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.

need to be addressed. We are planning to close the facility for one week in February to clean, paint and set
up new displays. We have also been working with the Madison Heights Women's Club — they will be
decorating the facility for the holidays. As part of the plan to improve the marketing of the facility, we have
been obtaining email addresses of those patrons that have visited the Nature Center; they will be used when
we send out email blasts. Fall programs have been outlined for nature education, and staff is in the process of
planning the winter programs. The objectives and matrix for both nature center facilities will be brought back
to the Commission in January. Staff is currently evaluating the use and activities at both facilities and would
like to keep the programs and hours of operation comparable.

Subject: Food & Beverage Banquet Services & Grill Room Operations — Informational Update
INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY
Since 1974, the parks system had relied upon a single contractor to provide all of its food and beverage needs.
Oak Management Corporation had an exclusive contract (through 10 prior contract amendments) for all food
and beverage operations at the golf courses, including grill room operations, golf outings; concessions at
waterparks and campgrounds; limited vending; and banquet service at Addison Oaks Conference Center, Glen
Oaks Golf Course, Lyon Oaks Golf Course and White Lake Oaks Golf Course.
The Oakland County Board of Commissioners in 2006 passed Misc. Resolution #06245, stating,
"...that no further extensions beyond December 31, 2015, shall be made to this lease without an appropriate
"equest for Proposal process." Furthermore, current Oakland County Purchasing Policies would be followed.
In the fall of 2011, Oakland County Parks formed a Food and Beverage Committee comprised of key
administration and operations staff and Parks Commissioners. We also enlisted the assistance of Oakland
County's Purchasing Division, Health Division, and Corporation Counsel. The Committee developed a Request
for Proposal based on the needs of the park system and with research done of national best practices. The
Request for Proposal was completed in September with responses due in October, which included a pre -bid
and site visit component.
The Committee developed evaluation criteria for the proposals. Criteria included:
• Experience and background
• Quality of service
• Company Financial and Organizational Information
• Marketing Plans
• Capital Improvements
• Commissions paid to the County
• Quality, Variety, Price of food
• Proposed Professional Service Contract Changes
• Company policies and procedures for daily operations/safety
• Financial Capability
• Additional services provided.
The Committee evaluated each applicant according to the criteria. Evaluation of the proposals was completed
d two vendors were considered for further evaluation. The two vendors were selected for interviews with the
..,ommittee to discuss their submitted proposals and to give the Committee a chance to gain a better
understanding of each vendor's proposal. After these initial interviews a negotiations sub -committee was
formed to negotiate further with both vendors.

recommends moving forward on further contract negotiations for a license agreement and professional
services contract with Kosch Hospitality for the operation of Addison Oaks Conference Center and White Lake
Oaks Banquet Center and Grill Room. We will also be moving forward on similar contract negotiations with
Oak Management Corporation for the continued operation of Lyon Oaks and Glen Oaks Banquet Centers and
Grill Rooms.
These contracts will begin January 1, 2016. Kosch Hospitality is proposed to be offered a 3-year contract with
an optional 5 year extension at the Commission's sole discretion. Oak Management is proposed to be offered
a
5-year contract also with an optional 5 year extension at the Commission's sole discretion. A transition
process will be established to ensure a smooth transition for our guests at Addison Oaks and White Lake Oaks
when moving from Oak Management to Kosch Hospitality.
This informational report will also be presented to the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Planning and
Building Committee on December 4 for informational purposes. The negotiations sub -committee will continue
to negotiate the final terms of each contract throughout December/January and will present the final contracts
for approval recommendation to the Parks Commission at its February 2013 meeting. The contracts will then
be forwarded to the Board of Commissioners through the Committee and full Board process for approval in
February and March, 2013.

The Dashboard will contain the following fields:
■ Goal — The four strategic goals include Land and Natural Resource Management, Recreation Facilities,
Recreation Programs and Services, and Organizational Sustainability
■ Performance Indicator — Performance indicators measure the outcomes of our actions (as opposed to
tracking metrics, which measure our success in completing actions)
■ Sponsor — This is a staff person who will take responsibility for reporting on specific performance indicators
■ Data Source — Data sources may include RecTrac, CAMS, GIS data or other information source
■ 2012 Baseline — The baseline for reporting in most cases is the data at the end of 2012. In some cases,
however, we are setting new standards for data collection and analysis. In these cases, establishment of data
collection methods and baseline data may occur during 2013. In these cases, data will be reported as it
becomes available.
■ 2017 Target — Targets are being established that express projections for improved outcomes. In certain
cases, establishment of targets may occur in 2014, as methods for making projections and determining
targets is established. Reporting against these targets will begin no later than 2015.
■ Current Assessment — The current assessment will provide an assessment of the Performance Indicator for
the quarter being reported and a comparison against established targets.
■ Comment — The comment field provides further explanation, when needed, of the Current Assessment.
The Dashboard concept will be shared with the Commission on November 28 as a power point presentation.
3. Dashboard of Preliminary Report of 2008-2012 Results
The Dashboard report format will be used to provide a progress report on the implementation of the 2008 Strategic Plan.

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

Dear Mr. Stencil —
I have been in correspondence with your Planning Supervisor, Jon Noyes, regarding the potential sale of the Koenig
Gravel Pit in Oxford Township to either the State of Michigan or Oakland County Parks and Recreation for the purpose
of a potential recreational area. 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. Fredericks

Dear Mr. Olson:
I am writing today in support of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources'
efforts to seek Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund assistance in the
acquisition of the property owned by Koenig Sand and Gravel, for the purpose of
creating a mixed -use recreational area that may feature Off -Road Vehicle areas,
trails, water activities and other amenities.
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.
Thank you for your continued leadership and willingness to pursue recreation
Gerald n. Fisher opportunities that will benefit Michigan residents.

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.

3. 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.

fixtures in low traffic areas, and energy saving light bulbs for parking lots. We will
continue to look at opportunities to potentially broker other electrical services, similar to
what we have done with gas.

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.
