ITEM #8
PROPOSED MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS CONSULTANTS
The Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission solicited
proposals from some 60 Oakland County communications firms for
marketing/communications program and services.
About 26 firms attended a briefing meeting presented by parks
staff. At this meeting an overview of the park system and its
communications needs was presented.
Nine firms presented proposals and six were selected for
interviews. Those selected for interviews were:
Dennis R. Green & Associates, Southfield
Leo Brennan Advertising, Troy
Baker, Abbs, Cunningham & Klepinger, Birmingham
Anderson Associates, Royal Oak
Sarris & Associates, Bloomfield Hills
Salogar & Associates
Following the interviews and presentations, the parks staff
narrowed the proposals to two companies and visited the offices
of Baker, Abbs, Cunningham & Klepinger; and Dennis R. Green &
Associates.
Staff recommends that the parks commission approve a one-year
contract with Baker, Abbs, Cunningham and Klepinger as marketing
communications consultants for the Oakland County Parks.
The agreed upon fee for the remainder of 1986 (May -Dec.) would
be $2100.00 per month for a total of $16,800.00.
At the end of 1986, the contract would be subject to review
for renewal by the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission.

ITEM #10
OAKLAND COUNTY
INTER -DEPARTMENTAL MEMO
Date, Apri1 1, 1986
ern: Portia Y. Fields -Anderson, Recreation Supervisor
To: Ralph Richard, Manager
Subject:- Program Proposals: Moonwalk/Community Assistance Program
I would _like to recommend Ahat -Oakl -and County -Parks & Recreation -Commission;
purchase a Moonwalk to'add the Mobile Recreation Fleet for program enhancement
in the current program, special events, parks, and community use. This would
also be visible program growth.
Statement of Need
The Moonwalk, though currently available elsewhere, is not readily available
in Oakland County. We would be the forerunners of this novel leisure activity.
Making this accessible for our community would enhance more Public Relations
and marketing of our service to the Oakland County taxpayers.
The Moonwalk (Moon Mobile) would probably have most of its use in our parks
since it requires a certain amount of space and its use is primarily for large
gatherings. The average attendance for these type functions is any where from
300 to 1000-persons.
Fee Structure
I would recommend a fee structure that would encompass use in our parks, out-
side of our parks but within the County, and use outside of the County. The
normal rental for the Moonwalk is $175 per use. We, of course, would be
competitive when renting to the non-resident. The printed fee structure would
communicate to the taxpaying public that they, because of their recreation tax
are able to receive another service from Oakland County Parks & Recreation
Commission.
the lQ_go on the Moonwalk would be another neon -sign flashing our message to
all that see it. Other moonwalks do not usually bear logograms.
Program Implementation
The Moonwalk would be handled much like our Sport and Skate Mobile, that is,
using staff to put up and supervise.
Request that we get for our Sport and Skate Mobile ..cannot be accommodated
because of their popularity. Two more popular units will enable us to
accommodate the Community with a larger variety of Mobile Recreation oppor-
tunities.
Transportation & Staffing of Units
Moonwalk could be transported in a crew cab; by attaching VIA reese hitch to
a crew cab. Staffing and scheduling would be approximately the same as the
Sport Mobile visit or the delivering and set-up of a stage. Two or three staff
persons per visit averaging four hours each at an average pay of $5.00 per hour.
10 - 1
Ralph Richard
April 1, 1986

Pavback Protection
If we averaged $160 per rental we would realize 50% of the fee in profit. It
would take about 70 visits to pay for the Moonwalk. With approximately 122
days available for rental in the summer we could probably service over 70
request in one summer, assuredly, the second summer.
Placement of LOQoaram
The most prominent place for the best visibility (outside wall of apparatus)
when unit is in the set-up stage would be the choice for logo placement. Also,
the units in "take down" phase could be considered advertisement of Oakland
County Parks & Recreation Commission as it travels to and from each destination.
Summary Statement
The addition of Moonwalk to the Mobile Recreation Fleet of services would
enhance the quantity and variety of the program and serve as another
means of stimulating awareness to the Oakland County Community about our
services to them and for them.

