The bids will be computed and recommendations made at the Commission meeting. Item #8 WELFARE WORK PROGRAM This office has been contacted by DFO requesting that the Parks and Recreation Commission participate in a Welfare Work Program. This program is available to the Commission at a minimal cost which would be lunches for the workers and the cost of a supervisor at approxi- mately $5.00 per hour. There is no money available in the budget to participate in this program. It is requested that monies from the Contingency Fund be used to implement this project. We have used the program in the past and have found it to be very successful. Workers were used at Addison -Oaks for clearing the grounds, underbrush, erecting snow fences, etc. The County has a surplus of welfare workers available and is very anxious that we participate in this program. Figures should be available as to the estimated cost of the project at the meeting. Item #9 1974 YEAR END AUDIT In accordance with Commission request we have obtained three estimates from local qualified Certified Public Accounting Firms for a year-end audit of our financial records. A copy of each estimate is enclosed for your review. A summary of their proposals is as follows: Janz & Knight $4,500 - $6,500. James F. Moore & Co. 6,000 - 7,000. Ernst & Ernst 9,000 - 11,000. In view of the equal ability of each firm, we recommend acquiring the services of the low bidder, Janz & Knight. They have estimated a finish date by the first week in March.

F_ To -the Members of the Parks & Recreation Commission Oakland County, Michigan Ladies and Gentlemen: I am pleased to respond to Mr. Reickel's request that our firm submit a written proposal to continue to serve the Parks and Recreation Commission as its independent auditors and accountants for the year ending December 31, 1974. I would like to extend my best wishes to each of you for a happy and prosperous New Year. I would also like to welcome those of you who are new to the Commission and offer my congratulations to each of you upon your appointment as commissioners. Ernst & Ernst completed the initial examination of the financial statements for the Parks and Recreation Commission for the year ended December 31, 1973 last spring. Because of the knowledge and experience gained during that audit I believe we are in an ideal position to: Conduct a highly efficient examination of the financial statements of the Parks and Recreation Commission for 1974. Provide such additional related services as the Commission may request. On December 31, 1974, I had the opportunity to meet your net,, - accountant, iir. Charles Ross. I was pleased }o be able to discuss with him certain of the accounting practices and procedures of the Parks and Recreation Commission. I was particularly impressed that Mr. Ross had already begun to study the recommendations which we submitted following completion of our initial audit, and I can assure you that we look forward to working closely with Mr. Ross and to providing whatever assistance he may desire in implementing these recommendations. As you know, our fees are based on the amount_ of time expended by our personnel multiplied by -rates which we believe are competitive with those charged by organizations offering similar services, plus out-- of-pocket expenses. I would estimate that our fees for the examination of the Commission's financial statements for the year ending December 31, 1974 will range between $9,000 and $11,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses. ERNST & ERNST Members of the Parks & Recreation Commission Page 2. We mentioned in our initial proposal a. year ago that "at Ernst & Ernst, we believe that renderir_j services to governmental units not only adds materially to the prestige of our.fi.-rn, but more importantly, represents a worthwhile contribution to better -government". We appreciate the opportunity we.h?ve had of serving the Parks and Recreation Commission as its independent auditors and accountants and look forward to continuing in that capacity. be most pleased to meat wit^ vr-L at. your meet7.nQ on January 10, 1975 to answer any questions which you may have concerning this proposal.

The estimated cost for the audit of the books and records of the Commission for the year ended December 31, 1974 would be from $4,500.00 to $6,500.00. The foregoing is applicable to items one through four of your year-end audit guidelines. Item five of the audit guidelines ("To perform such other related services as may be requested by the Commission") is of such a broad scope that a reasonable estimate of the time involved is not possible. In accordance with your request, a partial list of the muni- cipalities for which we perform audits is as follows: Township of White Lake Mr. Ferd Vetter, Clerk Telephone 363-8383; Township of Oxford Mrs. Clara Sanderson, Clerk Telephone 628-3965; Village of Wolverine Lake Mrs. Irene Savich, Clerk Telephone 624-1710; City of Orchard Lake Village Mrs. Yvonne Coates, Clerk Telephone 682-2400; Village of Franklin Mrs. Helen Steckley, Clerk Telephone 626-9666; Village of Clarkston Mr. Art Pappas, Treasurer Telephone 625-5827.

