INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
In order to remain compliant with a 2019 administrative consent order issued by the Michigan
Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, some municipalities served by the
Evergreen-Farmington Sewage Disposal System (EFSDS), petitioned the Water Resources
Commissioner for the creation of an intra-county drainage district pursuant to Chapter 20 of the
Michigan Drain Code, to authorize a project to address wastewater treatment and pollution control
issues.
POLICY ANALYSIS
This is a request for the transfer and assignment of the Evergreen-Farmington Sewage Disposal
System (EFSDS) assets and liabilities to the Evergreen-Farmington Sanitary Drain Drainage
District. This is per Section 471 of the Michigan Drain Code, with the inclusion of any bond or debt
obligation; the completion of any book entry or financial accounting to complete the conversion,
transfer and assignment; and the execution of any conversion, transfer, or assignment document.
The request for transfer initiated with two of the CVTs participating in the Evergreen-Farmington
system.
The Public Corporations (15 CVTs involved) have signed the 471 agreement. The assets and
liabilities are to transfer to the Drain Board. The County’s full faith and credit pledge will remain.
The Drainage Board and the Public Corporations acknowledged that such outstanding debt
obligations will continue to be serviced in the manner that they are currently being serviced, and that
the Drainage District shall continue to pay the County the amounts necessary to meet all such bond
payments, debt service, and obligations until and unless otherwise agreed between the Drainage
District and the County. Corporation Counsel has reviewed and approved. A budget amendment is
not required.

Chair and Members of the Board:
WHEREAS by Miscellaneous Resolution No. 7674, adopted September 2, 1976, and pursuant to the
provisions of Act No. 342 of the Public Acts of Michigan of 1939, as amended (Act 342), the County
of Oakland established the Evergreen-Farmington Sewage Disposal System (EFSDS) and
designated the Oakland County Drain Commissioner, now the Oakland County Water Resources
Commissioner, as the county agency for the System pursuant to Act 342 with all the powers and
duties with respect to the acquisition, construction and financing of facilities for the System as are
provided by law especially Act 342; and
WHEREAS the Cities of Auburn Hills, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Farmington, Farmington Hills,
Keego Harbor, Lathrup Village, Orchard Lake Village, Southfield, and Troy, and the Villages of
Beverly Hills, Bingham Farms, and Franklin, and the Charter Townships of Bloomfield and West
Bloomfield are the public corporations that make up the Evergreen-Farmington System; and
WHEREAS the County Agency and the Public Corporations serviced by the EFSDS entered into the
Evergreen and Farmington Sewage Disposal Systems Intermunicipal Contract Concerning
Wastewater Treatment and Pollution Control Projects, dated September 30, 1989, as amended; and
WHEREAS certain of the Public Corporations petitioned for the location, establishment and
construction of an intra-county drain project consisting of the sewage disposal system previously
known as the EFSDS and all improvements necessary or prudent to bring the EFSDS into
compliance with Administrative Consent Order 04995 entered by the State of Michigan Department of
the Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy on August 14, 2019; and
WHEREAS the drain project was named the Evergreen-Farmington Sanitary Drain and named the
drainage district composed of the Public Corporations, the Evergreen-Farmington Sanitary Drain
Drainage District. The Public Corporations are to be assessed for the Drain, pursuant to Chapter 20
of the Michigan Drain Code, Act No. 40 of the Public Acts of Michigan of 1956, as amended, and the
Final Order of Determination as executed by the Chairperson of the Drainage Board on November
17, 2020; and
WHEREAS the Drainage Board and the Public Corporations entered into an agreement pursuant to
Section 471 of the Drain Code to fully satisfy the terms of the petition and allow for the issuance of
bonds to finance the Project; supersede and replace the Act 342 Agreement; provide for the
operations, maintenance, and administration of the Project and the Drainage District by the Drainage
Board; acknowledge responsibilities with respect to outstanding debt obligations issued to finance
EFSDS improvements; and promote communication by and among the Drainage Board and the
Public Corporations; and
WHEREAS the entire cost of the Project and the entire cost for the operations, maintenance, and
administration of the Drainage District is to be assessed against the Public Corporations pursuant to
