WHEREAS in a continuing county wide effort to utilize OakVideo technology the Probate Court, Sheriff’s
Office and Information Technology have worked together in developing the proposed video hearing pilot
program; and
WHEREAS the departments are seeking to implement OakVideo technology for use in mental health
commitment hearings with patients at the Center for Forensic Psychiatry in Ann Arbor, MI; and
WHEREAS Michigan Court Rule 5.738a allows the use of this technology for mental health commitment
hearings; and

Court for these hearings. This program would allow the patients to remain at the Forensic Center,
therefore eliminating the Sheriff’s transport of these patients; and
WHEREAS during any given day the Sheriff’s Office transports could include more than just the mental
health commitment hearing participants to multiple locations. The use of this technology will not eliminate
the Sheriff’s primary need for resources to transport prisoners, but will reduce associated costs such as
gasoline, overtime and mileage; and
WHEREAS the elimination of these transports reduces liability, saves cost, and reduces lodging of these
patients in the Oakland County Jail; and
WHEREAS the use of this technology reduces the disruption to the patient associated with the transports;
and
WHEREAS the FY 2010 Adopted Budget for Probate Court includes changes to the Defense Attorney
payment system to reduce and control costs. The Court pays a flat rate to three Defense Attorney’s each
week to handle all mental health cases for the week; and

fees and mileage of the attorneys who are required to travel to and from the Forensic Center; and
WHEREAS the Probate Court requests $15,000 for attorney fees and their mileage to represent patients
at the Forensic Center; and
WHEREAS the departments are requesting approval to pilot the program for one (1) year. The pilot will
allow the departments to track cost savings and determine the effectiveness of the program.

ordinances, including the writing of tickets for MUNICIPALITY motor vehicle and traffic

enforcement functions as authorized and/or mandated by law as limited by and to the extent
of the Number(s) and Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES contracted for by the
MUNICIPALITY in this Agreement. The governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
contemplated and to be provided under this Agreement are strictly limited to those
governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES authorized by law to be performed by the
O.C.S.O.
g. "SHERIFF'S DEPUTY" or "SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES" shall be defined to include any Captain,
Lieutenant, Sergeant, Deputy II, Deputy I, Patrol Investigator, Detective Sergeant, or any
other person or persons of any rank, classification, or title who, pursuant to state law, is a
sworn Deputy of the SHERIFF.
2. The SHERIFF shall assign SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES, in such Number(s) and Rank(s) as shown in
SCHEDULE A - SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES CONTRACTED FOR AND TO BE ASSIGNED TO
MUNICIPALITY (hereafter "SCHEDULE A"), which is attached to, incorporated in and made part of
this Agreement, to perform any and all O.C.S.O. LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES contemplated in
this Agreement within the corporate limits of the MUNICIPALITY, including all private roads. LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, as defined above, shall not include O.C.S.O. police-related "Support
Services," such as Marine Division, Arson Investigation, Detective and Crime Lab services, which the
O.C.S.O. now provides on a County-wide basis, unless expressly stated to the contrary herein.
Nevertheless, such additional "Support Services" shall continue to be made available, at no additional
cost to the MUNICIPALITY, to the same extent that the O.C.S.O. continues to make such law
enforcement "Support Services" available, at no additional charge, to all other communities within
Oakland County.
a. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that, except as provided for under the terms of this
Agreement, the SHERIFF has only limited responsibility for LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES in the MUNICIPALITY and is not otherwise required, except as provided herein,
to assign any specific Number(s) or Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES to provide LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
b. The SHERIFF will make every reasonable effort to provide professional LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY, following generally accepted standards
for police protection, with the levels of staff provided for in SCHEDULE A.
c. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be
interpreted to include any warranty, promise or guaranty, either express or implied, or of any
kind or nature whatsoever, in favor of the MUNICIPALITY and/or any other person or
MUNICIPALITY resident that the O.C.S.O.'S provision of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
under this Agreement will result in any specific reduction or prevention of criminal activity
within the MUNICIPALITY or any other performance-based outcome.
3. The O.C.S.O. and the MUNICIPALITY agree that the sole and exclusive purpose of this Agreement is
to provide governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES in and for the MUNICIPALITY. Except
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
876
as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that this
Agreement does not, and is not intended to, create, by implication or otherwise, any specific, direct or
indirect obligation, duty, promise, benefit, and/or special right to O.C.S.O.' s LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES in favor of or to the benefit of any particular person(s) beyond the O.C.S.O.'S and/or any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S law enforcement officer duty, as established under existing law, to the
general public.
4. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted
for and assigned to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY, as provided
for in SCHEDULE A, shall work, during those hours for which the MUNICIPALITY is being charged,
only on MUNICIPALITY-related police matters. It is understood and agreed, however, that "Mutual
Aid" between communities may be provided to surrounding communities. "Mutual Aid," as used in the
previous sentence, means that any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to the
MUNICIPALITY may be absent from the MUNICIPALITY, at MUNICIPALITY expense, when
temporarily called to the aid of another community due to an emergency or other exceptional
circumstance or because a SHERIFF'S DEPUTY possesses some special skill or qualification
temporarily needed in that other community.
5. Under the terms of this Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall assign to the MUNICIPALITY the Number(s)
and Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES shown in SCHEDULE A to perform all of the LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES contemplated under this Agreement. As used throughout this
Agreement, any reference to the Number(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES, as shown in SCHEDULE A,
shall be defined and quantified as EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during
a bi-weekly period by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY of the specified Rank(s), for each of the SHERIFF'S
DEPUTIES contracted for and assigned by the SHERIFF to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
a. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this subparagraph or in SCHEDULE A,
whenever any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to provide LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY is not present in the MUNICIPALITY
geographical area, due to any of the reasons described in subparagraphs 1 - 6 below, such
periods of time shall be included in and counted toward the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the bi-weekly period in which it occurred.
1. Travel time, on a daily basis, to or from the O.C.S.O. in Pontiac, Michigan, at the
beginning or end of any shift by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, if that SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S shift starts or ends in Pontiac; and
2. Attendance (not to exceed 100 hours per SHERIFF'S DEPUTY per calendar year) at
any O.C.S.O. authorized or required training session, function or meeting; and
3. Provision of any Mutual Aid as described and defined above; and
4. Appearance in any Court or at any meeting with any other law enforcement agency in
connection with any prosecution or Court appearance related to MUNICIPALITY law
enforcement activities; and
5. Performance of any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the MUNICIPALITY that
takes any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY outside the MUNICIPALITY'S geographical area;
and
6. Any approved period of annual leave, sick leave, holiday leave, personal leave, or
any other approved, paid leave (except any paid disciplinary leave and/or long-term
disability leave extending beyond a period of five (5) working days) granted to any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in accordance with applicable O.C.S.O. policies, procedures,
and/or employment contracts.
b. Subject to the SHERIFF'S right to consolidate the assigned shifts of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES
in order to concentrate law enforcement efforts to meet particular law enforcement priorities
and needs, the SHERIFF shall assign shifts to SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES contracted for under
this Agreement so as to provide the broadest possible coverage of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
c. All O.C.S.O. policies, procedures, employment contracts, etc., which may be applicable to
this Agreement shall be made available by the SHERIFF for inspection by the
MUNICIPALITY LIAISON at the O.C.S.O., by appointment, during normal business hours.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
877
6. Subject to the SHERIFF'S sole discretion and judgment as to the county-wide prioritization of
resources and law enforcement needs, any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES, beyond the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during a bi-
weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, may be made available by the SHERIFF to the
MUNICIPALITY on an overtime basis. Except for overtime incurred due to late calls, report writing,
court appearances, emergencies, or holiday pay overtime, as shown in SCHEDULE B - HOLIDAY
PAY (hereafter "SCHEDULE B") which is attached to, incorporated in and made a part of this
Agreement, all other overtime charges incurred by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, which are charged to
the MUNICIPALITY, shall be approved, in advance, in writing, by the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. Any
such additional hours of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES provided shall
be invoiced to and paid by the MUNICIPALITY directly to the COUNTY at the Overtime Hourly Rates
shown in SCHEDULE C - HOURLY RATES (hereafter "SCHEDULE C") which is attached to,
incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement, and shall be in addition to any amounts otherwise
due and owing under the terms of this Agreement. If, however, in the unlikely event that the O.C.S.O.
is able to provide any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES as requested by the
MUNICIPALITY in addition to the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during
a bi-weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, without the O.C.S.O. actually incurring any
direct or indirect obligation to pay any overtime premium to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY as a result, the
Regular Hourly Rates shown in SCHEDULE C for those additional hours of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES for which the O.C.S.O. does not incur any overtime obligation shall be invoiced and paid
by the MUNICIPALITY as otherwise provided herein. All holiday pay charges to the MUNICIPALITY
shall be calculated and invoiced in accordance with SCHEDULE B.
7. The MUNICIPALITY shall not have the right under this Agreement to assign, delegate, or otherwise,
transfer, promise, commit, or lend any O.C.S.O.'S or SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S services, duties, or
obligations under this Agreement to any other public or private person, corporation, entity, or
organization of any kind. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY perceives the need for any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES beyond those SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' services
contracted for in SCHEDULE A, due to some unusual MUNICIPALITY circumstances that, in the
MUNICIPALITY'S judgment, may require additional LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, the
MUNICIPALITY shall address such concerns for additional LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the
SHERIFF as provided for in this Agreement (i.e., preceding Paragraph).
8. The MUNICIPALITY will pay the O.C.S.O. for all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES rendered pursuant to this Agreement at the bi-weekly rates shown in SCHEDULE A. The
MUNICIPALITY further agrees to reimburse the O.C.S.O. for any and all additional hours of work,
overtime, and/or holiday pay costs incurred by the O.C.S.O. in providing LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this Agreement. For every bi-weekly period
(corresponding to established O.C.S.O. payroll periods) during which any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
renders any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this
Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall prepare and send to the MUNICIPALITY an invoice that sets forth the
bi-weekly amount due for each SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES rendered
during that bi-weekly period, plus any charges for any additional hours of work, overtime, and/or
holiday pay, as provided for herein, during that bi-weekly billing period. All overtime charges are to be
itemized and designated for the reason incurred. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to pay to the COUNTY
the full amounts due on any such invoice within 30 days of the invoice date.
9. Should the MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts required
under this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that upon notice from the Oakland County
Treasurer to the Treasurer of the State of Michigan (or any other State of Michigan official authorized
to disburse funds to the MUNICIPALITY), the State of Michigan is authorized to withhold any funds
due the MUNICIPALITY from the State and assign those funds to partially or completely offset any
deficiency by the MUNCIPALITY to the County. Such funds shall be paid directly to the COUNTY.
Further, the MUNCIPALITY waives any claims against the State or COUNTY, or their respective
officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY. Furthermore, should the MUNICIPALITY fail for
any reason to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts required under this Agreement, the County
Treasurer shall be entitled to set-off and retain any amounts due the MUNICIPALITY from Delinquent
Tax Revolving Fund (“DTFR”) or any other source of funds due to the MUNCIPALITY in possession
of the County, to partially or completely offset any deficiency by the MUNICIPALITY, unless expressly
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
878
prohibited by law. Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment unless expressly prohibited by
law. Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY.
Further, the MUNICIPALITY waives any claims against the COUNTY, or its officials, for any such
amounts paid to the COUNTY. Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to limit in any way the
COUNTY’S right to pursue any other legal remedies against the MUNCIPALITY for the
reimbursement of amounts due the COUNTY under this Agreement. The remedies in this paragraph
are available to the COUNTY on an ongoing and successive basis, as the MUNICIPALITY becomes
delinquent in its payments.
10. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. agree and warrant that neither the O.C.S.O. nor any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise, shall be considered or claimed to be
an employee of the MUNICIPALITY and further agree that, at all times and for all purposes under the
terms of this Agreement, the O.C.S.O.'S legal status and relationship to the MUNICIPALITY shall be
that of an INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees that in any writing or
any other communication prepared by, for, or at the direction of the MUNICIPALITY, the
MUNICIPALITY shall neither state, suggest, nor imply that any employment status and/or
employment relationship exists between any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and the MUNICIPALITY.
11. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. agree and warrant that, at all times and for all purposes
relevant to this Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall remain the sole and exclusive employer of all
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES and that the O.C.S.O. shall remain solely and exclusively responsible for the
payment of all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' wages, compensation, overtime wages, expenses, fringe
benefits, pension or retirement benefits, travel expenses, mileage allowances, training expenses,
transportation costs, and/or other allowances or reimbursements of any kind, including, but not limited
to, workers' disability compensation, unemployment compensation, Social Security Act protection(s)
and benefits, any employment taxes, and/or any other statutory or contractual right or benefit based,
in any way, upon any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S status as an employee of the O.C.S.O. Except as
expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY shall not grant, give, allow, pay,
reimburse, compensate, or otherwise provide any wages, fringe benefits, privileges, gifts, equipment,
automobiles, personal property, supplies, benefits, entitlement, consideration (monetary or otherwise)
or any other thing of value, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any
individual SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. Any consideration, monetary or otherwise, paid directly to the
COUNTY and/or any personal property, automobiles, or any portable equipment (e.g., portable
telephones, portable computers, beepers, etc.) supplied, provided, and/or leased directly to the
COUNTY shall not, for any purpose of this Agreement, be interpreted as being provided by the
MUNICIPALITY, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any individual
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
12. The MUNICIPALITY may, in its discretion, in such locations and circumstances as it decides, provide
suitable office space, office equipment, all required utilities and related facilities (e.g., desks, chairs,
copying machines, fax machines, typewriters, permanently installed telephones, lockers, locker room
facilities, uniform changing areas, etc.) in MUNICIPALITY-owned or leased buildings to the O.C.S.O.
for use by SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, which shall be referred to as a
MUNICIPALITY "Sub-Station". Alternatively, the O.C.S.O. may provide or supplement any existing
desks, chairs, copying machines, fax machines, etc. located in the MUNICIPALITY Sub-Station with
O.C.S.O. personal property and equipment. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that the
MUNICIPALITY benefits in providing a Sub-Station for O.C.S.O. use by minimizing the time spent by
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY driving from the main O.C.S.O. Law
Enforcement Complex in Pontiac, Michigan, to the MUNICIPALITY to perform certain paper and desk
work and eliminating the "lost drive time" to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES within the
MUNICIPALITY due to the fact that SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES otherwise would begin and end their work
shift(s) at the main O.C.S.O. Law Enforcement Complex instead of within the MUNICIPALITY. The
MUNICIPALITY'S provision of any Sub-Station facilities and/or the use of any Sub-Station facilities by
the O.C.S.O. shall be by mutual agreement and consent of the parties. Under no circumstances shall
the MUNICIPALITY be obligated under the terms of this Agreement to provide any such Sub-Station
facilities, nor shall the O.C.S.O. be obligated to use any such Sub-Station facilities if offered. If the
MUNICIPALITY decides it will offer to provide the O.C.S.O. with Sub-Station facilities and the
O.C.S.O. agrees to use such Sub-Station facilities, the following terms and conditions shall apply:
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
879
a. Use of a Sub-Station shall be deemed to be a MUNICIPALITY grant of a revocable,
nonexclusive License over that portion of such MUNICIPALITY premises for use by the
O.C.S.O. and SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY.
b. The MUNICIPALITY will be responsible for maintenance of the premises, which includes: any
necessary repairs, improvements, installation and maintenance of all necessary security
locks, devices and fire safety devices and safety precautions, reconstruction, custodial
services, including rubbish and trash removal for the Facility, and also includes the provision
of utilities required to operate the facility for the purposes of this License, including, but not
limited to, heat, air conditioning, power, and water (but excluding any monthly telephone
charges for permanently installed Sub-Station telephone), at no cost to the O.C.S.O.
c. Use of the Sub-Station License shall end upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement
as provided herein. Any such Sub-Station License shall also be terminable, at any time and
for any reason, by the MUNICIPALITY, the COUNTY, or the SHERIFF.
d. SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES shall use due care in their use of any Sub-Station facilities and
equipment. The MUNICIPALITY agrees that the MUNICIPALITY and the MUNICIPALITY’s
Insurance Carrier will waive all rights of subrogation against OAKLAND COUNTY for any loss
or damage to the Sub-Station premises or property therein which is owned or insured by the
Municipality. The MUNICIPALITY will provide the COUNTY with a Certificate of insurance
that contains the following language: “The MUNICIPALITY and the Insurance Carrier named
herein agree to waive all rights of subrogation against Oakland County for any loss or
damage to premises or property owned by or insured by the MUNICIPALITY”. The
MUNICIPALITY will provide this Certificate of Insurance to the Oakland County Sheriff’s
Office, County Service Center, Building #38 East, 1200 N. Telegraph Road, Pontiac,
Michigan 48341-1044 prior to January 1, 2010. All Certificates of Insurance are subject to
approval by the Oakland County Office of Risk Management.
13. Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that this Agreement
does not, and is not intended to, transfer, delegate, or assign to the COUNTY, the SHERIFF, and/or
any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY any civil or legal responsibility, obligation, duty of care, or liability
associated with any governmental function delegated and/or entrusted to the MUNICIPALITY under
existing law.
14. Except as expressly provided for under the terms of this Agreement, no SHERIFF'S DEPUTY while
acting under the terms of this Agreement shall perform any services directly or otherwise be available
to perform any other work or assignments, and no SHERIFF'S DEPUTY shall be otherwise employed
or utilized, in any manner or capacity, by the MUNICIPALITY.
15. The MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may contact the O.C.S.O. LIAISON, as defined above, to request,
advise, or otherwise make the O.C.S.O. aware of particular law enforcement needs and services
within the MUNICIPALITY, or to provide other relevant information which has come to the attention of
the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. The MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may also bring to the SHERIFF'S
attention any concerns that the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may have regarding the assignment of any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY to the MUNICIPALITY. The SHERIFF shall provide the MUNICIPALITY
LIAISON an opportunity to interview and meet any command officers before they are assigned to the
MUNICIPALITY; however, the SHERIFF'S decision on the assignment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
shall be final. The O.C.S.O. LIAISON shall, only to the extent that any such communication would not
interfere in an ongoing criminal investigation or prosecution, keep the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON
reasonably informed regarding criminal and/or law enforcement activities within the MUNICIPALITY
and advise the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON, as soon as practicable, of any changes in any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to perform LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the
MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, however, neither the
MUNICIPALITY nor the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON shall otherwise provide, furnish or assign any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with any job instructions, job descriptions, job specifications, or job duties, or in
any manner attempt to control, supervise, train, or direct any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in the
performance of any O.C.S.O.'S duty or obligation under the terms of this Agreement.
16. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to promptly notify and/or provide the SHERIFF with any information that
may come to its knowledge or possession regarding any act contrary to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, or any other questionable act(s) or omission(s), or any allegation of same, by any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees that it shall promptly deliver to the SHERIFF
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
880
written notice and copies of any complaint(s), charge(s), or any other accusation(s) or allegation(s) of
wrongdoing, whether civil or criminal in nature, which the MUNICIPALITY becomes aware of
regarding any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to cooperate with the O.C.S.O. in
any investigation conducted by the SHERIFF into the character and/or fitness of any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY.
17. The O.C.S.O. shall be solely and exclusively responsible for providing SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES with all
necessary tools, automobiles, radios, communications equipment, firearms, and any and all other
equipment that the O.C.S.O., in its sole judgment, deems required or beneficial for the completion of
any O.C.S.O.'S duty under the terms of this Agreement. The O.C.S.O. shall also be solely and
exclusively responsible for any and all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' business expenses, licenses, taxes,
uniform or equipment costs, insurance(s), supplies, etc., except that any stationery, notices, forms,
MUNICIPALITY ordinance appearance tickets, etc., which are required to bear the name of the
MUNICIPALITY, shall be supplied to the O.C.S.O. by the MUNICIPALITY at the MUNICIPALITY'S
sole cost and expense. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY wants any special or additional personal
property or equipment (i.e., cellular telephones, beepers, personal items or equipment, portable
computers, automobiles, motorcycles, etc.) to be provided, at MUNICIPALITY expense or otherwise,
to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, the MUNICIPALITY shall direct such
requests to the O.C.S.O. which shall solely decide whether such personal property or special
equipment shall be provided. Any and all such additional personal property, portable or individual use
equipment or property, and/or any special equipment to be provided by the MUNICIPALITY shall be
provided directly and exclusively to the O.C.S.O., and then ONLY pursuant to a separate written
lease agreement between the MUNICIPALITY and the COUNTY. As intended by this Paragraph and
elsewhere in this Agreement, no personal property, supplies, or other equipment, nor the use thereof,
shall be provided or made available by the MUNICIPALITY directly to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY,
except through a written lease as provided for in this paragraph.
18. Each party shall be responsible for its own acts and/or omissions and the acts and/or omissions of its
employees and agents under the terms of this Agreement, the costs associated with those acts
and/or omissions, and the defense of those acts and/or omissions. This Agreement does not, and is
not intended to, waive, impair, divest, delegate, or contravene any constitutional, statutory, and/or
other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, or immunity of the Parties.

notice is deposited with sufficient postage with the U.S. Postal Service.
23. This Agreement is neither intended, nor shall it be interpreted, to create, change, modify, supplement,
supersede, or otherwise affect or control, in any manner or at any time, the terms or conditions of
employment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with the O.C.S.O., any applicable O.C.S.O. employment
and/or union contract, and/or any O.C.S.O. rule(s), regulation(s), hours of work, shift assignment,

exclusively, govern and control the employment relationship between the O.C.S.O. and any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and/or the conduct and actions of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. To illustrate, but
not otherwise limit, this Agreement does not and shall not be interpreted to limit, modify, control, or
otherwise affect, in any manner:

judgment, he does not believe is qualified or otherwise fit to be a SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.

decide any and all such terms and conditions of employment and make any and all

c. The SHERIFF'S sole and exclusive right, obligation, and responsibility to determine,
establish, modify, or implement any and all operational policies, procedures, orders, rules,
regulations, ethical guidelines, and/or any other judgment, policy or directive which, in any
way, governs or controls any activity of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, any necessary SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S training standards or proficiency(ies), any level or amount of required supervision,
any and all standards of performance, any sequence or manner of performance, and any
level(s) of experience, training, or education required for any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
performing any O.C.S.O. duty or obligation under the terms of this Agreement.
24. The SHERIFF and the COUNTY reserve to themselves any rights and obligations relating to the
provision of any and all police and/or governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, and this
Agreement does not, and is not intended to, diminish, delegate, divest, impair, or contravene any
constitutional, statutory, and/or other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, capacity, immunity,
or character of office of either the SHERIFF, the COUNTY, and/or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The
COUNTY and the SHERIFF further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is neither intended,
nor shall it be interpreted, so as to create, grant, modify, supersede, alter, or change, in any manner
or form, any right, privilege, benefit, or any other term or condition of employment, of any kind or
nature whatsoever, in, upon, or for any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S agent(s),
representative(s), union(s), or the successor(s) or assign(s) of any of them.
25. This Agreement is made and entered into in the State of Michigan and shall in all respects be
interpreted, enforced and governed under the laws of the State of Michigan. The language of all
parts of this Agreement shall in all cases be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and
not construed strictly for or against any party. As used in this Agreement, the singular or plural
number, the possessive or nonpossessive, shall be deemed to include the other whenever the
context so indicates or requires.
26. Absent an expressly written waiver, the failure of any party to pursue any right granted under this
Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of that right with regard to any existing or subsequent
breach or default under this Agreement. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, power or
privilege.

enforcement functions as authorized and/or mandated by law as limited by and to the extent
of the Number(s) and Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES contracted for by the
MUNICIPALITY in this Agreement. The governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
contemplated and to be provided under this Agreement are strictly limited to those

SCHEDULE A - SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES CONTRACTED FOR AND TO BE ASSIGNED TO
MUNICIPALITY (hereafter "SCHEDULE A"), which is attached to, incorporated in and made part of
this Agreement, to perform any and all O.C.S.O. LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES contemplated in
this Agreement within the corporate limits of the MUNICIPALITY, including all private roads. LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, as defined above, shall not include O.C.S.O. police-related "Support
Services," such as Marine Division, Arson Investigation, Detective and Crime Lab services, which the
O.C.S.O. now provides on a County-wide basis, unless expressly stated to the contrary herein.
Nevertheless, such additional "Support Services" shall continue to be made available, at no additional
cost to the MUNICIPALITY, to the same extent that the O.C.S.O. continues to make such law
enforcement "Support Services" available, at no additional charge, to all other communities within
Oakland County.
a. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that, except as provided for under the terms of this
Agreement, the SHERIFF has only limited responsibility for LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES in the MUNICIPALITY and is not otherwise required, except as provided herein,
to assign any specific Number(s) or Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES to provide LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.

ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY, following generally accepted standards
for police protection, with the levels of staff provided for in SCHEDULE A.
c. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be

MUNICIPALITY resident that the O.C.S.O.'S provision of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
under this Agreement will result in any specific reduction or prevention of criminal activity
within the MUNICIPALITY or any other performance-based outcome.
3. The O.C.S.O. and the MUNICIPALITY agree that the sole and exclusive purpose of this Agreement is
to provide governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES in and for the MUNICIPALITY. Except
as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that this
Agreement does not, and is not intended to, create, by implication or otherwise, any specific, direct or
indirect obligation, duty, promise, benefit, and/or special right to O.C.S.O.' s LAW ENFORCEMENT

SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S law enforcement officer duty, as established under existing law, to the
general public.
4. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted
for and assigned to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY, as provided
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
886
for in SCHEDULE A, shall work, during those hours for which the MUNICIPALITY is being charged,
only on MUNICIPALITY-related police matters. It is understood and agreed, however, that "Mutual
Aid" between communities may be provided to surrounding communities. "Mutual Aid," as used in the
previous sentence, means that any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to the
MUNICIPALITY may be absent from the MUNICIPALITY, at MUNICIPALITY expense, when
temporarily called to the aid of another community due to an emergency or other exceptional
circumstance or because a SHERIFF'S DEPUTY possesses some special skill or qualification
temporarily needed in that other community.
5. Under the terms of this Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall assign to the MUNICIPALITY the Number(s)
and Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES shown in SCHEDULE A to perform all of the LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES contemplated under this Agreement. As used throughout this
Agreement, any reference to the Number(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES, as shown in SCHEDULE A,
shall be defined and quantified as EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during
a bi-weekly period by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY of the specified Rank(s), for each of the SHERIFF'S
DEPUTIES contracted for and assigned by the SHERIFF to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
a. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this subparagraph or in SCHEDULE A,
whenever any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to provide LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY is not present in the MUNICIPALITY
geographical area, due to any of the reasons described in subparagraphs 1 - 6 below, such
periods of time shall be included in and counted toward the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the bi-weekly period in which it occurred.
1. Travel time, on a daily basis, to or from the O.C.S.O. in Pontiac, Michigan, at the
beginning or end of any shift by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, if that SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S shift starts or ends in Pontiac; and
2. Attendance (not to exceed 100 hours per SHERIFF'S DEPUTY per calendar year) at
any O.C.S.O. authorized or required training session, function or meeting; and
3. Provision of any Mutual Aid as described and defined above; and
4. Appearance in any Court or at any meeting with any other law enforcement agency in
connection with any prosecution or Court appearance related to MUNICIPALITY law
enforcement activities; and
5. Performance of any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the MUNICIPALITY that
takes any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY outside the MUNICIPALITY'S geographical area;
and
6. Any approved period of annual leave, sick leave, holiday leave, personal leave, or
any other approved, paid leave (except any paid disciplinary leave and/or long-term
disability leave extending beyond a period of five (5) working days) granted to any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in accordance with applicable O.C.S.O. policies, procedures,
and/or employment contracts.
b. Subject to the SHERIFF'S right to consolidate the assigned shifts of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES
in order to concentrate law enforcement efforts to meet particular law enforcement priorities
and needs, the SHERIFF shall assign shifts to SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES contracted for under
this Agreement so as to provide the broadest possible coverage of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
c. All O.C.S.O. policies, procedures, employment contracts, etc., which may be applicable to
this Agreement shall be made available by the SHERIFF for inspection by the
MUNICIPALITY LIAISON at the O.C.S.O., by appointment, during normal business hours.
6. Subject to the SHERIFF'S sole discretion and judgment as to the county-wide prioritization of
resources and law enforcement needs, any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES, beyond the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during a bi-
weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, may be made available by the SHERIFF to the
MUNICIPALITY on an overtime basis. Except for overtime incurred due to late calls, report writing,
court appearances, emergencies, or holiday pay overtime, as shown in SCHEDULE B - HOLIDAY
PAY (hereafter "SCHEDULE B") which is attached to, incorporated in and made a part of this
Agreement, all other overtime charges incurred by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, which are charged to
the MUNICIPALITY, shall be approved, in advance, in writing, by the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. Any
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
887
such additional hours of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES provided shall
be invoiced to and paid by the MUNICIPALITY directly to the COUNTY at the Overtime Hourly Rates
shown in SCHEDULE C - HOURLY RATES (hereafter "SCHEDULE C") which is attached to,
incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement, and shall be in addition to any amounts otherwise
due and owing under the terms of this Agreement. If, however, in the unlikely event that the O.C.S.O.
is able to provide any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES as requested by the
MUNICIPALITY in addition to the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during
a bi-weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, without the O.C.S.O. actually incurring any
direct or indirect obligation to pay any overtime premium to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY as a result, the
Regular Hourly Rates shown in SCHEDULE C for those additional hours of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES for which the O.C.S.O. does not incur any overtime obligation shall be invoiced and paid
by the MUNICIPALITY as otherwise provided herein. All holiday pay charges to the MUNICIPALITY
shall be calculated and invoiced in accordance with SCHEDULE B.
7. The MUNICIPALITY shall not have the right under this Agreement to assign, delegate, or otherwise,
transfer, promise, commit, or lend any O.C.S.O.'S or SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S services, duties, or
obligations under this Agreement to any other public or private person, corporation, entity, or
organization of any kind. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY perceives the need for any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES beyond those SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' services
contracted for in SCHEDULE A, due to some unusual MUNICIPALITY circumstances that, in the
MUNICIPALITY'S judgment, may require additional LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, the
MUNICIPALITY shall address such concerns for additional LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the
SHERIFF as provided for in this Agreement (i.e., preceding Paragraph).
8. The MUNICIPALITY will pay the O.C.S.O. for all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES rendered pursuant to this Agreement at the bi-weekly rates shown in SCHEDULE A. The
MUNICIPALITY further agrees to reimburse the O.C.S.O. for any and all additional hours of work,
overtime, and/or holiday pay costs incurred by the O.C.S.O. in providing LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this Agreement. For every bi-weekly period
(corresponding to established O.C.S.O. payroll periods) during which any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
renders any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this
Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall prepare and send to the MUNICIPALITY an invoice that sets forth the
bi-weekly amount due for each SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES rendered
during that bi-weekly period, plus any charges for any additional hours of work, overtime, and/or
holiday pay, as provided for herein, during that bi-weekly billing period. All overtime charges are to be
itemized and designated for the reason incurred. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to pay to the COUNTY
the full amounts due on any such invoice within 30 days of the invoice date.
9. Should the MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts required
under this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that upon notice from the Oakland County
Treasurer to the Treasurer of the State of Michigan (or any other State of Michigan official authorized
to disburse funds to the MUNICIPALITY), the State of Michigan is authorized to withhold any funds
due the MUNICIPALITY from the State and assign those funds to partially or completely offset any
deficiency by the MUNCIPALITY to the County. Such funds shall be paid directly to the COUNTY.
Further, the MUNCIPALITY waives any claims against the State or COUNTY, or their respective
officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY. Furthermore, should the MUNICIPALITY fail for
any reason to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts required under this Agreement, the County
Treasurer shall be entitled to set-off and retain any amounts due the MUNICIPALITY from Delinquent
Tax Revolving Fund (“DTFR”) or any other source of funds due to the MUNCIPALITY in possession
of the County, to partially or completely offset any deficiency by the MUNICIPALITY, unless expressly
prohibited by law. Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment unless expressly prohibited by
law. Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY.
Further, the MUNICIPALITY waives any claims against the COUNTY, or its officials, for any such
amounts paid to the COUNTY. Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to limit in any way the
COUNTY’S right to pursue any other legal remedies against the MUNCIPALITY for the
reimbursement of amounts due the COUNTY under this Agreement. The remedies in this paragraph
are available to the COUNTY on an ongoing and successive basis, as the MUNICIPALITY becomes
delinquent in its payments.

10. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. agree and warrant that neither the O.C.S.O. nor any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise, shall be considered or claimed to be
an employee of the MUNICIPALITY and further agree that, at all times and for all purposes under the
terms of this Agreement, the O.C.S.O.'S legal status and relationship to the MUNICIPALITY shall be
that of an INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees that in any writing or
any other communication prepared by, for, or at the direction of the MUNICIPALITY, the
MUNICIPALITY shall neither state, suggest, nor imply that any employment status and/or
employment relationship exists between any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and the MUNICIPALITY.
11. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. agree and warrant that, at all times and for all purposes
relevant to this Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall remain the sole and exclusive employer of all
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES and that the O.C.S.O. shall remain solely and exclusively responsible for the
payment of all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' wages, compensation, overtime wages, expenses, fringe
benefits, pension or retirement benefits, travel expenses, mileage allowances, training expenses,
transportation costs, and/or other allowances or reimbursements of any kind, including, but not limited
to, workers' disability compensation, unemployment compensation, Social Security Act protection(s)
and benefits, any employment taxes, and/or any other statutory or contractual right or benefit based,
in any way, upon any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S status as an employee of the O.C.S.O. Except as
expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY shall not grant, give, allow, pay,
reimburse, compensate, or otherwise provide any wages, fringe benefits, privileges, gifts, equipment,
automobiles, personal property, supplies, benefits, entitlement, consideration (monetary or otherwise)
or any other thing of value, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any
individual SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. Any consideration, monetary or otherwise, paid directly to the
COUNTY and/or any personal property, automobiles, or any portable equipment (e.g., portable
telephones, portable computers, beepers, etc.) supplied, provided, and/or leased directly to the
COUNTY shall not, for any purpose of this Agreement, be interpreted as being provided by the
MUNICIPALITY, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any individual
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
12. The MUNICIPALITY may, in its discretion, in such locations and circumstances as it decides, provide
suitable office space, office equipment, all required utilities and related facilities (e.g., desks, chairs,
copying machines, fax machines, typewriters, permanently installed telephones, lockers, locker room
facilities, uniform changing areas, etc.) in MUNICIPALITY-owned or leased buildings to the O.C.S.O.
for use by SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, which shall be referred to as a
MUNICIPALITY "Sub-Station". Alternatively, the O.C.S.O. may provide or supplement any existing
desks, chairs, copying machines, fax machines, etc. located in the MUNICIPALITY Sub-Station with
O.C.S.O. personal property and equipment. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that the
MUNICIPALITY benefits in providing a Sub-Station for O.C.S.O. use by minimizing the time spent by
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY driving from the main O.C.S.O. Law
Enforcement Complex in Pontiac, Michigan, to the MUNICIPALITY to perform certain paper and desk
work and eliminating the "lost drive time" to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES within the
MUNICIPALITY due to the fact that SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES otherwise would begin and end their work
shift(s) at the main O.C.S.O. Law Enforcement Complex instead of within the MUNICIPALITY. The
MUNICIPALITY'S provision of any Sub-Station facilities and/or the use of any Sub-Station facilities by
the O.C.S.O. shall be by mutual agreement and consent of the parties. Under no circumstances shall
the MUNICIPALITY be obligated under the terms of this Agreement to provide any such Sub-Station
facilities, nor shall the O.C.S.O. be obligated to use any such Sub-Station facilities if offered. If the
MUNICIPALITY decides it will offer to provide the O.C.S.O. with Sub-Station facilities and the
O.C.S.O. agrees to use such Sub-Station facilities, the following terms and conditions shall apply:
a. Use of a Sub-Station shall be deemed to be a MUNICIPALITY grant of a revocable,
nonexclusive License over that portion of such MUNICIPALITY premises for use by the
O.C.S.O. and SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY.
b. The MUNICIPALITY will be responsible for maintenance of the premises, which includes: any
necessary repairs, improvements, installation and maintenance of all necessary security
locks, devices and fire safety devices and safety precautions, reconstruction, custodial
services, including rubbish and trash removal for the Facility, and also includes the provision
of utilities required to operate the facility for the purposes of this License, including, but not

limited to, heat, air conditioning, power, and water (but excluding any monthly telephone
charges for permanently installed Sub-Station telephone), at no cost to the O.C.S.O.
c. Use of the Sub-Station License shall end upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement
as provided herein. Any such Sub-Station License shall also be terminable, at any time and
for any reason, by the MUNICIPALITY, the COUNTY, or the SHERIFF.
d. SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES shall use due care in their use of any Sub-Station facilities and
equipment. The MUNICIPALITY agrees that the MUNICIPALITY and the MUNICIPALITY’s
Insurance Carrier will waive all rights of subrogation against OAKLAND COUNTY for any loss
or damage to the Sub-Station premises or property therein which is owned or insured by the
Municipality. The MUNICIPALITY will provide the COUNTY with a Certificate of insurance
that contains the following language: “The MUNICIPALITY and the Insurance Carrier named
herein agree to waive all rights of subrogation against Oakland County for any loss or
damage to premises or property owned by or insured by the MUNICIPALITY”. The
MUNICIPALITY will provide this Certificate of Insurance to the Oakland County Sheriff’s
Office, County Service Center, Building #38 East, 1200 N. Telegraph Road, Pontiac,
Michigan 48341-1044 prior to January 1, 2010. All Certificates of Insurance are subject to
approval by the Oakland County Office of Risk Management.
13. Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that this Agreement
does not, and is not intended to, transfer, delegate, or assign to the COUNTY, the SHERIFF, and/or
any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY any civil or legal responsibility, obligation, duty of care, or liability
associated with any governmental function delegated and/or entrusted to the MUNICIPALITY under
existing law.
14. Except as expressly provided for under the terms of this Agreement, no SHERIFF'S DEPUTY while
acting under the terms of this Agreement shall perform any services directly or otherwise be available
to perform any other work or assignments, and no SHERIFF'S DEPUTY shall be otherwise employed
or utilized, in any manner or capacity, by the MUNICIPALITY.
15. The MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may contact the O.C.S.O. LIAISON, as defined above, to request,
advise, or otherwise make the O.C.S.O. aware of particular law enforcement needs and services
within the MUNICIPALITY, or to provide other relevant information which has come to the attention of
the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. The MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may also bring to the SHERIFF'S
attention any concerns that the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may have regarding the assignment of any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY to the MUNICIPALITY. The SHERIFF shall provide the MUNICIPALITY
LIAISON an opportunity to interview and meet any command officers before they are assigned to the
MUNICIPALITY; however, the SHERIFF'S decision on the assignment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
shall be final. The O.C.S.O. LIAISON shall, only to the extent that any such communication would not
interfere in an ongoing criminal investigation or prosecution, keep the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON
reasonably informed regarding criminal and/or law enforcement activities within the MUNICIPALITY
and advise the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON, as soon as practicable, of any changes in any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to perform LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the
MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, however, neither the
MUNICIPALITY nor the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON shall otherwise provide, furnish or assign any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with any job instructions, job descriptions, job specifications, or job duties, or in
any manner attempt to control, supervise, train, or direct any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in the
performance of any O.C.S.O.'S duty or obligation under the terms of this Agreement.
16. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to promptly notify and/or provide the SHERIFF with any information that
may come to its knowledge or possession regarding any act contrary to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, or any other questionable act(s) or omission(s), or any allegation of same, by any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees that it shall promptly deliver to the SHERIFF
written notice and copies of any complaint(s), charge(s), or any other accusation(s) or allegation(s) of
wrongdoing, whether civil or criminal in nature, which the MUNICIPALITY becomes aware of
regarding any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to cooperate with the O.C.S.O. in
any investigation conducted by the SHERIFF into the character and/or fitness of any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY.
17. The O.C.S.O. shall be solely and exclusively responsible for providing SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES with all
necessary tools, automobiles, radios, communications equipment, firearms, and any and all other
equipment that the O.C.S.O., in its sole judgment, deems required or beneficial for the completion of

890
any O.C.S.O.'S duty under the terms of this Agreement. The O.C.S.O. shall also be solely and
exclusively responsible for any and all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' business expenses, licenses, taxes,
uniform or equipment costs, insurance(s), supplies, etc., except that any stationery, notices, forms,
MUNICIPALITY ordinance appearance tickets, etc., which are required to bear the name of the
MUNICIPALITY, shall be supplied to the O.C.S.O. by the MUNICIPALITY at the MUNICIPALITY'S
sole cost and expense. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY wants any special or additional personal
property or equipment (i.e., cellular telephones, beepers, personal items or equipment, portable
computers, automobiles, motorcycles, etc.) to be provided, at MUNICIPALITY expense or otherwise,
to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, the MUNICIPALITY shall direct such
requests to the O.C.S.O. which shall solely decide whether such personal property or special
equipment shall be provided. Any and all such additional personal property, portable or individual use
equipment or property, and/or any special equipment to be provided by the MUNICIPALITY shall be
provided directly and exclusively to the O.C.S.O., and then ONLY pursuant to a separate written
lease agreement between the MUNICIPALITY and the COUNTY. As intended by this Paragraph and
elsewhere in this Agreement, no personal property, supplies, or other equipment, nor the use thereof,
shall be provided or made available by the MUNICIPALITY directly to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY,
except through a written lease as provided for in this paragraph.
18. Each party shall be responsible for its own acts and/or omissions and the acts and/or omissions of its
employees and agents under the terms of this Agreement, the costs associated with those acts
and/or omissions, and the defense of those acts and/or omissions. This Agreement does not, and is
not intended to, waive, impair, divest, delegate, or contravene any constitutional, statutory, and/or
other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, or immunity of the Parties.
19. Subject to the following Paragraph, this Agreement shall become effective at 12:01 A.M., January 1,
2010, and shall remain in effect continuously until it expires, without any further act or notice being
required by either party, at 11:59 P.M. on December 31, 2010. In addition, any party may terminate
this Agreement, prior to its December 31, 2009 expiration, upon written notification to all others at
least ninety (90) days prior to the proposed termination date, which date shall be clearly stated in the
written notice. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, all further O.C.S.O.'S obligations
to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under this Agreement shall end.
20. This Agreement, and any subsequent amendments, shall not become effective prior to the approval
by concurrent resolutions of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners and the MUNICIPALITY
Governing Body. The approval and terms of this Agreement shall be entered in the official minutes
and proceedings of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners and MUNICIPALITY Governing Body and
shall also be filed with the office of the Clerk for the COUNTY and the MUNICIPALITY. In addition,
this Agreement and any subsequent amendments shall be filed with the Secretary of State for the
State of Michigan by the O.C.S.O. and shall not become effective or implemented prior to its filing
with the Secretary of State.
21. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY wishes to enter into a new agreement for LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES upon the expiration of this Agreement, it will notify the O.C.S.O., in writing, of this intent
no later than July 31, 2010. If the MUNICIPALITY, as above, notifies the O.C.S.O. of its intent to
enter into a new agreement, and the O.C.S.O. has a similar interest, the O.C.S.O. shall present the
MUNICIPALITY with a new proposed agreement for continued LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
on, or before, August 22, 2010. In no event shall this paragraph be interpreted to obligate the
O.C.S.O. or the MUNICIPALITY to continue any Agreement for any LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES beyond the expiration of this Agreement unless a new fully executed contract is executed
by the parties. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY terminates this Agreement or elects not to enter
into a subsequent agreement because it decides to establish its own police department, the
MUNICIPALITY agrees to consider for employment in its police department any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
who may be laid off by the O.C.S.O. as a result of this decision, but in no event shall the
MUNICIPALITY be obligated to hire any such SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
22. The parties shall send, by first class mail, all correspondence and written notices required or
permitted by this Agreement to each signatory to this Agreement, or any signatory successor in office,
to the addresses shown in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided for herein, all
correspondence or written notices shall be considered delivered to a party as of the date that such
notice is deposited with sufficient postage with the U.S. Postal Service.

23. This Agreement is neither intended, nor shall it be interpreted, to create, change, modify, supplement,
supersede, or otherwise affect or control, in any manner or at any time, the terms or conditions of
employment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with the O.C.S.O., any applicable O.C.S.O. employment
and/or union contract, and/or any O.C.S.O. rule(s), regulation(s), hours of work, shift assignment,
order(s), policy(ies), procedure(s), directive(s), ethical guideline(s), etc., which shall, solely and
exclusively, govern and control the employment relationship between the O.C.S.O. and any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and/or the conduct and actions of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. To illustrate, but
not otherwise limit, this Agreement does not and shall not be interpreted to limit, modify, control, or
otherwise affect, in any manner:
a. The complete and unilateral discretion of the SHERIFF to either continue or revoke the
deputization of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, or any other person who, in the SHERIFF'S sole
judgment, he does not believe is qualified or otherwise fit to be a SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
b. The O.C.S.O.'S sole and exclusive right, obligation, responsibility, and discretion to employ,
compensate, assign, reassign, transfer, promote, reclassify, discipline, demote, layoff,
furlough, discharge any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and/or pay any and all SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S
wages, salaries, allowances, reimbursements, compensation, fringe benefits, or otherwise
decide any and all such terms and conditions of employment and make any and all
employment decisions that affect, in any way, the employment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
with the O.C.S.D, subject only to its collective bargaining Agreements.
c. The SHERIFF'S sole and exclusive right, obligation, and responsibility to determine,
establish, modify, or implement any and all operational policies, procedures, orders, rules,
regulations, ethical guidelines, and/or any other judgment, policy or directive which, in any
way, governs or controls any activity of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, any necessary SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S training standards or proficiency(ies), any level or amount of required supervision,
any and all standards of performance, any sequence or manner of performance, and any
level(s) of experience, training, or education required for any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
performing any O.C.S.O. duty or obligation under the terms of this Agreement.
24. The SHERIFF and the COUNTY reserve to themselves any rights and obligations relating to the
provision of any and all police and/or governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, and this
Agreement does not, and is not intended to, diminish, delegate, divest, impair, or contravene any
constitutional, statutory, and/or other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, capacity, immunity,
or character of office of either the SHERIFF, the COUNTY, and/or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The
COUNTY and the SHERIFF further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is neither intended,
nor shall it be interpreted, so as to create, grant, modify, supersede, alter, or change, in any manner
or form, any right, privilege, benefit, or any other term or condition of employment, of any kind or
nature whatsoever, in, upon, or for any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S agent(s),
representative(s), union(s), or the successor(s) or assign(s) of any of them.
25. This Agreement is made and entered into in the State of Michigan and shall in all respects be
interpreted, enforced and governed under the laws of the State of Michigan. The language of all
parts of this Agreement shall in all cases be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and
not construed strictly for or against any party. As used in this Agreement, the singular or plural
number, the possessive or nonpossessive, shall be deemed to include the other whenever the
context so indicates or requires.
26. Absent an expressly written waiver, the failure of any party to pursue any right granted under this
Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of that right with regard to any existing or subsequent
breach or default under this Agreement. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, power or
privilege.
27. This Agreement shall be binding upon the COUNTY, the SHERIFF, and the MUNICIPALITY to the
extent permitted by law, upon their successors and assigns, and all persons acting by, through,
under, or in concert with any of them.
28. This Agreement, consisting of fifteen (15) pages, including SCHEDULE A, SCHEDULE B, and
SCHEDULE C (incorporated herein), sets forth the entire Agreement between the O.C.S.O. and the

SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES, or other circumstances involving public safety, a breach of peace,
civil infractions, accidents or accidental injuries, and any related governmental law
enforcement functions as authorized and/or mandated by law as limited by and to the extent
of the Number(s) and Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES contracted for by the
MUNICIPALITY in this Agreement. The governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
contemplated and to be provided under this Agreement are strictly limited to those
governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES authorized by law to be performed by the
O.C.S.O.
g. "SHERIFF'S DEPUTY" or "SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES" shall be defined to include any Captain,
Lieutenant, Sergeant, Deputy II, Deputy I, Patrol Investigator, Detective Sergeant, or any
other person or persons of any rank, classification, or title who, pursuant to state law, is a
sworn Deputy of the SHERIFF.
2. The SHERIFF shall assign SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES, in such Number(s) and Rank(s) as shown in
SCHEDULE A - SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES CONTRACTED FOR AND TO BE ASSIGNED TO
MUNICIPALITY (hereafter "SCHEDULE A"), which is attached to, incorporated in and made part of
this Agreement, to perform any and all O.C.S.O. LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES contemplated in
this Agreement within the corporate limits of the MUNICIPALITY, including all private roads. LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, as defined above, shall not include O.C.S.O. police-related "Support
Services," such as Marine Division, Arson Investigation, Detective and Crime Lab services, which the
O.C.S.O. now provides on a County-wide basis, unless expressly stated to the contrary herein.
Nevertheless, such additional "Support Services" shall continue to be made available, at no additional
cost to the MUNICIPALITY, to the same extent that the O.C.S.O. continues to make such law
enforcement "Support Services" available, at no additional charge, to all other communities within
Oakland County.
a. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that, except as provided for under the terms of this
Agreement, the SHERIFF has only limited responsibility for LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES in the MUNICIPALITY and is not otherwise required, except as provided herein,
to assign any specific Number(s) or Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES to provide LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
b. The SHERIFF will make every reasonable effort to provide professional LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY, following generally accepted standards
for police protection, with the levels of staff provided for in SCHEDULE A.
c. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be
interpreted to include any warranty, promise or guaranty, either express or implied, or of any
kind or nature whatsoever, in favor of the MUNICIPALITY and/or any other person or
MUNICIPALITY resident that the O.C.S.O.'S provision of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
under this Agreement will result in any specific reduction or prevention of criminal activity
within the MUNICIPALITY or any other performance-based outcome.

3. The O.C.S.O. and the MUNICIPALITY agree that the sole and exclusive purpose of this Agreement is
to provide governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES in and for the MUNICIPALITY. Except
as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that this
Agreement does not, and is not intended to, create, by implication or otherwise, any specific, direct or
indirect obligation, duty, promise, benefit, and/or special right to O.C.S.O.' s LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES in favor of or to the benefit of any particular person(s) beyond the O.C.S.O.'S and/or any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S law enforcement officer duty, as established under existing law, to the
general public.
4. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted
for and assigned to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY, as provided
for in SCHEDULE A, shall work, during those hours for which the MUNICIPALITY is being charged,
only on MUNICIPALITY-related police matters. It is understood and agreed, however, that "Mutual
Aid" between communities may be provided to surrounding communities. "Mutual Aid," as used in the
previous sentence, means that any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to the
MUNICIPALITY may be absent from the MUNICIPALITY, at MUNICIPALITY expense, when
temporarily called to the aid of another community due to an emergency or other exceptional
circumstance or because a SHERIFF'S DEPUTY possesses some special skill or qualification
temporarily needed in that other community.
5. Under the terms of this Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall assign to the MUNICIPALITY the Number(s)
and Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES shown in SCHEDULE A to perform all of the LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES contemplated under this Agreement. As used throughout this
Agreement, any reference to the Number(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES, as shown in SCHEDULE A,
shall be defined and quantified as EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during
a bi-weekly period by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY of the specified Rank(s), for each of the SHERIFF'S
DEPUTIES contracted for and assigned by the SHERIFF to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
a. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this subparagraph or in SCHEDULE A,
whenever any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to provide LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY is not present in the MUNICIPALITY
geographical area, due to any of the reasons described in subparagraphs 1 - 6 below, such
periods of time shall be included in and counted toward the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the bi-weekly period in which it occurred.
1. Travel time, on a daily basis, to or from the O.C.S.O. in Pontiac, Michigan, at the
beginning or end of any shift by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, if that SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S shift starts or ends in Pontiac; and
2. Attendance (not to exceed 100 hours per SHERIFF'S DEPUTY per calendar year) at
any O.C.S.O. authorized or required training session, function or meeting; and
3. Provision of any Mutual Aid as described and defined above; and
4. Appearance in any Court or at any meeting with any other law enforcement agency in
connection with any prosecution or Court appearance related to MUNICIPALITY law
enforcement activities; and
5. Performance of any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the MUNICIPALITY that
takes any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY outside the MUNICIPALITY'S geographical area;
and
6. Any approved period of annual leave, sick leave, holiday leave, personal leave, or
any other approved, paid leave (except any paid disciplinary leave and/or long-term
disability leave extending beyond a period of five (5) working days) granted to any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in accordance with applicable O.C.S.O. policies, procedures,
and/or employment contracts.
b. Subject to the SHERIFF'S right to consolidate the assigned shifts of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES
in order to concentrate law enforcement efforts to meet particular law enforcement priorities
and needs, the SHERIFF shall assign shifts to SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES contracted for under
this Agreement so as to provide the broadest possible coverage of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
897
c. All O.C.S.O. policies, procedures, employment contracts, etc., which may be applicable to
this Agreement shall be made available by the SHERIFF for inspection by the
MUNICIPALITY LIAISON at the O.C.S.O., by appointment, during normal business hours.
6. Subject to the SHERIFF'S sole discretion and judgment as to the county-wide prioritization of
resources and law enforcement needs, any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES, beyond the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during a bi-
weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, may be made available by the SHERIFF to the
MUNICIPALITY on an overtime basis. Except for overtime incurred due to late calls, report writing,
court appearances, emergencies, or holiday pay overtime, as shown in SCHEDULE B - HOLIDAY
PAY (hereafter "SCHEDULE B") which is attached to, incorporated in and made a part of this
Agreement, all other overtime charges incurred by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, which are charged to
the MUNICIPALITY, shall be approved, in advance, in writing, by the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. Any
such additional hours of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES provided shall
be invoiced to and paid by the MUNICIPALITY directly to the COUNTY at the Overtime Hourly Rates
shown in SCHEDULE C - HOURLY RATES (hereafter "SCHEDULE C") which is attached to,
incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement, and shall be in addition to any amounts otherwise
due and owing under the terms of this Agreement. If, however, in the unlikely event that the O.C.S.O.
is able to provide any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES as requested by the
MUNICIPALITY in addition to the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during
a bi-weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, without the O.C.S.O. actually incurring any
direct or indirect obligation to pay any overtime premium to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY as a result, the
Regular Hourly Rates shown in SCHEDULE C for those additional hours of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES for which the O.C.S.O. does not incur any overtime obligation shall be invoiced and paid
by the MUNICIPALITY as otherwise provided herein. All holiday pay charges to the MUNICIPALITY
shall be calculated and invoiced in accordance with SCHEDULE B.
7. The MUNICIPALITY shall not have the right under this Agreement to assign, delegate, or otherwise,
transfer, promise, commit, or lend any O.C.S.O.'S or SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S services, duties, or
obligations under this Agreement to any other public or private person, corporation, entity, or
organization of any kind. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY perceives the need for any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES beyond those SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' services
contracted for in SCHEDULE A, due to some unusual MUNICIPALITY circumstances that, in the
MUNICIPALITY'S judgment, may require additional LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, the
MUNICIPALITY shall address such concerns for additional LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the
SHERIFF as provided for in this Agreement (i.e., preceding Paragraph).
8. The MUNICIPALITY will pay the O.C.S.O. for all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES rendered pursuant to this Agreement at the bi-weekly rates shown in SCHEDULE A. The
MUNICIPALITY further agrees to reimburse the O.C.S.O. for any and all additional hours of work,
overtime, and/or holiday pay costs incurred by the O.C.S.O. in providing LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this Agreement. For every bi-weekly period
(corresponding to established O.C.S.O. payroll periods) during which any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
renders any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this
Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall prepare and send to the MUNICIPALITY an invoice that sets forth the
bi-weekly amount due for each SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES rendered
during that bi-weekly period, plus any charges for any additional hours of work, overtime, and/or
holiday pay, as provided for herein, during that bi-weekly billing period. All overtime charges are to be
itemized and designated for the reason incurred. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to pay to the COUNTY
the full amounts due on any such invoice within 30 days of the invoice date.
9. Should the MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts required
under this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that upon notice from the Oakland County
Treasurer to the Treasurer of the State of Michigan (or any other State of Michigan official authorized
to disburse funds to the MUNICIPALITY), the State of Michigan is authorized to withhold any funds
due the MUNICIPALITY from the State and assign those funds to partially or completely offset any
deficiency by the MUNCIPALITY to the County. Such funds shall be paid directly to the COUNTY.
Further, the MUNCIPALITY waives any claims against the State or COUNTY, or their respective
officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY. Furthermore, should the MUNICIPALITY fail for
any reason to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts required under this Agreement, the County
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
898
Treasurer shall be entitled to set-off and retain any amounts due the MUNICIPALITY from Delinquent
Tax Revolving Fund (“DTFR”) or any other source of funds due to the MUNCIPALITY in possession
of the County, to partially or completely offset any deficiency by the MUNICIPALITY, unless expressly
prohibited by law. Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment unless expressly prohibited by
law. Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY.
Further, the MUNICIPALITY waives any claims against the COUNTY, or its officials, for any such
amounts paid to the COUNTY. Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to limit in any way the
COUNTY’S right to pursue any other legal remedies against the MUNCIPALITY for the
reimbursement of amounts due the COUNTY under this Agreement. The remedies in this paragraph
are available to the COUNTY on an ongoing and successive basis, as the MUNICIPALITY becomes
delinquent in its payments.
10. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. agree and warrant that neither the O.C.S.O. nor any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise, shall be considered or claimed to be
an employee of the MUNICIPALITY and further agree that, at all times and for all purposes under the
terms of this Agreement, the O.C.S.O.'S legal status and relationship to the MUNICIPALITY shall be
that of an INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees that in any writing or
any other communication prepared by, for, or at the direction of the MUNICIPALITY, the
MUNICIPALITY shall neither state, suggest, nor imply that any employment status and/or
employment relationship exists between any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and the MUNICIPALITY.
11. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. agree and warrant that, at all times and for all purposes
relevant to this Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall remain the sole and exclusive employer of all
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES and that the O.C.S.O. shall remain solely and exclusively responsible for the
payment of all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' wages, compensation, overtime wages, expenses, fringe
benefits, pension or retirement benefits, travel expenses, mileage allowances, training expenses,
transportation costs, and/or other allowances or reimbursements of any kind, including, but not limited
to, workers' disability compensation, unemployment compensation, Social Security Act protection(s)
and benefits, any employment taxes, and/or any other statutory or contractual right or benefit based,
in any way, upon any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S status as an employee of the O.C.S.O. Except as
expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY shall not grant, give, allow, pay,
reimburse, compensate, or otherwise provide any wages, fringe benefits, privileges, gifts, equipment,
automobiles, personal property, supplies, benefits, entitlement, consideration (monetary or otherwise)
or any other thing of value, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any
individual SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. Any consideration, monetary or otherwise, paid directly to the
COUNTY and/or any personal property, automobiles, or any portable equipment (e.g., portable
telephones, portable computers, beepers, etc.) supplied, provided, and/or leased directly to the
COUNTY shall not, for any purpose of this Agreement, be interpreted as being provided by the
MUNICIPALITY, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any individual
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
12. The MUNICIPALITY may, in its discretion, in such locations and circumstances as it decides, provide
suitable office space, office equipment, all required utilities and related facilities (e.g., desks, chairs,
copying machines, fax machines, typewriters, permanently installed telephones, lockers, locker room
facilities, uniform changing areas, etc.) in MUNICIPALITY-owned or leased buildings to the O.C.S.O.
for use by SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, which shall be referred to as a
MUNICIPALITY "Sub-Station". Alternatively, the O.C.S.O. may provide or supplement any existing
desks, chairs, copying machines, fax machines, etc. located in the MUNICIPALITY Sub-Station with
O.C.S.O. personal property and equipment. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that the
MUNICIPALITY benefits in providing a Sub-Station for O.C.S.O. use by minimizing the time spent by
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY driving from the main O.C.S.O. Law
Enforcement Complex in Pontiac, Michigan, to the MUNICIPALITY to perform certain paper and desk
work and eliminating the "lost drive time" to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES within the
MUNICIPALITY due to the fact that SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES otherwise would begin and end their work
shift(s) at the main O.C.S.O. Law Enforcement Complex instead of within the MUNICIPALITY. The
MUNICIPALITY'S provision of any Sub-Station facilities and/or the use of any Sub-Station facilities by
the O.C.S.O. shall be by mutual agreement and consent of the parties. Under no circumstances shall
the MUNICIPALITY be obligated under the terms of this Agreement to provide any such Sub-Station
facilities, nor shall the O.C.S.O. be obligated to use any such Sub-Station facilities if offered. If the
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
899
MUNICIPALITY decides it will offer to provide the O.C.S.O. with Sub-Station facilities and the
O.C.S.O. agrees to use such Sub-Station facilities, the following terms and conditions shall apply:
a. Use of a Sub-Station shall be deemed to be a MUNICIPALITY grant of a revocable,
nonexclusive License over that portion of such MUNICIPALITY premises for use by the
O.C.S.O. and SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY.
b. The MUNICIPALITY will be responsible for maintenance of the premises, which includes: any
necessary repairs, improvements, installation and maintenance of all necessary security
locks, devices and fire safety devices and safety precautions, reconstruction, custodial
services, including rubbish and trash removal for the Facility, and also includes the provision
of utilities required to operate the facility for the purposes of this License, including, but not
limited to, heat, air conditioning, power, and water (but excluding any monthly telephone
charges for permanently installed Sub-Station telephone), at no cost to the O.C.S.O.
c. Use of the Sub-Station License shall end upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement
as provided herein. Any such Sub-Station License shall also be terminable, at any time and
for any reason, by the MUNICIPALITY, the COUNTY, or the SHERIFF.
d. SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES shall use due care in their use of any Sub-Station facilities and
equipment. The MUNICIPALITY agrees that the MUNICIPALITY and the MUNICIPALITY’s
Insurance Carrier will waive all rights of subrogation against OAKLAND COUNTY for any loss
or damage to the Sub-Station premises or property therein which is owned or insured by the
Municipality. The MUNICIPALITY will provide the COUNTY with a Certificate of insurance
that contains the following language: “The MUNICIPALITY and the Insurance Carrier named
herein agree to waive all rights of subrogation against Oakland County for any loss or
damage to premises or property owned by or insured by the MUNICIPALITY”. The
MUNICIPALITY will provide this Certificate of Insurance to the Oakland County Sheriff’s
Office, County Service Center, Building #38 East, 1200 N. Telegraph Road, Pontiac,
Michigan 48341-1044 prior to January 1, 2010. All Certificates of Insurance are subject to
approval by the Oakland County Office of Risk Management.
13. Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that this Agreement
does not, and is not intended to, transfer, delegate, or assign to the COUNTY, the SHERIFF, and/or
any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY any civil or legal responsibility, obligation, duty of care, or liability
associated with any governmental function delegated and/or entrusted to the MUNICIPALITY under
existing law.
14. Except as expressly provided for under the terms of this Agreement, no SHERIFF'S DEPUTY while
acting under the terms of this Agreement shall perform any services directly or otherwise be available
to perform any other work or assignments, and no SHERIFF'S DEPUTY shall be otherwise employed
or utilized, in any manner or capacity, by the MUNICIPALITY.
15. The MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may contact the O.C.S.O. LIAISON, as defined above, to request,
advise, or otherwise make the O.C.S.O. aware of particular law enforcement needs and services
within the MUNICIPALITY, or to provide other relevant information which has come to the attention of
the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. The MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may also bring to the SHERIFF'S
attention any concerns that the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may have regarding the assignment of any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY to the MUNICIPALITY. The SHERIFF shall provide the MUNICIPALITY
LIAISON an opportunity to interview and meet any command officers before they are assigned to the
MUNICIPALITY; however, the SHERIFF'S decision on the assignment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
shall be final. The O.C.S.O. LIAISON shall, only to the extent that any such communication would not
interfere in an ongoing criminal investigation or prosecution, keep the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON
reasonably informed regarding criminal and/or law enforcement activities within the MUNICIPALITY
and advise the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON, as soon as practicable, of any changes in any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to perform LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the
MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, however, neither the
MUNICIPALITY nor the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON shall otherwise provide, furnish or assign any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with any job instructions, job descriptions, job specifications, or job duties, or in
any manner attempt to control, supervise, train, or direct any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in the
performance of any O.C.S.O.'S duty or obligation under the terms of this Agreement.
16. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to promptly notify and/or provide the SHERIFF with any information that
may come to its knowledge or possession regarding any act contrary to the terms and conditions of
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
900
this Agreement, or any other questionable act(s) or omission(s), or any allegation of same, by any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees that it shall promptly deliver to the SHERIFF
written notice and copies of any complaint(s), charge(s), or any other accusation(s) or allegation(s) of
wrongdoing, whether civil or criminal in nature, which the MUNICIPALITY becomes aware of
regarding any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to cooperate with the O.C.S.O. in
any investigation conducted by the SHERIFF into the character and/or fitness of any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY.
17. The O.C.S.O. shall be solely and exclusively responsible for providing SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES with all
necessary tools, automobiles, radios, communications equipment, firearms, and any and all other
equipment that the O.C.S.O., in its sole judgment, deems required or beneficial for the completion of
any O.C.S.O.'S duty under the terms of this Agreement. The O.C.S.O. shall also be solely and
exclusively responsible for any and all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' business expenses, licenses, taxes,
uniform or equipment costs, insurance(s), supplies, etc., except that any stationery, notices, forms,
MUNICIPALITY ordinance appearance tickets, etc., which are required to bear the name of the
MUNICIPALITY, shall be supplied to the O.C.S.O. by the MUNICIPALITY at the MUNICIPALITY'S
sole cost and expense. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY wants any special or additional personal
property or equipment (i.e., cellular telephones, beepers, personal items or equipment, portable
computers, automobiles, motorcycles, etc.) to be provided, at MUNICIPALITY expense or otherwise,
to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, the MUNICIPALITY shall direct such
requests to the O.C.S.O. which shall solely decide whether such personal property or special
equipment shall be provided. Any and all such additional personal property, portable or individual use
equipment or property, and/or any special equipment to be provided by the MUNICIPALITY shall be
provided directly and exclusively to the O.C.S.O., and then ONLY pursuant to a separate written
lease agreement between the MUNICIPALITY and the COUNTY. As intended by this Paragraph and
elsewhere in this Agreement, no personal property, supplies, or other equipment, nor the use thereof,
shall be provided or made available by the MUNICIPALITY directly to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY,
except through a written lease as provided for in this paragraph.
18. Each party shall be responsible for its own acts and/or omissions and the acts and/or omissions of its
employees and agents under the terms of this Agreement, the costs associated with those acts
and/or omissions, and the defense of those acts and/or omissions. This Agreement does not, and is
not intended to, waive, impair, divest, delegate, or contravene any constitutional, statutory, and/or
other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, or immunity of the Parties.
19. Subject to the following Paragraph, this Agreement shall become effective at 12:01 A.M., January 1,
2010, and shall remain in effect continuously until it expires, without any further act or notice being
required by either party, at 11:59 P.M. on December 31, 2010. In addition, any party may terminate
this Agreement, prior to its December 31, 2009 expiration, upon written notification to all others at
least ninety (90) days prior to the proposed termination date, which date shall be clearly stated in the
written notice. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, all further O.C.S.O.'S obligations
to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under this Agreement shall end.
20. This Agreement, and any subsequent amendments, shall not become effective prior to the approval
by concurrent resolutions of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners and the MUNICIPALITY
Governing Body. The approval and terms of this Agreement shall be entered in the official minutes
and proceedings of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners and MUNICIPALITY Governing Body and
shall also be filed with the office of the Clerk for the COUNTY and the MUNICIPALITY. In addition,
this Agreement and any subsequent amendments shall be filed with the Secretary of State for the
State of Michigan by the O.C.S.O. and shall not become effective or implemented prior to its filing
with the Secretary of State.
21. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY wishes to enter into a new agreement for LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES upon the expiration of this Agreement, it will notify the O.C.S.O., in writing, of this intent
no later than July 31, 2010. If the MUNICIPALITY, as above, notifies the O.C.S.O. of its intent to
enter into a new agreement, and the O.C.S.O. has a similar interest, the O.C.S.O. shall present the
MUNICIPALITY with a new proposed agreement for continued LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
on, or before, August 22, 2010. In no event shall this paragraph be interpreted to obligate the
O.C.S.O. or the MUNICIPALITY to continue any Agreement for any LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES beyond the expiration of this Agreement unless a new fully executed contract is executed
by the parties. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY terminates this Agreement or elects not to enter
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
901
into a subsequent agreement because it decides to establish its own police department, the
MUNICIPALITY agrees to consider for employment in its police department any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
who may be laid off by the O.C.S.O. as a result of this decision, but in no event shall the
MUNICIPALITY be obligated to hire any such SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
22. The parties shall send, by first class mail, all correspondence and written notices required or
permitted by this Agreement to each signatory to this Agreement, or any signatory successor in office,
to the addresses shown in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided for herein, all
correspondence or written notices shall be considered delivered to a party as of the date that such
notice is deposited with sufficient postage with the U.S. Postal Service.
23. This Agreement is neither intended, nor shall it be interpreted, to create, change, modify, supplement,
supersede, or otherwise affect or control, in any manner or at any time, the terms or conditions of
employment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with the O.C.S.O., any applicable O.C.S.O. employment
and/or union contract, and/or any O.C.S.O. rule(s), regulation(s), hours of work, shift assignment,
order(s), policy(ies), procedure(s), directive(s), ethical guideline(s), etc., which shall, solely and
exclusively, govern and control the employment relationship between the O.C.S.O. and any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and/or the conduct and actions of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. To illustrate, but
not otherwise limit, this Agreement does not and shall not be interpreted to limit, modify, control, or
otherwise affect, in any manner:
a. The complete and unilateral discretion of the SHERIFF to either continue or revoke the
deputization of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, or any other person who, in the SHERIFF'S sole
judgment, he does not believe is qualified or otherwise fit to be a SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
b. The O.C.S.O.'S sole and exclusive right, obligation, responsibility, and discretion to employ,
compensate, assign, reassign, transfer, promote, reclassify, discipline, demote, layoff,
furlough, discharge any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and/or pay any and all SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S
wages, salaries, allowances, reimbursements, compensation, fringe benefits, or otherwise
decide any and all such terms and conditions of employment and make any and all
employment decisions that affect, in any way, the employment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
with the O.C.S.D, subject only to its collective bargaining Agreements.
c. The SHERIFF'S sole and exclusive right, obligation, and responsibility to determine,
establish, modify, or implement any and all operational policies, procedures, orders, rules,
regulations, ethical guidelines, and/or any other judgment, policy or directive which, in any
way, governs or controls any activity of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, any necessary SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S training standards or proficiency(ies), any level or amount of required supervision,
any and all standards of performance, any sequence or manner of performance, and any
level(s) of experience, training, or education required for any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
performing any O.C.S.O. duty or obligation under the terms of this Agreement.
24. The SHERIFF and the COUNTY reserve to themselves any rights and obligations relating to the
provision of any and all police and/or governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, and this
Agreement does not, and is not intended to, diminish, delegate, divest, impair, or contravene any
constitutional, statutory, and/or other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, capacity, immunity,
or character of office of either the SHERIFF, the COUNTY, and/or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The
COUNTY and the SHERIFF further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is neither intended,
nor shall it be interpreted, so as to create, grant, modify, supersede, alter, or change, in any manner
or form, any right, privilege, benefit, or any other term or condition of employment, of any kind or
nature whatsoever, in, upon, or for any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S agent(s),
representative(s), union(s), or the successor(s) or assign(s) of any of them.
25. This Agreement is made and entered into in the State of Michigan and shall in all respects be
interpreted, enforced and governed under the laws of the State of Michigan. The language of all
parts of this Agreement shall in all cases be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and
not construed strictly for or against any party. As used in this Agreement, the singular or plural
number, the possessive or nonpossessive, shall be deemed to include the other whenever the
context so indicates or requires.
26. Absent an expressly written waiver, the failure of any party to pursue any right granted under this
Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of that right with regard to any existing or subsequent
breach or default under this Agreement. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise of
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
902

c. "MUNICIPALITY AGENT" shall be defined to include any and all MUNICIPALITY employees,
managers, departments, divisions, volunteers, agents, representatives, predecessors,
successors, attorneys, or auditors, other than MUNICIPALITY OFFICIALS as defined above

Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
906
of the Number(s) and Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES contracted for by the
MUNICIPALITY in this Agreement. The governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
contemplated and to be provided under this Agreement are strictly limited to those
governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES authorized by law to be performed by the
O.C.S.O.
g. "SHERIFF'S DEPUTY" or "SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES" shall be defined to include any Captain,
Lieutenant, Sergeant, Deputy II, Deputy I, Patrol Investigator, Detective Sergeant, or any
other person or persons of any rank, classification, or title who, pursuant to state law, is a

