Maintenance Management Plan
The Maintenance Management Plan development process began in January, 2009
by identifying all maintenance tasks at each park, their purpose and cost, to create safe,
clean and well maintained parks. The process included a time and motion assessment to
verify the work being performed was being completed at the appropriate project level.
Staff established a new set of park maintenance standards based on a proactive
approach, versus a reactive approach, and identified how tasks are to be maintained for
each asset in the park. The plan identifies which staff position (full-time or part-time) would
best complete each task and how often the task would be scheduled.
Tasks have been tied to the new CAMS program (Collaborative Asset Management
System) and verified with staff at each park. Staff's goal is to achieve an 80% level of
productivity from staff, and to operate in the most efficient manner possible. Training is key
for staff this spring to prepare for implementing the plan. Portions of the plan were
implemented this past year at the golf courses, which created a $300,000 savings at Lyon
Oaks. The Maintenance Management Plan follows the National Recreation and Park
Association accreditation requirements.
This plan ties into Strategic Plan 8.1.2.2 which states "develop an asset management
plan for infrastructure maintenance and improvements..." Staff is requesting commission
approval of this plan. The complete plan is available electronically on our website at:
httr)://www.destinationoakland.com/Pages/ParksRecreationCommission.asi)x.

Item #7d
Recreation Proqram Business Plan
As identified in the Strategic Plan 1.2.3.1 staff's goal is to "develop each core
program to the highest level possible that will provide residents with a quality
experience that will last a lifetime."
As a result, staff has developed the Recreation Program Business Plan which
places a high priority on programming to energize our facilities. Terry Fields, Chief -
Recreation Programs and Services, is requesting approval of this plan for use by
Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission staff.
The complete plan is available electronically on our website at

Recreation Program Business Plan
The Oakland County Parks Program Business Plan was developed to provide the key
leadership and program staff a recreation program business plan model to manage towards
in the future. This program business plan will set into motion a program philosophy, an
approach to the development of recreation programs that are outcome based and will
maximize the value of the parks and recreation facilities the park system owns and operates
in the most cost effective and efficient manner. The program business plan outlines the new
organizational structure and standards to manage program services by in the future. The
business plan establishes the core programs the County will provide in 2010 and will need to
be updated on a yearly basis as part of the annual budget process to keep staff focused on
increasing participation at various park and recreation sites and increase operating revenues
to offset tax dollar support for these facilities. Most importantly, the Program Business Plan
will provide consistency on how programs are delivered across the system and county.
To create and implement programs and activities which promote and increase the use and
the public value of Oakland County Parks
• To develop a comprehensive Program Business Plan for the revenue driven
attractions the park system owns and operates focusing on the waterparks, golf
courses and campgrounds to position and maintain these attractions as sustainable
as possible
• Create a year round program for each individual park in the Oakland County Parks
system to build awareness and use of the park for people of all ages
• Develop an extensive outreach program to promote the park system and to
motivate Oakland County residents to visit their parks and recreation facilities
The core program areas for this Program Business Plan were identified using a set of criteria
developed by PROS Consulting with approval from Oakland County Parks and Recreation
staff. The criteria used to establish the core program services included the following:
• Does this program align with Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission's
Vision and Mission?
• Does the program meet at least one of the strategic directions of the Recreation
Program and Services Division?
• Does the program require full time staff or approved contractors that are
responsible for the execution of the program?
• Does the program have a strong social value that is part of a community solution
with an identified strategic direction to help contribute to solving the community
issue?
1 pros
7d-3 consulting
Oakland County Paris and Recreation Commission
• Does the program have strong economic appeal and does it create a good return on
investment for the Oakland County Parks to invest in the service?
• Does the program have high partnering capability to enhance promotional
opportunities or to offset operational costs at Oakland County Parks attractions?
• Does the program currently meet or exceed the capacity performance measures
developed by staff?
• Is the program in growth or mature stage of its lifecycle and has proven to have long
term appeal to resident and users of the system?
