ITEM #10
Transit Liner Commercial Bus
Mobile Recreation
As directed by the Parks Commission at the January 6 meeting, staff contacted Mr. Pat
Riley at SMART. SMART does not currently have a contract for Bluebird buses, and
would have to bid as we would have to. The Bluebird buses they currently have are in the
$165,000 price range.
Since our last bus was ordered in 1997, the base price of the bus has increased $7,100,
which is an increase of 3.5% per year. We have also chosen additional options for this
bus that were not on the previous bus. They include: a coolant water filter, silicone
engine cooling hose, fuel filter/water separator, emergency release air -powered doors,
entry door security locks, accessory power socket, silicone heater hose w/constant torque
clamps, wiring conduit 2-way radio, armrest, Bostrom (air) driver's seat, and delayed
windshield wipers. Total cost for these options is $1,000. Also, federally -required anti -
lock brakes are an additional $1,300.
The seatbelts for the new bus will not be included in the base price of the bus as they
were in 1997; they are an additional $2,210.
Cost of the entire handicap lift package is $9,349, which includes the following:
wheelchair lift door, wheelchair lift, flip seats over wheelchair spots, tie downs for
wheelchairs, brake interlock, and ADA compliant lighting.
The service we have received from Bluebird has been exceptional; they have shown
themselves to be very reliable when our buses have needed service or repair.
Therefore, staff recommends awarding the purchase of the transit bus to the sole bidder,
Holland Bus Company of Holland, MI, for $124,058.
There is $120,000 budgeted in the 2000 Operating Equipment line item. The balance of
$4,058 will be transferred from the Operating Budget Contingency.

MOBILE RECREATION
BUS HISTORY
Since the inception of the Mobile Recreation bus program in 1976, the primary objective has been to
provide an outreach program to the areas of Oakland County lacking in recreational resources such as staff
or facilities. In addition, the Mobile Recreation units and staff allow our agency to develop and expand a
positive public image.
In 1976, Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission began the busing program through the Federal
CETA Title X Grant. Through the U.S. Federal Grant program, the Parks Commission acquired three
buses and the services of 300 CETA workers. The acquired buses were used to transport the workers to
various work sites in the county.
The funding of the grant ended in 1977 and with it the services of the 300 CETA workers. At that time, the
Parks Commission was left with the three buses. Realizing the uniqueness of a recreational busing
program, the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission put the buses into use outreaching those
within the county least able to participate in quality recreational programs. The program has transported all
ages throughout the county and provided an opportunity to experience recreation in all areas, such as the
Oakland County Parks, professional sporting events, Upland Hills Farm, local ski areas, Henry Ford
Museum and Greenfield Village, Detroit Zoo, Cranbrook Museum and much more.
This program is also a very important part of our recreation programs, providing transportation for our
summer sports camps, fall tours, shuttles for special events and campground recreation travel program, and
Adopt -A -Highway.
REPLACEMENT OF BUS 88-913
1. THE BUSING PROGRAM HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE THE
FOLLOWING:
A. Transportation as an outreach program to community groups, especially from highly
populated areas of the county, to our facilities and programs.
B. Transportation to destinations in Oakland County for recreational or educational interest,
such as museums, theaters, sporting events, etc.
C. A public relations tool for promoting the services and park facilities of the Oakland
County Parks and Recreation Commission, and supplement existing programs.
2. REASONS WHY WE SHOULD REPLACE BUS 88-913
A. Bus 88-913 is eleven years old.
B. Records show that bus 88-913 has the highest repair over the past 5 years. Engine has
been replaced twice.
C. Many groups do not rent bus 88-913 because this bus has the lowest seating capacity of
36.
10-2
3. REASONS WHY WE NEED TO REPLACE BUS 88-913 WITH A TRANSIT BUS
A. Many groups, especially the seniors, do not like to ride our buses because of the large
steps at the entrance, uncomfortable seating, and no air conditioning or storage. The
transit bus would solve these problems.
B. The number of rentals will increase. Since we purchased our first transit bus, it has been
apparent that more seniors and adult groups are willing to rent the upgraded bus. We
continue to get calls from these groups.
C. The transit bus will have a larger seating capacity. At present, our buses only seat from
36 to 40 people. Many bus reservations are lost due to the unavailability for a larger
capacity bus. The new transit bus will seat approximately 44 people.
D. A new bus means fewer breakdowns and greater reliability.
E. The new bus will have a better, more comfortable ride, and will be easier for everyone to
get on and off.
We will get better mileage; the new bus will have a diesel engine.
G. Bus rentals will increase, which will generate more revenue.

2000 RECOMMENDED COMMISSION BUS RENTAL FEE:
$300.00
Mobile Recreation staff recommends to the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission that we
purchase a transit -style bus with a handicap lift. Oakland County Parks and Recreation promotes its
programs to all groups and does not discriminate, according to the American Disabilities Act. Therefore,
we need a new bus to be accessible to all, as we would be replacing our only handicap -accessible bus.
We also recommend that the bus include seatbelts in every seat. We consider this to be much safer for our
patrons, our drivers have better control over rental groups, and many times groups will request our existing
transit over a cheaper mode of transportation for this reason.

due to the small size of the order; it was not large enough for them to be interested in bidding.
Staff recommends awarding the purchase of the bus to the sole bidder, Holland Bus Company of Holland,
Michigan, for $124,058.00.
There is $120,000.00 budgeted in the 2000 Operating Equipment. The remaining $4,058.00 will be