2. The SHERIFF shall assign SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES, in such Number(s) and Rank(s) as shown in
SCHEDULE A - SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES CONTRACTED FOR AND TO BE ASSIGNED TO
MUNICIPALITY (hereafter "SCHEDULE A"), which is attached to, incorporated in and made part of
this Agreement, to perform any and all O.C.S.O. LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES contemplated in
this Agreement within the corporate limits of the MUNICIPALITY, including all private roads. LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, as defined above, shall not include O.C.S.O. police-related "Support
Services," such as Marine Division, Arson Investigation, Detective and Crime Lab services, which the
O.C.S.O. now provides on a County-wide basis, unless expressly stated to the contrary herein.
Nevertheless, such additional "Support Services" shall continue to be made available, at no additional
cost to the MUNICIPALITY, to the same extent that the O.C.S.O. continues to make such law
enforcement "Support Services" available, at no additional charge, to all other communities within
Oakland County.
a. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that, except as provided for under the terms of this
Agreement, the SHERIFF has only limited responsibility for LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES in the MUNICIPALITY and is not otherwise required, except as provided herein,
to assign any specific Number(s) or Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES to provide LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
b. The SHERIFF will make every reasonable effort to provide professional LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY, following generally accepted standards
for police protection, with the levels of staff provided for in SCHEDULE A.
c. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be
interpreted to include any warranty, promise or guaranty, either express or implied, or of any
kind or nature whatsoever, in favor of the MUNICIPALITY and/or any other person or
MUNICIPALITY resident that the O.C.S.O.'S provision of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
under this Agreement will result in any specific reduction or prevention of criminal activity
within the MUNICIPALITY or any other performance-based outcome.
3. The O.C.S.O. and the MUNICIPALITY agree that the sole and exclusive purpose of this Agreement is
to provide governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES in and for the MUNICIPALITY. Except
as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that this
Agreement does not, and is not intended to, create, by implication or otherwise, any specific, direct or
indirect obligation, duty, promise, benefit, and/or special right to O.C.S.O.' s LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES in favor of or to the benefit of any particular person(s) beyond the O.C.S.O.'S and/or any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S law enforcement officer duty, as established under existing law, to the
general public.
4. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted
for and assigned to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY, as provided
for in SCHEDULE A, shall work, during those hours for which the MUNICIPALITY is being charged,
only on MUNICIPALITY-related police matters. It is understood and agreed, however, that "Mutual
Aid" between communities may be provided to surrounding communities. "Mutual Aid," as used in the
previous sentence, means that any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to the
MUNICIPALITY may be absent from the MUNICIPALITY, at MUNICIPALITY expense, when
temporarily called to the aid of another community due to an emergency or other exceptional
circumstance or because a SHERIFF'S DEPUTY possesses some special skill or qualification
temporarily needed in that other community.
5. Under the terms of this Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall assign to the MUNICIPALITY the Number(s)
and Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES shown in SCHEDULE A to perform all of the LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES contemplated under this Agreement. As used throughout this
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
907
Agreement, any reference to the Number(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES, as shown in SCHEDULE A,
shall be defined and quantified as EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during
a bi-weekly period by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY of the specified Rank(s), for each of the SHERIFF'S
DEPUTIES contracted for and assigned by the SHERIFF to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
a. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this subparagraph or in SCHEDULE A,
whenever any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to provide LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY is not present in the MUNICIPALITY
geographical area, due to any of the reasons described in subparagraphs 1 - 6 below, such
periods of time shall be included in and counted toward the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the bi-weekly period in which it occurred.
1. Travel time, on a daily basis, to or from the O.C.S.O. in Pontiac, Michigan, at the
beginning or end of any shift by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, if that SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S shift starts or ends in Pontiac; and
2. Attendance (not to exceed 100 hours per SHERIFF'S DEPUTY per calendar year) at
any O.C.S.O. authorized or required training session, function or meeting; and
3. Provision of any Mutual Aid as described and defined above; and
4. Appearance in any Court or at any meeting with any other law enforcement agency in
connection with any prosecution or Court appearance related to MUNICIPALITY law
enforcement activities; and
5. Performance of any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the MUNICIPALITY that
takes any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY outside the MUNICIPALITY'S geographical area;
and
6. Any approved period of annual leave, sick leave, holiday leave, personal leave, or
any other approved, paid leave (except any paid disciplinary leave and/or long-term
disability leave extending beyond a period of five (5) working days) granted to any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in accordance with applicable O.C.S.O. policies, procedures,
and/or employment contracts.
b. Subject to the SHERIFF'S right to consolidate the assigned shifts of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES
in order to concentrate law enforcement efforts to meet particular law enforcement priorities
and needs, the SHERIFF shall assign shifts to SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES contracted for under
this Agreement so as to provide the broadest possible coverage of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
c. All O.C.S.O. policies, procedures, employment contracts, etc., which may be applicable to
this Agreement shall be made available by the SHERIFF for inspection by the
MUNICIPALITY LIAISON at the O.C.S.O., by appointment, during normal business hours.
6. Subject to the SHERIFF'S sole discretion and judgment as to the county-wide prioritization of
resources and law enforcement needs, any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES, beyond the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during a bi-
weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, may be made available by the SHERIFF to the
MUNICIPALITY on an overtime basis. Except for overtime incurred due to late calls, report writing,
court appearances, emergencies, or holiday pay overtime, as shown in SCHEDULE B - HOLIDAY
PAY (hereafter "SCHEDULE B") which is attached to, incorporated in and made a part of this
Agreement, all other overtime charges incurred by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, which are charged to
the MUNICIPALITY, shall be approved, in advance, in writing, by the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. Any
such additional hours of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES provided shall
be invoiced to and paid by the MUNICIPALITY directly to the COUNTY at the Overtime Hourly Rates
shown in SCHEDULE C - HOURLY RATES (hereafter "SCHEDULE C") which is attached to,
incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement, and shall be in addition to any amounts otherwise
due and owing under the terms of this Agreement. If, however, in the unlikely event that the O.C.S.O.
is able to provide any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES as requested by the
MUNICIPALITY in addition to the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during
a bi-weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, without the O.C.S.O. actually incurring any
direct or indirect obligation to pay any overtime premium to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY as a result, the
Regular Hourly Rates shown in SCHEDULE C for those additional hours of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES for which the O.C.S.O. does not incur any overtime obligation shall be invoiced and paid
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
908
by the MUNICIPALITY as otherwise provided herein. All holiday pay charges to the MUNICIPALITY
shall be calculated and invoiced in accordance with SCHEDULE B.
7. The MUNICIPALITY shall not have the right under this Agreement to assign, delegate, or otherwise,
transfer, promise, commit, or lend any O.C.S.O.'S or SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S services, duties, or
obligations under this Agreement to any other public or private person, corporation, entity, or
organization of any kind. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY perceives the need for any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES beyond those SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' services
contracted for in SCHEDULE A, due to some unusual MUNICIPALITY circumstances that, in the
MUNICIPALITY'S judgment, may require additional LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, the
MUNICIPALITY shall address such concerns for additional LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the
SHERIFF as provided for in this Agreement (i.e., preceding Paragraph).
8. The MUNICIPALITY will pay the O.C.S.O. for all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES rendered pursuant to this Agreement at the bi-weekly rates shown in SCHEDULE A. The
MUNICIPALITY further agrees to reimburse the O.C.S.O. for any and all additional hours of work,
overtime, and/or holiday pay costs incurred by the O.C.S.O. in providing LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this Agreement. For every bi-weekly period
(corresponding to established O.C.S.O. payroll periods) during which any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
renders any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this
Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall prepare and send to the MUNICIPALITY an invoice that sets forth the
bi-weekly amount due for each SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES rendered
during that bi-weekly period, plus any charges for any additional hours of work, overtime, and/or
holiday pay, as provided for herein, during that bi-weekly billing period. All overtime charges are to be
itemized and designated for the reason incurred. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to pay to the COUNTY
the full amounts due on any such invoice within 30 days of the invoice date.
9. Should the MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts required
under this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that upon notice from the Oakland County
Treasurer to the Treasurer of the State of Michigan (or any other State of Michigan official authorized
to disburse funds to the MUNICIPALITY), the State of Michigan is authorized to withhold any funds
due the MUNICIPALITY from the State and assign those funds to partially or completely offset any
deficiency by the MUNCIPALITY to the County. Such funds shall be paid directly to the COUNTY.
Further, the MUNCIPALITY waives any claims against the State or COUNTY, or their respective
officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY. Furthermore, should the MUNICIPALITY fail for
any reason to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts required under this Agreement, the County
Treasurer shall be entitled to set-off and retain any amounts due the MUNICIPALITY from Delinquent
Tax Revolving Fund (“DTFR”) or any other source of funds due to the MUNCIPALITY in possession
of the County, to partially or completely offset any deficiency by the MUNICIPALITY, unless expressly
prohibited by law. Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment unless expressly prohibited by
law. Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY.
Further, the MUNICIPALITY waives any claims against the COUNTY, or its officials, for any such
amounts paid to the COUNTY. Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to limit in any way the
COUNTY’S right to pursue any other legal remedies against the MUNCIPALITY for the
reimbursement of amounts due the COUNTY under this Agreement. The remedies in this paragraph
are available to the COUNTY on an ongoing and successive basis, as the MUNICIPALITY becomes
delinquent in its payments.
10. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. agree and warrant that neither the O.C.S.O. nor any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise, shall be considered or claimed to be
an employee of the MUNICIPALITY and further agree that, at all times and for all purposes under the
terms of this Agreement, the O.C.S.O.'S legal status and relationship to the MUNICIPALITY shall be
that of an INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees that in any writing or
any other communication prepared by, for, or at the direction of the MUNICIPALITY, the
MUNICIPALITY shall neither state, suggest, nor imply that any employment status and/or
employment relationship exists between any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and the MUNICIPALITY.
11. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. agree and warrant that, at all times and for all purposes
relevant to this Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall remain the sole and exclusive employer of all
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES and that the O.C.S.O. shall remain solely and exclusively responsible for the
payment of all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' wages, compensation, overtime wages, expenses, fringe

benefits, pension or retirement benefits, travel expenses, mileage allowances, training expenses,
transportation costs, and/or other allowances or reimbursements of any kind, including, but not limited
to, workers' disability compensation, unemployment compensation, Social Security Act protection(s)
and benefits, any employment taxes, and/or any other statutory or contractual right or benefit based,
in any way, upon any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S status as an employee of the O.C.S.O. Except as
expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY shall not grant, give, allow, pay,
reimburse, compensate, or otherwise provide any wages, fringe benefits, privileges, gifts, equipment,
automobiles, personal property, supplies, benefits, entitlement, consideration (monetary or otherwise)
or any other thing of value, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any
individual SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. Any consideration, monetary or otherwise, paid directly to the
COUNTY and/or any personal property, automobiles, or any portable equipment (e.g., portable
telephones, portable computers, beepers, etc.) supplied, provided, and/or leased directly to the
COUNTY shall not, for any purpose of this Agreement, be interpreted as being provided by the
MUNICIPALITY, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any individual
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
12. The MUNICIPALITY may, in its discretion, in such locations and circumstances as it decides, provide
suitable office space, office equipment, all required utilities and related facilities (e.g., desks, chairs,
copying machines, fax machines, typewriters, permanently installed telephones, lockers, locker room
facilities, uniform changing areas, etc.) in MUNICIPALITY-owned or leased buildings to the O.C.S.O.
for use by SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, which shall be referred to as a
MUNICIPALITY "Sub-Station". Alternatively, the O.C.S.O. may provide or supplement any existing
desks, chairs, copying machines, fax machines, etc. located in the MUNICIPALITY Sub-Station with
O.C.S.O. personal property and equipment. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that the
MUNICIPALITY benefits in providing a Sub-Station for O.C.S.O. use by minimizing the time spent by
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY driving from the main O.C.S.O. Law
Enforcement Complex in Pontiac, Michigan, to the MUNICIPALITY to perform certain paper and desk
work and eliminating the "lost drive time" to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES within the
MUNICIPALITY due to the fact that SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES otherwise would begin and end their work
shift(s) at the main O.C.S.O. Law Enforcement Complex instead of within the MUNICIPALITY. The
MUNICIPALITY'S provision of any Sub-Station facilities and/or the use of any Sub-Station facilities by
the O.C.S.O. shall be by mutual agreement and consent of the parties. Under no circumstances shall
the MUNICIPALITY be obligated under the terms of this Agreement to provide any such Sub-Station
facilities, nor shall the O.C.S.O. be obligated to use any such Sub-Station facilities if offered. If the
MUNICIPALITY decides it will offer to provide the O.C.S.O. with Sub-Station facilities and the
O.C.S.O. agrees to use such Sub-Station facilities, the following terms and conditions shall apply:
a. Use of a Sub-Station shall be deemed to be a MUNICIPALITY grant of a revocable,
nonexclusive License over that portion of such MUNICIPALITY premises for use by the
O.C.S.O. and SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY.
b. The MUNICIPALITY will be responsible for maintenance of the premises, which includes: any
necessary repairs, improvements, installation and maintenance of all necessary security
locks, devices and fire safety devices and safety precautions, reconstruction, custodial
services, including rubbish and trash removal for the Facility, and also includes the provision
of utilities required to operate the facility for the purposes of this License, including, but not
limited to, heat, air conditioning, power, and water (but excluding any monthly telephone
charges for permanently installed Sub-Station telephone), at no cost to the O.C.S.O.
c. Use of the Sub-Station License shall end upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement
as provided herein. Any such Sub-Station License shall also be terminable, at any time and
for any reason, by the MUNICIPALITY, the COUNTY, or the SHERIFF.
d. SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES shall use due care in their use of any Sub-Station facilities and
equipment. The MUNICIPALITY agrees that the MUNICIPALITY and the MUNICIPALITY’s
Insurance Carrier will waive all rights of subrogation against OAKLAND COUNTY for any loss
or damage to the Sub-Station premises or property therein which is owned or insured by the
Municipality. The MUNICIPALITY will provide the COUNTY with a Certificate of insurance
that contains the following language: “The MUNICIPALITY and the Insurance Carrier named
herein agree to waive all rights of subrogation against Oakland County for any loss or
damage to premises or property owned by or insured by the MUNICIPALITY”. The
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009

MUNICIPALITY will provide this Certificate of Insurance to the Oakland County Sheriff’s
Office, County Service Center, Building #38 East, 1200 N. Telegraph Road, Pontiac,
Michigan 48341-1044 prior to January 1, 2010. All Certificates of Insurance are subject to
approval by the Oakland County Office of Risk Management.
13. Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that this Agreement
does not, and is not intended to, transfer, delegate, or assign to the COUNTY, the SHERIFF, and/or
any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY any civil or legal responsibility, obligation, duty of care, or liability
associated with any governmental function delegated and/or entrusted to the MUNICIPALITY under
existing law.
14. Except as expressly provided for under the terms of this Agreement, no SHERIFF'S DEPUTY while
acting under the terms of this Agreement shall perform any services directly or otherwise be available
to perform any other work or assignments, and no SHERIFF'S DEPUTY shall be otherwise employed
or utilized, in any manner or capacity, by the MUNICIPALITY.
15. The MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may contact the O.C.S.O. LIAISON, as defined above, to request,
advise, or otherwise make the O.C.S.O. aware of particular law enforcement needs and services
within the MUNICIPALITY, or to provide other relevant information which has come to the attention of
the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. The MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may also bring to the SHERIFF'S
attention any concerns that the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may have regarding the assignment of any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY to the MUNICIPALITY. The SHERIFF shall provide the MUNICIPALITY
LIAISON an opportunity to interview and meet any command officers before they are assigned to the
MUNICIPALITY; however, the SHERIFF'S decision on the assignment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
shall be final. The O.C.S.O. LIAISON shall, only to the extent that any such communication would not
interfere in an ongoing criminal investigation or prosecution, keep the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON
reasonably informed regarding criminal and/or law enforcement activities within the MUNICIPALITY
and advise the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON, as soon as practicable, of any changes in any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to perform LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the
MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, however, neither the
MUNICIPALITY nor the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON shall otherwise provide, furnish or assign any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with any job instructions, job descriptions, job specifications, or job duties, or in
any manner attempt to control, supervise, train, or direct any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in the
performance of any O.C.S.O.'S duty or obligation under the terms of this Agreement.
16. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to promptly notify and/or provide the SHERIFF with any information that
may come to its knowledge or possession regarding any act contrary to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, or any other questionable act(s) or omission(s), or any allegation of same, by any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees that it shall promptly deliver to the SHERIFF
written notice and copies of any complaint(s), charge(s), or any other accusation(s) or allegation(s) of
wrongdoing, whether civil or criminal in nature, which the MUNICIPALITY becomes aware of
regarding any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to cooperate with the O.C.S.O. in
any investigation conducted by the SHERIFF into the character and/or fitness of any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY.
17. The O.C.S.O. shall be solely and exclusively responsible for providing SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES with all
necessary tools, automobiles, radios, communications equipment, firearms, and any and all other
equipment that the O.C.S.O., in its sole judgment, deems required or beneficial for the completion of
any O.C.S.O.'S duty under the terms of this Agreement. The O.C.S.O. shall also be solely and
exclusively responsible for any and all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' business expenses, licenses, taxes,
uniform or equipment costs, insurance(s), supplies, etc., except that any stationery, notices, forms,
MUNICIPALITY ordinance appearance tickets, etc., which are required to bear the name of the
MUNICIPALITY, shall be supplied to the O.C.S.O. by the MUNICIPALITY at the MUNICIPALITY'S
sole cost and expense. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY wants any special or additional personal
property or equipment (i.e., cellular telephones, beepers, personal items or equipment, portable
computers, automobiles, motorcycles, etc.) to be provided, at MUNICIPALITY expense or otherwise,
to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, the MUNICIPALITY shall direct such
requests to the O.C.S.O. which shall solely decide whether such personal property or special
equipment shall be provided. Any and all such additional personal property, portable or individual use
equipment or property, and/or any special equipment to be provided by the MUNICIPALITY shall be
provided directly and exclusively to the O.C.S.O., and then ONLY pursuant to a separate written
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009

lease agreement between the MUNICIPALITY and the COUNTY. As intended by this Paragraph and
elsewhere in this Agreement, no personal property, supplies, or other equipment, nor the use thereof,
shall be provided or made available by the MUNICIPALITY directly to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY,
except through a written lease as provided for in this paragraph.
18. Each party shall be responsible for its own acts and/or omissions and the acts and/or omissions of its
employees and agents under the terms of this Agreement, the costs associated with those acts
and/or omissions, and the defense of those acts and/or omissions. This Agreement does not, and is
not intended to, waive, impair, divest, delegate, or contravene any constitutional, statutory, and/or
other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, or immunity of the Parties.
19. Subject to the following Paragraph, this Agreement shall become effective at 12:01 A.M., January 1,
2010, and shall remain in effect continuously until it expires, without any further act or notice being
required by either party, at 11:59 P.M. on December 31, 2010. In addition, any party may terminate
this Agreement, prior to its December 31, 2009 expiration, upon written notification to all others at
least ninety (90) days prior to the proposed termination date, which date shall be clearly stated in the
written notice. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, all further O.C.S.O.'S obligations
to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under this Agreement shall end.
20. This Agreement, and any subsequent amendments, shall not become effective prior to the approval
by concurrent resolutions of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners and the MUNICIPALITY
Governing Body. The approval and terms of this Agreement shall be entered in the official minutes
and proceedings of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners and MUNICIPALITY Governing Body and
shall also be filed with the office of the Clerk for the COUNTY and the MUNICIPALITY. In addition,
this Agreement and any subsequent amendments shall be filed with the Secretary of State for the
State of Michigan by the O.C.S.O. and shall not become effective or implemented prior to its filing
with the Secretary of State.
21. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY wishes to enter into a new agreement for LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES upon the expiration of this Agreement, it will notify the O.C.S.O., in writing, of this intent
no later than July 31, 2010. If the MUNICIPALITY, as above, notifies the O.C.S.O. of its intent to
enter into a new agreement, and the O.C.S.O. has a similar interest, the O.C.S.O. shall present the
MUNICIPALITY with a new proposed agreement for continued LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
on, or before, August 22, 2010. In no event shall this paragraph be interpreted to obligate the
O.C.S.O. or the MUNICIPALITY to continue any Agreement for any LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES beyond the expiration of this Agreement unless a new fully executed contract is executed
by the parties. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY terminates this Agreement or elects not to enter
into a subsequent agreement because it decides to establish its own police department, the
MUNICIPALITY agrees to consider for employment in its police department any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
who may be laid off by the O.C.S.O. as a result of this decision, but in no event shall the
MUNICIPALITY be obligated to hire any such SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
22. The parties shall send, by first class mail, all correspondence and written notices required or
permitted by this Agreement to each signatory to this Agreement, or any signatory successor in office,
to the addresses shown in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided for herein, all
correspondence or written notices shall be considered delivered to a party as of the date that such
notice is deposited with sufficient postage with the U.S. Postal Service.
23. This Agreement is neither intended, nor shall it be interpreted, to create, change, modify, supplement,
supersede, or otherwise affect or control, in any manner or at any time, the terms or conditions of
employment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with the O.C.S.O., any applicable O.C.S.O. employment
and/or union contract, and/or any O.C.S.O. rule(s), regulation(s), hours of work, shift assignment,
order(s), policy(ies), procedure(s), directive(s), ethical guideline(s), etc., which shall, solely and
exclusively, govern and control the employment relationship between the O.C.S.O. and any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and/or the conduct and actions of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. To illustrate, but
not otherwise limit, this Agreement does not and shall not be interpreted to limit, modify, control, or
otherwise affect, in any manner:
a. The complete and unilateral discretion of the SHERIFF to either continue or revoke the
deputization of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, or any other person who, in the SHERIFF'S sole
judgment, he does not believe is qualified or otherwise fit to be a SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.

decide any and all such terms and conditions of employment and make any and all
employment decisions that affect, in any way, the employment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
with the O.C.S.D, subject only to its collective bargaining Agreements.
c. The SHERIFF'S sole and exclusive right, obligation, and responsibility to determine,
establish, modify, or implement any and all operational policies, procedures, orders, rules,

level(s) of experience, training, or education required for any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
performing any O.C.S.O. duty or obligation under the terms of this Agreement.
24. The SHERIFF and the COUNTY reserve to themselves any rights and obligations relating to the
provision of any and all police and/or governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, and this
Agreement does not, and is not intended to, diminish, delegate, divest, impair, or contravene any
constitutional, statutory, and/or other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, capacity, immunity,
or character of office of either the SHERIFF, the COUNTY, and/or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The
COUNTY and the SHERIFF further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is neither intended,
nor shall it be interpreted, so as to create, grant, modify, supersede, alter, or change, in any manner
or form, any right, privilege, benefit, or any other term or condition of employment, of any kind or
nature whatsoever, in, upon, or for any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S agent(s),
representative(s), union(s), or the successor(s) or assign(s) of any of them.
25. This Agreement is made and entered into in the State of Michigan and shall in all respects be
interpreted, enforced and governed under the laws of the State of Michigan. The language of all
parts of this Agreement shall in all cases be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and
not construed strictly for or against any party. As used in this Agreement, the singular or plural
number, the possessive or nonpossessive, shall be deemed to include the other whenever the
context so indicates or requires.
26. Absent an expressly written waiver, the failure of any party to pursue any right granted under this
Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of that right with regard to any existing or subsequent
breach or default under this Agreement. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, power or
privilege.
27. This Agreement shall be binding upon the COUNTY, the SHERIFF, and the MUNICIPALITY to the
extent permitted by law, upon their successors and assigns, and all persons acting by, through,
under, or in concert with any of them.
28. This Agreement, consisting of fifteen (15) pages, including SCHEDULE A, SCHEDULE B, and
SCHEDULE C (incorporated herein), sets forth the entire Agreement between the O.C.S.O. and the
MUNICIPALITY with regard to the O.C.S.O.'S provision of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES and/or
any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S services to the MUNICIPALITY, and fully supersedes any and all prior
agreements or understandings between them in any way related to the subject matter hereof. It is
further understood and agreed that the terms of this Agreement are contractual and are not mere
recitals and that there are no other agreements, understandings, or representations between the
O.C.S.O. and the MUNICIPALITY in any way related to the subject matter hereof, except as
expressly stated herein. This Agreement shall not be changed or supplemented orally. This
Agreement may be amended only by concurrent resolutions of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners

SCHEDULE A - SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES CONTRACTED FOR AND TO BE ASSIGNED TO
MUNICIPALITY (hereafter "SCHEDULE A"), which is attached to, incorporated in and made part of
this Agreement, to perform any and all O.C.S.O. LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES contemplated in
this Agreement within the corporate limits of the MUNICIPALITY, including all private roads. LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, as defined above, shall not include O.C.S.O. police-related "Support
Services," such as Marine Division, Arson Investigation, Detective and Crime Lab services, which the

Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
917
cost to the MUNICIPALITY, to the same extent that the O.C.S.O. continues to make such law
enforcement "Support Services" available, at no additional charge, to all other communities within
Oakland County.
a. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that, except as provided for under the terms of this
Agreement, the SHERIFF has only limited responsibility for LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES in the MUNICIPALITY and is not otherwise required, except as provided herein,
to assign any specific Number(s) or Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES to provide LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
b. The SHERIFF will make every reasonable effort to provide professional LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY, following generally accepted standards
for police protection, with the levels of staff provided for in SCHEDULE A.
c. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be
interpreted to include any warranty, promise or guaranty, either express or implied, or of any
kind or nature whatsoever, in favor of the MUNICIPALITY and/or any other person or
MUNICIPALITY resident that the O.C.S.O.'S provision of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
under this Agreement will result in any specific reduction or prevention of criminal activity
within the MUNICIPALITY or any other performance-based outcome.
3. The O.C.S.O. and the MUNICIPALITY agree that the sole and exclusive purpose of this Agreement is
to provide governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES in and for the MUNICIPALITY. Except
as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that this
Agreement does not, and is not intended to, create, by implication or otherwise, any specific, direct or
indirect obligation, duty, promise, benefit, and/or special right to O.C.S.O.' s LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES in favor of or to the benefit of any particular person(s) beyond the O.C.S.O.'S and/or any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S law enforcement officer duty, as established under existing law, to the
general public.
4. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted
for and assigned to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY, as provided
for in SCHEDULE A, shall work, during those hours for which the MUNICIPALITY is being charged,
only on MUNICIPALITY-related police matters. It is understood and agreed, however, that "Mutual
Aid" between communities may be provided to surrounding communities. "Mutual Aid," as used in the
previous sentence, means that any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to the
MUNICIPALITY may be absent from the MUNICIPALITY, at MUNICIPALITY expense, when
temporarily called to the aid of another community due to an emergency or other exceptional
circumstance or because a SHERIFF'S DEPUTY possesses some special skill or qualification
temporarily needed in that other community.
5. Under the terms of this Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall assign to the MUNICIPALITY the Number(s)
and Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES shown in SCHEDULE A to perform all of the LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES contemplated under this Agreement. As used throughout this
Agreement, any reference to the Number(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES, as shown in SCHEDULE A,
shall be defined and quantified as EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during
a bi-weekly period by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY of the specified Rank(s), for each of the SHERIFF'S
DEPUTIES contracted for and assigned by the SHERIFF to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
a. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this subparagraph or in SCHEDULE A,
whenever any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to provide LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY is not present in the MUNICIPALITY
geographical area, due to any of the reasons described in subparagraphs 1 - 6 below, such
periods of time shall be included in and counted toward the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the bi-weekly period in which it occurred.
1. Travel time, on a daily basis, to or from the O.C.S.O. in Pontiac, Michigan, at the
beginning or end of any shift by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, if that SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S shift starts or ends in Pontiac; and
2. Attendance (not to exceed 100 hours per SHERIFF'S DEPUTY per calendar year) at
any O.C.S.O. authorized or required training session, function or meeting; and
3. Provision of any Mutual Aid as described and defined above; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
918
4. Appearance in any Court or at any meeting with any other law enforcement agency in
connection with any prosecution or Court appearance related to MUNICIPALITY law
enforcement activities; and
5. Performance of any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the MUNICIPALITY that
takes any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY outside the MUNICIPALITY'S geographical area;
and
6. Any approved period of annual leave, sick leave, holiday leave, personal leave, or
any other approved, paid leave (except any paid disciplinary leave and/or long-term
disability leave extending beyond a period of five (5) working days) granted to any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in accordance with applicable O.C.S.O. policies, procedures,
and/or employment contracts.
b. Subject to the SHERIFF'S right to consolidate the assigned shifts of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES in
order to concentrate law enforcement efforts to meet particular law enforcement priorities and
needs, the SHERIFF shall assign shifts to SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES contracted for under this
Agreement so as to provide the broadest possible coverage of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
c. All O.C.S.O. policies, procedures, employment contracts, etc., which may be applicable to this
Agreement shall be made available by the SHERIFF for inspection by the MUNICIPALITY
LIAISON at the O.C.S.O., by appointment, during normal business hours.
6. Subject to the SHERIFF'S sole discretion and judgment as to the county-wide prioritization of
resources and law enforcement needs, any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES, beyond the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during a bi-
weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, may be made available by the SHERIFF to the
MUNICIPALITY on an overtime basis. Except for overtime incurred due to late calls, report writing,
court appearances, emergencies, or holiday pay overtime, as shown in SCHEDULE B - HOLIDAY
PAY (hereafter "SCHEDULE B") which is attached to, incorporated in and made a part of this
Agreement, all other overtime charges incurred by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, which are charged to
the MUNICIPALITY, shall be approved, in advance, in writing, by the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. Any
such additional hours of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES provided shall
be invoiced to and paid by the MUNICIPALITY directly to the COUNTY at the Overtime Hourly Rates
shown in SCHEDULE C - HOURLY RATES (hereafter "SCHEDULE C") which is attached to,
incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement, and shall be in addition to any amounts otherwise
due and owing under the terms of this Agreement. If, however, in the unlikely event that the O.C.S.O.
is able to provide any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES as requested by the
MUNICIPALITY in addition to the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during
a bi-weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, without the O.C.S.O. actually incurring any
direct or indirect obligation to pay any overtime premium to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY as a result, the
Regular Hourly Rates shown in SCHEDULE C for those additional hours of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES for which the O.C.S.O. does not incur any overtime obligation shall be invoiced and paid
by the MUNICIPALITY as otherwise provided herein. All holiday pay charges to the MUNICIPALITY
shall be calculated and invoiced in accordance with SCHEDULE B.
7. The MUNICIPALITY shall not have the right under this Agreement to assign, delegate, or otherwise,
transfer, promise, commit, or lend any O.C.S.O.'S or SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S services, duties, or
obligations under this Agreement to any other public or private person, corporation, entity, or
organization of any kind. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY perceives the need for any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES beyond those SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' services
contracted for in SCHEDULE A, due to some unusual MUNICIPALITY circumstances that, in the
MUNICIPALITY'S judgment, may require additional LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, the
MUNICIPALITY shall address such concerns for additional LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the
SHERIFF as provided for in this Agreement (i.e., preceding Paragraph).
8. The MUNICIPALITY will pay the O.C.S.O. for all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES rendered pursuant to this Agreement at the bi-weekly rates shown in SCHEDULE A. The
MUNICIPALITY further agrees to reimburse the O.C.S.O. for any and all additional hours of work,
overtime, and/or holiday pay costs incurred by the O.C.S.O. in providing LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this Agreement. For every bi-weekly period
(corresponding to established O.C.S.O. payroll periods) during which any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
919
renders any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this
Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall prepare and send to the MUNICIPALITY an invoice that sets forth the
bi-weekly amount due for each SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES rendered
during that bi-weekly period, plus any charges for any additional hours of work, overtime, and/or
holiday pay, as provided for herein, during that bi-weekly billing period. All overtime charges are to be
itemized and designated for the reason incurred. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to pay to the COUNTY
the full amounts due on any such invoice within 30 days of the invoice date.
9. Should the MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts required
under this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that upon notice from the Oakland County
Treasurer to the Treasurer of the State of Michigan (or any other State of Michigan official authorized
to disburse funds to the MUNICIPALITY), the State of Michigan is authorized to withhold any funds
due the MUNICIPALITY from the State and assign those funds to partially or completely offset any
deficiency by the MUNCIPALITY to the County. Such funds shall be paid directly to the COUNTY.
Further, the MUNCIPALITY waives any claims against the State or COUNTY, or their respective
officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY. Furthermore, should the MUNICIPALITY fail for
any reason to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts required under this Agreement, the County
Treasurer shall be entitled to set-off and retain any amounts due the MUNICIPALITY from Delinquent
Tax Revolving Fund (“DTFR”) or any other source of funds due to the MUNCIPALITY in possession
of the County, to partially or completely offset any deficiency by the MUNICIPALITY, unless expressly
prohibited by law. Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment unless expressly prohibited by
law. Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY.
Further, the MUNICIPALITY waives any claims against the COUNTY, or its officials, for any such
amounts paid to the COUNTY. Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to limit in any way the
COUNTY’S right to pursue any other legal remedies against the MUNCIPALITY for the
reimbursement of amounts due the COUNTY under this Agreement. The remedies in this paragraph
are available to the COUNTY on an ongoing and successive basis, as the MUNICIPALITY becomes
delinquent in its payments.
10. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. agree and warrant that neither the O.C.S.O. nor any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise, shall be considered or claimed to be
an employee of the MUNICIPALITY and further agree that, at all times and for all purposes under the
terms of this Agreement, the O.C.S.O.'S legal status and relationship to the MUNICIPALITY shall be
that of an INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees that in any writing or
any other communication prepared by, for, or at the direction of the MUNICIPALITY, the
MUNICIPALITY shall neither state, suggest, nor imply that any employment status and/or
employment relationship exists between any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and the MUNICIPALITY.
11. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. agree and warrant that, at all times and for all purposes
relevant to this Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall remain the sole and exclusive employer of all
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES and that the O.C.S.O. shall remain solely and exclusively responsible for the
payment of all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' wages, compensation, overtime wages, expenses, fringe
benefits, pension or retirement benefits, travel expenses, mileage allowances, training expenses,
transportation costs, and/or other allowances or reimbursements of any kind, including, but not limited
to, workers' disability compensation, unemployment compensation, Social Security Act protection(s)
and benefits, any employment taxes, and/or any other statutory or contractual right or benefit based,
in any way, upon any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S status as an employee of the O.C.S.O. Except as
expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY shall not grant, give, allow, pay,
reimburse, compensate, or otherwise provide any wages, fringe benefits, privileges, gifts, equipment,
automobiles, personal property, supplies, benefits, entitlement, consideration (monetary or otherwise)
or any other thing of value, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any
individual SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. Any consideration, monetary or otherwise, paid directly to the
COUNTY and/or any personal property, automobiles, or any portable equipment (e.g., portable
telephones, portable computers, beepers, etc.) supplied, provided, and/or leased directly to the
COUNTY shall not, for any purpose of this Agreement, be interpreted as being provided by the
MUNICIPALITY, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any individual
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
12. The MUNICIPALITY may, in its discretion, in such locations and circumstances as it decides, provide
suitable office space, office equipment, all required utilities and related facilities (e.g., desks, chairs,
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
920
copying machines, fax machines, typewriters, permanently installed telephones, lockers, locker room
facilities, uniform changing areas, etc.) in MUNICIPALITY-owned or leased buildings to the O.C.S.O.
for use by SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, which shall be referred to as a
MUNICIPALITY "Sub-Station". Alternatively, the O.C.S.O. may provide or supplement any existing
desks, chairs, copying machines, fax machines, etc. located in the MUNICIPALITY Sub-Station with
O.C.S.O. personal property and equipment. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that the
MUNICIPALITY benefits in providing a Sub-Station for O.C.S.O. use by minimizing the time spent by
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY driving from the main O.C.S.O. Law
Enforcement Complex in Pontiac, Michigan, to the MUNICIPALITY to perform certain paper and desk
work and eliminating the "lost drive time" to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES within the
MUNICIPALITY due to the fact that SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES otherwise would begin and end their work
shift(s) at the main O.C.S.O. Law Enforcement Complex instead of within the MUNICIPALITY. The
MUNICIPALITY'S provision of any Sub-Station facilities and/or the use of any Sub-Station facilities by
the O.C.S.O. shall be by mutual agreement and consent of the parties. Under no circumstances shall
the MUNICIPALITY be obligated under the terms of this Agreement to provide any such Sub-Station
facilities, nor shall the O.C.S.O. be obligated to use any such Sub-Station facilities if offered. If the
MUNICIPALITY decides it will offer to provide the O.C.S.O. with Sub-Station facilities and the
O.C.S.O. agrees to use such Sub-Station facilities, the following terms and conditions shall apply:
a. Use of a Sub-Station shall be deemed to be a MUNICIPALITY grant of a revocable,
nonexclusive License over that portion of such MUNICIPALITY premises for use by the
O.C.S.O. and SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY.
b. The MUNICIPALITY will be responsible for maintenance of the premises, which includes: any
necessary repairs, improvements, installation and maintenance of all necessary security
locks, devices and fire safety devices and safety precautions, reconstruction, custodial
services, including rubbish and trash removal for the Facility, and also includes the provision
of utilities required to operate the facility for the purposes of this License, including, but not
limited to, heat, air conditioning, power, and water (but excluding any monthly telephone
charges for permanently installed Sub-Station telephone), at no cost to the O.C.S.O.
c. Use of the Sub-Station License shall end upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement
as provided herein. Any such Sub-Station License shall also be terminable, at any time and
for any reason, by the MUNICIPALITY, the COUNTY, or the SHERIFF.
d. SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES shall use due care in their use of any Sub-Station facilities and
equipment. The MUNICIPALITY agrees that the MUNICIPALITY and the MUNICIPALITY’s
Insurance Carrier will waive all rights of subrogation against OAKLAND COUNTY for any loss
or damage to the Sub-Station premises or property therein which is owned or insured by the
Municipality. The MUNICIPALITY will provide the COUNTY with a Certificate of insurance
that contains the following language: “The MUNICIPALITY and the Insurance Carrier named
herein agree to waive all rights of subrogation against Oakland County for any loss or
damage to premises or property owned by or insured by the MUNICIPALITY”. The
MUNICIPALITY will provide this Certificate of Insurance to the Oakland County Sheriff’s
Office, County Service Center, Building #38 East, 1200 N. Telegraph Road, Pontiac,
Michigan 48341-1044 prior to January 1, 2010. All Certificates of Insurance are subject to
approval by the Oakland County Office of Risk Management.
13. Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that this Agreement
does not, and is not intended to, transfer, delegate, or assign to the COUNTY, the SHERIFF, and/or
any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY any civil or legal responsibility, obligation, duty of care, or liability
associated with any governmental function delegated and/or entrusted to the MUNICIPALITY under
existing law.
14. Except as expressly provided for under the terms of this Agreement, no SHERIFF'S DEPUTY while
acting under the terms of this Agreement shall perform any services directly or otherwise be available
to perform any other work or assignments, and no SHERIFF'S DEPUTY shall be otherwise employed
or utilized, in any manner or capacity, by the MUNICIPALITY.
15. The MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may contact the O.C.S.O. LIAISON, as defined above, to request,
advise, or otherwise make the O.C.S.O. aware of particular law enforcement needs and services
within the MUNICIPALITY, or to provide other relevant information which has come to the attention of
the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. The MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may also bring to the SHERIFF'S
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
921
attention any concerns that the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may have regarding the assignment of any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY to the MUNICIPALITY. The SHERIFF shall provide the MUNICIPALITY
LIAISON an opportunity to interview and meet any command officers before they are assigned to the
MUNICIPALITY; however, the SHERIFF'S decision on the assignment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
shall be final. The O.C.S.O. LIAISON shall, only to the extent that any such communication would not
interfere in an ongoing criminal investigation or prosecution, keep the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON
reasonably informed regarding criminal and/or law enforcement activities within the MUNICIPALITY
and advise the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON, as soon as practicable, of any changes in any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to perform LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the
MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, however, neither the
MUNICIPALITY nor the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON shall otherwise provide, furnish or assign any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with any job instructions, job descriptions, job specifications, or job duties, or in
any manner attempt to control, supervise, train, or direct any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in the
performance of any O.C.S.O.'S duty or obligation under the terms of this Agreement.
16. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to promptly notify and/or provide the SHERIFF with any information that
may come to its knowledge or possession regarding any act contrary to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, or any other questionable act(s) or omission(s), or any allegation of same, by any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees that it shall promptly deliver to the SHERIFF
written notice and copies of any complaint(s), charge(s), or any other accusation(s) or allegation(s) of
wrongdoing, whether civil or criminal in nature, which the MUNICIPALITY becomes aware of
regarding any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to cooperate with the O.C.S.O. in
any investigation conducted by the SHERIFF into the character and/or fitness of any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY.
17. The O.C.S.O. shall be solely and exclusively responsible for providing SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES with all
necessary tools, automobiles, radios, communications equipment, firearms, and any and all other
equipment that the O.C.S.O., in its sole judgment, deems required or beneficial for the completion of
any O.C.S.O.'S duty under the terms of this Agreement. The O.C.S.O. shall also be solely and
exclusively responsible for any and all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' business expenses, licenses, taxes,
uniform or equipment costs, insurance(s), supplies, etc., except that any stationery, notices, forms,
MUNICIPALITY ordinance appearance tickets, etc., which are required to bear the name of the
MUNICIPALITY, shall be supplied to the O.C.S.O. by the MUNICIPALITY at the MUNICIPALITY'S
sole cost and expense. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY wants any special or additional personal
property or equipment (i.e., cellular telephones, beepers, personal items or equipment, portable
computers, automobiles, motorcycles, etc.) to be provided, at MUNICIPALITY expense or otherwise,
to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, the MUNICIPALITY shall direct such
requests to the O.C.S.O. which shall solely decide whether such personal property or special
equipment shall be provided. Any and all such additional personal property, portable or individual use
equipment or property, and/or any special equipment to be provided by the MUNICIPALITY shall be
provided directly and exclusively to the O.C.S.O., and then ONLY pursuant to a separate written
lease agreement between the MUNICIPALITY and the COUNTY. As intended by this Paragraph and
elsewhere in this Agreement, no personal property, supplies, or other equipment, nor the use thereof,
shall be provided or made available by the MUNICIPALITY directly to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY,
except through a written lease as provided for in this paragraph.
18. Each party shall be responsible for its own acts and/or omissions and the acts and/or omissions of its
employees and agents under the terms of this Agreement, the costs associated with those acts
and/or omissions, and the defense of those acts and/or omissions. This Agreement does not, and is
not intended to, waive, impair, divest, delegate, or contravene any constitutional, statutory, and/or
other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, or immunity of the Parties.
19. Subject to the following Paragraph, this Agreement shall become effective at 12:01 A.M., January 1,
2010, and shall remain in effect continuously until it expires, without any further act or notice being
required by either party, at 11:59 P.M. on December 31, 2010. In addition, any party may terminate
this Agreement, prior to its December 31, 2009 expiration, upon written notification to all others at
least ninety (90) days prior to the proposed termination date, which date shall be clearly stated in the
written notice. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, all further O.C.S.O.'S obligations
to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under this Agreement shall end.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009

