Communications and Marketing Presentation
Executive Officer Daniel Stencil explained that staff wanted to take this opportunity to have an interactive
discussion with the Commission regarding the efforts of the Communications and Marketing section of
Oakland County Parks. Desiree Stanfield, Supervisor of Communications and Marketing, along with
Meagan Shafto, Communications and Marketing Assistant, provided an overview on the high level initiatives
for 2013 and those planned for 2014; they also provided some history and how Communications and
Marketing came to be what it is today.
Additional topics included:
• Branding initiatives
• Allocation of available resources
• Needs Assessment
• Sales and Sponsorship Opportunities
• OCPR sponsorships and events
• The need to assess current activities and fill in any gaps, where necessary
• Enhance OCPR website and content
• Expansion of social media, advertisements, including local newspapers and magazines,
Facebook, Twitter, interactive media, radio, television, and billboards
• Promotion of newly created OCPR blog
• Continue offering wellness programs in parks, partnership programs with other Oakland County
divisions, and other businesses, etc.
• Create awareness and increase attendance and revenue at the parks via brochures, flyers,
promotional displays, e-blasts, trade shows displays
• Include additional Radio Interviews
• Provide the parks system with a human element to bring in more patrons
Following the presentation there was general discussion by the Commission and staff and the following
suggestions were offered:
• Research the ability to obtain a list of human resource representatives for businesses in Oakland
County possibly through Oakland County Economic Development or Chambers of Commerce to
promote healthy lifestyle programs in Oakland County Parks
• Offer hand-outs/brochures at local sports shops to build awareness
• Offer promotional packages for OCPR events and activities through local sports shops
• Investigate the possibility of advertisements in the Secretary of State's Office or Pure Michigan
Magazine
• Provide OCPR brochures to local realtors to include in new homeowner "Welcome Packets"
• Create incentives to increase attendance via emails on programs
• Publish more detailed information for programs and events on website and through text alerts
• Ensure consistent signage throughout the parks
• Verify the verbiage on signs i.e. Closed vs. Closed for the Season or adding the dates on the
signs
• Investigate the possibility of having OCPR signs outside of Oakland County and in the Windsor
area to attract additional patrons
• Build a relationship with the media, television and/or radio personalities to help promote events
and increase attendance at parks
• Verify that OCPR website and content also has the format which can accommodate i-phone or
smart phone viewing — so potential customers are not lost due to format issues
• Create a workgroup/committee for branding initiatives to work with the Commission
• Identify where resources were spent this year and plan accordingly for the future
• Determine if a consultant should be hired to assist in a survey
2
(Commission Meeting, March 12, 2014)
• Contact local universities/colleges and inquire about assistance on a survey from staff or students
• Research possibility of advertising on local cable television programs, ESPN or the Golf Channel
• Evaluate hiring a consultant for media advertising packages to obtain the best possible media
coverage for the lowest possible cost
• Include links on our website to partner/co-sponsor websites for additional program information
• Focus on key areas to invest more toward the brand and promotions on a large scale for
recruitment including sponsorships
Staff requested additional funds to have the resources to provide the necessary and needed tools to improve
upon marketing and communications for Oakland County Parks. In addition, staff advised the Commission the
national benchmark for marketing budgets is 5%, however OCPR Communications and Marketing budget is
currently at 3.44%.
Staff informed the Commission that they plan to move forward with the workgroup/committee to create a draft
of a policy for branding/marketing strategy, create an RFP, and a policy for marketing/branding that will include
Commission participation in the process. The Commission indicated it would be good to incorporate this
request into the upcoming 2105 OCPR Budget process.
OLD BUSINESS:
There was no old business to report.
NEW BUSINESS:

Submitted: March 27, 2014
Subject: Proposed OCPR Commission Meeting Site Location for May and June 2014
INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY
As a result of the extended winter weather we have been having staff is requesting that the OCPR Commission
meetings scheduled in May and June 2014 switch locations. This would also help ensure that
outdoor conditions are more amenable to having a dedication ceremony for the Rose/Highland trail
improvements. In addition, the American Hiking Society's National Trails Day°, the country's largest
celebration of trails, is scheduled for Saturday, June 7, 2014, the weekend immediately following the
dedication.
Therefore, staff is recommending that the Commission meeting on May 7, 2014, be held at the OCPR
Administration Office and the June 4, 2014, Commission meeting be held at Rose Township municipal offices
with a trails dedication ceremony immediately following the Commission meeting. Further details on the
dedication ceremony will be distributed once plans have been finalized.
MOTION
Move to approve the following change in the OCPR Commission meeting locations as follows:

