NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED
1. APPROVAL OF PROJECT AND DESIGNATION OF COUNTY AGENCY.
This Board of Commissioners by majority vote of its members-elect does hereby
approve, under and pursuant to Act 342, the establishment of the Project within

supply system improvements and facilities, as specified and to be located as
shown in Exhibit A to the Contract and (ii) the services provided thereby; that
the Project and the System shall serve the Township; that the Oakland County
Water Resources Commissioner is hereby designated and appointed as the

by the County Agency with respect to the Project and the System, unless
otherwise authorized by this Board of Commissioners, shall be payable solely
from funds derived from the Township as hereinafter provided.
2. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS – ESTIMATES OF PERIOD OF
USEFULNESS AND COST. The preliminary plans and specifications for the
Project as contained in Exhibits A and B to the Contract and the estimates of
$15,000,000 as the cost thereof and of 30 years and upwards as the period of
usefulness thereof, as submitted to this Board of Commissioners, are hereby
approved and adopted.
3. APPROVAL OF CONTRACT. The Oakland County Oakland Township 2024
Southwest Oakland Water System Improvements Contract between the County,
by and through the County Water Resources Commissioner, party of the first
part, and the Township, party of the second part, which Contract has been
submitted to this Board of Commissioners, is hereby approved and adopted,
and the County Water Resources Commissioner is hereby authorized and
directed to execute and deliver the same for and on behalf of the County, in as
many counterparts as may be deemed advisable. The Contract is attached to
this Resolution hereto as “EXHIBIT 1”.
4. AUTHORIZATION OF BONDS – PURPOSE. Bonds of the County
aggregating the principal sum of not to exceed Fifteen Million Dollars
($15,000,000) shall be issued and sold pursuant to the provisions of Act 342,
and other applicable statutory provisions, for the purpose of defraying all or a
part of the cost of the Project.
5. BOND DETAILS. The bonds shall be designated “Oakland County Oakland
Township Water Supply System Improvements Bonds” with such other title or
with such additional series designation as may be determined by the County
Agency at the time of sale of the bonds; shall be dated as of the date approved
by the County Agency; shall be issued in such aggregate principal amount as
determined by the County Agency; shall be numbered from 1 upwards; shall be
fully registered; shall be in the denomination of $5,000 each or any integral
multiple thereof not exceeding the aggregate principal amount for each maturity
at the option of the purchaser thereof; shall bear interest at a rate or rates not
exceeding 7% per annum as shall be determined by the County Agency at the
time of sale; shall be payable as to interest on such dates as shall be
determined by the County Agency; and shall be serial bonds and/or term bonds
and mature in such amounts and on such dates and in such years as shall be
determined by the County Agency; provided, however, that the final maturity of
the bonds shall not be later than 30 years after the date of issuance. If
requested by the original purchaser of the bonds and determined by the County
Agency, the bonds may be issued in the form of a single bond with an exhibit
containing the principal maturity amounts and applicable interest rates and due
dates.
6. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. The principal of and interest
on the bonds shall be payable in lawful money of the United States. Principal
shall be payable upon presentation and surrender of the bonds to the bond
registrar and paying agent as they severally mature. Interest shall be paid to the
registered owner of each bond as shown on the registration books at the close
of business on the 15th day of the calendar month preceding the month in which
the interest payment is due. Interest shall be paid when due by wire transfer or
other electronic means or by check or draft mailed by the bond registrar and
paying agent to the registered owner at the registered address.
7. BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM. Initially, one fully-registered bond for each
maturity, in the aggregate amount of such maturity, shall be issued in the name
of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) for the
benefit of other parties (the “Participants”) in the book-entry-only transfer system
of DTC. In the event the County determines that it is in the best interest of the
County not to continue the book-entry system of transfer or that the interests of
the holders of the bonds might be adversely affected if the book-entry system of
transfer is continued, the County may notify DTC and the bond registrar and
paying agent, whereupon DTC will notify the Participants of the availability
through DTC of bond certificates. In such event, the bond registrar and paying
agent shall deliver, transfer and exchange bond certificates as requested by
DTC and any Participant or “beneficial owner” in appropriate amounts in
accordance with this Resolution. DTC may determine to discontinue providing
its services with respect to the bonds at any time by giving notice to the County
and the bond registrar and paying agent and discharging its responsibilities with
respect thereto under applicable law or the County may determine that DTC is
incapable of discharging its duties and may so advise DTC. In either such
event, the County shall use reasonable efforts to locate another securities
depository. Under such circumstances (if there is no successor securities
depository), the County and the bond registrar and paying agent shall be
obligated to deliver bond certificates in accordance with the procedures
established by this Resolution. In the event bond certificates are issued, the
provisions of this Resolution shall apply to, among other things, the transfer and
exchange of such certificates and the method of payment of principal of and
interest on such certificates. Whenever DTC requests the County and the bond
registrar and paying agent to do so, the County and the bond registrar and
paying agent shall cooperate with DTC in taking appropriate action after
reasonable notice to make available one or more separate certificates
evidencing the bonds to any Participant having bonds certified to its DTC
account or to arrange for another securities depository to maintain custody of
certificates evidencing the bonds.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution to the contrary, so
long as any bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC,
all payments with respect to the principal of, interest on and redemption
premium, if any, on such bonds and all notices with respect to the bonds shall
be made and given, respectively, to DTC as provided in the Blanket Issuer
Letter of Representations relating to the bonds. The County Treasurer and the
County Agency are each authorized to sign the Blanket Issuer Letter of
Representations on behalf of the County, in such form as such officer deems
necessary or appropriate in order to accomplish the issuance of the bonds in
accordance with law and this Resolution.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this section to the contrary, if the County
Agency deems it to be in the best interest of the County, the bonds shall not
initially be issued through the book-entry-only transfer system of DTC.
8. PRIOR REDEMPTION. The bonds shall be subject to optional and/or
mandatory redemption prior to maturity upon such terms and conditions, or shall
not be subject to optional or mandatory prior to maturity, as shall be determined
by the County Agency.
9. BOND REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT. The County Treasurer shall
designate, and may enter into an agreement with, a bond registrar and paying
agent for the bonds which shall be a bank or trust company located in the State
of Michigan which is qualified to act in such capacity under the laws of the
United States of America or the State of Michigan. The County Treasurer from
time to time as required may designate a similarly qualified successor bond
registrar and paying agent. Notwithstanding any provision of this section to the
contrary, if the County Agency deems it to be in the best interest of the County,
the County Treasurer shall serve as bond registrar and paying agent for the
bonds.
10. EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY OF BONDS. The bonds
shall be executed in the name of the County by the manual or facsimile
signatures of the Chairperson of the Board of Commissioners and the County
Clerk and authenticated by the manual signature of the bond registrar and
paying agent or an authorized representative of the bond registrar and paying
agent, and the seal of the County (or a facsimile thereof) shall be impressed or
imprinted on the bonds. After the bonds have been executed and authenticated
for delivery to the original purchaser thereof, they shall be delivered by the
County Treasurer to the purchaser upon receipt of the purchase price.
Additional bonds bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of the Chairperson
of the Board of Commissioners and the County Clerk and upon which the seal
of the County (or a facsimile thereof) is impressed or imprinted may be delivered
to the bond registrar and paying agent for authentication and delivery in
connection with the exchange or transfer of bonds. The bond registrar and
paying agent shall indicate on each bond the date of its authentication.
11. EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF BONDS. Any bond, upon surrender
thereof to the bond registrar and paying agent with a written instrument of
transfer satisfactory to the bond registrar and paying agent duly executed by the
registered owner or his duly authorized attorney, at the option of the registered
owner thereof, may be exchanged for bonds of any other authorized
denominations of the same aggregate principal amount and maturity date and
bearing the same rate of interest as the surrendered bond.
Each bond shall be transferable only upon the books of the County, which
shall be kept for that purpose by the bond registrar and paying agent, upon
surrender of such bond together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory
to the bond registrar and paying agent duly executed by the registered owner or
his duly authorized attorney.
Upon the exchange or transfer of any bond, the bond registrar and paying
agent on behalf of the County shall cancel the surrendered bond and shall
authenticate and deliver to the transferee a new bond or bonds of any
authorized denomination of the same aggregate principal amount and maturity
date and bearing the same rate of interest as the surrendered bond. If, at the
time the bond registrar and paying agent authenticates and delivers a new bond
pursuant to this section, payment of interest on the bonds is in default, the bond
registrar and paying agent shall endorse upon the new bond the following:
“Payment of interest on this bond is in default. The last date to which interest
has been paid is [appropriate date to be inserted].”