20. This Agreement, and any subsequent amendments, shall not become effective prior to the approval
by concurrent resolutions of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners and the MUNICIPALITY
Governing Body. The approval and terms of this Agreement shall be entered in the official minutes
and proceedings of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners and MUNICIPALITY Governing Body and
shall also be filed with the office of the Clerk for the COUNTY and the MUNICIPALITY. In addition,
this Agreement and any subsequent amendments shall be filed with the Secretary of State for the
State of Michigan by the O.C.S.O. and shall not become effective or implemented prior to its filing
with the Secretary of State.
21. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY wishes to enter into a new agreement for LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES upon the expiration of this Agreement, it will notify the O.C.S.O., in writing, of this intent
no later than July 31, 2010. If the MUNICIPALITY, as above, notifies the O.C.S.O. of its intent to
enter into a new agreement, and the O.C.S.O. has a similar interest, the O.C.S.O. shall present the
MUNICIPALITY with a new proposed agreement for continued LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
on, or before, August 22, 2010. In no event shall this paragraph be interpreted to obligate the
O.C.S.O. or the MUNICIPALITY to continue any Agreement for any LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES beyond the expiration of this Agreement unless a new fully executed contract is executed
by the parties. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY terminates this Agreement or elects not to enter
into a subsequent agreement because it decides to establish its own police department, the
MUNICIPALITY agrees to consider for employment in its police department any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
who may be laid off by the O.C.S.O. as a result of this decision, but in no event shall the
MUNICIPALITY be obligated to hire any such SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
22. The parties shall send, by first class mail, all correspondence and written notices required or
permitted by this Agreement to each signatory to this Agreement, or any signatory successor in office,
to the addresses shown in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided for herein, all
correspondence or written notices shall be considered delivered to a party as of the date that such
notice is deposited with sufficient postage with the U.S. Postal Service.
23. This Agreement is neither intended, nor shall it be interpreted, to create, change, modify, supplement,
supersede, or otherwise affect or control, in any manner or at any time, the terms or conditions of
employment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with the O.C.S.O., any applicable O.C.S.O. employment
and/or union contract, and/or any O.C.S.O. rule(s), regulation(s), hours of work, shift assignment,
order(s), policy(ies), procedure(s), directive(s), ethical guideline(s), etc., which shall, solely and
exclusively, govern and control the employment relationship between the O.C.S.O. and any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and/or the conduct and actions of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. To illustrate, but
not otherwise limit, this Agreement does not and shall not be interpreted to limit, modify, control, or
otherwise affect, in any manner:
a. The complete and unilateral discretion of the SHERIFF to either continue or revoke the
deputization of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, or any other person who, in the SHERIFF'S sole
judgment, he does not believe is qualified or otherwise fit to be a SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
b. The O.C.S.O.'S sole and exclusive right, obligation, responsibility, and discretion to employ,
compensate, assign, reassign, transfer, promote, reclassify, discipline, demote, layoff,
furlough, discharge any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and/or pay any and all SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S
wages, salaries, allowances, reimbursements, compensation, fringe benefits, or otherwise
decide any and all such terms and conditions of employment and make any and all
employment decisions that affect, in any way, the employment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
with the O.C.S.D, subject only to its collective bargaining Agreements.
c. The SHERIFF'S sole and exclusive right, obligation, and responsibility to determine,
establish, modify, or implement any and all operational policies, procedures, orders, rules,
regulations, ethical guidelines, and/or any other judgment, policy or directive which, in any
way, governs or controls any activity of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, any necessary SHERIFF'S

SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES, or other circumstances involving public safety, a breach of peace,
civil infractions, accidents or accidental injuries, and any related governmental law
enforcement functions as authorized and/or mandated by law as limited by and to the extent
of the Number(s) and Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES contracted for by the
MUNICIPALITY in this Agreement. The governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
contemplated and to be provided under this Agreement are strictly limited to those
governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES authorized by law to be performed by the
O.C.S.O.
g. "SHERIFF'S DEPUTY" or "SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES" shall be defined to include any Captain,
Lieutenant, Sergeant, Deputy II, Deputy I, Patrol Investigator, Detective Sergeant, or any
other person or persons of any rank, classification, or title who, pursuant to state law, is a

2. The SHERIFF shall assign SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES, in such Number(s) and Rank(s) as shown in
SCHEDULE A - SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES CONTRACTED FOR AND TO BE ASSIGNED TO
MUNICIPALITY (hereafter "SCHEDULE A"), which is attached to, incorporated in and made part of
this Agreement, to perform any and all O.C.S.O. LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES contemplated in
this Agreement within the corporate limits of the MUNICIPALITY, including all private roads. LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, as defined above, shall not include O.C.S.O. police-related "Support
Services," such as Marine Division, Arson Investigation, Detective and Crime Lab services, which the
O.C.S.O. now provides on a County-wide basis, unless expressly stated to the contrary herein.
Nevertheless, such additional "Support Services" shall continue to be made available, at no additional
cost to the MUNICIPALITY, to the same extent that the O.C.S.O. continues to make such law
enforcement "Support Services" available, at no additional charge, to all other communities within
Oakland County.
a. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that, except as provided for under the terms of this
Agreement, the SHERIFF has only limited responsibility for LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES in the MUNICIPALITY and is not otherwise required, except as provided herein,
to assign any specific Number(s) or Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES to provide LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
b. The SHERIFF will make every reasonable effort to provide professional LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY, following generally accepted standards
for police protection, with the levels of staff provided for in SCHEDULE A.
c. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be
interpreted to include any warranty, promise or guaranty, either express or implied, or of any
kind or nature whatsoever, in favor of the MUNICIPALITY and/or any other person or
MUNICIPALITY resident that the O.C.S.O.'S provision of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
under this Agreement will result in any specific reduction or prevention of criminal activity
within the MUNICIPALITY or any other performance-based outcome.
3. The O.C.S.O. and the MUNICIPALITY agree that the sole and exclusive purpose of this Agreement is
to provide governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES in and for the MUNICIPALITY. Except
as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that this
Agreement does not, and is not intended to, create, by implication or otherwise, any specific, direct or
indirect obligation, duty, promise, benefit, and/or special right to O.C.S.O.' s LAW ENFORCEMENT

only on MUNICIPALITY-related police matters. It is understood and agreed, however, that "Mutual
Aid" between communities may be provided to surrounding communities. "Mutual Aid," as used in the
previous sentence, means that any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to the
MUNICIPALITY may be absent from the MUNICIPALITY, at MUNICIPALITY expense, when
temporarily called to the aid of another community due to an emergency or other exceptional
circumstance or because a SHERIFF'S DEPUTY possesses some special skill or qualification
temporarily needed in that other community.

928
5. Under the terms of this Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall assign to the MUNICIPALITY the Number(s)
and Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES shown in SCHEDULE A to perform all of the LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES contemplated under this Agreement. As used throughout this
Agreement, any reference to the Number(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES, as shown in SCHEDULE A,
shall be defined and quantified as EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during
a bi-weekly period by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY of the specified Rank(s), for each of the SHERIFF'S
DEPUTIES contracted for and assigned by the SHERIFF to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
a. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this subparagraph or in SCHEDULE A,
whenever any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to provide LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY is not present in the MUNICIPALITY
geographical area, due to any of the reasons described in subparagraphs 1 - 6 below, such
periods of time shall be included in and counted toward the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the bi-weekly period in which it occurred.
1. Travel time, on a daily basis, to or from the O.C.S.O. in Pontiac, Michigan, at the
beginning or end of any shift by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, if that SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S shift starts or ends in Pontiac; and
2. Attendance (not to exceed 100 hours per SHERIFF'S DEPUTY per calendar year) at
any O.C.S.O. authorized or required training session, function or meeting; and
3. Provision of any Mutual Aid as described and defined above; and
4. Appearance in any Court or at any meeting with any other law enforcement agency in
connection with any prosecution or Court appearance related to MUNICIPALITY law
enforcement activities; and
5. Performance of any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the MUNICIPALITY that
takes any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY outside the MUNICIPALITY'S geographical area;
and
6. Any approved period of annual leave, sick leave, holiday leave, personal leave, or
any other approved, paid leave (except any paid disciplinary leave and/or long-term
disability leave extending beyond a period of five (5) working days) granted to any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in accordance with applicable O.C.S.O. policies, procedures,
and/or employment contracts.
b. Subject to the SHERIFF'S right to consolidate the assigned shifts of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES
in order to concentrate law enforcement efforts to meet particular law enforcement priorities
and needs, the SHERIFF shall assign shifts to SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES contracted for under
this Agreement so as to provide the broadest possible coverage of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
c. All O.C.S.O. policies, procedures, employment contracts, etc., which may be applicable to
this Agreement shall be made available by the SHERIFF for inspection by the
MUNICIPALITY LIAISON at the O.C.S.O., by appointment, during normal business hours.
6. Subject to the SHERIFF'S sole discretion and judgment as to the county-wide prioritization of
resources and law enforcement needs, any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES, beyond the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during a bi-
weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, may be made available by the SHERIFF to the
MUNICIPALITY on an overtime basis. Except for overtime incurred due to late calls, report writing,
court appearances, emergencies, or holiday pay overtime, as shown in SCHEDULE B - HOLIDAY
PAY (hereafter "SCHEDULE B") which is attached to, incorporated in and made a part of this
Agreement, all other overtime charges incurred by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, which are charged to
the MUNICIPALITY, shall be approved, in advance, in writing, by the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. Any
such additional hours of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES provided shall
be invoiced to and paid by the MUNICIPALITY directly to the COUNTY at the Overtime Hourly Rates
shown in SCHEDULE C - HOURLY RATES (hereafter "SCHEDULE C") which is attached to,
incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement, and shall be in addition to any amounts otherwise
due and owing under the terms of this Agreement. If, however, in the unlikely event that the O.C.S.O.
is able to provide any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES as requested by the
MUNICIPALITY in addition to the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during
a bi-weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, without the O.C.S.O. actually incurring any
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
929
direct or indirect obligation to pay any overtime premium to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY as a result, the
Regular Hourly Rates shown in SCHEDULE C for those additional hours of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES for which the O.C.S.O. does not incur any overtime obligation shall be invoiced and paid
by the MUNICIPALITY as otherwise provided herein. All holiday pay charges to the MUNICIPALITY
shall be calculated and invoiced in accordance with SCHEDULE B.
7. The MUNICIPALITY shall not have the right under this Agreement to assign, delegate, or otherwise,
transfer, promise, commit, or lend any O.C.S.O.'S or SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S services, duties, or
obligations under this Agreement to any other public or private person, corporation, entity, or
organization of any kind. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY perceives the need for any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES beyond those SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' services
contracted for in SCHEDULE A, due to some unusual MUNICIPALITY circumstances that, in the
MUNICIPALITY'S judgment, may require additional LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, the
MUNICIPALITY shall address such concerns for additional LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the
SHERIFF as provided for in this Agreement (i.e., preceding Paragraph).
8. The MUNICIPALITY will pay the O.C.S.O. for all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES rendered pursuant to this Agreement at the bi-weekly rates shown in SCHEDULE A. The
MUNICIPALITY further agrees to reimburse the O.C.S.O. for any and all additional hours of work,
overtime, and/or holiday pay costs incurred by the O.C.S.O. in providing LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this Agreement. For every bi-weekly period
(corresponding to established O.C.S.O. payroll periods) during which any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
renders any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this
Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall prepare and send to the MUNICIPALITY an invoice that sets forth the
bi-weekly amount due for each SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES rendered
during that bi-weekly period, plus any charges for any additional hours of work, overtime, and/or
holiday pay, as provided for herein, during that bi-weekly billing period. All overtime charges are to be
itemized and designated for the reason incurred. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to pay to the COUNTY
the full amounts due on any such invoice within 30 days of the invoice date.
9. Should the MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts required
under this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that upon notice from the Oakland County
Treasurer to the Treasurer of the State of Michigan (or any other State of Michigan official authorized
to disburse funds to the MUNICIPALITY), the State of Michigan is authorized to withhold any funds
due the MUNICIPALITY from the State and assign those funds to partially or completely offset any
deficiency by the MUNCIPALITY to the County. Such funds shall be paid directly to the COUNTY.
Further, the MUNCIPALITY waives any claims against the State or COUNTY, or their respective
officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY. Furthermore, should the MUNICIPALITY fail for
any reason to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts required under this Agreement, the County
Treasurer shall be entitled to set-off and retain any amounts due the MUNICIPALITY from Delinquent
Tax Revolving Fund (“DTFR”) or any other source of funds due to the MUNCIPALITY in possession
of the County, to partially or completely offset any deficiency by the MUNICIPALITY, unless expressly
prohibited by law. Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment unless expressly prohibited by
law. Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY.
Further, the MUNICIPALITY waives any claims against the COUNTY, or its officials, for any such
amounts paid to the COUNTY. Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to limit in any way the
COUNTY’S right to pursue any other legal remedies against the MUNCIPALITY for the
reimbursement of amounts due the COUNTY under this Agreement. The remedies in this paragraph
are available to the COUNTY on an ongoing and successive basis, as the MUNICIPALITY becomes
delinquent in its payments.
10. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. agree and warrant that neither the O.C.S.O. nor any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise, shall be considered or claimed to be
an employee of the MUNICIPALITY and further agree that, at all times and for all purposes under the
terms of this Agreement, the O.C.S.O.'S legal status and relationship to the MUNICIPALITY shall be
that of an INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees that in any writing or
any other communication prepared by, for, or at the direction of the MUNICIPALITY, the
MUNICIPALITY shall neither state, suggest, nor imply that any employment status and/or
employment relationship exists between any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and the MUNICIPALITY.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009

11. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. agree and warrant that, at all times and for all purposes
relevant to this Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall remain the sole and exclusive employer of all
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES and that the O.C.S.O. shall remain solely and exclusively responsible for the
payment of all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' wages, compensation, overtime wages, expenses, fringe
benefits, pension or retirement benefits, travel expenses, mileage allowances, training expenses,
transportation costs, and/or other allowances or reimbursements of any kind, including, but not limited
to, workers' disability compensation, unemployment compensation, Social Security Act protection(s)
and benefits, any employment taxes, and/or any other statutory or contractual right or benefit based,
in any way, upon any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S status as an employee of the O.C.S.O. Except as
expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY shall not grant, give, allow, pay,
reimburse, compensate, or otherwise provide any wages, fringe benefits, privileges, gifts, equipment,
automobiles, personal property, supplies, benefits, entitlement, consideration (monetary or otherwise)
or any other thing of value, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any
individual SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. Any consideration, monetary or otherwise, paid directly to the
COUNTY and/or any personal property, automobiles, or any portable equipment (e.g., portable
telephones, portable computers, beepers, etc.) supplied, provided, and/or leased directly to the
COUNTY shall not, for any purpose of this Agreement, be interpreted as being provided by the
MUNICIPALITY, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any individual
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
12. The MUNICIPALITY may, in its discretion, in such locations and circumstances as it decides, provide
suitable office space, office equipment, all required utilities and related facilities (e.g., desks, chairs,
copying machines, fax machines, typewriters, permanently installed telephones, lockers, locker room
facilities, uniform changing areas, etc.) in MUNICIPALITY-owned or leased buildings to the O.C.S.O.
for use by SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, which shall be referred to as a
MUNICIPALITY "Sub-Station". Alternatively, the O.C.S.O. may provide or supplement any existing
desks, chairs, copying machines, fax machines, etc. located in the MUNICIPALITY Sub-Station with
O.C.S.O. personal property and equipment. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that the
MUNICIPALITY benefits in providing a Sub-Station for O.C.S.O. use by minimizing the time spent by
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY driving from the main O.C.S.O. Law
Enforcement Complex in Pontiac, Michigan, to the MUNICIPALITY to perform certain paper and desk
work and eliminating the "lost drive time" to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES within the
MUNICIPALITY due to the fact that SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES otherwise would begin and end their work
shift(s) at the main O.C.S.O. Law Enforcement Complex instead of within the MUNICIPALITY. The
MUNICIPALITY'S provision of any Sub-Station facilities and/or the use of any Sub-Station facilities by
the O.C.S.O. shall be by mutual agreement and consent of the parties. Under no circumstances shall
the MUNICIPALITY be obligated under the terms of this Agreement to provide any such Sub-Station
facilities, nor shall the O.C.S.O. be obligated to use any such Sub-Station facilities if offered. If the
MUNICIPALITY decides it will offer to provide the O.C.S.O. with Sub-Station facilities and the
O.C.S.O. agrees to use such Sub-Station facilities, the following terms and conditions shall apply:
a. Use of a Sub-Station shall be deemed to be a MUNICIPALITY grant of a revocable,
nonexclusive License over that portion of such MUNICIPALITY premises for use by the
O.C.S.O. and SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY.
b. The MUNICIPALITY will be responsible for maintenance of the premises, which includes: any
necessary repairs, improvements, installation and maintenance of all necessary security
locks, devices and fire safety devices and safety precautions, reconstruction, custodial
services, including rubbish and trash removal for the Facility, and also includes the provision
of utilities required to operate the facility for the purposes of this License, including, but not
limited to, heat, air conditioning, power, and water (but excluding any monthly telephone
charges for permanently installed Sub-Station telephone), at no cost to the O.C.S.O.
c. Use of the Sub-Station License shall end upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement
as provided herein. Any such Sub-Station License shall also be terminable, at any time and
for any reason, by the MUNICIPALITY, the COUNTY, or the SHERIFF.
d. SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES shall use due care in their use of any Sub-Station facilities and
equipment. The MUNICIPALITY agrees that the MUNICIPALITY and the MUNICIPALITY’s
Insurance Carrier will waive all rights of subrogation against OAKLAND COUNTY for any loss
or damage to the Sub-Station premises or property therein which is owned or insured by the
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
931
Municipality. The MUNICIPALITY will provide the COUNTY with a Certificate of insurance
that contains the following language: “The MUNICIPALITY and the Insurance Carrier named
herein agree to waive all rights of subrogation against Oakland County for any loss or
damage to premises or property owned by or insured by the MUNICIPALITY”. The
MUNICIPALITY will provide this Certificate of Insurance to the Oakland County Sheriff’s
Office, County Service Center, Building #38 East, 1200 N. Telegraph Road, Pontiac,
Michigan 48341-1044 prior to January 1, 2010. All Certificates of Insurance are subject to
approval by the Oakland County Office of Risk Management.
13. Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that this Agreement
does not, and is not intended to, transfer, delegate, or assign to the COUNTY, the SHERIFF, and/or
any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY any civil or legal responsibility, obligation, duty of care, or liability
associated with any governmental function delegated and/or entrusted to the MUNICIPALITY under
existing law.
14. Except as expressly provided for under the terms of this Agreement, no SHERIFF'S DEPUTY while
acting under the terms of this Agreement shall perform any services directly or otherwise be available
to perform any other work or assignments, and no SHERIFF'S DEPUTY shall be otherwise employed
or utilized, in any manner or capacity, by the MUNICIPALITY.
15. The MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may contact the O.C.S.O. LIAISON, as defined above, to request,
advise, or otherwise make the O.C.S.O. aware of particular law enforcement needs and services
within the MUNICIPALITY, or to provide other relevant information which has come to the attention of
the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. The MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may also bring to the SHERIFF'S
attention any concerns that the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may have regarding the assignment of any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY to the MUNICIPALITY. The SHERIFF shall provide the MUNICIPALITY
LIAISON an opportunity to interview and meet any command officers before they are assigned to the
MUNICIPALITY; however, the SHERIFF'S decision on the assignment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
shall be final. The O.C.S.O. LIAISON shall, only to the extent that any such communication would not
interfere in an ongoing criminal investigation or prosecution, keep the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON
reasonably informed regarding criminal and/or law enforcement activities within the MUNICIPALITY
and advise the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON, as soon as practicable, of any changes in any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to perform LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the
MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, however, neither the
MUNICIPALITY nor the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON shall otherwise provide, furnish or assign any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with any job instructions, job descriptions, job specifications, or job duties, or in
any manner attempt to control, supervise, train, or direct any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in the
performance of any O.C.S.O.'S duty or obligation under the terms of this Agreement.
16. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to promptly notify and/or provide the SHERIFF with any information that
may come to its knowledge or possession regarding any act contrary to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, or any other questionable act(s) or omission(s), or any allegation of same, by any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees that it shall promptly deliver to the SHERIFF
written notice and copies of any complaint(s), charge(s), or any other accusation(s) or allegation(s) of
wrongdoing, whether civil or criminal in nature, which the MUNICIPALITY becomes aware of
regarding any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to cooperate with the O.C.S.O. in
any investigation conducted by the SHERIFF into the character and/or fitness of any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY.
17. The O.C.S.O. shall be solely and exclusively responsible for providing SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES with all
necessary tools, automobiles, radios, communications equipment, firearms, and any and all other
equipment that the O.C.S.O., in its sole judgment, deems required or beneficial for the completion of
any O.C.S.O.'S duty under the terms of this Agreement. The O.C.S.O. shall also be solely and
exclusively responsible for any and all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' business expenses, licenses, taxes,
uniform or equipment costs, insurance(s), supplies, etc., except that any stationery, notices, forms,
MUNICIPALITY ordinance appearance tickets, etc., which are required to bear the name of the
MUNICIPALITY, shall be supplied to the O.C.S.O. by the MUNICIPALITY at the MUNICIPALITY'S
sole cost and expense. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY wants any special or additional personal
property or equipment (i.e., cellular telephones, beepers, personal items or equipment, portable
computers, automobiles, motorcycles, etc.) to be provided, at MUNICIPALITY expense or otherwise,
to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, the MUNICIPALITY shall direct such
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
932
requests to the O.C.S.O. which shall solely decide whether such personal property or special
equipment shall be provided. Any and all such additional personal property, portable or individual use
equipment or property, and/or any special equipment to be provided by the MUNICIPALITY shall be
provided directly and exclusively to the O.C.S.O., and then ONLY pursuant to a separate written
lease agreement between the MUNICIPALITY and the COUNTY. As intended by this Paragraph and
elsewhere in this Agreement, no personal property, supplies, or other equipment, nor the use thereof,
shall be provided or made available by the MUNICIPALITY directly to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY,
except through a written lease as provided for in this paragraph.
18. Each party shall be responsible for its own acts and/or omissions and the acts and/or omissions of its
employees and agents under the terms of this Agreement, the costs associated with those acts
and/or omissions, and the defense of those acts and/or omissions. This Agreement does not, and is
not intended to, waive, impair, divest, delegate, or contravene any constitutional, statutory, and/or
other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, or immunity of the Parties.
19. Subject to the following Paragraph, this Agreement shall become effective at 12:01 A.M., January 1,
2010, and shall remain in effect continuously until it expires, without any further act or notice being
required by either party, at 11:59 P.M. on December 31, 2010. In addition, any party may terminate
this Agreement, prior to its December 31, 2009 expiration, upon written notification to all others at
least ninety (90) days prior to the proposed termination date, which date shall be clearly stated in the
written notice. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, all further O.C.S.O.'S obligations
to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under this Agreement shall end.
20. This Agreement, and any subsequent amendments, shall not become effective prior to the approval
by concurrent resolutions of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners and the MUNICIPALITY
Governing Body. The approval and terms of this Agreement shall be entered in the official minutes
and proceedings of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners and MUNICIPALITY Governing Body and
shall also be filed with the office of the Clerk for the COUNTY and the MUNICIPALITY. In addition,
this Agreement and any subsequent amendments shall be filed with the Secretary of State for the
State of Michigan by the O.C.S.O. and shall not become effective or implemented prior to its filing
with the Secretary of State.
21. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY wishes to enter into a new agreement for LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES upon the expiration of this Agreement, it will notify the O.C.S.O., in writing, of this intent
no later than July 31, 2010. If the MUNICIPALITY, as above, notifies the O.C.S.O. of its intent to
enter into a new agreement, and the O.C.S.O. has a similar interest, the O.C.S.O. shall present the
MUNICIPALITY with a new proposed agreement for continued LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
on, or before, August 22, 2010. In no event shall this paragraph be interpreted to obligate the
O.C.S.O. or the MUNICIPALITY to continue any Agreement for any LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES beyond the expiration of this Agreement unless a new fully executed contract is executed
by the parties. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY terminates this Agreement or elects not to enter
into a subsequent agreement because it decides to establish its own police department, the
MUNICIPALITY agrees to consider for employment in its police department any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
who may be laid off by the O.C.S.O. as a result of this decision, but in no event shall the
MUNICIPALITY be obligated to hire any such SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
22. The parties shall send, by first class mail, all correspondence and written notices required or
permitted by this Agreement to each signatory to this Agreement, or any signatory successor in office,
to the addresses shown in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided for herein, all
correspondence or written notices shall be considered delivered to a party as of the date that such
notice is deposited with sufficient postage with the U.S. Postal Service.
23. This Agreement is neither intended, nor shall it be interpreted, to create, change, modify, supplement,
supersede, or otherwise affect or control, in any manner or at any time, the terms or conditions of
employment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with the O.C.S.O., any applicable O.C.S.O. employment
and/or union contract, and/or any O.C.S.O. rule(s), regulation(s), hours of work, shift assignment,
order(s), policy(ies), procedure(s), directive(s), ethical guideline(s), etc., which shall, solely and
exclusively, govern and control the employment relationship between the O.C.S.O. and any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and/or the conduct and actions of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. To illustrate, but
not otherwise limit, this Agreement does not and shall not be interpreted to limit, modify, control, or
otherwise affect, in any manner:
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
933
a. The complete and unilateral discretion of the SHERIFF to either continue or revoke the

b. The O.C.S.O.'S sole and exclusive right, obligation, responsibility, and discretion to employ,
compensate, assign, reassign, transfer, promote, reclassify, discipline, demote, layoff,

wages, salaries, allowances, reimbursements, compensation, fringe benefits, or otherwise
decide any and all such terms and conditions of employment and make any and all
employment decisions that affect, in any way, the employment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
with the O.C.S.D, subject only to its collective bargaining Agreements.
c. The SHERIFF'S sole and exclusive right, obligation, and responsibility to determine,
establish, modify, or implement any and all operational policies, procedures, orders, rules,
regulations, ethical guidelines, and/or any other judgment, policy or directive which, in any
way, governs or controls any activity of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, any necessary SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S training standards or proficiency(ies), any level or amount of required supervision,
any and all standards of performance, any sequence or manner of performance, and any
level(s) of experience, training, or education required for any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
performing any O.C.S.O. duty or obligation under the terms of this Agreement.
24. The SHERIFF and the COUNTY reserve to themselves any rights and obligations relating to the
provision of any and all police and/or governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, and this
Agreement does not, and is not intended to, diminish, delegate, divest, impair, or contravene any
constitutional, statutory, and/or other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, capacity, immunity,
or character of office of either the SHERIFF, the COUNTY, and/or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The
COUNTY and the SHERIFF further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is neither intended,
nor shall it be interpreted, so as to create, grant, modify, supersede, alter, or change, in any manner
or form, any right, privilege, benefit, or any other term or condition of employment, of any kind or
nature whatsoever, in, upon, or for any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S agent(s),
representative(s), union(s), or the successor(s) or assign(s) of any of them.
25. This Agreement is made and entered into in the State of Michigan and shall in all respects be
interpreted, enforced and governed under the laws of the State of Michigan. The language of all
parts of this Agreement shall in all cases be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and
not construed strictly for or against any party. As used in this Agreement, the singular or plural
number, the possessive or nonpossessive, shall be deemed to include the other whenever the
context so indicates or requires.
26. Absent an expressly written waiver, the failure of any party to pursue any right granted under this
Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of that right with regard to any existing or subsequent
breach or default under this Agreement. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, power or
privilege.
27. This Agreement shall be binding upon the COUNTY, the SHERIFF, and the MUNICIPALITY to the
extent permitted by law, upon their successors and assigns, and all persons acting by, through,
under, or in concert with any of them.

SCHEDULE C (incorporated herein), sets forth the entire Agreement between the O.C.S.O. and the
MUNICIPALITY with regard to the O.C.S.O.'S provision of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES and/or
any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S services to the MUNICIPALITY, and fully supersedes any and all prior
agreements or understandings between them in any way related to the subject matter hereof. It is
further understood and agreed that the terms of this Agreement are contractual and are not mere
recitals and that there are no other agreements, understandings, or representations between the
O.C.S.O. and the MUNICIPALITY in any way related to the subject matter hereof, except as
expressly stated herein. This Agreement shall not be changed or supplemented orally. This
Agreement may be amended only by concurrent resolutions of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners
and the MUNICIPALITY Governing Body according to the procedures set forth in this Agreement.