Program Proposal
Community Assistance Program
Renewal for 1986
Introduction
Since 1975, Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission has conducted an
assistance program for Oakland County Communities. Several Cities have
benefited from this program by being able to augment their programming efforts
with mobile recreation units. The first few years of this program, 1975 to
1985, were funded by a grant from the United States Labor Community Service
Appropriation Grant and varied from $15,000 to $20,000. Recreation Services
were based on a communities need and were very well received. When this
funding ceased in 1981, the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission
decided to continue the assistance with an appropriation of $15,000 which
continued until 1984; in 1985 these funds were reduced to $12,500. Over 200
units/visits were appropriated to over 26 communities and several service
organizations. In 1985, with the reduced allocation, we were still able to
service these same communities with approximately 150 visits. Over 25,000
Oakland County residents utilized these visits, both youth and adults.
This program has brought positive responses from residents and coverage from
the news media and television. These visits are also utilized to distribute
promotional brochures about other Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission
programs and activities. The easily identifiable units, the distribution of
literature, the media coverage and word of mouth provide continuous exposure
and promotion for the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission.
Recommendation
The Mobile Recreation Staff recommends the continuance of the Community
Assistance Program. Guidelines would be the same as they have proven successful
for the ten year existance of the progyam. The amount of the appropriation
would be the same as 1985; $12,500.
Program Description
The Sport Mobile, Skate Mobile, and Puppet Mobile would be granted full waiver
of fees while buses or stages would be granted a reduction of fees.
Allocations of units would be offered to communities, special recreation
organizations and Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission sponsored
programs and special events.
The CAP program would operate June, July, and August. Any allocated units not
utilized would be available on a first come, first served basis.
Summary
The Mobile Recreation Community Assistance Program is an excellent opportunity
to provide recreational services for the residents of Oakland County. It is
our goal to service as many community groups and populations (senior, youth,
handicapped and family groups) as possible. Through this high visibility
program and our dedicated staff effort, we expect to further enhance the image
and public exposure of the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission.

The four year -old chargers we presently own do not have the capacity to shut
off automatically. With an automatic shut-off, it is estimated that the electric
usage will be cut 1/3. However, the most important feature of the automatic
shut-off is it eliminates the overcharging of the batteries, which can be an
expensive mechanical problem.
In the original Operating Equipment Budget, staff had requested 32 converter
switches. However, with the cost of each switch being $100, plus the labor to
install them into our existing chargers, we feel the purchase of 32 new chargers
would be the best decision.
Staff recommends awarding the bid to the low bidder, Michigan Golf Car, for
$4,800, which includes the trade-in of our 32 chargers.
There is $3,200 budgeted in the Operating Equipment Budget for the converter
switches. The balance of $1,600 will come from the surplus on the purchase of
the golf cars.

