The existing #3 green at Springfield is presently a come back hole and
too severe for putting which sometimes slows play by one half hour. Golf Course
and Technical Support personnel will be operating this scraper to move approximately
2,500 yards of sand to rough out the new green.
Staff concurs with Purchasing to award the rental of the scraper for one
week to Michigan Tractor for $2,160. We feel that with the transportation charges
added on to Wolverine's bid, they would exceed the quote from Michigan Tractor.
Funds for this expenditure are allocated in the Capital Improvement Budget.

RESOLUTION
QUALITY OF LIFE BOND PROPOSALS C AND D
The state's quality of life bond proposals, C and D, will be on
the ballot November 8. These $800 million total proposals will improve
Michigan's land and water resources, protect the Great Lakes, expand
recreational opportunities, and support the environment.

Ballot Proposal C and D:
Michigan's Quality of Life Bonding Proposal
This $800 million proposal will improve Michigan's land and water
resources, protect the Great Lakes, expand recreational
opportunities, and support environmentally sound economic
development. The Quality of Life Bond represents an important
investment in Michigan's future --in an amount that is fiscally
responsible. Because of retiring existing bonds, this proposal
will not increase the state budget, or state taxes.
Proposal C includes $425 million -to clean up toxic waste sites,
$150 million to combat mounting solid waste problems, $60 million
to protect our water from sewage, and $25 million to protect the
Great Lakes. $67.5 million of this amount is available for
environmentally -related economic development activities. Proposal
D targets $140 million for rebuilding Michigan's state parks and
other state and local recreation facilities. In short, these
proposals will clean up the mistakes of the past, protect our
resources from future degradation and enhance our ability to enjoy
Michigan's natural resources.
Proposal C: For a Cleaner Michigan
Fighting Toxic Waste: A $425 Million Commitment
Michigan is home to almost 1,800 sites of environmental
contamination and more are being discovered each year. This
legacy of poor management practices presents a danger to the
health of our citizens and resources. The Quality of Life Bond
Proposal earmarks $425 million for cleanup activity at these toxic
pollution sites.
Those sites most hazardous to public health and safety will be
addressed first. Specifically, the bond funds will be used to
investigate the pollution sites, prepare cleanup plans, fund the
cleanups, and provide emergency drinking water or other emergency
actions where needed. These funds will allow us to take emergency
action at an estimated 600 sites and reach final clean up at over
300 sites with participation from private and federal sources.
Solid Waste Disposal: A $150 Million Challenge
Each day, the people of Michigan produce 32,000 tons of solid
waste. Presently, most of this vast amount of solid waste is
disposed of in landfills. But, landfills across Michigan '
have reached or are nearing capacity. Siting of new landfills is
extremely difficult because of the concern about contamination
problems. This proposal will provide at least $150 million for
grants and loans to communities and the private sector to reduce
this solid waste burden. The strategy will include the following
elements:
5-3
2
-Recycling and composting of municipal solid waste.
-Expanding markets for recycled materials.
-Air pollution control equipment and recycling prior to combustion
for waste -to -energy facilities.
-Research and demonstration projects for waste reduction.
-Development of household hazardous waste collection centers.
-Closing environmentally unsound -landfills or dumps and providing
transfer stations for economical shipping of waste to licensed
facilities.
Wastewater Treatment: $60 Million to Treat our Sewage
This $60 million is required if Michigan is to receive $365
million in federal funds to attack sewage treatment problems ($60
million is 80 percent of the total needed state match). These
combined funds will be put into a revolving loan fund that,
through sophisticated financial leveraging devices, will make
available $1.1 billion to Michigan communities to build and
upgrade our sewage treatment plants and address other water
quality problems during the next decade.
Protecting our Great Lakes: Creating a Unique Fund
$25 million will be Michigan's share of a unique, eight -state,
$100 million permanent endowment dedicated to the protection of
the Great Lakes. Each year, the fund's earnings will be available
for the preparation and implementation of Great Lakes cleanup
plans, cleanup demonstration projects, applied research, and
monitoring of the health of the Lakes and the life they support.
One-third of these earnings will be distributed directly back to
each state, while the other two-thirds will be dedicated to
regional problems. For the first time, Michigan will be able to
rely on a permanent commitment of dollars from its neighbors to
protect the Great Lakes.
Economic Development and a Clean Environment: $67.5 million
$67.5 million of the recreation, hazardous waste and solid waste
grants is available for environmentally -related economic
development activities. These funds are dedicated solely to those
economic development activities that have a clear environmental
purpose such as reuse of existing industrial sites to prevent
further loss of undeveloped land and open space, promotion of
industries that provide markets for recycled goods, and clean up
of toxic sites that have economic development potential but which
3o not present an immediate threat to human health or to the
environment.

Proposal D: Building Michigan's Recreational Opportunities
One need only look -at freeways leading to Michigan on a summer
weekend to find:out how important recreation is to the citizens of
our state. A key component of the quality of life that Michigan
has to offer is its many and varied public parks and recreation
facilities. Proposal,D shares $140 million equally between state
and local parks and recreation projects.
State Parks and Recreation Projects:
A $70 Million Rebuilding Program.
Michigan's 83 state parks touch every corner of our state. Yet,
virtually every one of these parks is in need of close attention.
$70 million will be dedicated to restoring these parks. First
priority will be given to those parks having environmental
problems or needing repair of'their electrical systems, roads, or
buildings. Next, the funds will be dedicated to assuring high
quality facilities by undertaking major maintenance projects such
as upgrading existing. roads, buildings, electrical systems, and
other basic facilities which have deteriorated to the point where
major repairs are required to ensure continued operation.
Finally, the funds will be available for the expansion of existing
park facilities -.and the development of proposed new park areas.
If funds remain,, they will be.used to match other monies for
projects involving fish hatcheries, wildlife nurseries, and
recreational boating.
Community Recreation: $70 Million for our Hometowns
All 86 of.our Michigan's largest cities and 89 percent of our
smaller cities and villages have park systems. Over half of these
systems are more than 20 years old --the average life expectancy of
most recreation facilities. A third of all park systems are over
40 years old. Funds under this program would be available to:
-Improve existing public recreational facilities.
-Develop waterfront recreational facilities.
-Construct new community recreation facilities.
-Develop tourism=related recreation projects.
-Create environmental education structures through our
intermediate school districts.
These grants cannot be used for land acquisition, sports
facilities, arenas, commercial theme parks or any casino gambling
facilities.