MUNICIPALITY (hereafter "SCHEDULE A"), which is attached to, incorporated in and made part of
this Agreement, to perform any and all O.C.S.O. LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES contemplated in
this Agreement within the corporate limits of the MUNICIPALITY, including all private roads. LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, as defined above, shall not include O.C.S.O. police-related "Support
Services," such as Marine Division, Arson Investigation, Detective and Crime Lab services, which the
O.C.S.O. now provides on a County-wide basis, unless expressly stated to the contrary herein.
Nevertheless, such additional "Support Services" shall continue to be made available, at no additional
cost to the MUNICIPALITY, to the same extent that the O.C.S.O. continues to make such law
enforcement "Support Services" available, at no additional charge, to all other communities within
Oakland County.
a. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that, except as provided for under the terms of this
Agreement, the SHERIFF has only limited responsibility for LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES in the MUNICIPALITY and is not otherwise required, except as provided herein,
to assign any specific Number(s) or Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES to provide LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
b. The SHERIFF will make every reasonable effort to provide professional LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY, following generally accepted standards
for police protection, with the levels of staff provided for in SCHEDULE A.
c. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be
interpreted to include any warranty, promise or guaranty, either express or implied, or of any
kind or nature whatsoever, in favor of the MUNICIPALITY and/or any other person or
MUNICIPALITY resident that the O.C.S.O.'S provision of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
under this Agreement will result in any specific reduction or prevention of criminal activity
within the MUNICIPALITY or any other performance-based outcome.
3. The O.C.S.O. and the MUNICIPALITY agree that the sole and exclusive purpose of this Agreement is
to provide governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES in and for the MUNICIPALITY. Except
as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that this
Agreement does not, and is not intended to, create, by implication or otherwise, any specific, direct or
indirect obligation, duty, promise, benefit, and/or special right to O.C.S.O.' s LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES in favor of or to the benefit of any particular person(s) beyond the O.C.S.O.'S and/or any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S law enforcement officer duty, as established under existing law, to the
general public.
4. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted
for and assigned to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY, as provided
for in SCHEDULE A, shall work, during those hours for which the MUNICIPALITY is being charged,
only on MUNICIPALITY-related police matters. It is understood and agreed, however, that "Mutual
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
938
Aid" between communities may be provided to surrounding communities. "Mutual Aid," as used in the
previous sentence, means that any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to the
MUNICIPALITY may be absent from the MUNICIPALITY, at MUNICIPALITY expense, when
temporarily called to the aid of another community due to an emergency or other exceptional
circumstance or because a SHERIFF'S DEPUTY possesses some special skill or qualification
temporarily needed in that other community.
5. Under the terms of this Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall assign to the MUNICIPALITY the Number(s)
and Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES shown in SCHEDULE A to perform all of the LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES contemplated under this Agreement. As used throughout this
Agreement, any reference to the Number(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES, as shown in SCHEDULE A,
shall be defined and quantified as EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during
a bi-weekly period by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY of the specified Rank(s), for each of the SHERIFF'S
DEPUTIES contracted for and assigned by the SHERIFF to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
a. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this subparagraph or in SCHEDULE A,
whenever any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to provide LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY is not present in the MUNICIPALITY
geographical area, due to any of the reasons described in subparagraphs 1 - 6 below, such
periods of time shall be included in and counted toward the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the bi-weekly period in which it occurred.
1. Travel time, on a daily basis, to or from the O.C.S.O. in Pontiac, Michigan, at the
beginning or end of any shift by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, if that SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S shift starts or ends in Pontiac; and
2. Attendance (not to exceed 100 hours per SHERIFF'S DEPUTY per calendar year) at
any O.C.S.O. authorized or required training session, function or meeting; and
3. Provision of any Mutual Aid as described and defined above; and
4. Appearance in any Court or at any meeting with any other law enforcement agency in
connection with any prosecution or Court appearance related to MUNICIPALITY law
enforcement activities; and
5. Performance of any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the MUNICIPALITY that
takes any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY outside the MUNICIPALITY'S geographical area;
and
6. Any approved period of annual leave, sick leave, holiday leave, personal leave, or
any other approved, paid leave (except any paid disciplinary leave and/or long-term
disability leave extending beyond a period of five (5) working days) granted to any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in accordance with applicable O.C.S.O. policies, procedures,
and/or employment contracts.
b. Subject to the SHERIFF'S right to consolidate the assigned shifts of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES
in order to concentrate law enforcement efforts to meet particular law enforcement priorities
and needs, the SHERIFF shall assign shifts to SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES contracted for under
this Agreement so as to provide the broadest possible coverage of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
c. All O.C.S.O. policies, procedures, employment contracts, etc., which may be applicable to
this Agreement shall be made available by the SHERIFF for inspection by the
MUNICIPALITY LIAISON at the O.C.S.O., by appointment, during normal business hours.
6. Subject to the SHERIFF'S sole discretion and judgment as to the county-wide prioritization of
resources and law enforcement needs, any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES, beyond the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during a bi-
weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, may be made available by the SHERIFF to the
MUNICIPALITY on an overtime basis. Except for overtime incurred due to late calls, report writing,
court appearances, emergencies, or holiday pay overtime, as shown in SCHEDULE B - HOLIDAY
PAY (hereafter "SCHEDULE B") which is attached to, incorporated in and made a part of this
Agreement, all other overtime charges incurred by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, which are charged to
the MUNICIPALITY, shall be approved, in advance, in writing, by the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. Any
such additional hours of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES provided shall
be invoiced to and paid by the MUNICIPALITY directly to the COUNTY at the Overtime Hourly Rates
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
939
shown in SCHEDULE C - HOURLY RATES (hereafter "SCHEDULE C") which is attached to,
incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement, and shall be in addition to any amounts otherwise
due and owing under the terms of this Agreement. If, however, in the unlikely event that the O.C.S.O.
is able to provide any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES as requested by the
MUNICIPALITY in addition to the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during
a bi-weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, without the O.C.S.O. actually incurring any
direct or indirect obligation to pay any overtime premium to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY as a result, the
Regular Hourly Rates shown in SCHEDULE C for those additional hours of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES for which the O.C.S.O. does not incur any overtime obligation shall be invoiced and paid
by the MUNICIPALITY as otherwise provided herein. All holiday pay charges to the MUNICIPALITY
shall be calculated and invoiced in accordance with SCHEDULE B.
7. The MUNICIPALITY shall not have the right under this Agreement to assign, delegate, or otherwise,
transfer, promise, commit, or lend any O.C.S.O.'S or SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S services, duties, or
obligations under this Agreement to any other public or private person, corporation, entity, or
organization of any kind. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY perceives the need for any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES beyond those SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' services
contracted for in SCHEDULE A, due to some unusual MUNICIPALITY circumstances that, in the
MUNICIPALITY'S judgment, may require additional LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, the
MUNICIPALITY shall address such concerns for additional LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the
SHERIFF as provided for in this Agreement (i.e., preceding Paragraph).
8. The MUNICIPALITY will pay the O.C.S.O. for all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES rendered pursuant to this Agreement at the bi-weekly rates shown in SCHEDULE A. The
MUNICIPALITY further agrees to reimburse the O.C.S.O. for any and all additional hours of work,
overtime, and/or holiday pay costs incurred by the O.C.S.O. in providing LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this Agreement. For every bi-weekly period
(corresponding to established O.C.S.O. payroll periods) during which any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
renders any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this
Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall prepare and send to the MUNICIPALITY an invoice that sets forth the
bi-weekly amount due for each SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES rendered
during that bi-weekly period, plus any charges for any additional hours of work, overtime, and/or
holiday pay, as provided for herein, during that bi-weekly billing period. All overtime charges are to be
itemized and designated for the reason incurred. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to pay to the COUNTY
the full amounts due on any such invoice within 30 days of the invoice date.
9. Should the MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts required
under this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that upon notice from the Oakland County
Treasurer to the Treasurer of the State of Michigan (or any other State of Michigan official authorized
to disburse funds to the MUNICIPALITY), the State of Michigan is authorized to withhold any funds
due the MUNICIPALITY from the State and assign those funds to partially or completely offset any
deficiency by the MUNCIPALITY to the County. Such funds shall be paid directly to the COUNTY.
Further, the MUNCIPALITY waives any claims against the State or COUNTY, or their respective
officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY. Furthermore, should the MUNICIPALITY fail for
any reason to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts required under this Agreement, the County
Treasurer shall be entitled to set-off and retain any amounts due the MUNICIPALITY from Delinquent
Tax Revolving Fund (“DTFR”) or any other source of funds due to the MUNCIPALITY in possession
of the County, to partially or completely offset any deficiency by the MUNICIPALITY, unless expressly
prohibited by law. Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment unless expressly prohibited by
law. Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY.
Further, the MUNICIPALITY waives any claims against the COUNTY, or its officials, for any such
amounts paid to the COUNTY. Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to limit in any way the
COUNTY’S right to pursue any other legal remedies against the MUNCIPALITY for the
reimbursement of amounts due the COUNTY under this Agreement. The remedies in this paragraph
are available to the COUNTY on an ongoing and successive basis, as the MUNICIPALITY becomes
delinquent in its payments.
10. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. agree and warrant that neither the O.C.S.O. nor any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise, shall be considered or claimed to be
an employee of the MUNICIPALITY and further agree that, at all times and for all purposes under the
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
940
terms of this Agreement, the O.C.S.O.'S legal status and relationship to the MUNICIPALITY shall be
that of an INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees that in any writing or
any other communication prepared by, for, or at the direction of the MUNICIPALITY, the
MUNICIPALITY shall neither state, suggest, nor imply that any employment status and/or
employment relationship exists between any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and the MUNICIPALITY.
11. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. agree and warrant that, at all times and for all purposes
relevant to this Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall remain the sole and exclusive employer of all
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES and that the O.C.S.O. shall remain solely and exclusively responsible for the
payment of all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' wages, compensation, overtime wages, expenses, fringe
benefits, pension or retirement benefits, travel expenses, mileage allowances, training expenses,
transportation costs, and/or other allowances or reimbursements of any kind, including, but not limited
to, workers' disability compensation, unemployment compensation, Social Security Act protection(s)
and benefits, any employment taxes, and/or any other statutory or contractual right or benefit based,
in any way, upon any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S status as an employee of the O.C.S.O. Except as
expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY shall not grant, give, allow, pay,
reimburse, compensate, or otherwise provide any wages, fringe benefits, privileges, gifts, equipment,
automobiles, personal property, supplies, benefits, entitlement, consideration (monetary or otherwise)
or any other thing of value, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any
individual SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. Any consideration, monetary or otherwise, paid directly to the
COUNTY and/or any personal property, automobiles, or any portable equipment (e.g., portable
telephones, portable computers, beepers, etc.) supplied, provided, and/or leased directly to the
COUNTY shall not, for any purpose of this Agreement, be interpreted as being provided by the
MUNICIPALITY, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any individual
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
12. The MUNICIPALITY may, in its discretion, in such locations and circumstances as it decides, provide
suitable office space, office equipment, all required utilities and related facilities (e.g., desks, chairs,
copying machines, fax machines, typewriters, permanently installed telephones, lockers, locker room
facilities, uniform changing areas, etc.) in MUNICIPALITY-owned or leased buildings to the O.C.S.O.
for use by SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, which shall be referred to as a
MUNICIPALITY "Sub-Station". Alternatively, the O.C.S.O. may provide or supplement any existing
desks, chairs, copying machines, fax machines, etc. located in the MUNICIPALITY Sub-Station with
O.C.S.O. personal property and equipment. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that the
MUNICIPALITY benefits in providing a Sub-Station for O.C.S.O. use by minimizing the time spent by
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY driving from the main O.C.S.O. Law
Enforcement Complex in Pontiac, Michigan, to the MUNICIPALITY to perform certain paper and desk
work and eliminating the "lost drive time" to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES within the
MUNICIPALITY due to the fact that SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES otherwise would begin and end their work
shift(s) at the main O.C.S.O. Law Enforcement Complex instead of within the MUNICIPALITY. The
MUNICIPALITY'S provision of any Sub-Station facilities and/or the use of any Sub-Station facilities by
the O.C.S.O. shall be by mutual agreement and consent of the parties. Under no circumstances shall
the MUNICIPALITY be obligated under the terms of this Agreement to provide any such Sub-Station
facilities, nor shall the O.C.S.O. be obligated to use any such Sub-Station facilities if offered. If the
MUNICIPALITY decides it will offer to provide the O.C.S.O. with Sub-Station facilities and the
O.C.S.O. agrees to use such Sub-Station facilities, the following terms and conditions shall apply:
a. Use of a Sub-Station shall be deemed to be a MUNICIPALITY grant of a revocable,
nonexclusive License over that portion of such MUNICIPALITY premises for use by the
O.C.S.O. and SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY.
b. The MUNICIPALITY will be responsible for maintenance of the premises, which includes: any
necessary repairs, improvements, installation and maintenance of all necessary security
locks, devices and fire safety devices and safety precautions, reconstruction, custodial
services, including rubbish and trash removal for the Facility, and also includes the provision
of utilities required to operate the facility for the purposes of this License, including, but not
limited to, heat, air conditioning, power, and water (but excluding any monthly telephone
charges for permanently installed Sub-Station telephone), at no cost to the O.C.S.O.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
941
c. Use of the Sub-Station License shall end upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement
as provided herein. Any such Sub-Station License shall also be terminable, at any time and
for any reason, by the MUNICIPALITY, the COUNTY, or the SHERIFF.
d. SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES shall use due care in their use of any Sub-Station facilities and
equipment. The MUNICIPALITY agrees that the MUNICIPALITY and the MUNICIPALITY’s
Insurance Carrier will waive all rights of subrogation against OAKLAND COUNTY for any loss
or damage to the Sub-Station premises or property therein which is owned or insured by the
Municipality. The MUNICIPALITY will provide the COUNTY with a Certificate of insurance
that contains the following language: “The MUNICIPALITY and the Insurance Carrier named
herein agree to waive all rights of subrogation against Oakland County for any loss or
damage to premises or property owned by or insured by the MUNICIPALITY”. The
MUNICIPALITY will provide this Certificate of Insurance to the Oakland County Sheriff’s
Office, County Service Center, Building #38 East, 1200 N. Telegraph Road, Pontiac,
Michigan 48341-1044 prior to January 1, 2010. All Certificates of Insurance are subject to
approval by the Oakland County Office of Risk Management.
13. Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that this Agreement
does not, and is not intended to, transfer, delegate, or assign to the COUNTY, the SHERIFF, and/or
any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY any civil or legal responsibility, obligation, duty of care, or liability
associated with any governmental function delegated and/or entrusted to the MUNICIPALITY under
existing law.
14. Except as expressly provided for under the terms of this Agreement, no SHERIFF'S DEPUTY while
acting under the terms of this Agreement shall perform any services directly or otherwise be available
to perform any other work or assignments, and no SHERIFF'S DEPUTY shall be otherwise employed
or utilized, in any manner or capacity, by the MUNICIPALITY.
15. The MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may contact the O.C.S.O. LIAISON, as defined above, to request,
advise, or otherwise make the O.C.S.O. aware of particular law enforcement needs and services
within the MUNICIPALITY, or to provide other relevant information which has come to the attention of
the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. The MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may also bring to the SHERIFF'S
attention any concerns that the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may have regarding the assignment of any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY to the MUNICIPALITY. The SHERIFF shall provide the MUNICIPALITY
LIAISON an opportunity to interview and meet any command officers before they are assigned to the
MUNICIPALITY; however, the SHERIFF'S decision on the assignment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
shall be final. The O.C.S.O. LIAISON shall, only to the extent that any such communication would not
interfere in an ongoing criminal investigation or prosecution, keep the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON
reasonably informed regarding criminal and/or law enforcement activities within the MUNICIPALITY
and advise the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON, as soon as practicable, of any changes in any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to perform LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the
MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, however, neither the
MUNICIPALITY nor the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON shall otherwise provide, furnish or assign any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with any job instructions, job descriptions, job specifications, or job duties, or in
any manner attempt to control, supervise, train, or direct any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in the
performance of any O.C.S.O.'S duty or obligation under the terms of this Agreement.
16. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to promptly notify and/or provide the SHERIFF with any information that
may come to its knowledge or possession regarding any act contrary to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, or any other questionable act(s) or omission(s), or any allegation of same, by any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees that it shall promptly deliver to the SHERIFF
written notice and copies of any complaint(s), charge(s), or any other accusation(s) or allegation(s) of
wrongdoing, whether civil or criminal in nature, which the MUNICIPALITY becomes aware of
regarding any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to cooperate with the O.C.S.O. in
any investigation conducted by the SHERIFF into the character and/or fitness of any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY.
17. The O.C.S.O. shall be solely and exclusively responsible for providing SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES with all
necessary tools, automobiles, radios, communications equipment, firearms, and any and all other
equipment that the O.C.S.O., in its sole judgment, deems required or beneficial for the completion of
any O.C.S.O.'S duty under the terms of this Agreement. The O.C.S.O. shall also be solely and
exclusively responsible for any and all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' business expenses, licenses, taxes,
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
942
uniform or equipment costs, insurance(s), supplies, etc., except that any stationery, notices, forms,
MUNICIPALITY ordinance appearance tickets, etc., which are required to bear the name of the
MUNICIPALITY, shall be supplied to the O.C.S.O. by the MUNICIPALITY at the MUNICIPALITY'S
sole cost and expense. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY wants any special or additional personal
property or equipment (i.e., cellular telephones, beepers, personal items or equipment, portable
computers, automobiles, motorcycles, etc.) to be provided, at MUNICIPALITY expense or otherwise,
to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, the MUNICIPALITY shall direct such
requests to the O.C.S.O. which shall solely decide whether such personal property or special
equipment shall be provided. Any and all such additional personal property, portable or individual use
equipment or property, and/or any special equipment to be provided by the MUNICIPALITY shall be
provided directly and exclusively to the O.C.S.O., and then ONLY pursuant to a separate written
lease agreement between the MUNICIPALITY and the COUNTY. As intended by this Paragraph and
elsewhere in this Agreement, no personal property, supplies, or other equipment, nor the use thereof,
shall be provided or made available by the MUNICIPALITY directly to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY,
except through a written lease as provided for in this paragraph.
18. Each party shall be responsible for its own acts and/or omissions and the acts and/or omissions of its
employees and agents under the terms of this Agreement, the costs associated with those acts
and/or omissions, and the defense of those acts and/or omissions. This Agreement does not, and is
not intended to, waive, impair, divest, delegate, or contravene any constitutional, statutory, and/or
other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, or immunity of the Parties.
19. Subject to the following Paragraph, this Agreement shall become effective at 12:01 A.M., January 1,
2010, and shall remain in effect continuously until it expires, without any further act or notice being
required by either party, at 11:59 P.M. on December 31, 2010. In addition, any party may terminate
this Agreement, prior to its December 31, 2009 expiration, upon written notification to all others at
least ninety (90) days prior to the proposed termination date, which date shall be clearly stated in the
written notice. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, all further O.C.S.O.'S obligations
to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under this Agreement shall end.
20. This Agreement, and any subsequent amendments, shall not become effective prior to the approval
by concurrent resolutions of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners and the MUNICIPALITY
Governing Body. The approval and terms of this Agreement shall be entered in the official minutes
and proceedings of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners and MUNICIPALITY Governing Body and
shall also be filed with the office of the Clerk for the COUNTY and the MUNICIPALITY. In addition,
this Agreement and any subsequent amendments shall be filed with the Secretary of State for the
State of Michigan by the O.C.S.O. and shall not become effective or implemented prior to its filing
with the Secretary of State.
21. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY wishes to enter into a new agreement for LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES upon the expiration of this Agreement, it will notify the O.C.S.O., in writing, of this intent
no later than July 31, 2010. If the MUNICIPALITY, as above, notifies the O.C.S.O. of its intent to
enter into a new agreement, and the O.C.S.O. has a similar interest, the O.C.S.O. shall present the
MUNICIPALITY with a new proposed agreement for continued LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
on, or before, August 22, 2010. In no event shall this paragraph be interpreted to obligate the
O.C.S.O. or the MUNICIPALITY to continue any Agreement for any LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES beyond the expiration of this Agreement unless a new fully executed contract is executed
by the parties. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY terminates this Agreement or elects not to enter
into a subsequent agreement because it decides to establish its own police department, the
MUNICIPALITY agrees to consider for employment in its police department any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
who may be laid off by the O.C.S.O. as a result of this decision, but in no event shall the
MUNICIPALITY be obligated to hire any such SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
22. The parties shall send, by first class mail, all correspondence and written notices required or
permitted by this Agreement to each signatory to this Agreement, or any signatory successor in office,
to the addresses shown in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided for herein, all
correspondence or written notices shall be considered delivered to a party as of the date that such
notice is deposited with sufficient postage with the U.S. Postal Service.
23. This Agreement is neither intended, nor shall it be interpreted, to create, change, modify, supplement,
supersede, or otherwise affect or control, in any manner or at any time, the terms or conditions of
employment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with the O.C.S.O., any applicable O.C.S.O. employment
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
943
and/or union contract, and/or any O.C.S.O. rule(s), regulation(s), hours of work, shift assignment,
order(s), policy(ies), procedure(s), directive(s), ethical guideline(s), etc., which shall, solely and
exclusively, govern and control the employment relationship between the O.C.S.O. and any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and/or the conduct and actions of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. To illustrate, but
not otherwise limit, this Agreement does not and shall not be interpreted to limit, modify, control, or
otherwise affect, in any manner:
a. The complete and unilateral discretion of the SHERIFF to either continue or revoke the
deputization of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, or any other person who, in the SHERIFF'S sole
judgment, he does not believe is qualified or otherwise fit to be a SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
b. The O.C.S.O.'S sole and exclusive right, obligation, responsibility, and discretion to employ,
compensate, assign, reassign, transfer, promote, reclassify, discipline, demote, layoff,
furlough, discharge any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and/or pay any and all SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S
wages, salaries, allowances, reimbursements, compensation, fringe benefits, or otherwise
decide any and all such terms and conditions of employment and make any and all
employment decisions that affect, in any way, the employment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
with the O.C.S.D, subject only to its collective bargaining Agreements.
c. The SHERIFF'S sole and exclusive right, obligation, and responsibility to determine,
establish, modify, or implement any and all operational policies, procedures, orders, rules,
regulations, ethical guidelines, and/or any other judgment, policy or directive which, in any
way, governs or controls any activity of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, any necessary SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S training standards or proficiency(ies), any level or amount of required supervision,
any and all standards of performance, any sequence or manner of performance, and any
level(s) of experience, training, or education required for any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
performing any O.C.S.O. duty or obligation under the terms of this Agreement.
24. The SHERIFF and the COUNTY reserve to themselves any rights and obligations relating to the
provision of any and all police and/or governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, and this
Agreement does not, and is not intended to, diminish, delegate, divest, impair, or contravene any
constitutional, statutory, and/or other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, capacity, immunity,
or character of office of either the SHERIFF, the COUNTY, and/or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The
COUNTY and the SHERIFF further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is neither intended,
nor shall it be interpreted, so as to create, grant, modify, supersede, alter, or change, in any manner
or form, any right, privilege, benefit, or any other term or condition of employment, of any kind or
nature whatsoever, in, upon, or for any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S agent(s),
representative(s), union(s), or the successor(s) or assign(s) of any of them.
25. This Agreement is made and entered into in the State of Michigan and shall in all respects be
interpreted, enforced and governed under the laws of the State of Michigan. The language of all
parts of this Agreement shall in all cases be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and
not construed strictly for or against any party. As used in this Agreement, the singular or plural
number, the possessive or nonpossessive, shall be deemed to include the other whenever the
context so indicates or requires.
26. Absent an expressly written waiver, the failure of any party to pursue any right granted under this
Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of that right with regard to any existing or subsequent
breach or default under this Agreement. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, power or
privilege.
27. This Agreement shall be binding upon the COUNTY, the SHERIFF, and the MUNICIPALITY to the
extent permitted by law, upon their successors and assigns, and all persons acting by, through,
under, or in concert with any of them.
28. This Agreement, consisting of fifteen (15) pages, including SCHEDULE A, SCHEDULE B, and
SCHEDULE C (incorporated herein), sets forth the entire Agreement between the O.C.S.O. and the
MUNICIPALITY with regard to the O.C.S.O.'S provision of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES and/or
any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S services to the MUNICIPALITY, and fully supersedes any and all prior
agreements or understandings between them in any way related to the subject matter hereof. It is
further understood and agreed that the terms of this Agreement are contractual and are not mere
recitals and that there are no other agreements, understandings, or representations between the
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
944

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENTS
Whereas, the MUNICIPALITY is authorized to provide police services for residents of the MUNICIPALITY;

enforcement functions as authorized and/or mandated by law as limited by and to the extent
of the Number(s) and Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES contracted for by the
MUNICIPALITY in this Agreement. The governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
contemplated and to be provided under this Agreement are strictly limited to those
governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES authorized by law to be performed by the
O.C.S.O.
g. "SHERIFF'S DEPUTY" or "SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES" shall be defined to include any Captain,
Lieutenant, Sergeant, Deputy II, Deputy I, Patrol Investigator, Detective Sergeant, or any

2. The SHERIFF shall assign SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES, in such Number(s) and Rank(s) as shown in
SCHEDULE A - SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES CONTRACTED FOR AND TO BE ASSIGNED TO
MUNICIPALITY (hereafter "SCHEDULE A"), which is attached to, incorporated in and made part of
this Agreement, to perform any and all O.C.S.O. LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES contemplated in
this Agreement within the corporate limits of the MUNICIPALITY, including all private roads. LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, as defined above, shall not include O.C.S.O. police-related "Support
Services," such as Marine Division, Arson Investigation, Detective and Crime Lab services, which the
O.C.S.O. now provides on a County-wide basis, unless expressly stated to the contrary herein.

enforcement "Support Services" available, at no additional charge, to all other communities within
Oakland County.
a. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that, except as provided for under the terms of this
Agreement, the SHERIFF has only limited responsibility for LAW ENFORCEMENT

ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.

ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY, following generally accepted standards

within the MUNICIPALITY or any other performance-based outcome.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009

3. The O.C.S.O. and the MUNICIPALITY agree that the sole and exclusive purpose of this Agreement is
to provide governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES in and for the MUNICIPALITY. Except
as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that this
Agreement does not, and is not intended to, create, by implication or otherwise, any specific, direct or
indirect obligation, duty, promise, benefit, and/or special right to O.C.S.O.' s LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES in favor of or to the benefit of any particular person(s) beyond the O.C.S.O.'S and/or any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S law enforcement officer duty, as established under existing law, to the
general public.
4. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted
for and assigned to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY, as provided
for in SCHEDULE A, shall work, during those hours for which the MUNICIPALITY is being charged,
only on MUNICIPALITY-related police matters. It is understood and agreed, however, that "Mutual
Aid" between communities may be provided to surrounding communities. "Mutual Aid," as used in the
previous sentence, means that any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to the
MUNICIPALITY may be absent from the MUNICIPALITY, at MUNICIPALITY expense, when
temporarily called to the aid of another community due to an emergency or other exceptional
circumstance or because a SHERIFF'S DEPUTY possesses some special skill or qualification
temporarily needed in that other community.
5. Under the terms of this Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall assign to the MUNICIPALITY the Number(s)
and Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES shown in SCHEDULE A to perform all of the LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES contemplated under this Agreement. As used throughout this
Agreement, any reference to the Number(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES, as shown in SCHEDULE A,
shall be defined and quantified as EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during
a bi-weekly period by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY of the specified Rank(s), for each of the SHERIFF'S
DEPUTIES contracted for and assigned by the SHERIFF to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
a. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this subparagraph or in SCHEDULE A,
whenever any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to provide LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY is not present in the MUNICIPALITY
geographical area, due to any of the reasons described in subparagraphs 1 - 6 below, such
periods of time shall be included in and counted toward the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the bi-weekly period in which it occurred.
1. Travel time, on a daily basis, to or from the O.C.S.O. in Pontiac, Michigan, at the
beginning or end of any shift by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, if that SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S shift starts or ends in Pontiac; and
2. Attendance (not to exceed 100 hours per SHERIFF'S DEPUTY per calendar year) at
any O.C.S.O. authorized or required training session, function or meeting; and
3. Provision of any Mutual Aid as described and defined above; and
4. Appearance in any Court or at any meeting with any other law enforcement agency in
connection with any prosecution or Court appearance related to MUNICIPALITY law
enforcement activities; and
5. Performance of any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the MUNICIPALITY that
takes any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY outside the MUNICIPALITY'S geographical area;
and
6. Any approved period of annual leave, sick leave, holiday leave, personal leave, or
any other approved, paid leave (except any paid disciplinary leave and/or long-term
disability leave extending beyond a period of five (5) working days) granted to any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in accordance with applicable O.C.S.O. policies, procedures,
and/or employment contracts.
b. Subject to the SHERIFF'S right to consolidate the assigned shifts of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES
in order to concentrate law enforcement efforts to meet particular law enforcement priorities
and needs, the SHERIFF shall assign shifts to SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES contracted for under
this Agreement so as to provide the broadest possible coverage of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
949
c. All O.C.S.O. policies, procedures, employment contracts, etc., which may be applicable to
this Agreement shall be made available by the SHERIFF for inspection by the
MUNICIPALITY LIAISON at the O.C.S.O., by appointment, during normal business hours.
6. Subject to the SHERIFF'S sole discretion and judgment as to the county-wide prioritization of
resources and law enforcement needs, any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES, beyond the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during a bi-
weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, may be made available by the SHERIFF to the
MUNICIPALITY on an overtime basis. Except for overtime incurred due to late calls, report writing,
court appearances, emergencies, or holiday pay overtime, as shown in SCHEDULE B - HOLIDAY
PAY (hereafter "SCHEDULE B") which is attached to, incorporated in and made a part of this
Agreement, all other overtime charges incurred by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, which are charged to
the MUNICIPALITY, shall be approved, in advance, in writing, by the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. Any
such additional hours of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES provided shall
be invoiced to and paid by the MUNICIPALITY directly to the COUNTY at the Overtime Hourly Rates
shown in SCHEDULE C - HOURLY RATES (hereafter "SCHEDULE C") which is attached to,
incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement, and shall be in addition to any amounts otherwise
due and owing under the terms of this Agreement. If, however, in the unlikely event that the O.C.S.O.
is able to provide any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES as requested by the
MUNICIPALITY in addition to the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during
a bi-weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, without the O.C.S.O. actually incurring any
direct or indirect obligation to pay any overtime premium to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY as a result, the
Regular Hourly Rates shown in SCHEDULE C for those additional hours of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES for which the O.C.S.O. does not incur any overtime obligation shall be invoiced and paid
by the MUNICIPALITY as otherwise provided herein. All holiday pay charges to the MUNICIPALITY
shall be calculated and invoiced in accordance with SCHEDULE B.
7. The MUNICIPALITY shall not have the right under this Agreement to assign, delegate, or otherwise,
transfer, promise, commit, or lend any O.C.S.O.'S or SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S services, duties, or
obligations under this Agreement to any other public or private person, corporation, entity, or
organization of any kind. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY perceives the need for any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES beyond those SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' services
contracted for in SCHEDULE A, due to some unusual MUNICIPALITY circumstances that, in the
MUNICIPALITY'S judgment, may require additional LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, the
MUNICIPALITY shall address such concerns for additional LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the
SHERIFF as provided for in this Agreement (i.e., preceding Paragraph).
8. The MUNICIPALITY will pay the O.C.S.O. for all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES rendered pursuant to this Agreement at the bi-weekly rates shown in SCHEDULE A. The
MUNICIPALITY further agrees to reimburse the O.C.S.O. for any and all additional hours of work,
overtime, and/or holiday pay costs incurred by the O.C.S.O. in providing LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this Agreement. For every bi-weekly period
(corresponding to established O.C.S.O. payroll periods) during which any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
renders any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this
Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall prepare and send to the MUNICIPALITY an invoice that sets forth the
bi-weekly amount due for each SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES rendered
during that bi-weekly period, plus any charges for any additional hours of work, overtime, and/or
holiday pay, as provided for herein, during that bi-weekly billing period. All overtime charges are to be
itemized and designated for the reason incurred. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to pay to the COUNTY
the full amounts due on any such invoice within 30 days of the invoice date.
9. Should the MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts required
under this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that upon notice from the Oakland County
Treasurer to the Treasurer of the State of Michigan (or any other State of Michigan official authorized
to disburse funds to the MUNICIPALITY), the State of Michigan is authorized to withhold any funds
due the MUNICIPALITY from the State and assign those funds to partially or completely offset any
deficiency by the MUNCIPALITY to the County. Such funds shall be paid directly to the COUNTY.
Further, the MUNCIPALITY waives any claims against the State or COUNTY, or their respective
officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY. Furthermore, should the MUNICIPALITY fail for
any reason to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts required under this Agreement, the County
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
950
Treasurer shall be entitled to set-off and retain any amounts due the MUNICIPALITY from Delinquent
Tax Revolving Fund (“DTFR”) or any other source of funds due to the MUNCIPALITY in possession
of the County, to partially or completely offset any deficiency by the MUNICIPALITY, unless expressly
prohibited by law. Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment unless expressly prohibited by
law. Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY.
Further, the MUNICIPALITY waives any claims against the COUNTY, or its officials, for any such
amounts paid to the COUNTY. Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to limit in any way the
COUNTY’S right to pursue any other legal remedies against the MUNCIPALITY for the
reimbursement of amounts due the COUNTY under this Agreement. The remedies in this paragraph
are available to the COUNTY on an ongoing and successive basis, as the MUNICIPALITY becomes
delinquent in its payments.
10. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. agree and warrant that neither the O.C.S.O. nor any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise, shall be considered or claimed to be
an employee of the MUNICIPALITY and further agree that, at all times and for all purposes under the
terms of this Agreement, the O.C.S.O.'S legal status and relationship to the MUNICIPALITY shall be
that of an INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees that in any writing or
any other communication prepared by, for, or at the direction of the MUNICIPALITY, the
MUNICIPALITY shall neither state, suggest, nor imply that any employment status and/or
employment relationship exists between any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and the MUNICIPALITY.
11. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. agree and warrant that, at all times and for all purposes
relevant to this Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall remain the sole and exclusive employer of all
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES and that the O.C.S.O. shall remain solely and exclusively responsible for the
payment of all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' wages, compensation, overtime wages, expenses, fringe
benefits, pension or retirement benefits, travel expenses, mileage allowances, training expenses,
transportation costs, and/or other allowances or reimbursements of any kind, including, but not limited
to, workers' disability compensation, unemployment compensation, Social Security Act protection(s)
and benefits, any employment taxes, and/or any other statutory or contractual right or benefit based,
in any way, upon any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S status as an employee of the O.C.S.O. Except as
expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY shall not grant, give, allow, pay,
reimburse, compensate, or otherwise provide any wages, fringe benefits, privileges, gifts, equipment,
automobiles, personal property, supplies, benefits, entitlement, consideration (monetary or otherwise)
or any other thing of value, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any
individual SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. Any consideration, monetary or otherwise, paid directly to the
COUNTY and/or any personal property, automobiles, or any portable equipment (e.g., portable
telephones, portable computers, beepers, etc.) supplied, provided, and/or leased directly to the
COUNTY shall not, for any purpose of this Agreement, be interpreted as being provided by the
MUNICIPALITY, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any individual
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
12. The MUNICIPALITY may, in its discretion, in such locations and circumstances as it decides, provide
suitable office space, office equipment, all required utilities and related facilities (e.g., desks, chairs,
copying machines, fax machines, typewriters, permanently installed telephones, lockers, locker room
facilities, uniform changing areas, etc.) in MUNICIPALITY-owned or leased buildings to the O.C.S.O.
for use by SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, which shall be referred to as a
MUNICIPALITY "Sub-Station". Alternatively, the O.C.S.O. may provide or supplement any existing
desks, chairs, copying machines, fax machines, etc. located in the MUNICIPALITY Sub-Station with
O.C.S.O. personal property and equipment. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that the
MUNICIPALITY benefits in providing a Sub-Station for O.C.S.O. use by minimizing the time spent by
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY driving from the main O.C.S.O. Law
Enforcement Complex in Pontiac, Michigan, to the MUNICIPALITY to perform certain paper and desk
work and eliminating the "lost drive time" to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES within the
MUNICIPALITY due to the fact that SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES otherwise would begin and end their work
shift(s) at the main O.C.S.O. Law Enforcement Complex instead of within the MUNICIPALITY. The
MUNICIPALITY'S provision of any Sub-Station facilities and/or the use of any Sub-Station facilities by
the O.C.S.O. shall be by mutual agreement and consent of the parties. Under no circumstances shall
the MUNICIPALITY be obligated under the terms of this Agreement to provide any such Sub-Station
facilities, nor shall the O.C.S.O. be obligated to use any such Sub-Station facilities if offered. If the
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
951
MUNICIPALITY decides it will offer to provide the O.C.S.O. with Sub-Station facilities and the
O.C.S.O. agrees to use such Sub-Station facilities, the following terms and conditions shall apply:
a. Use of a Sub-Station shall be deemed to be a MUNICIPALITY grant of a revocable,
nonexclusive License over that portion of such MUNICIPALITY premises for use by the
O.C.S.O. and SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY.
b. The MUNICIPALITY will be responsible for maintenance of the premises, which includes: any

to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, the MUNICIPALITY shall direct such

MUNICIPALITY with a new proposed agreement for continued LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
on, or before, August 22, 2010. In no event shall this paragraph be interpreted to obligate the
O.C.S.O. or the MUNICIPALITY to continue any Agreement for any LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES beyond the expiration of this Agreement unless a new fully executed contract is executed
by the parties. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY terminates this Agreement or elects not to enter

