1. OAKLAND COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION – REQUEST FOR APPROVAL
TO ENTER INTO A LICENSE AGREEMENT AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH OAK
MANAGEMENT FOR FOOD AND BEVERAGE SERV ICES
The Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission (PRC) is requesting approval to enter into a
License Agree ment and Professional Services C ontract with Oak Management (OM) to provide food and
beverage services for the continued operation of Addiso n Oaks Conference Center and the Glen Oaks
Conference Center and Grill Room for a ten -year period beginning January 1, 2016, with an optional five -
year extension at the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission’s sole discretion.
This item was postponed by the Committee at its previous meeting of January 28, 2014
Dwyer moved to recommend approval of the attached suggested resolution. Supported by Bosnic.
Dwyer moved to amend the resolution to insert as the first BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED paragraph
the following.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that upon affirmation of this contract, that the Oakland County
Board of Commissioners requires that the Parks and Recreation Commission immediately seek
outsourcing options for the two remaining banquet facilities in conjunction with the golf course
facilities in order to bring forward an additional contract proposal to the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners.
Supported by Weipert.
Motion to amend the resolution carried unanimously on a roll call vote with Gershenson absent.
Woodward moved to amend the contract, Section 2.2, to insert “Cancellation or continuation of the
contract once a default occurs requires approval from the Board of Commissioners” as the second
sentence (compiled as follows).
The County may terminate and/or cancel this Contract (or any part thereof) at any time upon three
hundred and sixty-five days (365) days written notice to the Contractor, if Contractor defaults in any
obligation contained herein and within the three hundred and sixty -five days (365) notice period
Contractor failed or did not attempt to cure such default. Cancellation or continuation of the
contract once a default occurs requires approval from the Board of Commissioners. The
effective date for termination or cancellation shall be clearly stated in the written notice. Contractor’s
failure to obtain/receive four (4) million dollars in Gross Receipts/Revenues from the Facilities at the
end of each Fiscal Year of this Contract, commencing with the 2021 Fiscal Year, shall b e
considered a default under this Contract.
Supported by McGillivray .
Motion to amend the contract carried unanimously on a roll call vote with Gershenson absent.
In response to Commissioner Woodward’s questions, Mr. Stencil explained that OM has not been
responsible for any capital improvements to facilities since prior to the 2006 contract and would not be
responsible for those in the future. All building-related capital improvement projects (CIP) will be handled
through the PRC Fund. The equipment maintenance fee is a new stream of revenue and the PRC and OM
will each be responsible for their own equipment repair and replacement. The Equipment Fund will be
purely for things such as dish washers, refrigerators, etc.

Commissioner Woodward stated that a key reason for the contract amendment he had offered was
because there is a sizeable increase projected in the revenue stream that gives him pause to see it going
up that fast in this industry and so to add the Board of Commissioners into the contract level of engagement
should the revenue not line up with projections allows them to be involved in re -evaluation.
Ms. Hall explained that the large increase in revenue takes into account the future negotiated 20% increase
in revenue the PRC will capture because the contract includes a service charge passed on to all customers
(20% off the top) and at Addison Oaks alcohol will now be included in revenue which in the past it was not.
Commissioner McGillivray thanked PRC staff, Ms. Hall and everyone on th e PRC Food and Beverage
Committee for their work. The report provided yesterday to commissioners shows an end to wedding
subsidies. He is still concerned about OM taking the top two facilities but is glad to see that PRC is moving
forward with review of operations for the other facilities.
Motion on the amended resolution with amended contract carried unanimously on a roll call vote
with Gershenson absent.
OTHER BUSINESS/ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Commi ttee, the meeting adjourned at 9:47 a.m.
