AGENDA ITEM #5
Youth Activities Master Plan
Kent Smith of the county Planning Commission has prepared a
study of the activity flow that we anticipate at the Youth
Activities Center. This deals with the grounds and how the
pedestrian traffic, the automobile traffic and the animal
traffic should be controlled in this area. The purpose of
this study is to identify these areas so a landscape plan
can be incorporated.
As far as I know, the landscaping is the responsibility of
the County Commissioners, but I felt that it was important
that the Parks and Recreation Commission be aware of the
ultimate development of this area.
AGENDA ITEM #6
Waterford -Oaks Master Plan
Joseph Joachim of Swanson Associates will be present at the
meeting to discuss the preliminary findings for the master
plan at Waterford -Oaks.
A series of meetings with various groups in the area were held
to discuss the recreational needs that are apparent in the local
park and recreation agencies. The purpose of this presentation
will be to acquaint you with what we have accomplished and some
of the ideas that have been presented by the participating
groups. It is not the intent that the master plan be adopted
at this time but only to give you a presentation on the direction
we are going.
We will also be requesting your opinion in reference to the
direction you want us to take in hiring a parks and recreation
consultant to work with the Swanson Associates to do the land
use study and the layout of the recreational activities.
AGENDA ITEM #7
Request To Purchase A "Cutaletter" Mark 1
The need for a uniform sign system in the Oakland County Parks
is long overdue. I have looked at many sign systems and I
would like to recommend that the "Cutaletter" Mark 1, sold by
Game Time Incorporated of Litchfield, Michigan, is by far the
best I have seen.
This system was used by the Bucks County Parks and Recreation
Department and was very successful. I have a slide presentation
that will be available at the commission meeting so you may see
the quality of this program. The estimated cost for this piece
of equipment is just shy of $2,000.
It is my recommendation that the Commission authorize this
purchase and that there is no advantage to putting it out to
bid.