MUNICIPALITY agrees to consider for employment in its police department any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY

MUNICIPALITY be obligated to hire any such SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
22. The parties shall send, by first class mail, all correspondence and written notices required or
permitted by this Agreement to each signatory to this Agreement, or any signatory successor in office,

correspondence or written notices shall be considered delivered to a party as of the date that such
notice is deposited with sufficient postage with the U.S. Postal Service.
23. This Agreement is neither intended, nor shall it be interpreted, to create, change, modify, supplement,
supersede, or otherwise affect or control, in any manner or at any time, the terms or conditions of
employment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with the O.C.S.O., any applicable O.C.S.O. employment
and/or union contract, and/or any O.C.S.O. rule(s), regulation(s), hours of work, shift assignment,
order(s), policy(ies), procedure(s), directive(s), ethical guideline(s), etc., which shall, solely and
exclusively, govern and control the employment relationship between the O.C.S.O. and any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and/or the conduct and actions of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. To illustrate, but
not otherwise limit, this Agreement does not and shall not be interpreted to limit, modify, control, or
otherwise affect, in any manner:
a. The complete and unilateral discretion of the SHERIFF to either continue or revoke the
deputization of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, or any other person who, in the SHERIFF'S sole
judgment, he does not believe is qualified or otherwise fit to be a SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
b. The O.C.S.O.'S sole and exclusive right, obligation, responsibility, and discretion to employ,
compensate, assign, reassign, transfer, promote, reclassify, discipline, demote, layoff,
furlough, discharge any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and/or pay any and all SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S
wages, salaries, allowances, reimbursements, compensation, fringe benefits, or otherwise
decide any and all such terms and conditions of employment and make any and all
employment decisions that affect, in any way, the employment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
with the O.C.S.D, subject only to its collective bargaining Agreements.
c. The SHERIFF'S sole and exclusive right, obligation, and responsibility to determine,
establish, modify, or implement any and all operational policies, procedures, orders, rules,
regulations, ethical guidelines, and/or any other judgment, policy or directive which, in any
way, governs or controls any activity of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, any necessary SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S training standards or proficiency(ies), any level or amount of required supervision,
any and all standards of performance, any sequence or manner of performance, and any
level(s) of experience, training, or education required for any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
performing any O.C.S.O. duty or obligation under the terms of this Agreement.
24. The SHERIFF and the COUNTY reserve to themselves any rights and obligations relating to the
provision of any and all police and/or governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, and this
Agreement does not, and is not intended to, diminish, delegate, divest, impair, or contravene any
constitutional, statutory, and/or other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, capacity, immunity,
or character of office of either the SHERIFF, the COUNTY, and/or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The
COUNTY and the SHERIFF further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is neither intended,
nor shall it be interpreted, so as to create, grant, modify, supersede, alter, or change, in any manner
or form, any right, privilege, benefit, or any other term or condition of employment, of any kind or
nature whatsoever, in, upon, or for any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S agent(s),
representative(s), union(s), or the successor(s) or assign(s) of any of them.
25. This Agreement is made and entered into in the State of Michigan and shall in all respects be
interpreted, enforced and governed under the laws of the State of Michigan. The language of all
parts of this Agreement shall in all cases be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and
not construed strictly for or against any party. As used in this Agreement, the singular or plural
number, the possessive or nonpossessive, shall be deemed to include the other whenever the
context so indicates or requires.
26. Absent an expressly written waiver, the failure of any party to pursue any right granted under this
Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of that right with regard to any existing or subsequent
breach or default under this Agreement. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise of
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
954
any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, power or
privilege.
27. This Agreement shall be binding upon the COUNTY, the SHERIFF, and the MUNICIPALITY to the
extent permitted by law, upon their successors and assigns, and all persons acting by, through,
under, or in concert with any of them.
28. This Agreement, consisting of fifteen (15) pages, including SCHEDULE A, SCHEDULE B, and
SCHEDULE C (incorporated herein), sets forth the entire Agreement between the O.C.S.O. and the
MUNICIPALITY with regard to the O.C.S.O.'S provision of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES and/or
any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S services to the MUNICIPALITY, and fully supersedes any and all prior
agreements or understandings between them in any way related to the subject matter hereof. It is
further understood and agreed that the terms of this Agreement are contractual and are not mere
recitals and that there are no other agreements, understandings, or representations between the
O.C.S.O. and the MUNICIPALITY in any way related to the subject matter hereof, except as

any O.C.S.O. authorized or required training session, function or meeting; and
3. Provision of any Mutual Aid as described and defined above; and
4. Appearance in any Court or at any meeting with any other law enforcement agency in
connection with any prosecution or Court appearance related to MUNICIPALITY law
enforcement activities; and
5. Performance of any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the MUNICIPALITY that
takes any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY outside the MUNICIPALITY'S geographical area;
and
6. Any approved period of annual leave, sick leave, holiday leave, personal leave, or
any other approved, paid leave (except any paid disciplinary leave and/or long-term
disability leave extending beyond a period of five (5) working days) granted to any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in accordance with applicable O.C.S.O. policies, procedures,
and/or employment contracts.
b. Subject to the SHERIFF'S right to consolidate the assigned shifts of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES
in order to concentrate law enforcement efforts to meet particular law enforcement priorities
and needs, the SHERIFF shall assign shifts to SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES contracted for under
this Agreement so as to provide the broadest possible coverage of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
c. All O.C.S.O. policies, procedures, employment contracts, etc., which may be applicable to
this Agreement shall be made available by the SHERIFF for inspection by the
MUNICIPALITY LIAISON at the O.C.S.O., by appointment, during normal business hours.
6. Subject to the SHERIFF'S sole discretion and judgment as to the county-wide prioritization of
resources and law enforcement needs, any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES, beyond the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during a bi-
weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, may be made available by the SHERIFF to the
MUNICIPALITY on an overtime basis. Except for overtime incurred due to late calls, report writing,
court appearances, emergencies, or holiday pay overtime, as shown in SCHEDULE B - HOLIDAY
PAY (hereafter "SCHEDULE B") which is attached to, incorporated in and made a part of this
Agreement, all other overtime charges incurred by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, which are charged to
the MUNICIPALITY, shall be approved, in advance, in writing, by the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. Any
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
959
such additional hours of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES provided shall
be invoiced to and paid by the MUNICIPALITY directly to the COUNTY at the Overtime Hourly Rates
shown in SCHEDULE C - HOURLY RATES (hereafter "SCHEDULE C") which is attached to,
incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement, and shall be in addition to any amounts otherwise
due and owing under the terms of this Agreement. If, however, in the unlikely event that the O.C.S.O.
is able to provide any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES as requested by the
MUNICIPALITY in addition to the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during
a bi-weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, without the O.C.S.O. actually incurring any
direct or indirect obligation to pay any overtime premium to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY as a result, the
Regular Hourly Rates shown in SCHEDULE C for those additional hours of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES for which the O.C.S.O. does not incur any overtime obligation shall be invoiced and paid
by the MUNICIPALITY as otherwise provided herein. All holiday pay charges to the MUNICIPALITY
shall be calculated and invoiced in accordance with SCHEDULE B.
7. The MUNICIPALITY shall not have the right under this Agreement to assign, delegate, or otherwise,
transfer, promise, commit, or lend any O.C.S.O.'S or SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S services, duties, or
obligations under this Agreement to any other public or private person, corporation, entity, or
organization of any kind. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY perceives the need for any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES beyond those SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' services
contracted for in SCHEDULE A, due to some unusual MUNICIPALITY circumstances that, in the
MUNICIPALITY'S judgment, may require additional LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, the
MUNICIPALITY shall address such concerns for additional LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the
SHERIFF as provided for in this Agreement (i.e., preceding Paragraph).
8. The MUNICIPALITY will pay the O.C.S.O. for all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES rendered pursuant to this Agreement at the bi-weekly rates shown in SCHEDULE A. The
MUNICIPALITY further agrees to reimburse the O.C.S.O. for any and all additional hours of work,
overtime, and/or holiday pay costs incurred by the O.C.S.O. in providing LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this Agreement. For every bi-weekly period
(corresponding to established O.C.S.O. payroll periods) during which any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
renders any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this
Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall prepare and send to the MUNICIPALITY an invoice that sets forth the
bi-weekly amount due for each SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES rendered
during that bi-weekly period, plus any charges for any additional hours of work, overtime, and/or
holiday pay, as provided for herein, during that bi-weekly billing period. All overtime charges are to be
itemized and designated for the reason incurred. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to pay to the COUNTY
the full amounts due on any such invoice within 30 days of the invoice date.
9. Should the MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts required
under this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that upon notice from the Oakland County
Treasurer to the Treasurer of the State of Michigan (or any other State of Michigan official authorized
to disburse funds to the MUNICIPALITY), the State of Michigan is authorized to withhold any funds
due the MUNICIPALITY from the State and assign those funds to partially or completely offset any
deficiency by the MUNCIPALITY to the County. Such funds shall be paid directly to the COUNTY.
Further, the MUNCIPALITY waives any claims against the State or COUNTY, or their respective
officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY. Furthermore, should the MUNICIPALITY fail for
any reason to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts required under this Agreement, the County
Treasurer shall be entitled to set-off and retain any amounts due the MUNICIPALITY from Delinquent
Tax Revolving Fund (“DTFR”) or any other source of funds due to the MUNCIPALITY in possession
of the County, to partially or completely offset any deficiency by the MUNICIPALITY, unless expressly
prohibited by law. Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment unless expressly prohibited by
law. Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY.
Further, the MUNICIPALITY waives any claims against the COUNTY, or its officials, for any such
amounts paid to the COUNTY. Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to limit in any way the
COUNTY’S right to pursue any other legal remedies against the MUNCIPALITY for the
reimbursement of amounts due the COUNTY under this Agreement. The remedies in this paragraph
are available to the COUNTY on an ongoing and successive basis, as the MUNICIPALITY becomes
delinquent in its payments.

10. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. agree and warrant that neither the O.C.S.O. nor any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise, shall be considered or claimed to be
an employee of the MUNICIPALITY and further agree that, at all times and for all purposes under the
terms of this Agreement, the O.C.S.O.'S legal status and relationship to the MUNICIPALITY shall be
that of an INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees that in any writing or
any other communication prepared by, for, or at the direction of the MUNICIPALITY, the
MUNICIPALITY shall neither state, suggest, nor imply that any employment status and/or
employment relationship exists between any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and the MUNICIPALITY.
11. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. agree and warrant that, at all times and for all purposes
relevant to this Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall remain the sole and exclusive employer of all
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES and that the O.C.S.O. shall remain solely and exclusively responsible for the
payment of all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' wages, compensation, overtime wages, expenses, fringe
benefits, pension or retirement benefits, travel expenses, mileage allowances, training expenses,
transportation costs, and/or other allowances or reimbursements of any kind, including, but not limited
to, workers' disability compensation, unemployment compensation, Social Security Act protection(s)
and benefits, any employment taxes, and/or any other statutory or contractual right or benefit based,
in any way, upon any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S status as an employee of the O.C.S.O. Except as
expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY shall not grant, give, allow, pay,
reimburse, compensate, or otherwise provide any wages, fringe benefits, privileges, gifts, equipment,
automobiles, personal property, supplies, benefits, entitlement, consideration (monetary or otherwise)
or any other thing of value, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any
individual SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. Any consideration, monetary or otherwise, paid directly to the
COUNTY and/or any personal property, automobiles, or any portable equipment (e.g., portable
telephones, portable computers, beepers, etc.) supplied, provided, and/or leased directly to the
COUNTY shall not, for any purpose of this Agreement, be interpreted as being provided by the
MUNICIPALITY, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any individual
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
12. The MUNICIPALITY may, in its discretion, in such locations and circumstances as it decides, provide
suitable office space, office equipment, all required utilities and related facilities (e.g., desks, chairs,
copying machines, fax machines, typewriters, permanently installed telephones, lockers, locker room
facilities, uniform changing areas, etc.) in MUNICIPALITY-owned or leased buildings to the O.C.S.O.
for use by SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, which shall be referred to as a
MUNICIPALITY "Sub-Station". Alternatively, the O.C.S.O. may provide or supplement any existing
desks, chairs, copying machines, fax machines, etc. located in the MUNICIPALITY Sub-Station with
O.C.S.O. personal property and equipment. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that the
MUNICIPALITY benefits in providing a Sub-Station for O.C.S.O. use by minimizing the time spent by
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY driving from the main O.C.S.O. Law
Enforcement Complex in Pontiac, Michigan, to the MUNICIPALITY to perform certain paper and desk
work and eliminating the "lost drive time" to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES within the
MUNICIPALITY due to the fact that SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES otherwise would begin and end their work
shift(s) at the main O.C.S.O. Law Enforcement Complex instead of within the MUNICIPALITY. The
MUNICIPALITY'S provision of any Sub-Station facilities and/or the use of any Sub-Station facilities by
the O.C.S.O. shall be by mutual agreement and consent of the parties. Under no circumstances shall
the MUNICIPALITY be obligated under the terms of this Agreement to provide any such Sub-Station
facilities, nor shall the O.C.S.O. be obligated to use any such Sub-Station facilities if offered. If the
MUNICIPALITY decides it will offer to provide the O.C.S.O. with Sub-Station facilities and the
O.C.S.O. agrees to use such Sub-Station facilities, the following terms and conditions shall apply:
a. Use of a Sub-Station shall be deemed to be a MUNICIPALITY grant of a revocable,
nonexclusive License over that portion of such MUNICIPALITY premises for use by the
O.C.S.O. and SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY.
b. The MUNICIPALITY will be responsible for maintenance of the premises, which includes: any
necessary repairs, improvements, installation and maintenance of all necessary security
locks, devices and fire safety devices and safety precautions, reconstruction, custodial
services, including rubbish and trash removal for the Facility, and also includes the provision
of utilities required to operate the facility for the purposes of this License, including, but not

961
limited to, heat, air conditioning, power, and water (but excluding any monthly telephone
charges for permanently installed Sub-Station telephone), at no cost to the O.C.S.O.
c. Use of the Sub-Station License shall end upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement
as provided herein. Any such Sub-Station License shall also be terminable, at any time and
for any reason, by the MUNICIPALITY, the COUNTY, or the SHERIFF.
d. SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES shall use due care in their use of any Sub-Station facilities and
equipment. The MUNICIPALITY agrees that the MUNICIPALITY and the MUNICIPALITY’s
Insurance Carrier will waive all rights of subrogation against OAKLAND COUNTY for any loss
or damage to the Sub-Station premises or property therein which is owned or insured by the
Municipality. The MUNICIPALITY will provide the COUNTY with a Certificate of insurance
that contains the following language: “The MUNICIPALITY and the Insurance Carrier named
herein agree to waive all rights of subrogation against Oakland County for any loss or
damage to premises or property owned by or insured by the MUNICIPALITY”. The
MUNICIPALITY will provide this Certificate of Insurance to the Oakland County Sheriff’s
Office, County Service Center, Building #38 East, 1200 N. Telegraph Road, Pontiac,
Michigan 48341-1044 prior to January 1, 2010. All Certificates of Insurance are subject to
approval by the Oakland County Office of Risk Management.
13. Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that this Agreement
does not, and is not intended to, transfer, delegate, or assign to the COUNTY, the SHERIFF, and/or
any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY any civil or legal responsibility, obligation, duty of care, or liability
associated with any governmental function delegated and/or entrusted to the MUNICIPALITY under
existing law.
14. Except as expressly provided for under the terms of this Agreement, no SHERIFF'S DEPUTY while
acting under the terms of this Agreement shall perform any services directly or otherwise be available
to perform any other work or assignments, and no SHERIFF'S DEPUTY shall be otherwise employed
or utilized, in any manner or capacity, by the MUNICIPALITY.
15. The MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may contact the O.C.S.O. LIAISON, as defined above, to request,
advise, or otherwise make the O.C.S.O. aware of particular law enforcement needs and services
within the MUNICIPALITY, or to provide other relevant information which has come to the attention of
the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. The MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may also bring to the SHERIFF'S
attention any concerns that the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may have regarding the assignment of any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY to the MUNICIPALITY. The SHERIFF shall provide the MUNICIPALITY
LIAISON an opportunity to interview and meet any command officers before they are assigned to the
MUNICIPALITY; however, the SHERIFF'S decision on the assignment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
shall be final. The O.C.S.O. LIAISON shall, only to the extent that any such communication would not
interfere in an ongoing criminal investigation or prosecution, keep the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON
reasonably informed regarding criminal and/or law enforcement activities within the MUNICIPALITY
and advise the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON, as soon as practicable, of any changes in any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to perform LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the
MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, however, neither the
MUNICIPALITY nor the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON shall otherwise provide, furnish or assign any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with any job instructions, job descriptions, job specifications, or job duties, or in
any manner attempt to control, supervise, train, or direct any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in the
performance of any O.C.S.O.'S duty or obligation under the terms of this Agreement.
16. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to promptly notify and/or provide the SHERIFF with any information that
may come to its knowledge or possession regarding any act contrary to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, or any other questionable act(s) or omission(s), or any allegation of same, by any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees that it shall promptly deliver to the SHERIFF
written notice and copies of any complaint(s), charge(s), or any other accusation(s) or allegation(s) of
wrongdoing, whether civil or criminal in nature, which the MUNICIPALITY becomes aware of
regarding any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to cooperate with the O.C.S.O. in
any investigation conducted by the SHERIFF into the character and/or fitness of any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY.
17. The O.C.S.O. shall be solely and exclusively responsible for providing SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES with all
necessary tools, automobiles, radios, communications equipment, firearms, and any and all other
equipment that the O.C.S.O., in its sole judgment, deems required or beneficial for the completion of
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
962
any O.C.S.O.'S duty under the terms of this Agreement. The O.C.S.O. shall also be solely and
exclusively responsible for any and all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' business expenses, licenses, taxes,
uniform or equipment costs, insurance(s), supplies, etc., except that any stationery, notices, forms,
MUNICIPALITY ordinance appearance tickets, etc., which are required to bear the name of the
MUNICIPALITY, shall be supplied to the O.C.S.O. by the MUNICIPALITY at the MUNICIPALITY'S
sole cost and expense. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY wants any special or additional personal
property or equipment (i.e., cellular telephones, beepers, personal items or equipment, portable
computers, automobiles, motorcycles, etc.) to be provided, at MUNICIPALITY expense or otherwise,
to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, the MUNICIPALITY shall direct such
requests to the O.C.S.O. which shall solely decide whether such personal property or special
equipment shall be provided. Any and all such additional personal property, portable or individual use
equipment or property, and/or any special equipment to be provided by the MUNICIPALITY shall be
provided directly and exclusively to the O.C.S.O., and then ONLY pursuant to a separate written
lease agreement between the MUNICIPALITY and the COUNTY. As intended by this Paragraph and
elsewhere in this Agreement, no personal property, supplies, or other equipment, nor the use thereof,
shall be provided or made available by the MUNICIPALITY directly to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY,
except through a written lease as provided for in this paragraph.
18. Each party shall be responsible for its own acts and/or omissions and the acts and/or omissions of its
employees and agents under the terms of this Agreement, the costs associated with those acts
and/or omissions, and the defense of those acts and/or omissions. This Agreement does not, and is
not intended to, waive, impair, divest, delegate, or contravene any constitutional, statutory, and/or
other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, or immunity of the Parties.
19. Subject to the following Paragraph, this Agreement shall become effective at 12:01 A.M., January 1,
2010, and shall remain in effect continuously until it expires, without any further act or notice being
required by either party, at 11:59 P.M. on December 31, 2010. In addition, any party may terminate
this Agreement, prior to its December 31, 2010 expiration, upon written notification to all others at
least ninety (90) days prior to the proposed termination date, which date shall be clearly stated in the
written notice. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, all further O.C.S.O.'S obligations
to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under this Agreement shall end.
20. This Agreement, and any subsequent amendments, shall not become effective prior to the approval
by concurrent resolutions of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners and the MUNICIPALITY
Governing Body. The approval and terms of this Agreement shall be entered in the official minutes
and proceedings of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners and MUNICIPALITY Governing Body and
shall also be filed with the office of the Clerk for the COUNTY and the MUNICIPALITY. In addition,
this Agreement and any subsequent amendments shall be filed with the Secretary of State for the
State of Michigan by the O.C.S.O. and shall not become effective or implemented prior to its filing
with the Secretary of State.
21. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY wishes to enter into a new agreement for LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES upon the expiration of this Agreement, it will notify the O.C.S.O., in writing, of this intent
no later than July 31, 2010. If the MUNICIPALITY, as above, notifies the O.C.S.O. of its intent to
enter into a new agreement, and the O.C.S.O. has a similar interest, the O.C.S.O. shall present the
MUNICIPALITY with a new proposed agreement for continued LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
on, or before, August 22, 2010. In no event shall this paragraph be interpreted to obligate the
O.C.S.O. or the MUNICIPALITY to continue any Agreement for any LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES beyond the expiration of this Agreement unless a new fully executed contract is executed
by the parties. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY terminates this Agreement or elects not to enter
into a subsequent agreement because it decides to establish its own police department, the
MUNICIPALITY agrees to consider for employment in its police department any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
who may be laid off by the O.C.S.O. as a result of this decision, but in no event shall the
MUNICIPALITY be obligated to hire any such SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
22. The parties shall send, by first class mail, all correspondence and written notices required or
permitted by this Agreement to each signatory to this Agreement, or any signatory successor in office,
to the addresses shown in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided for herein, all
correspondence or written notices shall be considered delivered to a party as of the date that such
notice is deposited with sufficient postage with the U.S. Postal Service.

23. This Agreement is neither intended, nor shall it be interpreted, to create, change, modify, supplement,
supersede, or otherwise affect or control, in any manner or at any time, the terms or conditions of
employment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with the O.C.S.O., any applicable O.C.S.O. employment
and/or union contract, and/or any O.C.S.O. rule(s), regulation(s), hours of work, shift assignment,
order(s), policy(ies), procedure(s), directive(s), ethical guideline(s), etc., which shall, solely and
exclusively, govern and control the employment relationship between the O.C.S.O. and any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and/or the conduct and actions of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. To illustrate, but
not otherwise limit, this Agreement does not and shall not be interpreted to limit, modify, control, or
otherwise affect, in any manner:
a. The complete and unilateral discretion of the SHERIFF to either continue or revoke the
deputization of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, or any other person who, in the SHERIFF'S sole
judgment, he does not believe is qualified or otherwise fit to be a SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
b. The O.C.S.O.'S sole and exclusive right, obligation, responsibility, and discretion to employ,
compensate, assign, reassign, transfer, promote, reclassify, discipline, demote, layoff,
furlough, discharge any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and/or pay any and all SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S
wages, salaries, allowances, reimbursements, compensation, fringe benefits, or otherwise
decide any and all such terms and conditions of employment and make any and all
employment decisions that affect, in any way, the employment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
with the O.C.S.D, subject only to its collective bargaining Agreements.
c. The SHERIFF'S sole and exclusive right, obligation, and responsibility to determine,
establish, modify, or implement any and all operational policies, procedures, orders, rules,
regulations, ethical guidelines, and/or any other judgment, policy or directive which, in any
way, governs or controls any activity of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, any necessary SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S training standards or proficiency(ies), any level or amount of required supervision,
any and all standards of performance, any sequence or manner of performance, and any
level(s) of experience, training, or education required for any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
performing any O.C.S.O. duty or obligation under the terms of this Agreement.
24. The SHERIFF and the COUNTY reserve to themselves any rights and obligations relating to the
provision of any and all police and/or governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, and this
Agreement does not, and is not intended to, diminish, delegate, divest, impair, or contravene any
constitutional, statutory, and/or other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, capacity, immunity,
or character of office of either the SHERIFF, the COUNTY, and/or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The
COUNTY and the SHERIFF further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is neither intended,
nor shall it be interpreted, so as to create, grant, modify, supersede, alter, or change, in any manner
or form, any right, privilege, benefit, or any other term or condition of employment, of any kind or
nature whatsoever, in, upon, or for any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S agent(s),
representative(s), union(s), or the successor(s) or assign(s) of any of them.
25. This Agreement is made and entered into in the State of Michigan and shall in all respects be
interpreted, enforced and governed under the laws of the State of Michigan. The language of all
parts of this Agreement shall in all cases be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and
not construed strictly for or against any party. As used in this Agreement, the singular or plural
number, the possessive or nonpossessive, shall be deemed to include the other whenever the
context so indicates or requires.
26. Absent an expressly written waiver, the failure of any party to pursue any right granted under this
Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of that right with regard to any existing or subsequent
breach or default under this Agreement. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, power or
privilege.
27. This Agreement shall be binding upon the COUNTY, the SHERIFF, and the MUNICIPALITY to the
extent permitted by law, upon their successors and assigns, and all persons acting by, through,
under, or in concert with any of them.
28. This Agreement, consisting of fifteen (15) pages, including SCHEDULE A, SCHEDULE B, and
SCHEDULE C (incorporated herein), sets forth the entire Agreement between the O.C.S.O. and the
MUNICIPALITY with regard to the O.C.S.O.'S provision of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES and/or
any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S services to the MUNICIPALITY, and fully supersedes any and all prior

agreements or understandings between them in any way related to the subject matter hereof. It is
further understood and agreed that the terms of this Agreement are contractual and are not mere
recitals and that there are no other agreements, understandings, or representations between the
O.C.S.O. and the MUNICIPALITY in any way related to the subject matter hereof, except as
expressly stated herein. This Agreement shall not be changed or supplemented orally. This

SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES, or other circumstances involving public safety, a breach of peace,
civil infractions, accidents or accidental injuries, and any related governmental law
enforcement functions as authorized and/or mandated by law as limited by and to the extent
of the Number(s) and Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES contracted for by the
MUNICIPALITY in this Agreement. The governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
contemplated and to be provided under this Agreement are strictly limited to those
governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES authorized by law to be performed by the
O.C.S.O.
g. "SHERIFF'S DEPUTY" or "SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES" shall be defined to include any Captain,
Lieutenant, Sergeant, Deputy II, Deputy I, Patrol Investigator, Detective Sergeant, or any
other person or persons of any rank, classification, or title who, pursuant to state law, is a

2. The SHERIFF shall assign SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES, in such Number(s) and Rank(s) as shown in
SCHEDULE A - SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES CONTRACTED FOR AND TO BE ASSIGNED TO
MUNICIPALITY (hereafter "SCHEDULE A"), which is attached to, incorporated in and made part of
this Agreement, to perform any and all O.C.S.O. LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES contemplated in
this Agreement within the corporate limits of the MUNICIPALITY, including all private roads. LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, as defined above, shall not include O.C.S.O. police-related "Support
Services," such as Marine Division, Arson Investigation, Detective and Crime Lab services, which the
O.C.S.O. now provides on a County-wide basis, unless expressly stated to the contrary herein.
Nevertheless, such additional "Support Services" shall continue to be made available, at no additional
cost to the MUNICIPALITY, to the same extent that the O.C.S.O. continues to make such law
enforcement "Support Services" available, at no additional charge, to all other communities within
Oakland County.
a. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that, except as provided for under the terms of this
Agreement, the SHERIFF has only limited responsibility for LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES in the MUNICIPALITY and is not otherwise required, except as provided herein,
to assign any specific Number(s) or Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES to provide LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
b. The SHERIFF will make every reasonable effort to provide professional LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY, following generally accepted standards
for police protection, with the levels of staff provided for in SCHEDULE A.
c. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be
interpreted to include any warranty, promise or guaranty, either express or implied, or of any
kind or nature whatsoever, in favor of the MUNICIPALITY and/or any other person or
MUNICIPALITY resident that the O.C.S.O.'S provision of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
under this Agreement will result in any specific reduction or prevention of criminal activity
within the MUNICIPALITY or any other performance-based outcome.
3. The O.C.S.O. and the MUNICIPALITY agree that the sole and exclusive purpose of this Agreement is
to provide governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES in and for the MUNICIPALITY. Except
as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that this
Agreement does not, and is not intended to, create, by implication or otherwise, any specific, direct or
indirect obligation, duty, promise, benefit, and/or special right to O.C.S.O.' s LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES in favor of or to the benefit of any particular person(s) beyond the O.C.S.O.'S and/or any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S law enforcement officer duty, as established under existing law, to the
general public.
4. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted
for and assigned to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY, as provided
for in SCHEDULE A, shall work, during those hours for which the MUNICIPALITY is being charged,
only on MUNICIPALITY-related police matters. It is understood and agreed, however, that "Mutual
Aid" between communities may be provided to surrounding communities. "Mutual Aid," as used in the
previous sentence, means that any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to the
MUNICIPALITY may be absent from the MUNICIPALITY, at MUNICIPALITY expense, when
temporarily called to the aid of another community due to an emergency or other exceptional
circumstance or because a SHERIFF'S DEPUTY possesses some special skill or qualification
temporarily needed in that other community.

