The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has notified staff that the deadline to submit
applications to request matching Michigan Natural Resources Trust and Land funds for 2008 is
April 1. A public hearing is also a requirement of the DNR to qualify for funds. Notice of the
hearing was advertised in area newspapers.
The development project staff selected is as follows:
Natural Areas Accessibility Program
Highland Oaks, Lyon Oaks and Rose Oaks County Parks
Proiect Description:
This project encompasses construction of a series of boardwalks, fishing piers, boat launches
and wildlife viewing platforms to promote recreational access to significant natural areas at
Highland Oaks, Lyon Oaks and Rose Oaks County Parks.
The project will include 1,600 feet of boardwalk, 200 feet of floating piers, and three wildlife
viewing platforms to promote current recreational initiatives including trail connectivity,
educational outreach, universal accessibility, wildlife -based recreation, and water recreation
access.
4a-1
(Public Hearing, January 9, 2008)
The preliminary project total is $500,000, with a 44/56 grant match in the amount of $220,000
from the MNRTF and $280,000 from Oakland County Parks and Recreation.
This grant project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the 2007 Oakland County Parks
and Recreation Master Plan. The amenities created through the project will address recreational
needs identified in countywide interest surveys, providing increased opportunities for fishing,
wildlife viewing, educational programming, and trail use in underutilized areas within the county
park system.
Staff will present a proposed land acquisition grant application later in the year for the second
application period.
No questions were asked by the public; therefore, the public hearing was declared closed at

Dollar Column Explanation:
Estimated Proiect Cost is the sum of the current year's Budget columns "Project Cost Estimate" figure, the "Adjusted to Project Cost" figure, and the "Proposed New Projects" figure for the projects still open
(any "Project Balance" funds for projects closed to fixed assets at the end of the prior fiscal year have been added to the contingency).
2007Adiustment is the net of any adjustments made from/to contingency and individual projects in June - September of the prior fiscal year (the current fiscal year's perpetual budget started with figures
as of 5131).
2008 Adiustment is the net of any adjustments made from/to contingency and individual projects during the current fiscal year.
Net Adjustment is the sum of "2007 Adjustment" and "2008 Adjustment" figures.
New Estimated Project Cost is the sum of "Estimated Project Cost", "2007 Adjustment" and "2008 Adjustment" (or "Net Adjustment") figures.
Amount Paid is the cost of the project expensed as of the report date. This amount includes the "Contract(s) Retainer" dollars.
Contract(s) Retainer is the amount of retainage withheld from a contract payment and may be in an interest bearing account set-up via the O.C. Treasurer's office. The amount is not part of the "Project Balance"
calculation because it is already included in the "Amount Paid" figure.
Contract(s) Awd., Pre & Enc. Balance is the sum of the Pre -encumbered and Encumbered dollars for the contracts that have been awarded and for outstanding Requisitions and Purchase Orders.
Proiect Balance is the amount of available dollars remaining on a project that have not been paid or encumbered.
** Pre -Encumbered & Encumbered charges are N/A at this time, figures are based on large contracts.

Miscellaneous information:
• We are currently working with the Huron -Clinton Metropolitan Authority to
identify common commodities and services with the goal of creating shared or
cooperative contracts. This synergy will provide an economy of scale beneficial
to not only the vending community, but also both entities. It promises to attract
better pricing, more favorable terms and conditions, as well as reduce duplication
of effort.

ITEM #10
STRATEGIC MASTER PLAN CITIZEN SURVEY
As a follow up to the 2006 citizen survey, another county -wide survey will be
conducted this spring to test public opinion and support for the Strategic Master Plan.
Questions will focus on how well the park system is meeting community needs
with programs and services. Responses will also help prioritize action strategies that

EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S REPORT
A. Parks Commission Administration Office Improvements: Some minor improvements/renovations of the
administration offices will begin soon, to be completed by late spring.
B. Approval of Payments: As a follow up to Commissioner Kowall's inquiry at the December meeting, staff
determined there is no procedural or policy decision that the Parks Commission requires approval of payments.
Therefore, with the Commission's approval, staff will remove this as an agenda item.
C. Michigan Turfgrass Environmental Stewardship Program: Oakland County Parks staff have been working
on a pilot project with the Michigan Turfgrass Environmental Stewardship Program (MTESP). This project will
allow Groveland Oaks to become the first non -golf course park to obtain certification through their program. The
field work has been completed for seven of the nine site evaluation modules. Currently, Oakland County
Purchasing is registering the MTESP with the county, which will allow them to visit Groveland Oaks to complete
their official site evaluation. Once we comply with their recommendations from the site evaluation, we will receive
MTESP certification. Our goal is to receive certification by July of 2008.
D. MNRTF Grants Update: As requested by the Commission, attached is a copy of the full list of 2007
Acquisition and Development Grants awards through the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund.

