Commission requested staff to address rules for the golf courses, also; a general paragraph noting a separate book is available was suggested. Commission also directed staff to make the proposed changes clearer to follow and re -present for adoption at a future date. DETROIT CURLING CLUB PROPOSAL: Detroit Curling Club Board Member Jack Allingham gave a brief history of the game and club. The club requested Commission consideration of a joint venture to allow the club to build and maintain a 4-sheet curling club at Waterford Oaks. The club would not be available to the general public during the winter curling season, which would be mostly weekend and evenings; however, the facility would be available all other times. Commission expressed concerns regarding providing a recreational facility for a limited use group, whether or not there would be interest in this sport from other groups around the county, responsibilities between the two parties, the possibility of combining a regular ice rink with this facility, and what programs staff would provide. Commission concurred to authorize staff to work out a detailed proposal with the Detroit Curling Club, addressing their concerns, and to bring back a proposal for Commission consideration. Staff was also directed to contact the curling facilities in Midland and Superior to see how those facilities are run. ORION OAKS SEWER PROPOSAL: Staff reviewed a recent proposal from the Charter Township of Orion on the sanitary sewer system through Orion Oaks County Park and how it relates to the park's master plan. This proposal is being made in response to proposed plans for a new school east of the park and future development to the west and north of the park; it proposes to share the cost of the sanitary sewer system between the Township of Orion, the Lake Orion School District, a developer, and the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission —if the Commission will agree to do the work now. Estimated construction cost for this work in 1989 was $310,000; today's estimated cost would be almost double. If the proposal is approved, the Parks Commission's share of the cost will be $145,265. The possibility exists that, as a consequence of this construction, the Commission will be able to tie together two sections of the park that are separated by wetlands. Commission directed staff to work that out as part of the project. 3-3 (Commission Meeting, May 3, 1995) Commission also directed staff to ensure that no more intrusion occurs in the park than necessary to have the work completed, plus inquire about the possibility of a credit for the engineering study we have already completed. Staff also noted that the township has agreed to waive all future tap -in fees. Moved by Mr. Olsen, supported by Mrs. Johnson to commit $145,265 as the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission's portion of the funding for the sanitary sewer system through Orion Oaks County Parks in a cooperative venture to benefit future development for Orion Oaks, Lake Orion Schools, and future development to the north of the park. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES: G. Kuhn, R. Kuhn, Law, Lewis, Olsen, Schmid, Skarritt, Johnson (8) NAYS: (0) A sufficient majority having voted, the motion carried. BOUNDARY AND SURVEY PAYMENT REQUEST - ROSE TOWNSHIP ACQUISITION: Mr. Pat Campbell reviewed the unusual circumstances which occurred during the boundary survey for the Rose Township property acquisition and requested Commission approval of the additional expenditure of $1,650; total payment to Kieft Engineering will be $9,250. Mr. Campbell noted that part of the additional expense was to survey two adjacent ten -acre parcels with homes, which will be donated to the Commission after the purchase of this parcel. Also, as a result of the survey, the acreage to be purchased has been determined at 620 acres, rather than the original estimate of 612 acres. Moved by Mr. G.

