The dedicated funds support park improvement projects located in areas most disproportionally impacted by the COVID 19 pandemic. Projects were selected that would have the following community impacts:  Transform and eliminate historic inequities in the distribution of the benefits of the Oakland County Parks system and significantly enhance our capacity to serve residents of densely populated and diverse urban areas.  Expand accessibility and use of existing community park facilities to serve regional recreational needs.  Make investments in park infrastructure that will have the greatest impact in improving the health and wellbeing of our residents. Identified projects include improvements to the following existing OCP properties: Catalpa Oaks, Lyon Oaks, Red Oaks and Waterford Oaks. Long-term local partnerships that enhance community parks and expand the OCP system were established in Madison Heights, Oak Park, Pontiac and Southfield. Funding has also been allocated for capital grants and partnerships with local communities: Hazel Park, Royal Oak Township, Oak Park, Pontiac and Southfield.

The CISMA serving northwest Michigan, Northwest Michigan Invasive Species Network (ISN), developed an innovative program called Go Beyond Beauty that integrates nurseries, landscapers, garden professionals and the community into efforts to combat invasive species. The program is voluntary and provides support and recognition to businesses and home gardeners who commit to not selling or using high-threat invasive species. A state-wide grant has allowed ISN to offer the materials and program they developed to other CISMAs to serve as “hubs” for their service areas. Oakland County CISMA, and by extension OCP, would like to sign the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with ISN that designates us as a hub for Go Beyond Beauty. The program has no costs associated with hub designation/membership. Corporation Counsel has reviewed and approved the MOU language.

The current beverage cart is a maintenance cart being used for beverage services and is in need of repairs. Purchasing a cart that is designed for beverage services is preferable to expending funds on repairs for an older cart that is undersized and not designed for the application. The beverage cart is a revenue generating and customer service piece of equipment. It is utilized by park staff to sell beverages and snacks to the golfers at Lyon Oaks throughout the golf season, especially during peak times on afternoons and weekends. An electric option was explored but not available due to the weight of the equipment when fully loaded with ice, beverages, and staff. Run time is the limiting factor of the electric option because of the payload and distances traveled when it’s in operation. The requested beverage cart is a Club Car 2024 Café Express Beverage & Snack Center and would be purchased from Midwest Golf and Turf of Commerce Township, MI. Total expense for the beverage cart would be $23,956.00 and funding would come from the favorability in the remaining balance of the FY2024 Capital Equipment Budget.

These projects were selected to: •Align with the strategic goals and core values of OCP and our county government •Advance regional cooperation and resource sharing •Enhance recreational access to recreation amenities •Facilitate the development, expansion, maintenance and revitalization of park facilities and trails through intergovernmental partnerships •Create connections and enhance regional recreation facilities •Rejuvenate existing parks and recreation facilities in priority equity focus areas •Address gaps in access to outdoor fitness and health/wellness activities At the March 6 meeting, the Commission approved for staff to develop the necessary grant agreements and documentation to submit the projects for final approval by the Parks Commission and the Board of Commissioners. Rosie's Park is a 26.5-acre park in Madison Heights with walking trails, baseball, and trees. The proposed project is the construction of 8 pickleball courts. The location identified is an existing basketball court that needs refurbishment. The distance from this location to the nearest residential neighbor is 150 feet. There is a large densely wooded area to the southeast and some mature trees surrounding the courts which may provide minimal sound adsorption. The budget also does include additional landscaping for sound abatement. These courts are being proposed adjacent to a parking lot for easy access. Staff are recommending approval of grant funding in the amount of $75,000 from Oakland County Parks. The total project is approximately $351,000, and Madison Heights will cover the remaining $276K to complete the project. Madison Heights is hoping to begin the project in summer 2024 and have the project completed late spring 2025.

Those locations were pinned on an interactive map, displaying 42 unique locations representing 26 organizations. Oakland County Parks (OCP) contacted these organizations and was able to collect information about their courts and programs from over a dozen organizations, as well as information about the sport overall from a variety of online sources. Recommendation After evaluating the information provided by local area organizations, information provided by USA Pickleball and other sources, OCP does not recommend the installation of outdoor pickleball courts within residential areas as the noise from the game has a negative impact on quality-of-life for neighbors within 500 feet. Summary of findings Pickleball court information Pickleball courts, which are 20’x40’, are slightly more than a quarter the size of tennis courts, which are 38’x78’. Many tennis courts are being converted into pickleball courts, which allows for more simultaneous users as many existing tennis footprints can accommodate four pickleball courts to each tennis court. Outdoor courts should be oriented so that players will be facing north and south to avoid looking directly into the sun in the mornings and evenings. Pickleball noise The impact of a ball hitting a pickleball paddle has a frequency reported between 1,000 – 2,000 Hz and an average of 65-70 dB. These figures vary depending on the environment, external noise, humidity and other factors.