Subject: Food & Beverage Consultant Preliminary Report - Profitable Food Facilities
INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY
In October 2013, a number of issues were happening all at the same time in regards to the Food and Beverage
operations at Oakland County Parks. We were in the middle of the Conference Center RFP for the second
time; an RFP waiting to be finalized for catering services; and we were notified our Concession Vendor, Kosch
Catering, was exercising their 365 day cancelation term. At the same time we had staff attending National
Conferences, both World Waterpark and National Recreation and Park Association, and were able to meet
with Profitable Food Facilities, a national leader in the industry.
With all of the work we were doing with Greenplay LLC on cost recovery and the service portfolio, this was a
perfect opportunity to subcontract Profitable Food Facilities to do a food and beverage analysis for all of our
facilities.
Profitable Food Facilities spent 4 days meeting with staff, contractors and visiting each facility to prepare the
attached report and analysis. This report has been reviewed and accepted by staff and the Food and
Beverage Committee and will help us as we move forward into the next phase with a long term contract with a
Food and Beverage consultant.

Executive summary
Profitable Food Facilities (PFF) is a food and beverage consulting firm that specializes in
operations' evaluations for captive market venues including Private Country Clubs, Public Golf
Courses, Catering Operations, Outdoor Pool Facilities, Health Clubs and Day Spas. Established
in 1991, PFF has a client base numbering over 370 projects in 48 states, Canada, Asia and the
Middle East.
mils—_iCope of project
Between October 23 and October 25, 2013, PFF sent representatives to 14 different facilities
that are managed by the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission in order to evaluate
their Food and Beverages (F&B) operations.
The facilities in question include: Waterford Oaks Waterpark, Red Oaks Waterpark, Addison
Oaks Campground, Groveland Oaks Campground, Red Oaks Nature Center, Independence Oaks
Park, Red Oaks Sports Complex, Catalpa Oaks Concessions, Red Oaks Golf Course 9- Hole,
Springfield Oaks Golf Course, White Lake Golf Course and Conference Center, Lyon Oaks Golf
Course and Conference Center, Glen Oaks Golf Course and Conference Center and the Addison
Oaks Banquet Hall and Conference Center.
Based on the findings of the on -site analyses, PFF created a list of recommendations that aim to
help these facilities comprehend the issues that they are facing and seek to improve the
general status of their F&B operations.

Key issues identified
Our initial evaluations of the target facilities revealed that, aside from issues that are specific to
each operation, there are a number of issues that are common to two or more facilities. For
example, both Waterford Oaks Waterpark and Red Oaks Waterpark are faced with the
following challenges:
➢ County receives 75% of net profits from concessionaire so there is little incentive to run
more efficiently.
➢ The facilities are pulling $1.25 per cap, while the industry average is of $3.00 and above.
➢ There is no brand or marketing name associated to either waterpark.
➢ They are operated by a third party operator whom does not understand the waterpark
industry and its needs.
➢ At present, visitors can bring in their own food and beverage.
The campgrounds managed by Oakland County Parks and Recreation (Addison Oaks and
Groveland Oaks) also face a number of challenges and opportunities, the most important of
which being the following:
➢ There is nothing else within several miles to support the consumers needs for simple
items (this is a good thing!)
The Sports Complexes have a different array of issues to take care of. The primary challenge is
there are not enough visitors at these facilities to sustain a food and beverage operation. The
secondary issue is the current design which prevents the visitors from accessing a certain part
of the facility, therefore minimizing the potential of those resources (such as the issues with the
concession stand of the Red Oaks Sports Complex). There is also the issue of not being enough
activity to draw the visitors to stay longer, as the visitors often choose on staying on the
premises for less than two hours (Red Oaks Golf Course, Catalpa Oaks Concessions, Red Oaks
Nature Center etc.), which often results in the customer not spending money on meals at the
sites.
With golf courses, the main issue is that the locations don't draw enough profit, as the golfers
spend amounts below the industry averages at these locations. For example, the National
average golfer is spending $5.88, while White Lake Oaks is $4.18, Glen Oaks is $4.58 and
Springfield Oaks is $4.05. As stated above the average is $5.88 nationwide, unfortunately many
of these courses are not maximizing their potential. The potential at your facilities can be
dramatic when we integrate the food with the rounds we believe you can double your current
per cap.

