Susan Drew, Resources Recycling Systems, gave a short slide presentation on yard waste recycling.

RSA (Commission Meeting, March 7, 1990) INDEPENDENCE TOWNSHIP SAFETY PATH PROGRAM: Chief of Design and Development Joe Figa noted that Independence Township is requesting the Commission participate in the township's safety path program by helping to pay for the construction of an 8 ft. wide concrete safety path from Clarkston Road north across the front of Independence Oaks to the park's entrance. The township also requested Commission consideration to extend the safety path, sometime in the future, north of the park's entrance across the entire park front along Sashabaw Road. The township receives a 1/4 mill to help pay for the path; however, much of the revenues raised from this millage are used to acquire easements. Staff was in favor of linking the park into the township's safety paths, noting it would connect the park to other important areas in the township, such as the Village of Clarkston, the township library, and the schools. Discussion followed on the width of the path, cost of the path that would extend across the park front north of the entrance, and whether or not it is advantageous for the park to be linked into the township's path program. Staff was directed to meet with the township to let the officials know the Commis- sion is willing to connect the path north to the park's entrance, but will not entertain a request now or in the future to pay for the construction of the path from the entrance north across the park along Sashabaw Road. Commissioner Law also requested the size of the path be reviewed and requested a copy of the written requirements. OAKLAND PARKS FOUNDATION: Executive Director Fran Greenebaum reviewed the Foundation's current and upcomping activities, including the "Protecting the Natural World" conference in April, the Foundation's annual dinner on May 2, and the fundraising benefit, Jesus Christ Superstar, at the Birmingham Theatre on May 18. MANAGER'S REPORT: In addition to the Manager's Report filed in the agenda, the following was noted: ---Assistant Manager Jon Kipke updated the Commission on the activities of the millage awareness campaign committee. ---A short video was shown on the newly -constructed addition to the Addison Oaks Conference Center.

Results received are as follows: Tennant Company $8,936.00 Bensenville, IL Capitol Equipment NO BID Washington, MI FMT Corp. NO BID Fraser, MI Sweepster Jenkins NO BID Detroit This sweeper will be an additional piece of equipment to be used on all the walkways, around the concession building, and in the staging area. We have found the need to mop most of these areas daily because of the food and bird residue. Our existing riding unit is used daily on the carpet areas, but is inefficient around the buildings and hard -to -reach areas. Also, we cannot use our riding unit when there are patrons in the area. Specifications were based on the Tennant 186 Sweeper/Scrubber and the companies were asked to bid on it or the approved equal. Staff recommends awarding hte bid to the sole bidder and single supplier of this machine, the Tennant Company, for $8,936.00. The life expectancy of this machine is 15 years. There is $9,000.00 budgeted in the Operating Equipment Budget for this sweeper. 8-1 1 4 • 00 I ITEM #9 PICNIC TABLES ADDISON. GROVELAND. AND INDEPENDENCE OAKS The addition and replacement of picnic tables in our park operations reflects a need to replace tables that are no longer serviceable, as well as adding tables to meet increasing needs for picnickers. The tables being replaced are in excess of 15 - 20 years, unless they were subjected to vandalism or an accident. Four years ago, park staff identified a picnic table frame with top and seat board specifications that meet our expectations and are functioning very well in our park operations. Requests for quotations were sent to nine vendors for the purchase of 110 picnic tables for Addison, Groveland, and Independence Oaks, with replies as follows: R. J. Thomas $10,738.20 Cherokee, IA Jennings 11,825.00 Lake Orion, MI Iron Mountain Forge 11,605.00 Farmington, MO Engan-Tooley 11,880.00 Okemos, MI Jack Golden 12,650.00 East Detroit Century Industries NO BID Sellersburg, IN Clayton Manufacturing NO BID Louisville, KY Quality Industries NO BID Hillsdale, MO Belson Manufacturing NO BID Aurora, IL Staff and Purchasing recommend awarding this purchase to the low bidder, R.J. Thomas of Cherokee, Iowa, in the sum of $10,738.20. Purchase price of picnic tables has remained relatively constant, ranging between $90 and $110 during the last 15 years. There is $13,000 budgeted in the 1990 Operating Equipment Budget for this purchase. 9-1 ITEM # 10 JOHN DEERE TRACTOR AND ACCESSORIES ADDISON, GROVELAND, AND INDEPENDENCE OAKS Bids were solicited for the replacement of a 1975 Ford tractor at Independence Oaks that is currently 15 years old.