The majority of respondents have two, four or six courts per park. Only one respondent each reported having one, five or eight courts. Type of Courts Number of Courts per Park Pickleball specific courts Tennis courts with pickleball lines Some of both When asked what, if anything, organizations have learned since opening their pickleball courts or what they would have done differently, the following themes were identified: A desire to install more courts to help meet demand Ensuring that courts are enclosed and that wind and sound barriers are in place Experienced players were identified as potentially difficult as they often make inexperienced and beginner players feel unwelcome and have high expectations and demands for the courts Operation and Management Courts were reported to be utilized frequently or almost always by over 75% of respondents, with a few reporting about half-time usage. None of the organizations who responded noted accepting reservations for individuals, while some allow for league reservations. Most courts are open from sunrise to sunset, while a couple are open until after dark, and a few have specific hours. Very few organizations have pickleball equipment available. EXHIBIT A Oakland County Parks Pickleball Considerations Research summary - May 22, 2023 4 Almost always FrequentAbout half time Court utilization frequency Reservations accepted Equipment available Hours of operation Player Demographics The demographic information shown here is what was reported from the local organizations who responded to our pickleball inquiries. USA Pickleball also reported demographic findings in 2022 that support these findings and can be found on their 2022 Fact Sheet. Of the local respondents to our inquiry, 100% reported that their courts are most utilized by adults ages 55-74, with most reporting users 35-54 years of age the second most frequent users. Children are widely reported to utilize the courts the least. According to USA Pickleball, the top age group below represented core players who play 8 or more times annually, while the second age group below largely represented casual players, playing 1-7 times a year. Age groups utilizing courts most frequently Yes, it’s free Yes, for rent No Other: some programs, yes; $2 per set Yes No Sometimes Only leagues Other: registration required; leagues and classes, all other open play; in the process of implementing leagues 1. 55-74 years 2. 35-54 years 3. 75 years and over 4. 24-34 years 5.

Of all provided options, no organizations reported users who were Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, other Pacific Islander or Hispanic/Latino/a/x. Race/ethnicity of pickleball players reported by local organizations When asked if there were any barriers, either observed or reported, that prevented people from playing pickleball, the most selected response was that the courts do not have enough open availability to meet demand, with the second most selected response being a feeling of being unwelcome or unsafe on the courts. The other given options were infrequently or not identified as being barriers by any organizations. Barriers to play, reported or observed Feedback on pickleball noise Reports of noise complaints varied among respondents based on location of courts and surrounding neighborhoods. West Bloomfield reported that in a 40-acre park, pickleball “ruins” any quiet areas. Ann Arbor operates courts at 4 parks and report receiving noise complaints often, stating “We do get complaints from noise complaints regarding pickleball from various community members. Sunrise to sunset Open until 10-11pm Specific times Person does not own pickleball equipment Person does not have transportation to the courts Courts do not have enough open availability to meet demand Courts are not accessible to people of all abilities Person does not know the rules of play Person does not feel welcome/safe on the courts Other: includes: wind screen falls frequently EXHIBIT A Oakland County Parks Pickleball Considerations Research summary - May 22, 2023 6 Leslie Park is adjacent to the Leslie Park Golf Course, and you can hear the pickleball games going on from quite a distance on the course.” Below is a map of that park with court locations and proximity to neighboring residential areas. Beverly Hills, Orion Township and Troy reported receiving “some” noise complaints from neighboring residents. Below is an image of a park in Beverly Hills, the location of the pickleball/tennis courts and the distance to the adjacent neighborhoods. 1,214’ to residential Leslie Park Golf Course 6 pickleball courts Leslie Park (and Leslie Park Golf Course) 300’ Beverly Park (Beverly Hills) 170’to residential 1,214’ to a few residential Natural area-no residents ITC Community Sports Park -Novi Several municipalities reported never receiving noise complaints, however all reported that their courts did not have neighboring residences. Some of their feedback is below, along with an arial image (right) of one of the parks referenced. “They [the pickleball courts] are at the community center and not near any homes.” -Dearborn “Our courts are located in one of our largest parks and does not neighbor any homes or businesses.” -Ypsilanti “indoor courts- [noise abatement] not needed” -Springfield Township “Both sets of courts are set back in our parks where there is plenty of tree cover which limits sound from spreading too far.” -Novi EXHIBIT A Oakland County Parks Pickleball Considerations Research summary - May 22, 2023 7 Ambassador Park Recommendations Due to the extremely close proximity to neighbors on both the east and west park boundaries, OCP does not recommend the installation of outdoor pickleball courts at Ambassador Park. Ambassador Park is a seven-acre park on the south side of 13 Mile Rd., between John R. and Dequindre. There is a residential neighborhood of single-family homes on the west side of the park with homes as close as 120 feet from the existing tennis courts. There is also a residential apartment complex on the east side of the park with units as close as 140 feet from the courts. Ambassador Park tennis courts and proximity to neighbors Many of the local organizations who host pickleball courts in neighborhoods reported receiving noise complaints from their residential neighbors, all of which were located in parks where the closest neighbors were at least 300 feet away, more than double the distance from the neighbors at Ambassador Park. The City of Madison Heights does have noise ordinances that game play may violate. If pickleball courts were to be installed, sound testing from the park boundary would have to occur to ensure compliance. There are sound abatement options that are available which should reduce the perceived sound to the neighbors, though none would ensure compliance and all would block sight lines to the courts, creating enclosed spaces where monitoring would need to be closely considered. Alternative Ambassador Park Proposal As an alternative to the tennis court conversion to pickleball, OCP proposes a destination gathering hub that will include spaces and activities that appeal to seniors, children and people of all ages and abilities. Unique features draw people in, activate the area and encourage intergenerational engagement. Approximately 120’ Approximately 140’ Unique shade / pavilion Built in game areas/ ping pong Natural play elements EXHIBIT A Oakland County Parks Pickleball Considerations Research summary - May 22, 2023 8 Rosie’s Park Recommendations Rosie’s Park is a 26.5 acre park in Madison Heights with walking trails, baseball diamonds, basketball courts and many mature trees, including a heavily wooded border on the southeast edge of the park. The entire northern portion of the park shares its border with residential neighborhoods while the southern portion of the park is neighbored by two school properties. Oakland County Parks has identified three potential locations where pickleball courts could be installed, with the understanding that the noise from the game could be a disruption to the residential and educational neighbors. Professional sound testing should be administered to ensure compliance with applicable Madison Heights noise ordinances before any decisions for installation are made. See maps below for proposed locations and distance to bordering neighbors. Northern portion- Rosie’s Park Southern portion- Rosie’s Park A. This northernmost location is within 150 feet of the nearest residences but is separated by woods and has many surrounding trees. This location is adjacent to the existing playground and accessible by path to the northern parking lot. This location would require some tree removal and would not conform to the recommended court orientation of north to south. B. The existing basketball courts could accommodate six, or perhaps even eight, pickleball courts. The distance from this location to the nearest residential neighbors is 150 feet and has little vegetation between the two to serve as a sound buffer. There is, however, a large, densely wooded area to the southeast and some mature trees surrounding the courts which may provide minimal sound adsorption, however OCP would recommend alternative sound abatement in this location.