The following programs were considered to be the core services for the Park System:
• Aquatics Programs
• Golf Programs
• Adaptive Recreation Programs
• Volunteer Services
• Nature Interpretation/Education Programs
• Special Events
• Mobile Recreation and Outreach
• Outdoor Adventure Programs
• Health and Fitness Programs
After determination of the core program areas, meetings and discussions over the past year
between staff and the consulting team to identify the key issues that need to be addressed
in each core recreation area were identified.
The following overview summarizes the vital issues identified during those discussions as
the directional focus for each core program area in 2010 and 2011.

Red Oaks Golf Course & Waterford Oaks Park
2010 Pavinq Proiects
As previously reported last fall, staff had proceeded to rebid the Golf Course Entrance Drive Relocation along with the Waterford Oaks
Entrance Drive and Playground Parking Lot Asphalt Repairs with the assistance of Oakland County's Facilities Maintenance Engineering
Department. The Red Oaks project will be subject to obtaining the proper easements/agreements from the Southeastern Oakland County
Resource Recovery Authority (SOCRRA). The Waterford Entrance Drive repair was budgeted for FY2010, however due to the construction
activities for the universally accessible playground and parking lot expansion, over 50% of the existing parking lot required repair. Therefore,
staff increased the original scope for pavement repair to include the existing playground parking lot.
With review of the extent of repairs by Facilities Maintenance Engineering department, they suggested including an alternate for the
reclamation of existing asphalt and base materials for the repair of the playground parking lot. This reclamation is called Full Depth
Reclamation and is consistent with our Green Initiative Strategies for recycling and reuse.
Staff proceeded with completing the necessary construction documents with the following base bids:
• Base Bid #1
Waterford Oaks Playground Parking Lot Repair
• Alternate 1
Full Depth Reclamation (Substitute for Base Bid #1)
• Base Bid #2
Waterford Oaks Entrance Asphalt Repair
• Base Bid #3
Waterford Oaks Courtside Drive Asphalt Repair
• Base Bid #4

Staff received (7) bids on February 17, 2010. Staff and Purchasing are reviewing the bids based on prior experience,
capability/qualifications, references, business organization, and price and will make a recommendation at the meeting.

Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission desired to develop a Maintenance Management Plan
to reduce operational costs, improve maintenance consistency across the 13 regional parks and 5 golf
courses, and support managing assets to their highest level of productivity. The Parks Commission hired
PROS Consulting to assist staff in developing the Maintenance Management Plan. PROS provided the
Maintenance Management Framework and worked closely with staff in developing and writing the plan.
The Maintenance Management Plan consisted of the following elements:
• Review of current assets and lifecycle to determine replacement schedule.
• Review of current operational maintenance standards for all parks and golf courses for each
maintenance task completed, frequency, and results.
• Documentation of existing inventory in each park and golf course.
• Development of desired maintenance standards for each asset maintained to meet the
outcomes desired.
• Development of cost of service for each task managed and how to use this information to
reduce costs to obtain more consistent maintenance standards and better utilization of staff and
equipment.
• Identify the highest and best use of every job class as it applies to each maintenance task.
• Tie the Maintenance Management Plan to the newly acquired Collaborate Asset Management
System (CAMS) to guide weekly work orders for staff to maintain the parks and golf courses.
The Maintenance Management Plan is organized into the following:
• Grounds Maintenance Levels, Definition and Characteristics
• Asset Maintenance Tasks Name, Task Type, Task Quantity/Task Unit and Frequency
• Special Maintenance Items
• Maintenance Costs Examples
• Conclusion
• Appendices, Actual Hours, Maintenance Standards, and Man Hour Projections. Individual
Maintenance Plans for a golf course, campground, park and waterpark
Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission has a very talented group of Chiefs, Supervisors, and
Parks staff working to achieve a great park and recreation system. Through the course of developing this
maintenance management plan, they have learned how to address managing maintenance in a more
sustainable manner. They have learned how to use appropriate staff for appropriate maintenance tasks,
and they have learned how to calculate their costs to minimize cost to achieve the same level of
maintenance or higher as in the past, but in a more cost effective manner. They have recognized that
their costs have been higher than what they expected and have supported wholeheartedly the mindset
change to manage differently in order to achieve a greater level of sustainability with less staff.
