ITEM #8D
RCOC/JOSLYN ROAD SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS REQUEST
ORION OAKS
Staff has been contacted by the Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC)
Commissioner Eric Wilson and Deputy Managing Director Dennis Kolar regarding their
proposal for safety improvements on Joslyn Road at Orion Oaks' Lake Sixteen boat
launch and fishing site. The existing parking lot, along with parking lots on Baldwin and
Clarkston roads were approved by Orion Township administratively in the late 1980's,
providing at the time much -needed and safe parking for park patrons (previously parked
on road shoulders).
The RCOC has identified this section of roadway needing safety improvements,
including an acceleration and deceleration lane as well as a northbound passing lane.
RCOC proposes to provide preliminary and construction engineering, project
bidding and management valued at $85,000. The preliminary conservative cost
estimate for the Parks' portion would be approximately $350,000. If we were building
that parking lot today, we would have to go through site plan review and would be
mandated to make these road improvements all at our cost.
Orion Township officials and the RCOC are hoping to have these improvements
completed by July 1, 2012 in preparation for the additional high volume of traffic
expected for the 2012 U.S. Senior Open being hosted by the Indianwood Golf and
Country Club.
The RCOC has been a long-standing partner with Oakland County Parks and
Recreation.
Mf
O They have and continue to provide:
o Gravel road and parking lot grading and chloriding for 11 of the 13
county parks. The price for this service has remained $30,000 since
the early 1990's.
o Direction signage for the parks on county roadways
o Equipment sharing
o Purchase of road sand and salt at their bulk prices
o Staff Commercial Drivers License training
C Staff is also working with the RCOC for the permit use of uncertified
roadways for trail development and usage. The first projected project is
approximately 3.5 miles of Water Street in Rose Township. This is part of
the effort to connect Highland Oaks with Rose Oaks.
Staff has facilitated the wetland mitigation project at Lyon Oaks. Exploring
potential opportunities at Addison Oaks.
Commissioner Wilson and Mr. Kolar will be in attendance to answer any
questions regarding this request.
Funds for these improvements are not budgeted and, if approved, will need to be
appropriated from the FY 2011 CIP Contingency.