Civic Center Park shares a border with municipal buildings such as police, fire, library and the city offices. The entire western edge of the park borders Lamphere High School, and the remaining neighbors are classified as commercial, with the nearest residents at least 950 feet away and separated by other buildings, trees and open space. Oakland County Parks has identified two potential locations for pickleball court installation. Civic Center Park- proposed pickleball locations Oakland County Parks recognizes that noise from pickleball play could be a disruption to the residential, commercial, municipal and educational neighbors. Professional sound testing should be administered to ensure compliance with applicable Madison Heights noise ordinances before any decisions for installation are made.

It is situated between two sloped areas (see map with contour lines and proposed walking path below). The nearest neighbors are commercial, with Lamphere High School and municipal buildings over 600 feet away. B. This location is easily accessed from the parking lot and is near the playground, basketball courts and other park amenities. It is about 230 feet from both Lamphere High School and the police station. Both locations provide very little vegetation for sound absorption.

These projects were selected to: •Align with the strategic goals and core values of OCP and our county government •Advance regional cooperation and resource sharing •Enhance recreational access to recreation amenities •Facilitate the development, expansion, maintenance and revitalization of park facilities and trails through intergovernmental partnerships •Create connections and enhance regional recreation facilities •Rejuvenate existing parks and recreation facilities in priority equity focus areas •Address gaps in access to outdoor fitness and health/wellness activities At the March 6 meeting, the Commission approved for staff to develop the necessary grant agreements and documentation to submit the projects for final approval by the Parks Commission and the Board of Commissioners. A top priority for Springfield Township is to have safe and accessible access to parks. The proposed design would allow for a new, safe, and convenient pathway connecting one park to another by creating a new path in Rotary Park that will connect to the boardwalk that will go through the newly installed open bottomed culvert to connect with pathways in Mill Pond Park. The design will also provide the public with access to the restored Shiawassee River. Mill Pond Park is owned by Springfield Township. Rotary Park is currently owned by Oakland County Parks; however, it is anticipated that the County will be transferring ownership of the park to the Township at some point in 2024 or in early 2025 once the Mill Pond Dam removal and restoration project is completed. Staff are recommending approval of grant funding in the amount of $115,000 from Oakland County Parks. The total project is approximately $718,990, and Springfield Township has identified funds to cover the remaining $603,990 to complete the project. Springfield Township is hoping to begin the project in fall 2024 and have the project completed spring 2025.