In the past, staff had not established written standards to maintain assets, tasks, frequency or costs on a
consistent basis. Administrative cost were not broken out for managing staff, correctional workers,
volunteers, meetings, travel time and work planning. With this new plan, the systems are in place to
know these costs.
In the past, staff managed in more of a reactive manner than a proactive manner, and they have realized
the value to manage in a more systemized forward -thinking process. The Maintenance Management
Plan will help the Parks and Recreation Commission establish operational costs associated with acquiring
new properties so that revenues are available to ensure it will not put undue stress on the financial
system.
Ongoing maintenance staff training will need to be made a part of their yearly schedules so new staff,
part-time staff, and seasonal staff conform to the sustainability approach to managing parks and golf
courses.
The Key Recommendations for developing this Maintenance Management Plan are as follows:
• Adopt the maintenance standards and frequency of task for each asset in the system. in the plan
it appears that level 1 and 2 are the same standards; they are very close, but the key to the
difference between level 1 and level 2 is the frequency of how often each task is performed. in
level 1, tasks are done at a much higher level and mainly targeted towards park entrances, golf
courses, game fields, hospitality spaces, waterparks and administrative buildings. Level 2
maintenance standards are targeted more to parks in general, practice fields, trails, and
campgrounds.
• Continue to monitor costs and explore alternative ways of reducing costs and funding
maintenance for each park and golf course.
• Develop realistic maintenance goals and objectives to be included in each employee work plan
that can serve as the baseline for maintenance performance
• Implement the CAMS program in all aspects of park and recreation assets.
• All new parks and amenities added to the system need to have maintenance costs outlined in
advance prior to acquisition and development.
• Partnership agreements need to be worked out in advance to pay for the direct costs that
special events cause to routine maintenance; these are to be reimbursed back to the park's
operational budget.
• Work on matrix development which clarifies responsibilities and costs between Oakland County
Parks and Recreation and Oak Management
• Manage and budget for life -cycle improvements to existing assets to keep them functioning well
for community use.
• Establish a goal of 5% of total asset value of the parks and recreation system for operational and
capital dollars available to maintain existing assets each year.
• Develop a natural resource management plan for sensitive areas in the parks.
• Develop a "green management approach" to managing parks and golf courses to be as
environmentally friendly as possible.
• Continue to invest in staff training to a more sustainable maintenance division.
• Develop work plans for staff from the CAMS program and monitor costs to deliver on the
efficiencies to be gained by the program.
• Continue to incorporate low-cost maintenance improvements such as signage, interpretive
signage, and invasive species management as part of staff work plans.
• Track and measure performance by staff, park, golf course, campground, and attraction on
meeting maintenance standards and how users feel about the maintenance levels being
provided.
• Incorporate earned income opportunities to offset maintenance operational costs where
appropriate.
Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission has developed this Maintenance Management Plan
to operate in a more businesslike and sustainable manner. Their focus is to move from an effort -based
culture to an outcome -based culture for staff to operate the maintenance and operations of the system
for the future. The Plan has been put together with a lot of time and effort by staff who now
understand how to implement this plan. The results should be phenomenal, if managed appropriately as
it applies to cost containment and in meeting desired maintenance standards. The goal is to "inspect
what you expect," track results, and make adjustments accordingly. This will take monitoring by key
managers and the Executive Officer. This document is dynamic in nature, and changes will need to occur
or adjustments made as results are forthcoming. All systems are in place to achieve the goals and
objectives as outlined. The Executive Officer, key management staff, and the maintenance team are
committed to seeing it work and are completely capable of implementing the plan as outlined. Annual
review of results by staff should be presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission with
performance measures to demonstrate the value of following this plan. It is time to move from planning
to implementation; let the results be measured!
