The Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commi ssion owns and maintains the Springfield Oaks Golf
Course property, and there is a pond on that property that is partially located on adjoining property
owned by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Quinlan. The Quinlans have been voluntarily maintaining the perimeter of

between the Quinlans and the County of Oakland as a legal document to reflect that the County of
Oakland permits the Quinlans to enter onto County property to maintain the property around the entire
perimeter of the pond, which includes maintenance of County property; however, the County does not
waive any interest it has in the property nor does the County intend to transfer any interest in the
property to the Quinlans.

4. FACILITIES MANAGEMENT – WORK RELEASE FACILITY RENOVATION PROJECT
Due to budget cuts, the Sheriff’s Office is closing down the Frank Greenan Facility. They will be
removing the inmates from the Work Release Facility and placing them on tethers. They will need to
make changes to the current Work Release Facility to house inmate s from the Frank Greenan Facility
and the Main Jail. The project consists of converting the kitchen area of the Work Release Facility to a
laundry operation, an area for site work, dayroom work stations and security hardware. The laundry
operation at the Frank Greenan Facility would be rel ocated to the Work Release Facility in the current
kitchen area, reverting food preparation to the kitchen at the Main Jail. In addition, some security
changes will be necessary as part of the project. The estimated cost of the Work Release Renovation
Project is $500,000, and it is anticipated to be started in July and completed in October, 2010.
Facilities Engineering, with the assistance of consultants, has prepared construction documents, which
were bid out by Purchasing for some of the trades. The balance of the work will be done through in -
house staff and annual contracts.
As a result of the changes to the Work Release Facility with regards to the future population mix, the
Sheriff’s Office is requesting to change the name of that facility to th e Jail East Annex.
Jacobsen moved to report to the Finance Committee with a recommendation that the Work
Release Renovation Project be approved utilizing the available Sheriff’s Office Budget Transition
Fund in the amount of $500,000, and that the name of the Work Release Facility be changed to
Jail East Annex. Supported by Capello.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote.
