funds, which are limited in amount, is fierce and their yearly availability is
subject to the state legislative process. In the recent past, the State stripped all of those funds
away from Michigan counties. Understanding that reality, it shall be the policy of the Oakland
County Board of Commissioners that the Board shall not appropriate any County funds for a local
road improvement matching fund program for non -County roads in any year where the State of
Michigan fails to appropriate statutory revenue sharing funds to Oakland County in an amount
sufficient to allow the County to first prudently address its core functions.
Act 9 imposes additional conditions on grants and loans. These include requirements that the
loan or grant shall be administered within an established application process for proposals; that
any grant or loan shall be made at a public hearing of the county board of commissioners and
that the Board shall require a report to the county board of commissioners regarding the activities
of the recipient and a report as to the degree to which the recipient has met the stated public
purpose of the funding.
Understanding all of the above, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby establishes
the following Local Road Improvement Matching Fund Program:
PROGRAM SUMMARY
The Board of Commissioners established a Pilot Local Road Improvement Matching Fund
Program through Miscellaneous Resolution #16103 for the purposes of improving economic
development in Oakland County cities and villages. The County intends to continue this Program
to assist its municipalities by offering limited matching funds for specific, targeted road
maintenance and/or improvement projects on roadways under the jurisdiction of cities and
villages.
A city or village participating in the Local Road Improvement Matching Fund Program shall match
any fund authorized by the Board of Commissioners in an amount equal to a minimum of 50% of
the cost of the total project award. County participation shall be limited to a maximum of 50% of
the cost of the total project budget. Funding shall be utilized to supplement and enhance local
road maintenance and improvement programs. Funding is not intended to replace existing
budgeted local road programs or to replace funding already committed to road improvements.
Page 2 of 5
PROJECT GUIDELINES
Program funding shall be utilized solely for the purposes of road improvements to roads under
the jurisdiction of local cities and villages. Road improvements may include, but not be limited to,
paving, resurfacing, lane additions or lengthening, bridges, or drainage as such improvements
relate to road safety, structure or relieving congestion.
Program funding:
• May be utilized to supplement a local government's matched funding for the purposes of
receiving additional federal transportation funding;
• May not be utilized to fulfill a local government's responsibility to fund improvements to
state trunklines;
• Shall be limited to real capital improvements to roadways and shall not be utilized for
other purposes, such as administrative expenses, personnel, consultants or other similar
purposes;
• Shall not be utilized for non -motorized improvements, unless these improvements are
included in a project plan for major improvements to a motorized roadway;
• Shall be utilized for projects that will result in a measurable improvement in the
development of the local economy and contribute to business growth. Recipients shall be
responsible for providing an outline of the economic benefits of the project prior to approval
and for reporting to the Board of Commissioners after the completion of the project on the
benefits achieved as a result of the projects.
ADMINISTRATION
Local Road Improvement Matching Fund Program projects may be appropriated by the Board of
Commissioners in compliance with the County budget process. The amount of funds to be
dedicated for the Program shall be determined by the Board of Commissioners on an annual
basis. Program funding may be reduced or eliminated based upon the ability of the County
government to meet primary constitutional and statutory duties. The Board of Commissioners
expressly reserves the right to adjust the County matching funds share at any time based upon
County budget needs.
In accordance with MCL 123.872, funds dedicated to the Local Road Improvement Matching Fund
Program shall not be derived from ad valorem tax revenues. Program funding shall be limited to
funds derived from the County's distribution from the Michigan General Revenue Sharing Act.
Reduction or elimination of the County's distribution of revenue sharing funds may result in the
elimination or suspension of the program.
Funding availability shall be distributed based upon a formula updated annually. The formula will
consist of:
A percentage derived from the number of certified local major street miles in each city and
village divided by aggregate total of certified local major street miles of all cities and
villages in the County.
A percentage derived from the population of each city and village as determined by the
last decennial census conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau divided by the aggregate
total population of cities and villages in the County.
