Dear Mr. Edwards:
111is is to notify you that off-ectivo February 1, 1969 1 will' resign
from the Oakland County Parks and Roccation C"Owmaission. I find that the
requirements and pressure of of or duties walk0:5 it imi)o5siblO for 1110 to
continue as a merabor of this co=Ussioll-
I have been a momber of this Comi,,,Assion siacc its organization. In
A"C 0,
the short period of time that the Oa-l',land Coull"LY Parks a11 "' cr atiOl"
Comzission has been organized, it 'I1a5 cowio fai- beyond any expoctations
I had. TI-ic amount of land the Comwizsioa teas boon able to obtain, the
reasonable prices that it paid and t10 acceptance of the Fos oral Govern-
mont in matching 50% on every pioco the CO=issiOn has Purchased, seems
to and to be extra ordinary and it wo-ald Soora its diroctor and members are
working very diligontly in the interest of the taxpayer of Oakland County.
I am hopeful that now n.oWbors -;,,projjjtcd to the Oilkland County Parks
and 1wcreation Commission in the -i"U'Luro, is donc With PaOP10 who itave
vision for t1le future ncoda of parks and pccroatioij arca for the people.
Thee people I have worked with oft this�'Cofll' is' Sioll llavc bean 0 ic t0d to
that principal.
71io Parks and Recreation Commis-sioa is County oriented. It is a
member of the Oakland County family and works vory closely With thO
County agencies and follows County practices 111 all Of its administrative
aspects.
It is with deep rogmts that I find it necessary to severe Ay
relations with this CohmisSiCa.
Sincerely,
ijaaiol T. Murphy

SKEET AND TRAP SHOOTING FACILITY
These facilities have been inspected and found to
have the very best of equipment. The trap houses are new
and in a good state of repair. There is a new foundation
with a pre -cast floor that a clubhouse was being started
on. This building should be finished and could be finished
fairly reasonable.
The range does not seem to be laid out properly. The
angles should be checked and corrected if necessary.
The attached projection of use and income was
furnished by a Mr. Adler who is interested and enthused
about taking over the operation on a concession basis.
It is my opinion that these projections are over
enthusiastic and a practical approach would be closer to
35 percent of what is shown, however, the facility is first
class, has a considerable amount of money invested in it
and should be put to use if it is at all possible to do it
on a self sustaining basis.
