Baungart of Foley Lake Enterprises offering 130.91 acres in Springfield and White Lake Townships for sale. The property is located west of Andersonville Road between Crosby Lake and White Lake Roads. The property appears to consist of a shallow grassy lake on the north side, and a deeper, clean, gravel quarry lake on the south portion with a high and unusual man-made island in the center. The topography varies from flat on the north to relatively high areas on the south. The vegetation is quite typical of this portion of Oakland County. The site, because of the quarry lake and change in elevations, is quite interesting. It is, however, only a small area and approximately 1/2 mile from the new 2000 acre Indiansprings Huron Clinton Metropark, and only a few more from our Springfield Oaks County Park. Because the site is small, typical of this part of the County, and its close proximity to other major recreation areas, staff does not recommend acquisition.

Box 7020 • Compton, California 90224 • Phone: (213) 537-2531 June 15, 1982 Mr. Lewis E. Wint, Chairman Oakland County Parks Commission 2800 Watkins Lake Road Pontiac, MI 48054 Dear Mr. Wint: We have just today caught up with a story in the May 6 edition of the Royal Oak Tribune concerning your commission's debate over whether or not to buy a Kubota Tractor. From an admittedly biased standpoint, may we offer the following comments: As your assistant parks director, Jon Kipke, has pointed out, there are no wholly American -made tractors under 30 PTO horsepower in this country. It's true - Ford's tractors under 3.0 H.P. are all made in Japan by a small manufacturer and Ford's name and paint added. The same is true of other U.S. tractor manufacturers. The Tribune story reports that Commissioner Richard V. Vogt has directed the staff to "search the country for a small, American - made tractor." In the interest of saving you both time and money, let us assure you that there is no such animal. So far as Kubota is concerned, there is no such thing as "cheap, sweat -shop labor." On the contrary, Kubota's workers are well paid by Japanese standards, take a genuine personal interest in their work and are looked upon more as colleagues than as assembly - line robots. Kubota, Ltd. is a 93-year-old manufacturing firm with an outstanding reputation throughout the world. Japanese workers have an enviable record for high productivity and low absenteeism. Kubota Tractor Corporation is a 10-year-old American distribution firm, staffed largely by American executives, which distributes Kubota tractors and parts to some 900 dealers throughout the country. The tractors' many implements are almost all American - made to Kubota specifications. And the Kubota tractor itself has a well -deserved reputation, both within the industry and with its many customers, for high quality and rugged dependability. 9-2 Kubota fills the tractor gap Mr. Lewis E. Wint June 15, 1982 Page 2 We heard from a Texas dealer just this past week who has a four- year -old Kubota in a rental situation with 5,000 hours on it and it's still operating. Ask any dealer and he will tell you that 5,000 hours for a rental tractor is close to being incredible. But it surprises nobody at Kubota. To sum up: There is no wholly American -made tractor under 30 PTO horsepower. Kubota is the No. 1 manufacturer of tractors in Japan by a wide margin, and No. 1 in the world for under 30 H.P. tractors. When you buy Kubota, you are buying quality and dependability. And when you buy Kubota, you are helping to support many, many Americans all over the country who make their living selling, servicing and equipping Kubota tracotrs. Scores of thousands of satisfied Kubota owners can tell you, Kubota means quality and value. Sincerely, L. W. Templeton Vice President Sales LWT:mfc 9-3 THE WATERFORD OAKS COURT COMPLEX The Waterford Oaks Court Complex is off to a great start. As of June 16, 1982, the complex has accommodated three times as many people as the year before during the same period. I feel this will continue throughout the month of July. Our tennis leagues are up substantially from last year. Then, we had three leagues throughout the summer: two men's leagues (1-6 person & 1-8 person), one women's league (8 people.) There were a total of 22 people participating, bringing in $440. This year, so far, we have seven leagues. These leagues include three ments leagues (1-8 person, 1-6 person, 1-10 person,) two women's leagues (1-8 person, 1-6 person,) and two Michelob Lite Leagues (36 participants.) This gives us a total of 74 people participating in the first league session, bringing in approximately $1,000. Also, we are going to have the second league session start toward the end of July. Four leagues will continue from first session, and we are hoping to start two more new day leagues with a total of 30 people playing in them. These will bring in approximately $600. Our tennis tournaments are also up substantially from last year. Through the month of June we had three tournaments with about 80 players participating, bringing in approximately $800. This year, for the month of July, we have four tournaments scheduled. We are expecting about 150 participants with estimated income of about $1500. Last year, in the month of July, we ran three tourna- ments with approximately 100 people participating, bringing in about $1000. I feel what we must work on is play during the day. What we have planned as organized play are such things as "Ladies Day" and "Open Tennis." With these programs, they can sign up week -to -week for two hours of play per program. Our horseshoe program is doing about the same as it did last year. We have one league, one day a week. Last year, the league had 12 members; this year, it has 24 members. Therefore, we are bringing in approximately $18 per week. This year, we are having horseshoe tournaments to try to generate more business. We had a tournament on June 13, 1982 with 16 participants bringing in $48. With these tournaments, we are organizing a list in hope that these people will use our facility to practice and/or get into a league. Shuffleboard is not getting much use. It is used when we have .senior citizen outings. Last year we had the same problem. I feel, once we have the shuffleboard resurfaced, we will be able to organize leagues. So until then, we will contact senior citizen groups and sell the facilities for outings. Platform tennis is also doing about the same as it did last year. It is not a summer game; it is a winter game. We have about eight hours per week of walk-in play. This year, we will generate approximately $10,000. This is $5000 more than last year. I feel with the organization and the staff that we have this year, we will have no problem achieving our goal of $10,000.