CARLENE THOMAS, C.P.A. GEORGE E. FELLOWS. C.P.A. Mr. Chuck Ross Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission 2800 Watkins Lake Road Pontiac, Michigan 48054 Dear Mr. Ross: January 2, 1975 We are pleased to offer our services to examine your organization's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1974. Our objective would be to examine the balance sheet as of December 31, 1974 and the related income and expenses and fund balances for the year then ended. Our examination would be made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly would include such tests of the accounting records and such other audit- ing procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances to express an opinion on the financial statements. During our examination we will watch for any suggestions we might think desireable for improving your accounting records or proced- ures and, if we encounter any, will write a separate letter of our recommendations. James F. Moore & Company is a local firm of certified public account- ants which was started in 1949. We have a diversified clientele. Our experience in auditing governmental or public bodies includes Clarkston Community Schools, since 1950, Family and Children Services of Oakland County, since 1963, and Brandon School District, since 1966. Fees for our services are based on the time required to complete our assignment. Every effort will be made to keep our services to the minimum consistent with the requirements of the engagement. We esti- mate that our fee for the initial examination for the year ended Dec- ember 31, 1974 will range between $ 6,000 and $ 7,000. Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal.

Tennis Courts 22 18 Softball Diamonds 28 7 Horseshoe Pits 18 5 Archery Ranges 0 1 indoor Shuffleboard Courts 16 3 indoor Population 88,000 65,000 According to standards set up by the National Recreation and Parks Association, the figures above fall below the basic standards. The proposed complex: at Waterford --Oaks would add iru easur.ably to Waterford Township's facilities and would provide Pontiac resi- dents with adequate facilities through traveling a very short distance. Of course, Waterford -Oaks is an Oakland County Park. With the park being situated near the geographical center_ of the County, every resident in the County can reach the facility within thirty minutes' driving time. Another aspect to take into consideration is that Waterford - Oaks will have more innovative and diversified activities than any park in the State of Michigan. With the conglomeration of athletic activities available, this park will draw people in from all over the state, as well as serving the needs of Oakland County residents. FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY OF PROGRAMS AMID ACTIVITIES' WATT RFORD-OAKS COLINTYl. PARK The following is a listing of the programs that we feel can be offered at Waterford -Oaks. The programs are further broken down to give an idea of the revenue that could be generated at such a facility. We have also .included -what overhead (staff, awards, etc.) we would have in such a program.. A prime factor to keep in mind when reviewing this study is that all activities were programmed at maximum use. Of course, it would probably take three to five years to reach this optimum level. -2- BOYS BASEBALL 6 Leagues with. 8 teams per league Four fields in use: Times: 9:00 `:_ 10:30 M-W T-Th 10:30 12:00 M-W T-Th 12:00 1:30 M-W T-Th. 7 weeks playing `-_-_e.

It is located only minutes away from the City of Pontiac and is located near the geographic center of the County. The facility is easily accessible by main thoroughfares such as Interstate 75, Dixie Highway (U.S. 10), Telegraph Road (U.S. 24), and Woodward Avenue (U.S. 1). The Waterford -Oaks Park is an Indoor -Outdoor Recreation Complex that is designed to provide an assortment of physical activity centers with emphasis on recreational lifetime pursuits. These areas include swimming, tennis, baseball -softball, archery, bicycling, physical fitness, horseshoe, handball, paddleball, deck tennis, nature area, wijtte sports areas and special childrens petting zoo. l '�7 According to the State Recreation Plan, recreational needs in the Pontiac -Waterford area are not being met. This develop- ment will not only assist this immediate area in reaching those goals, but will serve as a regional recreation service center within an hours drive of four million people. The purpose of the Waterford -Oaks Park Development contained in this program statement is to provide an outdoor leisure swim center. This concept will include a WaveTek Automated swimming pool designed for total family enjoyment. Water depth varies from eight foot maximum to zero. Throughout the day, waves are automatically sequenced to intervals of 15 minutes wave action to 10 minutes of calm water and the 3 1/2 foot waves can be varied in height. In addition to the WaveTek Pool, a bathhouse, entrance road, utilities, parking lot and picnic area will be provided. $750,000 of the State Recreation Bond Grant will be used to help finance the estimated cost of $1.25 to $1.5 million first phase. The Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission recommends this concept as the first phase because of its unique quality and concept as well as meeting certain outdoor swimming deficiencies in Oakland County. There are only four public outdoor swimming pools which are located in South Oakland County exclusively. The many beaches located in Oakland County are almost exclusively private and the remaining public beaches are threated by over- crowdedness, pollution and excess watercraft activity. The WaveTek Pool provides a fresh, sanitary and exciting new concept in leisure swimming experience. Based on a "Leisure Time Activity in Oakland County" study prepared for the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission and the Oakland County Planning Commission, conducted by the Center for Urban Studies, Dearborn Campus, University of Michigan in January, 1969, it was determined that swimming was high as a leisure time pursuit by the Oakland County residents, headed only by driving and picnicking. Moderate fees would be charged to help offset the operations overhead of the facility as well as fees for other parts of the park development. User fees were also determined by the Univer- sity of Michigan study as a popular way to help provide recreational activities. Future phases of the park development will be (1) Tennis facilities that will include a stadium tennis court with perma- nent seating available (2) Baseball and softball complex (3) Physicall fitness area with an obstacle course (4) Handball, paddleball and deck tennis areas (5) Leisure lawn and garden area which will include horseshoes and shuffleboard (6) Leisure activities such as archery and childrens petting zoo. A study completed by the Planning Division of SEMCOG showed that the Oakland County area is the fastest growing area in Southeast Michigan. This park will serve the recreation needs of its citizens now and in the future. Future plans of the park will require continued funds from Federal, State and Local level. - 2 - WATERFORD-OAKS INIASTER PLAN FACT SHEET What: A concept for a 165-acre park designed for active recreation use and special attractions.