Through a system of goal -setting, friendly competition, and recognition,"ExNet" continually strives to increase performance, productivity, and service. Team Building About 30 employees meet monthly to update the network on new goals, achievements and progress on current projects. These monthly sessions also provide an environment to celebrate successes, share solutions for problems, take advantage of opportunities, evaluate methods for cost savings, and brainstorm new ideas. Team members also participate in a skill -building exercises such as improving listening abilities, preparing agendas for more efficient meetings, and evaluating/reporting cost -savings, methods for hatching brilliant ideas, and obstacles to good customer service. Team representatives then pass on this information to their co-workers in the parks, golf courses and other facilities; informally and at meetings; and at planning sessions. Accomplishments and Successes Among some of the most significant accomplishments of the teams during the past year are: -- Expansion of a computerized registration system at Addison Oaks to include group camping, camping cabins, and group picnics -- Purchase of a portable sanitary septic system to increase service to campers and generate revenue -- New ideas for training part-time employees -- Cooperative promotion and advertising of recreation, nature center, and special events -- Research for a system -wide on -site recycling program -- New fairway marker system; and new advance tees at all golf courses started in 1994 -- Improving administrative office efficiency by increasing training for, and sharing of equipment such as computers, voice mail, pagers, etc. -- Proposed installation of a message -on -hold system at Independence Oaks -- Streamlining paperwork and reducing the numbers of copies of reports -- A suggestion card to the manager presenting ideas from seasonal staff DATE: Dccenihcr 19 19941 FROM: Ralph Richard.

I respectfully request a waiver of the cost of 100 tickets to the wave pool. These tickets are intended for use by the Oakland County Community Mental Health Summer Day Treatment programs. We have five programs (Oak Park, Southfield, Pontiac, Waterford, Hazel Park) which visit the wave pool twice during the summer. Each program contains from 8 to 15 youngsters.

As you are aware, it has been a long-established policy of Oakland County to award contracts to the lowest qualified bidder. My review of the minutes indicates that this policy was not followed in the following situations: 1) Award of purchase of Clearys Fungicide, Daconil, and Thiram Fungicide to Benham Chemicals. 2) Award of purchase of three S-10 pickup trucks to Red Holman. 3) Award of purchase of mobile stage to Century Industries. I would appreciate your forwarding to me schedules reflecting all the bids on these projects, along with copies of the bids and an explanation of why the awards were not made to the lowest qualified bidder. Ralph, please also have your staff review the minutes for the past twelve months to determine if there were similar actions taken by the Commission and, if so, providing similar compilations of the bids and/or any explanation. I would appreciate having this information by May 15th. Thank you for your assistance. Cord' 1 , 4awrnce ernick Commissioner District No. 20 10-2 RacKy D. Lev;is. Jr. G -aor N. K rn Thcmras Ra�r^ A.

Pernick Commissioner District No. 20 Oakland County Board of Commissioners 1200 N. Telegraph Rd., Dept. 470 Pontiac, MI 48341-0470 Dear Commissioner Pernick: received your letter dated May. 4, 1996, inquiring about Parks and Recreation Commission purchases. In response, our staff has compiled the enclosed information on the three specific purchases you referred to in your letter. The Commission reviews each bid carefully and considers all criteria established by the Purchasing Division in its decision; ie, delivery terms or the location of a particular vendor for servicing. Parks Chairman Pecky Lewis felt it would be best that your request for a review of our purchases for the past 12 months be brought before the Parks Commission. Our next meeting is Wednesday, June 7, and your request will be on the agenda for that day. If you have any additional questions, you are welcome to call me at 858-0909. Sincerely, J Ralph Richard, Manager Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission Enc. 10-3 Mr. Lawrence Pernick Page 2 May 30, 1995 1) The Purchasing Division is responsible for bidding and subsequently establishing the blanket order for vehicle purchases in County departments. The Parks and Recreation Commission has no input into this process. Further clarification requirements on this matter should be directed to Joe Hylla, Manager of Purchasing Division. 2) The two mobile stages from Century Industries met the required specifications; the Wenger did not. We purchased the alternate mobile stage from Century Industries for the following reasons: 1. It has an acoustic band shell 2. People can see the entertainment or speaker better 3. It will provide something new and unique to what we have 4. In 1996 we could increase the rental cost of this stage 5. The stage is built to last and still has simplicity 6. The quality, safety, and structure of the stage was superior 3) Of the fungicides purchased, only the Thiram was not awarded to the low bidder. Benham Chemicals' bid was $5.20 higher than the low bidder. Upon inquiry to Joe Hylla, Manager of Purchasing, administrative costs to issue a purchase order were cited at approximately $50.00. In order to avoid that additional administrative cost for the sake of saving only $5.20, the Parks Commission voted unanimously to award the Thiram to the second low bidder, Benham Chemicals, who was the low bidder for the other two chemicals you noted in your letter. 10-4 TURF CHEMICALS ALL GOLF COURSES We have received from Purchasing the following bids for the purchase of our yearly supply of pesticides used for maintenance on the golf courses: United Horti, Terra Turf Lesco Turfgrass Burdicks Benham, Bloomfield Hls Frankenmuth Chemicals Owasso Ohio So.

