ITEM # 7 SLIDE PRESENTATION OF THE OAKLAND COUNTY PARK SYSTEM The first order of business for 1974 will be to review the slides of the park system that will update you on the progress that has been made in 1973 and to also highlight our 1974 plans. You will find attached with this subject some information that highlights the background, finances and master plans of the park system. This subject should provide a good springboard for the information that we covered at our last meeting pertaining to the need for a new recreation funding program at the state level. A. The County's Role - The role of the county's recreational endeavors was based on the following objects. - It is th`6 ,_i (,, I i of t h(, �),ik land Cou! , t,�, P,a i ks a(-(iuirc, and establish a ( hain (-),f a t (, 1- r) T- � p!)

To develop these acquisitions in a manner that conserves our land and water resources and to make these resources attractive and desirable for intensive daily recreational use® to creat(> a present and future opportunity for enriching, construciav(� and healthy use of after work, weekend, vacation and i-etir(,lflerit time for an (->cpandinq population® )or- the above objective it becwi)o clear that the County's lf'sporlsit)jlity is to provide a system of county -wide facilities of suffi( io!! number, size and character to serve the "day-USe" I1c>� cis of ail th(, people of the County that would compliment local r 0 C, f 0 ','A t , - (,I facilities. All neighborhood arid community facilitios and !n;erv,, c,s were to be the responsibility of the local community, funds wore to be spent for this purpose, A. The County's Role (continued) The County also has a responsibility to assist and cooperate with local agencies and provide consultant services upon request. This would involve coordinating its programs with those of the other agencies. In order to achieve its objectives, the County established a separate commission with a professionally trained administration to carry out its policies and programs. B. RECREATIONAL NEEDS Major need include � 6,v(,ry acti.vits, ;n d'I'l—ti"C (a( ilit'(— overnight cwaping ac- .'011)rflodat ions o There is a tremel,do—, f(>r land to be acquired and held in public trust to mc�t-t the futurk, and present recreational needs of ALL of our peopl(�e Tht obje(-'five is to pro -vide opportunities for a wide variety of activities for groups and all individuals. F-very study shows a great deficiency in recreational facilitio-, in the County's area of responsibility, We are beginning to see what should have seemed obvious before, that recreation fof I an urban population is also an essential and vital service, not just some kind of lu),airy. The need becomes increasingly more critical as urbanization continues to develop. Our land and water based resources are rapidly being swallowed up in the encroachment of urbanization. The time to preserve these areas is now. The Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission is developing a park system that will not orily provide for the County's basic recreational heeds but also,larovide for special areas and facilities that cannot be Drovide_q _"ocal agencies due to financial as well as space limitations. C. FINANCING - continued -.c, ho a v, _ry idealistic or,(, t.o for. It va111 takE, _onfidonce and support of this "conc(,-W" coupfezI with= de,di(_atkd leadership to achiove this goals 3, ',incF thc> passage of the first millage in 1966, a total of over 2,20n acres of park land has been acquired, the properties purchased by the Parks and Recreation Commission amounted to $3,7 3,703, of which $1,377,135 were paid for by federal government grants. To assure a continuing implementation of planning and development, a second five (5) year, 1/4 mill proposal was submitted to voters in August, 1971. 'This proposal was passed by a two to one margin. As a result, the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission is moving forward in its objectives to provide one of the finest combination of Parks and Recreational systems in the ' nation. 4® Now pressures on .the reduction of federal funds have demanded the Commission to search for new sources of financing. These avenues are through private donations 5 and foundations.

Kent Smith, Landscape Architect for the Oakland County Planning Commission has prepared a preliminary study pertaining to bicycle and foot trails for Oakland County. It is important the Parks and Recreation Commission be informed as to what is going on in this area and Mr. Smith will be available at our meeting to make a short presentation and answer any questions that could help you better understand the County's role in bicycle and foot trails. A copy of the letter from Mr. Smith is attached for your information. OAKLAND COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION 1200 NORTH TELEGRAPH ROAD . PONTIAC, MICHIGAN 48053 COMMISSION MEMBERS ROGER H.

RICHARDS Watkins Lake Road NOV ) �� I�l:J Pontiac, Michigan RE: Bicyle & Foot -Trails for Oakland County. t+- V Dear Mr. Reickel: --_ Pursuent to our recent discussions concerning the feasibility and use of bicylcle and foot -trails in Oakland County (non -motorized transportation). It is apparent that a unified position on such uses should be forthcoming from the County Parks and Recreation Commission, Plannning Commission, and Road Commission. Having organized an effort here to encourage local participation in such a plan, it was my intent only to coordinate such efforts and show them together in composite map form. Funding for such facilities will be available under M.A. 327 and one new federal bill. The Michigan Bill does allocate funding to the State Highway Department, the County Road Commission and local municipalities, of the aggregate amount of approximately 45%, 357o and 20% respectively. I feel the county's role should be limited to un-incorporated areas, serving a function of part transportation and part recreational, possibly linking major park facilities. The HCMA and DNR are addressing themselves vigorously to the problem of bicycles (850,000 sold in Michigan in 1972) and are accelerating planning programs. Local communities, particularly those with recreation and traffic staff will be doing their own internal planning, (such as Southfield, Troy, Birmingham, etc.) and implementation through Mr. Eric Reickel Oakland County Parks & Recreation Commission Page 2 state funding. The county's role again should be to coordinate such efforts to promote a county- wide bike and trail system. I would hope that a definative position could be taken by the Parks and Recreation Commission and yourself to promote such a plan. As of this date, the Planning Commission has been twice appraised of progress to date and support the concept. I would be glad to present to you and the commission a similiar progress report at your convenience. Very )jruly Fours, Ke(nt W. mith Landscap Architect KWS/jd SAMPLE R E S O L U T I O N RESOLVED this day of January, 1974 by the OAKLAND COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION that WHEREAS THE OAKLAND COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION COM- MISSION is endeavoring to provide park and recreation areas in OAKLAND COUNTY to serve local units of government during their leisure time and WHEREAS the preliminary master plans of the Commission project a need for $25 million dollars to complete this program Wes. WHEREAS the funding of the 1/4 mill voted by the people of Oakland County does not generate enough income to accomplish this program and WHEREAS it is common knowledge that the present federal and state funding programs are not being funded and WHEREAS the state and federal programs that helped provide funds to accomplish this goal in the past are being de- emphasized or eliminated and THEREFORE THE OAKLAND COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION encourages the Governor of the State of Michigan and the State Legislature to develop a new Park and Recreation Funding Program that will not only assist the OAKLAND COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION to help accomplish their immediate and long range goals but also assist other local agencies with their program. ADOPTED this, — day of January, 1974. ITEM #9 RECREATION SUPERVISOR The need for the position of Recreation Supervisor has been brought to your attention and discussed in previous meetings, the last of which permission was granted to work with the Personnel Department and develop a job description and salary range. This has been completed and permission is now being requested to actively seek and hire a person for this position. There is an enormous amount of work to be done in organizing and promoting the new mobile program for this summer. Any delay in filling this position could have direct effects on the success and acceptance of the program. Attached you will find a copy of the job description and salary range for this position.