Item #7g
Oakland Countv Market Preliminary Business Plan
Staff will present a preliminary business plan for Oakland County Parks and
Recreation Commission's management and operation of the Oakland County Market. A
PDF of the plan will be e-mailed to Commissioners prior to the meeting, and a brief
PowerPoint presentation will be made at the meeting.
The preliminary business plan consists of historical information about The
Market, current operations and management, and a phased approach to OCPRC's
management of the site including marketing, programming, operations and maintenance,
design, and master planning.
For Commissioners who prefer a hard -copy of the plan, please contact Sue Kici
(248.858.4603). Sue will prepare the hard copies and distribute at the meeting.

Executive Officer's Report
1. Due to most of the commission meetings occurring the first Wednesday of the month,
it has been difficult for staff to assemble a timely and accurate activity report.
Therefore, the report will be delayed approximately one month. If there are significant
items to report, they will be provided in the Executive Officer's Report.
2. The following MRPA Awards were presented to the Oakland County Parks and
Recreation Commission and staff at the 2010 MRPA Annual Conference in February:
2010 MRPA Innovative Park Resource Award for new groundwater and storm
water management system at Waterford Oaks
• 2010 Park Resources Leadership Award, awarded posthumously to Mike
Willhite who passed away in October, 2009, for his design of the custom
attachment for the mini excavator which minimized impact on the wetlands
during boardwalk construction
• 2010 Young Professional for Therapeutic Recreation Award, to part-time
Adaptive Recreation Employee Holly Warnos
3. The following awards will be presented to OCPRC and staff on March 10, 2010 at the
Community Service Awards Program in East Lansing:
• 2010 Community Service Award to Jerry Sarasin, Adaptive Recreation
volunteer
2010 Community Service Award to the Retired Engineers Assistance Program
for conducting an energy audit at Waterford Oaks in conjunction with OCP
Green Initiatives Team
4. OCPRC - Red Oaks Waterpark received the 2009 "4 The Best" Summer Recreation
Swimming Pool Award from Channel 4 - WDIV Detroit.
5. Following is the link to the web page which contains ordering instructions as well as
previews of the photos staff will make available to the State Representatives and
Senators. There are 2-3 photos of each park available.
httr)://www.destinationoakland.com/Paaes/ParksRecreationChooseaPhoto.aspx
6. The contract for Aerial and Topographical Surveys, which was approved at the 2/3/10
commission meeting, has been placed on hold. Staff will reevaluate the need for the
contract within the next year and determine if it is necessary.
7. 2010 Prescribed Burn Forecast: This spring we plan to burn a total of 187 acres at
six parks (Addison, Highland, Groveland, Rose, Orion, Independence). Total burn
budget for 2010 is $56K. Between 2007-2009 OCPR staff has coordinated and
facilitated the contracted burning of 674 acres at an average cost of $139/ acre.
$500-$600/ acre is the National Benchmarking standard for natural resource
management expenditure on parklands (per Pros Consulting).
8e-1
Prescribed burn units are selected based on baseline natural community inventory
work completed by MNFI and OCPR Natural Resources staff (2004 - present). Units
consist of park areas containing remnant native plant species which indicate a high
propensity for successful ecological restoration results. Prescribed burns improve soil
and growing conditions for the remnant native seed bank, combat invasive species,
and improve wildlife habitat over time.
8. The Commission Handbook has been completed and will be available at all meetings.
9. Carls Foundation Grant Awarded for Upper Bushman: On February 11, 2010 the
Carls Foundation awarded a grant to Ducks Unlimited to assist in the acquisition of
the Upper Bushman property. The $200,000 grant to Ducks Unlimited will provide a
$105,000 cash donation to Oakland County Parks and Recreation for the acquisition
of the Upper Bushman property, along with the donation of a 3-acre parcel of land
adjacent to the property with road access to Sashabaw. This property will be ideal for
gaining access to the Upper Bushman parcel for maintenance and stewardship of the
wetland complex. Staff is working with Ducks Unlimited to draft a funding agreement
that will be presented to the Commission for approval in May.
