Dear Commission Members: S Skarritt
As you know, the Commission/Staff Retreat has been set for Thursday, April
22, through Saturday, April 24, 1993.
The Retreat will be held at the Thomas Edison Inn, "under the Blue Water
Bridge," in Port Huron. See attached map for directions.
Since we began holding these retreats, which are conducted for long-range
planning and goal setting, they have proven to be important, productive and
pleasant opportunities for commissioners and staff to interact.
Several topics are scheduled for discussion; a copy of the agenda is
attached for your preview. If you have any questions on any of these subjects,
please contact the person whose name appears beside each topic.
Ralph Richard will coordinate our discussion to help keep us focused and
directed.
The Retreat begins on Thursday with check in at 3 p.m. There will be a
reception at 6 p.m., with dinner at 7 p.m. Our brainstorming session will follow
at 8:30 p.m.
Friday's schedule begins with a 7 a.m. walk/run for those interested in
"taking the morning air." Breakfast will follow at 8 a.m., with the first
session of the day scheduled for 9 a.m. We will continue until lunch at noon,
then follow with afternoon work sessions from 1:30 until the dinner break at 6
p.m.
Saturday morning begins once again with a 7 a.m. walk/run, followed by
breakfast at 8 a.m. and work sessions at 9 a.m. We will wrap up the Retreat
sessions at noon, then close with lunch and check out.
The Thomas Edison Inn provides comfortable, gracious hospitality, and you
will find amenities such as waterfront scenery and walkway, indoor swimming,
exercise facility, and golf and tennis.
Dress will be very casual. I look forward to sharing this experience with
you.
Sincerely,
Pecky D,. Lewis, Jr.
Chairman

IN RE: Commission/Staff Retreat - Items for Preview Richard5karritt
Enclosed are a number of separate items the Commission will want to preview
prior to the Commission/Staff Retreat scheduled for April 22 - 24. First is the
schedule of events, which also includes the agenda of topics to be discussed and
meal functions. The rest of the items are arranged in the order they appear on
the agenda.
1. Brainstorming - Ralph Richard
As you know, over the years a lot of ideas have come and gone before the
Commission. With the possibility of purchasing a farm in the future, putting
together a resource management plan, strengthening our recreation programming
and events, we would like to generate some general discussion of topics on areas
that the staff and Commission should look toward in the future. Example: With
the acquisition of Rose Township, do we hold it for awhile and consider
purchasing another large parcel of land for future park?
Nature Center Future
Role of Lobbyist in the Future
Attached are some informational sheets about trends from the National Parks
and Recreation Association plus the mission statement for the Oakland County
Parks and Recreation Commission for your review. (Attachments 1 and 2)
2. Park Review - Master Plan - Joe Figa
As you know, Orion Oaks has been pretty much in a hold position since the
millage vote, even though we have opened it up to day use. We would like to
review the plan, review where we are, and the activities on the site today, and
look at what might happen in the future. The same would be for Lyon Oaks. Also,
I would like to bring you up to date on the meeting with Rose Township and
proposed use for the facility there.
3. Funding - Frank Trionfi
Enclosed you will find some funding information on the future of our parks
system for the next ten years. This is done without any increase in any of our
millage rates. Frank will explain the State Equalized Value status and what it
means to our department, plus any proposals that possibly get on the ballot and
how they affect the parks system. This issue may be the highlight of the
retreat, as I believe it may provide clear direction for both long-term financial
planning, as well as decisions to be made for the 1994 budget. (Attachment 3)
4. Golf - Mike Thibodeau
A. Golf course fee comparison on local Oakland County courses.
(Attachment 4)
Also to be presented is a study of who uses our courses in regards to
residents/non-residents and where the play takes place for your review. Further
explanation of this will take place that day. (Attachment 5)
B. Addison Oaks new golf course. As discussed in our capital improve-
ment program, the idea of funding a new course in the system will be discussed,
with the first location being Addison Oaks for a number of reasons to be
presented at the retreat. Also ideas on sources of funding will be discussed.
C. Glen Oaks. Over the years, through our capital improvement program,
we also discussed the building addition at Glen Oaks. Tentative plans will be
presented, along with possible ways of funding this endeavor. (Attachment 6)
D. Groveland Oaks golf. Discuss with the possibility of looking at
a lease -out agreement for this facility.
5. Recreation Review - Sue Wells
A general presentation will be made about what we are doing in the area of
recreation and the direction of the recreation section for the future.
(Attachment 7)
6. Future Park System Image - Jan Pung
One of the hardest things that we've had to deal with in Oakland County
Parks is our own identification. Jan's staff, working together with DDB Needham,
has come up with a concept of how to better identify the Oakland County Parks
System. Jan will make a presentation on how this might proceed.
7. State Legislators Meeting - Pecky Lewis, Jr.
This was done back in 1985, where we invited state legislators, along with
county commissioners, to a general overall meeting, letting them know the goals
and future direction for the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission,
asked for their consideration, and offered to help in any way we can. This to
be discussed, a possible date, and when we want to hold such a meeting.
S. Vehicle Fleet - Ralph Richard
As you are aware, the item of the vehicle fleet was tabled. We also have
included in this area the information of Public Act 261 regarding what role the
Parks Commission, Board of Commissioners, and County Executive have in the Parks
and Recreation Commission. We're looking for general discussion and update on
this topic.
9. Energy Study - Frank Trionfi
As time allows, staff will review a program to have a company research our
utility bills to find if we are paying the lowest possible rate. This is a
payback proposal, and we feel we county only benefit from this. Frank will
detail this information. (Attachment 8)
The intent of this retreat is not to overwhelm you with paper, but to have
some good dialogue for the direction of the park system for the next five years.

