Purchasing has no recommendation. The Fastaire specified by Clyde has no
heat coils, the theory being that it can be vented to the attic through an
interior wall and the heat utilized. It is one of the many "solar" type
products that are being introduced. It draws 7 amps.
The Model RA bid by World Dryer is the more conventional recess mount dryer
with heat coils. It draws 20 amps. World Dryer does not manufacture a unit
like the one specified. Evidently American Dryer also does not as they did
not quote. Pricing is close enough so that the type of system desired should
determine the award.

MARTIN ROAD ICE RINK PROPOSAL
City of Ferndale Mayor Bernard Lennon, Byron Photiades,
Director of Parks and Recreation, and staff will be present
to present their case that pertains to their desire for the
Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission to operate
their Martin Road Ice Rink.
I have extracted some information that they have sent
me pertaining to this ice rink that you may find of interest
and to give you some background as to their problems. I
would suggest that you listen to their case, but I would
think it wise to try not to come up with any answer or
solution until there has been a further study.
My letter that is enclosed with the package to
Mr. Photiades dated July 2, 1979, explains the position the
Commission has taken over the years pertaining to operating
local facilities which are identified as their responsibility.

A lease arrangement with the city, he states, would deviate

Jon Kipke referred your letter to me'pertaining to your City Manager's
request for a possible lease arrangement concerning the operation of Ferndale's
outdoor artificial ice rink located at Martin Road Park.
i am sorry to inform you that this deviates tremendously from the policy
tof the Parks and Recreation Commission which is to provide parks and facilities
That do not duplicate, but complement, local city departments. It would be a
very poor precedent for the Commission to go into a city and operate an arti-
ficial ice rink for them when that is Identified as the local municipality's
responsibility. I am sure you understand that if we operated Ferndale's rink,
who is to say that we shouldn't operate rinks for Oak Park, Royal Oak, Birmingham,
etc. I am sure you get the point.
We appreciate your thinking of the Oakland County Parks and Recreation
Commission and it's a compliment to think that we would be capable of operating
this facility but in the sense as stated, there is no way that the Commission
could interpret this request that would fit within Its operation.

Honorable Mayor
and City Council
Dear Council Members:
"GOOD
NEIGHBORS"
The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board takes great pride
in submitting to your Honorable Body the following proposed
Outdoor Capital Improvement Development and Feasibility Plan
for the Municipal Ice Rink located at Martin Road Park.
The following pages represent the thoughts of the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Board, arrived at much study and debate
over the past two years. We have studied the Municipal Ice
Rink as it relates to the City's overall needs in Parks and
Recreation Development.
The Board has taken into consideration the Comprehensive Study
for Parks and Recreation updated in ?larch, 1978, and publicly
reviewed by your Honorable Body on December 11, 1978. It is
the general consensus of the Board that, although a number of
recommendations made in the Comprehensive Study are desirable,
the Board feels that the development of the Ice Rink into a multi-
purpose year round outdoor recreation facility will serve the
immediate needs and interests of all city residents, from youth
to senior citizen.
This report is presented in four sections. Section One will
deal with a historical overview of the initial and progressive
capital investment and renovation of the Ice Rink. Section Two
will deal with the present and proposed use of the facility.
Section Three will discuss the proposed outdoor capital improve-
ment: the construction of a concrete slab with imbedded piping
and installation of perimeter "dasher" boards. Section Four
will propose alternate funding sources for the proposed outdoor
capital improvement.
CITY OF FERNDALE -2- March 15, 1979
This report is submitted to you for, what is hoped will be,
your immediate consideration. Time is of the essence if
Ferndale is to have the type of Parks and Recreation Facilities
that will be an asset to the Community.
To quote the introduction found in the Comprehensive Study
for Parks and Recreation:
"It is our goal to develop a well-rounded and excellent public
outdoor and indoor recreation program and facilities that will
meet the needs of a rapidly aging population. In the same breath,
we must meet the needs and interests of younger families in the
lower age groups.
Our choice, as a City and Community, then, is not of a status
quo or change, but rather a choice of the type of change. A
Community with good parks and recreation facilities and services -
as well as good schools, business, etc. -can expect to attract new
residents and special groups...who will support such a Community,
as well as enhancing the quality of life of its present pioneer
residents."
We await your comments and stand ready to meet with you to discuss
the Plan.
Respectfully submitted,

