The paper included background information, public input substantiating the need and demand, financial commitment, partnerships, fair pricing practices, economic benefits, and how the parks serve populations with special needs. Commissioners recommended several additional minor changes to be incorporated into the final document.

CANINE TRAINING CENTER — INDEPENDENCE OAKS: The Oakland County Sheriff's Office has contacted staff, requesting consideration to develop a canine training facility at Independence Oaks. Staff has designated an area of approximately two acres in size and located in a non-public area behind the maintenance building at the park. The facility would be used year round and periodically at night; other agencies would participate in occasional joint training sessions. Cost for the upgrades to the site will be borne by the Oakland County Sheriff's Office. Staff is working with Assistant Corporation Counsel John Ross on a use permit for this canine training facility. Staff will also follow up with the Sheriff's Office on protocols for the use of firearms and fireworks with the training. Moved by Mr. Palmer, supported by Mr. McCulloch to authorize staff to negotiate a use permit with the Oakland County Sheriff's Office for a canine training facility at Independence Oaks. AYES: Crawford, Gregory, Knollenberg, Lewis, McCulloch, Palmer, Skarritt, VanderVeen, Vogt (9) 4-3 (Commission Meeting, October 5, 2005) NAYS: (0) Motion carried on a voice vote. ELLIS BARN UPDATE: Design and Development staff provided a brief update on the progress of the Ellis Barn Relocation project, noting the barn is expected to be substantially complete in November. WHITE LAKE OAKS CLUBHOUSE: Design and Development staff provided a brief update on the progress of the construction of the White Lake Oaks Clubhouse, noting the project should be complete by May. SULLIVAN PROPERTY WETLAND MITIGATION: Design and Development staff member Jon Noyes provided additional information on the questions raised at the September meeting on the proposed wetland mitigation project at Addison Oaks — valuation of the mitigation credit and the impact of the conservation easement. Mr. Noyes noted a conservation easement would be required for the 125 acres proposed in this mitigation. The easement, however, can be designed to fit whatever future needs the Parks Commission thinks may be required, including a road. Also, preservation is compatible with the uses proposed to the Oakland County Board of Commissioners when the property was being considered for acquisition. Mr. Ron Kinney, from the Road Commission for Oakland County, provided a history of the wetland mitigation program, explaining the different allowances — creation, replacement, preservation — and shared some of the features of the proposed mitigation at Addison Oaks that make this project unique. He also shared information on the basis for the proposed easement valuation of $70,000. Commissioner McCulloch suggested that, because of this unique situation, we hire an outside expert to help determine this value. Paul Dove from the Drain Commission can provide names as referrals for this determination. Mr. Kinney noted that the agreement should be completed and provided to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality within the next three months. Moved by Mr. McCulloch, supported by Mr. VanderVeen to direct staff to work with Oakland County Property Management staff to hire a qualified independent appraiser to determine the value of the 125-acre conservation easement at Addison Oaks. AYES: Crawford, Gregory, Knollenberg, Lewis, McCulloch, Palmer, Skarritt, VanderVeen, Vogt (9) 4-4 (Commission Meeting, October 5, 2005) NAYS: (0) Motion carried on a voice vote. TRAILS UPDATE: Marge Gatliff, Trails Network Coordinator, updated the Commission on accomplishments achieved by the Oakland County Trails Advisory Council since its inception in 2003, along with upcoming special events scheduled throughout the different trail systems. EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S REPORT: In addition to the Executive Officer's Report filed in the agenda, the following was noted: ---Closing on the Sullivan property acquisition is scheduled for today, October 5, at 1:30 p.m. Chairman Lewis and Administrator — Parks Operations Stencil will be attending. ---As a result of miscommunication between Oakland County Parks and the Huron -Clinton Metropolitan Authority, the fee for the 2006 joint parks pass will be $43 rather than the $45 approved by the Parks Commission during the budget review process. ---Former Parks Director R. Eric Reickel will be inducted into the MRPA Hall of Fame October 6.