As we have moved further along in this process, a few things have changed and/or are under further discussion, prompting staff to look at reallocation of funding based on shovel-ready projects, updated scope/budget information and shifting needs. Initially we had allocated $1.7M in improvements at the Red Oaks Nature Center including a new parking lot and teaching pavilion. As we have gotten deeper into the planning/design for Oak Park Woods at Shepherd Park in Oak Park and the Catalpa Oaks project, we have come to realize that project is under-funded at $2,250,000. This is not enough funding to put in a unique and exciting nature-themed playground, update pavilions and pathways, and build new restrooms. We are also in the middle of the Nature Education study which we are hoping will help guide the future of nature education and our nature centers, and let us be more intentional with future investment. Therefore, staff is recommending we move $1M of funding for the Nature Center parking lot and pavilion to the Oak Park Woods project to ensure we can develop this new space to its fullest potential and create a truly special experience for park goers. We’re also recommending the remaining $700,000 in that Nature Center project be split between the Catalpa Oaks ($250,000) and Lyon Oaks ($450,000) projects, which we have learned were both also under-funded. We’ll look at budgeting the nature center improvements in a future year once the nature education study is finalized and we have a clearer direction on the future of the nature centers. Staff is also recommending that funding from Waterford Oaks be allocated for the development of the new Bicentennial Oaks (“Vanguard Property”) park just south of the county campus off Telegraph Road. At Waterford Oaks we will focus on the Paradise Peninsula area, adding an incredible new playground to expand what’s currently there, as well as adding pickleball, a new plaza and pavilion area and an upgraded adult fitness area. Remaining funding could be allocated to Bicentennial Oaks to develop trail connections, a new disc golf course, and seating/picnic areas. Staff will have a better understanding of how much to reallocate in the coming months, but we are anticipating a minimum of $1M. As other project scopes and design begin to solidify, staff may request additional moving of funding between projects to ensure project success. An additional budget update for all projects is that we’re covering the park design (currently underway) for each park through our FY2024 admin budget. This has allowed us to redistribute funding in each project that was allocated for design, to use it for park development, bumping up project construction budgets by about 10% across the board. RETURN TO AGENDA In summary, staff are requesting the following: - Red Oaks Nature Center parking lot and pavilion project ($1.7M), funding re-directed as follows: o $1,000,000 to Oak Park Woods destination playground o $250,000 to Catalpa for parking lot/stormwater and new pavilion o $450,000 to Lyon Oaks to complete inclusive playground, install pickleball courts and access routes Potential future adjustments: - Staff is proposing re-allocating a portion of the Waterford Oaks funding to develop the new “Bicentennial Oaks” (Vanguard property) just south of the county campus on the east side of Telegraph Road – scope/budget still in-development - Potential additional adjustments between projects as final scopes and budgets are developed with our design team and construction management contractor Design/development concept plans will begin coming to the Commission for input beginning in June. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Parks Commission authorize the following adjustments of funding for Healthy Communities projects: - Red Oaks Nature Center parking lot and pavilion project ($1.7M), funding re-directed as follows: o $1,000,000 to Oak Park Woods destination playground o $250,000 to Catalpa for parking lot/stormwater and new pavilion o $450,000 to Lyon Oaks to complete inclusive playground, install pickleball courts and access routes MOTION Move to approve the following adjustments of funding for Healthy Communities projects: - Red Oaks Nature Center parking lot and pavilion project ($1.7M), funding re-directed as follows: o $1,000,000 to Oak Park Woods destination playground o $250,000 to Catalpa for parking lot/stormwater and new pavilion o $450,000 to Lyon Oaks to complete inclusive playground, install pickleball courts and access routes Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission Agenda Item Memo Agenda #: 8 Department: Administration From: Chris Ward, Director Subject: Management of 94.10-Acre Site at Vanguard Drive INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY Oakland County is the property owner of three parcels totaling 94.10 acres located to the south of County Service Center (Courthouse) and north of Vanguard Drive. The County Executive’s office has determined that this undeveloped land with the presence of wetlands should be preserved and that any future county building needs may be met elsewhere. As such, the County Executive supports transferring management responsibilities for this area to Oakland County Parks with the intention that it be utilized for public recreation and preservation of green space. Staff have conducted an initial assessment of the feasibility of creating a park at this site and are recommending that the Commission approve acceptance of management responsibility for the property. The majority of this property has remained undeveloped or dedicated to agricultural uses since it was first purchased by Oliver Parker, one of the earliest settlers of the area, in 1821. The western portion of the property remained a farmstead until the 1930’s and has since remained undeveloped. The eastern portion of the property included an orchard, undeveloped woods, and farm buildings that served the Eastern Michigan State Asylum (later renamed Pontiac State Hospital and the Clinton Valley Center), which was primarily located immediately to the south. According to the analysis of the legislation that provided for the land to Oakland County, “many acres of the property are covered by pristine woods…. Food was produced from crops and orchards grown on the site and by raising prize-winning cattle.” The state hospital was closed in 1997 and the structure were removed in 2020. The property has remained undeveloped since it was conveyed to Oakland County that year. A portion of the original property was exchanged with the City of Pontiac to assist with their plans to develop a technology park. This parcel was developed by MDOT as a regional service center. A park at this location would serve to preserve this green space while making it more accessible and available for public recreational enjoyment. Trailways at the park would be beneficial to county employees and the visitors to buildings at the county complex. There is also a strong potential to establish greater pedestrian connectivity to the Pontiac neighborhood to the east and south through future acquisitions and partnerships. The rich history of this land dates back to the founding of Oakland County’s government and is closely associated with the legacy of the institutionalized care of individuals with mental illness. Embracing and highlighting this history at the park will provide a valuable opportunity for us to serve educational as well as recreational benefits to our guests. In recognition of the historical significance of this property and its connection to our county’s history, staff are recommending that the name of the park be “Bicentennial Oaks” in recognition of the county’s milestone 200th year in 2020. The celebrations and activities planned for county’s bicentennial at that time were set aside due to the Covid-19 pandemic. RETURN TO AGENDA No acquisition is required to move forward as the county is already the landowner. A resolution of the Board of Commissioners would be needed to transfer management responsibilities for this land to Oakland County Parks. Your approval is needed to indicate our formal willingness to accept this responsibility and intention to maintain it for public recreational purposes. Staff are also recommending that the Commission authorize expenditures for the development of Bicentennial Oaks be authorized within the budget for Waterford Oaks improvements in the Healthy Communities (ARPA) be utilized. MOTION Move to authorize the acceptance of management responsibilities for the 94.10-acre property located on Vanguard Drive for the purposes of developing the site for public recreational purposes, that the name of this park shall be “Bicentennial Oaks”, and expenditures related to the development of the Bicentennial Oaks property be authorized utilizing funds budgeted in the Healthy Communities Plan. 14-19-351-010 81.20 acres 14-19-351-011 6.59 acres Bicentennial Oaks 3 parcels 91.1 acres Purposes: Open space preservation Watershed protection Connectivity with Pontiac and Waterford Township Recreation History of Oakland County Strategies: Transfer from Oakland County to OCP management Natural resources and wetlands management Identify green infrastructure and trail connections Identify compatible recreation uses such as trails and disc golf History interpretation including signage and programming Bicentennial Oaks History of Oakland County Retired Parcel 14-19-351-009 337.28 acres 1963 aerial shown Timeline: Indigenous connections from proximity to Saginaw Trail Homestead and agricultural use starting 1820 Agricultural uses associated with: Eastern Michigan Asylum (1878-1911) Pontiac State Hospital (1911- 1973) Clinton Valley Center (1973-1997) Part of designated site on National Register of Historic Places in1981 Buildings demolished in 2000 “This parcel of land is a perfect example of how land use has changed over time in Oakland County. Therefore, it offers a wonderful opportunity to highlight county history. It also offers a chance to commemorate the significant history of the Eastern Michigan Asylum which sadly has not been adequately done.” Carol Egbo, Oakland County Historian 14-19-351-010 81.20 acres 14-19-351-011 6.59 acres OC 88 Land History Compiled by Carol Bacak-Egbo Importance of the Land: This parcel of land is a perfect example of how land use has changed over �me in Oakland County. Therefore, it offers a wonderful opportunity to highlight county history. It also offers a chance to commemorate the significant history of the Eastern Michigan Asylum which sadly has not been adequately done. Overview: Before the land was sold to the state of Michigan for the Eastern Michigan Asylum it had been the farmsteads of more than one family beginning in 1821. The state acquired the land between 1891 and the 1930s so there is considerable history on the land before the acquisition. Once the land was part of the asylum it was used for orchards, farming and several other purposes. A wide variety of records relating to the land have been located including several historic maps, census records, probate records, photos, newspaper articles, etc. These have been used do document the history of the land. Like with any piece of land there are unanswered questions. As needed, answers to these questions can be investigated. Details: • Considering the loca�on and geography of the land there are likely Indigenous connec�ons to the land. • The first people to purchase the land were Oliver and David Parker who bought the land from the federal government in the early 1820s. Buildings that were likely part of the Parker homestead were evident on 1940 and 1963 aerial photographs. • Over �me the land became the farms of several families including the Parker, Burlingham, Wilcox and Hoover families. • Records show wheat, oats, barley, corn and other crops were grown on the farm. Livestock including horses, cows, pigs and sheep were owned. Several farms included a small orchard. • Beginning in 1891 parts of the land were sold to the State of Michigan and they became part of the Eastern Michigan Asylum. Records suggest that by 1940 all the land had become part of the asylum which had been renamed Pon�ac State Hospital. Much of the land was used for agricultural purposes including extensive orchards. • A rail spur, built in the 1870s, crossed the land and was Ini�ally used to transport building materials to the construc�on site -- lumber, windows, roof slate, furnishings, etc. It was then used for delivery of coal which heated and powered the hospital. • Records suggest the land included a chicken coop, bull barn, scalehouse, slaughter house, grain elevator, and ice house. Later these buildings were used for storage. These were part of the highly successful agricultural endeavors of the asylum. These buildings were destroyed when what was then called Clinton Valley Center was razed in 2000. • The western part of the OC land (labeled Parcel 1 in the detailed informa�on below) was the last to be sold to the state. In the 1920s a subdivision was plated on the land which included Henry and Leroy Streets. It appears the project was never completed because of the Depression. • In 1981 the land became part of the Eastern Asylum Historic District, a designated site on the Na�onal Register of Historic Places. • By the 1990s most ac�vity on the land had ceased and the buildings that s�ll existed were used for storage. • In 2000 the buildings of what was then called Clinton Valley Center were demolished. A residen�al area was developed on the southern part of the property( located in Sec�on 30 of Pon�ac Township) and Oakland County became the owner of much of the northern parts ( Parcel 1, Parcel 2 and Parcel 3 as labeled in the detailed informa�on below.) Land Overview: The OC land consists of the majority of the southwest quarter of sec�on 19 in Pon�ac Township plus a small sec�on of the southeast quarter of Sec�on 19. Based on land transfer records the OC land is best viewed as 3 Parcels. Note that the corresponding colors are used below in order to track each separate parcel more easily. Date/Year Event Documenta�on Pre-1800 A map showing what the geography of the land was probably like before 1800 shows it was mainly oak- hickory forest with a sec�on of wet prairie in the northern region. This suggests that early non- Indigenous setlers likely cleared the land of trees and drained the wet areas in order to farm. There is no current evidence that suggests that Indigenous People lived for any length of �me on the land. However, the fact that it is located less than ½ mile from the Saginaw Trail, one of the most significant Na�ve American trails in Michigan, increases the chance for Indigenous connec�ons to the land. For example, it may have been the site of a seasonal camp. c1800 vegeta�on map 1818 survey map 1818 On the 1818 survey map the land was described as: 1st half level and good – balance poor and hilly oak, lynn (basswood) This map also shows the existence of a small stream crossing the land. 1818 survey map 1822 Oliver Parker purchased the east half of the southwest quarter of Sec�on 19 (80 acres – Parcel 2 and Parcel 3).

