GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE
Robert W. Page, Chairman
OAKLAND COUNTY EXECUTIVE REORGANIZATION PROPOSAL
DANIEL T. MURPHY MARCH 3, 1977
Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen.
Today I would like to present our proposal for the reorganization of the Executive Branch
of County government.
As many of you will recall, the existing, organizational structure, adopted by the Board
of Commissioners in December of 1974, created 10 new positions under the County Executive.
The concept underlying this structure was the unification of County government. Clear lines
of responsibility were drawn by the Board of Commissioners, running up through the division level to
the department level, to the County Executive and his immediate staff.
An attempt was made to clearly fix responsibility for government actions at each major level:
Division, Department, and County Executive Administration, To further clarify areas of responsibility,
as well as to improve communications and interactions, the Board of Commissioners reorganized its
committee structure so that it responded directly to the six major departments.
With adoption of this organization chart, the Board of Commissioners took an important step
toward making government more visible and responsive to the citizens it serves.
At the same time, the Board recognized the need to streamline government. The Board wanted
to avoid the sprawling, costly, difficult to manage bureaucracy which undermines so many other large
government structures.
To use just one example, this streamlining resulted in all major financial components being
grouped together under one department, the department of ManageMent and Budget.
With this one action, the Board eliminated much overlapping duplication of functions and
personnel. It forced all of our financial systems to work together in a logical, coordinated manner.
The result was greatly improved financial accountability and efficiency which enabled us
to introduce important cost-saving measures.
The expected cost of this reorganization varied, but most estimates began at $200,000.
The actual cost, as you know, was considerably less than half that amount - $84,000.
Furthermore, this $84,000 investment began to produce dividends immediately. In just one
area - overtime control - a $182,000 saving was produced before this organization chart was a year old.
Additional dividends have been returned in the form of new programs, better service, and
year-end surpluses, without any increase in tax rates. Oakland County government became, by any of-
jective measurement, the best managed major government in Michigan. Indeed, for a time in 1975 and
1976, we were one of the few major governments in the state not facing deficit spending, tax increases,
and layoff of large numbers of employees.
The Board of Commissioners can indeed be proud of its action as represented by the organi-
zational structure you see before you. At the same time, however, we should remember that, just as
with any successful business, thc time to make changes 8nd hmprovements is when you are ahead. If
we want to stay ahead of the competition; if welwant to continue to be a leader in the field of gov-
ernment management, we should make necessary changes and adjustments pow.
In addition to meeting that overriding goal, the reorganization proposal you are about to
view will, if enacted, produce these results:
It will produce an additional annual cost saving of more than $46,000 in salaries.
If will further streamline certain areas of government, producing greater efficiency which
ultimately will lead to greater savings.
It will broader and strengthen our ability to address the new realities of Oakland County
now, and in the future.

The first part of the reorganization has, of course, already been undertaken with Board
of Ci mmissioners approval of resolution 37763, eliminating the Department of Special Projects, and
, utinn /7783 and /7797, creating the position of Executive Officer - Administration, and changing
th- 'Itle of Deputy County Executive to Executive Officer - Operations'.
The net effect of these and other, less significant parts of the first phase of the re-
organization was a salary savings of $41,700.
The highlights of the remainder of the reorganization are the consolidation of two divisions;
the creation of two divisions; the abolition of one division; and the transfer of two divisions to
other departments,
In addition, we propose the transfer of separate accounting functions out of three divisions
and placing these functions in the Accounting Division.
We would also change the name of one existing department and one existing division.
The following pages will show you these changes in detail, department by department.
SUMMARY OF BOARD APPROVED ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES TO DATE
- MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION NUMBER 7763
- DELETED DEPARTMENT OF SPECIAL PROJECTS
- MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION NUMBER 7783
- CREATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICER - ADMINISTRATION POSITION
- MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION NUMBER 7797
- RETITLE DEPUTY COUNTY EXECUTIVE TO EXECUTIVE OFFICER - OPERATIONS.
The five divisions of the Human Services Department would remain intact except for the
transfer of accounting functions and personnel from the Medical Care Facility to the Accounting
Division, and elimination of the Assistant Administrator position.