The attached documentation on this issue is provided for your information. 8-1 Page 2 of 3 From: Laurie Van Pelt[mailto:vanpeltl@co.oakland.mi.us] Sent: Friday, October 07, 2005 5:42 PM To: jsmalley@mhsa.com Cc: Patterson, L Brooks; Tom Hickson; Gerry Poisson; Bob Daddow; VanderVeen, David; Doyle, Larry; Chuck Moss; Tim Soave; Shelley Taub; Dave Hieber; Dohany, Patrick Subject: HB 5274 John, here is a summary regarding the issues with HB 5274 as we discussed on the telephone. First, some history. When the state eliminated the revenue sharing appropriation to counties last year, it also eliminated the state inventory payment. It is important to understand the background of the state inventory payment. A while back (couple decades ago), personal property taxes were levied on store inventories. Because of the hassle/cost of stores having to close for an entire day to do inventory, taking massive mark- downs in an attempt to reduce their inventory each year, auditing of the records, etc., the state decided to exempt inventories from taxation. To offset the loss of revenues to the local taxing jurisdictions (along with other SBT changes), the state appropriated the inventory payment which is basically a P1LT to offset the local revenue loss. The inventory payment was paid by the state to counties and to parks authorities. When the state issued a check to the county for its inventory payment (to every county as far as I know), they also included the parks' share in one check to the county. The County Treasurers then acted as paying agents on behalf of the State and "passed through" the state's inventory payment to the parks. It was never a funding obligation of the counties. This is similar to what the state had wanted to do a couple years ago through proposed legislation (which didn't pass) to cut their administrative costs by asking the counties to act as their paying agent for all the PILT payments to all local units of government in the county. The state wanted to do this so they wouldn't have to send out so many checks. This is the history of why the counties issued checks to parks for the state's inventory payment - as a pass through paying agent on behalf of the state. Our county never received those dollars as revenue into its budget and never had a County budget appropriation to the parks. Now that we have the history on the inventory payment, I'll proceed. When the state eliminated the inventory payment appropriation last year, the state administration forgot one detail. They forgot that part of that appropriation was for the parks - they assumed that it was all for the counties. Thus, there is no longer any appropriation left for the state to provide inventory payments to the parks. The counties are no longer receiving the check from the state, thus they have no dollars to pass through to the parks. HB 5274 attempts to "mandate" the counties to take dollars from their revenue sharing reserve funds and give those dollars to the parks to replace the inventory payment funds that the state used to appropriate for the parks. The state DMB office is asserting that since the counties used to pay the parks, we should still continue to pay the parks out of revenue sharing reserve funds. That is bunk. It was never our obligation to begin with - the counties voluntarily served as a pass through agent for the state to save the state some work by reducing the number of checks that the state had to process, very similar to how we're voluntarily helping the state with this statewide homestead exemption audit to help them maximize their school aid dollars (we're not obligated to do that, but we do so trying to help out). What is very crucial in all of this is that the parks had an inventory payment in the first place because they have their own separate, voted, dedicated millage. The county's revenue sharing reserve fund comes from the county's own voted millage dedicated for general operations. None of our 4.19 mills is dedicated for the parks - they have their own dedicated millage. Why does the State's administration think it is legal to take the county's general operating dollars and mandate that a portion of those dollars should be diverted to the parks? Is that what the voters intended when they voted for the county millage? If the parks lost their inventory payment, why wouldn't they be treated as the county has been treated? The state can also move the parks' winter tax collection date up to July and let the parks create their own reserve fund that will dissipate over time. There are some in the state administration who are misinterpreting the language in the current law that requires the county to distribute taxes from the accelerated collection date that are collected on behalf of authorities. First of all, we are not collecting the parks' tax as part of our revenue sharing reserve fund. The language in the law has to do with the captured county 4.19 mills for other authorities that do receive a portion of the county millage, such as DDA and TIFA's. Those authorities actually received a windfall when the tax shift occurred since they received an acceleration in tax payments (four years worth in three fiscal periods) without having any 10/13/05 8_2 Page 3 of 3 restrictions on the accelerated tax collection or needing those funds to replace lost state funds as the counties had (a little digression but important to distinguish between those authorities that capture county operating mills versus the parks authorities that do not capture any county operating mills). The bottom line is this. The State administration goofed because they forgot that a portion of the state inventory payment appropriation went to parks and not all of it went to counties. The parks discovered they weren't going to be receiving these payments any longer and asked the state administration to fix it. The state administration pointed the parks in the counties' direction. The counties told the parks we no longer get your inventory payment from the state so we do not have the dollars to give to you. The parks' lobbyist went back to the state adminsitration. The state administration initiated SB 5274 which shifts a former state program to the counties because the state goofed and requires the counties to fund this out of their general operating tax levy. If this legislation passes, the County is already doing the legal research as it pertains to violating Headlee in preparation for potential litigation. This legislation would also mandate a County appropriation in order to pay the parks. Currently, the Board of Commissioners appropriates the county budget. There are other options that the state could pursue to avoid the consequences/reaction from the counties if this legislation passes. 1) The state administration could fix its mistake by asking the legislature to reinstate the inventory payment appropriation for the parks. I don't how much it would be statewide - the amount for Huron Clinton Metropolitan Authority is about $500,000 total for its five county area. Statewide, I'm guessing it might be a couple million dollars, but I don't really know. 2) The state could pass legislation for the parks identical to what it did to the counties last year by shifting the parks' winter tax date to July over a three year period and require the parks to dedicate the additional year's worth of accelerated tax collection into a reserve fund to replace the inventory payments. 3) The state could do nothing and let the parks absorb the reduction, similar to the reductions that the counties and all the CVTs had to absorb throughout the years in revenue sharing cuts. If others on this e-mail would like to provide additional information that I may have excluded, please feel free to do so. 10/13/05 8-3 Page 1 of 3 Ralph Richard From: Karen Kohn [kohnk@co.oakland.mi.us] Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2005 8:42 AM To: Richard, Ralph; Trionfi, Frank Subject: FW: WALK-ON ITEM Ralph and Frank: Please see the message from Hugh Crawford, along with the proposed resolution.