Acreage report deed March 1, 1831 Oliver Parker died at age 37. No cause of death or burial informa�on has been located. News ar�cle from the Oakland Chronicle 1833 Alonzo Coman sold the W ½ of his land (about 40 acres – Parcel 2) to Harvey Seeley for $40 and the E ½ (about 34 acres- Parcel 3) to Hora�o Howard for $30. Harvey Seeley was an early setler in Waterford Township and owned several parcels of land. Howard was an early setler in Pon�ac. Neither of them appear to have lived on the land and were purchasing it for specula�on purposes. Acreage report deeds 1836 By 1836, Gideon Whitemore (a big land speculator) had obtained the land that Howard had purchased (Parcel 3) and sold it to Gershom Reed. Neither appeared to have lived on the land. Acreage report 1837 Harvey Seeley sold his land (Parcel 2) to Charles Hascall of Flint who was the father-in-law of Moses Wisner (see Wisner informa�on further down). Acreage report 1840 -1847 Parcel 2 goes back and forth between Hascall, Seeley and a man named Seeley Harger and in 1847 ends up owned by Phebe Burlingham whose surname is shown on the 1857 map. However, that map shows her owning the north half of Parcels 2 and 3. It should be just Parcel 2. Records indicate this is a mistake on the map. Acreage report 1857 map of Pon�ac Township 1840 Gershom Reed sold Parcel 3 to Solomon Close, an early non-Indigenous setler in Oakland County who had owned a tavern in Pon�ac and later the Na�onal Acreage report 1848 marriage record of Alvira Parker and Albert Chapman Hotel. He owned several parcels of land in Oakland County. Close owned the land for several years and appears to have rented it out at one �me to a farmer named Albert Chapman. Interes�ngly, Albert was the son-in-law of David Parker who owned Parcel 1. Chapman shows up on the land on the 1857 map of Pon�ac Township 1857 map of Pon�ac Township 1850 According to the 1850 census Levi and Phebe Burlingham and their 5 children were living and farming on Parcel 2.