Season after season, the Hustler 4200 and Hustler 4400 are your best values for high productiviy in medium to heavy turf maintenance conditions. With a fuel efficient 21.5 horsepower diesel engine, the 4200 provides plenty of power to drive a 60"or 72"deck, or any of the other optional turf maintenance or snow removal attachments, For heavier cutting requirements, step up to the Hustler 4400 with a four -cylinder, 28•horsepower diesel engine, Like the Hustler 4200, the 4400 accepts all of the Hustler attachments, plus dual Range Wings for more than 12 feet in cutting width. Both models have liquid -cooled engines and low daily maintenance requirements for long service life, In foci, Hustler's simple design actually eliminates high maintenance items such as chains, sprockets and tronsaxles. The 4200 and 4400 feature the proven Hustler dual -hydrostatic drive system with independent pumps and direct drive wheel motors. This system, combined with one -bond Trim Steering TM, g)ves you the ultimate in maneuverability. Hustler's true zero -degree radius turning lets you mow around trees and other obstacles, even cut square corners without backing up for another pass. Total control of the mower's forward, reverse, braking and turning motions is in the palm of one hand. You'll cut more acreage in less time, and with less operator fatigue than ever before. Either modal can be fitted with the rear -mounted 15-bushel Hi -Lift BAC VACT"' collection system which vacuums the turf and hydraulically raises S4"to dump from the driver's seat.

We are truly honored to host the "Great Lakes, Great Parks" Special Park Districts Forum. With a longer coastline than the entire eastern seaboard, 11,000 inland lakes, 36,000 miles of rivers and streams, millions of acres of forest, and more public golf courses than any other state, Michigan features world class recreational activities from coast to coast, especially for water -related activities. Michigan is also blessed with outstanding park systems that provide visitors from all over the world with opportunities to take advantage of the state's natural resources and beauty. Millions of people each year flock to the national, state, regional, county, and local parks located within the state to engage in their favorite outdoor recreational activity. The Huron -Clinton Metropolitan Authority and Oakland County Parks And Recreation Commission are two of Michigan's most outstanding park systems. They serve as good examples of the variety and excellent quality of recreational resources available to the outdoor enthusiast. I'm sure your tour of their parks will be both informative and pleasurable. Enjoy your stay in Michigan, and I. hope. that you will be inspired to visit our Great Lakes State again. Sincerely, John Engle4 Governor 15-4 ITEM 116 WATER TOWER SPRINGFIELD OAKS ACTIVITIES CENTER Staff will present for your information the attached report from Dixon Engineering on the condition of the Springfield Oaks Activities Center water tower. This 24-year old water tower has never been repainted. Based on the estimated cost for repair and repainting, staff feels there are a couple of options to look into: -- Bidding of the repair and painting should drive the cost down -- Do repairs and minimal repainting -- The tower's primary purpose is for the fire sprinkling system. Investigate the cost of elimination and removal of the water tower. Replace with a dry chemical fire sprinkler system. Staff will be available to answer any questions and receive direction from the Commission for future action. 16-1 ENGINEERING AND INSPECTION SERVICES FOR THE COATING INDUSTRY OAKLAND COUNTY MICHIGAN 150,000 GALLON SPHEROID 1104 Third Avenue lake Odessa, MI 48849 Fax 1-616-374/7116 Telephonel-616-374/322' PRELIMINARY STRUCTURAL INSPECTION INSPECTION PERFORMED 04/19/95 REPORT PREPARED 05/17/95 Members: Steel Structures Painting Council 16-2 American Water Works Association Consulting Engineers Council CONCLUSIONS: The wet interior coating is an aluminum vinyl system which is in poor condition. No lead was found in the primer. 2. The dry interior coating is an aluminum vinyl system over a red lead primer. The coating is in fair condition. 