RETURN TO AGENDA Oakland Couny Parks and Recreation Commission Agenda Item Memo Agenda #: 1 Department: Facilities Maintenance- Natural Resources From: Kegan Schildberg: Natural Resources - PCC Subject: Motion to Approve Natural Resources FY2022 Contracted Burn at Independence Oaks INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY As part of the Oakland County Parks & Recreation — Natural Resources Management (NR) program, staff plan to invest $30,000 in budgeted funds for approximately 91.5 acres of prescribed burns at Independence Oaks. Proposed work in the park will exceed $20,000 and therefore require OCPRC approval. Burns are planned based on a rotation with other land management work - invasive species physical and chemical control, winter forestry mowing and native seeding. Altering the burn schedule requires other NR management activities to be re -adjusted and reduced to wait for burns. Due to variable weather conditions and budget management, typically 75% of planned prescribed burns are completed annually. Independence Oaks has missed several burn rotations due to weather conditions, covid, etc., and thus necessitates extra attention this year to make up for multiple missed burns. The proposed work will be completed by annual blanket contractor Dave Borneman LLC. FUNDING NR has $501,000 budgeted for Natural Areas Stewardship, including prescribed burning and invasive species spraying, in 2022. Approval is requested for cost centers that exceed $20,000. ATTACHMENTS Attachment A — Independence Oaks Burn Map STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval to award Dave Borneman LLC., the priority prescribed burn work for a not to exceed project amount of $30,000 as budgeted in the FY2022 Natural Resources Maintenance Program.

Page 8 of 8 OAC LICENSE AGREEMENT 02-15-22 RETURN TO AGENDA Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission Agenda Item Memo Agenda #: 6 Department: NATURAL RESOURCES From: Melissa Prowse, Manager Kegan Schildberg, Natural Areas Stewardship Subject: Renewal of MDNR Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances Certificate of Inclusion for the Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY The Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake (EMR) was listed as a federally threatened species under the Endangered Species Act in 2016. Oakland County has been a stronghold for the Massasauga, which has been documented at 7 Oakland County Parks, with breeding populations of snakes confirmed at 2 parks. Historically, while incidental take (killings) of Massasauga on park properties has been limited, it has occurred. The Incidental Take Permit (ITP) associated with Michigan Department of Natural Resource's Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances (CCAA) for the Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake outlines a process for "participants" to partake in the CCAA. Upon listing of the EMR, the Michigan DNR's Incidental Take Permit, which was issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), became valid. To be included under the CCAA, a prospective partner must provide an Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake Implementation Plan (EMRIP). The Plan is reviewed by the DNR and the FWS to ensure that the EMRIP is consistent with the CCAA. After the EMRIP is approved and signed, the partner will sign a Certificate of Inclusion (CI), in which the partner agrees to abide by the EMRIP, ITP, and the CCAA. In return CI -holding participants will receive Incidental Take Permit coverage (no penalties or fines if rattlesnakes are accidentally killed during regular maintenance and operations activities). Oakland County entered into the Certificate of Inclusion in March of 2017 — the current certificate expires on March 10, 2022. Oakland County Parks and Recreation, Oakland County Aviation Division, and Oakland County Facilities Maintenance and Operations collaborated to create the DNR-approved County of Oakland Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake Implementation Plan (EMRIP). OCPRC is seeking to renew the Certificate of Inclusion in the MDNR's EMR CCAA for another 5-year term. OCPRC is also adding 4.46 additional acres to the EMRIP (two small parcels acquired at Addison Oaks in 2019) to ensure that it is covered as managed lands. ATTACHMENTS 1.

EASTERN MASSASAUGA RATTLESNAKE CANDIDATE CONSERVATION AGREEMENT WITH ASSURANCES PERMIT NUMBER TE 03982C-0 This certifies that lands enrolled by the County of Oakland, the Participating Landowner, and described in the attached Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake Implementation Plan (EMRIP) are included within the scope of Permit Number TE 03982C-0, held by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) and issued on August 12, 2016, under the authority of Section I0(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, 16 U.S.C. 1539 (a)(1)(B). The MDNR's permit authorizes incidental take of eastern massasauga rattlesnakes by Participating Landowner, as part of the MDNR's Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances (CCAA), when implementing specific land management activities, identified in Section 7 of the CCAA, on enrolled lands to benefit eastern massasauga rattlesnakes. Pursuant to the MDNR's permit, this Certificate authorizes the Participating Landowner for incidental take of eastern massasauga rattlesnakes that may result from otherwise lawful land management activities, subject to the terms and conditions of the MDNR's permit, the MDNR's CCAA and the Participating Landowner's EMRIP. By signing this Certificate of Inclusion, the Participating Landowner agrees to carry out the conservation measures described in the attached EMRIP. Due to the voluntary nature of this agreement, the Participating Landowner may withdraw from this agreement at any time without penalty, with 30 days' written notice of its intent to terminate this agreement. Upon withdrawal from this agreement, the Participating Landowner must give the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service an opportunity to relocate affected species, including reasonable access to the property subject to this agreement, within 60 days of the notice (Section 14.4 of the CCAA). This Certificate is considered approved on the date of the final signature and continues through the end of the terms identified in the attached EMRIP. If this CCAA is modified at any time in the future, those modifications will not be required of landowners who possess a Certificate of Inclusion at the time of the modification, unless mutually agreed upon by the MDNR and the Participating Landowner.