A carpenter, Albert Chipman (likely a misspelling for Chapman), is also listed in their household. This was David Parker’s son-in-law who as stated above is shon on the 1857 map. Note that some of the Parker homestead buildings s�ll appear on a 1940 aerial photograph (see the red circle). According to the 1850 agricultural census the Parkers had 25 acres of improved land and 25 acres of unimproved land.

His estate was east of the OC land along what was then the Saginaw Turnpike) 1865 Phebe Burlingham sold Parcel 2 to Charles Kellogg likely due to her husband Levi’s death in 1864. Kellogg was a Waterford farmer who owned land that became Waterford Oaks. He never lived on Parcel 2. Acreage report 1866 Kellogg sold Parcel 2 to John E. Wilcox who is shown on the 1872 map Acreage report 1870 According to the 1870 census John E Wilcox, age 60, and his wife Harriet, age 45, were living on Parcel 2. The farm was valued at $15,000 so it had to have included land in addi�on to Parcel 2. The 1872 Pon�ac Township map shows a house in the southeast corner of the Parcel. The 1872 Pon�ac Township map shows a small piece of land in Sec�on 30 to the south of the White Lake Road that the Wilcox family also owned. This land had two houses on it. They also owned a triangle of land in sec�on 30 north of the White Lake Road. According to the 1870 agricultural census the Wilcox family had 60 acres of improved land. The cash value of the farm was $6000. They owned 2 horses, 7 cows and 4 pigs. They were growing wheat, corn, oats and potatoes. They had orchard products of 200 bushels and had made 600 pounds of buter that year. 1870 federal census 1870 agricultural census 1872 map of Pon�ac Township 1870 According to the 1870 census John Parker, his wife Abigail and 2 children are living on Parcel 1.

The cash value of the farm was $15,000. He owned 2 horses, 2 cows and 6 pigs. He was growing wheat, corn, oats and potatoes. He had orchard products of 50 bushels and had made 200 pounds of buter. Considering the value of the farm it is likely that at least three houses and several outbuildings were included in the value. 1870 federal census 1870 agricultural census 1871 The Close family sold Parcel 3 to Augustus Baldwin, a prominent lawyer, judge, major and Michigan legislator.

It is unclear whether or not they lived on the land – but they must have farmed it – because later when they sold the land they reserved the crop of wheat. Acreage report deed 1873 The Eastern Michigan Asylum was authorized by the Michigan Legislature. Na�onal Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomina�on Form Asylum: Pontiac’s Grand Monument from the Gilded Age by Bruce Annet, Jr. 1874 Pon�ac was chosen as the site for the new asylum. According to several sources this site “had the advantages of good soil for farming, a raised eleva�on that insured pleasant views, fresh air, and good drainage, wells would be able to supply ample fresh water, and it was adjacent to a primary railway line”. In addi�on, the people of Pon�ac included the land for the facility, up to 200 acres, at no cost. In the end over $20,000 was raised. Therefore, although property deeds show the land being sold by private sellers to the state of Michigan, the state did not pay the sellers. They were paid with the funds raised by the people of Pon�ac.

According to the 1880 agricultural census the Hoovers had 25 acres of �lled land and 30 acres of ‘old fields’ not being used. The cash value of the farm was $2500. The value of the machinery was $75 dollars and the value of their livestock was $400. They owned 4 horses, 5 cows, 3 pigs and 12 chickens. They had grown 12 acres of wheat, 4 acres of barley, 2 acres of corn, 4 acres of oats and ½ acre of potatoes. They had 1 acre of apple orchard which consisted of 25 trees. A note had been added to the census which stated the barn had burned a�er harvest and before threshing and the products count could not be es�mated. 1880 agricultural census 1881 The Hoovers sold the land (Parcel 1) to Louisa Brown for $3500.

The Gingrass family had a farm east of Pon�ac which they sold in 1881. Joseph Gingrass was a carpenter as well as a farmer and it is quite possible he worked on the construc�on of the asylum.

It appears to involve a default on a mortgage the Hoovers took out in 1881 Acreage report Oakland County Post ar�cle – default in 1884 – and the land was put up for sale in 1893 – Hillman was listed as the assignee of the mortgage in a news ar�cle.

Harris shows up on the 1896 map. Records indicate M. Harris was Mar�n Harris and M.J. Harris was Martha J. Harris. They owned a farm in Waterford in 1900 so it is likely they purchased Parcel 1 but never lived on it. Mar�n died in 1901. Martha was living in Redford, Michigan in 1910 a�er she sold Parcel 1.