ti.a..
Suggested solutions
Having identified these issues, PFF will showcase a list of recommendations that addresses
them. For example, PFF highly suggests that Oakland County Parks and Recreation operates the
concession operations themselves at both waterparks and create a position for Group Sales and
Marketing, hiring a person whose sole job would be to focus on bringing in business. PFF also
recommends creating a more appealing menu board outside and around the park to maximize
revenue and profits.
In order to deal with the issues at the campgrounds, among other things, PFF suggests that a
brand of local products be developed on site (such as cookies, ice cream, apple cider that can
be branded with the name of the park). This will reinforce our brand and, combined with an
advertising campaign created directly at the campsites, will attract more revenue and deal with
visitors bringing in their own food and beverage.
As for the Sports Complexes, we recommend those that have allowed non -profits to operate
them to continue. We feel there are other areas to focus our attention and energy. In addition,
we suggest locking in a contract with a soda supplier and put vending services outside in order
to provide 24-hour service. We encourage the use of healthy vending options and suggest other
locations strive towards that as well.
When it comes to golf courses, PFF suggests that Oakland County Parks and Recreation takes
over the F&B operations at Springfield Oaks and implement more aggressive marketing
campaigns where the revenues are low. We suggest building a base of operations at Springfield
Oaks as phase one. Phase 2 would be to move into special events for festivals, etc. Phase 3
would be to turn the Activity Center across the street into a prime wedding location for
receptions, ceremonies, and to meet any of the needs of the bride and groom. In the short term
with the Activity Center, you can start by selecting a "preferred caterer" list and begin booking
events now such as weddings and golfers after parties. At White Lake Oaks we suggest
branding the restaurant with signage on the main entrance or on the back of the building facing
the main street, as a lot of people passing by are unaware of what is being offered at the course.
A manager and supporting staff will be needed for each location to handle the day to day
events. Some locations will require a higher skilled individual then others due to the
expectations of the guests per facility. The Waterparks for example will have many events,
parties, and daily visitors but will not require as much F&B knowledge as the requirements for a
golf banquet or wedding event. At the Golf facilities, your manager would need to manage a
larger staff, table service, the host and their guests.

Section 1: Waterparks
Overview
Oakland County Parks and Recreation currently operates the only two outdoor waterparks in
the Detroit Metropolitan Area and Oakland County: Waterford Oaks Waterpark and Red Oaks
Waterpark. It's also important to point out that they have been in operation for almost 30
years and that there is basically no competition for these facilities.
LIL Current challenges in both facilities
➢ Vendor
■ Poor customer service, long lines and response to complaints from and to
Vendor has scared away possible sales.
County receives 75% of net profits. However, no additional profits have been
received because the vendor operates at a loss.
■ High operating cost being reported by third party operator causing concerns for
true potential of concession operations.
■ Vendor is stuck in a contract that it does not want to be a part of.
➢ Sales
■ As with all waterparks, weather effects parks attendance and thus food sales.
■ Currently, the location is pulling $1.25 per cap (industry average of $3.00 and
above).
■ There is no brand or marketable name for the waterpark.
■ Minimal marketing game plan in promoting food and beverage at the waterpark.
➢ Design and Operations
■ Operated by a third party operator whom does not understand the waterpark
industry and needs.
■ Guests are allowed to bring in their own food and beverage.
■ Facility provides charcoal grills at the location for public to use, taking direct
sales away from concessions.
■ Quality of product is a concern to the customers and staff at operations
■ Kitchens are in need of a small remodel for the equipment layout and concept.
November 2013 — Oakland County Master Report 6

_Overall Recommendations
➢ Design and Operations
■ Our top recommendation for Oakland County Parks and Recreation is to operate
the waterpark concession operations themselves. They have the highest
potential for profits and are the easiest to manage.
■ We recommend implementing a fresh grill concept in order to showcase an
outdoor grill operation.
■ Add an extra satellite location. This could include the afternoon sweet treats for
our customers i.e. Funnel Cakes and Shaved Ice.
■ Eliminate or minimize coolers and outside food. We can create a similar
pleasurable experience and allow the grills to be rented outside the park.
➢ Sales
■ Start renting cabanas and shaded areas and include food and beverage service.
The best way to start moving toward this would be to interview other
waterparks to see the costs and benefits of this option. Purchasing a cabana can
be as easy as heading to your local Lowe's or Home Depot.
■ Integrate food and beverage into the groups, birthdays, corporate and daily
admissions.
■ Oakland County Parks and Recreation needs a Group Sales and Marketing person
whose sole job would be to focus on bringing in business.
■ Central number that allows all key locations to call into and allow for quick
turnaround in bookings and response.
■ Add additional cash registers (3 minimum) to help manage the additional volume
using a voucher system.
➢ Vendor
■ End the current contract now since neither party wants to continue the contract.
■ Create a more appealing menu board outside and around the park.