10. Waterford Oaks Accessible Playground Update: The dedication and grand opening
for the Accessible Playground at Waterford Oaks has been moved to July 7. This will
allow staff adequate time to ensure that all signage is installed at the site. Rowe, Inc.,
the design contractor for the playground, will be donating their time and skills to
design signage for the playground, including informational signage about the
playground, including grants and sponsors, as well as safety and directional signage.
Staff is also working on a Playground Naming Contest for the new playground. The
goal is to market the playground, while engaging children 12 and under to submit
creative ideas for a name that depicts the unique theme of the playground —
Michigan's natural landscape. Entries are due on March 15`", and a winner will be
announced shortly thereafter. The winner will receive a free week at an Oakland
County Parks and Recreation Day Camp of their choosing. The winner's family will
also receive a 2010 annual vehicle entry permit, and will be invited to the grand
opening to be recognized. If any Commissioners would like to participate in the
selection committee process for choosing a name for the playground, please contact
Melissa Prowse (248-858-4630).
11. Special Parks District Forum will be held June 28-30 in Charleston, SC. Registration
begins in March. More information will follow as it becomes available.

Deer Management Update
A total of eight, volunteer -based, managed hunts took place at Addison and
Independence Oaks (4 hunts each) during the 2009 MDNRE muzzleloader season.
Eighteen deer (16 does; 2 button bucks) were harvested at Independence Oaks; 5
deer (3 does; 2 button bucks) at Addison Oaks. A total of 1867lbs of venison were
donated to local soup kitchens through the Michigan Sportsmen Against Hunger
Program. Total deer harvest and food donation levels were reduced due to the fact that
no shotgun hunts were conducted in 2009 in response to concerns raised by neighbors
bordering Independence Oaks. OCPR hosted a public information session to address
these concerns in conjunction with the MDNRE on Dec. 3; approximately 25 people were
in attendance with an equal number of program supporters and detractors represented.
Open archery hunt activities occurred October 1 - January 1 at Addison (east unit)
Highland, Orion, and Lyon Oaks. Harvest summary cards submitted voluntarily by
archers utilizing Lyon Oaks and word-of-mouth reports at the remaining parks indicate
that archery harvest numbers are on a slightly downward trend throughout the
system. The state-wide MDNRE bait ban may be a factor contributing to this trend.
The 2010 Oakland County Parks Aerial Deer Survey was conducted on February 11
during 5-8" snow -cover conditions and over 4.5 hours of flight time. A total of eight
Oakland County parks were surveyed (see attached survey results). In addition,
Genesee County Parks, and the communities of Waterford, Troy, and Rochester,
partnered with OCPR to have key parcels within their jurisdictions surveyed.
Although the total number of deer observed at Addison, Groveland, Highland, and
Lyon increased slightly between 2009-2010; deer densities remained statistically
constant at these properties as well as at Independence and Waterford Oaks. Deer
densities increased significantly between 2009 and 2010 at Orion Oaks, Rose Oaks,
and the Upper Bushman Property. Statistically -significant increases in deer
densities were also observed within the majority of parcels surveyed across all other
(non -hunting) jurisdictions (chi-square test of goodness -of -fit; d.f. = 1, X2= 3.84,p<
.05).
MDNRE bait ban restrictions may be contributing to the system -wide trend for increased
number of deer observed. Staff will be proposing open archery as a herd management
tool for the Upper Bushman property beginning in fall 2010. In addition, a Special
Land Use Request for Open Archery at Rose Oaks has been approved by the Rose
Township Planning Commission and will be reviewed by the Rose Township Board
of Trustees for final decision on March 10, 2010.