ITEM #11
EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S REPORT
---Over the past few months, Corporation Counsel has been working with Nextel on a lease for
cellular phone antenna on the water tower at Springfield Oaks. This project is getting closer to
reality; once all the "I's are dotted and the T's are crossed," staff will bring it back to the
Commission for review and approval.
---The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has notified staff that the funds for the 189-
acre acquisition at Independence Oaks have been approved and are awaiting the governor's
signature. With this information, the DNR has approved the Parks hiring two independent firms
to perform appraisals on this parcel. Staff will bring the results of the appraisals back to the
Commission once they are received.
---Attached is a copy of a letter from Mr. Joe Colaianne of Corporation Counsel to Mr. Larry
Sherman regarding the George W. Kuhn Drainage District and Project for your information. Staff
will be available to answer any questions.
---Attached is information on the Pace Keepers Program instituted by the department to help the
golfers have a more enjoyable experience and to help speed up play.
Please review; staff will be available to answer any questions you may have.
---Staff has met with Springfield Township Supervisor Collin Walls and Springfield Township
Parks Director Jennifer Tucker to discuss improvements to the Davisburg dam and surrounding
area. It was suggested at the meeting to consider straightening out the road so more property
would be available on the south side of the road. This would be more desirable for a pathway to
town and fishing along the dam surface.
Subsequently, a meeting was held with James Fanzini of the Road Commission to determine
their interest and concerns of Davisburg Road that crosses over the dam. Road Commission
staff members expressed a great interest in having the road wider. They thought the idea of
straightening out the road had merit and would look into the feasibility of such a change. Staff is
continuing to look into this option. Questions to be answered are funding, right-of-ways, and
design of the park improvements and road.
---Oakland County Parks and Recreation was asked to participate with Oakland Conservation
District for a grant for a native plant demonstration at Independence Oaks. The grant is to
restore an acre of an existing meadow with native grasses and wildflowers. Our participation is
primarily in -kind service and location. This will provide an opportunity to cooperate with another
agency and promote the planting of native species.

Re: George W. Kuhn Drainage District and Project
Dear Mr. Sherman:
IMES
I owl, I
As a follow up to the meeting of December 15, 1999 in Madison Heights, the Twelve Towns
Advisory Committee's legal subcommittee, requested that I provide a list of the concerns of the
County with respect to this project.
As I briefly discussed, there are numerous public corporations, each with distinct and
sometimes adverse legal interests, involved in the MDEQ-required improvements to the
Southeastern Oakland County Sewage Disposal System [SOCSDS] retention treatment facility
[RTF].
The SOCSDS RTF was constructed in the early 1970's pursuant to the County -Public
Improvement Act, 1939 Act 342 [MCL 46.171 et seq]. It was constructed as a consequence to
the sewage and waste discharges from the Twelve Towns Drainage District to the Red Run
Drain. The RTF is operated and maintained by the "county agency", the Drain Commissioner on
behalf of the 14 Twelve Towns communities. The facility is regulated by the Federal Clean
Water Act of 1977, 33 USC 1251 et seq. and is authorized to discharge treated combined sewer
overflows (CSOs) into the Red Run Drain.
As you are aware, in the fall, 1998, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality
mandated that the 14 Twelve Towns communities make certain improvements to the RTF.
Although legal title of the RTF is held by the County of Oakland, by law the County [and by
order of Judge Feikens dated December 23, 1997, see County of Oakland, et al. v. State of
Michiagn Department of Environmental Quality, et al, Case no. 96-75481, "Order Granting
Partial Summary Disposition," December 23, 1997] is not responsible for the proposed
improvements to the RTF.
The communities have chosen to use Chapter 20 of the Drain Code of 1956 to implement the
necessary improvements. Under Michigan law, this newly created Chapter 20 Drainage District,
the George W. Kuhn Drainage District [GWK DD], is a separate and independent legal
corporation.

At the present time, the GWK DD has no property interests in the property occupied by the RTF;
consequently, it has no inherent authority to begin construction absent approval from the County
of Oakland. Unless otherwise instructed by my client, this approval is contingent on the
following assurances of the GWK DD:
1) That the drainage district maintain public liability or other insurance to cover such
potential liabilities, including environmental liability, during and after construction of the
proposed improvements. The insurance shall be purchased as an expense to the
district.
2) That to the extent permitted by law, the drainage district indemnify and hold harmless,
the County of Oakland, its elected officials, employees, representatives and volunteers
of all liability and potential claims, during and after construction.
�) at 6 to drainage district pay for ail costs associated with the restoration of the County's
Red Oaks golf course.
4) That the drainage district indemnify and hold harmless the County with respect to any
costs related to the disruption, destruction and/or restoration of the Golf Dome and
Sports Village.

PACE KEEPERS PROGRAM
Last year the Parks Commission directed staff to initiate a program in the year
2000 on ways to speed up play at the county golf courses.
Presently we are implementing a number of courses of action. These, as stated
below, will be re-emphasized at the start of the upcoming golf season.
• The starters noting a foursome's starting time, then checking with them at the
turn to see if they're within the two-hour turnaround for nine holes of golf.
• Having rangers at our courses to assist in speeding up play
• Encouraging the golf leagues to make a stronger attempt at playing faster
• Using a number of reminders in helping speed up play with the golf carts. The
most effective approach, though, is having educated golfers. Subsequently,
the goal of the new "Pace Keepers Program" will be to educate golfers on the
do's and don'ts of playing golf and to adopt a "ready golf' routine/philosophy
(Information is attached.)
This information will be sent to all of our 85 golf leagues for them to distribute to
their golfers. We will also post it in our pro shops and other areas that will
promote the idea to have more enjoyable golf for everyone by cooperating and
picking up the pace.
Staff will be available to answer any questions you may have.