Oakland Gazette, Vol. 34, No. 1, Winter 2001 Throughout the history of the Asylum According to Bruce Annet, author of Asylum, the hospital grew much of its own food, including chickens, catle, world champion dairy cows, and pigs. Also, apples, pears, melons, potatoes, pumpkins, and all manner of other vegetables were grown. Pa�ents were deployed to work the farm opera�ons which was considered therapeu�c rather than keeping them confined indoors.” Farming likely took place on Parcel 1, Parcel 2 and Parcel 3. Aerial photos, however, suggest that Parcel 1 was mainly used for orchards.

Oakland Gazette, Vol. 34, No. 1, Winter 2001 January, 2000 Ci�ng rising maintenance and security costs, the state allocated $5 million to raze the hospital. Demoli�on began in January of 2000. According to Bruce Annete, author of Asylum: “ I do believe the razing of the buildings was a loss for the community. They had poten�al for adap�ve reuse. In other communi�es, for example in Traverse City, they have a large (former asylum) complex that is being reused … it’s developing as an atrac�on. The buildings in Pon�ac were more ornate and interes�ng than the ones in Traverse City, however we’ve lost them here.’ Oakland Gazette, Vol. 34, No. 1, Winter 2001 Correspondence with Bruce Annet Royal Oak Tribune ar�cle: htps://www.dailytribune.com/2013/02/04/asyl um-district-in-pon�ac-long-gone/ Post 2000 According to Bruce Annete: “The area where they (the buildings) stood was bulldozed beyond recogni�on. The land was actually scraped clean and reconfigured. Now there is a residen�al development there.” It should be noted that the residen�al development was built on former state land in sec�on 30 of Pon�ac Township. The 88 acres of Oakland County land ( Parcel 1, Parcel 2 and Parcel 3) has remained vacant. Bruce Annet was asked if he believed there was any chance there might be founda�on or other historical structural elements le� on the former asylum land now owned by the county. He answered: You might find founda�ons but they might just be rubble stone. A�er all the buildings were razed, the following spring I walked the en�re site with Charlie Mar�nez (historian, archaeologist and vice president of the Oakland County Pioneer and Historical Society) and found a broken long-stem clay pipe right on the surface.

