Moved by Mr. Palmer, supported by Mr. Millard to approve the following resolution granting the Oakland County Drain Commissioner the authority to represent the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission in applying for technical assistance and grants under the Michigan -based Storm Water General Permit Program: WHEREAS, since October 1995, the Drain Commissioner's office has been a participant on a "task force' established by Federal District court Judge John Feikens to address the short and long term water quality efforts of the communities located in the Rouge River watershed to improve the water quality of the Rouge River; and WHEREAS, in 1996 the Drain Commissioner's office introduced to Oakland County cities, villages, and townships (CVTs) located in the Rouge Watershed, the "subwatershed approach" concept for addressing and improving the water quality of the Rouge River; and WHEREAS, under this approach, the regulatory agencies, Environmental Protection Agency/Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (EPA/MDEQ), would issue a "general storm water permit" to various subwatersheds of the Rouge River; and WHEREAS, in September 1997 the Federal Court indicated its concern and impatience as to the progress towards improving the river and proposed to issue an "Order to Show Cause" against the counties of Wayne, Oakland, and Washtenaw and the CVTs in the Rouge Watershed, which among other things, would address why a "formal organization" or watershed -wide authority should not be established to address non -point source pollution problems within the Rouge Watershed; and WHEREAS, the Federal Court has held the proposed "Order to Show Cause' in abeyance until January 1999 while the Counties of Oakland, Wayne, and Washtenaw and 3-2 (Commission Meeting, December 2, 1998) CVTs located in the Rouge Watershed contemplate coverage under the Michigan's "general storm water permit;" and WHEREAS, the subwatershed approach for addressing non -point pollution contained in the general storm water permit offers a viable alternative to the court's proposed watershed -wide authority and provides strong local control of management decisions; and WHEREAS, the Rouge River National Wet Weather Demonstration Project will provide technical assistance and federal grants (up to 50% of the cost) for those communities that choose to apply for coverage now with an opportunity to implement the most cost effective approaches to meeting pollution abatement objectives; and WHEREAS, _the general storm water permit approach offers the County the opportunity to establish its own priorities, propose their own schedules and integrate storm water management practices into their ongoing operations and would allow the County and CVTs to develop a plan of action that best meets the needs of the watershed; and WHEREAS, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners established a Storm Water Management Study Group to evaluate the merits of submitting an application for coverage consisting of: Drain Commissioner or his designee Director of the Department of Human Services (or designee) Director of the Department of Facilities Management Director of the Department of Community & Economic Development (or designee) Director of the Department of Management and Budget (or designee) Chairperson of the Parks & Recreation Commission (or designee) Member of Board of Commissioners Planning & Building Committee Member of Board of Commissioners Finance and Personnel Committee WHEREAS, the Storm Water Management Study Group determined that the Drain Commissioner's office was the most appropriate entity to coordinate storm water controls.

Wal 'ITEM #10 LYON OAKS PROPERTY ACQUISITION GRANT EXTENSION We had anticipated that the 13.8-acre acquisition of property adjacent to Lyon Oaks Park would be completed by this date, but due to a delay we have not completed the acquisition. Because this acquisition is being enabled by a matching grant from the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund, we need to request the grant project agreement be extended. This must be accomplished with a resolution from the Parks Commission. (See Attached) Staff will make a brief update on this project. 10-1 RESOLUTION WHEREAS, the County of Oakland, Department of Parks and Recreation, entered into the Project Agreement, Lyon Oaks Acquisition TF 96-026, with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources on the 2nd day of April 1997; WHEREAS, the AGREEMENT includes an effective acquisition completion deadline of December 31, 1998 pursuant to Paragraph 4 (e); and WHEREAS, an extension period is available for when a project completion date is extended due to delays in acquisition; and WHEREAS, the Lyon Oaks Acquisition has shown significant and continued progress toward completion; and Whereas, the..Oakland County.

This project is being funded by a Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund, which is due to expire on December 31, 1998. Due to winter construction, interfacing the existing structure with the new, and the possibility of poor weather conditions, we anticipate delays and feel it is necessary to amend the grant agreement with an extension. We are now making better progress and expect completion toward the end of April. A resolution is required to amend the agreement. See attached amendment. A brief presentation will be made on the status of this project.

The aerators were originally budgeted from the 1998 Operating Equipment Budget Surplus Fund. Delivery and billing of the aerators did not occur until November, 1998 after the closing of Fiscal Year 1997-98. In light of the FY 1997-98 closing and the HRFIS elimination of the Operating Equipment Budget, staff requests approval to transfer the amount $15,555.00 from the Operating Budget Contingency Fund to the Addison Oaks Operating Equipment (#9157) line item account. 13-1 ITEM #14 ROAD GRAVEL FOR PARKING LOTS ROSE OAKS In November, parks operations staff, in conjunction with a contractor constructed two temporary day use parking lots on Fish Lake Road and Buckhorn Lake Road at Rose Oaks County Park. To construct the parking lots according to engineered specifications and township requirements, a total of 975.93 tons of 21-AA road gravel was required. The road gravel was purchased through the Oakland County blanket order contract. Staff is requesting authorization for payment of $12,931.07 to U. S. Sand and Stone, White Lake Township. The monies for this expenditure are included in the 1998-99 Capital Improvement Project Budget. 14-1 ITEM #15 OAKLAND COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION 1999 MASTER CALENDAR DAY DATE FUNCTION WEDNESDAY JANUARY 6 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING WEDNESDAY JANUARY 20 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 17 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING WEDNESDAY MARCH 3 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING FRIDAY MARCH 12 EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION BANQUET - GLEN OAKS WEDNESDAY MARCH 17 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING WEDNESDAY APRIL 7 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING WEDNESDAY APRIL 21 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING WEDNESDAY MAY 5 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING FRIDAY MAY 7 COMMISSION/LEGISLATIVE OUTING -WHITE LAKE WEDNESDAY MAY 19 COMMISSION MEETING - TENTATIVE WEDNESDAY JUNE 2 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING WED.