ITEM #8E
1TUNDEPENDENCE OAKS -NORTH USE AGREEMENT
Given the unique nature of the utility corridor that bisects Independence
Oaks -North, Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission staff contacted
ITC for the purpose of obtaining a license for the operation of their property to
provide passive recreation and trail connectivity.
Language was negotiated between Oakland County Corporation Counsel
and ITC counsel; an evergreen license (renewed in perpetuity unless it is
cancelled for cause by either party) has been proposed, and staff is seeking
Commission approval.
Fees are traditionally negotiated for these licenses; however, no fees are
involved in this particular license, as it will be beneficial to both parties.
No Board of Commissioners approval is required, as there is no interest in
real estate attached to this license.
8E - 1
PASSIVE RECREATION AND PATHWAY LICENSE
Licensor: International Transmission Company, a Michigan corporation, 27175 Energy Way, Novi, MI
48377 ("ITC").
Licensee: County of Oakland, through its statutory agency,
Oakland County Parks and Recreation
1200 N. Telegraph Road
Pontiac, MI 48341
Premises: NE 114 of Section 3, Independence Township, Oakland County, MI, being that part of ITC's
land described in the attached Exhibit A, highlighted in yellow.
License No: GLOA0112413
Term: This license is effective beginning June 1, 2011 and shall be automatically renewed on
January 1 of each subsequent year, unless terminated as provided herein.
License Fee: $198.33 is payable in advance upon execution of the license and $340.00 by January 1 of each
subsequent year.
ITC hereby permits Licensee to use the Premises for passive recreation purposes and to construct three (3) eight
(8) foot wide gravel pathways across premises (as shown on Trail Development Phasing Plan drawing attached as
Exhibit B), subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. If Licensee desires to post the Premises against trespassing and/or to erect fences or barricades, Licensee
shall obtain ITC's prior written approval. Licensee shall only erect such fences or barricades or post the Premises
against trespassing if and as ITC approves in writing. Other than approved fences or barricades, Licensee shall
place no buildings or other structures of any kind on the Premises.
2. ITC shall have the right at any time to use and possess the Premises for any purpose, for example, to inspect
and maintain its existing facilities, to clear trees and brush from the Premises, including by chemical spraying, and
to construct new facilities or allow third parties to construct new facilities on the Premises. Licensee's use of the
Premises shall at all times be subordinate to ITC's use, and ITC may at any time suspend this License and
temporarily evict Licensee or limit Licensee's use of the Premises without liability to ITC. Licensee assumes the
risk of damage to Licensee's property or improvements on the Premises resulting from ITC's use of the Premises
and waives all claims against ITC for any such damage.
3. Licensee accepts the Premises in their condition at present and from time to time hereafter and waives any
and all claims Licensee may at any time have against ITC related to the condition of the Premises. Licensee also
agrees to assume all liability for and to indemnify ITC, to the extent allowed by law, from and against all claims for
any type of injury to or death of any person or persons and loss or damage to the property of any person or persons
whomsoever, including the parties hereto and their agents, contractors, subcontractors, employees, and invitees,
arising out of Licensee's use of the Premises. Nothing in this License shall be construed as a waiver of governmental
immunity for Licensee.
4. Licensee shall notify ITC if Licensee discovers any hazardous substance or an object that may contain a
hazardous substance (such as vehicle tires, junk vehicles, storage tanks, barrels, cans, and similar containers) on the
Premises. Oil, gasoline, chlorinated solvents, vehicle tires, paint and sandblasting material are examples of
hazardous substances. ,
5. In consideration of the fact that Licensee owns land adjoining the Premises, and subject to Paragraphs 6 and 7
below, Licensee may assign this License to any person to whom Licensee sells or transfers Licensee's land that
adjoins the Premises. If Licensee (or any successors in title) does not expressly assign this License to such person,
then this License will automatically pass to subsequent owners of Licensee's adjoining land if and when any such
owner enters and uses the Premises, and such subsequent owners, by entering and using the Premises, shall be
considered to have accepted the terms and conditions of this License. Licensee shall give notice of assignment or
transfer of ownership of Licensee's adjoining land to ITC's Real Estate Department at the address listed above. ITC
may, at its option, require any such subsequent owner to execute a new License. Licensee may not assign this
8E-2
License to anyone other than the person to whom Licensee sells or transfers Licensee's adjoining land.
6. This License will automatically terminate when ITC sells the Premises. Otherwise, this License will continue
until either ITC or Licensee terminates it.
7. Either ITC or Licensee may terminate this License at any time by giving the other written notice of
termination. Notice of termination shalt be given to the address indicated above or such other address as ITC or
Licensee hereafter specifies in writing to the other. Notice of termination will be effective upon personal delivery or
mailing by first-class mail. If ITC terminates this License within 6 months after the annual License Fee is paid, ITC
wilt refund the unearned portion of that year's License Fee, less any expenses ITC incurs in removing any of
Licensee's personal property remaining on the Premises for more than 10 days following termination. No refund will
be paid if Licensee terminates this License.
8. Upon termination of this License, Licensee may remove any fences or barricades that ITC has permitted
Licensee to place on the Premises. Licensee shall remove permitted fences or barricades if requested by iTC.
Licensee will be deemed to have abandoned personal property that Licensee has not removed within 10 days
following termination.
9. This License is given subject to any existing leases, licenses, easements and other interests in the
premises, whether or not of record. Licensee is responsible to give required notices, to secure necessary
consents and permits from existing lessees, licensees, easement owners, and owners of other interests, and to
comply with other requirements of such existing leases, licenses, easements, and other instruments.
10. Licensee shall not be entitled to be reimbursed for the cost of Licensee's activities or to be compensated for
the value, if any, of Licensee's activities on the Premises, despite any benefit to ITC.
11. Hunting, trapping, baiting, hunting blinds, trash burning, and operation or storage of motor vehicles,
including without limitation, snowmobiles, motorcycles and all terrain vehicles, along with riding of horses, are
not permitted on the Premises under any circumstances; provided, however, that the Licensee may use motor
vehicles to maintain the gravel pathways on the Premises and may cross the gravel pathways with motor vehicles
to maintain Licensee's property.

