REGULAR AGENDA
2. GREAT LAKES WATER AUTHORITY UPDATE
Deputy County Executive Bob Daddow provided an additional document from the one in the packet
with a listing of “Major Business Issues”, some of which are affecting sewer rates. Mr. Daddow gave
some brief highlights of the information in the documents provided. On May 31, 2016, 11 months
after fiscal year end, audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2015 were received.
The last time credible information was available was J une 30, 2014. As of December 31, 2015, the
Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) was off the Detroit system, and a payroll system was
implemented. The restructuring of the retirees’ healthcare and pension certificates of participation
resulted in a savings of approximately $750 million in obligations that would have otherwise been
paid over the next 25 to 30 years (annual cost savings of $22 million). However, the cost savings is
almost completely offset by the “Grand Bargain”, which took the amortization o f pension payments
for Unfunded Actuarial Accrued L iability (UAAL) from 30 years to 9 years for the DWSD’s pension
pool, which includes the City of Detroit and GLWA.
The City of Highland Park remains a problem because of a delinquency of DWSD bills, as they
have not made any payments for water/sewer since June 30, 2012. Currently the City of Detroit is
paying for bad debts, and as a result the sewer rate for communities has increased 4.9% (3.2% of
the increase is due to the City of Highland Park’s deb t). The Circuit Court has awarded a judgment
of about $19 million to the DWSD (GLWA) as a result of this debt, but the Court will not allow it to
be levied on the property tax rolls. At this time there is no effective means of collecting the debt.
For the better part of 2014, 2015 and 2016 Highland Park public officials failed to bill residents for
water and sewer services , and that compounds the problem that there are no funds to imp rove
aging infrastructure, which is required.
The GLWA provides only water to Flint/Genesee County; however, they are expected to leave the
system on or about July 1, 2017. It is estimated that as a result of the loss of water (unit) sales that
Flint/Genesee County are now providing, water rates are estimated to rise by ab out 6.2%. To help
mitigate the Flint/Genesee County impact, there is currently a refinancing of existing debt in
progress with an expected cash savings of $200 million in cash payments.
Zack moved to receive and file the documents provided by Deputy County Executive Bob
Daddow. Supported by Fleming.
Motion carried on a voice vote.
17. BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – PROPOSED TOWNSHIP OF ORION CORRIDOR
IMPROVEMENT AUTHORITY TAX CAPTURE
The TIF Review Committee met on July 12, 2016, and a report was submitted to the Finance
Committee recommending that the County, through its Corporation Counsel, attempts to negotiate a
contract consistent with the Township’s C orridor Improvement Authority (CIA) presentation. Chris
Barnett, Orion Township Supervisor, was present to give a brief overview of the Orion Township
CIA Plan to the Finance Committee and to answer questions. One of the goals of the CIA is to
address traffic along Brown Road by widening Brown Road from three to five lanes between Joslyn
and Baldwin Roads. In addition, there are plans to support bicycle and pedestrian traffic with
“streetscape” enhancements along the north side of Brown Road. The proposal is for a 20 -year
capture with an estimated $8,086,130 of tax revenue with a CIA and TIF in place.

18. BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – UPDATED POLICY FOR PARTICIPATION IN DOWNTOWN
DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITIES, LOCAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITIES, CORRIDOR
IMPROVEMENT AUTHORITIES AND CONSIDERATION OF BROWNFIELD AUTHORITIES’
IMPACT ON COUNTY REVENUE SUBJECT TO CAPTURE
The TIF Review Committee met on July 12, 2016, and a report was submitted to the Finan ce
Committee recommending that an amendment be made to the Policy for Review and Potential
Participation in Downtown Development Authorities, Corridor Improvement Authorities, and Local
Development Financing Authorities and Limitation on Tax Capture by all TIF Authorities.
Mr. Bertolini explained that there are a few changes to the policy, and he gave some brief highlights
of the changes. The first change is to include Brownfield Authority recaptures in the policy. W hen a
community comes in with a newly proposed TIF or Authority, the County considers the amounts that
are already being captured, and this policy would include Brownfield recaptures as well, so that the
County knows the total effort underway at the County for the capture . Second, there is a change to
add a provision for an annual report from the Economic Dev elopment and Community Affairs
Department to provide to the Budget Task Force and the TIF Rev iew Committee to show what is
being captured. Third, the policy states that real property and p ersonal property will be included on
the base calculation for any authority. Lastly, a provision has been added for conflict of interest that
prohibits “elected or appointed officials of the Applicant or their immediate family members” to
engage “in a business transaction, relating to property in the District , which he or she may profit
from because of his or her official position or authority.”
Taub moved approval of the attached suggested Resolution. Supported by Fleming.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote with Woodward and Quarles absent.
16. FACILITIES MANAGEMENT/FACILITIES PLANNING & ENGINEERING – BUILDING
SECURITY ENHANCEMENT PRIORITY 1 (PART 3 OF 3) PROJECT

divided into four different priorities, and Priority 1 was split into three parts. This resolution
approves Part 3 of 3 of the Priority 1 Project. Part 3 addresses the Children’s Village campus. This
project will replace outdated analog style cameras with digital cameras, which will be connected
with a common fiber network that will link every building to a master control room in CV -J.
Additional cameras will be added as well. The project was competitively bid, and the lowest
responsible bidder is Walt’s Electric, out of Eastpointe. The estimated cost of Part 3 of the Priority 1
Project is $1,475,220, including the base bid of $1,078,836 for the camera upgrades, $27,085 for 90
days of video storage, $35,000 for FM&O labor, $257,202 for contingency and $77,097 for