TENNIS BALLS
WATERFORD OAKS TENNIS COMPLEX
Staff has received the following bids for the purchase of 126 dozen
Penn brand extra duty first line quality tennis balls and 60 dozen Penn
brand practice tennis balls:
K-Mart Corp. $1,346.16 Plus Shipping
Troy
Penn Athletic Products 1,388.64 F.O.B. Destination
Monroeville, PA
Wilson 1,403.64 F.O.B. Destination
Nashville, TN
Spalding NO BID
Chicago, IL
These balls will be used for the leagues and tournaments for the
1986 season.
Staff recommends awarding the bid to Penn Athletic Products in
the amount of $1,388.64, which includes shipping. The bid from K-Mart
Corporation does not include shipping and did not meet specifications
because they bid a different brand of the first line quality ball.
Funds for this purchase will come from the Recreation Supplies
account for the Waterford Oaks Tennis Complex. The expense of the balls
is budgeted in the fees of each tennis program.
WATER SOFTENER
WHITE LAKE OAKS
Staff has received the following bids for the purchase of a commer-
cial water softener for White Lake Oaks Clubhouse:
Culligan
$4,800
Pontiac
Lakeland
3,500
Drayton Plains
Superior
2,980
Drayton Plains
Spencer
5,158
Pontiac
The existing softeners are 20 years old and no longer working
properly. We received one price ($1,500) for having our existing sof-
teners rebuilt. However, the metal tanks would probably not withstand
the cleaners used to clean the insides, and holes would come through
in a short period of time.
We have also asked the suppliers for a quote on leasing the softener
and the lowest fee was $75 per month plus salt. Staff feels it would
be more economical to purchase the softener outright.
Staff recommends awarding the bid to the second low bidder, Lake-
land, for $3,500 installed. The low bidder, Superior, did not meet
the specifications in that they bid a 257,000 grain unit rather than
the 300,000 grant unit requested.
The cost of this softener is included in the capital project of
upgrading the kitchen at White Lake Oaks.
PICNIC TABLES
Groveland, Independence, Red Oaks
Bids have been received for the purchase of 105 picnic tables; thirty for
Red Oaks, fifty for Groveland Oaks and 25 for Independence Oaks. These are our
stained wood picnic tables with galvanized steel frames. These tables are
replacement tables for Groveland and Independence and new tables for the Red
Oaks Wave Pool picnic area.
The following are the bid tabulations submitted to us from Purchasing:
Fulton Seating, Archibald, Ohio $ 9,975.00
(Frame only, top & seat boards not included)
Clayton Company, Louisville, KY 10,368.75
Michigan Recreation Equipment, Grinnell, IA 10,972.50
Jack Golden, East Detroit, MI 11,130.00
Jennings, Lake Orion, MI 12,810.00
Belson Mfg., North Aurora, IL 14,070.00
American Playground, Anderson, IN 17,304.00
General Seating Co., San Bernadino, CA NO BID
Dan Sorensen & Assoc., Grand Rapids, MI NO BID
Columbia Cascade, Portland, OR NO BID
Seavey Corp., Holland, MI Late Bid
Form Products, Wausau, WI NO BID
Staff concurs with Purchasing to award the bid to the low bidder, Clayton
Company, of Louisville, KY, in the amount of $10,368.75. There is $14,000
budgeted in the Operating Equipment budget for this purchase.

ITEM #29
MANAGER'S REPORT
---Red Oaks Update: Due to the delays and changes this past spring,
we will be unable to open the Red Oaks Wave Pool until after July 15.
These reasons, and also the problem of staffing 90 people people for
45 days, make it impractical to open the pool this year.
We also have a specific problem with lifeguards, needing 90 for the
total system; and as of this date, we have had only 54 apply. Staff
feels that the decision to wait until next year to open the pool is
in the best interests of the total parks system.
---Attached is a Capital Improvement Program list reflecting the status
of all the projects, the completion list to date, and also a list of
projects to be completed.
---Attached is an updated golf survey for this season, with rates and
fees of surrounding 18- and 9-hole courses.
---Also attached are the over 60 "Buck -A -Day" Programs ideas submitted
by staff. Staff committee is reviewing to choose the best idea for
the system and will award the winning employee a dinner at Truffle's.
---A letter is attached on our grant status of the additional acreage
for Groveland Oaks. It is now in the hands of the legislators to be
passed on to the governor for his signature.
---Attached is a report from Ray Delasko on the cross country skiing
at Independence Oaks. This has been our best year ever. Hats off to
staff and to the facility getting the skiers there.
---The date for the employees recognition banquet has been set for Monday,
May 12, at White Lake Oaks. More information will be given to you as
details are set.
---Attached for your information is a copy of the resolution adopted
by the Commission at its meeting of March 5, recognizing Lillian Moffitt's
support and commitment to the Commission.