Current challenges
➢ Design and Operations
■ No outlets or power though out the island for possible secondary satellite site.
■ Current building for concessions hides in a block building with no personality or
strong identity.
Recommendations
➢ Design and Operations
■ Insert utilities throughout key locations of the park to allow cart services and
secondary satellite sites.
■ Develop an outside picnic area for customers to eat at outside of the concession
stand to allow us to open an extra window service.
■ Turn extra window facing the parking lot into an employee and cabana server's
service window.
■ Recommend locating the outdoor grill operations next to the wall of the
bathrooms that are located within the seating area for the concessions.
➢ Sales
■ Create a large welcoming sign announcing the name and branding the building.
► Eel9:i
We highly recommend that Oakland County Parks and Recreation start with these two
waterpark operations to "get your feet wet" in managing food and beverage operations.
Waterparks are the easiest to manage, are seasonal by nature (we only open for 100 days) and
have the most potential profit in a short period of time. We estimate that Oakland County
Parks and Recreation could generate over $150,000.00 in operating income annually from these
two waterpark concessions alone ... 1.5 million over 10 years. This is a CONSERVATIVE estimate.
If we keep all things equal and sell the same amount in gross sales, as well as leaving all prices
the same for each Waterpark. We would generate an increase of $21,490 to Oakland County
Parks' bottom line as shown in the table below.

Furthermore if we were to make some of the suggested modifications, we could easily see an
increase in the per cap to $2.50 (note: still below the national average) by disallowing outside
coolers and food, unless inside a rented cabana, we could easily raise the per cap to around
$4.10. Both of these are represented in the table below.
Location Goss Sales Food Costs Labor Costs Supplies Net Sales
Waterford 90,000 $27,000 $27,000 $5,000 $31,000

Most importantly at some point we will hit a labor cap and we will not have any space to put
another employee. Once labor hits this peak your labor percentages will begin to drop. On busy
days you can run a 17-19% labor cost, increasing the bottom line even further without
sacrificing guest satisfaction.

Section 2: Oakland County Campgrounds
L__� Overview
We here at PFF believe that both the Groveland Oaks Campground as well as the Addison Oaks
Campground present tremendous opportunity for growth, as there are plenty of activities at
the location to keep the visitors entertained: boating, fishing, mountain biking, sand volleyball
etc.
Both campgrounds include a fire ring and picnic table and are close to modern restrooms. The
award -winning campground recreation program features crafts, games, music and many other
events. Visitors can reserve multiple day packages and daily visitors have an average stay of
over 6 hours.
WCurrent challenges in both facilities
➢ Sales:
■ Seasonality and weather dependent location.
■ There is nothing else within several miles to support our consumers.
■ Current visitors can bring in their own food and beverage.
K� Overall Recommendations
➢ Operations
■ We are recommending that Oakland County Parks and Recreation take over the
operations of the concessions.
■ Integrate current staff and team members we have; add/adjust roles and
responsibilities.
■ Have the camp store also be the location where campers check in for their
campsites.
■ There will be a minimal amount of startup costs, associated with the locations.
Many of the items can be purchased on consignment and rescued/donated racks
from closing stores and shops within the community are a great way to start off
cost effective.

�F— Overall Recommendations (cont.)
➢ Sales
■ Integrate food and beverage products from the camp store into the reservations
and daily fees.
■ Create packages with reservations that include items that tend to be difficult for
the visitors to bring or replace, such as; firewood, desserts (that cannot hold), ice
and charcoal. They can receive a reduced price if booked in advance.
■ Recommend developing a brand of our own products (as discussed): S'mores
packages, cookies, ice cream, apple cider and donuts and other novelty items.
■ Develop a strong identification with each location, of our concessions and our
stores.
■ A marketing campaign needs to be created directly at the campsites. A
connection leading the participants to the store.

A. Addison Oaks Campground and Park
Strong points
PFF visited the facility on October 23, 2013 and found that the campground at Addison features
174 campsites, plus group areas. This particular location has been voted "Favorite Campground"
by C&G Newspapers. The campground concession building sits by the beach and not close to
the campsites, which all have water and electricity on site. Among the many attractions of this
location we list the 24-hole disc golf course and Yurts. The average time a visitor spends here is
over 6 hours.

■ We are not always guaranteed that guests will come into our campsite or beaches.
➢ Operations
■ Currently there is no store or concessions on property servicing the guests and their
needs.
Recommendations
➢ Design
■ Design and build a multi -purpose camp store. The multi -purpose store would be
able to handle check -ins, reservations, daily rentals and the concessions
operations. This would help sales due to impulse buys and convenience with
products on hand. Providing products that would service their campsites and
beach goers.

to order.
■ Revise the miniature golf/laundry station that can be turned into a smaller camp
store to support the other side of the campgrounds.
➢ Vendor
■ We would recommend ending the contract sooner than the outlined status.
■ If we continue with the vendor, require audits on invoices, sales and expense to
concur with what they are reporting.
■ Vendors need to pay fines, or, penalties need to be put into place if customer
service complaints to cleanliness issues are not met at County standards.
➢ Sales
■ We can offer more than just food from the building; slide passes, rentals and
other items

L. Catalpa Oaks Concessions
Strong points
➢ Brand new multi -purpose sports complex
➢ Practices and games throughout the week
➢ Play grounds right in front of the concession stand

monitor their success month to month.
■ We would install vending services outside to allow us to capture the practices and
provide a service 24 hours.