Patterson, Chairperson RE: OPPOSITION TO HB 5274 - REQUIRES COUNTIES TO ASSUME THE STATES FINANCIAL OBLIGATION TO PARK AUTHORITIES To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS prior to the passage of P.A. 357 of 2004, counties served as a paying agent on behalf of the State of Michigan for State Inventory Payments to local Park Authorities, which was funded through a dedicated millage; and WHEREAS the passage of Act 357 of 2004 eliminated state revenue sharing appropriations and state inventory payments; and WHEREAS state inventory payments were "passed through" the counties to the park authorities and never included county tax dollars; and WHEREAS House Bill 5274 was introduced to "correct" the elimination of that funding to local park authorities; and WHEREAS HB 5274 would require counties to make up the lost funding to park authorities from its Revenue Sharing Reserve Fund, which is derived from the county general operating millage; and WHEREAS if passed, HB 5274 would require counties to assume the state's financial obligation to park authorities; and WHEREAS HB 5274 violates the Headlee Amendment by mandating a new obligation to fund parks out of county tax proceeds in order to replace state dollars that were eliminated by state legislative action. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners strenuously objects to the raid on counties' Revenue Sharing Reserve Fund, which is intended to replace state revenue sharing dollars. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges its legislative delegation to reject and defeat HB 5274. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution shall be sent to the Governor, Representatives and Senators representing Oakland County and the Michigan Association of Counties. Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution. GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE 8-5 ITEM #9 PEOPLESOFT UPDATE Staff will present a verbal update on the progress with the transition to the new PeopleSoft financial software, 9-1 ITEM #10 CATALPA PARK It has been brought to Parks staff attention that the county is interested in selling 22 acres of property in Southfield; the value of the property is estimated at $660,000 to $1,100,000. The City of Southfield has been given the option to purchase the parcel by December 31, or it will go on the open market. This property has been offered to the Parks Commission in the past; however, since the county already owns it, the Parks Commission has not been in favor of using additional taxpayer funds to purchase it. Possible options are: 1) The Oakland County Board of Commissioners transfer the operational responsibility to the Parks Commission and let the Parks Commission work with the City of Southfield to continue to use the property for recreation space at no cost. 2) Continue the present lease with the City of Southfield for $1/year for the 25-acre parcel. Staff's recommendation would be to continue with the lease for possible future county purposes or needs. 10-1 Oakland County Department of Facilities Management 5/17/2005 REPORT Status of Lease with Option to Purchase Agreement With City of Southfield Southfield Health Center/Catalpa Park Part of Parcel Nos. 24-13-426-001 and 24-13-404-013 On April 22, 2004 the County of Oakland and the City of Southfield entered into a one year Lease with Option to Purchase Agreement. The agreement provided for the continued leasing of approximately 25-acres of the Health Center property to the City of Southfield for recreation purposes for one dollar per year. The agreement further granted the City the option to purchase approximately 22-acres of the Health Center property prior to May 5, 2005. The agreement expired on May 5, 2005. Pursuant to the attached letter received on April 29, 2005 the City has now requested that the lease be extended for an additional five years. Background The Southfield Health Center was acquired by the County in 1964 from the Berkley School District at a cost of $352,000. The property is located at 27725 Greenfield Road (SW corner of Greenfield Rd. and Catalpa Dr.) in the City of Southfield. The overall property measures approximately 28.43-acres in size and is improved with a two-story 37,995-sf masonry office building. The Oakland County Health Department presently occupies the building and approximately 3.47-ac, of the site whereas, the remaining 24.96-ac. is leased to the City of Southfield for recreational purposes (Catalpa Park). Site improvements include two asphalt - paved parking lots, which serve the Health Center. The park area consists of one gravel parking area, six soccer fields and two baseball fields. The site is generally open and level at street grade. The City has leased the property since 1978. The Southfield Little League Corporation leased the property from 1964 thru 1978. Zoning: The subject is zoned RA for single family residential use. The minimum -zoned lot size is 7,500-sf with a minimum lot width of 65-ft. Proposed Land to be sold Approximately 22.0-ac. of the 28.43-ac. site are proposed to be sold. The County will retain approximately 6.43-ac. for the continued operation of the Health Center inclusive of 3-ac. for future expansion. Estimated Value 22-ac. @ $30,000 to $50,000/acre would yield between $660,000 and $1,100,000 (subject to obtaining formal appraisals of the land). Staff is seeking the committee's direction as to a course of action.