3. The exterior coating is an aluminum vinyl system over a red lead primer. The coating is in fair -to -poor condition. Note from William J. Dixon: All coating systems are aluminum vinyls and the assumption would be they all had the same primer. No one was concerned in 1971 about lead in the primer on steel structures, and it was an excellent system. My first reaction was the laboratory analysis was wrong. There was a possibility that a dilution factor was not included in the calculation of total lead, and the lab was asked to recheck. A dilution factor of 1000 would raise the result to 17%, which would be within the acceptable range when compared to the exterior coating. Other than a dilution, it would not be a misread by the computer; it would have to be a total breakdown. A partial read would be an incomplete scan, but the results should be in the range of 1 to 20%. This reading was 170 ppm as compared to 200,000 ppm. The computer did not shutdown because it was right back to 20% for the next two readings. 4. The tank has a 4 in. fill line which is insulated with a styrofoam insulation with taped seams. 5. The tank has a 10 in. draw line which also is insulated with styrofoam insulation, with taped seams. 6. The roof venting area is a solid area around the access tube, and is not screened. 7. The overflow pipe extends from the high water level down through the interior riser, and exits through the basebell cone The overflow pipe is screened and has a concrete splash pad beneath. 8. The tank's ladders do not contain fall prevention devices. The ladder in the riser is caged. 9. A makeshift railing has been installed by the owner around the roof access hatches. 10. The platforms in the riser are rusted. The bottom platform had 1 in. of standing water because the drain pipe was plugged. 11. A boiler is located in the basebell cone for heating water to keep the tank from freezing. 12. Both the fill and draw lines have glandular -type expansion joints located in the pit. The expansion joints are rusted, but are in working condition. 16-3 13. The roof access hatch to the wet interior does not completely close because of interference from the makeshift railing. RECOMMENDATIONS: Abrasive blast clean to a near white condition (SSPC-SP10), and repaint the tank's wet interior with a three (3) coat epoxy polyamide system. The estimated cost is S21,000. 2. Spot power tool clean and recoat the tank's exterior. The estimated cost is 522,000. Abrasive blast clean and repaint the topside of the two platform landings in the riser. The estimated cost is $2,000. 4. Install a safety railing on the roof s exterior, and remove the makeshift railing. The estimated cost is $1,800. Remove the metal box installed over the fill pipe. Install a deflector plate over the fill line. The estimated cost is $600. 6. Repair the hole that has rusted through the roof around the access tube. The estimated cost is $600. 7. Install a roof vent on the exterior roof for additional venting. The estimated cost is $2,500. Install rail -type fall prevention devices on the interior ladders. The estimated cost is $2,000. 9. As an alternative to spot power tool cleaning and recoating the tank's exterior, consider abrasive blast cleaning to remove the lead based coating on the dry interior and exterior. However, to accomplish this, the tank would have to be totally contained. The cost for containment and following lead abatement procedures is approximately $120,000. The estimated cost to repaint the dry interior and apply a two (2) coat epoxy system is $18,000, and abrasive blast clean and recoat the exterior with a four (4) coat epoxy polyurethane system is $27,000. Project cost is $165,000 to remove the lead based coating on the dry interior riser and exterior. 10. Install a 3 in. Shand and Jurs ice -free mud valve at a cost of $4,200. 