MAJOR POINTS OF EMPHASIS
A. INVESTMENT. The Municipal Ice Rink investment for facility and
equipment development -both initially and progressively -amounts
to $99,164. This does not include operating expenditures for
expendable material and supplies, staffing, utilities, etc.
B. PRESENT AND PROPOSED USE. The Ice Rink facility is presently used
three (3) months per year for skating activities. For calendar
1978, 8,283 participants used the Ice Rink. This participation
level amounts to 22% of the total participant level for all City
Parks and Recreation programs conducted in 1978. The proposed
plan is to develop the Ice Rink into a multi- purpose, year round
outdoor recreation facility for age groups.
C. PROPOSED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT/COST. It is proposed that a concrete
slab with imbedded piping be constructed and perimeter dasher (hockey)
boards be installed. The preliminary estimate, to date, to construct
the concrete slab is $105,421 while the cost to install dasher boards
is $36,937. Total estimated cost, to date, is $142,358.
D. FINANCIAL PROPOSALS. The various programs to finance the proposed
capital improvement include the Federal Land and Water Conservation
Fund Grant Program; Federal General Revenue Sharing; City Force Account;
Community Block Grant Program; and City Bond Issue.
Section I. INVESTMENT
A. Initial Investment
In the winter of 1973, the City purchased the present refrigera-
tion equipment (known as an indirect brine system), dasher boards
and plastic tubing from the City of Birmingham. The entire equip-
ment, which was installed at Birmingham's Eton Park in 1956, was
purchased at a cost of $10,000, with transportation and installa-
tion of said equipment amounting to $7,900.
In 1974, the present cinder block building, which houses separate
warming and refrigeration rooms, was constructed at a cost of
$28,000. That year, the facility first opened to the public.
In 1975, the installation of the retainer fence and the outdoor
lighting poles and fixtures amounted to $11,700.
In all, the total initial investment, which was paid from Federal
General Revenue Sharing Funds, amounted to $57,600.
B. Renovation Investment of Existing Refrigeration Equipment.
The following year -by -year renovation expenditures reflect the
City's commitment to update and standardize minor components of
the existing refrigeration equipment.

Section II. PRESENT & PROPOSED USE
A. Presently, the facility is programmed and operated three (3)
months per year (Dec -Feb) for ice skating. Activities include:
general open skating, drop -in hockey, skating rentals and
special events such as Teen Disco Night.
Listed below are the calendar year statistics for participant
use of the Ice Rink and the percentage of said use when compared
to the entire calendar program participant statistics for all
City sponsored Parks & Recreation programs.

Since the Ice Rink is operated with the use of plastic hoses (9
miles in total) located upon an uneven sand base, the ice surface
must be built as high as 8-10", as opposed to the normal 2-4"
on a level concrete base. The refrigeration equipment does not
possess the capacity to quickly build and maintain such a large
surface measuring 185 x 85 ft. The end result has and continues
to be lost ice time (and participation) in early December -when
it requires 2-3 weeks to build ice (as opposed to 2-3 days) -and
in February -when the rink is closed due to temperatures reaching
above 400. (The deterioration of the existing dasher boards,
which are 22 years old, also poses maintenance and safety problems
B. Along with lengthening the skating season 4-6 weeks, the installa-
tion of a concrete slab would provide multiple use during the
Spring, Summer and Fall for such outdoor recreation evening
activities as Youth, Teen and Adult roller skating, Family Concert
Teen Dances and Senior Citizen dances and card parties. The
cost to conduct these activities would be borne by in house,
full time city recreation employees or by fees and charges. The
major operating cost, that of running the refrigeration equipment,
would not of course be experienced.
Section III. PROPOSED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT/COST
Attached is the consultants preliminary cost estimate of
$105,421 to construct a concrete slab with imbedded piping.
Also attached is a quote of $36,937 from D. L. Baumgartner
and Associates, dasher board manufacturer to install new
perimeter dasher boards.
The combined cost estimate, to date, is $142,358.