5. Under the terms of this Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall assign to the MUNICIPALITY the Number(s)
and Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES shown in SCHEDULE A to perform all of the LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES contemplated under this Agreement. As used throughout this
Agreement, any reference to the Number(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES, as shown in SCHEDULE A,
shall be defined and quantified as EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during
a bi-weekly period by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY of the specified Rank(s), for each of the SHERIFF'S
DEPUTIES contracted for and assigned by the SHERIFF to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
a. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this subparagraph or in SCHEDULE A,
whenever any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to provide LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY is not present in the MUNICIPALITY
geographical area, due to any of the reasons described in subparagraphs 1 - 6 below, such
periods of time shall be included in and counted toward the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the bi-weekly period in which it occurred.
1. Travel time, on a daily basis, to or from the O.C.S.O. in Pontiac, Michigan, at the
beginning or end of any shift by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, if that SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S shift starts or ends in Pontiac; and
2. Attendance (not to exceed 100 hours per SHERIFF'S DEPUTY per calendar year) at
any O.C.S.O. authorized or required training session, function or meeting; and
3. Provision of any Mutual Aid as described and defined above; and
4. Appearance in any Court or at any meeting with any other law enforcement agency in
connection with any prosecution or Court appearance related to MUNICIPALITY law
enforcement activities; and
5. Performance of any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the MUNICIPALITY that
takes any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY outside the MUNICIPALITY'S geographical area;
and
6. Any approved period of annual leave, sick leave, holiday leave, personal leave, or
any other approved, paid leave (except any paid disciplinary leave and/or long-term
disability leave extending beyond a period of five (5) working days) granted to any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in accordance with applicable O.C.S.O. policies, procedures,
and/or employment contracts.
b. Subject to the SHERIFF'S right to consolidate the assigned shifts of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES
in order to concentrate law enforcement efforts to meet particular law enforcement priorities
and needs, the SHERIFF shall assign shifts to SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES contracted for under
this Agreement so as to provide the broadest possible coverage of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
c. All O.C.S.O. policies, procedures, employment contracts, etc., which may be applicable to
this Agreement shall be made available by the SHERIFF for inspection by the
MUNICIPALITY LIAISON at the O.C.S.O., by appointment, during normal business hours.
6. Subject to the SHERIFF'S sole discretion and judgment as to the county-wide prioritization of
resources and law enforcement needs, any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES, beyond the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during a bi-
weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, may be made available by the SHERIFF to the
MUNICIPALITY on an overtime basis. Except for overtime incurred due to late calls, report writing,
court appearances, emergencies, or holiday pay overtime, as shown in SCHEDULE B - HOLIDAY
PAY (hereafter "SCHEDULE B") which is attached to, incorporated in and made a part of this
Agreement, all other overtime charges incurred by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, which are charged to
the MUNICIPALITY, shall be approved, in advance, in writing, by the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. Any
such additional hours of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES provided shall
be invoiced to and paid by the MUNICIPALITY directly to the COUNTY at the Overtime Hourly Rates
shown in SCHEDULE C - HOURLY RATES (hereafter "SCHEDULE C") which is attached to,
incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement, and shall be in addition to any amounts otherwise
due and owing under the terms of this Agreement. If, however, in the unlikely event that the O.C.S.O.
is able to provide any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES as requested by the
MUNICIPALITY in addition to the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during
a bi-weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, without the O.C.S.O. actually incurring any
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
969
direct or indirect obligation to pay any overtime premium to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY as a result, the
Regular Hourly Rates shown in SCHEDULE C for those additional hours of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES for which the O.C.S.O. does not incur any overtime obligation shall be invoiced and paid
by the MUNICIPALITY as otherwise provided herein. All holiday pay charges to the MUNICIPALITY
shall be calculated and invoiced in accordance with SCHEDULE B.
7. The MUNICIPALITY shall not have the right under this Agreement to assign, delegate, or otherwise,
transfer, promise, commit, or lend any O.C.S.O.'S or SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S services, duties, or
obligations under this Agreement to any other public or private person, corporation, entity, or
organization of any kind. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY perceives the need for any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES beyond those SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' services
contracted for in SCHEDULE A, due to some unusual MUNICIPALITY circumstances that, in the
MUNICIPALITY'S judgment, may require additional LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, the
MUNICIPALITY shall address such concerns for additional LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the
SHERIFF as provided for in this Agreement (i.e., preceding Paragraph).
8. The MUNICIPALITY will pay the O.C.S.O. for all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES rendered pursuant to this Agreement at the bi-weekly rates shown in SCHEDULE A. The
MUNICIPALITY further agrees to reimburse the O.C.S.O. for any and all additional hours of work,
overtime, and/or holiday pay costs incurred by the O.C.S.O. in providing LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this Agreement. For every bi-weekly period
(corresponding to established O.C.S.O. payroll periods) during which any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
renders any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this
Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall prepare and send to the MUNICIPALITY an invoice that sets forth the
bi-weekly amount due for each SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES rendered
during that bi-weekly period, plus any charges for any additional hours of work, overtime, and/or
holiday pay, as provided for herein, during that bi-weekly billing period. All overtime charges are to be
itemized and designated for the reason incurred. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to pay to the COUNTY
the full amounts due on any such invoice within 30 days of the invoice date.
9. Should the MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts required
under this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that upon notice from the Oakland County
Treasurer to the Treasurer of the State of Michigan (or any other State of Michigan official authorized
to disburse funds to the MUNICIPALITY), the State of Michigan is authorized to withhold any funds
due the MUNICIPALITY from the State and assign those funds to partially or completely offset any
deficiency by the MUNCIPALITY to the County. Such funds shall be paid directly to the COUNTY.
Further, the MUNCIPALITY waives any claims against the State or COUNTY, or their respective
officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY. Furthermore, should the MUNICIPALITY fail for
any reason to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts required under this Agreement, the County
Treasurer shall be entitled to set-off and retain any amounts due the MUNICIPALITY from Delinquent
Tax Revolving Fund (“DTFR”) or any other source of funds due to the MUNCIPALITY in possession
of the County, to partially or completely offset any deficiency by the MUNICIPALITY, unless expressly
prohibited by law. Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment unless expressly prohibited by
law. Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY.
Further, the MUNICIPALITY waives any claims against the COUNTY, or its officials, for any such
amounts paid to the COUNTY. Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to limit in any way the
COUNTY’S right to pursue any other legal remedies against the MUNCIPALITY for the
reimbursement of amounts due the COUNTY under this Agreement. The remedies in this paragraph
are available to the COUNTY on an ongoing and successive basis, as the MUNICIPALITY becomes
delinquent in its payments.
10. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. agree and warrant that neither the O.C.S.O. nor any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise, shall be considered or claimed to be
an employee of the MUNICIPALITY and further agree that, at all times and for all purposes under the
terms of this Agreement, the O.C.S.O.'S legal status and relationship to the MUNICIPALITY shall be
that of an INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees that in any writing or
any other communication prepared by, for, or at the direction of the MUNICIPALITY, the
MUNICIPALITY shall neither state, suggest, nor imply that any employment status and/or
employment relationship exists between any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and the MUNICIPALITY.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
970
11. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. agree and warrant that, at all times and for all purposes
relevant to this Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall remain the sole and exclusive employer of all
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES and that the O.C.S.O. shall remain solely and exclusively responsible for the
payment of all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' wages, compensation, overtime wages, expenses, fringe
benefits, pension or retirement benefits, travel expenses, mileage allowances, training expenses,
transportation costs, and/or other allowances or reimbursements of any kind, including, but not limited
to, workers' disability compensation, unemployment compensation, Social Security Act protection(s)
and benefits, any employment taxes, and/or any other statutory or contractual right or benefit based,
in any way, upon any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S status as an employee of the O.C.S.O. Except as
expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY shall not grant, give, allow, pay,
reimburse, compensate, or otherwise provide any wages, fringe benefits, privileges, gifts, equipment,
automobiles, personal property, supplies, benefits, entitlement, consideration (monetary or otherwise)
or any other thing of value, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any
individual SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. Any consideration, monetary or otherwise, paid directly to the
COUNTY and/or any personal property, automobiles, or any portable equipment (e.g., portable
telephones, portable computers, beepers, etc.) supplied, provided, and/or leased directly to the
COUNTY shall not, for any purpose of this Agreement, be interpreted as being provided by the
MUNICIPALITY, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any individual
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
12. The MUNICIPALITY may, in its discretion, in such locations and circumstances as it decides, provide
suitable office space, office equipment, all required utilities and related facilities (e.g., desks, chairs,
copying machines, fax machines, typewriters, permanently installed telephones, lockers, locker room
facilities, uniform changing areas, etc.) in MUNICIPALITY-owned or leased buildings to the O.C.S.O.
for use by SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, which shall be referred to as a
MUNICIPALITY "Sub-Station". Alternatively, the O.C.S.O. may provide or supplement any existing
desks, chairs, copying machines, fax machines, etc. located in the MUNICIPALITY Sub-Station with
O.C.S.O. personal property and equipment. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that the
MUNICIPALITY benefits in providing a Sub-Station for O.C.S.O. use by minimizing the time spent by
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY driving from the main O.C.S.O. Law
Enforcement Complex in Pontiac, Michigan, to the MUNICIPALITY to perform certain paper and desk
work and eliminating the "lost drive time" to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES within the
MUNICIPALITY due to the fact that SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES otherwise would begin and end their work
shift(s) at the main O.C.S.O. Law Enforcement Complex instead of within the MUNICIPALITY. The
MUNICIPALITY'S provision of any Sub-Station facilities and/or the use of any Sub-Station facilities by
the O.C.S.O. shall be by mutual agreement and consent of the parties. Under no circumstances shall
the MUNICIPALITY be obligated under the terms of this Agreement to provide any such Sub-Station
facilities, nor shall the O.C.S.O. be obligated to use any such Sub-Station facilities if offered. If the
MUNICIPALITY decides it will offer to provide the O.C.S.O. with Sub-Station facilities and the
O.C.S.O. agrees to use such Sub-Station facilities, the following terms and conditions shall apply:
a. Use of a Sub-Station shall be deemed to be a MUNICIPALITY grant of a revocable,
nonexclusive License over that portion of such MUNICIPALITY premises for use by the
O.C.S.O. and SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY.
b. The MUNICIPALITY will be responsible for maintenance of the premises, which includes: any
necessary repairs, improvements, installation and maintenance of all necessary security
locks, devices and fire safety devices and safety precautions, reconstruction, custodial
services, including rubbish and trash removal for the Facility, and also includes the provision
of utilities required to operate the facility for the purposes of this License, including, but not
limited to, heat, air conditioning, power, and water (but excluding any monthly telephone
charges for permanently installed Sub-Station telephone), at no cost to the O.C.S.O.
c. Use of the Sub-Station License shall end upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement
as provided herein. Any such Sub-Station License shall also be terminable, at any time and
for any reason, by the MUNICIPALITY, the COUNTY, or the SHERIFF.
d. SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES shall use due care in their use of any Sub-Station facilities and
equipment. The MUNICIPALITY agrees that the MUNICIPALITY and the MUNICIPALITY’s
Insurance Carrier will waive all rights of subrogation against OAKLAND COUNTY for any loss
or damage to the Sub-Station premises or property therein which is owned or insured by the
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
971
Municipality. The MUNICIPALITY will provide the COUNTY with a Certificate of insurance
that contains the following language: “The MUNICIPALITY and the Insurance Carrier named
herein agree to waive all rights of subrogation against Oakland County for any loss or
damage to premises or property owned by or insured by the MUNICIPALITY”. The
MUNICIPALITY will provide this Certificate of Insurance to the Oakland County Sheriff’s
Office, County Service Center, Building #38 East, 1200 N. Telegraph Road, Pontiac,
Michigan 48341-1044 prior to January 1, 2010. All Certificates of Insurance are subject to
approval by the Oakland County Office of Risk Management.
13. Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that this Agreement
does not, and is not intended to, transfer, delegate, or assign to the COUNTY, the SHERIFF, and/or
any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY any civil or legal responsibility, obligation, duty of care, or liability
associated with any governmental function delegated and/or entrusted to the MUNICIPALITY under
existing law.
14. Except as expressly provided for under the terms of this Agreement, no SHERIFF'S DEPUTY while
acting under the terms of this Agreement shall perform any services directly or otherwise be available
to perform any other work or assignments, and no SHERIFF'S DEPUTY shall be otherwise employed
or utilized, in any manner or capacity, by the MUNICIPALITY.
15. The MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may contact the O.C.S.O. LIAISON, as defined above, to request,
advise, or otherwise make the O.C.S.O. aware of particular law enforcement needs and services
within the MUNICIPALITY, or to provide other relevant information which has come to the attention of
the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. The MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may also bring to the SHERIFF'S
attention any concerns that the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may have regarding the assignment of any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY to the MUNICIPALITY. The SHERIFF shall provide the MUNICIPALITY
LIAISON an opportunity to interview and meet any command officers before they are assigned to the
MUNICIPALITY; however, the SHERIFF'S decision on the assignment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
shall be final. The O.C.S.O. LIAISON shall, only to the extent that any such communication would not
interfere in an ongoing criminal investigation or prosecution, keep the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON
reasonably informed regarding criminal and/or law enforcement activities within the MUNICIPALITY
and advise the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON, as soon as practicable, of any changes in any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to perform LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the
MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, however, neither the
MUNICIPALITY nor the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON shall otherwise provide, furnish or assign any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with any job instructions, job descriptions, job specifications, or job duties, or in
any manner attempt to control, supervise, train, or direct any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in the
performance of any O.C.S.O.'S duty or obligation under the terms of this Agreement.
16. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to promptly notify and/or provide the SHERIFF with any information that
may come to its knowledge or possession regarding any act contrary to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, or any other questionable act(s) or omission(s), or any allegation of same, by any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees that it shall promptly deliver to the SHERIFF
written notice and copies of any complaint(s), charge(s), or any other accusation(s) or allegation(s) of
wrongdoing, whether civil or criminal in nature, which the MUNICIPALITY becomes aware of
regarding any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to cooperate with the O.C.S.O. in
any investigation conducted by the SHERIFF into the character and/or fitness of any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY.
17. The O.C.S.O. shall be solely and exclusively responsible for providing SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES with all
necessary tools, automobiles, radios, communications equipment, firearms, and any and all other
equipment that the O.C.S.O., in its sole judgment, deems required or beneficial for the completion of
any O.C.S.O.'S duty under the terms of this Agreement. The O.C.S.O. shall also be solely and
exclusively responsible for any and all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' business expenses, licenses, taxes,
uniform or equipment costs, insurance(s), supplies, etc., except that any stationery, notices, forms,
MUNICIPALITY ordinance appearance tickets, etc., which are required to bear the name of the
MUNICIPALITY, shall be supplied to the O.C.S.O. by the MUNICIPALITY at the MUNICIPALITY'S
sole cost and expense. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY wants any special or additional personal
property or equipment (i.e., cellular telephones, beepers, personal items or equipment, portable
computers, automobiles, motorcycles, etc.) to be provided, at MUNICIPALITY expense or otherwise,
to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, the MUNICIPALITY shall direct such
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
972
requests to the O.C.S.O. which shall solely decide whether such personal property or special
equipment shall be provided. Any and all such additional personal property, portable or individual use
equipment or property, and/or any special equipment to be provided by the MUNICIPALITY shall be
provided directly and exclusively to the O.C.S.O., and then ONLY pursuant to a separate written
lease agreement between the MUNICIPALITY and the COUNTY. As intended by this Paragraph and
elsewhere in this Agreement, no personal property, supplies, or other equipment, nor the use thereof,
shall be provided or made available by the MUNICIPALITY directly to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY,
except through a written lease as provided for in this paragraph.
18. Each party shall be responsible for its own acts and/or omissions and the acts and/or omissions of its
employees and agents under the terms of this Agreement, the costs associated with those acts
and/or omissions, and the defense of those acts and/or omissions. This Agreement does not, and is
not intended to, waive, impair, divest, delegate, or contravene any constitutional, statutory, and/or
other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, or immunity of the Parties.
19. Subject to the following Paragraph, this Agreement shall become effective at 12:01 A.M., January 1,
2010, and shall remain in effect continuously until it expires, without any further act or notice being
required by either party, at 11:59 P.M. on December 31, 2010. In addition, any party may terminate
this Agreement, prior to its December 31, 2009 expiration, upon written notification to all others at
least ninety (90) days prior to the proposed termination date, which date shall be clearly stated in the
written notice. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, all further O.C.S.O.'S obligations
to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under this Agreement shall end.
20. This Agreement, and any subsequent amendments, shall not become effective prior to the approval
by concurrent resolutions of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners and the MUNICIPALITY
Governing Body. The approval and terms of this Agreement shall be entered in the official minutes
and proceedings of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners and MUNICIPALITY Governing Body and
shall also be filed with the office of the Clerk for the COUNTY and the MUNICIPALITY. In addition,
this Agreement and any subsequent amendments shall be filed with the Secretary of State for the
State of Michigan by the O.C.S.O. and shall not become effective or implemented prior to its filing
with the Secretary of State.

SERVICES upon the expiration of this Agreement, it will notify the O.C.S.O., in writing, of this intent
no later than July 31, 2010. If the MUNICIPALITY, as above, notifies the O.C.S.O. of its intent to
enter into a new agreement, and the O.C.S.O. has a similar interest, the O.C.S.O. shall present the
MUNICIPALITY with a new proposed agreement for continued LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
on, or before, August 22, 2010. In no event shall this paragraph be interpreted to obligate the
O.C.S.O. or the MUNICIPALITY to continue any Agreement for any LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES beyond the expiration of this Agreement unless a new fully executed contract is executed
by the parties. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY terminates this Agreement or elects not to enter
into a subsequent agreement because it decides to establish its own police department, the
MUNICIPALITY agrees to consider for employment in its police department any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
who may be laid off by the O.C.S.O. as a result of this decision, but in no event shall the
MUNICIPALITY be obligated to hire any such SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
22. The parties shall send, by first class mail, all correspondence and written notices required or
permitted by this Agreement to each signatory to this Agreement, or any signatory successor in office,
to the addresses shown in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided for herein, all
correspondence or written notices shall be considered delivered to a party as of the date that such
notice is deposited with sufficient postage with the U.S. Postal Service.
23. This Agreement is neither intended, nor shall it be interpreted, to create, change, modify, supplement,
supersede, or otherwise affect or control, in any manner or at any time, the terms or conditions of
employment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with the O.C.S.O., any applicable O.C.S.O. employment
and/or union contract, and/or any O.C.S.O. rule(s), regulation(s), hours of work, shift assignment,
order(s), policy(ies), procedure(s), directive(s), ethical guideline(s), etc., which shall, solely and
exclusively, govern and control the employment relationship between the O.C.S.O. and any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and/or the conduct and actions of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. To illustrate, but
not otherwise limit, this Agreement does not and shall not be interpreted to limit, modify, control, or
otherwise affect, in any manner:

decide any and all such terms and conditions of employment and make any and all
employment decisions that affect, in any way, the employment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
with the O.C.S.D, subject only to its collective bargaining Agreements.
c. The SHERIFF'S sole and exclusive right, obligation, and responsibility to determine,
establish, modify, or implement any and all operational policies, procedures, orders, rules,
regulations, ethical guidelines, and/or any other judgment, policy or directive which, in any
way, governs or controls any activity of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, any necessary SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S training standards or proficiency(ies), any level or amount of required supervision,
any and all standards of performance, any sequence or manner of performance, and any
level(s) of experience, training, or education required for any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
performing any O.C.S.O. duty or obligation under the terms of this Agreement.
24. The SHERIFF and the COUNTY reserve to themselves any rights and obligations relating to the
provision of any and all police and/or governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, and this
Agreement does not, and is not intended to, diminish, delegate, divest, impair, or contravene any
constitutional, statutory, and/or other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, capacity, immunity,
or character of office of either the SHERIFF, the COUNTY, and/or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The
COUNTY and the SHERIFF further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is neither intended,
nor shall it be interpreted, so as to create, grant, modify, supersede, alter, or change, in any manner
or form, any right, privilege, benefit, or any other term or condition of employment, of any kind or
nature whatsoever, in, upon, or for any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S agent(s),
representative(s), union(s), or the successor(s) or assign(s) of any of them.
25. This Agreement is made and entered into in the State of Michigan and shall in all respects be
interpreted, enforced and governed under the laws of the State of Michigan. The language of all
parts of this Agreement shall in all cases be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and
not construed strictly for or against any party. As used in this Agreement, the singular or plural
number, the possessive or nonpossessive, shall be deemed to include the other whenever the
context so indicates or requires.
26. Absent an expressly written waiver, the failure of any party to pursue any right granted under this
Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of that right with regard to any existing or subsequent
breach or default under this Agreement. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, power or
privilege.
27. This Agreement shall be binding upon the COUNTY, the SHERIFF, and the MUNICIPALITY to the
extent permitted by law, upon their successors and assigns, and all persons acting by, through,
under, or in concert with any of them.
28. This Agreement, consisting of fifteen (15) pages, including SCHEDULE A, SCHEDULE B, and
SCHEDULE C (incorporated herein), sets forth the entire Agreement between the O.C.S.O. and the
MUNICIPALITY with regard to the O.C.S.O.'S provision of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES and/or
any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S services to the MUNICIPALITY, and fully supersedes any and all prior
agreements or understandings between them in any way related to the subject matter hereof. It is
further understood and agreed that the terms of this Agreement are contractual and are not mere
recitals and that there are no other agreements, understandings, or representations between the
O.C.S.O. and the MUNICIPALITY in any way related to the subject matter hereof, except as
expressly stated herein. This Agreement shall not be changed or supplemented orally. This
Agreement may be amended only by concurrent resolutions of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners
and the MUNICIPALITY Governing Body according to the procedures set forth in this Agreement.

SCHEDULE A - SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES CONTRACTED FOR AND TO BE ASSIGNED TO
MUNICIPALITY (hereafter "SCHEDULE A"), which is attached to, incorporated in and made part of
this Agreement, to perform any and all O.C.S.O. LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES contemplated in
this Agreement within the corporate limits of the MUNICIPALITY, including all private roads. LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, as defined above, shall not include O.C.S.O. police-related "Support
Services," such as Marine Division, Arson Investigation, Detective and Crime Lab services, which the
O.C.S.O. now provides on a County-wide basis, unless expressly stated to the contrary herein.
Nevertheless, such additional "Support Services" shall continue to be made available, at no additional
cost to the MUNICIPALITY, to the same extent that the O.C.S.O. continues to make such law
enforcement "Support Services" available, at no additional charge, to all other communities within
Oakland County.
a. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that, except as provided for under the terms of this
Agreement, the SHERIFF has only limited responsibility for LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES in the MUNICIPALITY and is not otherwise required, except as provided herein,

ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
b. The SHERIFF will make every reasonable effort to provide professional LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY, following generally accepted standards
for police protection, with the levels of staff provided for in SCHEDULE A.
c. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be
interpreted to include any warranty, promise or guaranty, either express or implied, or of any
kind or nature whatsoever, in favor of the MUNICIPALITY and/or any other person or

SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S law enforcement officer duty, as established under existing law, to the
general public.

for and assigned to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY, as provided
for in SCHEDULE A, shall work, during those hours for which the MUNICIPALITY is being charged,
only on MUNICIPALITY-related police matters. It is understood and agreed, however, that "Mutual
Aid" between communities may be provided to surrounding communities. "Mutual Aid," as used in the
previous sentence, means that any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to the
MUNICIPALITY may be absent from the MUNICIPALITY, at MUNICIPALITY expense, when
temporarily called to the aid of another community due to an emergency or other exceptional

a bi-weekly period by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY of the specified Rank(s), for each of the SHERIFF'S
DEPUTIES contracted for and assigned by the SHERIFF to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
978
a. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this subparagraph or in SCHEDULE A,
whenever any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to provide LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY is not present in the MUNICIPALITY
geographical area, due to any of the reasons described in subparagraphs 1 - 6 below, such
periods of time shall be included in and counted toward the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the bi-weekly period in which it occurred.
1. Travel time, on a daily basis, to or from the O.C.S.O. in Pontiac, Michigan, at the
beginning or end of any shift by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, if that SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S shift starts or ends in Pontiac; and
2. Attendance (not to exceed 100 hours per SHERIFF'S DEPUTY per calendar year) at
any O.C.S.O. authorized or required training session, function or meeting; and
3. Provision of any Mutual Aid as described and defined above; and
4. Appearance in any Court or at any meeting with any other law enforcement agency in
connection with any prosecution or Court appearance related to MUNICIPALITY law
enforcement activities; and
5. Performance of any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the MUNICIPALITY that
takes any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY outside the MUNICIPALITY'S geographical area;
and
6. Any approved period of annual leave, sick leave, holiday leave, personal leave, or
any other approved, paid leave (except any paid disciplinary leave and/or long-term
disability leave extending beyond a period of five (5) working days) granted to any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in accordance with applicable O.C.S.O. policies, procedures,
and/or employment contracts.
b. Subject to the SHERIFF'S right to consolidate the assigned shifts of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES
in order to concentrate law enforcement efforts to meet particular law enforcement priorities
and needs, the SHERIFF shall assign shifts to SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES contracted for under
this Agreement so as to provide the broadest possible coverage of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
c. All O.C.S.O. policies, procedures, employment contracts, etc., which may be applicable to
this Agreement shall be made available by the SHERIFF for inspection by the
MUNICIPALITY LIAISON at the O.C.S.O., by appointment, during normal business hours.
6. Subject to the SHERIFF'S sole discretion and judgment as to the county-wide prioritization of
resources and law enforcement needs, any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES, beyond the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during a bi-
weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, may be made available by the SHERIFF to the
MUNICIPALITY on an overtime basis. Except for overtime incurred due to late calls, report writing,
court appearances, emergencies, or holiday pay overtime, as shown in SCHEDULE B - HOLIDAY
PAY (hereafter "SCHEDULE B") which is attached to, incorporated in and made a part of this
Agreement, all other overtime charges incurred by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, which are charged to
the MUNICIPALITY, shall be approved, in advance, in writing, by the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. Any
such additional hours of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES provided shall
be invoiced to and paid by the MUNICIPALITY directly to the COUNTY at the Overtime Hourly Rates
shown in SCHEDULE C - HOURLY RATES (hereafter "SCHEDULE C") which is attached to,
incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement, and shall be in addition to any amounts otherwise
due and owing under the terms of this Agreement. If, however, in the unlikely event that the O.C.S.O.
is able to provide any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES as requested by the
MUNICIPALITY in addition to the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during
a bi-weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, without the O.C.S.O. actually incurring any
direct or indirect obligation to pay any overtime premium to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY as a result, the
Regular Hourly Rates shown in SCHEDULE C for those additional hours of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES for which the O.C.S.O. does not incur any overtime obligation shall be invoiced and paid
by the MUNICIPALITY as otherwise provided herein. All holiday pay charges to the MUNICIPALITY
shall be calculated and invoiced in accordance with SCHEDULE B.
7. The MUNICIPALITY shall not have the right under this Agreement to assign, delegate, or otherwise,
transfer, promise, commit, or lend any O.C.S.O.'S or SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S services, duties, or
obligations under this Agreement to any other public or private person, corporation, entity, or
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
979
organization of any kind. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY perceives the need for any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES beyond those SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' services
contracted for in SCHEDULE A, due to some unusual MUNICIPALITY circumstances that, in the
MUNICIPALITY'S judgment, may require additional LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, the
MUNICIPALITY shall address such concerns for additional LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the
SHERIFF as provided for in this Agreement (i.e., preceding Paragraph).
8. The MUNICIPALITY will pay the O.C.S.O. for all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES rendered pursuant to this Agreement at the bi-weekly rates shown in SCHEDULE A. The
MUNICIPALITY further agrees to reimburse the O.C.S.O. for any and all additional hours of work,
overtime, and/or holiday pay costs incurred by the O.C.S.O. in providing LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this Agreement. For every bi-weekly period
(corresponding to established O.C.S.O. payroll periods) during which any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
renders any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this
Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall prepare and send to the MUNICIPALITY an invoice that sets forth the
bi-weekly amount due for each SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES rendered
during that bi-weekly period, plus any charges for any additional hours of work, overtime, and/or
holiday pay, as provided for herein, during that bi-weekly billing period. All overtime charges are to be
itemized and designated for the reason incurred. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to pay to the COUNTY
the full amounts due on any such invoice within 30 days of the invoice date.
9. Should the MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts required
under this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that upon notice from the Oakland County
Treasurer to the Treasurer of the State of Michigan (or any other State of Michigan official authorized
to disburse funds to the MUNICIPALITY), the State of Michigan is authorized to withhold any funds
due the MUNICIPALITY from the State and assign those funds to partially or completely offset any
deficiency by the MUNCIPALITY to the County. Such funds shall be paid directly to the COUNTY.
Further, the MUNCIPALITY waives any claims against the State or COUNTY, or their respective
officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY. Furthermore, should the MUNICIPALITY fail for
any reason to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts required under this Agreement, the County
Treasurer shall be entitled to set-off and retain any amounts due the MUNICIPALITY from Delinquent
Tax Revolving Fund (“DTFR”) or any other source of funds due to the MUNCIPALITY in possession
of the County, to partially or completely offset any deficiency by the MUNICIPALITY, unless expressly
prohibited by law. Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment unless expressly prohibited by
law. Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY.
Further, the MUNICIPALITY waives any claims against the COUNTY, or its officials, for any such
amounts paid to the COUNTY. Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to limit in any way the
COUNTY’S right to pursue any other legal remedies against the MUNCIPALITY for the
reimbursement of amounts due the COUNTY under this Agreement. The remedies in this paragraph
are available to the COUNTY on an ongoing and successive basis, as the MUNICIPALITY becomes
delinquent in its payments.
10. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. agree and warrant that neither the O.C.S.O. nor any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise, shall be considered or claimed to be
an employee of the MUNICIPALITY and further agree that, at all times and for all purposes under the
terms of this Agreement, the O.C.S.O.'S legal status and relationship to the MUNICIPALITY shall be
that of an INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees that in any writing or
any other communication prepared by, for, or at the direction of the MUNICIPALITY, the
MUNICIPALITY shall neither state, suggest, nor imply that any employment status and/or
employment relationship exists between any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and the MUNICIPALITY.
11. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. agree and warrant that, at all times and for all purposes
relevant to this Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall remain the sole and exclusive employer of all
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES and that the O.C.S.O. shall remain solely and exclusively responsible for the
payment of all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' wages, compensation, overtime wages, expenses, fringe
benefits, pension or retirement benefits, travel expenses, mileage allowances, training expenses,
transportation costs, and/or other allowances or reimbursements of any kind, including, but not limited
to, workers' disability compensation, unemployment compensation, Social Security Act protection(s)
and benefits, any employment taxes, and/or any other statutory or contractual right or benefit based,
in any way, upon any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S status as an employee of the O.C.S.O. Except as

expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY shall not grant, give, allow, pay,
reimburse, compensate, or otherwise provide any wages, fringe benefits, privileges, gifts, equipment,
automobiles, personal property, supplies, benefits, entitlement, consideration (monetary or otherwise)
or any other thing of value, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any
individual SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. Any consideration, monetary or otherwise, paid directly to the
COUNTY and/or any personal property, automobiles, or any portable equipment (e.g., portable
telephones, portable computers, beepers, etc.) supplied, provided, and/or leased directly to the
COUNTY shall not, for any purpose of this Agreement, be interpreted as being provided by the
MUNICIPALITY, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any individual
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
12. The MUNICIPALITY may, in its discretion, in such locations and circumstances as it decides, provide
suitable office space, office equipment, all required utilities and related facilities (e.g., desks, chairs,
copying machines, fax machines, typewriters, permanently installed telephones, lockers, locker room
facilities, uniform changing areas, etc.) in MUNICIPALITY-owned or leased buildings to the O.C.S.O.
for use by SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, which shall be referred to as a
MUNICIPALITY "Sub-Station". Alternatively, the O.C.S.O. may provide or supplement any existing
desks, chairs, copying machines, fax machines, etc. located in the MUNICIPALITY Sub-Station with
O.C.S.O. personal property and equipment. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that the
MUNICIPALITY benefits in providing a Sub-Station for O.C.S.O. use by minimizing the time spent by
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY driving from the main O.C.S.O. Law
Enforcement Complex in Pontiac, Michigan, to the MUNICIPALITY to perform certain paper and desk
work and eliminating the "lost drive time" to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES within the
MUNICIPALITY due to the fact that SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES otherwise would begin and end their work
shift(s) at the main O.C.S.O. Law Enforcement Complex instead of within the MUNICIPALITY. The
MUNICIPALITY'S provision of any Sub-Station facilities and/or the use of any Sub-Station facilities by
the O.C.S.O. shall be by mutual agreement and consent of the parties. Under no circumstances shall
the MUNICIPALITY be obligated under the terms of this Agreement to provide any such Sub-Station
facilities, nor shall the O.C.S.O. be obligated to use any such Sub-Station facilities if offered. If the
MUNICIPALITY decides it will offer to provide the O.C.S.O. with Sub-Station facilities and the
O.C.S.O. agrees to use such Sub-Station facilities, the following terms and conditions shall apply:
a. Use of a Sub-Station shall be deemed to be a MUNICIPALITY grant of a revocable,
nonexclusive License over that portion of such MUNICIPALITY premises for use by the
O.C.S.O. and SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY.
b. The MUNICIPALITY will be responsible for maintenance of the premises, which includes: any
necessary repairs, improvements, installation and maintenance of all necessary security
locks, devices and fire safety devices and safety precautions, reconstruction, custodial
services, including rubbish and trash removal for the Facility, and also includes the provision
of utilities required to operate the facility for the purposes of this License, including, but not
limited to, heat, air conditioning, power, and water (but excluding any monthly telephone
charges for permanently installed Sub-Station telephone), at no cost to the O.C.S.O.
c. Use of the Sub-Station License shall end upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement
as provided herein. Any such Sub-Station License shall also be terminable, at any time and
for any reason, by the MUNICIPALITY, the COUNTY, or the SHERIFF.
d. SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES shall use due care in their use of any Sub-Station facilities and
equipment. The MUNICIPALITY agrees that the MUNICIPALITY and the MUNICIPALITY’s
Insurance Carrier will waive all rights of subrogation against OAKLAND COUNTY for any loss
or damage to the Sub-Station premises or property therein which is owned or insured by the
Municipality. The MUNICIPALITY will provide the COUNTY with a Certificate of insurance
that contains the following language: “The MUNICIPALITY and the Insurance Carrier named
herein agree to waive all rights of subrogation against Oakland County for any loss or
damage to premises or property owned by or insured by the MUNICIPALITY”. The
MUNICIPALITY will provide this Certificate of Insurance to the Oakland County Sheriff’s
Office, County Service Center, Building #38 East, 1200 N. Telegraph Road, Pontiac,
Michigan 48341-1044 prior to January 1, 2010. All Certificates of Insurance are subject to
approval by the Oakland County Office of Risk Management.

13. Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that this Agreement
does not, and is not intended to, transfer, delegate, or assign to the COUNTY, the SHERIFF, and/or
any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY any civil or legal responsibility, obligation, duty of care, or liability
associated with any governmental function delegated and/or entrusted to the MUNICIPALITY under
existing law.
14. Except as expressly provided for under the terms of this Agreement, no SHERIFF'S DEPUTY while
acting under the terms of this Agreement shall perform any services directly or otherwise be available
to perform any other work or assignments, and no SHERIFF'S DEPUTY shall be otherwise employed
or utilized, in any manner or capacity, by the MUNICIPALITY.
15. The MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may contact the O.C.S.O. LIAISON, as defined above, to request,
advise, or otherwise make the O.C.S.O. aware of particular law enforcement needs and services
within the MUNICIPALITY, or to provide other relevant information which has come to the attention of
the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. The MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may also bring to the SHERIFF'S
attention any concerns that the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may have regarding the assignment of any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY to the MUNICIPALITY. The SHERIFF shall provide the MUNICIPALITY
LIAISON an opportunity to interview and meet any command officers before they are assigned to the
MUNICIPALITY; however, the SHERIFF'S decision on the assignment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
shall be final. The O.C.S.O. LIAISON shall, only to the extent that any such communication would not
interfere in an ongoing criminal investigation or prosecution, keep the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON
reasonably informed regarding criminal and/or law enforcement activities within the MUNICIPALITY
and advise the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON, as soon as practicable, of any changes in any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to perform LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the
MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, however, neither the
MUNICIPALITY nor the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON shall otherwise provide, furnish or assign any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with any job instructions, job descriptions, job specifications, or job duties, or in
any manner attempt to control, supervise, train, or direct any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in the
performance of any O.C.S.O.'S duty or obligation under the terms of this Agreement.
16. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to promptly notify and/or provide the SHERIFF with any information that
may come to its knowledge or possession regarding any act contrary to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, or any other questionable act(s) or omission(s), or any allegation of same, by any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees that it shall promptly deliver to the SHERIFF
written notice and copies of any complaint(s), charge(s), or any other accusation(s) or allegation(s) of
wrongdoing, whether civil or criminal in nature, which the MUNICIPALITY becomes aware of
regarding any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to cooperate with the O.C.S.O. in
any investigation conducted by the SHERIFF into the character and/or fitness of any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY.
17. The O.C.S.O. shall be solely and exclusively responsible for providing SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES with all
necessary tools, automobiles, radios, communications equipment, firearms, and any and all other
equipment that the O.C.S.O., in its sole judgment, deems required or beneficial for the completion of
any O.C.S.O.'S duty under the terms of this Agreement. The O.C.S.O. shall also be solely and
exclusively responsible for any and all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' business expenses, licenses, taxes,
uniform or equipment costs, insurance(s), supplies, etc., except that any stationery, notices, forms,
MUNICIPALITY ordinance appearance tickets, etc., which are required to bear the name of the
MUNICIPALITY, shall be supplied to the O.C.S.O. by the MUNICIPALITY at the MUNICIPALITY'S
sole cost and expense. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY wants any special or additional personal
property or equipment (i.e., cellular telephones, beepers, personal items or equipment, portable
computers, automobiles, motorcycles, etc.) to be provided, at MUNICIPALITY expense or otherwise,
to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, the MUNICIPALITY shall direct such
requests to the O.C.S.O. which shall solely decide whether such personal property or special
equipment shall be provided. Any and all such additional personal property, portable or individual use
equipment or property, and/or any special equipment to be provided by the MUNICIPALITY shall be
provided directly and exclusively to the O.C.S.O., and then ONLY pursuant to a separate written
lease agreement between the MUNICIPALITY and the COUNTY. As intended by this Paragraph and
elsewhere in this Agreement, no personal property, supplies, or other equipment, nor the use thereof,
shall be provided or made available by the MUNICIPALITY directly to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY,
except through a written lease as provided for in this paragraph.

