The following interlocal agreement (hereinafter “Agreement”) has been executed by the Board of Commissioners for Oakland County, a majority of the Assessing Districts in Oakland County, and the individual put forth as the proposed Designated Assessor.

That interlocal agreement must be approved by the County Board of Commissioners and a majority of the Assessing Districts in the County. WHEREAS, P.A. 660 of 2018 mandates that the Designated Assessor shall be an advanced assessing officer or a master assessing officer. NOW, THEREFORE, based on the foregoing Recitals, and in consideration of the terms of this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows: DESIGNATED ASSESSOR – INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT Page 2 of 9 BACKGROUND INFORMATION Oakland County names MICHEAL R. LOHMEIER (R-6101), in his official capacity as the Equalization Officer for Oakland County, as the Designated Assessor for all of the Assessing Districts within Oakland County 1.

This Agreement will have no effect on any pre- existing agreements that the parties may have, under which Oakland County performs contracted assessing services for the Assessing District. 2.0 DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF ASSESSING DISTRICTS 2.1 Any Assessing District in Oakland County that is required to utilize the services of the Designated Assessor will, during the period the Assessing District is required to or chooses to utilize the services of the Designated Assessor, do the following: 2.1.1 Provide the Designated Assessor with reasonable access to records, documents, databases and information in order to allow the Designated Assessor to serve as the Assessor of Record for the Assessing District and satisfy all requirements Supervising Preparation of the Assessment Roll approved by the State Tax Commission August 21, 2018. 2.1.2 Furnish the Designated Assessor with any applicable policies and procedures that the Designated Assessor may be subject to during the period of time the Designated Assessor serves as the Assessing District’s Assessor of Record. 2.1.3 Provide, while the Designated Assessor or his designee is physically working on behalf of the Assessing District and within the geographical boundaries of the Assessing District, any technology, equipment, and workspace necessary for the Designated Assessor or his designee to carry out their requirements under this Agreement. 2.2 The Assessing District shall, at all times and under all circumstances, remain solely liable for any and all costs, legal obligations, and/or civil liabilities associated with or in any way related to any Assessing District tax appraisal or assessment functions or any other Assessing District legal obligation under any applicable State Property Tax Laws. The Assessing District shall employ and retain its own legal representation, as necessary, to defend any such claim or challenge before the State Tax Tribunal or any other court or review body. 2.3 Except for those express statutory and/or regulatory obligations incumbent only upon licensed Equalization Division Personnel (i.e., State Licensed and Certified Real and/or Personal Property Tax Assessors) to defend property tax appraisals and assessments that they either performed, or were otherwise performed under their supervision, before the Michigan Tax Tribunal, the Parties agree that no other County employees, including any County attorneys shall be authorized, required and/or otherwise obligated under this Agreement or pursuant to any other agreement between the Parties to provide any legal representation to or for the Assessing District and/or otherwise defend, challenge, contest, appeal, or argue on behalf of the Assessing District before the Michigan Tax Tribunal or any other review body or court except to the extent the matters have been traditionally and previously handled by assessing staff, such as, but not limited to, Michigan Tax Tribunal small claims division hearings and matters before the State Tax Commission. DESIGNATED ASSESSOR – INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT Page 5 of 9 2.4 The Assessing District shall, at all times and under all circumstances, remain solely liable for any and all costs, legal obligations, and/or civil liabilities associated with or in any way related to any tax appraisal or assessment functions or any other legal obligation. The Assessing District agrees that under no circumstances shall the County or the Designated Assessor be responsible for any costs, obligations, and/or civil liabilities or any responsibility under any State Property Tax Law. 3.0 DESIGNATED ASSESSOR COMPENSATION 3.1 The Designated Assessor may charge an Assessing District that is required to contract with the Designated Assessor and that Assessing District shall pay for the reasonable costs incurred by the Designated Assessor in serving as the Assessing District’s Assessor of Record, including, but not limited to, the costs of overseeing and administering the annual assessment, preparing and defending the assessment roll, and operating the assessing office. 