Study Shows American Public Uses, Supports Public
Park and Recreation Services
A recent nationwide study determining the
benefits of local recreation and park services
perceived by the public revealed several sig-
nificant findings including:
75% of the U.S. population uses public
park and recreation facilities
• 69% ofthe population believes in park and
recreation services to such a degree that
they support funding derived from both
taxes and user fees
❖ More than 75% of the population indi-
cated that they thought their local park
and recreation services were worth more
than the national average expenditure on
parks ($45 per person per year)
❖ 71% of the population has a park or play-
ground within walking distance
•:® 60% of the population said their commu-
nity as a whole received a great deal of
benefit from local park areas
30% had participated in a recreation
activity organized by their local govern-
ment recreation and parks department
71% of park non -users said they received
a benefit from having park and recreation
services in their area
®® Park users were generally more healthy
than non -users.
The study, The Benefits of Local Recreation
and Park Services: A Nationwide Study of
the Perceptions of The American Public, was
conducted for the National Recreation and
Park Association (NRPA) by Dr. Geoffrey
Godbey and Dr. Alan Graefe of The Pennsyl-
vania State University and funded by the
National Recreation Foundation.
"The findings are very important," said R.
Dean Tice, National Recreation and Park
Association Executive Director, "The public
actively participates in our programs, be-
lieves in the value of the service they are
receiving, and is willing to support tax dollars
and user fees to continue receiving such
service.
"In addition, it is clear that park users are
healthier than non -park users, indicating
that public recreation can contribute to reduc-
ing our nation's ever increasing health bill,"
continued Tice. "Furthermore, when 71% of
non -users say they received benefits from
park and recreation areas, it is clear that there
is a deep-seated belief that parks and recre-
ation is a necessary and fundamental part of
any community."
Other findings include:
One out of five Americans reported taking
up a new recreation activity during the
last year.
The likelihood of taking up a new leisure
activity was statistically related to age,
residence type, marital status, education
level, income level, race, and political
affiliation.
The study consisted of a telephone inter-
view of a nationally representative sample of
1,300 individuals age 15 or older. All inter-
views were completed between January and
February, 1992.
In addition, a follow-up questionnaire was
sent to each respondent to examine the
individual's state of health, wellness and life
satisfaction and the relationship to use of
local park and recreation services.

Oakland County Parks Commissioners
Oakland County Parks and Recreation
2800 Watkins Lake Road
Waterford, MI. 48054
Dear Commission Members:
Glen Oaks has been a historical landmark in Famington Hills for many years
and has served the community with distinct elegance. However, at times it is
necessary to evaluate existing properties so as to maintain their charm.
It is with great anticipation and excitement that we at Oak Management are
once again addressing the further enhancement of one of Oakland County's premier
facilities. As in the past, Oak Management is prepared to assist in the ongoing
effort to meet the expectations of the Parks Commission and the community that
we serve.
The proposal as set forth would not only augment the existing structure
with needed redecoration, but also allow for the expansion of the banquet
facilities to properly meet the demand of the area. As with prior projects
(Addison Oaks Conference Center) the need for expanded facilities must be met
with care to preserve the delicate balance of elegance and marketability.
We are sure that you share the same enthusiasm that we do in knowing that
this project will bring to the Oakland County Parks system a facility that all
of the community can truly be proud of.
Sincerely,
George Lekas
Vice President

Per direction from Parks staff, the Purchasing department requested
proposals to establish a comprehensive utility control program for
the Parks and Recreation Division. Specifically, this program will
analyze and audit current utility bills for possible refunds and
to obtain the lowest rates and terms on all electricity, gas,
water, sewage, oil (petroleum products) and telecommunications
(voice and data) to assist the Parks and Recreation staff in their
continuing effort to reduce utility costs.
Purchasing received the following bids:
FIRM
William Agbourche & Co.
Oak Park, MI
National Utility Service, Inc.
Park Ridge, NJ
FEES
*audit of utility bills @
$55.00/hour
*technical study @
$85.00/hour (approx. 200
hours) for $17,000
*65% of all refunds and
credits obtained
*one time service fee of $12,000
for the duration of five years
for all work (audits, etc)
performed.
*50% of all refunds and credits
obtained for a period not to
exceed 5 years.
Staff recommends the contract be awarded to the low bidder,
National Utility Service. This company currently is servicing
27,000 clients, including over one-half of the Fortune 500
companies. Their data base consists of approximately 98% of all
available utility rates, riders, tariffs and special amendments
available within the United states. They monitor in excess of 3.5
million invoices covering 750,000 locations. The National Utility
Service representative in the Michigan area has agreed to allow the
Parks and Recreation Commission to recapture its $12,000 service
fee before collecting its 50% performance fee. In addition, the
Commission will be able to recapture any capital outlay costs prior
to the collection of any performance fee.
Staff will be available to discuss this matter in more detail at
the meeting.