Mr. Bill Bullard, Jr.
Oakland County Board of Commissioners
1200 North Telegraph Road
Pontiac, MI 48341-042
Dear Commissioner Bulla , .A
As your representative to the Huron -Clinton Metropolitan Authority, I thought you might
appreciate a very brief summary of 2007 Authority activities as they relate to Oakland
County.
Overall, the Metro Parks remain very popular with southeast Michigan residents and in
sound financial condition with almost 3 million vehicles entering the parks in 2007.
Comparing overall attendance and revenues can be a little misleading, since a lot of the
visitors participate in weather related activities, but in general, visitation was up in 2007
compared to 2006 and total user revenues were also up by approximately $1 million to
$13.7 million.
The Metro Parks have made significant capital expenditures over the previous 5 years
(our planning horizon), and now offer more creative recreational and conservation
education alternatives to the public. However, for the foreseeable future, capital
expenditures will be needed to adequately maintain existing assets and new project
proposals will be heavily scrutinized and less frequent.
As you may know, two of the larger thirteen Metro Parks, Kensington and Indian
Springs, are entirely within Oakland County, as well as the southwest portion of Stony
Creek Metro Park. Kensington Metro Park continues to be the most popular of all Metro
Parks as it offers a diverse set of activities for all visitors, and it's location is conducive
for convenient use. Stony Creek ranks in the top 5 in terms of visitation, while Indian
Springs is of more interest to visitors who are in search of nature walks and more
passive activities. Golf course usage is down slightly at all three Oakland County Metro
Parks, which is also true for all the Metro Parks courses. I understand this may also be
consistent with golf courses throughout southeast Michigan.
A highlight at Kensington Metro Park during 2007 was the opening of the Splash and
Blast Aquatic Play Area, which received 40,000 visitors for the 10 week period after its
inauguration. Kensington Farm Learning Center Restaurant and Grill was also rebuilt
and opened in 2007, and the feel for this popular center is very "Greenfield Village" like.
As always, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra is a popular attraction and drew a record
crowd of 15,000 during its July performance in 2007. For 2008, Kensington also plans
on adding a major bike race in May, as well as a large triathlon in July.

Indian Springs saw the opening of the Underwater Dome at the Educational Discovery
Center, and the water clarity continues to slowly improve. Fish were also introduced into
the pond surrounding the Dome and a new children's Spray Zone opened during 2007
that has become very popular. You may know that the Michigan Natural Resources
Trust Fund has agreed to support the acquisition of an additional 287 acres to the Indian
Springs Park, and hopefully this acquisition will be completed in 2008.
The biggest 2007 news at Stony Creek was the takeover by the HCMA of the full
operation of the golf course following 30 years of concession operation. Additionally,
boat rentals set a record of 15,000 rentals for the season and the Stony Creek mountain
biking trails had over 50,000 users.
We continue to operate the dual pass purchase arrangements between the Oakland
County Parks and the Metro Parks, which has been very popular. We look forward to
continuing to find ways to cooperate with the Oakland County Park and Recreation
system. As climbing gas prices and an overall weak economy are expected to continue
into 2008, the Metro Parks continues to provide citizens with a very high quality
recreation environment.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me
directly. Please accept my warmest wishes for a healthy and prosperous new year.
Sincerely,
Peter S. Walters
Group Vice President