16-4 ROJECT SUMMARY: Repairs: Install Roof Railing S 1,800 Remove Metal Box and Install Deflector Plate 600 Repair Hole in Roof 600 Install Roof Vent 2,500 Install Rail -Type Fall Prevention Device 2,000 Repair Insulation 300 Install Mud Valve 4.200 Total Repairs S 12,000 Repaint Repaint Alternate Interior $ 21,000 $ 21,000 Dry Interior Platforms only 2,000 Lead Removal 18,000 Exterior Spot Clean & Recoat 22,000 Lead Remove! & Total Repaint 27,000 Containment & Lead Concerns 120,000 Total $ 45,000 $186,000 Repairs 12,000 12,000 Engineering & Contingencies 6,000 28,000 Total $ 63,000 $226,000 16-5 INTRODUCTION: On April 19, 1995, Dixon Engineering, Inc. (DIXON) performed a preliminary structural inspection on the 150,000 gallon spheroid elevated water storage tank located at Andersonville Rd. at the Springfield Oaks Parks. The purpose of the inspection was to evaluate the condition of the interior and exterior coatings, inspect the structural integrity of the tank, and check for compliance with health and safety regulations. Scheduling and arrangements for the inspection were completed through John Kipke. Inspectors for DIXON were Kenneth R. Benson and Todd Adams, Staff Engineers, and John Bethell, Staff Technician. Tom Gibbs provided around assistance during cleaning and inspection. A sterilized sewer jet cleaner was provided for cleaning the tank's interior, and was operated by employees of the sewage district. After completion of cleaning and inspection, DIXON supplied chlorine for chlorination of the tank per AWWA Method No. 3. The tank is a 150,000 gallon spheroid and approximately 100 ft. to low water level. The tank was designed, fabricated, and constructed by Chicago Bridge and Iron in 1971. The tank is of welded construction. After completion of construction, the tank also was painted by Chicago Bridge and Iron with aluminum vinyl coatings. WET INTERIOR CONDITIONS: The coating on the tank's wet interior is an aluminum vinyl coating and in poor condition. The coating is 90% intact on the bowl with alligatoring of the coating. The bowl's primer is 98% intact. On the sidewalls, the coating is approximately 75% intact, with the primer approximately 95% intact. On the roof, the coating is 98% intact (topcoat and primer). The steel substrate has minor corrosion with no pitting evident, except on the roof area where there is heavy scale rusting along the lap seams and around the access tube venting area. A hole has rusted through the roof in the area around the access tube. The hole is approximately 12 in. long. A sample of the wet interior coating was taken and analyzed for lead content. Lead content was determined at 0.017% lead, which indicates the coating is not a lead based coating. The tank had approximately 16 in. of mud sediment in the mud settling area of the bowl. The tank has a 4 in. diameter fill line which extends into the bowl, and up to a level near the high water level. The tank has a separate 10 in diameter draw line. The draw line has a deflector plate over the top. The owner's personnel has installed a square box which is suspended from the roof using a chain over top of the fill pipe. However, the box has moved off the fill pipe where it had been installed. The box was intended for use as a deflector/diffuser plate. There is a ladder which extends from the roof access manway down to the bowl, along the access tube. The ladder is in very good condition. The only venting area for the tank is an area around the access tube where the access tube goes through the roof. Minimal venting has resulted in corrosion at the edge of the vent area. 16-6 DRY INTERIOR CONDITIONS: The dry interior coating is an aluminum vinyl system which is in fair condition. The coating is over a lead based primer. A coating sample was taken and tested for lead levels. The level is approximately 21 %. The aluminum riser coating has numerous sags and runs throughout. There are minor areas of coating failure and spot surface rust along some of the riser weld seams. In the access tube, there are minor pinhole spots of coating failure and surface rust. The tank has a 4 in. overflow pipe which exits through the access tube at high water level, and extends down through the dry interior and exits through the basebell cone. The dry interior also contains a 4 in. fill line, and a 10 in. draw line which extend from the basebell cone up to the bowl. Both lines are insulated with a styrofoam-type insulation with taped seams. There are couple small areas of missing insulation in the riser. The tank's dry interior ladders are in very good condition. The ladder in the riser is caged; however, the ladder does not conform to OSHA requirements because the ladders do not contain fall prevention devices. There is an 11 in. x 15 in. elliptical manway to the wet interior from the access tube, above the top platform landing in the riser. The access manway showed no signs of leaking. The riser has a platform at top of the basebell cone, and another platform at