budget recommendation for the 2007 CIP budget. Funds budgeted in the 2006 CIP include a portion
of the equestrian center construction, contingent upon the revision of the township's ordinance.

possible reduction in design fees has been determined.

information for them, if available. Executive Officer Stencil noted that this informationwill be included

pinpointing areas of concern identified by Oakland County citizens.

Dear Sheriff Bouchard:

RE: Emergency Landing Sites and Training Site at County Parks
The Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission is pleased to inform you that at
its April 5, 2006, meeting it approved the use of emergency helicopter landing sites at
the Oakland County Parks identified in Attachment "A". The actual landing sites are
identified on maps included with Attachment "B". In some instances alternative winter
sites are also identified.
These sites were identified through a collaborative effort between your helicopter pilots
and Commission staff. In accordance with the understanding reached between your
pilots and Commission staff, these sites will only be used in emergency situations when
emergency assistance is requested from your department. It is understood by your
pilots that some of these sites are located in areas used by park patrons and therefore
safety is of the utmost importance.
The sites were determined based upon proximity to main roads as well as suitability for
landing rotary winged aircraft. In situations where alternative winter sites were
established the Commission will endeavor to maintain access to these sites during
winter conditions both for land based transportation and helicopter access.
Additionally, a training location was identified at Addison Oaks County Park. This
location can be used by your air unit to practice landings and team insertions. This site
can only be used upon prior notice to, and approval of, Commission staff. In an
agreement reached with members of your command staff, your office will provide
funding to install trail closure and access cutoff barriers/signs to be used when training
occurs.
The Commission reserves the right to change the location of the emergency sites as the
needs of the Commission require, and to establish operational guidelines for the sites. If
it is necessary to change the location of any of the sites, the Commission will notify your
office in advance. As with the canine training facility, in order for the Commission to
urmission is to provide recreational, leisure and learning experiences that enhance quality of life.

reserves the right to withdraw its permission to use these sites.
The Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission and its staff are pleased to
extend their assistance to this very worthwhile project. The Commission and its staff
look forward to working closely with you and your department personnel to make this a
viable and productive endeavor.

This letter is to confirm the commitment of the 4-H Fair Board to the proposed and
approved 2006 CIP projects at Springfield Oaks Activity Center. As we have proved in
the past few years we are able with volunteers, in -kind sponsors and Pair Board members
to greatly reduce the "out of pocket" cost of projects at Springfield Oaks.
This past year, we added two new barns and an addition to another building at a cost
savings of$160,000.00 to the parks system. Tn past years, the poultry barn and activity
pavilion were built with a great savings to the parks. Also paving, roadway surd electrical
upgrades plus grounds drainage have also taken place at little or no cost to the Parks and
Recreation Commission. In all, the Fein Board has made over $750,000.00 of
improvemetrts since 1995.
The proposed and approved CIF projects for 2006 are very important to the future of
Springfcld Oaks and as the second most attended park in the county system (168,000 in
2005) tho septic system, and new bathrooms are long over due.
We feel very confident that along with the monetary contribution listed on fie budget we
can look forward to at least another $200.000.00 of cost savings on 2006 CHI projects.
sinceroly,

ITEM #13
Springfield Oaks — 4-H Facilities
Zoning Update / Equestrian Facility Design
Currently the Charter Township of Springfield's Planning Commission is revising
the RC — Resource Conservation and PL — Public Lands Districts of their Zoning
Ordinance. Springfield Oaks is currently zoned RC —Resource Conservation District
which does not allow for the indoor storage of recreational vehicles or public event
camping. According to the approved Springfield Oaks Activity Center Master plan, the
indoor storage of RV's is a critical revenue source for the establishment of the proposed
Equestrian Center, therefore the adoption of a revised ordinance to include the RV
Storage and Event Camping is critical to the operation of the existing grounds and the
proposed Equestrian Center.
Staff and 4-H attended the planning commission meeting on March 2, 2006,
regarding this revision. The planning commission is considering to amend their zoning
ordinance to include the above mentioned uses as well as equestrian trails and other
outdoor recreational opportunities, under the proposed PR - Parks & Recreation District.
Since the approved 2006 CIP budget included a portion of the equestrian center
construction, contingent on the revision of the Springfield Township's Zoning ordinance
and in lieu of the potential direction the Springfield Township Planning Commission may
proceed, Staff would like to begin the design of the proposed Equestrian Center to
establish an accurate budget recommendation for the 2007 CIP Budget. This design
would require a $95,000 transfer from the 2006 CIP Contingency.

