We will exceed our original 1982 appropriation of $33,700 for BMX. This facility has grown more than we expected this year. In fact, we will also exceed our 1982 revenue budget for BMX by $5,868. Since 1982 was our first full year for BMX, we encountered some expenses we did not anticipate. We put in a new entrance, had dust control problems and basically underestimated our costs with the increased participation. We have reviewed all the costs for the year and we are projecting that our total costs for BMX for 1982 will be $47,040. This is $14,960 more than our original budget. As stated above, we will also receive $5,868 more revenue than we projected. The net increase in costs for this facility is estimated to be $9,092 for the year. Since we have not received all of the funds for BMX for 1982, we feel it would be cleaner to transfer $15,000 from the operating contingency fund to the BMX Operating Budget. The additional revenues, when received, will be placed in our general fund. In view of the above, staff recommends we transfer $15,000 from the operating contingency fund to BMX. This would then make the amended Operating Budget for BMX to be $48,700. This action will not change our total Operating Budget but will just transfer funds within our total budget. 5a-1 OAKLAND COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION Analysis of Fund Balance As of 9/30/82 FUND BALANCE 1/1/82 Additions: Revenue over Operating Expenses as of 9/30/82 Net Collections on Accounts Receivable DNR Grant - Addison Phase I DNR Grant - Groveland Phase II 0.

Park Supervisor, Ray Delasko,. has solicited proposals from various operations and received one from Raupp Campfitters who have done extensive con- tract work with the Metro Parks. Staff recommends that an agreement be initiated with Raupp Camp - fitters for a ski rental operation at Independence Oaks County Park. Time is important and a decision will have to be made at the meeting. Mr. Delasko and representatives of Raupp Campfitters will be present at the meeting. 0 I October 21, 1982 Oakland County Parks & Recreation Commission C/O Mr. Ray Delasko Park Superintendent Independence Oaks 9501 Sashabaw Road Clarkston, MI 48016 RE: Proposal to operate a cross country ski rental concession at Independence Oaks Park. Attached, you will find Raupps Campfitters' proposal for the establishment and operation of a cross country ski rental concession at Independence Oaks Park located at 9501 Sashabaw Rd., Clarkston, MI 48016. You will notice that this proposal is in contract form. It was infact closely patterned after the contract currently in effect between Raupp Campfitters, Inc. and the Huron -Clinton Metropoliton Authority regarding the operation of the cross country ski rental concessions at Kensington, Stony Creek, and Willow Metroparks. The substance contained herein is, for all practical purposes, identical to this proposed contract. When considering this proposal the following factors should be considered which are not addressed in the proposal: 1) Raupp Campfitters, Inc. has operated the cross country ski rental concessions in the Huron -Clinton Metropolitan Authority park chain for the past 7 years. The relationship has been both amicable, and lucrative for both parties. 2) Raupp Campfitters' experience, gained during the above mentioned 7 year period, in the operation of cross country ski rental concessions is unparralleled in the Midwest. 3) Raupp Campfitters' experience in working with public/governmental organizations has resulted in sensitizing Raupps to the service oriented goals and objectives of governmental organizations such as the Oakland County Parks & Recreation Commission. This under- standing results in a positive and co-operative atmosphere which is necessary for the successful operation of this type of joint venture. 600 Washington Square Plaza -:- Royal Oak, Mich. 48067-:-(313) 399-9545 (Page 2) 4) Raupp Campfitters is the largest renter of cross country ski equipment in the Midwest with over 1,100 sets of rental skis in stock and rented out of 5 retail locations -located in Michigan and the Chicago area -in addition to the rental concessions at the Metroparks. This fact displays the commitment by Raupps to the sport of cross country skiing and it's continued developement as a viable winter activity for participants of all ages. 5) Raupp Campfitters has been in business for almost 30 years and has established an excellent reputation with the public. This longstanding image will establish instant credibility with the public regarding a new operation such as this. The proposal, as it is written, is self explanatory. However, should there be need for further discussion and/or explanation we would be pleased to meet with members of the Oakland County Parks & Recreation Commission or it's representative(s). In closing, it must be stressed that time is of the essence a great deal of preparation by both parties in order to get this magnitude operational and potential skiing weather is away.

Moved by Montante and Fortino that the offer be rejected because of irregular boundary lines, overhead KV tower lines and the multi- tude of public owned property in Groveland Township. Oct. 14, 1977 - Regular Meeting Moved by Montante and Vogt not to purchase property because of environmental intrusions and the existing dominance of public land in Groveland Township. Motion passed unanimously. Nov. 4, 1981 - Regular Meeting Offered by Joyce Johnson of Earl Keim Realty in Ortonville; 191+ acres. Submitted three proposals for partial acquisition but price for total acreage was $515,000.