The original purchase price was $9,994.80, and staff expects $6,000 to $7,000 from the sale of this tractor at the spring county auction. The new tractor will perform general maintenance functions, such as road grading and grounds maintenance, plus assist with capital improvement projects. This tractor will also serve as the back-up for beach maintenance and will be used in field area mowing operations. The life expectancy of the new tractor is between 15 and 20 years.

Wells, Recreation Supervisor INTRODUCTION Since the inception of the Mobile Recreation program in 1974, the primary objective has been to provide an outreach prograrn to areas of Oakland County lacking in recreational resources such as staff or facilities. In addition, the mobile units and staff allow our agency to develop and expand a positive public image. Due to the limited financial resources of many municipal parks and recreation departments (especially adversely affected in recent years), non-profit community groups and block clubs, even our modest fee schedule covering basic direct costs only (wages, fuel and depreciation), make our units unavailable to them. BACKGROUND In order to get a total perspective of this request it is important to understand the past history of grant programs for Mobile Recreation. From 1975 through 1980, the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission received federal funds administered through the Community Services Administration at a rate of approximately $20,000 per year, for such purposes. As a result of the budget reduction action of the 1981 federal administration, this program was eliminated. 12-2 In 1981, Mobile Recreation operated without any grant in aid support for the first time. Many groups, especially the low-income from areas such as Pontiac, Ferndale, Hazel Park and others, were unable to use the services of this program. However, in response to numerous letters of support from municipal representatives of these groups, this Commission in late June of 1982, established its own $15,000 grant program entitled the Community Assistance Program. The 1982 program was well received, and in the limited time of its operation, we granted 163 no charge visits at an estimated value in excess of $12,000. Each year since 1982, the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission has approved funds for the Community Assistance Program to send an average of three free units to eligible communities. Other visits are made available to non- profit organizations. 1990 OAKLAND COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMUNITY GRANT REQUEST The request from the Mobile Recreation staff for 1990 is as follows: 1. The grant program will not exceed the amount of $20,000 and should include approximately 300 visits. 2. Unit requests eligible for this grant program will be from June 6 to August 24, 1990. 3. Priority for the distribution of the grant visits will be based upon staff evaluation of the expressed and perceived needs of the municipal parks and recreation organization and socioeconomic factors. Every effort will be made to insure the equitable distribution of these visits. All groups evidencing such need and the inability to pay a reduction or the total price of the units, will be considered. Priority of requests by groups will be: 12-3 a) parks and recreation agencies b) municipalities/government c) non-profit organizations d) private agencies 4. All requests are accepted on a first come, first -serve basis. 5. This grant is on a trial basis only. There is no guarantee that this money will be available in subsequent years. 6. The Sportmobile, Skatemobile, Mimes, Bleachers and Puppetmobile units would be the only units available in this program. Each unit will have a $25 fee to offset the cost of the gasoline, staff etc. 7. This grant program has been established by funds appropriated to the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission and is not a federal or state funded program. 8. Evaluation of the Community Assistance Program will take place at a date to be named. 9. Additional units budgeted under C.A.P. go to the Park Awareness Program. c r r x x x x A T l r The Mobile Recreation Community Assistance Program is an excellent opportunity to provide recreational services for the residents of Oakland County. It is our sincere interest in this program to service as many community groups and populations (seniors, youth, handicapped and families). 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. 12-4 1990 C.A.P.