MICHIGAN NATURAL RESOURCES TRUST FUND (MNRTF) GRANT
AGREEMENT ACCEPTANCE
In 2007, the OCPRC approved application to the MNRTF for the purchase of 100
acres of the Upland Hills Farm adjacent to Addison Oaks County Parks and the
separate application for financial assistance in the development of a trail connector that
would improve access between Addison Oaks (main), Addison Oaks — East, Bald
Mountain State Recreation Area (via Lake George Road) and the Oakland Township
Cranberry Lake Preserve (across Romeo Road). Both projects were approved by the
Trust Fund Board, and grant agreements were received in the fall of 2008. Ratification
of the two agreements has been on hold pending the revision of the grant language
since that time. Staff has received confirmation from Oakland County Corporation
Counsel that modification of the indemnification language has been agreed upon, and
we are once again bringing these two grants to the Commission for acceptance.
In light of recent budget discussion, staff is providing the Commission with
information on both of the 2007 grants, as well as the 2010 MNRTF grant that was also
funded, for consideration at this time. Resolutions to accept each of the three grants will
be brought before the Commission at the August 3 meeting. Staff is providing this
additional time for Commission consideration given the amount of time that has elapsed
since the Commission approved the grant applications for these projects.
Staff has provided a sample resolution for the acceptance of the grants along
with a brief explanation of each project. A description of the grant application process
has also been provided for your information.

2007 MN-RTF Acquisition Grad Acceptance - Information Brief
Recommended Land Acquisition: Addison Oaks e West
In 2007 OCPRC submitted a grant application for the acquisition of a portion of Upland
Hills Farm adjacent to Addison Oaks County Park and Bald Mountain State
Recreation Area.
This application was approved in December
of that year, however, a dispute over
language (primarily regarding
indemnification) has held up the approval of
the grant agreement since that time.
Acquisition status: Oakland County
Corporation Council has negotiated an
aapropriate modification to the grant
agreement language and staff has now
resubmitted the 2007 Acquisition Grant
Agreement for review and approval by the
Board of Commissioners.
As part of the review and approval process
staff is recommending to the Parks
Commission that they resolve to support
receiving the grant funds to enable the
acquisition of the target property.
If acquired, the property would be
managed as part of Addison Oaks County
Park under the name Addison Oaks - West.
This acquisition would support the vision and
goals of the 2008 OCPRC Strategic Plan as it
would promote trail connectivity and
passive recreation in high quality natural
areas.
The site features:
63 acres of Significant Natural Features
including mature Maple Beech Forest
Beach access on 32-acre Prince Lake

forested wetland depressions

Fishing, swimming and non -motorized
boat access
Trail linkages to Addison Oaks (across
Lake George Road) and Bald
Mountain State Recreation Areas
Access to the Polly Ann Trail via rural
connector roads
This property has been recognized for its
significance in promoting ecological and
recreational connectivity in Oakland
County's Green Infrastructure planning
process. Adjacency to existing parkland
and proximity to major trail corridors is
particularly important and has led to the
properties inclusion in regional greenway
visioning and the Oak Routes trail network,