top of the riser under the bowl of the tank. The platform has extensive coating failure and surface rust. The bottom platform had approximately 1 in. of standing water because the drain was plugged. There also are three stiffener angles in the riser. The basebell cone contains valves and piping to drain the tank. There also is a hot water boiler located in the basebell cone to help keep the tank from winter freezing. The boiler system and piping were not inspected as part of this contract. The boiler draws from the 10 in. fill line and recirculates hot water back to the 4 in. fill line. The basebell cone is insulated on the interior with a spray -type insulation. The insulation is in good condition. There is a valve pit in the bottom of the basebell cone. The pit is also heated and contains the expansion joints, both on the fill and draw lines. The expansion joints are heavily rusted; however, staining indicated at least 114 in. of movement. Therefore, they appeared to work properly. 16-7 EXTERIOR CONDITIONS: The exterior coating is an aluminum vinyl system which is in fair -to -poor condition. The coating on the basebell cone has numerous, small spots of coating failure and oxidation. The coating also has significant dirt streaking, and a small amount of primer bleed -through. The riser coating is in fair condition, with dirt streaks and oxidation. The bowl of the tank is in fair -to -poor condition, with dirt streaks and oxidation on the underside of the bowl. The topside of the bowl has extensive primer bleed -through on the roof with minimal remaining topcoat. Two coating samples were taken of the exterior and analyzed for lead content. Results indicated lead levels of 20% and 32%, which indicates the coating is definitely a lead based coating. Two cross -hatch adhesion tests were performed on the tank's exterior. Test results indicated adhesion is relatively good; therefore, it is permissible to recoat over the coating. On the exterior roof, the owner has installed a railing around the access manway to the wet interior, and over to the access manway from the access tube. The railing does not conform to OSHA standards, and interferes with closing of the roof access hatch to the wet interior. The tank's venting area is a small area around the access tube through the roof. The area is not screened. At top of the riser there is a bird hatch manway to the exterior from the top platform landing. There are two painter's rings around the top of the riser for maintenance work. On the basebell cone, at the bottom of the riser, the vent pipe for the boiler extends through the basebell cone on the back side of the tank. At the side of the riser, the 4 in. overflow pipe extends through the basebell cone, and discharges over a concrete splash pad. The overflow pipe is properly screened. Also, there is an access door to the basebell cone which has a lock for preventing unauthorized access. Above the door there is a warning bell and an exterior light. The tank's foundation, grouting, and anchor bolts are in good condition. INTERIOR RECOMMENDATIONS: DIXON recommends the wet interior be abrasive blast cleaned to a near white condition (SSPC- SP10), and painted with a three (3) coat epoxy polyamide system. This system has good ice abrasion resistance characteristics, and an expected life of fifteen years. The estimated cost to abrasive blast clean and repaint the wet interior is $22,000. Prior to interior painting, repair the hole rusted through the roof by welding a plate. The estimated cost for the repair is $600, providing other weld repairs are completed at the same time. Remove the chain and box hanging from the roof. A deflector plate is recommended to disperse heated water. An elbow also would work to deflect the water back down. A deflector plate 16-8 could be installed at an estimated cost of S600. We also recommend an additional roof vent be installed at a cost of S2,500. The vent would lessen corrosion in the area of the access tube, and provide adequate interior venting. Install a 3 in mud valve in the bowl of the tank for draining mud sediment from the tank. The valve should be tied into the overflow pipe above the top platform landing. The estimated cost is S2,500. DRY INTERIOR RECOMMENDATIONS: DIXON recommends the topside of the platform landings be power tool cleaned to a SSPC-SP 11 