The County and the bond registrar and paying agent may deem and treat
the person in whose name any bond shall be registered upon the books of the
County as the absolute owner of such bond, whether such bond shall be
overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of and
interest on such bond and for all other purposes, and all payments made to any
such registered owner, or upon his order, in accordance with the provisions of
section 6 of this Resolution shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge
the liability upon such bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, and
neither the County nor the bond registrar and paying agent shall be affected by
any notice to the contrary. The County agrees to indemnify and save the bond
registrar and paying agent harmless from and against any and all loss, cost,
charge, expense, judgment or liability incurred by it, acting in good faith and
without negligence hereunder, in so treating such registered owner.
For every exchange or transfer of bonds, the County or the bond registrar
and paying agent may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee
or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange
or transfer, which sum or sums shall be paid by the person requesting such
exchange or transfer as a condition precedent to the exercise of the privilege of
making such exchange or transfer.
The bond registrar and paying agent shall not be required to transfer or
exchange bonds or portions of bonds which have been selected for redemption.
12. FORM OF BONDS. The bonds shall be in substantially the form attached
as Exhibit A thereto, with such additions, deletions and modifications as are
approved by the County Agency and consistent with the terms of this
Resolution.
13. SECURITY. The bonds shall be issued in anticipation of payments to be
made by the Township pursuant to the Contract. The bonds shall be secured
primarily by the full faith and credit pledge made by the Township in the
Contract pursuant to the authorization contained in Act 342. As additional and
secondary security, the full faith and credit of the County are pledged for the
prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the bonds as the same shall
become due. If the Township shall fail to make a payment to the County which
is sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the bonds as
the same shall become due, then an amount sufficient to pay the deficiency
shall be advanced from the general fund of the County. Taxes imposed by the
County shall be subject to constitutional and statutory limitations.
14. DEFEASANCE. In the event cash or direct obligations of the United States
or obligations the principal of and interest on which are guaranteed by the
United States, or a combination thereof, the principal of and interest on which,
without reinvestment, come due at times and in amounts sufficient to pay, at
maturity or irrevocable call for earlier optional redemption, the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the bonds, or any portion thereof, shall have
been deposited in trust, this Resolution shall be defeased with respect to such
bonds, and the owners of the bonds shall have no further rights under this
Resolution except to receive payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on such bonds from the cash or securities deposited in trust and the
interest and gains thereon and to transfer and exchange bonds as provided
herein.
15. PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST FUND. There shall be established for the
bonds a Principal and Interest Fund which shall be kept in a separate bank
account, provided, however, that such Principal and Interest Fund may be
pooled or combined for deposit or investment purposes with other debt
retirement funds created for nonvoted debt of the County (other than any
special assessment debt). From the proceeds of the sale of the bonds there
shall be set aside in the Principal and Interest Fund any premium as determined
by order of the County Agency and any accrued interest received from the
purchaser of the bonds at the time of delivery of the same. All payments
received from the Township pursuant to the Contract are pledged for payment
of the principal of and interest on the bonds and expenses incidental thereto
and as received shall be placed in the Principal and Interest Fund.
16. CONSTRUCTION FUND. The remainder of the proceeds of the sale of the
bonds shall be set aside in a construction fund or funds for the Project and used
to defray the cost of the Project in accordance with the provisions of the
Contract.
17. APPROVAL OF MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY –
EXCEPTION FROM PRIOR APPROVAL. The issuance and sale of the bonds
shall be subject to the County obtaining qualified status or prior approval from
the Department of Treasury of the State of Michigan pursuant to Act 34, Public
Acts of Michigan, 2001, as amended (“Act 34”), and, if necessary, the County
Treasurer and County Agency are each hereby authorized and directed to make
application to the Department of Treasury for approval to issue and sell the
bonds as provided by the terms of this Resolution and by Act 34. The County
Treasurer and County Agency are authorized to pay any filing fees required in
connection with obtaining qualified status or prior approval from the Department
of Treasury. The County Treasurer and County Agency are further authorized to
request such waivers of the requirements of the Department of Treasury or Act
34 as necessary or desirable in connection with the sale of the bonds.