RENTAL RATE REDUCTION WHILE UNDE CONSTRUCTION
WHITE LAKE OAKS
The Parks Commission, at its meeting of November 10, 2004, approved a rental
and utility rate reduction (see attached) for Oak Management at White Lake Oaks. Staff
determined that, while construction of the banquet and clubhouse facility was in process,
the rental rate would be reduced to 0% and the utility rate of 0% would be extended until
the completion of the project.
Staff is requesting official Commission approval of these reductions.

ITEM 917
OAK MANAGEMENT CONTRACT ADJUSTMENT
Staff had requested Oak Management terminate scheduling events at the
White Lake Oaks banquet facility starting in October 2004, in preparation for the
demolition that was scheduled to begin this fall. The new construction schedule
identified that we are now looking at demolition after the first of the year. In light
of that change, we have requested Oak Management continue scheduling events
through December.
Oak Management will be offering discounts to their current banquet rates
as an incentive to schedule at such a late date. Consequently, staff is
recommending that our contract's current rental rate of ten percent (10%) be
reduced to five percent (5%), and the current utility rate of twenty-five percent
(25%) be reduced to zero percent (0%).
This rate reduction will be implemented, if approved by the Commission,
from October through December. Staff will re-evaluate after that time.

SPRINGFIELD OAKS ACTIVITY CENTER
WINDOW REPLACEMENT
The windows at the Springfield Oaks Activity Center are the original windows
installed in 1972. These windows are single pane and very energy inefficient. Staff
prepared specifications to replace the windows with either a vinyl or wood metal clad,
double paned with low e- glass.
It was determined that to replace the window in the same design that presently
exists would prove very costly. A design that will still keep a similar feeling but allows
for combining a larger grouping of windows and using inserts for divisions, proves more
cost effective. The project was bid with as solid vinyl or metal clad wood.
Bids were received from the following venders: Windowcraft of Wixom, HA
Smith of Farmington Hills and Oxbow of White Lake.
Staff is still in the process of reviewing these bids and will be making a
recommendation at the commission meeting. There is $30,000 identified in the approved
2006 building and grounds maintenance budget.

The Springfield Oaks project was based on the master plan for Springfield Oaks
designed by Raymond Hearn Golf Design and construction plans from Albanese and
Lutzke Golf Architects.
The Glen Oaks plan was based on construction drawings and specifications from
Albanese and Lutzke Architects.
Our original budget figure for Springfield Oaks of $240,000 was based on an
estimate we received from Raymond Hearns Golf Architect. The project was to be
budgeted in the grounds maintenance budget in a 2-year time period.
With the amount for Springfield Oaks coming in well over the estimated budget,
staff recommends we reevaluate our plans and scale down the project at Springfield Oaks
to just installing new sand and drainage in the existing traps and construct only two
crucial new traps.
For Glen Oaks, staff recommends the Commission award the bid to LaFontaine
for $93,345 plus a 10% contingency of $9,334.50 for a total of $102,679.50.
Funds for Glen Oaks will be budgeted in our grounds maintenance budgets for

Subject: Parks Sirens
Brandon,
All invoices for the tornado sirens that were placed in the six county parks (Addison, Orion, Independence, White
Lake, Lyon and Rose) have been received. Under the Homeland Security Grant proposal we estimated the costs
to be $108,000 (Parks to pay 25% or $27,000 and the grant paying 75% or 81,000). Actual costs came in slightly
below the estimate. They are as follows:
6 sirens (hardware) Federal Signal $12,705.90 x 6 = $76,235.40
6 sirens (installation) West Shore $ 4,600.00 X 6 = $27,600
TOTAL COST = $103,835.40
This results in a cost -share breakdown of:
Parks 25% = $25,958.85
Grant 75% = $77,876.55
believe each park account was initially charged $4,500, so that number may need to be adjusted by the
appropriate person.
Hope this is helpful. Tracey

