Legacy of Parks In compliance with the Department of Housing and Urban Development's request, the park commiss•ion's application for a $958,000. development grant was re -submitted on February 17, 1972. This application was first submitted in June, 1971. At that time the A-95 Federal Review Procedure was not rigidly enforced. Now it is, and presently this application is in the process of being reviewed by five State agencies. The grant application was challenged by "The Michigan Civil Rights Commission". However, a meeting with the Rights Commission's Federal Liaison agent proved fruitful and they elected to make no formal expression in regards to this application. Springfield -Oaks Youth Activities Center Lease The preliminary operating -management lease between the Parks Commission and Oakland County is being reviewed by Civil Counsel. This review should be completed shortly. It is expected that the Board of Auditors will recommend that the County underwrite the expected deficits incurred from the operation of the Center. It is hoped that the Board of Commissioner's will approve this concept. Parks and Recreation - 4-H Coordination A coalition of effort, between these two agencies, is underway to effect a functional format for the August 1972 Oakland County 4-H Fair to be held here. Cooperation is good. First phase construction at the Youth Activities Center provides the following. 1. Multi -Purpose and Service Unit - 9,000 sq. ft. for meetings, includes toilet and first -aid area. 2. Exhibit Hall - 8,400 sq. ft. for large exhibits, stows, etc. f 3. Outdoor Arena - 120' wide by 245' long (lighted with judges stand P.A. system. 4. Site improvements include entrance and circulation road, parking, grading, etc. 5. Water Tank - 150,000 gallon capacity to provide fire protection and water for initial and future needs. The total cost for the initial development was approximately $800,000 paid by The County of Oakland, from general tax funds. Second phase site improvements are urgently needed to allow the site to be used fully as was intended. Facilities which are needed now and in the near future include: Second Phase Site Improvements 1. Seating and fencing at the existing arena area - 2,300 seats $35,000. 2. Two horse barns (70 horses each) (toilet facilities) $50,000. 3. Development of horse show and exercise area $20,000. 4. Site utility improvements (lighting, water extension, sanitary) $30,000 5. Additional Road Development $10,000 Total Construction $145,000 Engineering $10,000 Contingency $15,000 -Total Estimated Cost $170,000 Third Phase Improvements 1. Two additional horse barns $50,000 2. Dome installation at existing arena (cost unknown) 3. Expansion of Exhibit Hall 200,000 4. Elevated Cross -Walk 75,000 5. Additional Site development 75,000 (2) 0 Parking will become an immediate and perplexing problem for th-e 1972 4-H Fair. This is essentially a 4-H problem. However, should the Parks and Recreation Commission ever contemplate Sponsorship of a large fair or carnival, parking will become our own problem. The terrain available for parking is uneven. The cost of grading this terrain is unknown. One possible immediate solution to this major problem is to immediately negotiate for the purchase of the twenty (20) acres of farmland to the south. MAJOR OPENING EVENT Target date for the "grand opening" of the Youth Activities Center is Saturday, May 27 and Sundav May 28, 1972. An entertainment format will be developed by the Cooperative Extension Service (4-H) and Oakland County Parks and Recreation. On May 30,31 and June 1, 1972, the Oakland County Sheriff's Organization will sponsor the Miller - Johnson Circus here. We are now beginning the search for 5,000 seats for this' event. Both the Open House and the Circus will be the attraction to draw citizens of Oakland County here to see their new facility. The circus will be conducted outside on the parking lot. One of several possible types of shows and events which could be developed for the Parks and Recreation's part is an antique car show. Rental Rates Comparative analysis are being conducted to determine a feasible rental rates for the Springfield -Oaks facilities. Recommendations will soon be submitted. ManaQer's Residences Drawings and specifications for manager's,residences at Springfield and Independence are nearly ready to be submitted for bids. Invitations to bid will be sent by the first week in April, with responses requested by mid - April, and contracts to be reviewed for approval by early May. If contracts are approved and let, by mid - May these residences should be finished by early September. L_iguor License, application for Springfield Oaks Mr. Claude Trim, Springfield Township Supervisor has been contacted twice with regards to Oakland County Parks and Recreation's intent to apply for a liquor license for the Springfield -Oaks Clubhouse. Mr. Trim has given no encour- agement with respect to how he thinks the township board (3) will vote sn this request. Mr. Trim has invited the writer to make a ?resentation in behalf of Oakland County Parks and Recreation on Wednesday, April 5, 1972 at 7:00 p�m�, Present indications are that the Township board will vote 3 to 2 against granting the liquor license. Self-Su2po,t!once,_, Springfield and Waterford -Oaks In California, Parks and Rocreation agencies strive to recover 33 percent of their expenditures. In California, the seventy- seven (77) fairs belonging to Western Fair Association recover about 85 percent of their expenditures while providing a greater nuaber of recreational opportunities than California'a Parks and recreation industry. In Memphis Tennessee, the Parks and lecreation industry operates the Tennessee State Fair, and vhn fair subsidizes the recreation program of that city. Therefore, it seems that a blending of the two industries may be necessary to the fulfillment of this self-support concept at Springfield. Waterford -Oaks Waterford -Oaks has near future prospects for self -sustenance. Efforts to obtain the release of the $750,000. D.N.R. grant for an ice rink and pool have begun. If the ice rink can be implementej by September 1973, Waterford might break even in 19744 Addison -Oaks Historical Site ARRlication and The Legacy of Parks. The research necessary to apply for nomination of the Buhl Mansion as an historical site has been completed by Robert Coffey. The application has been finished and submitted. If acceptee, the nomination of the Buhl Mansion as a historical site will provide our $958,000 Legacy of Parks application with a betLe: chance for acceptance. Michigan SyaAe Highway. - Parks and Recreation Land Trade At DavisburR March 9, 1972, John Kozenco and Joseph Molinare of the Michigan State Highway Department regards to the proposed land trade iL 1-75 & M-275 interchange. Kozenco and Molinare said they are proceeding to effectuate the previyusly declared intent of the Park Commission, to swap ten (10) acres at the proposed interchange site for twenty (201 acres to the South of the 4-H fairgrounds, Thev stated that the normal time period involved is approximatel-11, 18 months. 'wherefore, the Parks Commission should not count on the use cf the land to the South before November 1973. Unless this, land to the South, is rented or !eased by 4-H or the County, it cannot be used for urgently needed parking spaces duriag the 1972 - 1973 4-H Fairs, (4) The State Highway Department (Kozenco and Molinare) did outline two options to the aforestated land trade procedure: Parks could acquire the South 20 acres now, and the State Highway Department will enter into an agreement to reimburse Parks for the cost of purchase plus attorney's and appraisal fees,in October or November IL973 (the originally scheduled land trade time). 2ELLa -,a# 2 Parks might buy the South 20 acres now, "zid Sell it to the Highway Department in 1973 at the "then existing land prices". The sale of the 20 acres being the consideration of the grant of the ten acre interchange.