18. SALE, ISSUANCE, DELIVERY, TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF
BONDS. County Agency shall determine the principal amount of the Bonds to
be sold and shall determine the other bond details as described in Section 2
hereof, the terms and conditions for optional and/or mandatory redemption, and
any premium to be set aside in the Principal and Interest Fund as described in
Section 12 hereof. The Bonds shall be sold at a competitive sale in accordance
with the provisions of Act 34 and other applicable laws of this state. In
connection therewith, the County Agency shall set the time and date for the sale
of the Bonds and prescribe the form of notice of sale for the Bonds and do all
things necessary to effectuate the sale, issuance, delivery, transfer and
exchange of the Bonds in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution. The
Bonds shall be sold at a price that is not less than 99% of their par value, as
determined by the County Agency. The County Agency is hereby authorized to
approve by written order the interest rates on the bonds and the winning bidder
upon the sale of the bonds. The County Agency, the County Treasurer, the
County Clerk and other County officials and employees are hereby authorized
to do all other things necessary to effectuate the sale, issuance, delivery,
transfer and exchange of the Bonds in accordance with the provisions of this
Resolution.
19. REPLACEMENT OF BONDS. Upon receipt by the County Treasurer of
proof of ownership of an unmatured bond, of satisfactory evidence that the bond
has been lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken and of security or
indemnity which complies with applicable law and is satisfactory to the County
Treasurer, the County Treasurer may authorize the bond registrar and paying
agent to deliver a new executed bond to replace the bond lost, apparently
destroyed or wrongfully taken in compliance with applicable law. In the event an
outstanding matured bond is lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken, the
County Treasurer may authorize the bond registrar and paying agent to pay the
bond without presentation upon the receipt of the same documentation required
for the delivery of a replacement bond. The bond registrar and paying agent, for
each new bond delivered or paid without presentation as provided above, shall
require the payment of expenses, including counsel fees, which may be
incurred by the bond registrar and paying agent and the County in the premises.
Any bond delivered pursuant the provisions of this section 19 in lieu of any bond
lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken shall be of the same form and
tenor and be secured in the same manner as the bond in substitution for which
such bond was delivered.
20. TAX COVENANT. The County covenants to comply with all requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to assure that the
interest on the bonds will be and will remain excludable from gross income for
federal income tax purposes. The County Agency, the County Treasurer, the
County Clerk and other appropriate County officials are authorized to do all
things necessary to assure that the interest on the bonds will be and will remain
excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes.

Resolution Approving Language for an Oakland County Parks and
Recreation Commission Millage to Appear on the November 5, 2024 Ballot
WHEREAS it is the mission of the Oakland County Parks and Recreation
Commission (“OCPRC”) 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 OCPRC’s 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 to economic prosperity, support increased property values and
improve quality of life for residents; and
WHEREAS in the last two years, OCPRC has provided more than $2 million in
financial assistance and direct services, benefitting 30 local governments and
non-profit agencies, to support local recreation projects and natural resources
stewardship; and
WHEREAS chronic inadequate capital funding has limited OCPRC’s ability to
keep pace with needed repairs, renovations, and replacement of facilities and
amenities throughout the park system; and
WHEREAS OCPRC currently lacks the ability to access low-interest financing
tools typically utilized by governments for capital improvements due to the
limited duration of its millage levy; and
WHEREAS additional millage revenues will allow OCPRC to eliminate all
general park entry fees, providing residents with free access to nearly 7200
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 OCPRC 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 OCPRC will utilize additional millage revenues to invest in new and
expanded recreational opportunities for residents, including regional trailways,
river recreational corridors, outdoor education programming, new and expanded
parks, and more; and
WHEREAS extending the duration of OCPRC’s 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 Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission
recommends that the Board of Commissioners provide the voters of Oakland
County with an opportunity to consider a proposal to replace the current millage
with an increased levy and extend its duration at the November 5, 2024,
General Election.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes the placement of the following question on the
November 5, 2024, General Election ballot:

The Oakland County Parks System includes 17 park locations with nearly
7,200 acres of public park and recreational lands, 80 miles of trails,
campgrounds, dog parks, golf courses, aquatic recreation facilities, and
nature education centers.
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 an independent audit.
Should this proposal be adopted?
