PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION – AFFIDAVIT OF CLARIFICATION OF FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAVISBURG DAM – SPRINGFIELD OAKS COUNTY PARK The Davisburg Mill Pond was conveyed by Quit Claim Deed to the Charter Township of Springfield on March 1, 1984, and the Oakland County Parks and Recreation has been responsible for the required inspection and maintenance of the dam since 200 0, as required by the Michigan Departm ent of Natural Resources. It has been verified by Oakland County Corporation Counsel and Oakland County Property Management that the County of Oakland owns the property of the dam; however, the deed language was interpreted to read that the Charter Townsh ip of Springfield and Springfield Township Parks and Recreation are financially obligated for the maintenance of the existing dam. The resolution approves the Affidavit of Clarification of financial responsibility, including maintenance and operational re sponsibility, to the 1984 Quit Claim Deed for the Davisburg Mill Pond Dam at Springfield Oaks County Park. The Affidavit was drafted by Oakland County Corporation Counsel and approved by the Charter Township of Springfield , and it reflects 55% responsibility by the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission and 45% by the Charter Township of Springfield .