Page 3 of 5
3. A percentage derived from the three-year rolling total of the number of crashes on city and
village major local streets divided by the aggregate three-year rolling crash numbers for
all city and village major local streets, using the most recent data available. The crash data
will be supplied by the South East Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG).
Each city and village's percentage allocation shall be determined by adding each factor
percentage and dividing that total by three. The amount of funds available for match shall be
determined by the total amount of funds allocated by the Board of Commissioners added to an
equal amount representing the match provided by local cities and villages.
The Chairman of the Board of Commissioners shall establish a Special Committee on the Local
Road Improvement Program. This Special Committee shall consist of three members, with two
members representing the majority caucus and one member representing the minority caucus. It
shall be the responsibility of the Special Committee to direct the administration of this program,
receive applications for program funding, and make recommendations of acceptance to the Board
of Commissioners. The Special Committee may consult with County departments, staff, the South
East Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG), and the Road Commission for Oakland
County in the conduct of its business.
DISBURSEMENT
The Special Committee shall forward recommendations for approval of Local Road Improvement
Matching Fund Program projects to the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners. This
recommendation shall include a cost participation agreement between the County and
participating municipality. Minimally, cost participation agreements shall include: responsibility for
administering the project, the project location, purpose, scope, estimated costs including
supporting detail, provisions ensuring compliance with project guidelines, as well as disbursement
eligibility requirements. The cost participation agreement shall also require the maintenance of
supporting documentation to ensure compliance with the following provisions:
1. Any and all supporting documentation for project expenditures reimbursed with
appropriated funding shall be maintained a minimum of seven years from the date of final
reimbursement for actual expenditures incurred.
The Oakland County Auditing Division reserves the right to audit any and all project
expenditures reimbursed through the program.
Upon receipt of recommendation of project approval from the Special Committee, the County
Commissioner or Commissioners representing the area included in the proposed project may
introduce a resolution authorizing approval of the project and the release of funds. Resolutions
shall be forwarded to the Economic Development and Infrastructure Committee of the Board of
Commissioners, who shall review and issue a recommendation to the Board on the adoption of
the resolution. A public hearing shall be scheduled before the Board of Commissioners prior to
consideration of final approval of the resolution.
The deadline for projects to be submitted for consideration shall be established by the Special
Committee. The Special Committee may work with participating municipalities to develop a plan
for projects that exceed that municipality's annual allocation amount. This may include a limited
plan to rollover that municipality's allocation for a period of years until enough funding availability
has accrued to complete the project, subject to funding availability.
Page 4 of 5
Upon completion of project plans and execution of the cost participation agreement by the County
and governing authority of the local municipality, the participating municipality shall submit an
invoice in accordance with the terms and conditions included in the agreement. The Oakland
County Department of Management and Budget Fiscal Services Division shall process payments
in accordance with policies and procedures as set forth by the Department of Management and
Budget and the Oakland County Treasurer.
In the event an eligible local unit of government chooses not to participate in the Local Road
Improvement Matching Fund Program, any previously undistributed allocated funding may be
reallocated to all participating local units of government at the discretion of the Local Road
Improvement Program Special Committee.
At the completion of each project, the participating local government shall provide a report to the
Board of Commissioners regarding the activities of the recipient and the degree to which the
recipient has met the stated public purpose of the funding as required by MCL 123.872.

ASSISTING BUSINESSES TO LOCATE AND EXPAND IN THE COUNTY.
Elizabeth Street is a major street off M24 leading into and out of the Village which is located between a
major shopping center district on both sides of the street. Elizabeth Street as a major street lead to
downtown Village of Lake Orion from Lapeer and Broadway Streets. Having the road surface improved
will smooth the roadway and also help eliminate water ponding issues to a few locations. This
resurfacing and drainage improvement will make the road safer and encourage drivers to use it to enter
the Downtown business district. It will also assist businesses to locate and expand in the County by
having this gateway entrance to the Village improved in operation and safety.