BUCK -A -DAY SUGGESTIONS
Suggested By
A 1. Install large plastic strips over the two "warm" bay doors at the
maintenance building. This would prevent rapid heat loss when the
bay doors are opened, and save on our gas utility expense.
2. Install storm windows over the two office windows and the one break -
room window to prevent heat loss. Also install storm windows at the
maintenance mechanic's workshop.
3. Install a lockable wall thermostat central control for all our electric
heaters at the boat rental. This would be preset at 68 degrees or
colder, depending on the outside temperature. At the present time,
the controls are not accessible, making it difficult to regulate.
4. Install a more efficient heating system in our maintenance building
to reduce our condensation problem and install new ceiling insulation.
5. Develop a ski patrol from our existing safety division force. They
could patrol our trails during the week when we do not have any volun-
teer patrollers. They could divide their patrol time between vehicle
patrol and ski patrol. This would make their job more challenging
and the skiing public would greatly benefit by having someone on the
trails checking for hazards and any skiing accidents.
B 1. Re-evaluate contract with Farmington Hills for cross-country skiing
to guarantee covering our costs.
2. Get Oaks Corporation to assist in an energy -saving program, i.e., turn-
ing off all unnecessary lights at night, dial down thermostat, etc.
This has been tried at local level, but the success rate is poor.
3. Using UPS delivery on parts delivered from supplies that are quite
a distance away, especially for small quantities. This is a benefit
when balanced against the cost of paying an employee travel time,
plus cost of operating the vehicle.
C 1. Set thermostat back to 55 degrees in unoccupied buildings.
2. All parks vehicles taken home after work hours should be the responsi-
bility of the user to supply with gas. Then with that, allow a 50%
reimbursement for gas paid by the user.
3. Discontinue laundry service, and allow a 50% reimbursement to employees
for washing their own uniforms.
4. On small tool budgets, purchase those from larger chains, such as ACO
or K-Mart.

Buck -A -Day Suggestions

C 5. This idea, I think, comes under the heading of "Make A Buck" -- and
that is to develop some of the Parks' area for softball fields for
league play, primarily because of the high demand of teams trying to
get into leagues, but can't because of shortage of available fields,
making a backlog of teams. Example: Waterford Parks and Recreation,
Pontiac Parks and Recreation, etc.
NOTE: On the teams I have played for, I have had many friends willing
to drive 20 - 30 miles just to play ball.
D 1. Keep trucks at work site currently being taken home by supervisors
and workers.
2. Eliminate one business trip per year.
3. Insulate buildings with no insulation.
E 1. Save all flyers from past events, last year's blanket orders, save
all 82 x 11 sheets of paper that were used on one side. Cut them in
half and staple them into pads and have all employees use them as
scratch paper.
F 1. The mobile recreation staff will begin running schedules on front and
back of the 82 x 14 paper now used. This practice will realize a
savings of .17 per mailings twice each month. It currently costs .39
each to mail. Two-sided copies will keep us below an ounce, thereby
increasing cost. I realize this does not save a "buck a day", but
every penny helps; they all add up.
G 1. Update all of our mailing lists. This will reduce or eliminate the
number of items being returned to us for incorrect addresses, reduce
the number of duplicates, and reduce the number of phone calls from
people calling to be dropped from our lists.
2. Consider mailing news releases out once a week. Several are sent out
each week. If possible, plan in advance and mail them together once
a week. It would reduce our postage and save also on the number of
our letterhead envelopes.
3. Have all of our mail, which is addressed to our employees, go through
our "mail boxes" rather than the U.S. mail. This would include the
Acorn, Oak Notes, and personnel forms.
H 1. Instead of personally delivering brochures twice yearly to some 150+
locations throughout the county, mail them at library rate. (Up to
four pounds of brochures can be mailed for less the $1.) The only
internal cost is the staff person who bundles, wraps, and addresses
the packages.
Savings: Mileage and manpower. In the past, it has taken one staff
person 12-2 solid weeks out of the office to do the entire distribution,
in addition to counting and bundling.*
*This will be implemented in spring, 1986.