18. Each party shall be responsible for its own acts and/or omissions and the acts and/or omissions of its
employees and agents under the terms of this Agreement, the costs associated with those acts
and/or omissions, and the defense of those acts and/or omissions. This Agreement does not, and is
not intended to, waive, impair, divest, delegate, or contravene any constitutional, statutory, and/or
other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, or immunity of the Parties.
19. Subject to the following Paragraph, this Agreement shall become effective at 12:01 A.M., January 1,
2010, and shall remain in effect continuously until it expires, without any further act or notice being
required by either party, at 11:59 P.M. on December 31, 2010. In addition, any party may terminate
this Agreement, prior to its December 31, 2009 expiration, upon written notification to all others at
least ninety (90) days prior to the proposed termination date, which date shall be clearly stated in the
written notice. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, all further O.C.S.O.'S obligations
to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under this Agreement shall end.
20. This Agreement, and any subsequent amendments, shall not become effective prior to the approval
by concurrent resolutions of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners and the MUNICIPALITY
Governing Body. The approval and terms of this Agreement shall be entered in the official minutes
and proceedings of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners and MUNICIPALITY Governing Body and
shall also be filed with the office of the Clerk for the COUNTY and the MUNICIPALITY. In addition,
this Agreement and any subsequent amendments shall be filed with the Secretary of State for the
State of Michigan by the O.C.S.O. and shall not become effective or implemented prior to its filing
with the Secretary of State.
21. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY wishes to enter into a new agreement for LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES upon the expiration of this Agreement, it will notify the O.C.S.O., in writing, of this intent
no later than July 31, 2010. If the MUNICIPALITY, as above, notifies the O.C.S.O. of its intent to
enter into a new agreement, and the O.C.S.O. has a similar interest, the O.C.S.O. shall present the
MUNICIPALITY with a new proposed agreement for continued LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
on, or before, August 22, 2010. In no event shall this paragraph be interpreted to obligate the
O.C.S.O. or the MUNICIPALITY to continue any Agreement for any LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES beyond the expiration of this Agreement unless a new fully executed contract is executed
by the parties. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY terminates this Agreement or elects not to enter
into a subsequent agreement because it decides to establish its own police department, the
MUNICIPALITY agrees to consider for employment in its police department any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
who may be laid off by the O.C.S.O. as a result of this decision, but in no event shall the
MUNICIPALITY be obligated to hire any such SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
22. The parties shall send, by first class mail, all correspondence and written notices required or
permitted by this Agreement to each signatory to this Agreement, or any signatory successor in office,
to the addresses shown in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided for herein, all
correspondence or written notices shall be considered delivered to a party as of the date that such
notice is deposited with sufficient postage with the U.S. Postal Service.
23. This Agreement is neither intended, nor shall it be interpreted, to create, change, modify, supplement,
supersede, or otherwise affect or control, in any manner or at any time, the terms or conditions of
employment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with the O.C.S.O., any applicable O.C.S.O. employment
and/or union contract, and/or any O.C.S.O. rule(s), regulation(s), hours of work, shift assignment,
order(s), policy(ies), procedure(s), directive(s), ethical guideline(s), etc., which shall, solely and
exclusively, govern and control the employment relationship between the O.C.S.O. and any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and/or the conduct and actions of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. To illustrate, but
not otherwise limit, this Agreement does not and shall not be interpreted to limit, modify, control, or
otherwise affect, in any manner:
a. The complete and unilateral discretion of the SHERIFF to either continue or revoke the
deputization of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, or any other person who, in the SHERIFF'S sole
judgment, he does not believe is qualified or otherwise fit to be a SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
b. The O.C.S.O.'S sole and exclusive right, obligation, responsibility, and discretion to employ,
compensate, assign, reassign, transfer, promote, reclassify, discipline, demote, layoff,
furlough, discharge any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and/or pay any and all SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S

employment decisions that affect, in any way, the employment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
with the O.C.S.D, subject only to its collective bargaining Agreements.
c. The SHERIFF'S sole and exclusive right, obligation, and responsibility to determine,
establish, modify, or implement any and all operational policies, procedures, orders, rules,
regulations, ethical guidelines, and/or any other judgment, policy or directive which, in any
way, governs or controls any activity of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, any necessary SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S training standards or proficiency(ies), any level or amount of required supervision,
any and all standards of performance, any sequence or manner of performance, and any
level(s) of experience, training, or education required for any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
performing any O.C.S.O. duty or obligation under the terms of this Agreement.
24. The SHERIFF and the COUNTY reserve to themselves any rights and obligations relating to the
provision of any and all police and/or governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, and this
Agreement does not, and is not intended to, diminish, delegate, divest, impair, or contravene any
constitutional, statutory, and/or other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, capacity, immunity,
or character of office of either the SHERIFF, the COUNTY, and/or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The
COUNTY and the SHERIFF further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is neither intended,
nor shall it be interpreted, so as to create, grant, modify, supersede, alter, or change, in any manner
or form, any right, privilege, benefit, or any other term or condition of employment, of any kind or
nature whatsoever, in, upon, or for any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S agent(s),
representative(s), union(s), or the successor(s) or assign(s) of any of them.
25. This Agreement is made and entered into in the State of Michigan and shall in all respects be
interpreted, enforced and governed under the laws of the State of Michigan. The language of all
parts of this Agreement shall in all cases be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and
not construed strictly for or against any party. As used in this Agreement, the singular or plural
number, the possessive or nonpossessive, shall be deemed to include the other whenever the
context so indicates or requires.
26. Absent an expressly written waiver, the failure of any party to pursue any right granted under this
Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of that right with regard to any existing or subsequent
breach or default under this Agreement. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, power or
privilege.
27. This Agreement shall be binding upon the COUNTY, the SHERIFF, and the MUNICIPALITY to the
extent permitted by law, upon their successors and assigns, and all persons acting by, through,
under, or in concert with any of them.
28. This Agreement, consisting of fifteen (15) pages, including SCHEDULE A, SCHEDULE B, and
SCHEDULE C (incorporated herein), sets forth the entire Agreement between the O.C.S.O. and the
MUNICIPALITY with regard to the O.C.S.O.'S provision of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES and/or
any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S services to the MUNICIPALITY, and fully supersedes any and all prior
agreements or understandings between them in any way related to the subject matter hereof. It is
further understood and agreed that the terms of this Agreement are contractual and are not mere
recitals and that there are no other agreements, understandings, or representations between the
O.C.S.O. and the MUNICIPALITY in any way related to the subject matter hereof, except as
expressly stated herein. This Agreement shall not be changed or supplemented orally. This
Agreement may be amended only by concurrent resolutions of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners
and the MUNICIPALITY Governing Body according to the procedures set forth in this Agreement.

assigned to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under this
Agreement, who is designated by the SHERIFF to maintain all lines of communications with
the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON, as defined herein. The O.C.S.O. LIAISON will generally be the
commanding officer, if one, or a SHERIFF'S DEPUTY designated, in writing, by the SHERIFF
to perform this function.
f. "LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES" and for all purposes under this Agreement shall be
defined and interpreted as the prevention and detection of crime and the enforcement of the
general criminal laws of this state, as provided for by state statutes and MUNICIPALITY
ordinances, including the writing of tickets for MUNICIPALITY motor vehicle and traffic

SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES, or other circumstances involving public safety, a breach of peace,
civil infractions, accidents or accidental injuries, and any related governmental law
enforcement functions as authorized and/or mandated by law as limited by and to the extent
of the Number(s) and Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES contracted for by the
MUNICIPALITY in this Agreement. The governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
contemplated and to be provided under this Agreement are strictly limited to those
governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES authorized by law to be performed by the
O.C.S.O.
g. "SHERIFF'S DEPUTY" or "SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES" shall be defined to include any Captain,

other person or persons of any rank, classification, or title who, pursuant to state law, is a
sworn Deputy of the SHERIFF.
2. The SHERIFF shall assign SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES, in such Number(s) and Rank(s) as shown in
SCHEDULE A - SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES CONTRACTED FOR AND TO BE ASSIGNED TO
MUNICIPALITY (hereafter "SCHEDULE A"), which is attached to, incorporated in and made part of
this Agreement, to perform any and all O.C.S.O. LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES contemplated in
this Agreement within the corporate limits of the MUNICIPALITY, including all private roads. LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, as defined above, shall not include O.C.S.O. police-related "Support
Services," such as Marine Division, Arson Investigation, Detective and Crime Lab services, which the
O.C.S.O. now provides on a County-wide basis, unless expressly stated to the contrary herein.
Nevertheless, such additional "Support Services" shall continue to be made available, at no additional
cost to the MUNICIPALITY, to the same extent that the O.C.S.O. continues to make such law
enforcement "Support Services" available, at no additional charge, to all other communities within
Oakland County.
a. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that, except as provided for under the terms of this
Agreement, the SHERIFF has only limited responsibility for LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES in the MUNICIPALITY and is not otherwise required, except as provided herein,
to assign any specific Number(s) or Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES to provide LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
b. The SHERIFF will make every reasonable effort to provide professional LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY, following generally accepted standards
for police protection, with the levels of staff provided for in SCHEDULE A.
c. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be
interpreted to include any warranty, promise or guaranty, either express or implied, or of any
kind or nature whatsoever, in favor of the MUNICIPALITY and/or any other person or
MUNICIPALITY resident that the O.C.S.O.'S provision of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
under this Agreement will result in any specific reduction or prevention of criminal activity
within the MUNICIPALITY or any other performance-based outcome.
3. The O.C.S.O. and the MUNICIPALITY agree that the sole and exclusive purpose of this Agreement is
to provide governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES in and for the MUNICIPALITY. Except
as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that this
Agreement does not, and is not intended to, create, by implication or otherwise, any specific, direct or
indirect obligation, duty, promise, benefit, and/or special right to O.C.S.O.' s LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES in favor of or to the benefit of any particular person(s) beyond the O.C.S.O.'S and/or any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S law enforcement officer duty, as established under existing law, to the
general public.
4. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted
for and assigned to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY, as provided
for in SCHEDULE A, shall work, during those hours for which the MUNICIPALITY is being charged,
only on MUNICIPALITY-related police matters. It is understood and agreed, however, that "Mutual
Aid" between communities may be provided to surrounding communities. "Mutual Aid," as used in the
previous sentence, means that any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to the
MUNICIPALITY may be absent from the MUNICIPALITY, at MUNICIPALITY expense, when
temporarily called to the aid of another community due to an emergency or other exceptional
circumstance or because a SHERIFF'S DEPUTY possesses some special skill or qualification
temporarily needed in that other community.
5. Under the terms of this Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall assign to the MUNICIPALITY the Number(s)
and Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES shown in SCHEDULE A to perform all of the LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES contemplated under this Agreement. As used throughout this
Agreement, any reference to the Number(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES, as shown in SCHEDULE A,
shall be defined and quantified as EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during
a bi-weekly period by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY of the specified Rank(s), for each of the SHERIFF'S
DEPUTIES contracted for and assigned by the SHERIFF to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
a. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this subparagraph or in SCHEDULE A,
whenever any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to provide LAW

ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY is not present in the MUNICIPALITY
geographical area, due to any of the reasons described in subparagraphs 1 - 6 below, such
periods of time shall be included in and counted toward the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the bi-weekly period in which it occurred.
1. Travel time, on a daily basis, to or from the O.C.S.O. in Pontiac, Michigan, at the
beginning or end of any shift by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, if that SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S shift starts or ends in Pontiac; and
2. Attendance (not to exceed 100 hours per SHERIFF'S DEPUTY per calendar year) at
any O.C.S.O. authorized or required training session, function or meeting; and
3. Provision of any Mutual Aid as described and defined above; and
4. Appearance in any Court or at any meeting with any other law enforcement agency in
connection with any prosecution or Court appearance related to MUNICIPALITY law
enforcement activities; and
5. Performance of any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the MUNICIPALITY that
takes any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY outside the MUNICIPALITY'S geographical area;
and
6. Any approved period of annual leave, sick leave, holiday leave, personal leave, or
any other approved, paid leave (except any paid disciplinary leave and/or long-term
disability leave extending beyond a period of five (5) working days) granted to any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in accordance with applicable O.C.S.O. policies, procedures,
and/or employment contracts.
b. Subject to the SHERIFF'S right to consolidate the assigned shifts of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES
in order to concentrate law enforcement efforts to meet particular law enforcement priorities
and needs, the SHERIFF shall assign shifts to SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES contracted for under
this Agreement so as to provide the broadest possible coverage of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
c. All O.C.S.O. policies, procedures, employment contracts, etc., which may be applicable to
this Agreement shall be made available by the SHERIFF for inspection by the
MUNICIPALITY LIAISON at the O.C.S.O., by appointment, during normal business hours.
6. Subject to the SHERIFF'S sole discretion and judgment as to the county-wide prioritization of
resources and law enforcement needs, any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES, beyond the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during a bi-
weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, may be made available by the SHERIFF to the
MUNICIPALITY on an overtime basis. Except for overtime incurred due to late calls, report writing,
court appearances, emergencies, or holiday pay overtime, as shown in SCHEDULE B - HOLIDAY
PAY (hereafter "SCHEDULE B") which is attached to, incorporated in and made a part of this
Agreement, all other overtime charges incurred by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, which are charged to
the MUNICIPALITY, shall be approved, in advance, in writing, by the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. Any
such additional hours of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES provided shall
be invoiced to and paid by the MUNICIPALITY directly to the COUNTY at the Overtime Hourly Rates
shown in SCHEDULE C - HOURLY RATES (hereafter "SCHEDULE C") which is attached to,
incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement, and shall be in addition to any amounts otherwise
due and owing under the terms of this Agreement. If, however, in the unlikely event that the O.C.S.O.
is able to provide any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES as requested by the
MUNICIPALITY in addition to the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during
a bi-weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, without the O.C.S.O. actually incurring any
direct or indirect obligation to pay any overtime premium to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY as a result, the
Regular Hourly Rates shown in SCHEDULE C for those additional hours of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES for which the O.C.S.O. does not incur any overtime obligation shall be invoiced and paid
by the MUNICIPALITY as otherwise provided herein. All holiday pay charges to the MUNICIPALITY
shall be calculated and invoiced in accordance with SCHEDULE B.
7. The MUNICIPALITY shall not have the right under this Agreement to assign, delegate, or otherwise,
transfer, promise, commit, or lend any O.C.S.O.'S or SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S services, duties, or
obligations under this Agreement to any other public or private person, corporation, entity, or
organization of any kind. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY perceives the need for any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES beyond those SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' services
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
990
contracted for in SCHEDULE A, due to some unusual MUNICIPALITY circumstances that, in the
MUNICIPALITY'S judgment, may require additional LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, the
MUNICIPALITY shall address such concerns for additional LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the
SHERIFF as provided for in this Agreement (i.e., preceding Paragraph).
8. The MUNICIPALITY will pay the O.C.S.O. for all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES rendered pursuant to this Agreement at the bi-weekly rates shown in SCHEDULE A. The
MUNICIPALITY further agrees to reimburse the O.C.S.O. for any and all additional hours of work,
overtime, and/or holiday pay costs incurred by the O.C.S.O. in providing LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this Agreement. For every bi-weekly period
(corresponding to established O.C.S.O. payroll periods) during which any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
renders any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this
Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall prepare and send to the MUNICIPALITY an invoice that sets forth the
bi-weekly amount due for each SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES rendered
during that bi-weekly period, plus any charges for any additional hours of work, overtime, and/or
holiday pay, as provided for herein, during that bi-weekly billing period. All overtime charges are to be
itemized and designated for the reason incurred. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to pay to the COUNTY
the full amounts due on any such invoice within 30 days of the invoice date.
9. Should the MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts required
under this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that upon notice from the Oakland County
Treasurer to the Treasurer of the State of Michigan (or any other State of Michigan official authorized
to disburse funds to the MUNICIPALITY), the State of Michigan is authorized to withhold any funds
due the MUNICIPALITY from the State and assign those funds to partially or completely offset any
deficiency by the MUNCIPALITY to the County. Such funds shall be paid directly to the COUNTY.
Further, the MUNCIPALITY waives any claims against the State or COUNTY, or their respective
officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY. Furthermore, should the MUNICIPALITY fail for
any reason to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts required under this Agreement, the County
Treasurer shall be entitled to set-off and retain any amounts due the MUNICIPALITY from Delinquent
Tax Revolving Fund (“DTFR”) or any other source of funds due to the MUNCIPALITY in possession
of the County, to partially or completely offset any deficiency by the MUNICIPALITY, unless expressly
prohibited by law. Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment unless expressly prohibited by
law. Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY.
Further, the MUNICIPALITY waives any claims against the COUNTY, or its officials, for any such
amounts paid to the COUNTY. Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to limit in any way the
COUNTY’S right to pursue any other legal remedies against the MUNCIPALITY for the
reimbursement of amounts due the COUNTY under this Agreement. The remedies in this paragraph
are available to the COUNTY on an ongoing and successive basis, as the MUNICIPALITY becomes
delinquent in its payments.
10. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. agree and warrant that neither the O.C.S.O. nor any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise, shall be considered or claimed to be
an employee of the MUNICIPALITY and further agree that, at all times and for all purposes under the
terms of this Agreement, the O.C.S.O.'S legal status and relationship to the MUNICIPALITY shall be
that of an INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees that in any writing or
any other communication prepared by, for, or at the direction of the MUNICIPALITY, the
MUNICIPALITY shall neither state, suggest, nor imply that any employment status and/or
employment relationship exists between any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and the MUNICIPALITY.
11. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. agree and warrant that, at all times and for all purposes
relevant to this Agreement, the O.C.S.O. shall remain the sole and exclusive employer of all
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES and that the O.C.S.O. shall remain solely and exclusively responsible for the
payment of all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' wages, compensation, overtime wages, expenses, fringe
benefits, pension or retirement benefits, travel expenses, mileage allowances, training expenses,
transportation costs, and/or other allowances or reimbursements of any kind, including, but not limited
to, workers' disability compensation, unemployment compensation, Social Security Act protection(s)
and benefits, any employment taxes, and/or any other statutory or contractual right or benefit based,
in any way, upon any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S status as an employee of the O.C.S.O. Except as
expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY shall not grant, give, allow, pay,
reimburse, compensate, or otherwise provide any wages, fringe benefits, privileges, gifts, equipment,

991
automobiles, personal property, supplies, benefits, entitlement, consideration (monetary or otherwise)
or any other thing of value, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any
individual SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. Any consideration, monetary or otherwise, paid directly to the
COUNTY and/or any personal property, automobiles, or any portable equipment (e.g., portable
telephones, portable computers, beepers, etc.) supplied, provided, and/or leased directly to the
COUNTY shall not, for any purpose of this Agreement, be interpreted as being provided by the
MUNICIPALITY, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any individual
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
12. The MUNICIPALITY may, in its discretion, in such locations and circumstances as it decides, provide
suitable office space, office equipment, all required utilities and related facilities (e.g., desks, chairs,
copying machines, fax machines, typewriters, permanently installed telephones, lockers, locker room
facilities, uniform changing areas, etc.) in MUNICIPALITY-owned or leased buildings to the O.C.S.O.
for use by SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, which shall be referred to as a
MUNICIPALITY "Sub-Station". Alternatively, the O.C.S.O. may provide or supplement any existing
desks, chairs, copying machines, fax machines, etc. located in the MUNICIPALITY Sub-Station with
O.C.S.O. personal property and equipment. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that the
MUNICIPALITY benefits in providing a Sub-Station for O.C.S.O. use by minimizing the time spent by
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY driving from the main O.C.S.O. Law
Enforcement Complex in Pontiac, Michigan, to the MUNICIPALITY to perform certain paper and desk
work and eliminating the "lost drive time" to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES within the
MUNICIPALITY due to the fact that SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES otherwise would begin and end their work
shift(s) at the main O.C.S.O. Law Enforcement Complex instead of within the MUNICIPALITY. The
MUNICIPALITY'S provision of any Sub-Station facilities and/or the use of any Sub-Station facilities by
the O.C.S.O. shall be by mutual agreement and consent of the parties. Under no circumstances shall
the MUNICIPALITY be obligated under the terms of this Agreement to provide any such Sub-Station
facilities, nor shall the O.C.S.O. be obligated to use any such Sub-Station facilities if offered. If the
MUNICIPALITY decides it will offer to provide the O.C.S.O. with Sub-Station facilities and the
O.C.S.O. agrees to use such Sub-Station facilities, the following terms and conditions shall apply:
a. Use of a Sub-Station shall be deemed to be a MUNICIPALITY grant of a revocable,
nonexclusive License over that portion of such MUNICIPALITY premises for use by the
O.C.S.O. and SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY.
b. The MUNICIPALITY will be responsible for maintenance of the premises, which includes: any
necessary repairs, improvements, installation and maintenance of all necessary security
locks, devices and fire safety devices and safety precautions, reconstruction, custodial
services, including rubbish and trash removal for the Facility, and also includes the provision
of utilities required to operate the facility for the purposes of this License, including, but not
limited to, heat, air conditioning, power, and water (but excluding any monthly telephone
charges for permanently installed Sub-Station telephone), at no cost to the O.C.S.O.
c. Use of the Sub-Station License shall end upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement
as provided herein. Any such Sub-Station License shall also be terminable, at any time and
for any reason, by the MUNICIPALITY, the COUNTY, or the SHERIFF.
d. SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES shall use due care in their use of any Sub-Station facilities and
equipment. The MUNICIPALITY agrees that the MUNICIPALITY and the MUNICIPALITY’s
Insurance Carrier will waive all rights of subrogation against OAKLAND COUNTY for any loss
or damage to the Sub-Station premises or property therein which is owned or insured by the
Municipality. The MUNICIPALITY will provide the COUNTY with a Certificate of insurance
that contains the following language: “The MUNICIPALITY and the Insurance Carrier named
herein agree to waive all rights of subrogation against Oakland County for any loss or
damage to premises or property owned by or insured by the MUNICIPALITY”. The
MUNICIPALITY will provide this Certificate of Insurance to the Oakland County Sheriff’s
Office, County Service Center, Building #38 East, 1200 N. Telegraph Road, Pontiac,
Michigan 48341-1044 prior to January 1, 2010. All Certificates of Insurance are subject to
approval by the Oakland County Office of Risk Management.
13. Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that this Agreement
does not, and is not intended to, transfer, delegate, or assign to the COUNTY, the SHERIFF, and/or
any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY any civil or legal responsibility, obligation, duty of care, or liability

992
associated with any governmental function delegated and/or entrusted to the MUNICIPALITY under
existing law.
14. Except as expressly provided for under the terms of this Agreement, no SHERIFF'S DEPUTY while
acting under the terms of this Agreement shall perform any services directly or otherwise be available
to perform any other work or assignments, and no SHERIFF'S DEPUTY shall be otherwise employed
or utilized, in any manner or capacity, by the MUNICIPALITY.
15. The MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may contact the O.C.S.O. LIAISON, as defined above, to request,
advise, or otherwise make the O.C.S.O. aware of particular law enforcement needs and services
within the MUNICIPALITY, or to provide other relevant information which has come to the attention of
the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. The MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may also bring to the SHERIFF'S
attention any concerns that the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may have regarding the assignment of any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY to the MUNICIPALITY. The SHERIFF shall provide the MUNICIPALITY
LIAISON an opportunity to interview and meet any command officers before they are assigned to the
MUNICIPALITY; however, the SHERIFF'S decision on the assignment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
shall be final. The O.C.S.O. LIAISON shall, only to the extent that any such communication would not
interfere in an ongoing criminal investigation or prosecution, keep the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON
reasonably informed regarding criminal and/or law enforcement activities within the MUNICIPALITY
and advise the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON, as soon as practicable, of any changes in any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to perform LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the
MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, however, neither the
MUNICIPALITY nor the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON shall otherwise provide, furnish or assign any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with any job instructions, job descriptions, job specifications, or job duties, or in
any manner attempt to control, supervise, train, or direct any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in the
performance of any O.C.S.O.'S duty or obligation under the terms of this Agreement.
16. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to promptly notify and/or provide the SHERIFF with any information that
may come to its knowledge or possession regarding any act contrary to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, or any other questionable act(s) or omission(s), or any allegation of same, by any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees that it shall promptly deliver to the SHERIFF
written notice and copies of any complaint(s), charge(s), or any other accusation(s) or allegation(s) of
wrongdoing, whether civil or criminal in nature, which the MUNICIPALITY becomes aware of
regarding any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to cooperate with the O.C.S.O. in
any investigation conducted by the SHERIFF into the character and/or fitness of any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY.
17. The O.C.S.O. shall be solely and exclusively responsible for providing SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES with all
necessary tools, automobiles, radios, communications equipment, firearms, and any and all other
equipment that the O.C.S.O., in its sole judgment, deems required or beneficial for the completion of
any O.C.S.O.'S duty under the terms of this Agreement. The O.C.S.O. shall also be solely and
exclusively responsible for any and all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' business expenses, licenses, taxes,
uniform or equipment costs, insurance(s), supplies, etc., except that any stationery, notices, forms,
MUNICIPALITY ordinance appearance tickets, etc., which are required to bear the name of the
MUNICIPALITY, shall be supplied to the O.C.S.O. by the MUNICIPALITY at the MUNICIPALITY'S
sole cost and expense. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY wants any special or additional personal
property or equipment (i.e., cellular telephones, beepers, personal items or equipment, portable
computers, automobiles, motorcycles, etc.) to be provided, at MUNICIPALITY expense or otherwise,
to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, the MUNICIPALITY shall direct such
requests to the O.C.S.O. which shall solely decide whether such personal property or special
equipment shall be provided. Any and all such additional personal property, portable or individual use
equipment or property, and/or any special equipment to be provided by the MUNICIPALITY shall be
provided directly and exclusively to the O.C.S.O., and then ONLY pursuant to a separate written
lease agreement between the MUNICIPALITY and the COUNTY. As intended by this Paragraph and
elsewhere in this Agreement, no personal property, supplies, or other equipment, nor the use thereof,
shall be provided or made available by the MUNICIPALITY directly to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY,
except through a written lease as provided for in this paragraph.
18. Each party shall be responsible for its own acts and/or omissions and the acts and/or omissions of its
employees and agents under the terms of this Agreement, the costs associated with those acts
and/or omissions, and the defense of those acts and/or omissions. This Agreement does not, and is

993
not intended to, waive, impair, divest, delegate, or contravene any constitutional, statutory, and/or
other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, or immunity of the Parties.
19. Subject to the following Paragraph, this Agreement shall become effective at 12:01 A.M., January 1,
2010, and shall remain in effect continuously until it expires, without any further act or notice being
required by either party, at 11:59 P.M. on December 31, 2010. In addition, any party may terminate
this Agreement, prior to its December 31, 2009 expiration, upon written notification to all others at
least ninety (90) days prior to the proposed termination date, which date shall be clearly stated in the
written notice. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, all further O.C.S.O.'S obligations
to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under this Agreement shall end.
20. This Agreement, and any subsequent amendments, shall not become effective prior to the approval
by concurrent resolutions of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners and the MUNICIPALITY
Governing Body. The approval and terms of this Agreement shall be entered in the official minutes
and proceedings of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners and MUNICIPALITY Governing Body and
shall also be filed with the office of the Clerk for the COUNTY and the MUNICIPALITY. In addition,
this Agreement and any subsequent amendments shall be filed with the Secretary of State for the
State of Michigan by the O.C.S.O. and shall not become effective or implemented prior to its filing
with the Secretary of State.
21. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY wishes to enter into a new agreement for LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES upon the expiration of this Agreement, it will notify the O.C.S.O., in writing, of this intent
no later than July 31, 2010. If the MUNICIPALITY, as above, notifies the O.C.S.O. of its intent to
enter into a new agreement, and the O.C.S.O. has a similar interest, the O.C.S.O. shall present the
MUNICIPALITY with a new proposed agreement for continued LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
on, or before, August 22, 2010. In no event shall this paragraph be interpreted to obligate the
O.C.S.O. or the MUNICIPALITY to continue any Agreement for any LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES beyond the expiration of this Agreement unless a new fully executed contract is executed
by the parties. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY terminates this Agreement or elects not to enter
into a subsequent agreement because it decides to establish its own police department, the
MUNICIPALITY agrees to consider for employment in its police department any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
who may be laid off by the O.C.S.O. as a result of this decision, but in no event shall the
MUNICIPALITY be obligated to hire any such SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
22. The parties shall send, by first class mail, all correspondence and written notices required or
permitted by this Agreement to each signatory to this Agreement, or any signatory successor in office,
to the addresses shown in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided for herein, all
correspondence or written notices shall be considered delivered to a party as of the date that such
notice is deposited with sufficient postage with the U.S. Postal Service.
23. This Agreement is neither intended, nor shall it be interpreted, to create, change, modify, supplement,
supersede, or otherwise affect or control, in any manner or at any time, the terms or conditions of
employment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with the O.C.S.O., any applicable O.C.S.O. employment
and/or union contract, and/or any O.C.S.O. rule(s), regulation(s), hours of work, shift assignment,
order(s), policy(ies), procedure(s), directive(s), ethical guideline(s), etc., which shall, solely and
exclusively, govern and control the employment relationship between the O.C.S.O. and any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and/or the conduct and actions of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. To illustrate, but
not otherwise limit, this Agreement does not and shall not be interpreted to limit, modify, control, or
otherwise affect, in any manner:
a. The complete and unilateral discretion of the SHERIFF to either continue or revoke the
deputization of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, or any other person who, in the SHERIFF'S sole
judgment, he does not believe is qualified or otherwise fit to be a SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
b. The O.C.S.O.'S sole and exclusive right, obligation, responsibility, and discretion to employ,
compensate, assign, reassign, transfer, promote, reclassify, discipline, demote, layoff,
furlough, discharge any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and/or pay any and all SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S
wages, salaries, allowances, reimbursements, compensation, fringe benefits, or otherwise
decide any and all such terms and conditions of employment and make any and all
employment decisions that affect, in any way, the employment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
with the O.C.S.D, subject only to its collective bargaining Agreements.
c. The SHERIFF'S sole and exclusive right, obligation, and responsibility to determine,
establish, modify, or implement any and all operational policies, procedures, orders, rules,

regulations, ethical guidelines, and/or any other judgment, policy or directive which, in any
way, governs or controls any activity of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, any necessary SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S training standards or proficiency(ies), any level or amount of required supervision,
any and all standards of performance, any sequence or manner of performance, and any
level(s) of experience, training, or education required for any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
performing any O.C.S.O. duty or obligation under the terms of this Agreement.
24. The SHERIFF and the COUNTY reserve to themselves any rights and obligations relating to the
provision of any and all police and/or governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, and this
Agreement does not, and is not intended to, diminish, delegate, divest, impair, or contravene any
constitutional, statutory, and/or other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, capacity, immunity,
or character of office of either the SHERIFF, the COUNTY, and/or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The
COUNTY and the SHERIFF further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is neither intended,
nor shall it be interpreted, so as to create, grant, modify, supersede, alter, or change, in any manner
or form, any right, privilege, benefit, or any other term or condition of employment, of any kind or

BY: Commissioner Tim Greimel, District #11
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT FOR SB 750 AND HB 5213
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS drug-related crime remains a serious problem in the State of Michigan, including Oakland
County; and
WHEREAS existing law allows law enforcement agencies to seize real property, including buildings and
other structures, that is used by criminals in connection with drug-related crime; and
WHEREAS the forfeiture of real property used in connection with drug-related crime provides an
important disincentive to the selling and trafficking of drugs, while simultaneously providing an additional
resources to law enforcement agencies; and
WHEREAS under existing law, forfeiture proceedings can take a very long time, thereby lessening the
disincentive to the selling and trafficking of drugs and delaying the delivery of needed resources to law
enforcement agencies that combat the drug trade; and
WHEREAS state Senator John Pappageorge has introduced Senate Bill 750, and state Representative
Marie Donigan has introduced House Bill 5213; and
WHEREAS SB 750 and HB 5213 would allow seizing agencies to expedite forfeiture proceedings after
obtaining the approval of county prosecutors or the state attorney general on the basis that the forfeited
building/structure presents a health or safety risk; and
WHEREAS SB 750 and HB 5213 would continue to ensure that those who own or have another legal
interest in real property are still provided with adequate due process protections; and
WHEREAS SB 750 and HB 5213 would specify that an seizing agency could dispose of forfeited property
by: (a) preserving it for historic purposes; (b) converting it to a park or natural area; (c) demolishing it; or
(d) conveying it to the state, a local unit of government, or a non-profit entity to: (i) use as a facility in
which to provide substance abuse treatments and rehabilitation services, (ii) use as a facility in which to
provide drug resistance education or crime prevention education; (iii) use as a facility in which to provide
job training skills to members of the community; or (iv) use as a facility to provide housing to individuals
within the community who are displaced due to drug crime; and
WHEREAS SB 750 and HB 5213 would consequently strengthen the ability of law enforcement agencies
to enforce our state and nation’s drug laws and stymie the selling and trafficking of drugs.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
supports SB 750 and HB 5213, encourages the state Senate and state House of Representatives to pass
them, and encourages Governor Jennifer Granholm to sign such a bill.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners asks the Oakland
County Clerk to send copies of this resolution to all members of the Michigan Legislature and to Governor
Jennifer Granholm.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #09282
BY: Shelley Taub, District #16, Marcia Gershenson, District #17, Christine Long, District #7, David Potts,
District #20, David Woodward, District #18
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT FOR PROTECTING SECTION 20J FUNDS FOR
OAKLAND COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICTS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in Fiscal Year 1994-95, Michigan’s school finance system was revamped, and the “foundation
allowance” became the basic mechanism used to distribute state funding in school districts. A foundation
allowance is a per-pupil amount that is allocated to each school district and is used to pay for school
operations; and
WHEREAS 15 years ago when voters approved Proposal A, they were assured that those school districts
which had shown strong financial support for their schools would not be penalized – they would be “held
harmless”. The intention was to close the school funding gap; and
WHEREAS the State School Aid Act first included Section 20j in P.A. 119 of 1999, to take effect in
Fiscal Year 1999-2000. The hold harmless school districts have a foundation allowance above the State
Maximum Foundation Alliance and must levy local millages to make up the difference between their
maximum and foundation allowance; and
WHEREAS since 1994, approximately two-thirds of Michigan’s school districts have received a 125%
increase in funding, while “hold harmless” districts have been held to an increase of approximately 17%;
and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
1003
WHEREAS Section 1211(3) of the Revised School Code prohibits “hold-harmless” districts from collecting
more than an inflationary increase in their per-pupil State and local revenue from one year to the next
year. This means that if the dollar increase in the basic foundation allowance exceeds the inflation rate
when applied to a hold harmless district’s previous year foundation allowance (not when applied to the
basic foundation allowance itself), the district cannot by law levy the number of mills necessary to receive
the full dollar increase given in the basic foundation allowance; and
WHEREAS in October, Governor Granholm’s vetoed $52 million in 20j funding, leaving 40 school
districts, which adopted their annual budgets in June, abruptly without adequate funding; and
WHEREAS there are 40 “hold harmless” school districts in Michigan, and 12 are located in Oakland
County: Avondale School District, Birmingham City School District, Bloomfield Hills School District,
Clarenceville School District, Farmington Public School District, Lamphere Public Schools, Novi
Community Schools, School District City of Royal Oak, Southfield Public School District, Troy Public
School District, Walled Lake Consolidated School District and West Bloomfield School District; and
WHEREAS the Michigan House has recently passed a K-12 supplemental bill for Fiscal Year 2009-10
(HB 4860) which reduces the governor’s proration of $212 million by appropriating $184 federal stimulus
funds. This reflects reducing the cut from $127 per student to $10 by tapping these federal funds set
aside to cover the budget hole in 2010-11.
WHEREAS the supplemental amendments in House Bill 4860, restored half of the 20j school district
funding of $25.7 million (which represents only one-half of FY 2009-10 funding level); and
WHEREAS the $59 million in total funding for Section 20j, Section 20l, and Section 32d is from the
Michigan Future Fund – currently an unfunded revenue source; and
WHEREAS the continuous effort to cut 20j funding would be devastating to these school districts and will
have a detrimental impact on their ability to provide quality education.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby urges
Governor Granholm and the Michigan Legislature to preserve and protect the 20j funding for our local
schools.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk is requested to forward copies of this
adopted resolution to Governor Granholm, the Oakland County delegation to the Michigan Legislature,
the school districts in Oakland County, Oakland Schools, the Michigan Association of Counties and
Oakland Counties Lobbyists.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

REPORT (MISC. #09283)
BY: General Government Committee, Christine Long, Chairperson
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT FOR THE ALLOCATION OF STATE AND
FEDERAL TRANSPORTATION FUNDS BY POPULATION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The General Government Committee, having considered the above titled resolution on November 30,
2009, hereby recommends that the resolution be amended as follows:
1. Title: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT FOR THE ALLOCATION OF STATE AND
FEDERAL TRANSPORTATION FUNDS BY POPULATION
2. 6th WHEREAS: WHEREAS pursuant to section 4a (4) of Act 204 the RTCC articles of
incorporation set forth the allocation between the city and the authority representing the counties
of any grants applied for state and/or federal funds distributed by the RTCC; and
3. 8th WHEREAS: WHEREAS the continued application of the 65/35 allocation formula has resulted
in a net loss to SMART and its member counties of over $115 million since 1993 when compared
to the amount of grants funds SMART would have qualified for had its share been determined
using the state and federal statutes and regulations applicable at the time of distribution as if the
designated subrecipients or direct recipients were allowed to and did apply for federal and state
formula funds independently of each other and the RTCC; and
4. 12th WHEREAS: Insert “Senate Bill 988” following the words “House Bill 4608.”
5. NOW THEREFORE: Insert “SB 988” following the words “HB 4608.”
6. 1st BE IT FURTHER: Insert “SB 988” following the words “HB 4608.”
Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move the acceptance of the foregoing

GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #09283
BY: Shelley Taub, District #16
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT FOR THE ALLOCATION OF STATE AND
FEDERAL TRANSPORTATION FUNDS BY POPULATION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS pursuant to the Metropolitan Transportation Authorities Act of 1967, 1967 PA 204, as
amended, (Act 204), Oakland County is a member of the corporation known as the Regional Transit
Coordinating Council (RTCC) and is a member of the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional
Transportation (SMART); and
WHEREAS membership in the RTCC also includes the City of Detroit, Wayne County outside of the City
of Detroit, Macomb County and Monroe County; and
WHEREAS Act 204 established the RTCC as the “designated recipient” to apply for federal and state
transportation and operating assistance grants in support of public transportation on behalf of its
members; and
WHEREAS section 4a (5) of Act 204 requires the RTCC’s annual grant application to designate the
distribution of all capital and operating funds which shall be paid directly to the city with a population over
750,000 and the authority representing the counties; and
WHEREAS SMART is the “authority representing the member counties” described in section 4a (5) of Act
204 and the City of Detroit (DDOT) is the city with a population over 750,000 while the remaining RTCC
area serviced by SMART has a population of 3 million; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2009
1005
WHEREAS pursuant to section 4a (4) of Act 204 the RTCC articles of incorporation set forth the
allocation between the city and the authority representing the counties of any grants applied for by the
RTCC; and
WHEREAS the allocation between the city and the authority representing the counties established at the
inception of the RTCC in 1989 was 65% to the City of Detroit and 35% to SMART; and
WHEREAS the continued application of the 65/35 allocation formula has resulted in a net loss to SMART
and its member counties of over $115 million since 1993 when compared to the amount of grants SMART
would have qualified for had its share been determined using the state and federal statutes and
regulations applicable at the time of distribution as if the designated subrecipients or direct recipients
were allowed to and did apply for federal and state formula funds independently of each other and the
RTCC; and
WHEREAS Act 204 mandates that the RTCC act only by a unanimous vote of it membership entitled to
vote; and
WHEREAS the City’s representatives have been unwilling to modify the 65/35 allocation formulas that
has unfairly benefited the City by over $115 million since 1993, with some $73.8 million of the unfair
benefit having accrued between 2005 and 2009 alone; and
WHEREAS continuing such blatant inequity likely mortally injures both ongoing and future support for
public transportation and makes future development of a coordinated regional mass transportation
system in southeast Michigan unlikely; and
WHEREAS SMART is seeking passage of House Bill 4608, remedial legislation that would require the
RTCC’s designated distribution of federal and state formula funds, regardless of what entity is the
subrecipient or direct recipient of the funds, to be determined using the state and federal statutes and
regulations applicable at the time of distribution as if the designated subrecipients or direct recipients
were allowed to and did apply for federal and state formula funds independently of each other.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges the State
Legislature to pass, and asks the Governor to sign, HB 4608, giving the same immediate effect.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners directs its lobbyist to undertake all
reasonable efforts to facilitate the speedy adoption of HB 4608.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk is directed to forward copies of this resolution to their
lobbyist, the State Legislature, Governor’s Office, the SMART Board of Directors and the members of the
RTCC.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

OF SPEED LIMITS ON GRAVEL ROADS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Miscellaneous Resolution #06257 indicated that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners did not support legislation that would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code (MCL 257.628

roads, the “general speed limit” of 55 miles per hour applies; and

established 25 mile per hour speed limits on residential gravel roads. These communities are negatively
impacted when inappropriate increases in the speed limits on roadways are mandated; and
WHEREAS Senate Bill 977 proposes to restore lower speeds on gravel roads, unless local officials
request county road agencies for higher speed limits.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
supports the enactment of Senate Bill 977 and providing local units of government with the ability to
establish the most appropriate speed limits on local gravel roads and urges Governor Granholm to sign
this legislation allowing for its immediate implementation.

adopted resolution to Governor Jennifer Granholm, Senator Nancy Cassis, Senator Michael Bishop,
