THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT: 1 Section 1. Section 1 of Act No. 261 of the Public Acts of 1965, being 2 section 46.351 of the Compiled Laws of 1970, is amended and section la is 3 added to read as follows: 4 Sec. 1. The COUNTY board of COMMISSIONERS of any- A county, 5 by resolution adopted by a 2/3 vote of all its members, may create a county 6 parks and recreation commission, which shall be under the general control .v 7 of the board. The commission shall consist of 10 members including the 0 - �v '-7— 8 chairman- CHAIRPERSON of the county road commission, the county drain 2 1 commissioner, the chairman-- CHAIRPERSON of the county planning commission, 2 and 7 members appointed by the COUNTY board of sapervisors- COMMISSIONERS, 3 at least 1 and not more than 3 of whom shall be members of the COUNTY board OF 4 COMMISSIONERS. Of the members first appointed, 2 shall be appointed for a 5 term ending 1 year from the following January 1, 2 for a term ending 2 6 years from the following January 1, and 3 for a term ending 3 years from the 7 following January 1. Thereafter, each appointed member shall be appointed 8 for a term of 3 years and until his OR HER successor is appointed and 9 qualified. Each term shall expire at noon on January 1. A vacancy shall 10 be filled by the COUNTY board of supervisors COMMISSIONERS for the unexpired 11 term. The commission shall be deemed an agency of the county. The COUNTY 12 board of supervisors- COMMISSIONERS may make such rules and regulations in 13 respect to the commission as it deems advisable. The members of the com- 14 mission shall not be full-time officers, and the COUNTY board of stipervisor5- 15 COMMISSIONERS shall fix the compensation of the members. 16 SEC. IA. AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE PROCEDURE DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1, THE 17 COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF A COUNTY OF OVER 400,000 POPULATION, BY 18 RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY A MAJORITY VOTE OF ALL ITS MEMBERS, MAY OPERATE COUNTY 19 PARKS DIRECTLY THROUGH THE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OR BY A COMMITTEE 20 OF THE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS, AND THE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS 21 OR THE COMMITTEE OF THE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS SHALL HAVE ALL OF THE 22 POWERS AND DUTIES OF A COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION UNDER THIS ACT. 6983 '80 GENESEE COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION RESOLUTION WHEREAS, Public Act 261 permitting County Boards of Commissioners to create- County Parks and Recreation Commissions was approved by the Michigan Legislature in 1965, and WHEREAS, to date thirty-six County Boards of Commissioners, including the Genesee County Board of Commissioners, have voluntarily established County Parks and Recreation Commissions as permitted under Act 261, and WHEREAS, the overwhelming success of Public Act 261,as presently constituted, which has served as a model for the rest of the nation, is widely recognized and well documented, and WHEREAS, amending Act 261 as proposed in House Bill 6004 would be detrimental to County Parks and Recreation programs for the following reasons: 1. In counties where private donations have made up a substantial part of the monies expended for County Parks and Recreation purposes (in Genesee County this total is more than $12000,000, or 30 percent of all Park Commission revenues received to date - its major source of funds), donations to County Parks and Recreation Commissions would promptly dry up as individuals or organizations who are able to give substantial private .donations simply will not give them to a partisan political body. Also, such individuals or organizations would not be likely to make contributions to a Parks and Recreation Commission if the Commission could be abolished at any given moment by a vote of the County Board, which is continuously changing in the makeup of its membership. 2. An important strength of Public Act 261, as presently constituted, is that it does require citizen representation, Board of Commissioners' representation, representation of the Drain Commissioner, Chairman of the County Planning Commission, and Chairman of the County Road Commission on the Parks and Recreation Commission. This makeup provides for continuity, communication, and coordination between the various governmental agencies which is needed most in the operation of a County Parks and Recreation System. 3. Putting complete control of the Parks and Recreation System under the County Board would tend to politicize the park system on a partisan basis and could make professional administration of the Parks and Recreation operation extremely difficult. 4. If House Bill No. 6004 was approved, the terms of all Commission members, i.e., the Board of Commissioners, would end simultaneously every two years unless they chose to run and were re-elected. This would not provide any continuity on the Park Commission. Presently, all Commissioners (except ex officio) are appointed for staggered three-year terms and thus continuity is assured. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Genesee County Parks and Recreation Commission OAKLAND COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION RESOLUTION WHEREAS, Public Act 261 permitting County Boards of Commissioners to create County Parks and Recreation Commissions was approved by the Michigan Legislature in 1965, and WHEREAS, to date thirty-six County Boards of Commissioners, including the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, have voluntarily established County Parks and Recreation Commissions as permitted under Act 261, and WHEREAS, the overwhelming success of Public Act 261, as presently con- stituted, which has served as a model for the rest of the nation, is widely recognized and well documented, and WHEREAS, amending Act 261 as proposed in House Bill 6004 would be detri- mental to County Parks and Recreation programs for the following reasons: 1. An important strength of Public Act 261, as presently constituted, is that it does require citizen representa- tion, Board of Commissioners' representation, representation of the Drain Commissioner, and Chairman of the County Road Commission on the Parks and Recreation Commission. This makeup provides for continuity, communication, and coordination between the various governmental agencies which is needed most in the operation of a County Parks and Recreation System. 2. Putting complete control of the Parks and Recreation System under the County Board would tend to politicize the park system on a partisan basis and could make professional administration of the Parks and Recreation operation extremely difficult. 3. If House Bill No. 6004 was approved, the terms of all Commission members, ie., the Board of Commissioners, would end simultaneously every two years unless they chose to run and were re-elected. This would not provide any continuity on the Park Commission. Presently, all Commissioners (except ex officio) are appointed for staggered three-year terms and thus continuity is assured. 4. If the County Board of Commissioners, or a committee thereof, were to put Parks and Recreation functions under its supervision, it would be an additional burden on the Parks and Recreation Department, as well as the Commissioners, because of the demands of an operating agency. The Commission would not be able to give the time or attention that is required of such an agency as compared to what Act 261 allows the present Commission structure. 5. In counties where private donations have made up a substantial part of the monies expended for County Parks and Recreation purposes, donations to County Parks and Recreation Commissions would promptly dry up as individuals or organizations who are able to give substantial private donations simply will not give them to a partisan political body. Also, such individuals or organizations would not be likely to make contributions to a Parks and Recreation Commission if the Commission could be abolished at any given moment by a vote of the County Board, which is continuously changing in the makeup of its membership. .S t+ { B], L N o . 6t 0- 0,,--4 September 4, 1980, Introduced by Peps.

Bids are due on Tuesday, October 15. Staff hopes to be able to review them on Tuesday and present recommendations at the October 15 meeting. The projects are as follows: 1. Addison Oaks - Perimeter Fencin This project consists of some 5,500 linear feet of 6' chain line fence to be installed on portions of the north and west perimeter. 2. Glen Oaks This work consists of supplying labor, material, services and equipment required to repair the built-up roof at the Glen Oaks Clubhouse facilities in accordance with plans and specs. 3. Springfield YAC - Gas Conversion This work consists of converting the water tower boiler, YAC heating and domestic water heater from oil and liquid propane gas to natural gas. This includes: .. underground gas service of some 250 ft. of piping. . gas piping within the building and watertower. .. complete cleaning and adjustment of the YAC boiler unit. . modification of YAC domestic water heater. . replacement of present oil burner at water tower with new gas burner unit. .. Removal of existing liquid propane gas system and capping of existing oil lines. 4. Waterford Wave Pool - Solar Heating System The basic scope of this project consists of the complete installation of a solar pool and shower heating system to provide a minimum of 40% of the heating needs. (continued) (Capital Projects, continued) An alternate to this project is the provision for a heat cap pool cover for the water surface of the pool. It appears by the inquiries that we have already received that the companies available to perform this type of installation are few and far between and vary considerably in the project they produce. Therefore, the bids are expected to indicate a wide variation. MANAGER'S REPORT ---Met with the 4-H Fair Board to review the 1980 4-H Fair and to accept any recommendations for improvements they had for 1981. ---Joe Figa and I went with Jim Scott, our representative for the Waterford Oaks Water Slide, to visit Oglebay Park in Wheeling, West Virginia, to talk to their people about the slide in reference to its engineering and its success. We also plan to visit the slide that is at Ontario Place in Toronto. ---Jan Pung has recommended that those commissioners who do not have pictures taken by a professional photographer should consider doing so. They would be used for our various public relations releases. ---Sent a letter to Dick Rudlaff, President of the North Oakland Chamber of Commerce, pertaining to the questionnaire they sent to people running for public office; copy enclosed. ---Sent letter to Ernie Fisher, Manager of Madison Heights, updating him on the Red Oaks Recreational Facility.