In addition to being an improvement from the standpoint of eliminating a duplication of
accounting functions, transfer of medical care accounting also makes it easier to incorporate the
Medical Care Facility into the BASIC financial reporting system and improve third party reimburse-
ment and billing procedures.
With the Medical Care Director guided and assisted by the Director of Human Services, who
in turn reports to the Executive Officer - Operations, it becomes more feasible to eliminate the
position of Assistant Administrator.
More importantly, this change is in keeping with our philosophy of reducing reporting
ratios at every opportunity. Each department head is expected to be the top administrator of each
division and to take on a considerable portion of the administrative responsibility for each divi-
sion. Thus, each division is served by two top administrators - the department head and the
division head - and the continuation of a third top administrator in the form of an assistant director
is usually not necessary or desirable_

Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 7, 1977
Central Services presently contains 7 divisions. Two of these, Alimony Accounts and
Reimbursement, are financial operations which our operating experience has shown more properly be-
long in the organization structure under the Department of Management and Budget. A third, Property
Management properly belongs under the Department of Public Works.
On the other hand, Central Services contains a number of units which function as small
divisions but are listed as "Intergovernmental Funds." These are Garage, Laundry, Mailing, Print-
ing, Photocopy and Microfilm, and Radio Communications, The Director of Central Services acts as
director of each of these quasi-divisions. We propose in this case that reality be recognized and
that these six entities be grouped together in a new division entitled Support Services, The
Insurance and Safety function, which presently is shown in the administration section of Central
Services, would also be placed in the Division of Support Services.
Also, the separate accounting function now in Facilities and Operations would be trans-
ferred to the Accounting Division.

Commissioners Minutes Continued, April 7, 1977
The Division of Public Works, which would become the Division of Sewer, Water, and Solid
Waste, has a separate accounting function which we would shift to the Accounting Division. The
change would make easier the elimination of the position of Assistant Superintendent, Water and
Sewerage. Previously, it was felt that this position was needed to supervise the accounting posi-
tions in this division. With those positions transferred to Accounting, that supervisory need no
longer exists.
And, again, we are keeping reporting ratios as lean as possible.

Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 7, 1977
A new division, called the Advanced Program Group, would be created under the direction of
the Executive Officer - Administration.
The manager of this division would be the present Director of Planning and he would super-
vise a staff of two Associate Planners and an Assistant Planner transferred from the Planning
Division, as well as a new Typist I position.
This group will function much as research and development groups do in private industry.
It will examine proposals for new programs and policies with heavy emphasis on cost-benefit analysis
and make recommendations to the County Executive through the Executive Officer - Administration,
It will follow through on at least the early stages of planning and implementation of
proposals considered to have merit. For example, if this group had been in existence during the last
year, it would have been primarily responsible for the early stages of the tornado alert system,
OCART, land use planning positions, jail expansion, regional cooperation positions on such matters
as sewers, water, and highways, mass transit positions, County environmental protection policies
such as iakes area flooding and our effort to secure passage of the Wetlands Bill in the Legislature,
and a host of other matters.
The group is designed to have maximum flexibility to absorb temporary assignments of per-
sonnel from other areas to work on specific projects and to move into and work with divisions as
they encounter special, but temporary, needs that can presently be met only by the assignment of
overtime or the contracting for outside assistance.
Through the increased efficiency which results from this kind of flexibility, and cost
benefit analysis capability, we expect this group to produce tangible cost savings in the long run.

The present Department of Public Services, as shown on the left, contains 8 divisions,
including the Divisions of Emergency Medical Services and Disaster Control and Civil Defense.
We proposed combining those divisions into the Division of Emergency Medical Services and
Disaster Control, leaving this department with 7 divisions, as shown on the right.
The functions of these two divisions presently overlap, since virtually any disaster we
might confront involves the heed for emergency medical services. In both the ice storm and the
tornado last year, for example, the major role of the Division of Disaster Control was to coordinate
the activities of the Red Cross and other charitable medical organizations; various police and fire
services; and, although fortunately to a lesser extent in these two examples, the activities of
ambulance companies and hospitals.
Combining these two divisions eliminates the unnecessary cost and inefficiency of having
separate divisions providing essentially the same service and, more importantly, minimizes the
potentially very harmful confusion that might result in a disaster situation if these two divisions
were allowed to continue operating independently of one another.