To continue the thrills and excitement of racing bicycles, a new track design was developed at the end of the previous season. The National Bicycle League National event was held in August and was very successful, with 918 riders from across the United States and Canada. We had over 2,500 spectators enjoy our National event, and many took advantage of the primitive camping and the Waterford Oaks Wave Pool. Saturday race times were changed to later in the day, and parents and volunteers were very happy with the change. This also gave us more time to work on the track. We also offered two free practice coupons on the 2005 flyers, and many of the riders took advantage of this offer. The total number of riders participating in our 32 weekly races was 1,948 with only four rain - outs. We had 35 scheduled practices, with 1, 247 riders participate and only two rain -outs. Weather in the 90's contributed to a lower weekday attendance. The Waterford Oaks BMX program was selected to be part of the Detroit Public Broadcasting Station program called "Get Up & Get Out." In September, the Detroit Public Broadcasting Station put together a special filming of our BMX program, which has been already aired and will be airing again in the spring of 2006. The Waterford Oaks Volunteers are a very important part the BMX program and continue to assist the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission to have one of the best BMX programs in the United States. This year our volunteers put in 3,780 hours. The volunteer association recently elected a new board and plans for 2006 season are already in the works. The Waterford Oaks BMX program is now gearing up for the 2006 program. We are very excited to be hosting another NBL National in August and have been selected to host the Michigan State Championship. 14-1 ---Sullivan Property: The closing on the Sullivan property, scheduled for the afternoon of September 5, went smoothly.

This summer was a banner year for 90+ degree-days, with 20 days versus just 1 in 2004. Waterford Oaks Revenue was $809,234, up 11% from last year. Red Oaks Revenue was $1,137,000, up 27% up from last year. (20% of Red Oaks Revenue was from our twilight patrons, 4-close) Waterford Oaks brought in 90,642 guests, up 19% from last year. Red Oaks brought in 103,132 guests, up 24% from last year. (We went into overflow parking 24 times this summer. This resulted in a need for additional staff to direct patrons to park on the grass) Due to excellent weather conditions, Red Oaks had 110 Pavilion Rentals, compared to 72 rented in 2004. Waterford Oaks had 63 Pavilion Rentals, compared to 51 in 2004. Overall, 75% of the lifeguard staff returned to Waterford Oaks for 2005; 77% of the staff returned to Red Oaks Waterpark. All waterpark staff performed well this year, with the lifeguards' average score of 97% on 3 audits. For the second year in a row, a major honor was bestowed upon a Waterford Oaks Waterpark lifeguard: Jodi George, a second -year guard, won the Golden Guard Award from J.Ellis Incorporated. This award goes to a guard who consistently performs above and beyond the standards set by the National Pool and Waterpark lifeguard -training program. Only 58 total awards were given out to all of the clients (35,000 lifeguards in 1,500 facilities) of J. Ellis Inc. This is the 3`a one Waterford Oaks Waterpark has received in 5 years! Actual saves (or rescues) nearly doubled over last year to 122 at Waterford Oaks and 307 at Red Oaks Waterpark. The majority of those saved are young males age 7-12 in 4-6 feet of water between 4-8p on a Sunday. Waterford Oaks had 45 first aid injuries, while Red Oaks had 84 injuries (from bloody noses to bee stings). Waterford Oaks Swim Instructors taught over 470 participants in its learn to swim program, down about 50 participants from last summer. The lower number is due to smaller class sizes, which was a request of the majority of the swim lesson evaluations. The small class size did result in higher scores on the surveys from this