Groud work has been laid by John McInnis and Nora Arquette, program leaders, and Candy Garbacz, parks helper, along with assistance and instruction from Kathleen Dougherty and Dan Stencil. ADAPTIVE RECREATION: This unit is brand new this year. It is offered on a year round basis and houses all adaptive equipment to provide active sports, passive games, arts and crafts, and fine arts projects. It is available to mentally anhysically handicapped individuals of all ages, and degrees of disabilitie Each program is designed and discussed before the unit goes to a site making each program different. NEW GAMES EQUIPMENT RENTAL: Rental is going slowly. We have had several individuals inquire about the Tug -of -War Rope, Earthball, Parachute, and volleyball equipment, but we have only received $25.00 so far. Promotion of this program is progressing. PUPPET KITS: Each puppet unit is selling there own different puppet kit for $1.00 to any one who is interested at the different sites they go to. Approximately $20.00 have been received so far. The program is progressing as the summer goes on. WAVE POOL SUMMER PROGRAM: As of July 1, 1982, Mobile Recreation will be doing the same type of summer program at the Wave Pool that we offer at Groveland Oaks. Flyers for this program are still at printing. Promotion is being done at the Wave Pool over the P.A. system. 9-5 TRAILER MAINTENANCE AND RE -SIDING: Things are progressing slowly. The puppet mobile is finished on the outside and it looks TERRIFIC::: Please stop by in back of Technical Support and see the NEW IMAGE OF MOBILE RECREATION:: Our staff this year is really shaping up. We have a range of people from just graduating from high school to those who are now beginning to seek further education,and those of us who are seeking any type of work experience. For all of us involved, our experience with Oakland County Parks and Recreation is rewarding. If I can be of further assistance, please let me know. jey J. oo�� Janice J.

We're hoping to make Michigan #1 in monies collected for the Leukemia Society. We are giving free Wave Pool passes to registered riders, good for the day of the race only, in an effort to draw more riders to the track. American Bicycle Association Great Lakes National -July 3i & August 1. Last year at this event we had a good turn out of 980 riders. This year we believe we will have over a thousand riders. Michigan Bicycle MotoCross Association(MBMXA) State Race -August 29. Riders from all over Michigan will compete in this non -sanctioned event to determine the #1 riders in Michigan. Todd Kingbury Memorial -September 19. Mr. Bob Kingsbury (Todd's father) is holding this race at Waterford Oaks to collect money for the "Race for Life". Mr. Kingsbury and Todd initiated the program along with the American Bicycle Association to benefit the Leukemia Society. In 1981, the national "Race for Life" combined effort collected $200,000 for the Leukemia Society, its largest single donation. Todd died last September of the Leukemia that he was helping so hard to fight. This year we have hired a maintenance supervisor, Kelly Burnette, at the BMX track. As a result many improvements are being done. Work has just been completed on the new road. It will take the traffic away from the Wave Pool and run along side the water slide, where there is no pedestrian traffic. Trees have been planted by the apartment complex fence to create the natural sound barrier. Six inches of clay were added to the surface of the track to eliminate low spots, rough areas, large ruts, etc. Flower beds have been planted and a few more yards of sod are to be ordered for the bare spots. Our track is still considered the most beautiful in the States. Nancy Z. Phillips BMX Coordinator 9-7