2010 MKFRTF Development Grant Acceptance - Information Brief
Recommended: Kfaturai Areas Accessiblilty Improvements
for Highland, Lyon, Red and Rose Oaks County Parks
In 2010, OCPRC submitted a development grant application to improve trail access to
natural areas at four county parks. Because of significant competition from other
qualified applicants and the restructuring of the scoring mechanism that occurred in
2008, it took three application cycles for this grant to be approved.
If accepted by the Commission, this grant
will provide financial assistance in the
construction of a series of boardwalks, fishing
piers, boat launches and wildlife viewing
platforms to promote recreational access to
natural areas at Highland, Lyon, Red and
Rose Oaks County Parks.
The project will result in the construction of:
2200' boardwalk
200' floating piers
2 wildlife viewing platforms
The project will promote current recreational
priorities including:
• Trail connectivity
• Educational outreach
• Universal accessibility
• Wildlife -based recreation
• Water recreation access
Project Justification
The proposed project is consistent with
the goals and objectives of the 2007
Oakland County Parks and Recreation 5-
year Master Plan
n The trail connectivity, ADA compliance,
water recreation access, and financial
assistance achieved by the proposed
project support OCPR's 2008 Strategic
Plan
t The amenities created through the
project will address the highest priority
recreational needs identified in
countywide interest surveys
r The project will provide increased
opportunities for fishing, wildlife viewing,
educational programming and trail use in
underutilized areas within the county park
system

ITEM #9A
OPERATIONS BUDGET SUBSIDY REPORT
At the May 4 Commission meeting at Springfield Oaks, the Commission
directed staff to present a plan addressing budget and programmatic issues, in
light of the fact that all budget centers currently are subsidized at varying levels.
The first task was to have Fiscal Services staff evaluate our subsidy levels
in relationship to the Commission's -existing pricing policy, which identifies target
subsidy ranges for core programs and some facilities.
Staff's intent is to take this process and incorporate it into the budget
process.
Staff is recommending that the Commission revise its pricing policy to
include identified subsidy ranges as part of an overall department sustainability
policy. The intent will be to incorporate this process into the budget process. Staff
would make a proposal to the Commission using actual numbers from the final
budget numbers in mid -November, establishing budget goals/subsidy targets
based on the information provided.
Staff will report its findings and request Commission input on staffs
proposed future budgeting process/goal setting.

operations and proposing 3 — 4 days of operations.

focus on gateway opportunities to recreation, which may include adaptive recreation, outdoor
special events, health and wellness, and other core program service offerings.

Josh Katzensteln/ The Detroit News
Commerce Township — Township residents' long fight to preserve natural areas finally
is being fulfilled.
The state Department of Natural Resources this week agreed to sell the 500-acre
eastern unit of the Proud Lake State Recreation Area to the township for $2.8 million.
Director of DNR Rodney Stokes was to approve the transaction Thursday night at a
Natural Resources Commission meeting.
"This is a deal we've been wanting to worts out the last few years," said Mary Dettloff, a
DNR spokeswoman.
The township is buying it with funds from a millage residents passed in 2004 to protect
natural land in the township.
When the DNR appraised the land for a commercial developer in 2006, residents
worked to prevent a sale. More than 3,000 residents signed a petition sent to the DNR
in favor of saving the land, and more than 400 attended a 2007 DNR meeting to support
keeping the area public, said Kirt Manecke, president of LandChoices, a Milford -based
nonprofit that works to protect natural land.
The initial appraisal from the DNR totaled nearly $15 million, and the declining economy
prompted the developer to back out. A combination of deed restrictions and diminished
property value lowered the cost for the township. Improvements could include trails,
fishing ponds, signs and athletic fields,
"(Residents) didn't want it to be sold to begin with, but if it was going to be sold, they
wanted it sold to the township," said Ellen Smith of Commerce, secretary of Save Our
State Land, a group of Commerce Township residents working with LandChoices. "This
is a heck of a bargain."
Wise Road bisects the plot. Hayes Creek, a tributary of the Huron River, runs through
the southern portion, The only buildings on the site are remnants of a former Nike
missile base, which the U.S. Department of Defense stopped using decades ago.
The land must be open to the public for use as open space, wildlife habitat and public
outdoor recreation purposes in perpetuity, according to a letter from the NRC to Stokes.