Our $800 Million Commitment: What Are its Real Costs?
It is clear that the state can repay the proposed bond without new
taxes. The direct costs of an $800 million bond issue are
dependent upon how quickly and at what interest rates the bonds
would be issued. Assuming an initial debt service cost of $20-30
million and a maximum annual debt servicp of $60 million, up to
$51 million each year will be available from reductions in
existing debt service for repayment of the proposed bonds. Our
annual debt service requirements have been reduced by nearly $20
million since 1987. That savings can be immediately dedicated to
the new bonds and these savings will increase to $40 million by
1994 and $51 million by 1999.
By issuance of the bonds, capital expenditures for the sewage
treatment program may be borrowed and repaid over the life of
these projects rather than dedicated out of one fiscal year's
budget. Since the state must spend $75 million to match federal
money, in 1989 the general fund savings would be $10 million.
Thereafter, $20 million each year would be saved, until the $60
million of bond proceeds are used.
In terms of our capacity for debt, Michigan also consistently
ranks among the lowest states in debt burden. Moody's Investor's
Service, Inc. ranked Michigan's Net Tax -Supported Debt Per Capita
36th in the country among the 39 states which issue general
obligation debt.
Once the proposed $800 million bond is issued, these ratios will
change, but not enough to increase either the state's per capita
debt or debt as a percent of personal income above the average
rate for all states. In fact, if all $800 million were issued
today, Michigan would still rank 29th in the country in its per
capita debt and 33rd in its debt as a percentage of personal
income.
The most difficult cost to estimate is the cost of standing still
while the water, solid waste and hazardous waste pollution
problems grow and our parks deteriorate. Every dollar spent today
will save many times that in cleanup 10 years from today.
How will the Ballot Language Actually Read?
Proposal C
Proposal to Authorize Bonds
for Environmental Protection Programs
The proposal would:
1) Authorize the State of Michigan to borrow a sum not to exceed
$660 million to finance environmental protection programs
that would clean up sites of toxic and other environmental
contamination, contribute to a regional Great Lakes
5-7
S
protection fund, address solid waste problems, treat sewage
and other water quality problems, reuse industrial sites and
preserve open space; and
2) authorize the state to issue general obligation bonds
pledging the full faith and credit of the state for payment
of principal and interest on the bonds; and
3) provide for repayment of the bonds from the general fund.
Proposal D
Proposal to Authorize Bonds
for.State and Local Recreation Projects
The proposal would:
1) Authorize the State of Michigan to borrow a sum not to exceed
$140 million dollars to finance state and local public
recreation projects; and
2) authorize the state to issue general obligation bonds
pledging the full faith and credit of the state for payment
of principal and interest on the bonds; and
3) provide for repayment of the bonds from the general fund.

I have reviewed the staff recommendation with reference to the
Lions Club Proposal at Orion Oaks as set forth in the September
21, 1988 Minutes of the Parks and Recreation Commission.
It is my understanding that the Lions Club would raise money,
purchase materials and furnish labor for the building of three
group cabins at Orion Oaks. Some of the labor would be by
unskilled volunteers. Some would be skilled and/or licensed
labor depending upon the task involved. At all times the County
would supervise construction to assure that the plans and
specifications would be followed and that the proper building
materials would be used.
The primary issue is one of liability. The County will be
liable to anyone injured at the construction site in the event
the injury is caused by our negligence or our maintenance of a
hazardous condition. We can require the Lions Club and each of
its subcontractors or volunteers to execute a hold harmless
agreement wherein they would waive all claims for damages or
injuries while working on the job site as a volunteer. As long
as we do not direct their work and do not supply the materials,
this should limit our liability considerably.
The property belongs to us. We cannot prevent individuals from
filing suit against us and, further, cannot eliminate all the
risk. The trade-off for accepting minimized exposure to lia-
bility during the construction phase is the receipt of free
buildings.
Once the buildings are completed, we will own and maintain

them. The total burden of liability will then shift to us. If
they are not constructed properly, we will be liable for
injuries. It is, therefore, very important that we have skilled
County personnel at the site during construction to assure that
the building materials are the quality specified and that the
actual construction is in accordance with the plans and all
building codes.
I do not see a problem with giving the Lions Clubs first prior-
ity for scheduling usage of the cabins and park space so long as
the Club does not become the sole user of these facilities. We
cannot permit a club to build a facility for its exclusive use
on our property. To what extent usage by the Lions Club goes
from being fair (to them) to a monopoly by them is a policy
consideration. This issue may or may not be a problem depending
upon the anticipated usage the Club has in mind.
The signage issue presents no problem.
When you reach a point that it would be appropriate to consider
written agreements, I will be happy to work with your staff and
the Club representatives to draft documents which address
everyone's concerns.
If you have any further questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
gind�ai. Wasielewski
