The research project will be coordinated through DDB-Needham with the study con- ducted by Nordhaus Research, Inc. Cost of the research project is $14,6OO, plus or minus ten percent. 3 - 2 (Commission Meeting, August 7, 1991) Commission discussed the wording of the question regarding the Commission con- sidering a millage proposal for land acquisition and developing additional parks. Staff was directed to reword the question to make it less direct and let the Com- mission review it again before going to the public with it. Question regarding the proposal for a county -wide tax millage shared with local parks and recreation departments will be deleted. Question regarding household income will be reviewed by the surveyors for their opinion on whether or not it should be included in the study. Moved by Mr. Lewis, supported by Mr. R.

For this program, the state will provide one staff person to educate and train our staff and to help develop programs and workshops. The DNR will also help us in the interpretation of the ADA. If this pilot program is successful, the DNR will take it to the local community parks and recreation departments. ADDISON OAKS CONFERENCE CENTER EXTERIOR WALL REPAIRS: Due to the unexpected repair problems on the conference center's exterior walls created by the unusual construction method for the facility, plus water seepage behind the exterior surface in both walls and chimneys, staff requested Commission approval to expand the contract with Grunwell-Cashero to complete these repairs for an amount not to exceed $30,000. Commission directed staff to hire an independent structural engineer to inspect the entire building and contract for the repairs, to-do the building properly and entirely rather than repairing it in a piecemeal fashion. In response, staff requested Commission approval of an additional amount not to exceed $30,000 for the contractor to seal the holes in the exterior walls made in the course of the repairs. Moved by Mr. Law, supported by Mrs. Fox to approve the expenditure to seal the holes made in the exterior walls of the Addison Oaks Conference Center during the course of the contracted repairs to Grunwell-Cashero in an amount not to exceed $30,000.

PAST PARKS COMMISSIONER MARJORIE WALKER: Chairman Wint informed the Commission of the recent death of past Parks Commis- sioner Marjorie Walker. He spoke of her special support of the parks and noted that staff will be planting a tree in her memory at the administration office's memorial garden. MANAGER'S REPORT: In addition to the Manager's Report filed in the agenda, the following was noted: 3 - 4 (Commission Meeting, August 7, 1991) ---Staff is once again negotiating on the placement of a communications tower for the proposed county -wide system; the FCC did not approve the tower to be placed at the Independence Township Maintenance Center, but rather prefers it to be placed at Independence Oaks. ---Manager Richard informed the Commission that Orion Township has approved a list of recommendations made by the Hunting Area Control Committee for hunting in the vicinity of Orion Oaks. These recommendations will be reviewed with any other recommendations from staff for approval by the Commission. OLD BUSINESS: —Construction will begin on the Pebble Creek Drain project at Glen Oaks on September 9. Staff is considering using the course as a 9-hole course during the period of construction. ---Commissioner Vogt inquired about the status of the new computer program and cooperation received from Computer Services.

