IN RE: WATER RESOURCES COMMISSIONER – REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL $33,000 LOAN FROM
THE LONG TERM REVOLVING FUND FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE BUSH LAKE LEVEL CONTROL
STRUCTURE AND APPROVAL OF THE ASSESSMENT ROLL
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XII-C of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed the above referenced
resolution and finds:
1. The resolution authorizes an additional $33,000 loan from the Long-Term Revolving Fund for the
Bush Lake Level Control Structure Project and requests authorization of the special assessment
roll.
2. The County Board of Commissioners previously approved $267,000 for the Bush Lake Level
Dam Project pursuant to Miscellaneous Resolution No. 10080, an additional $33,000 is
necessary to complete the project for a loan amount that shall not exceed $300,000.
3. Miscellaneous Resolution No. 02019 authorized that monies be made available for loans to local
units for amounts up to $150,000 and exception is being requested to authorize a loan to the
Bush Lake Special Assessment District in an amount not to exceed $300,000.
4. The full repayment of the loan, with applicable interest, will come from the 10 year special
assessment roll approved by the Water Resources Commissioner for this project.
5. None of the $267,000 loan amount previously authorized in Miscellaneous Resolution No. 10080
has been transferred to the project to date; therefore applicable interest charges will be based on
the updated total loan amount of $300,000.
6. Also, MR# 89276 states that an interest rate no less than the prevailing six-month Treasury Bill
rate should be charged. The six-month Treasury Bill rate is quite a bit lower than the average
interest rate from the Treasurer’s pooled investments and therefore the rate to be charged will be
the last published Treasurer’s pooled investment average monthly rate for the month of August
2010 is 1.443%.
7. Funding is currently available in the Long-Term Revolving Fund to issue a loan in the amount of
$300,000 for the Bush Lake Level Control Structure Project.
8. No budget amendment is required.

WHEREAS persistent unemployment, particularly in the construction industry, continues to burden our
families and communities; and
WHEREAS energy security and reliance on fossil fuels continue to threaten public health and the
environment; and
WHEREAS residential and commercial buildings consume nearly 40% of all electricity and are
responsible for 40% of U.S. annual carbon dioxide emissions; and
WHEREAS investing in cost-effective energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements to homes
and businesses can save energy, cut utility bills, create thousands of local jobs, reduce reliance on fossil
fuels, and dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions; and
WHEREAS the upfront cost and potentially long payback periods prevent property owners from making
otherwise cost-effective clean energy improvements; and
WHEREAS Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing programs are an innovative local
government solution to help property owners finance energy efficiency and renewable energy
improvements – such as energy efficient boilers, upgraded insulation, new windows, solar installations,
etc. – to their homes and businesses; and
WHEREAS a Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) bond is a bond where the proceeds are provided
to commercial and residential property owners to finance energy retrofits (efficiency measures and small
renewable energy systems) and who then repay the financing over 20 years via an annual assessment
on their property tax bill; and
WHEREAS PACE bonds can be issued by municipal financing districts or finance companies and the
proceeds can be typically used to retrofit both commercial and residential properties; and
WHEREAS twenty-two states have passed laws, and bills have passed both houses in Lansing, enabling
local governments to develop PACE programs; and
WHEREAS the White House and the U.S. Department of Energy strongly support PACE, have dedicated
$150 million to develop local PACE programs and issued guidelines to ensure that PACE programs meet
safety and soundness requirements and adequately protect both bond buyers and property owners; and

of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) on July 6th issued statements that immediately forced existing
PACE programs to halt operations and froze the development of dozens of PACE programs nationwide;
and.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, hereby urges
the State of Michigan’s congressional delegation to support legislation that clearly guarantees local
governments the right to assess special taxes for clean energy programs and restore the promise of

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OAKLAND COUNTY SUPPORT FOR HOLIDAY FOOD
DRIVE WITH GLEANERS COMMUNITY FOOD BANK
Commissioners Minutes Continued. October 6, 2010
1063
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan was founded in 1977, making
it one of the oldest and largest food banks in the country; and
WHEREAS Gleaners distributes donated and purchased food to more than 420 soup kitchens, food
pantries, homeless shelters, senior homes and other partner agencies that feed hungry people; and
WHEREAS the mission of the Gleaners Community Food Bank is to collaborate with its member
agencies, other area food banks and Feeding America organizations, and with broad community backing
and support, to provide surplus donated and low-cost food and personal care products to people in need
in southeastern Michigan; and
WHEREAS in so doing, Gleaners is committed to adopting best practices and cost-effective systems and
procedures to achieve the highest possible return on its human and financial resources; and
WHEREAS Gleaners fulfills its role with a sense of compassion and urgency, recognizing that in many
instances, it is the only source of emergency food for persons in need; and
WHEREAS more southeast Michigan children and families are hungry than ever before in Gleaners’
history; and
WHEREAS in a Comprehensive National assessment of Hunger, it was found that last year, Gleaners
distributed more than 32.8 million pounds of food to food pantries and feeding program. This represents a
43% increase from 2006. The number of people receiving emergency food assistance increased from
288,700 in 2006 to 456,640 in 2009 – a 58% increase; and
WHEREAS in 2005, the Oakland County Food Bank merged with Gleaners Community Food Bank; and
WHEREAS Gleaners serves an estimated 28,108 different people in Oakland County annually. Over
6,200 different people receive assistance in any given week in Oakland County alone; and
WHEREAS of the Oakland County households served by Gleaners: 62% live at or below poverty; 44%
include children; 15% are elderly persons; 39% have no car; and 58% are between the ages of 18 and
64; and
WHEREAS Gleaners reports that 23% of pantries, 12% of kitchens and 28% of shelters turned away
clients last year because of a lack of resources.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners recognizes that
as our economy continues to struggle, we are seeing more people fall into poverty, which translates to
more demand for emergency food. We are most fortunate to have organizations, such as Gleaners, which
provides a small but critical amount of the food people need.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners applauds the work of
Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan, their leadership, volunteers and supporters
and their diligent efforts to provide food to people in critical need.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners wishes to partner in
fighting hunger, particularly for Oakland County residents, by establishing a Holiday Food Drive in
partnership with Gleaners.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners requests our staff to
work in collaboration with the Oakland County Executive’s Administration and Gleaners Community Food
Bank to set up a Holiday Food Drive to serve the needs of our communities.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk is requested to forward copies of this
adopted resolution to the Oakland County Executive and Gleaners Community Food Bank of
Southeastern Michigan.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