As an alternative, we will incorporate it within your regular Commission meeting in April. Any non -essential business items or reports on the April agenda will be rescheduled to a later meeting. Federal Funding Proposal The proposal approved at your last meeting to create a Healthy Communities Parks and Outdoor Recreation Fund and reserve $15 million in Oakland County American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding is moving forward. A resolution will be introduced at the February 24t" meeting of the Board of Commissioners with the bipartisan sponsorship of 16 Oakland County Commissioners. The Board has tentatively scheduled consideration before committee on March 15t" with a final vote on March 24t" If approved, this proposal will provide a limited window to develop and present projects/initiatives for approval. The reservation of funding for this purpose will automatically expire on December 31st and the unobligated balance will become available for other purposes. Working within this timeframe will necessitate rapid decisions on the list of project proposals that Parks will pursue. Staff is developing a list of potential capital improvement projects for major investments at Waterford Oaks, Red Oaks and Catalpa Oaks. We are also reaching out to local leaders representing disproportionately impacted, low- 2800 Watkins Lake Road, Waterford, MI 48328 248-858-0906 OaklandCountyParks.com income communities (as defined within ARPA guidelines) to assess potential partnership opportunities to utilize one-time funding to expand recreational access for residents. Facility Improvement Analysis This Commission approved a motion at your last meeting to postpone action on a proposed Capital Improvement Project pending a report on the use of park facilities. Planning staff are developing a new process that will provide the Commission with recommendations based on an assessment of the use of facilities, cost recovery performance and the utility of the structure to support core recreational services. We hope to bring this process to you for your consideration at the April Commission meeting. 2 QAKLAND COUNTY PARKS GreatYaiksfor GreafPeople Memo To: Parks and Recreation Commission From: Chris Ward, Director Date: March 2, 2022 Re: Preliminary List of ARPA Project Proposals — Park Development/Local Partnerships A resolution has been introduced by Chairman McGillivray with the support of 17 of his colleagues to approve the creation of a Healthy Communities Parks and Outdoor Recreation Fund with a total of $15 million in Oakland County American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds reserved to fund eligible projects. The resolution is tentatively scheduled for consideration before committee on March 15th with a final vote on March 241h. Authorization to fund and move forward with projects within this fund must be approved by a separate resolution of the Board with a narrow window of action until December 31". At that time, any unobligated funds will be reverted back for other uses. The US Department of Treasury (DOT) has issued a final rule detailing the guidelines for the expenditure ARPA funding. Express authorization for improvements to park, trail and recreational facilities should be targeted to serve communities where underlying factors (economic, health, social, environmental, etc....) conditions contributed to a disproportionate COVID impact. DOT provides some discretion to local governments to establish criteria to determine communities that meet this threshold with express authority for communities designated as Qualified Census Tracts by HUD or below 65% of area median income. Any capital expenditure in excess of $1 million must be pre -approved by DOT for conformance with federal guidelines. Oakland County has also established a list of criteria to evaluate project proposals. These are: • Correlation to Pandemic Response and Recovery • Equity and Addressing Disproportionate COVID-19 Impacts • Transformational Impact • Leveraged and Coordinated • Sustainable and Effective • Efficient Working within this window and under this restriction necessitates a highly expedited decision -making process to develop a list of project proposals. Additional pressure to act quickly is also a factor in making the case for approval of the resolution and to take advantage of opportunities for additional federal, state, local and private funds to meet the leveraging objective. Our Parks team have been working together to get a jump start on this process and have developed a "menu" of potential projects for your consideration. We would like to gauge your interest and support for pursuing these projects further. Capital Investments in Oakland County Parks Our increased millage has put OCPR back on a strong fiscal foundation and increased our ability to address long delayed maintenance projects and increase funding to assist local communities. Working within these parameters provides very limited opportunities to make major investments to address inequities in our park system and develop new amenities. Parks have identified three (3) priority parks that are in need of major investments and align with the objectives set for ARPA spending: Catalpa Oaks, Red Oaks and Waterford Oaks. Our preliminary list of ideas for these parks are below. CATALPA OAKS Remove underutilized baseball fields and replace with nature area, walking paths Develop a