Archery hunting will be permitted at Orion Oaks from October 1 through December 31, 1991. 2. Parking areas will be provided within the park boundaries at existing service gates on Clarkston Road and at Baldwin Road (approximate parking for 25 vehicles). 3. All vehicles using the park for hunting will be required to purchase an annual vehicle permit. Vehicles parked along any perimeter public roadway will be ticketed (pending proposed no parking sign posting by the Oakland County Road Commission). 4. Park maps indicating the safety zones will be posted in over 30 locations. Park maps will be made available to hunters. 5. The enforcement of hunting regulations will be a concerted effort between the Oakland County Sheriff's Department, the Oakland County Sheriff's Park Deputy Division, the Michigan State Police, and the Michigan DNR through foot patrols, undercover surveillance, and ATC units. 6. In addition, the Michigan DNR, the National Rifle Association, the Michi- gan United Conservation Clubs, and Orion Community Schools will work coop- eratively in providing public education programs regarding hunting. 7. The "Park Watch" program will enable park neighbors to assist Parks staff and enforcement agencies in monitoring the archery hunting program. Staff anticipates spending approximately $3,000 of budgeted funds to provide parking area fencing, develop parking areas, post safety zone signs, and provide park maps. ORION TOWNSHIP, OAKLAND COUNTY, STATE OF MICHIGAN REPORT OF HUNTING AREA CONTROL COMMITTEE The Township of Orion, Oakland County, State of Michigan requested the establishment of a Hunting Area Control Committee (HACC) to review complaints that hunting presents a danger to students and staff at an elementary school and to occupants of homes in the vicinity of Orion Oaks County Park. The HACC, consisting of JoAnn.Van Tassel, Township Supervisor; Lt. Bruce Gustafson, Michigan Department of .Natural Resources; Sgt. Robert D. Swackhamer, Michigan State Police; and Lt. Barry Eriksen, Oakland County Sheriff Department has asked for and received public input; has reviewed the lands of concern within the township; has reviewed police complaint records, has considered various alternate courses of action and has prepared final recommendations for the consideration and action of the Orion Township Board of Trustees. - The HACC in its review of the of Orion Township finds: 1. Thgt the Orion Oaks county park is a large tract of generally undeveloped property (927 acres_) bordered generally on the east by Joslyn Road, on the north by Clarkston Road, on the west by Baldwin Road and on the south by Lessiter Road, Cedar Key Road and Scripps Road. 2. That within the park property (all of which is enclosed by a chain link fence in excellent state of repair) the discharge of firearms is prohibited by Oakland County Parks Commission rule. 3. That most complaints received at the public meetings and in written memorandum express a concern that hunting with firearms present a real and present danger to children attending Webber Elementary School located on 40 acres directly adjacent to the park and immediately east of an undeveloped private 40 acre parcel. 4. That complaints of violation of hunting with firearms within safety zones and discharge of firearms near the school are largely unsubstantiated. 5. That no instances were substantiated documenting violations of hunting with firearms within the park. 6. That park officials lack personnel to patrol the park throughout the year and park enforcement personnel have never received specific training in wildlife law enforcement techniques. 7. That bow hunters, wishing to hunt lawfully within the confines of the park, must seek entrance by climbing under or over the boundary fence. Citizens complain of seeing vehicles parked along the roadways bounding the park. This parking in unconventional locations and the appearance of persons "sneaking" into or out of the park leaves the impression with neighbors that something unlawful may -be occurring. 10o-2 Page 2 of 4 8. That generally along the southern perimeter*of the park areas suitable to bow hunting are lacking and violations of the safety zone regulations are not likely to occur. 9. That a private 40 acre parcel open to all forms of hunting abuts both the park and the school grounds. Evidence of off road vehicular traffic crossing from the parcel to the school playground is evident. Hunting with firearms and bow and arrows is lawful and likely does occur. Rational for Recommendation: The HACC finds the proposal to close the entire area in question to all hunting and the discharge of firearms and bows neither reasonable nor warranted. Hunting with or the discharge of bows and arrows is not likely to kill, injure or disturb persons who can be reasonably be expected to be present nor to destroy or damage buildings or personal property located adjacent to these areas nor will it vitiate the general welfare of the community. However, the HACC finds that development around the perimeter of the park is such that it is reasonable and prudent to formally follow the lead of the"`bakland County Parks Commission and to recommend that hunting with firearms be enjoined within the park, upon the adjacent school property and upon the private 40 acre partial west of the school. If enacted this ban will: Provide law enforcement agencies, not currently authorized to enforce existing park regulations, with the ability to assist park enforcement personnel.to police the area within the park for firearms violations. Allow law enforcement personnel to stop and arrest if necessary those hunters which may be hunting game with firearms on the private parcel west of Webber School The HACC is concerned that law enforcement personnel are not enforcing complaints of safety zone violations and existing hunting regulations in a consistent manner throughout area. The Board of Trustees should host a training session to be conducted by the Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division and offered to all agencies with patrol responsibilities within the township prior to the commencement of the 1991 fall hunting seasons. This session should include a review of existing local hunting area controls, Michigan hunting regulations and wildlife enforcement techniques. The HACC is concerned that hunters pursuing their sport in -a lawful and responsible manner are perceived by some to be breaking the law and that parking along the roadway right of way may create traffic hazards. The HACC is concerned that bow hunters within the Orion Oaks park may approach unnecessary close to the perimeter fence bordering the Webber School property and that these hunters should be warned that a school area is near by. 10-3 Page 4 of 4 3. Place signs a minimum of 200 feet from the Webber School property line alerting all persons walking through the park that they are approaching a school and should be cognizant that school children may be utilizing the wooded area near the school grounds. PROPOSAL TWO: The Orion Township Board of Trustees invite the Department of Natural Resources to conduct a training session for all local., county and county park enForcement officers. Included in this session should be a review of existing local huntir:g area controls, Michigan hunting regulations and wildlife enforcement techniques. This session should occur prior to the 1991 fall hunting -seasons. PROPOSAL THREE: The Orion Township Board of Trustees should formally recommend that the board of education consider erecting a fence along the west boundary of the Webber El ea1pntary School property. PROPOSAL FOUR: The Orion'Township Board of Trustees should formally petition the Oakland County Road Commission to establish no parking zones along the roadways bounding the Orion Oaks Park where parking vehicles on the shoulder may create hazardous traffic conditions.
