Date March 26 1990
From: Ralph Richard Manager
To: Parks Commissioners and Executive Staff
Subject: 1988 Retreat Review and Accomplishments
At the April 22 and 23, 1988 retreat, the Commission and staff discussed
the following subjects, with direction for action:
Parks Philosophy: Noted that the Parks' philosophy has been to fill a void
in what the local recreation departments are not providing, such as waterparks,
large day use facilities, and golf.
Discussion revolved around formulating a mission statement for the Commission.
At that time the following statement was agreed upon:
The Parks Commission is providing those kinds of activities which will
gather together people from different communities rather than providing
a facility that will be used by a community; providing facilities of
a magnitude that the local recreation departments cannot provide.
Commission also discussed the possibility of using private funds in our parks
system.
1990 position: Over the past two years, the Commission, working with staff,
has developed the philosophy and proposed use of Orion Oaks Park, which fits in
with the mission statement of not duplicating what the local municipal agencies
provide.
The Commission and staff have worked hard to develop the new Red Oaks Sports
Village family fun center, which will be opening this year, to provide recreation
opportunities for the residents of Oakland County. Private developer's commitment:
$1.8 million.
Master Plans and Philosophies: A review of all the master plans was given.
Emphasis by the Commission to begin addressing each one independently, starting
with any of the plans that are over ten years old.
Staff presented the Addison Oaks proposed master plan revisions and has set
up a schedule for the rest of 1990 to discuss the master plan for Groveland Oaks.
The Commission also requested meetings twice a month to provide more time
to discuss these master plans. Staff has followed through on this direction and
will continue to do so in the future.
Potential of Purchasing More County Land: Commission reviewed criteria for
land purchase in connection with recommendations from the recreation master plan.
Commissioners and Staff

March 26, 1990
Grant applications were submitted in 1989 for additional acreage at Addison
and in the southwest corner of the county. At this time both grants have been
recommended by the Michigan Land Trust, and staff is working with Corporation
Counsel to purchase the mentioned property.
Another area the Commission strongly concurred with was acquiring recreational
facilities and preserving green space, realizing it can't be developed at this
time, but to use for preserving green areas against the future for the residents
of Oakland County.
The criteria for purchasing land was as follows:
1. Land availability
2. No plans for use by other agencies
3. Early purchase -- value for our money
4. Add on to existing parks
5. Dense population areas
6. Use vs. acquire more land; development should be equal to
acquisitions
Five -Year Expenditures and Revenues: A five-year expenditure and revenue
picture was given to the Commission to provide an idea of future funding. This
will be updated at the 1990 retreat.
Fees and Charges: The philosophy of fees and charges was reviewed. The
goal of the Commission is to structure fees and charges to be competitive with
other activities in our industry, and also continue to promote stability to the
Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission. Over the past two years, with
Commissioners and staff working together, we have accomplished this goal.
Annual Golf Course Greens Fees Program: The Annual Greens Fees Program was
discussed and recommended not to continue. The program ended in 1989, with no
repercussions.
Millage: Commissioners discussed the proposed millage for 1990. Recommended
working towards a ten-year renewal, instead of five-year, and to meet with the
County Commissioners to get this on the August, 1990 ballot.
As you are aware, this has been done. Staff and Commission are working now
on the plans for successful passage of this millage.
Marketing Update: Staff reviewed the elements of marketing our operation,
which included advertising, research, public information, customer relations and
customer service.
Commission concurred to increase the marketing budget in the future, which
has been done in the past two years' budgets.

These mowers will replace 17-year old Jacobsen F10 tractors that will be
moved down to mowing roughs.
We presently have one of these Ransome mowers at Glen Oaks that we purchased
last year for $28,000.00.
This Ransome mower has proven to be well -suited for our needs; and had the
mowers from Theiser Equipment, Wilkie Turf and W. F. Miller come in lower than
the Ransome from Ideal, we would still have recommended the Ransome.
Staff recommends you award the bid for these two Ransome mowers to the low
bidder, Ideal Mower Sales, for $56,000.00.
There is $56,000 budgeted for these two mowers in the Operating Equipment
Budget.
The rough mowers that are being replaced will be sold in the County auction.
brings you he benefits of fast,
efficient t ing, simplicity of
operation and a real saving in
running costs.
High Performance
Powerful diesel engine and a
cutting width of 3.5m (1 lft 6in)
adds up to high work rate
potential for the maintenance of
large grass areas. There's a choice
of fixed head, big diameter Magna
cutting units for long grass and
floating head Sportcutter cutting
units for fine turf, especially on
undulating ground.
All Hydraulic Power
The Motor 350D is all -hydraulic,

Reverse reel drive allows
backlapping to keep a keen edge
on the cutters and to clear
blockages.
Simplicity of
Operation
All controls are within
easy reach of
the comfortable
driving seat.
the ultimate in responsive
andling.
Versatility
Rear -wheel steering is light and
positive and gives superb
manoeuvrability. Individual lift to
the wing units allows the cutting
width to be reduced by a touch of a
lever. Full road lighting and
indicators are fitted as standard
with an all-weather cab available
as an option. The Motor 350D sets
a new standard in grasscutting—
and reduces your
costs.
• Simplicit. )peration with all
controls in Casy reach of the

lifted or lowered into work by th
touch of a lever.
• Reverse drive allows easy
backlapping and the clearing of
blockages.

These utility vehicles will replace two 8-year old Cushman truck-
sters that are in poor condition.
This 5-wheel high flotation unit was demonstrated at Glen Oaks
for one week last fall and performed well in the wet areas. We feel
this John Deere will be better -suited than the more expensive Cushman
trucksters for these wet areas.
The old Cushmans will be sold in the County auction.
Staff recommends you award the bid for these two vehicles to the
low bidder, Rochester Lawn Equipment, for $7,620.00.
There is $8,000.00 budgeted in the Operating Equipment Budget for

CHEMICAL STORAGE BUILDINGS
GOLF COURSES
We have received from Purchasing the following bids for the purchase of four
chemical storage buildings for the golf courses:
Safety Storage Inc. $42,348.52
Campbell, CA
Petro Chem Equipment 42,348.52
Troy
Schurr Industries
Tampa, FL
NO BID
Our present storage facilities are outdated and, in most cases, in violation
of existing rules.
These buidings will be placed on a concrete slab in a fenced area at each
golf course.
In researching this situation, we found there are three options for obtaining
these structures:
1) Construct them ourselves
2) Purchase prefab concrete
3) Purchase a steel structure
We feel the steel structure would suit our needs and the pesticide storage
regulations best, because it is 100% complete upon delivery, it is well accepted
under EPA guidelines, and is easily movable in case of site redesign.
We received a quote of $8,527.00 for a precast concrete structure. However,
this did not include electric, air make-up, or shelving, and the structure requires
a crane to move.
We also feel to build a permanent structure of block with footings could
possibly cause future problems; and with all the detail required for this type
of structure, it would be close to the cost of the steel building.
Staff recommends you award the bid to Petro Chem for purchase and delivery
of the four buildings, in the amount of $42,348.52.
Chemical Storage Buildings

Petro Chem is the local agent for Safety Storage. From our research, Safety
Storage is the sole manufacturer of this type of structure.
There is $40,000.00 budgeted in the Capital Improvement Budget for these
buildings; the balance of $2,348.52 will come from contingency.