Recommendations
➢ Sales
■ We recommend keeping with the non-profit approach. Yet, with a small rent on the
building of 10%. This will allow us to monitor their success month to month.
■ We would put vending services outside to allow us to capture the practices and
provide a service 24 hours.
■ We also have the opportunity to insert healthy vending machines with the proper
branding and appeal at these key locations.
■ Lock in contracts with soda and require third party operator to use our vendors. We
will get the sponsorship dollars and rebates back to the County.

Current challenges
➢ Sales
■ Every vendor claims unable to make money at the location
■ Below average golfer spending. Nation average $5.88 we are at $4.05
■ Springfield Oaks is in a remote location and struggles to get golfers to the facility.
➢ Vendor Management
■ Poor customer service and response to complaints from and to Vendor has
scared away organizations from main restaurant
County receives 75% of net profits. However, no additional profits have been
received because the vendor operates at a loss.
➢ Design and Operations
■ Did not have an outdoor grill at the grill located on the turn. Products are hidden
behind the windows and a limited menu is provided. Plus, a poor product is
offered to our visitors.
■ Missing a true bar experience and a connection to the golfers in the upper level
restaurant.
■ Golfers can easily walk by and never see the main restaurant. They can go from
their car to the pro -shop and then down to the course.
Recommendations
➢ Sales and Revenue
■ Recommend taking over the Springfield Oaks food and beverage operations.
■ Integrate a food within the rounds pricing and capitalize on the grill at the turn
and restaurant inside
■ Hire a Special Event coordinator/sales team.
■ Set up a hot line that takes in all catering and special event calls for prompt
service.
■ On the home page of the golf course website, offer golf packages that include
food within them (Add $5 to the green fee that includes lunch).
November 2013 — Oakland County Master Report

➢ Design and Operations
■ Redesign in the Springfield main restaurant so that it includes an L shape bar
near the foodservice window.
■ Put a grill at the turn house and begin cooking fresh product to order at the turn.
While coordinating with presales in the pro -shop, marshals in the field and GPS
programs.
■ Set up a centralized hotline that takes in all catering and special event calls for
prompt service.
■ Answering the phone as people call the course, promoting on the phone food
and beverage specials.
■ On the home page of our website, we can sell golf packages that include food
within them.
■ Create specials that will separate each location from each other. We still
compete with normal restaurants with a slight captive audience. Fish fry Fridays,
Taco Tuesday or Mustache Mondays can create excitement with regulars and
new participants.
➢ Customer Service
■ Develop a stronger connection with men's and women's leagues to stay longer
through food and beverage incentive programs
➢ Vendor
■ With continued open communications and desired direction, we should see
results.

■ Grill room/ Bar looks like a hallway that services the golfers
■ Layout of kitchen is of need of a minor re -organization and specific equipment to
make it more efficient.
➢ Sales
■ Below average golfer spending. National average is $5.88, we are at $4.18.
■ Golfers are becoming the low priority compared to the banquet services.
■ There is minimal effort to market the location beyond word of mouth.
➢ Vendor
■ Vendor who operates/owns a facility 4 miles away offers similar menu and banquet

Recommendations
➢ Sales
■ Brand restaurant with signage on main entrance on street or on the building. There
is a lot of foot traffic that is not aware of the offerings at the course.
➢ Design and Operations
■ Build a simple outdoor grill operation at the turn of the course; we recommend next
to the maintenance building.
■ Build out the pro -shop area to create a sports and bar/restaurant experience.
o The current grill is hidden between the pro shop and the banquet hall. It has the
look and feel of a temporary area for the golfers without providing a welcoming,
"please stay" atmosphere.
o Expanding the pro shop into the grill area and designing it to attract the golfers
will yield an increase to length of stay and spending.
o Brand this location and hang pictures of frequent golfers on the course, giving
them an actual golf grill location.

