3. DEPARTMENT OF FACILITIES MANAGEMENT – REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF PARCEL
EXCHANGE WITH THE CITY OF WALLED LAKE, MICHIGAN, FOR OAKNET FIBER HUB
RELOCATION
Since the County moved its operations out of its West Oakland Offic e Building at 1010 East West
Maple, it is necessary for the County to relocate a fiber optic hub that resides there to a location in the
same general vicinity. The hub is a component of the County Law Enforcement Management
Information System (CLEMIS). This hub serves Walled Lake and the surrounding communities by
providing access to Public Safety and OakNet applications and voice services; therefore, placement of
the hub is critical. There is a County -owned half-acre parcel in the City of Walled Lake, w hich is an old
well site that has not been used for some time, but which has no direct road frontage along Pontiac
Trail Road, along with the County’s OakNet fiber line runs. The County is requesting that the City of
Walled Lake Council allow the transfer of ownership of parcel #17 -26-307-035 to the City in exchange
for a portion of the City’s Lot 119 of parcel #1734 -401-003, which is along an OakNet fi ber run, so that
the County can relocate the fiber optic hub on this site .
McGillivray moved approval of the attached suggested resolution. Supported by Nuccio.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote with Runestad and Jackson absent.