And, as you can see here, the position of EMS Educational Program Coordinator would be
created. The salary of this position would be fully paid by Federal Funding after July, but would
involve a $4,000 cost until then.
Creation of this position has been strongly recommended by the more than 60 member Emer-
gency Medical Service Advisory Council, Federal and State Officials and our own staff.
Our present EMS Division is a one-person operation. An additional person is badly needed
to help carry out present responsibilities and, especially, to provide the training and education
necessary to upgrade emergency medical service personnel in the County. This upgrading of ambulance
and other emergency medical service personnel is crucial to the success of the EMS system,

and have th, i. i 1 for continued cost savings by allowing us to improve the cost benefit analysis
of proposed nrc,rams and policies, and by providing additional flexibility with certain kinds of work
loads that now result in overtime or contract services,
The ,,'1,158 saving shown for the grouping of accounting functions is also a minimum figure
since it doe - n-t. reflect the long-term benefits that will result from the elimination of duplication.
The can be said for the S11,002 savings resulting from the consolidation of Disaster
Cont ,o1 and EMe• .ency Medical Services although, in this case, the primary benefit will be to hold
Jon the costs of gearing up the EMS program.

The number of individuals reporting directly to the County Executive would be reduced from
six to four, with State and Federal Aid and Community and Minority Affairs reporting to the Executive
Officer - Administration. Both these functions are closely related to the "Research and Development"
capability contained in this area
And both, but particularly Community and Minority Affairs, are related to the other im-
portant function of this area, and that is its outreach function. An important part of the res-
ponsibility of the Executive Officer - Administration, is to develop more formal and effective
channels of communication and action with citizen groups, local units of government, and State and
Federal Agencies.
CoMmunity and Minority Affairs will be strengthened in this regard with the formation of
8 special it advisory council, We will have more details on the council's make-up and activities
within the next few weeks.
Under the Executive Officer - Operations, the chart reflects the change in the title of the
Department of Planning and Physical Development and the various division changes,
The first reorganization, in December of 1974, cost the County $84,000. This proposal
will save more than 546,000 initially, not counting the $41,700 already saved, and has the potential
to produce even greater savings in the years ahead.
The first reorganization established a structure with six major department heads, even
though Act 139 permits establishment of 12 department director positions. Compared to other major
units of government, we have a much leaner organization at the top. • Quite frankly, at times we have
been to lean, and the workload on inidvidual department directors has grown unrealistically heavy.
As some of you know from first hand experience, we have overcome this problem as it has
occurred, on a case by case basis, by using the flexibility inherent in the structure. I continue
to believe that is a better solution than expanding the department level staff, and it is certainly
less costly.
Executive level flexibility - the kind of flexibility which permits departments to assist
one another in times of stress and extreme workloads - is an important ingredient of the organi-
zation chart you have just seen. Because it is one of those in ingredients that cannot be
shown by lines and boxes on a chart, however, it can easily be lost sight of 1 ask that this com-
mittee take special pains to consider this crucial element as you review the reorganization proposal.
The other elements, as I mentioned at the outset, are:
An initial cost saving.
A streamlining that will lead to further cost savings.
A broadened ability to react to the new realities of Oakland County.
And, as the sum of these elements, the overall ability to continue Oakland County's de-
served reputation as the best managed major government in the State of Michigan.
Thank you.

FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT

IN RE: MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #7898 - EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES GRANT APPLICATION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Finance Committee has reviewed Miscellaneous Resolution #7898 and finds this grant
application is being resubmitted under the direction of the Department of Health, Education and
Welfare. It is necessary for Oakland County to submit its request as part of the seven county
Southeastern Michigan Region inasmuch as Federal guidelines call for only regional applicants.
The regional application must be submitted to the State no later than April 1, 1977.
The filing of this grant application is for the purpose of implementing phase one of the
Oakland County E.M.S. plan, such plan being prepared by the E.M.S. Planning Council. This app-
lication consists of establishment and initial operation of phase one of the Oakland County E.M.S.
plan.
The first year program will amount to S900,426, of which $450,123 or 503 will be federal
funds and 5450,123 or 50% will be local soft-march; no County funds will he required. The County
will have to supply office & equipment space for the E.M.S. project. Continued federal funding
will be available for expansion and improvement of the E.M.S. program through fiscal year 1980,
but will have to be applied for on a year to year basis with the federal match at 25% and the local
soft-match at 752 of total funding. Although it is anticipated no County cash will be necessary
for the four year period, there will be a need in the second year, to make a commitment by the County
for continued support of this program after federal funding has ceased.
The following schedule, using first year constant federal dollars, shows the anticipated
level of funding for this program.