Summary and Recommendations:
Approximately 1,750 lbs. of meat were donated to the food banks in conjunction with the Hunters Against Hunger
Program.
Park staff will be reviewing the deer management program and data with the natural resource staff to evaluate the
program and give recommendations for future deer management issues and measures.
Staff is recommending four shotgun dates at Independence Oaks and three shotgun dates at Addison Oaks and two
muzzleloader dates for both parks for the 2008 program. Recommended dates at Addison Oaks are November 18,
20 and 25 for shotgun; December 9 and 11 for muzzleloader. At Independence Oaks, the recommended dates are
November 17, 19, 24 and 26 for shotgun; December 8 and 10 for muzzleloader.
We have several habitat enclosures to monitor habitat damage at both Independence Oaks and Addison Oaks due to
deer populations. Staff will be installing additional enclosures at other park locations (Rose Oaks and Orion Oaks) to
monitor habitat damage.
We will be conducting an aerial survey in 2008 as soon as the weather and snow conditions are adequate. Brittany
Bird will be conducting the aerial survey and deer census.

Patrol Hours
The Oakland County Sheriff's Office Park Deputies patrolled a total of
8,439 hours within the park system in 2007. Some patrols did not start
until mid June. This, coupled with the cancellation of some of the
midnight patrols at Addison Oaks, resulted in a decrease of 618 total
patrol hours from 2006 (a 7% decrease).
With the addition of the new Catalpa Oaks, our responsibilities changed.
An individual patrol unit was established in order to accommodate only
the south -end county parks of Catalpa Oaks, Lyon Oaks, and Red Oaks.
Patrol duties were then split between these south -end parks.
General patrols scheduled in the other parks were conducted the same
as prior years, this included the new Highland Oaks. The water parks
received extra patrol due to the high temperatures and record crowds. It
is recommended that the south -end patrol be used again next year to
provide adequate patrols to the parks in the southern portion of the
county. Staffing for next year will be constantly evaluated and deputies
will be scheduled according to the needs of the parks.
Reports / Arrests / Tickets
Deputies wrote 205 reports ranging from medical assists to assaults and
made 37 arrests. Park Deputies issued 731 tickets ranging from parking
without a pass (more than half of all tickets issued) to impeding traffic and
speeding in the park. Deputies issued 47 warning tickets.
Trusty Work Program
The Trusty Work Program completed 6,484 hours which was a decrease
of approximately 16% from 2006. The decrease was due to reduced
demand during the year. Special projects were completed such as the
fieldstone on the front of the office at Springfield Oaks, the Memorial
Garden at Independence Oaks, and the restoration of the oak flooring at
Addison Oaks.

Police Mountain Bike Patrols
The bicycle patrols worked 198 hours and were primarily used at the
Oakland County Fair, Groveland Oaks, and Addison Oaks. The bicycle
patrols are a great way of meeting and greeting the patrons of the park
and I would like to see these numbers increase in the years to come.
This method of patrol puts the deputy face-to-face with the public and the
citizens respond well to this.
Mounted Unit
The Mounted Unit Deputies patrolled 1,603 hours in the county parks.
This patrol included the fireworks events at Addison Oaks and Groveland
Oaks and includes general park patrol. The 2007 Mounted Unit hours
decreased from the 2006 Mounted Unit total by 322 hours (17%) due to
cancellation of deputies at the request of Park Staff. This type of patrol is
received very well by the patrons of the parks. It is another way of
meeting and greeting the citizens and receives positive responses. I
would like to increase this type of patrol next year.
Special Events
Special events that were held were a great success. The Oakland
County Fair had record attendance with very few problems. Deputy
scheduling will need to be increased for next year to cover/patrol the
areas where cash is handled. For instance, a deputy should be positioned
at the entrance gate.
The fireworks events were scheduled according to the projected
attendance and turned out very well. There were no major problems at
any of the special events.
The Pow Wow was scheduled with a projected estimate of 10,000
spectators each day. When it was discerned that the attendance was
going to be much lower, deputies were sent home and/or cancelled.

Training
While training hours for 2007 totaled 251, a substantial increase in
training for 2008 is anticipated. Deputies will each receive 8 hours
training on the new Net RMS Report Writing System, and they will
receive re -certification training in CPR, First Aid, and Blood Born
Pathogens. Deputies will also receive training on the new radio system.
The Oakland County Sheriffs Office Park Deputies look forward to the
2008 year. Our mission is to continue to provide outstanding public
relations with the park patrons while maintaining safe and secure parks
for the citizens of Oakland County.
Respectfully Submitted,
Sergeant Kelly Sexton