Chapter 20 of the Drain Code or otherwise provided by law; and
WHEREAS the Public Corporations and the Drainage Board acknowledged that the EFSDS is
transferred to and established as the Drain in accordance with law and the Administrative Consent
Order’s notice provisions. The Drainage Board is responsible for the operations, maintenance, and
administration of the Drainage District in accordance with Chapter 20 of the Drain Code; and
WHEREAS the Drainage Board and the Public Corporations acknowledged that there are
outstanding debt obligations issued by the County for improvements to the EFSDS. The Drainage
Board and the Public Corporations covenanted and agreed that, so long as any such bonds or other
debt obligations remain outstanding and unpaid, there will be no impairment of the security for the
bonds or other obligations or the prompt payment of principal or interest thereon. The Drainage Board
and the Public Corporations acknowledged that such outstanding debt obligations will continue to be
serviced in the manner that they are currently being serviced, and that the Drainage District shall
continue to pay the County of Oakland the amounts necessary to meet all such bond payments, debt
service, and obligations until and unless otherwise agreed between the Drainage District and the
County. The Drainage Board and the Public Corporations further acknowledged that with respect to
any debt issued pursuant to Act 342, the Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner will
continue in the capacity as County Agency, as designated and appointed by the County for the
EFSDS for carrying out the purposes of and exercising the powers and duties vested in any contract
entered into by and among the County and any of the Public Corporations pursuant to Act 342.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
authorizes and approves the following actions:
1. The transfer and assignment of EFSDS assets and liabilities to the EFSD in accordance with
applicable law, the 471 Agreement, and any bond or other debt obligation.
2. The completion of any book entry or internal financial accounting changes to complete the
conversion, transfer, and assignment.
3. The execution of any necessary or prudent conversion, transfer, or assignment document.

OAKLAND COUNTY
WATER RESOURCES COMMISSIONER MEMORANDUM
TO: Yolanda Smith Charles, Chairperson
Economic Development and Infrastructure Committee
FROM: Carrie Cox, P.E., Special Projects Manager
SUBJECT: Transfer of Assets and Liabilities from the Evergreen-Farmington Sewage
Disposal System to the Evergreen-Farmington Sanitary Drain Drainage District
DATE: June 7, 2023
In order to remain compliant with a 2019 administrative consent order issued by the Michigan
Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, some municipalities served by the Evergreen-
Farmington Sewage Disposal System (EFSDS), petitioned the Water Resources Commissioner for
the creation of an intra-county drainage district pursuant to Chapter 20 of the Michigan Drain Code, to
authorize a project to address wastewater treatment and pollution control issues.
The new drainage district was established on November 17, 2020, for the benefit of the municipalities
within the EFSDS. Those municipalities include the Cities of Auburn Hills, Birmingham, Bloomfield
Hills, Farmington, Farmington Hills, Keego Harbor, Lathrup Village, Orchard Lake Village, Southfield,
and Troy, along with the Villages of Beverly Hills, Bingham Farms, and Franklin, and the Charter
Townships of Bloomfield and West Bloomfield.
The new drainage district and the above-named municipalities entered into an agreement to allow for
the issuance of bonds to finance the project, supersede and replace the existing Act 342 agreement,
and provide for the operation, maintenance, and administration of the project. The district
acknowledges its responsibilities with respect to any outstanding debt obligations previously issued to
finance EFSDS improvements. It also acknowledges that the entire cost of the project and all costs
associated with the operation, maintenance, and administration of the district, is to be assessed
against the municipalities.
Both the drainage district, and the municipalities it serves, further acknowledge that the EFSDS is
transferred to and established as the EFSDDD in accordance with the law and the administrative
consent order’s notice provisions. The district further acknowledges that there will be no impairment
of the security for the bonds currently outstanding and that those bonds will continue to be serviced
without interruption.
Requested Action: Adopt the accompanying resolution transferring the assets and liabilities
of the Evergreen-Farmington Sewage Disposal System to the Evergreen-Farmington Sanitary
Drain Drainage District.