destination playground or spray/splash pad Making improvements to parking lot with environmentally responsible stormwater demonstration project RED OAKS Option A: Convert golf course to alternative use Utilize space to develop nature trails, disc golf, improved dog park, spray/splash pad, playground Option B: Invest in water use reduction irrigation plan for golf course Improve dog park at current location Explore additional waterpark feature with limited staffing needs Expand trail network along golf course 2800 Watkins Lake Road, Waterford, MI 48328 248-858-0906 OaklandCountyParks.com WATERFORD OAKS Explore "pool dome" feature to facilitate year-round use of wave pool Develop destination playground/ spray/splash pad Develop dog par 'k Develop winter feature Improve trails to facilitate hosting Sk race events Mobile Recreation Invest in mobile nature center vehicle. Explore options to improve transportation accessibility to our parks. Staffing Develop a scholarship incentive pilot program for seasonal workers. Partnerships with local governments Make targeted one-time investments in partnership with targeted local governments to improve recreation facilities and access. Target communities would meet ARPA eligibility criteria and are underserved by our Parks. Explore option to make bulk purchases of recreational equipment. Explore ParksRx program in partnership with health care providers, expand access to outdoor fitness. 3 QAKLAND COUNTY PARKS GreatTe.krfor Great-Peop!e Memo To: Parks and Recreation Commission From: Chris Ward, Director Date: March 2, 2022 Re: Authorization to make equipment purchases The authorization process to expend funds for equipment is proving to be a limiting factor for staff to act in an environment of limited supply and rising prices to address long deferred equipment needs in our parks. Our current policy prohibits action on purchases over $20,000 prior to authorization by the Parks Commission. Staff brought this concern to the Executive Committee last month and were directed to return with recommendations based on best practices. Oakland County government utilizes the following procedures: • Capital Equipment budget development process begins in November for the following Fiscal Year. • Equipment requests are presented to the Commission for approval within the budget process. • Approved Capital Equipment can be purchased at the beginning of the fiscal year (Oct 1) • Approved Capital Equipment purchases are made within the Oakland County Purchasing competitive bidding process and procedures. • Capital Equipment approved can be purchased without another approval if the approved total budget is not exceeded. No limit on expenses for approval if within the budget. • Equipment that was not approved requires Commission approval to purchase, even if within total budget. This applies to both a piece of equipment being changed for something different, even if within budget and purchasing a piece of equipment with remaining unused funds after all equipment is purchased. Staff are requesting your consideration to approve a change in our authorization process to conform with Oakland County procedures. 2800 Watkins Lake Road, Waterford, MI 48328 248-858-0906 OaklandCountyParks.com -s COUIrI( K •d'F rAi a u Q=Fr Croveland O� . �r GETk DAILY DOSE OF Oakland County Fanners Market ...

Technical expertise within the unit includes branding, media relations, social media, photography, videography and e-marketing. The unit develops content for internal and external communications, social media, news releases, website, advertising, brochures, award nominations, park signage and public -facing publications (print and digital). FY2021 was unique year due to the pandemic. OCPR saw increased usage of its trails, campgrounds and golf courses. Restrictions in place for COVID-19 did limit special events, moved programming outdoors and reduced reservations for picnic shelters and banquet spaces. Messaging and promotions/awareness were altered for operations/programming due to COVID-19. General awareness of the parks system and its amenities were promoted. Ads were placed in the Michigan Golf Association Directory to promote the five golf courses, camping trade publications to promote the two campgrounds, edible WOW and Michigan Gardener magazines to promote the Oakland County Farmers Market and Metro Parent Magazine's Pulse e-newsletter to connect with families for nature centers, Red Oaks Waterpark and the campgrounds. Printed materials were reduced as park locations and partners wanted to eliminate touch points. A strong social media presence with boosted events, news releases to media and increased e-marketing messages were key. We started converting the four-color brochure inventory to information cards featuring a QR code linked directly to OaklandCountyParks.com. Advantages include providing updated accurate information; driving traffic to the website; and lowering printing costs. • Due to lack of lifeguard staff, Waterford Oaks Waterpark was closed for the season. This messaging was conveyed via a news release, emails, social media and website content. 2 Below is a snapshot of the print, digital, e-marketing, social media and other high-level activity. In FY2021, the Communications and Marketing Unit facilitated 209,801 total contacts with an estimated reach of 4,705,793 to promote the parks system's parks, facilities, programs and special events.