ditional amount shall (upon adoption of an authorizing resolution therefor by the Board of Comm-
i -ioners) be issued to defray such increased or excess cost, to the extent that funds therefor
et ,- not available frcm other sources: Provided, however, that no such increase or excess shall be
and no such increased or additional county bonds shall be authorized to be issued, nor
• . II the county enter into any contract for acquisition or construction of the Water System or any
part thereof or incur any obligation for or pay any item of cost therefor, where the effect thereof
, in ro cause the total cost of the Water System to exceed by more than 57 its total estimated
, r hereinbefore stated, unless the Township Board shall have previously adopted a resolution
approving such increase or excess and agreeing that the same (or such part thereof as is not avail-
5 1 from other sources) shali be paid or its payment procured by the township in cash or defrayed
by the issuance of increased or additonal county bonds in anticipation of increased or additional
payments agreed to be made by the township to the county in the manner hereinbefore provided;
Provided, further, that the adoption of such resolution by the Township Board shall not be required
prior to or as a condition precedent to the issuance of additional bonds by the county, if the

to the plans as last approved prior to the time when the previous bonds were issued or contracted
to he aold.

y!,teris, cr to apply upon future payments due to the county, or to redeem bonds or to purchase the
sanii••.pin market, provided that such surplus shall be used to improve, enlarge or extend the
-ii • bly if authorized by the Board of Commissioners, Any such surplus may, for the purpose of
-proving, enlarging or extending the Systems, be supplemented by cash payments to be made by the
township, or such improvements, enlargements or extensions may be financed entirely from such cash
payments, where authorized by the Township Board. Where any such surplus is used to redeem or
purchase bonds, the same shall be cancelled, and the payments thereafter required to be made by the
township to the county shall be reduced so as to reflect the resulting saving of interest and the
payment required to be made in the calendar year of the stated maturity of said bonds shall be
reduced by the principal amount thereof.

County Treasurer is hereby authorized to notify the State Treasurer to deduct the amount of money
50 advanced by the county from any unrestricted moneys in the State Treasurer's possession belonging
to the township and to pay such amount to the county.
The foregoing shall not operate to limit the county's right to pursue any other legal
remedies for the reimbursement of moneys advanced on account of the default of the township.
II. The township, pursuant to the authorization of Section 5a of Act No 342, does hereby
pledge its full faith and credit for the prompt and timely payment of its obligations expressed
in this contract and shall each year levy a tax in an amount which, taking into consideration
estimated delinquencies in tax collections, will be sufficient to pay its obligations under this
contract becoming due before the time of the following year's tax collections: Provided, however,
that if at the time of making its annual tax levy, the township shall have on hand in cash other
funds which have been set aside and pledged or are otherwise available for the payment of such
contractual obligations falling due prior to the time of the next tax collection, then the annual
tax levy may be reduced by such amount. The Township Board shall each year, at least 90 days prior
to the final date provided by law for the making of the annual township tax levy, submit to the
County Agency a written statement setting forth the amount of its obligations to the county which