Current challenges
➢ Sales
■ Operator has not put full efforts into marketing the facility.
■ The facility has not reached its full capacity for bookings and support.
➢ Vendor puts no money and minimal marketing effort into the facility. Vendor relies on
word of mouth as its main advertising.
➢ Design
■ The kitchen is showing its age and is of need of a remodel.
• If the facility reaches full capacity, the kitchen will be unable to handle the
demand.
Recommendations
➢ Sales
■ Completing the negotiations with the vendor to maximize the counties revenue.
■ The County should avoid getting into an exclusivity clause and keep a first right
refusal position on the property.
■ County begins to schedule classes or events to bring in extra revenue during the
off times from the special events.
➢ Design
■ Recommend begin planning for a more efficient kitchen to be designed; one that
includes more energy efficient systems.
■ Both vendor and the county should complete the remodel of this venue as soon
as possible. The "tired" look of this beautiful location is hurting the future
banquet sales
➢ Vendor
■ Create a stronger contract that closes the gaps on the vendor.
o Maintenance clauses that have the vendor help with maintenance costs
o If vendor under performs or does not complete responsibly a penalty or
charge them for the services the County had to take care with an
additional cost.
o All revenue that is generated by the vendor (service charge, off site
events) should be part of the commissions that are paid to the county.
■ Bi-monthly meetings with the county to support and create better
communications on key topics such as maintenance, marketing, customer
service, bookings and operations.

Conclusion
Oakland County Parks and Recreation has one of the largest park operations in Michigan, and it
is maintained exquisitely. Profitable Food Facilities was brought on board to review the food
and beverage throughout the Oakland County Parks and provide recommendations on how the
county can improve its financial situation with all of the food operations in the county.
Based upon our findings, the starting point for the county to increase revenues is the waterpark
operations. This will allow the park district to "get your feet wet" in managing a food and
beverage operation since waterparks are the easiest to manage, are seasonal by nature and
have the most potential profit in a short period of time. With good planning and a sound menu,
we estimate that the Oakland County Parks could generate over $150,000.00 in operating
income annually (1.5 million over 10 years) from these two waterpark concessions alone. This
is a conservative estimate.
Adding Marketing and Group Sales to each of the waterparks and having one central phone
number for reservations to all of the facilities will also increase revenues and save on expensive
labor costs. Adding fresh concepts that are branded specifically for each waterpark location will
provide a huge improvement and quick cost recovery.
The opportunity at the golf operations focuses around bringing the food and the whole cooking
experience out to the guests. Cooking outside on a grill "at the turn" at all of the golf operations
on days with over 100 rounds, regardless of who is operating will significantly increase F&B
revenue. The guest can see the delicious food, smell the food cooking, hear the sizzle of the grill,
touch and taste the finished product. This will also separate you from the competition and give
the guest one more reason to come to your golf operations. Finally, having a dedicated F&B
person brought on board by the county to oversee all of these operations, and ensure customer
satisfaction, would create the management needed to oversee these operations.
Profitable Food Facilities realizes that there are short term and long term recommendations
within the report and would love the opportunity to assist the Oakland County Parks and
Recreation Commission in any way to ensure that any choice they make results in the successful
development of each location. We hope that the information inside this report is helpful in your
decision making process and can answer any questions you may have regarding this report and
our visit.
Sincerely,
Michael Holtzman

PURPOSE OF UPDATE: Master planning process update is intended to provide a structure and schedule for staff to provide park master planning deliverables to
the Commission and to request input and/or decisions from the Commission.
PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT— PROPOSED OCPRC PHILOSOPHY
The Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission invite the public and stakeholders to contribute to the Park Master Planning Process and will consider
public and stakeholder input in the decisions they make about the park. On behalf of the Parks Commission, staff extend this invitation through the entire
planning period, with structured opportunities for public engagement featured at each phase of the Master Planning Process (see chart above). Staff is
committed to providing participants with the information they need to participate and communicating back to them how their input has affected decisions.
The public is defined as the residents of Oakland County, which includes — but is not limited to — the users of the park undergoing master planning. Stakeholders
are defined as individuals and groups with a specific interest in the park. Examples include: local community elected officials and staff; state and county
agencies; recreational user groups; land conservation and watershed groups; businesses and their employees; and other recreational providers.
The mission of the Parks Commission is relevant to all the residents of Oakland County. It is important to understand the individual park both locally and in
relation to the entire Parks system and to plan for the park's future within the context of the recreational needs of all of Oakland County. Therefore many of the
public engagement opportunities involve park users and others who are potentially affected by or interested in a decision, while other opportunities seek input
on a county wide basis — including those who do not currently use the park. A variety of public engagement methods are used with the intent of welcoming a
diverse array of people and interest groups to participate.