H 2. Produce only eight or nine OAKnotes issues each year instead of 12
issues.
Savings include approximately $50 postage, $50 printing and approximately
5-6 days' labor per issue.*
*This was implemented in October, 1985.
3. Invest in a "set -back" thermostat for the office (cost is about $100)
and program to lower temperature at night and on weekends when no one
is in the office.
Savings in energy costs can be determined by a contractor.
4. One method of reducing the number of copies made: Have each secretary/
typist keep a file of what she's done during the month. At the end
of the month, secretary copies all correspondence, etc., and sends
around with a check -off list. If someone on list wants a copy of some-
thing, it can be made at that time. This eliminates copying staff
who only need to read over a document as opposed to keeping it in a
file. This wouldn't include "action" items, such as memos, etc., of
course.
Savings could best be determined by the secretaries who currently make
copies.
P.S. In addition to looking at ideas that would save a dollar a day,
I think consideration ought to be given also to ideas that save a lump
sum over the year, such as the ones above.
I 1. Turn heaters and air conditioners down in buildings at night and on
weekends when buildings are not in use.
2. Put automatic photo cells on exterior lights that are not already so
equipped. This would provide a more efficient and energy saving use
of type lights.
3. Order all regular scheduled servicing parts to cover one season. This
would insure a better unit price and reduce down time and travel time
costs.
4. Make all report type forms and other extensively used forms into self -
carbon type forms. This could possibly help reduce the use of the
copying machine for the duplication of these forms.
5. Eliminate every other light in areas or buildings where this would
be possible without jeopardizing safety or security.
6. Install skylights in comfort stations to reduce the need for lights
to be on 24 hours a day. Then hook up interior lights to exterior
lights that would be on photo cells.

I We feel we must continue to work on standardizing our building structures
and the types of equipment used in these structures to help reduce
costs for so many different types of supplies needed to maintain these
structures. Examples: light bulbs, sloan valves, shower parts, paints,
faucets, etc.
We feel we must continue to provide the high quality of services we
now provide that are not provided by other departments. Although
this may not be seen as a buck -a -day savings, this will surely continue
to increase revenues through satisfied park users and millage renewals.
We feel if we do not continue to provide these additional services
that are not provided by other departments, it will have an adverse
effect on the revenues and future of our park system.
J 1. Limit all (or most) incoming and outgoing telephone calls to five (5)
minutes. Most ideas can be communicated in one minute or less.
2. Use part-time help instead of full-time on holidays and overtime
situations.
3. On all flyers which are asking for registration, state for incoming
mail, "tennis registration", "ski registration", etc.
4. Establish a different address for incoming bills, such as "2850" or
"P. 0. Box" for Administrative Office.
K 1. Use of telephone answering machines with updated messages at all club-
house, park and maintenance locations.
2. Analysis of clerical operations and office equipment needs for the
new administrative office building.
3. Energy audits of all operations and facilities.
L 1. A central paint booth (prep machines at each maintenance bldg.)
2. Use UPS more.
3. Buy bulk grease instead of tubes of grease.
M 1. Use volunteers for bringing out golf carts in the morning. Do not
put out rangers until noon. Use one starter and one cashier until
noon.
2. Put sky lights in maintenance building and cart barn. Keep lights
off during the day.
N 1. Only run half of furnaces at clubhouse during winter months.
2. Buy tree mover and planter. Move trees to where they will do better
and come into play more. Also, when trees are donated to the parks,
we will have a way to move them.

