OAKLAND COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE
2021 LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT
WITH THE SOMERSET COLLECTION LP
This CONTRACT is made and entered into between the SOMERSET COLLECTION LP, a Limited
Partnership, registered and licensed to conduct business in the State of Michigan, whose local address is
2800 West Big Beaver Road, Suite 300, Troy, Michigan, 48084 ("COMPANY"), and the COUNTY OF
OAKLAND, a Michigan Constitutional and Municipal Corporation, whose address is 1200 North Telegraph
Road, Pontiac, Michigan 48341 ("COUNTY"). The COUNTY is also represented by the OAKLAND
COUNTY SHERIFF, MICHAEL J. BOUCHARD, in his official capacity as a Michigan Constitutional Officer,
whose address is 1200 North Telegraph Road, Bldg, 38 E., Pontiac, Michigan 48341 ("SHERIFF"). In this
CONTRACT, when the COUNTY and SHERIFF are referred to jointly and collectively, they will be referred
to as the OAKLAND COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE ("O.C.S.O.").
INTRODUCTION:
A. The COMPANY has a shopping mall located at 2800 West Big Beaver Road, Suite 300, Troy, Michigan,
48084, which includes locations on both the north and south side of the road.
B. The COMPANY has consulted with the local law enforcement department regarding its ability to
provide sufficient LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during the upcoming holiday season ("EVENT")
regarding whether any supplemental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES are desirable and/or
necessary.
C. The SHERIFF, subject to the limits of available DEPUTIES and budget constraints, is authorized by
law to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES throughout the jurisdiction and territorial limits of
Oakland County.
D. The COMPANY has approached the O.C.S.O. aboutthe possibility of supplementing limited, local LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES with O.C.S.O. DEPUTIES to provide increased LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES during the EVENT;
E. The O.C.S.O. is authorized to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES within Oakland County, but
absent an agreement such as this, the Sheriff has only a limited responsibility for law enforcement
activities at the COMPANY and is not required to assign any specific number(s) or rank(s) of DEPUTIES
to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the COMPANY.
F. The same fiscal and practical restrictions that limit the availability of local police resources for LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT also limit the ability of the SHERIFF to reassign DEPUTIES
to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT as part of their normal shift assignments
and duties. However, because of the relatively large number of DEPUTIES the O.C.S.O. employs, the
O.C.S.O. may be able to provide supplemental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT on
an overtime basis.
G. The COMPANY, in recognition of the expense to the O.C.S.O. in providing increased LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT, has agreed to pay all COUNTY costs incurred in providing
DEPUTIES for increased LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT.
H. The O.C.S.O. is agreeable to providing DEPUTIES for supplemental LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES at the EVENT pursuant to the terms and conditions of this CONTRACT, provided that such
LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES do not: (a) impair or interfere with the O.C.S.O.'s ability to meet its
other law enforcement responsibilities; (b) result in any O.C.S.O. loss of operational efficiency or
readiness; and/or (c) result in any increased financial burdens or the assumption of any additional
liabilities to County taxpayers.

2021 LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE SOMERSET COLLECTION LP

enforcement functions authorized by law and are exclusively governmental activities and functions of

enforcement resources, his overall evaluation of Oakland County's immediate law enforcement needs,
and his determination as to the allocation of O.C.S.O. law enforcement personnel at that time to best
serve the citizens of Oakland County, may be unable to assign any or all of the DEPUTIES
contemplated to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES on any particular EVENT DATE. The

LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES and to develop the necessary schedules, budgets and plans to
enable it to provide the numbers and ranks of DEPUTIES contemplated at the anticipated EVENT
DATES and the promised professionalism of the O.C.S.O. in these regards, as demonstrated
throughout previous similar agreements, are appropriate and adequate consideration to justify the
COMPANY'S decision to enter into this CONTRACT. The COMPANY hereby agrees to waive any and
all CLAIMS against the COUNTY, SHERIFF, or the O.C.S.O. which arise in connection with, or as a
result of, any alleged O.C.S.O. failure to provide adequate LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the
