PARCEL LOCATED AT 9821 SASHABAW ROAD IN INDEPENDENCE TOWNSHIP, MICHIGAN FOR
THE EXPANSION OF IN DEPENDENCE OAKS COUNY PARK
The Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission is seeking approval of a Purchase Agreement
between Oakland County and the Schubert Living Trust for the acquisition of 2.7 acres of property in
Independence Township. This parcel is immediately adjacent to Independence Oaks County Park and
provides opportunity for connectivity from Independence Oaks to Clintonwood Park. Currently, the
properties touch at a corner, and the parcel acquisition will allow for a more physical connection between
the two in order to provide for hiking, biking, and walking between them . It is proposed to split the property
and resell the house , along with one acre of land. Part of the process will be getting a survey and the title
work, setting up a closing, and then reselling the property after the split. The full parcel will be purchased for
$290,000, which includes the house. After the split, the price range for the sale of the house, along with one
acre of the property, is estimated between $265,000-$275,000.

5. FACILITIES MANAGEMENT/FACILITIES PLANNING & ENGINEERING - BUILDING SECURITY
ENHANCEMENTS PROJECT - JAIL K-BLOCK INTERCOM SYSTEM REPLACEMENT
Facilities Management is requesting to add the Jail K -Block intercom system replacement into the current
Priority 2 Building Security Enhancements Project. This system replacement is already included in the
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) under the Priority 3 Building Security Enhancements, and is not scheduled
to start until 2018. The intercom system has failed, and getting service or replacement parts is difficult
because the system is old. The Sheriff’s Office considers the failure of the system to be a security issue
and has requested that it be replaced. Since the funding is already identified in the CIP as part of the
building fund, this is not a request for new money, but rather a request to shift the money from Prio rity 3 to
Priority 2 in order to allow the replacement of the system at this time.
Berman moved to report to the Finance Committee to recommend approval of the attached
suggested resolution. Supported by Jackson.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll cal l vote.

two parcels: one parcel is owned by the RCOC, while the other is owned by Oakland County , which the
RCOC leases for $1. This will complement the County in terms of a public service standpoint by having
these services, combined with County services, on Campus.
