10. DEPARTMENT OF CE NTRAL SERVICES AND DEPARTMENT OF FACILITIES MANAGEMENT
– RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE OAKLAND COUNTY BUILDING AUTHORITY TO FINANCE A
PROJECT TO CONSTRUCT A NEW ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE AND TERMINAL BUILDING FOR THE
OAKLAND COUNTY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (OCIA) LO CATED IN OAKLAND COUNTY
The Departments of Central Services and Facilities Management are requesting that the Building Authority
be authorized to finance a project to replace the existing 50 -year-old Oakland County International Airport
(OCIA) terminal located in Waterford Township, Oakland County, Michigan, by constructing a new
administrative office and terminal buildin g. The full project cost is estimated at $7,100,000, with
$5,800,000 to be paid through a bond issue. The remaining $1,300,000 would b e paid from the Airport
Fund or from grants. The new building will be 18,000 squa re feet and will house Airport Administration and
Customs and Boarder Protection functions. A small conference center will also be included for use by
Oakland County Economic Development as a first stop introduction to the County for potential businesses.
The new terminal will also be the County’s first LEED Certified project, showcasing local and Michigan
emerging energy technologies. Bonds will be issued in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed
$5,800,000 to bear interest at a rate or rates that will result in a net interest cost not exceeding 8% per
annum. The Funding for payment of principal and interest will be provided by the OCIA Fund. The
Project’s expected period of usefulness will be not less than 35 years. No General Fund appropriation is
recommended.
Mr. VanderVeen explained that the existing terminal is in need of some major repairs and renovations and
is not handicapped accessible. A grant to design the terminal was accepted last year by resolution.
Because of its LEED certification design, the project is eligible for Department of Energy stimulus funds.
The County is eligible for $4.8 million in stimulus funds and application to the DOE includes pr ojects for the
OCIA, the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Water Resources Commissioner and the County’s
Facilities Management Department. If funds are received for this project, they will be used to cover the
variance between the bond issue and the re maining cost. Airport funds will cover any shortfall and will
FINANCE COMMITTEE Page 4
November 5, 2009
continue to be used for matching purposes in receiving federal aviation grants through the normal course of
business.
Commissioner Woodward noted that the OCIA is an Enterprise Fund which sho uld be self-supporting,
meaning that project costs should be borne by the users of the OCIA so that stimulus dollars could be used
by the County or the local communities for other building purposes.
Potts moved to report to amend the lease contract, Appendix I, third WHEREAS as follows.
WHEREAS, it is proposed that the Authority finance the total part of the cost of the
Project by the issuance of building authority bonds payable from cash rental payments to be
made by the County to the Authority pursuan t to this Lease and Act 31; and
Supported by Douglas.
Woodward moved to add a BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED paragraph as follows.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the use of Department of Energy Oakland
County stimulus funds for this project is prohibited.

11. MR #09255 – WATER RESOURCES COMMISSIONER – OAKLAND-MACOMB INTERCEPTOR
DRAIN DRAINAGE DISTRICT FULL FAITH AND CREDIT RESOLUTION
The Water Resources Commissioner, on behalf of the Drainage Board for the Oakland -Macomb Interceptor
Drain Drainage District (OMIDDD), is requesting authorization to pledge the County’s full faith and credit for
payment of principal and interest on the OMIDDD Bonds, Series 2010A. Macomb County is expected to
adopt a similar resolution. The counties of Oakland and Macomb will be secondary obligors, with t he
Drainage District being the primary obligor with special a ssessments to those Public Corporations (user
FINANCE COMMITTEE Page 5
November 5, 2009
communities) as approved by the Drainage Board on September 1, 2009. Oakland County’s portion o f the
project costs will be 48.50% and Macomb’s 51.50%. Series 2010A bonds will be issued in a not to exceed
amount of $57,500,000 and the Drainage Board may issue additional bonds in an amount not to exceed
$12,500,000 for a total of $70,000,000 for desi gn, construction of certain projects and rehabilitation of the
Interceptor. The bonds shall bear an interest rate and mature in such amounts and times pursuant to
resolution as determined by the Drainage Board. A total or portion of the Bonds will be sol d to the Michigan
Municipal Bond Authority under the Michigan Water Pollution Control Revolving Loan Program at 4.500%
interest.
Mr. Colaianne explained that the OMIDDD was originally construction in the early 1970s by the City of
Detroit. After a majo r collapse in Macomb County several years ago Detroit did a review of the system
which revealed that extensive repairs of $145 -$165 million were necessary. At the same time, the counties
of Oakland, Macomb and Wayne were in litigation with Detroit on seve ral issues, including the 800 MHz
radio system and sewer and water rates. Options on how to handle the situation were considered and it
was determined to turn the system over to the user counties of Oakland and Macomb. A Chapter 21
Drainage District was established, the Interceptor has been acquired and federal dollars for bonding are
being pursued through the State of Michigan Revolving Fund. A pledge from both counties of their full faith
and credit is a necessary and a critical part of the application process. Costs will be assessed through the
rate structure to the system’s users. It is believed that bonding for this project will result in an estimated
savings of $127,000,000.
Taub moved to report to amend the resolution, under the NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED
paragraph, numbered paragrahp 3. as follows.
3. “The County Treasurer or the financial consultant, Municipal Financial Consultants
County Executive, as the Chief Administrative Officer of the County, is authorized to
file with the Departmen t of Treasury of the State of Michigan on behalf of the County an
Application for the State Treasurer's Approval to Issue Bonds with respect to the Bonds. “
Supported by Gingell.
Mr. Colaianne and Mr. Axe explained that the application requires that the Chief Administrative Office of the
County sign the application. This is a requirement if the drainage district is less than one year old.
Mr. Soave explained that the County Executive signs the annual qualifying statement that is submitted each
March to the Michigan Department of Treasury for both the County and the Building Authority.
Mr. Meisner indicated that he was waiting for the State Treasurer’s Office to return his call on this issue.
Greimel moved to postpone action on the item until the end of the agenda to allow Mr. Meisner the
opportunity to receive a response from the Treasury Department to his phone call . Supported by
Potts.
Motion to postpone carried on a voice vote.