Section IV. PROPOSED ALTERNATE FUNDING SOURCES
A. Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund Program. As known,
the City has received a grant under this program in the amount
of $100,000 to finance 50% of the proposed Ice Rink Capital
Improvement.
As background, the purpose of the program is to provide funds
for acquisition of land and water areas and development of out-
door public recreation facilities. It is the only major Federal
Categorical grant program available for the financing of public
outdoor recreation. In Michigan, it is administered by the
State Department of Natural Resources. With the completion of
the State Recreation Bond Fund program in the early 1970's, there
is no State grant program for outdoor recreation acquisition
and development.
The competitive nature of the program is evidenced by the fact
that, for Fiscal 78-79 (Federal), 2.1 million was appropriated
by the State to Region I, the Planning Region encompassing the
Five (5) Counties in Southeastern Lower Michigan: Wayne, Oakland,
Macomb, St. Clair and Monroe. Excluding the City of Detroit,
which received two (2) grants totalling $525,000, approximately
$1,575,000 remained for competitive disbursement to remaining citi,
counties and park authorities, i.e., Huron Clinton Metropolitan
Authority. The $100,000 grant awarded to Ferndale amounted to
6.340 of the available funding.
Since 1970, Ferndale has received $177,470 under this program
(excluding the $100,000 Ice Rink Grant). Coupled with $113,403
in local match, the total park improvement program amounts to
$290,873.
It should be noted that, for the future, the Michigan DNR is
developing policy recommendations against State allocation of
Land and Water Funds to construct energy expending outdoor rec-
reation facilities such as lighted ball fields, swimming pools
and artificial ice rinks.
B. Federal General Revenue Sharing. The State and Local Fiscal
Assistance Act of 1972 authorizes the turning back of federal funs
to state and local governments. Local funds may be used for all
ordinary and necessary capital expenditures, as well as general
operating and maintenance expenses. The Land and Water Conserva-
tion Grant program allows the commitment of Revenue Sharing
funds as local match.
C. City Force Labor Account. The Land and Water program also
allows the use of City personnel, equipment and supplies as local
match. The expenditure for salary and wages, equipment rental an
supplies is eligible for 507o cash reimbursement. The cash
-5-
reimbursement can then be utilized by the City to reduce its
actual cash outlay. For example, should the City expend $10,000
in employee salary and wages, equipment rental, etc., it will
receive $5,000 from the State. (It should be noted that inhouse
labor would necessitate a rescheduling in daily park maintenance
activities.)
D. Community Development Block Grant Program. Funds from this pro-
gram, which is administered by the Federal Housing & Urban Dev-
elopment Dept., (HUD) can also be used as local match. For Fiscal
79-80, project funding priorities have already been set by the
City Council, such as housing loans and grants; street curb and
gutter replacement; park development at Wilson Park, etc. Should
excess funds become available, either through contingency reserves,
under expenditure in approved projects, etc., funds could be allo-
cated from this source.
E. City Bond Issues. The City, with voter approval, could issue
a General Obligation Bond as local match. The General Obligation
Bond would pledge the City's full faith and credit to repay the
principal and interest over a period of years, i.e., fifteen years.
F. Analysis of Proposed Cost/Funding Resources. As mentioned, the
preliminary cost to complete the Ice Rink Project is $142,358.
The City's local match amounts to 500 or $71,179. The project
could be completed in one phase in one (1) Fiscal Year or divided
into two (2) development phases spanning two (2) Fiscal Years:
FISCAL YEAR PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT TOTAL COST STATE CITY
79-80 Concrete Slab/Imbedded
Piping $105,421 $52,710 $52,710
*80-81 Dasher Boards 40,630 20,315 20,315
$146,051 $73,025 $73,025
The above two (2) phase improvement schedule would complete the
Ice Rink Project prior to the December 31, 1980 project agreement
deadline. It should be noted that a one (1) year extension to
December 31, 1981 could be granted by the DNR (Fiscal 81-82) if
the major part of the project -the concrete slab -is completed by
December 31, 1980.
It should be noted that the proposed one (1) phase or two (2)
development would, in all likelihood, result in the closing of
the Ice Rink during the 1979-80 skating season, reopening in 1980-
81.
In conclusion, the Board has identified the possible funding
Increase of 1070 over one Fiscal Year from $36,937
EM
sources available. A preliminary cost has been tabulated,
with a one (1) or two (2) phase capital improvement process
proposed.
Because of tax limitations and the constant pressure to maintain
and extend City services out of current income; because of the
Council's position to more adequately evaluate and prioritize
the entire needs of the Community: The Board cannot propose
or recommend specific funding sources. The Board requests,
however, that the Council jointly meet with it during the Fiscal
79-80 City budget review process to discuss the feasibility of
utilizing one or more of the proposed funding sources.
1980 CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT BUDGET
The 1980 Capital Development Budget will be available
for you at the meeting; and a special meeting should be
scheduled, preferably as soon as possible. February 27,
1980, is suggested.
MANAGER'S REPORT
---Attended a meeting of the SEMCOG Regional Clearinghouse Review Committee
pertaining to the Orion Hills acquisition. The Committee voted 4 - 2 to
make this part of SEMCOG's Regional Open Space Plan. If you have any further
questions pertaining to this subject, I would be more than happy to answer
them at the meeting.
---Received a letter from Congressman Blanchard informing us that the Land
and Water Conservation Act was settled at $300 Million, which would result
in a cut in the amount of funding compared to last year, and result in a loss
of $2.3 Million to the State of Michigan. He suggested that in order to achieve
greater funding, we will have to work through organizations and as individuals
to keep pressure on Congress. I would suggest that we pass a resolution
encouraging our congressmen to continue to pursue full funding of the Land and
Water Conservation Act. I will prepare a resolution for your approval at the
meeting, if you are so inclined.
---Request that the Parks and Recreation Commission pass a resolution en-
couraging our congressional delegation to support SJ Resolution 90 naming
June 1-7, 1980, as National Recreation and Parks Week. This has been requested
by NRPA Director John Davis.
---Mr. Kipke will have slides available on the renovation at Glen Oaks.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
An executive session is being called for the purpose
of discussing a land acquisition.
