Food & Beverage Committee Update: Phil Castonia, Business Development Representative, provided the Commission with an update on the status of the Food and Beverage contracts: Vending Services: This service has been transitioned from Oak Management and their third party provider, to the County's contractor Variety Food Services. They do provide very good service, very reliable equipment, and are very responsive to our needs. We are looking at how to strategically replace some of the equipment next year that was vandalized at Independence Oaks this year. Overall the revenues are up 281%, which equates to about $4,100 this year for Variety, versus previous years of about $1,500 in revenue. We are looking forward to moving forward with Variety Food Services. Concessions: The Concessions Contract was awarded to Kosch Hospitality; it includes Springfield Oaks Golf Course, both Waterparks, and Groveland Oaks Campground. We negotiated aflatfeefor each facility, plus we will receive a net profit -shared revenue at the end of each year. There will not be any profit sharing this year. Revenues were less than anticipated at Springfield due to the delay in obtaining a liquor license at the facility. The Halfway House will be open next year and more service options will be available to the patrons, which in turn will aid in increasing revenues. Approved Caterers: Implementation on this phase of the process was scheduled for January 1, 2013; however, due minor delays, the award of this contract has been postponed. We currently have two vendors, and the first part of 2013 we will focus on recruiting to obtain more vendor bidders. Banquet Services/Grill Room Operations: After the RFP's were sent out we received 4 bids — only 2 of those are being considered. We are scheduled for interviews with both companies, and the next step will be to start negotiations with the bidders. This contract will cover the four banquet facilities at White Lake Oaks, Glen Oaks, Lyon Oaks Golf Courses and Addison Oaks Conference Center. The current contact is valid through December 31, 2015. We will negotiate a contract with a start date of January 1, 2016. We will present a contract for OCPRC approval at the November 28, 2012 meeting after negotiations are finalized and beneficial to both parties.

Stencil, Executive Officer; Jon Noyes, Supervisor of Planning Submitted: November 21, 2012 Subject: Informational Item — MDNR Acquisition Proposal Update INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY OCPRC staff has been in conversation with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources regarding the potential development of an ORV (Off Road Vehicle) recreation area in Oakland County for more than a decade. In 2008, the State ORV Plan identified that the operation of an ORV recreation area by or in partnership with a local government in Southeast Michigan was a top priority. In 2012, MDNR Director Rodney Stokes spoke before the OCPR Commission and identified his interest in exploring partnership opportunities with the County Parks for the expressed purpose of increasing recreation opportunity in Southeast Michigan, promoting governmental efficiency, and spurring economic growth. ORV recreation was one of the areas mentioned specifically. Ron Olsen, with the Department of Natural Resources, has contacted Dan Stencil with a unique opportunity for the MDNR to modify their 2012 grant request to the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) to include $4 million for the acquisition of a portion of the Koenig Gravel Operation Property to set up the opportunity for the State to lease the property to the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission for the purpose of operating an Multi -use ORV park. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Commission support the MDNR request for MNRTF funds. If grant funds are approved, staff will develop a proposed lease and business strategy for the operation of a mixed use park including water recreation, trails, fishing, ORV's, natural area preservation and the potential opportunity for on - site camping. As the State's primary interest in this partnership is the creation of ORV recreational opportunities, OCPRC staff has consider the following to be critical in the making this recommendation: • There are more than 158,000 ORV licenses issued to Michigan residents annually. Oakland County represents more than 6.4% of the state total, more than any other county, and has no legal public ORV riding areas. (Note that snowmobiles are not considered or licensed as ORV's) • Approximately two-thirds of Michigan ORV-owners live in the southern portion of the Lower Peninsula; most public ORV opportunities are several hours drive away • Despite its relatively small size (327 acres with 230 acres available for ORV use), Genesee County Parks' The Mounds is the fourth most popular ORV destination in the state behind Silver Lake Dunes, Bull Gap, and St. Helen's Motorsport Area • More than 19,000 licensed ORVs, from Michigan, Indiana and Ohio are transported along the 1-75 Corridor destined for riding opportunities in Michigan's Northern Lower Peninsula 8 E-1 Page 2 SIMMENN Michigan Residents spend more than $143 million on ORV trips annually within the State; 63% of those expenditures are made within the ORV destination community More than 7,000 households in Oakland County have licensed ORVs with annual expenditures on ORV trips estimated at more than $8 million Genesee County Parks is now bringing Special Events to The Mounds to attract ORV tourism dollars. The 2011 Gator vs. The Mounds event, sponsored by John Deere, was identified as bringing more than $280,000 in economic activity for local businesses MOTION Move to receive and file this report. 8 E-2 OMAKLAND [IDDRYMAIII'M Proposed MDNR Acquisition Site Concept ® MDNR Acquisition Target - Potential MNRTF Grant Funding - Intended for ORV use - Intended for OCPRC lease - Anticipated 670 acres total - 300 acres of ORV access - 6-8 miles of ORV trail - ORV scramble features - 130 acres open water Continued Extraction Area - Approximately 540 acres - Future OCPRC acquisition potential - Planned for continued extraction - 160 acres in the sewar district - Potential partnership opportunities with local community to create a soccer complex Feet 0 500 1,000 2,000 Vicky Valko From: Stencil, Dan <stencild@oakgov.com> nt: Thursday, November 15, 2012 5:46 PM 'Olson, Ron (DNR)' Cc: Valko, Victoria Subject: FW: 12-11-14 Request for confirmation of willing seller Importance: High FYI.