N 3. Rent clubhouse and golf course out to private concern for cross-country
skiing.
4. Pick up our own golf balls for resale. (We would clean and grade.)
0 1. Central garbage pick up. Do away with maintenance building container
and use clubhouse's.
P 1. Develop a printed 3" x 5" card with a location map on one side and
a listing of general offerings and telephone numbers on the other side;
similar to below.

Concept is for all supervisors to carry these cards when they attend
meetings, conference, etc. Through personal contacts at these gather-
ings, in a suave and sales -like manner, give the contact one of these
cards for his or her information about what we are. He or she may
keep it for reference or pass it on to an associate. It is hoped that
it will generate future use of one or more of our services.
The principle is not to "save" a buck today, but rather to "promote
and sell a bit today" and "make a buck tomorrow".
As my promotional philosophy goes..."A bit of time today
A buck just may
Tomorrow come my way."
2. To earn additional revenues:
As some state parks do (Seven Lakes State Park near Holly, for example),
at the times of the year or day when a staff person is not manning
29 - 10
Buck -A -Day Suggestions Page 6

P the control gate, develop an honor system for obtaining annual vehicle
pass sale revenues as follows:
1. Construct a locking mail type drop box at contact stations
at Independence, Groveland, and Addison Oaks.
2. Print deposit envelopes explaining need for a permit to use
parks, suggesting purchase of an annual permit, with space
for visitor's name, address, telephone.
3. Envelope would explain that remittance ($15 or $25) can be
placed inside and deposited in drop box when exiting park.
Permit will be mailed to party for his future use in our parks.
4. When park supervisor is making rounds in the parking areas
within his park, envelope can be placed on wiper of vehicles
not displaying an annual permit.
This practice could generate significant additional entrance fee revenues
and has never been utilized in our parks. The DNR has been doing this
for some time, and their annual park permit is only ten dollars.
Having been a supervisor in our "parks" for ten years, I have never
heard this issue addressed -- better late than never!
I know that it would not be a burden to staff in the winter weekday
afternoons when skiers are using the park or in the spring prior to
Memorial Day and after Labor Day when the entrance station is not
staffed. The frequency of this practice would be once or twice daily,
generally in the afternoon -early evening when vehicle count in the
parking areas is at its highest.
I understand that the answer to this suggestion is a manner of fee
administration philosophy. Does this idea fit? It has to cost far
less than staffing the entrance stations in off-season slower periods
of use if the main reason for doing so is to collect entrance fees.
Q 1. Counsel employees on wasted time from being late and leaving early
from work.

7. Keep the building warmer in the summertime, so that the heat pump runs
less.
S 1. Eliminate the weekly or monthly charge for laundering uniforms. Instead
offer an annual or once every two years' allowance for the purchase
of uniforms and have employees launder their own at their own expense.
2. Donation box for cash donations.
T 1. Ask for a more detailed explanation of the purchase of capital equipment
and create a policy to purchase equipment that will have a certain
lifetime; i.e., at least 3 - 5 years.
2. Schedule supervisory meeting every other month except when needed.
3. Consider solar water heaters.
4. Turn garbage into power instead of paying to have it hauled away.
5. Investigate a more environmentally -sound method of dust control and
perhaps more cost effective.

Dear Mr. Richard:
RE: MLTF #1048, Simpson Lake/Tread Creek
As you know, the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund recommended to. the
Legislature in February 1986, that the project referred to above, be acquired
for public recreation purposes.
Senate Bill 716, the bill to approve the Board's list and actually appropriate
the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund for expenditure, was introduced on
March 11, 1986. We are not sure when the hearings will be scheduled for this
bill. In any event, the bill must be approved by both the House and the Senate,
and then signed by the Governor.
We are unable to predict when funding will be available. Demands created by
the many important issues facing the Legislature will determine when considera-
tion of Senate Bill 716 can occur. Although I'm the only person working on
this program, I will attempt to keep you up-to-date on the bill's progress as
quickly as I can.
Thank you for your patience and consideration.
Sincerely,
n