3.2 If the Designated Assessor is required to serve as the Assessor of Record for an Assessing District within Oakland County, the parties understand and agree that he will be serving in his official capacity as the Oakland County Equalization Officer. Therefore, an Assessing District will not make any direct payments to the Designated Assessor. Instead, the Assessing District will be responsible for paying a fee to Oakland County which fee is intended to compensate Oakland County for the reasonable costs incurred by the Designated Assessor and his staff. Oakland County will charge the Assessing District a fee equal to the average rate per parcel that it charges those districts for whom it already performs contracted assessing services, as of the date the Designated Assessor is required to serve as the Assessor of Record. The parties agree that should the standard fee not reasonably reflect the actual cost of the provision of the services required that the standard fee will be modified to a higher or lower fee, and so the fee is reasonable. The modification of the standard fee will be dependent upon the complexity of the work to be performed by the Designated Assessor, the number of staff needed to assist in completing the work and whether the Assessing District provides its own staff to assist the Designated Assessor. The Assessing District is not required to pay a retainer fee. In the event that the Designated Assessor is acting on behalf of an Assessing District for which Oakland County Equalization Department is currently contracted with to provide assessing services, the Designated Assessor will provide its Designated Assessor services at no additional cost to said Assessing District. 3.3 If the Assessing District fails, for any reason, to pay the County any monies when and as due under this Contract, the Assessing District agrees that unless expressly prohibited by law, the County or the County Treasurer, at their sole option, shall be entitled to a setoff from any other Assessing District funds that are in the County’s possession for any reason. Funds include but are not limited to the Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund (“DTRF”). Any DESIGNATED ASSESSOR – INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT Page 6 of 9 setoff or retention of funds by the County shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of the amount by the Assessing District to the County. The Assessing District waives any claims against the County or its Officials for any acts related specifically to the County’s offsetting or retaining such amounts. This paragraph shall not limit the Assessing District’s legal right to dispute whether the underlying amount retained by the County was actually due and owing under this Agreement. 3.4 If the County chooses not to exercise its right to setoff or if any setoff is insufficient to fully pay the County any amounts due and owing the County under this Contract, the County shall have the right to charge up to the then-maximum legal interest on any unpaid amount. Interest charges shall be in addition to any other amounts due to the County under this Agreement. Interest charges shall be calculated using the daily unpaid balance method and accumulate until all outstanding amounts and accumulated interest are fully paid. 3.5 Nothing in this Section shall operate to limit the County’s right to pursue or exercise any other legal rights or remedies under this Contract against the Assessing District to secure reimbursement of amounts due the County under this Agreement. The remedies in this Section shall be available to the County on an ongoing and successive basis if Assessing District at any time becomes delinquent in its payment. Notwithstanding any other term and condition in this Contract, if the County pursues any legal action in any court to secure its payment under this Contract, the Assessing District agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees and court costs, incurred by the County in the collection of any amount owed by the Assessing District. 4.0 EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF AGREEMENT This Agreement shall become effective when it is executed by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, Micheal R. Lohmeier, and the governing bodies of a majority of the Assessing Districts within Oakland County, and shall expire on December 31, 2027. The terms and conditions in Section 3.0 (Compensation) shall survive and continue in full force beyond the termination of this Agreement if the Assessing District owes money to the County under this Agreement. 5.0 DESIGNATED ASSESSOR EMPLOYMENT STATUS It is understood by the parties that Micheal R. Lohmeier is appointed as the Designated Assessor based on his employment status as Oakland County Equalization Officer and that if his employment status materially changes, the parties will request that the State Tax Commission designate and approve an interim Designated Assessor until the parties are able to amend this Agreement. 6.0 ENTIRE AGREEMENT This Agreement sets forth all covenants, promises, agreements, conditions and understandings between the parties and there are no covenants, promises, agreements, conditions, or understandings, either oral or written, between the Parties other than are set forth in this Agreement. DESIGNATED ASSESSOR – INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT Page 7 of 9 7.0 AMENDMENTS This Agreement cannot be modified unless reduced to writing and signed by both Parties. 8.0 SEVERABILITY If a court of competent jurisdiction finds a term or condition of this Agreement to be illegal or invalid, then the term or condition shall be deemed severed from this Agreement. All other terms or conditions shall remain in full force and effect. 9.0 GOVERNING LAW This Agreement shall be governed, interpreted, and enforced by the laws of the State of Michigan. 10.0 COUNTERPARTS This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, including facsimile copies, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall together constitute one instrument.

CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION The following items were removed from the consent agenda for discussion: • Recommended approval of Collective Bargaining Agreement with Teamsters Local 214. CMR 10-22-91 • Recommended approval of the Collective Bargaining Agreement with International Association of Firefighters (IAFF). CMR 10-22-92 RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT WITH TEAMSTERS LOCAL 214. CMR 10-22-91 MOTION by Massey, support by Bridges, that the City Council of Farmington Hills hereby authorizes the City Manager and the Assistant City Manager to execute a new Agreement with the Teamsters Local 214, in accordance with the terms and conditions in the Tentative Settlement Agreement ratified by the parties. Councilmember Knol explained that she will be voting no on both collective bargaining agreements this evening consistent with previous votes and while she has voted in favor of past agreements that have included wage and benefit increases if they were fair to the employees and affordable to the city, she is not in favor of the switching all employees from defined contribution to defined benefit and this is dictating her “no” vote. She supports all other wage and benefits within the contracts but is concerned if this is affordable in the long City of Farmington Hills-City Council Regular Session Meeting 3 October 10, 2022 APPROVED 10/24/2022 Page 3 of 12 term and she doesn’t feel it is in the best interest of the employees. The City wants employees to stay long term but she doesn’t feel that is realistic for younger or new employees and that they may want the portability of a 401K. She believes benefits can be improved in other ways to attract and retain employees. Due to the annuity withdrawal, she also believes this could speed up retirement for some employees that may have stayed longer. She stressed that she is doing this as she feels it is in the best interest of the employees and the city and she wants this to be the best place to work and while she may have a different opinion on this issue than some of her fellow council members, she respects their opinion and the employees and hope that they respect her opinion as well. Mayor Barnett stated that there were two requests from the public to speak. Pam Gerald, resident, stated that she has spoke up for public safety for many years and commented that a community is only as strong as its public safety and feels that people will stay if there are educational and promotional opportunities. She believes the city should do what it can to retain the public safety officers that are so valuable to the city and she hoped that Councilmember Knol could reconsider her position. Councilmember Knol clarified that she has always supported public safety including past wages and benefits but there are other ways and other benefits that could have been included in the bargaining agreement that she would have approved other than the defined benefit. Jim Etzin, Staff Lieutenant and President of the Farmington Hills Firefighters Association-Local 2659 of IAFF thanked Council for consideration of the agreement before them this evening and for their continued support of the Fire Department. He acknowledged he was joined this evening by many other fellow firefighters and their families and the reason was to thank Council for their work and making Farmington Hills a great place to live and work. He stated that he personally has always considered Councilmember Knol a friend of the firefighters and will continue to do so expressed great respect for this process and everyone’s opinion. Members of Council expressed support for the difference of opinion on this issue and support for public safety and all employees. Mayor Barnett spoke to the importance of returning to the days where longevity is respected and employees are provided opportunities to grow and train within the organization and the fact that the figures provided to council demonstrate the city is able to afford this change. City Clerk Smith clarified that two separate motions were required to approve each bargaining agreement. MOTION CARRIED 6-1 (Knol opposed). RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT WITH INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FIREFIGHTERS (IAFF). CMR 10-22-92 MOTION by Bridges, support by Bruce, that the City Council of Farmington Hills hereby authorizes the City Manager and the Assistant City Manager to execute a new Agreement with International Association of Firefighters (IAFF), in accordance with the terms and conditions in the Tentative Settlement Agreement ratified by the parties. Other members of Council commented that concerns expressed this evening stem from long-term financial concerns and those comments and opinions are appreciated. There was also additional support by Council for the defined benefit program to support the employees.