summer. Thanks to our excellent instructors, 95% of the responses to the swim lesson survey checked strongly agree to both "I would enroll my child next year" and "I would recommend this 14-9 course to a friend." This year we offered two sessions of evening classes, which were very popular and most all filled up. Red Oaks Swim Instructors taught 157 participants this year, compared to 211 last year. This year we offered 3 sessions instead of 4. We offered 1 night session and still had to cancel several classes in the lst and 3rd sessions due to a low turnout of participants. Considering the small classes and more personal attention, almost all the evaluations showed high marks for Instructors and information covered in class. Red Oaks Waterpark started a new program called "River Walk for Health." This class consisted of 19 participants walking at their own pace for 45 minutes around our 990 ft Lazy River. The program ran the same evenings of swim lesson session #3 so mothers with children in swim lessons could exercise at the same time. Participants loved the ability to exercise at their own pace in our heated River. Others said they felt safe with the lifeguards monitoring their laps around if they were going solo. One man who is unable to walk without the assistance of a walker, said he could feel himself growing stronger by the end of the session and said he was able to walk in the water without the walker, experiencing a new kind of freedom. This year Red Oaks hosted its first annual "Dog Days of Summer" event. After the Waterpark closed for the season, we re -opened Sunday, September 1ltn for one day of swimming, furry friends only. Dogs came ready to swim, from pink bikinis to a patriotic flag bathing suit with matching cap. Contests ran throughout the day such as, best wet look and best dressed, to name a few. Owners were happy to buy the Juicy Bones package and receive a cool T-shirt and bandana for their pet. Overall, the event was a great success with many requests for a repeat next year! The Saturday after Labor Day, Waterford Oaks Waterpark was rented by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. They invited the local area Lutheran schools and their families to come out for a fundraiser. Again, the weather was beautiful and a great time was had by all. The following day we offered a Customer Appreciation Day. The pay one price and beautiful summer-like weather made for a great day with nearly 1800 guests. Overall, it was a great summer for both Waterford Oaks and Red Oaks Waterparks. 14-10 ,.Mk, INCOME AND ATTENDANCE COMPARISON WATERFORD OAKS WATERPARK RED OAKS WATERPARK YEAR ATTENDANCE REVENUES EXPENSES YEAR ATTENDANCE REVENUES EXPENSES 1987 68,662 $298,137 265,738 1987 126,040 $596,817 359.984 1988 75,097 $320,426 269.492 1988 116,889 $574,007 455,438 1989 50,482 $272,284 298,206 1989 88,958 $478,274 444,445 1990 55,013 $281,081 318,393 1990 91,106 $504,772 423,366 1991 61,306 $343,325 336,709 1991 106,886 $621,593 522,084 1992 38,223 $268,956 386,194 1992 66,311 $386,818 481,857 1993 46,981 $293,346 347,026 1993 84,906 $536,517 481,388 1994 48,125 $294,404 305,720 1994 69,385 $478,222 502,925 1995 56,693 $375,590 378,616 1995 88,200 $603,409 547,692 *** 1996 66,865 $467,315 503,543 1996 72,556 $496,600 501,884 1997 73,250 $576,341 538,090 1997 59,759 $414,646 505,315 1998 86,661 $756,459 655,243 1998 73,721 $531,175 558,979 1999 90,993 $801,078 697,465 1999 61,975 $465,206 676,821 2000 73,717 $702,691 625,670 2000 43,445 $349,267 576,180 2001 106,680 $937,245 632,376 2001 79,000 $571,854 595,664 ** 2002 93,291 $881,112 935,272 * 2002 82,858 $793,815 1,102,192 2003 81,335 $762,952 864,142 2003 78,687 $740,195 1,054,892 2004 73,052 $718,454 717,085 2004 65,263 $720,617 1,304,011 2005 90,6421 $809, 234 827,139 2005 103132 $1,137, 000.00 1,387,000 1997 - Budget year based on 9 month actual. * New construction - River ride and children's water feature. ** New construction - Pool bottom and splash pool. *** Raft ride and children's water feature.