Red Oaks Park Vision and Facility Concepts 2013-2022
Parks Commission Approval Date: March 6, 2013
Park Trails and Non -Motorized Access Facility Concept
Maintaining neighborhood connectivity has long been a priority at
Red Oaks. The original Golf Course design incorporated a covered
walkway, which is still in use and connects the neighborhoods on
either side of the Golf Course. A tunnel under the walkway
accommodates golf carts. Red Oaks trails and pathways, both
existing and proposed, are reflected on Madison Heights' pathways
plan. Red Oaks' role in the pathway network is further amplified by
its location in a dense urban area with connections to public transit
and local businesses.
Within Red Oaks, the Golf Course is open to the public in the winter
months for cross-country skiing. Perimeter mileage is identified in
the Dog Park individual dog runs for the purpose of walking and
running along the inside of the Dog Park fences. The Suarez Friendship Woods (surrounding the Red Oaks Nature
Center) contains 1.3 miles of paved trail with gate entrances to the neighborhoods on the east side of the park.
Facility Vision
The Park Trails and Non -Motorized Access vision focuses on enhancing connectivity, where feasible and justified by
need, to both local and proposed regional trail and pathway networks. This includes coordination, where
applicable to Red Oaks, with the City of Madison Heights as they complete their citywide pathways plan. The Red
Oaks facility concept for trails and non -motorized access is supported by the Recreation Plan's action plan for trail
planning and development (OCPRC, 2013, pp. 20-21).
Facility Development
■ Evaluate the feasibility of the proposed grant -funded connector trail project on the east side of the park.
■ Coordinate with Madison Heights as they complete pathway sections on the west side of the Golf Course
or on adjacent land west of the Golf Course
■ Coordinate with Macomb County Planning and Economic Development and the City of Warren to evaluate
potential connectivity with Macomb County's Trail Plan
■ Evaluate the need for improvements to the Suarez Friendship Woods trail system
Programming
■ Continue to collaborate with local communities to participate in
walking and running events that incorporate Red Oaks' facilities.
■ Explore innovative ways to use Red Oaks facilities for walking,
running and cross-country skiing
Business Strategies
■ Developing greater connectivity with local and regional pathway
networks will increase the accessibility of Red Oaks and will
have a positive impact on the attractiveness and value the City
of Madison Heights offers to residents and businesses

Dear Chairman Fisher and Commissioners:
The Oakland County Fair Board would like to request permission from the Oakland County
Parks and Recreation Commission to obtain a temporary liquor license for the Michigan
Antique and Collectible Festivals to be held at Springfield Oaks County Park two weekends
in 2014 — May 2-4 and October 3-5.
We are excited to have such large events at Springfield Oaks. We hope it will bring several
thousand people to the grounds and the surrounding area businesses, as it has done for
many years at its current location in Midland.
The sale of craft beer would tie into the local feel and artisan nature of the event. These
sales would be a fundraiser for the fair. The commission has previously approved similar
alcohol sales to benefit our fair.
The Oakland County Fair Board, as in the past, would meet all the insurance and other
requires set forth by the commission. We will uphold the high standard of the Oakland
County Parks.
Please feel free to call or email me with any questions.
Thank you,
L.C. Scramlin

BS& D AND ADMINISTRATION
To: Chairman Fisher and Commission Members
From: Daniel J. Stencil, Executive Officer
Phil Castonia, Business Development Representative
Submitted: March 26, 2014
Subject: Oakland Parks Foundation Proposed Office Lease —Amendment #1
INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY
OCPRC staff had executed the lease of a portion of the Ernst House at Waterford Oaks County Park to the
Oakland Parks Foundation for use as office and meeting space April 1, 2013. The lease was drafted with the
assistance of Corporation Counsel. Rental rates were based on the square foot value previously established by
Oakland County Property Manager Mike Hughson.
The opportunity to lease the Ernst House is only being extended to the Oakland Parks Foundation due to the value
created by having the Foundation activities coordinated in close proximity to OCPRC staff. The Oakland Parks
Foundation is also helping to coordinate the investigation into the historical value of the Ernst House (ca. 1870) in
partnership with the Oakland County Historical Commission and the Waterford Schools History Center.
The Foundation has since struggled to received donations and revenue to help support the current lease structure. Staff
is bringing a proposed amendment to this lease under the request from the Foundation (see attached request). The
proposed amendment reduces the amount of space leased to the Foundation from 717 sq. ft. of multiple rooms and
meeting space to a single office of 112 sq. ft. Oakland County Property Management Specialist Paul Zachos has done
a market assessment of rental office spaces in the area and has recommended the monthly rent be adjusted to $150 for
the 112 square feet with Oakland County Parks paying the utilities. (A diagram is on the next page.)
Staff plans to expand the Park's use of the facility to include use of the restrooms for Greenhouse participants, from the
current model of a port-a-john, and also potential staff office and work space.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adopting the attached resolution in support of the lease amendment, which will be forwarded to
the Oakland County Board of Commissioners for final approval.