shall be made to the county in annual installments which shall be due and payable at least thirty days
prior to the day of the month specified in the county Bonds as the annual principal maturity date
thereof. Such an annual installment shall be so paid in each year, if any principal and/or non-
capitalized interest on said bonds falls due during the twelve-month period beginning 6r1 such
principal maturity date in said year, and the amount of each installment so due and payable s1:111 he
at least sufficient to pay all such principal and/or interest thus falling due and all bond erviaa
charges then due and payable, The County Agency shall, within thirty days after delivery of tho
county bonds to the purchaser, furnish the Township Treasurer with a complete schedule of th , prinoiP,11
and interest maturities thereon, and the County Agency Shall also, at least thirty days I- aach
payment is due to be made by the township, advise the Township Treasurer of the amount pa. b . to the
county on such date if the township fails to make any payment to the county when due, the same shall
be subject to a penalty of I/ thereof for each month or fraction thereof that such amount remains
unpaid after due. Failure of the County Agency to furnish the schedule or give the notice as above
required shall not excuse the township from the obligation to make payment when due. Such payments
ball be made by the township when due whether or not the system has then been completed or placed
in operation, In the event that additional county bonds shall be issued under the authority of this
c n--act, to defray a part of the cost of the Sewer System, the foregoing obligations shall apply to
, .rt of the cost and to said additional bonds insofar as appropriate thereto.
7, The Township may pay in advance any amount payable to the county pursuant Co this con-
tract and in that event shall be credited therefor on future-due amounts as may be agreed by the
parties hereto. The township may also pay in advance any one or more installments or any part thereof
(a) by surrendering to the county any of said county bonds of like principal amount with all future-
due coupons attached thereto, or (b) by paying to the county in cash the principal amount of any
county bonds which are subject to redemption prior to maturity, plus all interest thereon to the first
day upon which such bonds may be called for redemption, and plus all applicable call premiums and bond
Service charges, and in such event the County Agency shall call said bonds for redemption at the
earliest possible date. The installments or parts thereof so prepaid shall be deemed to be the in-
stallments or parts thereof falling due in the same calendar year as the maturity dates of the bonds
surrendered or called for redemption and bonds and coupons so surrendered or redeemed shall be can-
celled.
8. In the event that it shall become necessary to increase the estimated cost of the Sewer
System as hereinbefore stated, or if the actual cost of the Sewer System shall exceed the estimated
cost, whether as the result of variations or changes permitted to be made in the approved plans or
otherwise, then (without execution of any further contract or amendment of this contract) the Township
Board may, by resolution adopted within fifteen days after the receipt of construction bids, direct
that a portion of the system be deleted sufficient to reduce the total cost to an amount which shall
not tha total estimated cost as hereinbefore stated by more than 5%, provided that such deletion
shall r. t at •rially change the general scope, overall design, and purpose of the Sewer System, Or in
the ab...raf of the adoption of such a resolution the township shall pay or procure the payment of the
increas , or t. in cash, or county bonds in an increased or additional amount shall (upon adoption
of an authorizing resolution therefor by the Board of Commissioners) be issued to defray such increased
or excess cost, to the extent that funds therefor are not available from other sources: Provided,
however, that no such increase or excess shall be approved and no such increased or additional county
bonds shall he authorized to be issued, nor shall the county enter into any contract for acquisition
or construction of the Sewer System or any part thereof or incur any obligation for or pay any item
of cost therefor, where the effect thereof would be to cause the total cost of the Sewer System to
exceed by more than 5".' Its total estimated cost as hereinbefore stated, unless the Township Board shall
have previously adopted a resolution approving such increase or excess and agreeing that the same (or
such part thereof as is not available . from other sources) shall be paid or its payment procured by the
township in cash or be defrayed by the issuance of increased or additional county bonds in anticipation
of increased or additional payments agreed to be made by the township to the county in the manner here-
inbefore provided: Provided, further, that the adoption of such resolution by the Township Board shall
not be required prior to or as a condition precedent to the issuance of additional bonds by the county.
if the county has previously issued or contracted to sell bonds to pay all or part of the cost of the
project and the issuance of the additional bonds is necessary (as determined by the county) to pay such
increased, additional or excess costs as are essential to completion of the project according to the
plans as last approved prior to the time when the previous bonds were issued or contracted to be sold.
9. In the event that the actual cost of the Sewer System is less than the total estimated cost,
then any surplus available to the county from the sale of county bonds shall, at the option of the
Township Board, be used either to improve, enlarge or extend the Sewer System or the County Systems,
304
Ccmmissioners Minutes Continued. April 7, 1377
or to apply upon future payments due to the county, or to redeem bonds or to purchase the same on Ihe
open market, provided that such surplus shall be used to improve, enlarge or extend the Systems only
if authorized by the Board of Commissioners. Any such surplus may, for the purpose of improving,
enlarging or extending the Systems, be supplemented by cash payments to be made by the township, or
such improvements, enlargements or extensions may be financed entirely from such cash payments, where
authorized by the Township Board. Where any such surplus is used to redeem or purchase bonds, the
same shall be cancelled, and toe payments thereafter required to be made by the township to the