It is my understanding that you may be in discussion with the State as to the most appropriate entity to own and operate the site, and that opportunities may exist for grant funding to assist in the acquisition of all or a portion of the site. I would like to be considered a "willing seller" in this effort. As we move forward, however, please understand that we are a business and need to act on the best interest of our shareholders. We are currently evaluating other offers for the purchase of this site and being considered a "willing seller" does not mean that we are obliged to sell to the State or to Oakland County. Thank you for your interest in the public acquisition and recreation use of the Koenig Gravel Pit. Sincerely, Koenig Sand & Gravel Peter G.

I would like to personally thank you for your continued support for this concept and our continued dialogue regarding the potential of expanded partnerships between the State of Michigan and Oakland County Parks. As you know, I believe that the recreation profession is in a time of significant transformation and we as pubic recreation providers have a profound responsibility to be innovators in efficiency, intergovernmental partnerships, and collaborative ventures with the private sector. I am confident that the initiatives mentioned by you and Director Stokes to our Parks and Recreation Commission last spring, including the potential acquisition of the Koenig property, MDNR outreach to our statewide urban population centers, and the impact of recreation on economic development will be instrumental to making Southeast Michigan a recreational destination for tourists from across our state and our region.

DISTRICT To: Chairman Fisher and Commission Members From: Daniel J. Stencil, Executive Officer Sue Wells, Manager of Parks & Recreation Operations Larry Gee, Chief -Parks Operations & Maintenance — S. District Submitted: November 27, 2012 Subject: Manitowac Ice Machine Purchase — Catalpa Oaks INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY The new Catalpa Oaks Restroom and Concession Building is near completion. An ice machine and refrigerator are required in the building in order to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy from the Oakland County Health Department. OCPR purchased a Manitowac Ice Machine, which was competitively bid through Oakland County Purchasing Division, for Lyon Oaks Golf Course in August 2012. (A copy of that bid summary is attached.) Staff is recommending the purchase of the same machine for the Catalpa Oaks Concession Building. The vendor, Douglas Equipment from Bluefield, West Virginia, will honor the same price of $6,762 for a new Manitowac Ice Machine. Purchasing is recommending we accept this price because a seven percent (7%) increase for all models, across the board, will go into effect on December 1, 2012. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval to purchase a Manitowac Ice Machine for the Catalpa Oaks Concession Building from the low bidder, Douglas Equipment, in the amount of $6,762. Funds for this item are not budgeted in the FY 2013 Equipment Requests; therefore, staff is requesting approval of a budget amendment as noted below. Move to approve the purchase of one (1) Manitowac Ice Machine for Catalpa Oaks Concession Building from Douglas Equipment in the amount of $6,762 and approve the following budget amendment: FY2013 Budget Amendment: Revise the FY 2013 Capital Equipment Budget, found on Page 26, of the FY 2013-2015 Adopted Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Budget, to include the purchase of one (1) Manitowac Ice Machine in the amount of $6,762. The machine will be located at the Catalpa Oaks Concession Building. Funding is available in the Unrestricted Net Assets Operating Reserve Account.

Addison Wetland Banking Project: The Addison Oaks Wetland Mitigation Banking Award of Contract is temporarily on hold. OCPR Staff is in communication with representatives from the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund Board with regard to an exemption request to allow private banking and an MDEQ easement to occur on the Oakland Township portion of Addison Oaks which was purchased with Trust Fund monies. The process involves a 30-day public comment period for the project, a resolution by the OCPRC approving the conversion request, and submission of a formal conversion request to the Trust Fund Board. The process is anticipated to conclude over the next two months. If MNRTF is favorable toward the Addison Oaks Wetland Mitigation Banking project, staff will proceed with a resolution by the OCPRC approving the MNRTF conversion request and request for award of contract to Niswander Environmental, LLC anticipated at the March 2013 OCPRC meeting. 4. 2012 County Auction: Attached for your information is a report on the FY 2012 Auction Revenue and Expense Summary for both live and online auctions. 5.

County, N iichigan , 1200 North telegraph Road � Pontiac, 101 011DELIVERY 9 A-6 .. m Serving Oakland County Recreation Passport to enter state parks goes up $1 next year Published: Thursday, November 15, 2012 LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The price of the Recreation Passport needed to enter Michigan's state parks, recreation areas and forest campgrounds is going up $1 effective next year. The state Department of Natural Resources announced Wednesday that starting Jan. 2 the price will be $11, up from the current $10. The DNR says the increase is based on a requirement built into legislation that created the program that says the annual price must keep pace with inflation. The state began selling the passports in October 2010 as a way of paying for park operations and maintenance. Motorists can buy them when visiting a park or renewing their vehicle licenses. A related "Passport Perks" program includes discounts on goods and services from 1,100 local businesses to those with a Recreation Passport. 9 A-7 5 Year Utility Comparision $600,000.00 $500,000.00 $400,000.00 $300,000.00 $200,000.00 $100, 000.00 t ELECTRICAL SERVICE NATURAL GAS _ WATER AND SEWER WRC OPERATIONS ■ 2008 ■ 2009 $544,787.15 $558,181.41 $307,434.34 $319,025.57 $174,805.50 $152,158.65 $25,670.27 $7,927.43 ■ 2010 $527,766.07 $264,868.92 � $186,077.08 $13,098.04 ■ 2011 ■ 2012 $553,931.78 $563,754.80 $272,297.56 $195,163.72 � $117,067.06 $134,847.74 $11,208.89 $13,760.51