Election results over the past 30 years have consistently demonstrated the depth of support for recreation among county voters. Oakland County Parks millage elections: 1990 August Primary Election 59.3% 2000 August Primary Election 66.1% 2010 August Primary Election 76.4% 2020 November General Election 76.2% A mid-decade millage election to increase and extend the duration of our tax levy is a game changing opportunity to address many longstanding capital improvement needs beyond our financial reach, and to continue to pursue partnerships that enhance recreation in all regions of the county. Glengariff Group, Inc., a respected independent polling firm, conducted a survey at our request gauging the potential voter support for a millage proposal and their recreational priorities. The results of this survey demonstrate very strong voter support for the millage proposal and increased investment in recreation in every region of the county. Among the key findings: •Voter support began at 66% prior to being provided with additional questions and information. •Scaling back the millage request to a lower amount or shorter duration had no measurable impact in support. •Voters were likely to support a candidate that supports the millage proposal by a 2-1 margin and more likely to support a candidate that supported placing it on the ballot by a 3-1 margin. •Addressing access for individuals with special needs and conservation of natural areas elicited the strongest response. Other priorities discussed by the Commission also scored well. •Informing voters that the proposal is an 85% tax increase at twice the duration made no measurable impact in support. •After responding to additional questions and hearing both positive and negative messages, the final voter support indicates 68% would vote yes, 23% no, and 7.8% are undecided. This support carried through all regions of the county. At the last Commission meeting, we discussed numerous potential partnerships and specific projects that could demonstrate the positive impacts we could have with additional funding. Each RETURN TO AGENDA of these proposals are worthy of continued pursuit but it is evident in reviewing the survey responses that there is no need to expedite the announcement of any of these projects individually. We will continue to explore these ideas and lay the groundwork for action should the millage effort be ultimately successful. The .65 mill 20-year proposal would generate approximately $24 million in additional revenues annually and continue to grow with increases in taxable value. Roughly half of this amount would likely be committed to repayment of financing for a comprehensive park system improvement program. The remaining amount would be available to pursue a greater role in land conservation and stewardship, regional trailways, river recreation corridors, strategic partnerships, enhanced outdoor education programming, and other discretionary initiatives. Funding has been allocated in the FY 2024 Budget and the proposed FY 2025 Budget to implement an extensive non-advocacy public information effort in advance of the election. As written, the proposed ballot question would replace and increase our current millage at a higher rate of .65 with a millage duration of 20 years (expiring in 2044). A homeowner with a home with a market value of $200,000 would pay $65 annually to support this increased millage (or an additional $30). MOTION  Move to approve the attached resolution recommending to the Board of Commissioners the proposed millage proposal and ballot language for placement on the November 5, 2024 general election ballot. MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION 23-XXX IN RE: Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission – 2024 Millage Ballot Proposal To the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission Chairperson and Commission Members: WHEREAS it is the mission of Oakland County Parks to create and operate accessible, welcoming and sustainable parks and public spaces, provide recreational and educational opportunities, preserve open space and environmental stewardship, to help all people be healthier, and build resilient, connected communities; and WHEREAS Oakland County Parks’ vision is that everyone in Oakland County has access to a park, public space, or recreational opportunity to relax, be active, socialize and connect with nature; and WHEREAS high quality parks and recreational opportunities have been proven to contribute toward the economic prosperity of the region, support increased property values and improved quality of life for residents; and WHEREAS Oakland County Parks has provided more than $2 million in financial assistance and direct services benefitting 30 local governments and non-profit agencies in the past two years to support local recreation projects and natural resources stewardship; and WHEREAS chronic inadequate capital funding has limited Oakland County Parks’ ability to keep pace with needed repairs, renovations and replacement of facilities and amenities throughout the park system; and WHEREAS Oakland County Parks currently lacks the ability to access low-interest financing tools typically utilized by governments for major infrastructure projects due to the limited duration of its millage levy; and WHEREAS additional millage revenues will allow Oakland County Parks to eliminate all general park entry fees, providing residents with free access to more than 7,000 acres of parkland at 17 locations throughout the county; and WHEREAS additional millage revenues will be utilized to finance an estimated $100 million comprehensive park system revitalization and modernization plan to meet the needs of guests now and in the future. Funding will be utilized to update and enhance facilities, including trailways, waterparks, golf courses, campgrounds, playgrounds, dog parks, gathering spaces, athletic fields, farmers markets and general park infrastructure; and WHEREAS additional millage revenues will be utilized to ensure people of all abilities, ages and backgrounds have access to high quality recreational experiences; and WHEREAS additional millage revenues will allow Oakland County Parks to continue to pursue collaborative efforts and partnerships that result in improved recreational opportunities for residents and expanded services in all areas of the county; and WHEREAS additional millage revenues will be utilized to actively pursue the acquisition, conservation and stewardship of wetlands, green spaces, wildlife habitats and waterways that are at risk from development and destruction; and WHEREAS Oakland County Parks will utilize additional millage revenues to invest in new and expanded recreational opportunities for residents, including regional trailways, river recreational corridors, nature and farm education centers, new and expanded parks, and more; and WHEREAS extending the duration of Oakland County Parks’ millage to 20 years will facilitate improved long-term fiscal management and provide access to low-interest financing to sustain continual improvements to the park system; and WHEREAS the Parks and Recreation Commission respectfully requests the support of the Board of Commissioners and the County Executive to provide the voters of Oakland County with an opportunity to consider this millage proposal at the November 5, 2024, General Election. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission requests that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorize the placement the following ballot question on the November 5, 2024, General Election: To continue to provide revenue to the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission, shall the current millage, which has been reduced by required rollback, be replaced, and increased to .65 mills for 20 years from 2024 to 2043. The .65 mills is equal to 65 cents per $1,000.00 of taxable value. The millage, if approved and levied, shall generate approximately $52,191,139 in 2024. The purpose of the millage is to expand, improve, operate, maintain, and acquire parks, recreational facilities, open spaces, lakes, rivers, water areas, and trailways; to support nature education, recreational and outdoor educational and health programming; to support partnerships for access to and awareness of recreational lands and facilities; to promote the conservation and restoration of high-quality natural and wildlife habitats; and to allow free general park admission to all county parks for residents. Revenue from this millage shall be disbursed only to the County of Oakland to be used solely for the purpose of funding the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission and shall be subject to oversight by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners and to independent audit. Parks Director Recommended FY 2025 Budget Message Executive Officer’s Revised Financial Summary: Parks Director Message Enclosed are the proposed budgets for operations, capital equipment and capital projects for the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission for Fiscal Years 2025, 2026 and 2027. Parks and Recreation staff and Fiscal Services staff have prepared these budgets using results from the county-wide survey, the history of revenues and expenses, service demands, and outcomes from planning sessions with operational staff and the Commission. We continue to budget revenues on a conservative basis and expenses on a realistic basis. The Role of Strategic Planning Based on the OCPRC mission statement and the vision of being recognized as a world class parks and recreation agency, 100+ full-time, 700+ part-time staff and over 750 volunteers are committed to achieving the highest level of customer service using best practices. Initiatives are in place to provide outstanding services to nearly two million annual visitors; and to continue the maintenance needed to meet visitor expectations for maintained accessible and safe facilities. Internal operation changes have increased efficiencies. For example, staff salary and fringe benefits have been reallocated among budget units to reflect true costs for revenue pricing and cost recovery.

Recreation Programs and Services (RPS) partnered with the City of Pontiac, Detroit Sports Commission and Visti Detroit to support this family fun event in promotion of the draft coming to Detroit. OCP provided a bungee run, fowling and a parks booth. Families had a great time at the event. Restore in the Outdoors This year’s kickoff “Restore in the Outdoors” event was held on May 4th at Pontiac Oaks and Red Oaks in recognition of Mental Health Awareness month. Nature has many special gifts that can enhance our mental well-being – it gives us a sense that we are part of something greater than ourselves and can get us out of our own heads. Because time in the outdoors offers the benefit of mental rest and rejuvenation, it has been shown to improve memory, attention, impulse control, and creativity. Spending time outdoors can make us feel happier and healthier, and positively change our mental wellbeing. Participants at Pontiac Oaks had an opportunity to engage in activities such as yoga, hiking, bird watching, fishing, a nature table, and arts and crafts. Participants at Red Oaks were able to Forest Bathe, hike, and bird watch. Quiet Zone Tent Adaptive Recreation soft launched the Quiet Zone tent at last month’s The Great Marshmallow Drop that was held at Catalpa Oaks. This is a new sensor inclusive initiative to ensure all participants feel welcomed and supported at Oakland County Parks large scale events.