Much Has Been Accomplished
Over the past five years, the cities, counties,
neighborhoods and community groups of southeastern
Michigan have come together in unprecedented ways
to create a network of greenways serving local areas
as well as the region.These non -motorized routes are
linking neighborhoods to schools, communities to cultural
centers, and people to people. The benefits include
new opportunities for recreation, fitness, economic
development and neighborhood enhancement. And, in
this relatively short time, the benefits are being realized.
Green spaces and wildlife areas are being preserved.
Businesses are opening up along these corridors. Doctors
have moved their clinics to be adjacent to greenways,
contributing to their wellness programs. Communities
are planning together and people are out on the trails —
clamoring for more.
The Next Step
What's next for Oakland County's greenways and trails
system? Join us on May 22 and find out! We need YOU to
help plan for the future of the emerging the countywide
;reenways system. Each municipality in Oakland County
will have an opportunity to identify those greenways that
you know about, those that are designed and waiting
to be constructed, those that are in the planning stages,
and those that are on your wish list. By combining the
information, a true countywide picture of what has been
done, what is being done, and what will be done, will
unfold.
Your Participation Is Important!
The Process
The process involves three steps:
I . First, prior to May 22 date, a greenways specialist,
will consult with the appropriate county
departments (planning, parks and recreation
and others) looking at the greenways picture
throughout the county.
2. The greenways specialist and county
representatives will then communicate with
each municipality about current and planned
greenways. They will be asking for information
about greenways that have been constructed
in each municipality, including locations, length,
physical characteristics, and significant amenities;
greenways that may be planned, but have not yet
been constructed; and greenways that have been
identified as priorities, but not yet described in a
written plan.
Then the greenway specialist and the planning
department will assemble the information from
each municipality and develop a preliminary
greenways map of the entire county, outlining
completed, planned and priority greenways
projects.
On May 22 date, Oakland County will host a public workshop and present the countywide
trail and greenway concept gleaned from the information gathered from each municipality.
Public officials and citizens will have an opportunity to verify the information that is assembled,
to identify missing links, and, working with the appropriate county departments, develop a
composite greenways map for the county. Those in attendance will also be able to comment
on items and issues of importance, areas or opportunities of particular interest, and projects
that merit immediate attention.
Upon completion of the workshops, the final version of the countywide greenways map,
along with a list of comments and suggestions, will be posted on a Web site for further public
and agency review. Written copies will also be delivered to representatives of each of the
municipalities. Upon completion of the process there will be a countywide greenways plan,
with every municipality in Oakland County participating.
So join us, on May 22, 7:00 p.m., at Southfield Public Library, and help create a trails and
greenways legacy for Oakland County. See you there!!

NEIGHBOR NOTIFICATION LETTER — Prescribed Burn
To our Lyon Oaks neighbor,
I am writing to let you know our plans to conduct a prescribed ecological burn within the
next several weeks at Lyon Oaks County Park. This burn will be carefully controlled by
trained personnel. David Borneman, L.L.0 will conduct the burn. David has 17 years of
professional experience conducting prescribed ecological burns.
"Why burn?" Fire used to be a regular and frequent component of our landscape here
in southern Michigan. Many of our local ecosystems such as prairies, dry oak -hickory
woodlands, and certain wetlands burned frequently. The fire stimulated many of the plant
species to grow more vigorously, and discouraged others that were not adapted to fire's
heat.
Today, many non-native, invasive plant species have invaded natural fire -adapted
ecosystems, decreasing the diversity of native plants and animals. By bringing fire back
to a site, we can begin to give the competitive advantage back to the native species and
restore the site to its former ecological health.
The prescribed burn is safe. The burn is done with the cooperation and approval of
the local fire department, which has issued a permit for this burn. David has outlined the
weather conditions, personnel, equipment, and other parameters needed for the burn to be
conducted safely. Prior to burning, he creates "burn breaks" around the area to be burned
to help control the fire. The burn is done in a slow and deliberate manner, with safety
equipment on hand to monitor and control its spread. The burn will be conducted in such a
manner as to minimize the amount of smoke produced, and to direct any smoke away from
smoke -sensitive areas as much as possible. Because the burn is so weather -dependent, it
is impossible to predict exactly when it will occur, though it is likely to occur between noon
and 7 p.m.
If you have any concerns or questions, you can contact me at 248-858-4624 or Tim Nowicki
— Park Naturalist at 248-625-6473. If you have any special needs that require you to be
Pecky D. Lewis,Jr. notified by phone on the day of the burn or specific questions about prescribed burning, you
Chairman can contact David at either davidborneman(a�yahoo.com or (734) 645-8476.
