Proposed Amendment #1 to Oakland County Sheriff’s Office Parks Unit 2017/2018 Contract
Manager of Parks and Recreation Operations Sue Wells provided the Commission with an update on the law
enforcement patrol services for Oakland County Parks and Recreation that has been contracted with Oakland
County Sheriff’s Office since 1990. The purpose of the contract is to provide our visitors with a safe and enjoyable
experience with trained professional law enforcement personnel providing the patrol duties within the parks
Oakland County Sheriff Office Lieutenant Kelly Sexton advised during this past year the Sheriff’s Office - Parks Unit
has experienced a dramatic increase in operational demands. This workload has increased disproportionately to
the current capabilities of the full-time staff. They have tried to mitigate this issue by attempting to fill the part-time
positions with experienced retirees. This strategy has proven to be beneficial, but extremely difficult to do on any
significant level as these individuals are rarely found. Their institutional knowledge has been the foundation of the
successful day-to-day operations and their inevitable departure will create a crippling void. Consequently, the real
and lasting solution is to add an additional full-time Deputy II Patrol Investigator position to the Parks Unit.
Moved by Mr. McGillivray, supported by Mr. Baumhart to approve the Proposed 2017-2018 Contract for
Sheriff Law Enforcement Services – Amendment #1 with the Oakland County Sheriff's Office for Law
Enforcement Services with the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission in an amount we
understand to be $109,134 which will be prorated for three-months in FY2018, $27,283. The final
confirmed amount will be provided by the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office and the Oakland County Fiscal
Services Department, and will be provided to the Commission at the July 11, 2018 OCPR Commission
meeting.