Mr. Gerald -Fisher .
Chairman Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission
2800 Watkins Lake Road
Waterford, MI 48326-1917
Dear Mr. Fisher,
As you are aware, the Oakland Parks Foundation Board met last evening at the Ernst farm house
for our monthly scheduled business/progress/planning agenda.
Among the many items we dealt with was the back rent item we incurred in 2013. The Board
approved payment of the arrearages. A check was cut and signed in payment to the Oakland
County Parks'
In our discussion, the rental rate we had agreed to of $500.00 per month was for the entire Ernst
house. Our current needs are much less. An office space is all we require at this time. We are
asking for a commiserate reduction in our rent at this time to $78.00 per month retroactive from
yearend 2013.
Since the Executive Director has resigned; our needs, at least for the near future; are limited.
Thank you, Gerry, for your support and consideration of our request.
Sincerely,.
Daniel F. Travis
President 'Oakland Parks Foundation

EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S REPORT
ITEM # 9 D
1. Upcoming Events: Attached for your information is a list of upcoming events and programs scheduled by
the Recreation Programs and Services and park staff.
Springfield Oaks - Ellis Barn: We have been advised that the Michigan Barrier Free Design Board
(MBFDB) hearing on the Ellis Barn exemption on the Vertical Platform Lift (VPL) was held on
March 21, 2014. The State's final order from this hearing will not go out for approximately two weeks. We
will advise the Commission when we receive the final decision on the request. At this point we plan to
place the request for the Final Amended Motion on the Ellis Barn on the May 7, 2014, OCPR Commission
agenda. If approved by the MBFDB, the temporary exception would grant OCPR 60 months to comply with
barrier free requirements; current plans to comply are to install a vertical platform lift inside the barn.
3. National Volunteer Week: Attached to this report is a listing of programs that will occur the week of
April 5-13, 2014, which is National Volunteer Week. A letter will be sent out to OCPR volunteers along with
this listing advising our volunteers of participating organizations in Southeast Michigan that will be offering
volunteers from other groups discounted or free admission to their attractions. OCPR will participate with
free entry at Addison, Highland, Independence, Lyon, Orion, Red Oaks, and Rose Oaks. Volunteers from
reciprocating agencies will be given free access when they provide appropriate identification and
documentation.
4. OCPR Naturalist Position: After extensive interviews we have offered the Naturalist position to one of the
interviewees and the candidate has accepted. This person will provide nature education and their office
will be located at the Red Oaks Nature Center. Once all the hiring procedures are finalized we will bring
the candidate to the Commission meeting in order to be introduced to the Commission.
5. Red Oaks Nature Center Operations Update -Summary: As a result of the inquiries from the
Commission at the recent meetings regarding Red Oaks Nature Center, included with this report is an
update from Sue Wells, Manager of Parks and Recreation Operations, on the Red Oaks Nature Center
Operations.
6. Glen Oaks Bridge Replacement #13: Staff is currently working on final design/permitting for
replacement of existing two -culvert bridge with a new golf cart/maintenance bridge crossing the pebble
creek drain at Glen Oaks Golf Course, near the irrigation pond dredge project site. Staff is working with our
annual survey/engineering consultant, Giffels Webster Engineer and Construction Manager Frank Rewold
and Sons to finalize the design and conceptual budget. Current Capital Improvement Budget is
$140,000. Staff will bring this project for conceptual approval at the May 7, 2014, Commission
Meeting. Upon approval, staff and consultants will proceed in obtaining construction bids for Commission
approval in July or August. Staff anticipates beginning construction in September of 2014.
7. MRPA Community Service Awards: On March 19, 2914, the Michigan Recreation and Park Association
held their Community Service Awards Ceremony. Two awards were presented on behalf of the Oakland
County Parks and Recreation. The first was presented to Oakland County Health Division, and the second
was presented to the Clinton River Area Mountain Bike Association. A copy of the program for that
evening has been included with this report.
8. Service Portfolio Update: With the initial cost recovery assessment and service portfolio documents
drafted, staff has been working with Green Play on compiling everything into a final report, including
95
several draft policies. Due to schedule conflicts and continued uncertainty with the staffing at GreenPlay,
staff is currently projecting a draft Service Portfolio Report and draft policies to be presented to the
Commission at the June meeting. However, if GreenPlay is unable to meet this goal, we will be looking at
the August meeting as the next time they are able to come to Oakland County to present the report. Staff
would like to work closely with the Commission on the creation of the recommended policies, including a
revised Pricing Policy (to include cost recovery and resource allocation), revised Sponsorship and
Partnership policies, and a Scholarship/Recreation Assistance Partnership Program Policy.
9. Past Due Rent Payment Received: With the assistance from Ahmad Roby from Corporation Counsel, we
have received another payment on the past due rent from former tenants that lived in the house at
Independence Oaks. We will keep you updated on this matter as future payments occur.
