These sprayers are a "limited -use" item and consequently there are
few distributors. These units should not be confused with agricultural type
sprayers. "Ag-sprayers" are usually much larger and utilized on different
\urf conditions, mainly farms.
The attached literature shows the Smithco to meet or exceed the speci-
fications for the Meyers. Therefore, I recommend accepting the lower priced__.
Smithco from Lawn Equipment.

The W. F. Miller Company can offer a Tee Mower in the Jacobsen
Turf King 84; the cost would be about $7S00.00. The Jacobsen is not equal
to the Toro in that all the drives and reels are operated mechanically rather
tl'-an hydraulically as with the Toro. Mechanical power transmission allows a
isiderable loss of power by the friction of moving parts (belts, chains &
gears). Hydraulics do not have this loss of power. Besides the power loss,
mechanical drives have many moving parts. This equates to a high level of
maintenance and repairs to be performed as well as parts to be purchased.
The Lawn Equipment Company has a mower that meets and exceeds the
specifications of the Toro which is the Ransomes. The Ransomes is manufac-
tured in England at a cost of $26,900.00; more than twice the cost of the
Toro.
Weingartz Supply does not have a Tee Mower and consequently de-
clined to bid.
I therefore recommend the purchase of the Toro unit from Wilkie
Turf at a cost of $11,018.
P.S. Wilkie Turf has a multiple purchase discount whereby if we purchase
a second piece of equipment from them within approximately 30 days, we can
realize an additional S% discount. A third unit allows an additional 7% off
the bid price.