Dear Name:
As a follow up to my letter of May 2.2011, 1 am writing to update public officials along a portion
of Enbridge's crude oil pipeline that crosses northwestern Indiana through southeastern Michigan
regarding our near -tern; and ongoing maintenance plans for this pipeline. This 293-mile-long
pipeline is referred to as "Line 613" by Enbridge and is part of its Lakehcad System (Lakehead
Pipe L:'ne Company was renamed Enbridge in 2001).
You may recall that, as part of our ongoing system -wide pipeline integrity program, we have
conducted a number of internal inspections of Line 6B and have investigated and remcdiated sites
along the pipeline in cases where features requiring repair %}ere identified by the internal
inspections. In addition to excavations and repairs and in parallel with that effort, we have
reviewed the feasibility of various other maintenance approaches going forward. For this review
process, Enbridge is conducting civil and environmental surveys along various segments of the
pipeline route. We have organized this overall effort and devoted a team into what we call the
"Line 6B Maintenance and Rehabilitation Project."
We are now proposing. subject to regulatory approval, to replace approximately 75 miles of the
existing Line 6B, consisting of 65 miles in Michigan and 10 miles in Indiana. The sections
proposed to be replaced were chosen, in part, because they are immediately downstream of active
pumping stations or would likely require continuing repairs in coming years. Over the long term,
Enbridge anticipates that pipeline replacement in these areas will obviate the need for recurring
excavations and repairs along these segments. By taking this approach, w'e belie\•e it will result
in fewer disturbances to landowners and communities in the long run.
A high-level conceptual mnp of the planned segments is attached.
As currently planned, the new pipeline segments will require Enbridge to widen or acquire new
right-ollway in some areas to ensure sufficient room between the currently active Line 6B
pipeline and an adjacent natural gas pipeline. Following installation of the new pipeline
segments, the existing pipeline segments being replaced will be purged of oil, filled with
nitrogen, and permanently and safely deactivated in compliance with federal pipeline safety
regu',ations.

The purpose of Enbridge's Line 6B Maintenance and Rehabilitation Project is to expand on our
routine activities through a series of comprehensive assessments, repairs and other actions. As
part ofthis effort, during 2010 and the first half of 2011, Enbridge completed sorrre 400 repairs
and replaced approximately three miles of pipe along Line 613, including 14 separate segments in
Michigan's Livingston and Oakland counties as well as the pipeline crossing boneath the St. Clair
River.
i'he Line 6B Maintenance and Rehabilitation Project is part of Enbridge's ongoing pipeline
integrity management program that is adapted and expanded based on the operating and physical
conditions of each pipeline segment. Until the Line 6B project is complete, and subject to federal
regulatory approval, F bridge will continue to operate Line 6B at lower than normal operating
pressures. Enbridge is proposing to complete the line segment replacement poilion of this overall
program by year-end 2012 so that reliable and safe crude oil delivery can continue in order to
meet the everyday energy needs of consumers and businesses in the region.
Enbridge will soon initiate- discussions with landowners to widen or acquire new right-of-way and
begin regulatory permitting, including with the Michigan Public Service Commission. We also
will keep affected public and public officials updated as our Line 6B Maintenance and
Rehabilitation Project continues to progress.
if you or your constituents have any questions on this project, please contact me toll -free at 500-
210-4362 or via e-mail atioe.martucci,r enbridae.com.

Enbridge Energy Partners plans to replace approximately 75 miles of the Line 6B pipeline in Indiana and Michigan. The replacements include five -mile
sections starting from the Griffith and La Porte IN. and Niles, Mendon, and Marshall Mi. pump stations as well as 50 miles of pipeline starting at the
Stockbridge pump station. Subject to regulatory approvals, the new segments of pipeline will be installed beginning in 2012 and operational by early 2013.
Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. owns and operates a diversified portfolio of crude oil and natural gas transportation systems in the United States. Its principal
crude oil system is the largest transporter of growing oil production from western Canada. The system's deliveries to refining centers and connected carriers
in the United States account for approximately 13 percent of total U.S. oil imports; while deliveries to Ontario, Canada satisfy approximately 70 percent of
refinery demand in that region.