He will discuss with you the com- mentary that took place at that meeting. A copy of some of the questions and facts pertaining to the taxes is attached , as prepared by Chuck Ross. This is just for your review and will be discussed with you by Mr. Wint. ---A copy of the Waterford Oaks Wave Pool survey conducted by William Haralson & Associates of Dallas, Texas is attached for your review. Some of the information they compiled is quite interesting and I thought it would be of interest to you. We will use this study in helping establish policies for the Wave Pool in the future. Haralson & Associates were retained by an agency that is considering building a Wave Pool. ---Dates for budget reviews should be determined at this meeting so the final budget can be adopted at our first meeting in December. ---Oakland County's Property Management staff has inquired as to whether or not we would be interested in putting our 1.04 acres located in White Lake Township up for sale on a land contract because a cash sale is not in tune with the present market. Staff has no objection to this. Three tax law amendments that affect property taxes: 1. Headlee Amendment 2. Truth in Assessing 3. Truth in Taxation 1. In broad general terms, the Headlee Amendment controls the property taxes from increasing higher than the rate of inflation. This year, the taxes were not increasing that fast and as a result, there was no need for a "tax rollback". The Headlee Amendment permitted Parks and Recreation to collect their full tax rate this year of 1/4 mill (.2500). If there were no other tax amendments, that would be our tax rate. 2. Again in general terms, Truth in Assessing means that all assessing jurisdictions must assess all properties at their true value and that no local assessing unit should gain more tax collections when a higher govern- mental unit proves that the local assessing values were understated. The higher unit of government can collect taxes based upon the actual values; the local unit collects taxes based upon their own assessed values. There is a prescribed formula and a mathematical computation that gives the tax rate under this tax amendment. This year, under the Truth in Assessing formula, the Parks and Recreation tax rate is .2405. 3. Truth in Taxation says that taxing authorities cannot collect any more taxes than was collected the previous year unless a notice of a public hearing is published stating that more taxes will be collected this year. It also states when and where the public hearing is to be held. Parks and Recreation, along with the County, met that requirement. To our knowledge, no comments have been received from the public hearing. In the published notice, the County requested the same tax rate as spread the previous year. Parks and Recreation requested the full 1/4 mill be spread. Parks and Recreation tax rate last year was .2466 We have been advised by Civil Counsel that the Parks and Recreation Commission is a part of,the County of Oakland regarding the spreading and collecting of property taxes and therefore, must adhere to all three tax amendments. 4. In order to get the taxes spread and collected, the Board of Commissioners must pass a resolution. The County has prepared the resolution and requested that the tax rate for the County be at the same tax rate as last year while the tax rate for Parks and Recreation be at .2405 which is less than our rate of last year. 5. Staff feels that since Parks and Recreation has met all of the requirements of the tax amendments and that since there is a need for the additional tax revenue that we also should have the same tax rate of last year. Effect of Tax Revenues Collected 1. Full 1/4 mill (.2500) $3,569,341 2. Last year's tax rate (.2466) 3,520,798 3. Truth in Assessing tax rate (.2405) 3,433,709 (continued) 14-2 (Tax Laws) Since staff now understands the procedures for spreading and collecting taxes, we will prepare a study for you next year and recommend a tax rate for next year. In that way, the Commission can prepare their resolution to the County stating their recommended tax rate. 14-3 :�LHA October 7, 1982 Ms. Jan Pung Public Communications Officer Oakland County Parks & Recreation Commission 2800 Watkins Lake Road Pontiac, Michigan 48054-1697 Dear Jan: Enclosed is a copy of the survey we ran over the two weekends at Waterford Oaks. I think the results are fairly self-explanatory with one exception. As regards questions 16 and 17, the respondents were asked to compare a water park and a wave pool to the attractions shown in the que:;tonnaire. Thy ratings, then, are a water park compared to a motion picture, and so on. Thus, 58.1 percent of the respondents rated Waterford Oaks the best (a one) compared to a motion picture, etc. If you have any questions regarding the results, please do not hesitate to telephone. Once again, our thanks for your cooperation. Sincerely, 0',ci Carl Parker III, Ph.D. Associate CP:dwp Enclosure OAKLAND COUNTY PARKS & RECREATION COMM.

The facility chosen is Waterford Oaks, Pontiac, Oakland County, Michigan, which is not only the public water park closest in location to the proposed facility, but of a similar latitude as well. The survey, conducted with the permission of the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission, was initially scheduled for August 27 and 28, a Friday and Saturday, respectively. However, inclement weather moved into the Pontiac area Friday morning and in WLHA's estimation discouraged attendance considerably. In fact, the weather discouraged attendance on Saturday to the point that Waterford Oaks closed an hour after opening on the 28th, since not a single person had paid an admission. Since this result introduces the possibility of bias into the sample, a second effort was made on Friday and Saturday of the following week (September 3rd and 4th), which was the last weekend of the 1982 season. On the second try, efforts on both days were successful. A total of 73 parties were surveyed on Friday, August 27 and another 113 parties on the following Friday and Saturday (i.e., the 3rd and 4th of September), totaling 186 parties for the two weekends. Where biased results are suspected, the survey data generated on the second weekend is used in preference over the two weekends combined. Unless otherwise indicated then, the percentages that follow refer to the results of the two weekends combined. Also, if multiple responses were allowed, this is so indicated.

The parcel would be advertised at the price of $14,500.00, with a 10 percent down payment and 10 percent interest. We feel that a cash sale is not in tune with the present real estate market. We respectfully request that the commission reconsider the cash sale and allow this division to sell said parcel on a land contract. Please advise my office of your recommendation by November 5, 1982. Sincerely, \A"r'\5eB Mar is E. Berkley, Manager MEB/kj f cc: B. Hardenburg Division of Property Management and Community Development 1200 NORTH TELEGRAPH ROAD, PONTIAC, MICHIGAN 4B053 (313) 858-0493 .L -