BACKGROUND - WHY VOLUNTEERS?
The Oakland County Parks and Recreation wasfounded in 1966.
It consisted of one park covering 140 acres. Today, the Oakland
County Parks and Recreation consists of nine parks covering 3,627
acres.
By fall of 1980, the parks had served one million people,
indicating that Oakland County residents are seeking recreation in
areas close to home.
Park staff could therefore benefit greatly from the efforts of
volunteers, who would assist them in reaching and serving the grow-
ing numbers of people using the parks.
Volunteers can effectively aid park staff in such activities as
the nature program, arts and crafts, public information, etc., which
could result in the expansion and improvement of these programs.
One good way to expand a program is to simply take the activity
elsewhere. A volunteer could take park slide presentations to
nursing homes, garden clubs, etc. Entertainment for these and
other groups could be provided by the Oaklowns.
Volunteers.can extend services to other volunteer organizations
by training them in their own activities. For example, volunteers
with extensive knowledge in camp craft or outdoor survival could
relate this information to groups such as the Eagle Scouts. Voltua-
teers with experience in theatre arts or music could conduct workshops
for drama and glee clubs.
The Oakland County Parks can accommodate a vast number of
people engaging in recreational activity, and the chances of these
activities running smraothly and efficiently can be greatly enhanced
by volunteers.
OIA
Volunteers are also a source of new ideas. As members of the
community, they know of its wants and needs, and can offer sug-
gestions as to how they can be met. They could serve as a useful
connection between the parks system and the general public,
promoting active communication between the two.
Special groups such as senior citizens and handicapped persons
can assist in numerous ways. Senior citizen volunteers with their
work experience and contacts, for example, could possibly arrange
for lectures or demonstrations in a field in which others may be
interested. Handicapped volunteers also have skills that should
not b,.! underestiivated.
Volunteer jobs can go far beyond those that have been mentioned
so far. We can draw more ideas from the activities of other
volunteers throughout the country. They are serving as friendly
visitors to homes and hospitals, as carpenters and repairmen,
secretaries, bookkeepers, fund raisers, instructors, and in many
other roles.
New York has a very unique volunteer program entitled "Operation
Green Thumb", in which vacant lots are leased to residents for one
dollar a year. The lots are developed into gardens, which provide
low-cost food to people who need it. The gardens also serve to
beautify the neighborhood, and the project is maintained and enjoyed
by people of all ages.
Recreation systems are limited only by their own creativity in
the accomplishments they can achieve. Effective volunteers can
benefit the parks in two ways: they can accomplish as well as
provide creativity.
Volunteer programs at Oakland County Parks and Recreation
3
Commission are:
The Nordic Ski Patrol - founded in 1978, these volunteers look after
the safety of cross-country skiers at Independence Oaks. They are
trained in first -aid and are members .of the National Ski Patrol
System, Inc. The patrol received positive feedback during its
years of operation, and hopes to continue.in growth and service to
cross-country skiers and the public.
Oakland County Oaklowns (Clown Alley) - this very new program
began in January 1980, is a group of volunteer clowns. Their
purpose is to improve and expand on their clowning skills, and use
the::i in Farades and benefit performances throughout Oaklzr.d County.
The Oaklowns have recently become affiliated with the Red Cross, and
will soon be entertaining patients in hospitals. This group also
aims for growth, in both numbers and in people they reach.
The Bicycle Moto -Cross (BMX) Race Track Aides - this program got off
to a good start in 1980, with some 30 volunteers pitching in to
ensure good quality racing. Children and adults helped conduct the
race and BMX program. A training manual and tighter organization
are being added to the program this year. As the program improves,
growth in the volunteer group is expected.
VHAT WOULD MORE VOLUNTEERS DO FOR THE PARKS SYSTEM?
Additional volunteers would serve as:
1. Assistant Parks Naturalists
2. Naturalists Aides
3. Program Specialists
4. Beautification Squad Assistants (can be a group project)
4
Additional volunteers would serve as: (cont.)
5. Arts and Crafts Assistants
6. Writer's Assistants
7. Art Assistants
8. Exhibit/Brochure Distribution Coordinators
9. Special Events Photographer's Assistants
10. Speakers Bureau Assistants
11. Slide Librarians
12. Playground Supervisors
13. Golf Tournament Aides
14.. Boating Safety Instructors
As the program grows and changes, some new positions may be added,
others deleted.
VOLUNTEER QUALIFICATIONS
Will vary with each position. Details can be found on each job
description, but general qualifications are:
1. An interest in nature and the outdoors.
2. A liking for people, and desire to communicate effectively with
them.
3. To meet age requirements for each position.
4. To have own transportation.
GROUP VOLUNTEER PROJECTS
Merit badges or certificates may be earned by the Boy Scouts,
Girl Scouts, Eagle Scouts, etc., by completing a group volunteer
project in the Parks.
5
The Beautification Squad/Assistant job description best describes
what types of projects are available, which are, briefly, planting
trees and flowers, replacing signs, and other ecological projects.
Group leaders should contact the supervisor of the park where
the project will be undertaken for further information. Group
leaders must accompany their group on the project if members are
under the age of 18.
STAFF RESPONSIBILITIES - WORKING WITH VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers are not intended to replace paid staff in their
pDs.'tions. They cre intended to enhance the parks system by ossist-
ing paid staff. Job descriptions for volunteers have therefore
been written keeping in mind the duties of paid staff.
The staff will have access to the detailed job descriptions
which indicate exactly what the volunteers in each position will do.
These job descriptions have been developed with input from park
personnel, and will be revised as the need arises.
Time sheets that the volunteer will fill out for his or her
supervisor will be provided. They will indicate time -in, time-out,
project name, and total hours worked. These time sheets will also
be found at the back of the volunteer handbook, for personal record
keeping.
When managing volunteers, park supervisors should keep in mind
that volunteers are not to be favored to the point of putting them
on a pedestal. Nor should they be looked down upon, or their skills
underestimated. An ideal volunteer position is a learning experience,
so supervisors should feel free' -to give praise for a job well done
as well as advice on how to improve it. Advice on.the effective

MANAGER'S REPORT
---Review of the Commission By -Laws will be conducted at the first
meeting in March at the request of Chairman Wint, who will not be
present at this meeting.
---Commissioner Montante requested status of the tenth member. The
bill has been signed by the governor as of January 5, and is scheduled
to become law either April 1982, or April, 1983. I will have a
definite answer by meeting time.
---Commissioner Montante also asked status of the Kammer Land Trust
Fund. I have been informed by Senator Kammer's office that there
are modifications being made that will strengthen the act, but
nothing is definite at this time. I hope to have more information
at meeting time.
---Received a letter from the Oakland County GOP expressing their
appreciation for the arrangements made at Glen Oaks for Vice -President
Bush's reception.
---Received a letter from J. David VanderVeen, Manager of Aviation,
expressing appreciation of the Commission for making our buses
available for Super Bowl XVI.

terminated their Bingo at Springfield Oaks YAC effective January 28
and have moved to Holly Junior High School, which the school board
has consented to give them at no charge.
---Tony Franco has requested to be at the next regular meeting of the
Commission to give an overview of the Franco services in the past, as
well as to determine what the Commission might expect in the future.