finish, and coated with two (2) coats of epoxy polyamide. The estimated cost to abrasive blast clean and repainting is $200. If the exterior lead based coating is removed, remove all the dry interior coating at the same time. Apply a two (2) coat epoxy polyamide system. The costs of OSHA concerns would be common to the dry interior and exterior. The estimated cost is $27,000. If completed separate from the exterior, the estimated cost would be $60,000. The interior ladders do not conform to OSHA standards. Install a rail -type fall prevention device on all interior ladders. The estimated cost is $2,000. EXTERIOR RECOMMENDATIONS: DIXON recommends removal of the existing railing on the roof, and installation of a MiOSHA grade railing. The estimated cost is $1,800. Because the exterior coating contains a high level of lead and has fairly good adhesion, we recommend the tank's exterior be spot power tool cleaned with vacuum attachments, and recoated. The estimated cost for recoating is $12,000. The coating then should last an additional ten years before significant problems are noted. Aesthetically, the coating should be acceptable for eight years. As an alternate, we recommend abrasive blast cleaning the exterior to a commercial grade condition (SSPC-SP6), and recoating with a four (4) coat epoxy polyurethane system. The estimated cost to abrasive blast clean and repaint the exterior is $27,000, with another $120,000 anticipated for containment and disposal of the spent abrasive and conformance with lead regulations. The estimated life of this option is fifteen years with at least two paint overs at twelve years each before abrasive blast cleaning would again be required. This option eliminates the lead based coating, and helps keep down the cost of future maintenance, but comparatively, the cost of a new 200,000 gallon tank is approximately $375,000. . 16-9 COATING ANALYSIS: Two paint samples were taken from exterior surfaces, one paint sample from the wet interior, and one from the dry interior. DIXON completed tests on all samples for total lead, and one on an exterior sample for chrome and cadmium. All samples were run for lead because lead is the most prevalent heavy metal element found in the coating used in the past on steel structures. The DNR requires coating analysis for lead prior to any coating removal projects. The level of lead is important to the contractor. While he cannot determine what the exact exposure to his employees will be, it does assist him with gearing his work to meet OSHA standards. The lead standard requires a presumption that lead is present until it can be proven otherwise. Chrome and cadmium were tested on one of the exterior samples because of possible disposal problems. Cadmium also has a strict OSHA standard which is a factor of ten times stricter than the lead standard. The cadmium standard does not require the presumption of metal being present. Test results indicated lead at 20% - 32% (200,000 - 320,000 ppm) on the exterior, and 0.017% (170 ppm) on the wet interior coating. The dry interior tested at 21% (210,000 ppm). Chromium is present on the exterior at 0.012%. Cadmium is below detectable limits. Results indicate the existing exterior and dry interior coatings are lead based coatings which will require full containment during removal. The wet interior coating is considered lead-free. 16-1Q ITEM 117 MANAGER'S REPORT ---Fridge Update: Per Commission request, enclosed is an update on the 94-95 season for The Fridge.

Dept. 2800 Watkins Lake Rd. Pontiac, MI 48054-1697 RE: Paving of Greening, West of Glen Oaks Golf Course Dear Ralph: I am sorry that I was unable to attend your Board Meeting on April 5, 1995. However, the City's interest was well represented by Messrs. David Call and James Cubera. I understand that the Board did not feel that you should participate in the improvements to Greening similar to the abutting properties. This is unfortunate, since this action will require the residents within the district to pay a higher cost. The City is doing everything it can with the design to minimize the cost, and still retain the full benefit of the paving. This will require a reduced pavement width and unimproved drainage on the section that abuts the golf course. We are, therefore, proceeding with a revised project without your participation. cc: D.