Poisson, Director 858-0553 John Ross 858-0558 December 15, 1998 OAKLAND COUN7y PARKS & RECREATION comm Re:_ Remedial Action Plan at Red OaksGoldCourse - - Dear Jon: DEC 16 1998 RECEIVED& You have asked this office to determine whether or not the Oakland County Parks & Recreation Commission is obliged to pay a portion of a fee for consulting engineering services rendered to the Southeastern Oakland County Resource Recovery Authority (SOCRRA) pertaining to property currently leased to the Parks Commission for a portion of Red Oaks Golf Course. You have enclosed a portion of the Lease which you believe might apply to such a bill. I have reviewed the bill, the entire 1975 Lease between SOCRRA and the Parks Commission, and the statutory provisions under which SOCRRA became an authority. My review of the law and the documents indicate that the Parks & Recreation Commission is under no obligation to pay this bill. SOCRRA became an authority pursuant to Public Act 179 of 1947. That Act does not authorize SOCRRA to levy or assess taxes or levy special assessments. in the Lease which the Commissions has with SOCRRA, the Commission is only responsible for paying taxes or special assessments on a timely basis (if any need be paid) and before they become delinquent. The bill for engineering services can not be considered a special assessment within the meaning of that portion of paragraph 3 found on page 3 of the 1975 Lease which speaks to special assessments. The bill for engineering services is nothing more than a bill SOCRRA incurred as part of its responsibilities for ownership of the land. My review of the entire Lease revealed no other provision which might obligate the Commission to pay this bill. I trust the foregoing answers your inquiry.

At that time, if was my understanding that the Communities believed that the Project could be planned, constructed and financed most effectively through the Office of the Oakland County Drain Commissioner pursuant to the provisions of Act 342 of the Public Acts of 1939 or Chapter 20 of the Drain Code of 1956. My purpose in the creation of the advisory committee was to facilitate communication between the Drain Office and the Communities and to provide a method for the Communities to provide input to the Drainage Board or the County Agency. It was anticipated that, if the Project were to be financed pursuant to Chapter 20, all views expressed at a meeting of the advisory committee would be presented to the Drainage Board for its consideration as the entity ultimately responsible for making decisions relative to the Project. If the Project was to be financed pursuant to Act 342, the views of the advisory committee would be presented to the County Agency responsible for the Project. Because the advisory committee was to be advisory in nature and because of my belief that all sides of any issue should be considered by the Drainage Board or the County Agency, it was my proposal that the advisory committee would not act by formal votes of its members but, rather, that all views expressed would be presented to the Drainage Board or the County Agency. The first meeting of the advisory committee was held on December 10, 1998, and did not proceed as I had envisioned. The Communities appear to be proposing the creation of an entity that would be responsible for making all decisions regarding the Project, which decisions would then be transmitted to the Drainage Board or the County Agency for action. This is inconsistent with my purposes for establishing the advisory committee and the functions of the Drainage Board or the County Agency as set forth in the respective statutes. At a meeting of the members of the Chapter 20 Drainage Board held on December 15, 1998, the proposal, as we understand it, was presented to the Drainage Board. Jon Austin was also in attendance and participated extensively in the discussion. Neither the Drain Commissioner nor the Drainage Board is prepared to proceed with the Project on the basis of our understanding of the proposal of the Communities. A part of the discussion focused upon the fact that the Drain Commissioner and the Drainage Board are without legal authority to proceed with the Project at this time. There has been neither a request for a Chapter 20 petition nor a request to establish a project under Act 342. 17-4 To: Those persons listed on the attached Distribution List December 18, 1998 Page Two As a result of discussion at that meeting, and with the advise of the Drainage Board, I wish to inform you that until the Project has been formally established, either through Chapter 20 of the Drain Code or Act 342, my office will not proceed further with the Project and will not proceed with preparing a RFP for the consultant to monitor the Project. The only exceptions to the foregoing are as follows: • We will award the contract for the preparation of the Project Plan so that SRF funding is not jeopardized. • We will continue to coordinate the NPDES Permit requirements due January 19, 1999. • We will attend the meeting scheduled for January 21, 1999, but you should not construe our attendance as implying our agreement to the creation of a decision -making entity. In view of the recent developments, which cast into doubt the nature and extent of the involvement of my office and the Drainage Board, I believe it is vitally important for the Communities to decide in a timely manner the method by which they wish to proceed with the Project. This decision must be made by or around Mach 1, 1999, to keep the project on schedule. If the method should involve the County Agency or the Drainage Board, we will do everything within our power to facilitate the planning, financing and construction of the Project, and I will personally pursue every available possibility for securing financial assistance. If the Communities should determine to proceed with the Project independently, my office, of course, will cooperate with the Communities to the fullest extent possible.