Visit to Decatur, Alabama Wave Pool. Purpose: To observe operation and get answers to basic questions. 1. The pool has handled as many as 500 to 600 people (wall to wall). Another pool would be a better answer than a larger one. It would become unwieldly to handle and supervise. 2. The deck space is adequate. Any larger space would only encourage more people to use the pool at one time which isn't practical. The carpeted deck works very well. 3. The Locker, Shower and Toilet facilities are as follows: Men Women Lockers 300 (50-6 high) 156 (26-6 high) Toilets 8 8 Urinals 8 (2 low) Lavatories 6 4 Showers 3 column 4 cubicles (2 high, 1 low) 4 open wall Dressing Cubicles 4 Hair Dryers 2 Large open dressing areas with benches ;are provided. 4. The toll booth entry point has handled up to 1400 in one day for the two pools and beach area. Should check this further. 5. An accurate parking count is yet to 'be determined. 6o The percentage of people arriving b; various means of travel is being surveyed by the park. Many come in tl-,eir swim suits. 7. The picric area handles overflow, but more information is needed.

I am sure there would have been extensive additional damage at the Davisburg Mill Pond Dam, along with possible damage to the City of Holly, if your group had not provided assistance in sandbagging the dam_ It is speculated that without the sandbags, the dam would have ruptured completely.

Because the largest contingent of family and friends live in Oakland County I suggested to my siblings that we have `the event at Addison -Oaks having remembered your description of the place when you were visiting here. We could not have been more pleased. Not only is the facility itself splendid and aptly suited for the purpose for which you are using it, but the staff and the service were just right. The meal that we were served was the best I've ever had in a ',banquet setting. I had occasion to talk to some members of the wedding party that was going on at the same time, and they too were'tremendously:impressed. This is to congratulate you and your staff for providing such a 'perfect setting for what turned out,"', -to be a very beautiful party. Sincerely, & RECU. AUG � Nelson K.

Frank Richardson Chairman James W. Ounleavy Vice -Chairman Lewis E. Wint Secretary e Velma M. Austin Fred L. Harris George W. Kuhn Joseph R. Montante Richard V. Vogt Richard R. Wilcox The Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission went on record at their last meeting, objecting to the language in H.R. 6763, Page 4, lines 10-14, "No grants shall be made under the terms of this Act for the acquisition or development of any recreation site or facility at which a discriminatory charge is made based on the State of residence of the user, or to which any other discriminatory charges or practices are sanctioned." The controversial word in this statement is "discriminatory". Most Michigan recreation and park agencies have residency require- ments in variable fee programs. Most of them are reasonable and are necessary because it is felt that the local jurisdiction has accepted the responsibility of providing and accepting the cost of operation of their recreational programs and facilities and ask that. the non-residents pay a little bit more in order to help offset this operation burden. The Federal government has been generous over the years in pro- viding Open Space funds through the HUD Open Space Act, as well as the Land & Water Conservation Fund, but these funds have only provided the opportunity to acquire property and build facilities, and in doing so, has greatly increased the budget of all parks and recreation agencies pertaining to the operation of these parks. We.feel that if we are restricted in charging additional fees for non-residents, it will reflect on an increased burden on the general ,tax funds which I don't believe anyone wants. So, the Commission requests that if you have any influence in getting this portion of H.R. 6763 deleted, it would be in the best interest of all citizens concerned. Addison - Oaks • Groveland - Oaks • Independence - Oaks • Waterford - Oaks • White Lake - Oaks • Springfield - Oaks Page 2 Representative Broomfield w August 19, 1975 I generally agree with the bill and look forward to increased funding, but I feel that this is very discriminatory language when it deals with disallowing us from charging variable fees to residents and non-residents. Your attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated. . Sin erely, R.

The Commission would like to be released from the obligation, as per your two-year occupancy of your residence, because the construction site abuts on your residence and necessitates its eventual removal. I would like to. meet with you as soon as possible, at your convenience, to discuss the arrangements that may be necessary in order to resolve any inconvenience to you. We presently have a'house available within the park that you could reside in until your obligation with the County.expires on February 28, 1976, or if this is not agreeable, we can discuss other possibilities.