county shall be reduced so as to reflect the resulting saving of interest and the payment required
to be made in the calendar year of the stated maturity of said bonds shall be reduced by the prin-
cipal amount thereof.
10. Should the township fail for any reason to pay the county at the times specified, the
amounts herein required to be paid, the township does hereby authorize the State Treasurer or other
official charged with the disbursement of unrestricted state funds returnable to the township pur-
suant to the Michigan constitution to withhold sufficient funds to make up any default or deficiency
in funds. If the full faith and credit of the county is pledged for the prompt payment of the prin-
cipal of and interest on the bonds to be issued by the county and if the county is required to advance
any money by reason of such pledge on account of the delinquency ot the township, the County Treasurer
is hereby authorized to notify the State Treasurer to deduct the amount of money so advanced by the
county from any unrestricted moneys in the State Treasurer's possession belonging to the township
and to pay such amount to the county.
The foregoing shall not operate to limit the county's right to pursue any other legal remedies
for the reimbursement of moneys advanced on account of the default of the township.
11. The township pursuant to the authorization of Section 5a of Act No. 342, does hereby
pledge its full faith and credit for the prompt and timely payment of its obligations expressed in
this contract and shall each year levy a tax in an amount which, taking into consideration estimated
del;nquencies in tax collections, will be sufficient to pay its obligations under this contract
becoming due before the time of the following year's tax collections: Provided, however, that if
at the time of making its annual tax levy, the township shall have on hand in cash other funds which
have been set aside and pledged or are otherwise available for the payment of such contractual
obligations falling due prior to the time of the next tax collection, then the annual tax levy may
be reduced by such amount, The Township Board shall each year, at least 90 days prior to the final
date provided by law for the making of the annual township tax levy, submit to the County Agency a
written statement setting forth the amount of its obligations to the county which become due and pay-
able under this contract prior to the time of the next following year's tax collections the amount
of the funds which the township has or will have on hand or to its credit in the hands of the county
which have been set aside and pledged for payment of said obligations to the county, and the amount
of the township taxes next proposed to be levied for the purpose of raising money to meet such
obligations. The County Agency shall promptly review such statement and, if he finds that the pro-
posed township tax levy is insufficient, he shall so notify the Township Board, and the township
hereby covenants and agrees that it will thereupon increase its levy to such extent as may be
required by the County Agency,
12. No change in the jurisdiction over any territory in the township shall in any manner
impair the obligations of this contract or affect the obligations of the township hereunder. In
the event that all or any part of the territory of the township is incorporated as a new city or
village or is annexed to or becomes a part of the territory of another municipality, the munici-
pality into which such territory is incorporated or to which such territory is annexed shall assume
the proper proportionate share of the contractual obligations (including the pledge of full faith
and credit) of the township, which proper proportionate share shall be fixed and determined by the
County Agency and shall be binding upon all parties concerned unless, within sixty (60) days after
such incorporation or annexation becomes effective, the governing body of the municipality into
which such territory is incorporated or to which such territory is annexed and the Township Board
shall by mutual agreement and with the written approval of the County Agency fix and determine such
proper proportionate share. The County Agency shall, prior to making such determination, receive a
written recommendation as to the proper proportionate share from a committee composed of one
representative designated by the Township Board of the township, one designated by the governing
body of the new municipality or the municipality annexing such territory, and one independent
registered engineer appointed by the County Agency. Each governmental unit shall appoint its
representative within fifteen (15) days after being notified to do so by the County Agency and
within a like time the County Agency shall appoint the engineer third member. If any such
representative (other than the appointee of the County Agency) is not appointed within the time
above provided, then the County Agency may proceed without said recommendation. If the committee
shall not make the recommendation within forty-five (45) days after its appointment or with any
extension thereof by the County Agency, then the County Agency may proceed without such recommendation.
13. This contract is contingent upon the county issuing its negotiable bonds as herein pro-
vided, to defray such part of the total estimated cost of the Sewer System as is necessary to be
financed, which bonds shall be issued under the authorization provided in Section Sc, 56 and Sc of
said Act 342. Interest on the bonds may be capitalized and paid from the bond proceeds for a period
not exceeding the estimated construction period and one year thereafter. In the event that the
bonds are not issued within three years from the date of this contract, or if the township shall
for any reason, prior to the offering of the county bonds for public sale, advise the county in
writing that it desires to withdraw from the project and that it will re-assume its liability to
Aetna Life Insurance Company, then unless extended by mutual agreement it shall become null and

a reasonable time thereafter, then the County Agency shall have the right to perform the necessary
work and furnish the necessary materials, and reimbursement for any expense incurred by the county
shall be made by the township to the county within thirty (30) days after the expense has been
incurred.
(c) The township shall adopt and continue in existence and shall enforce an ordinance or
ordinances concerning the connections of premises in the township to the facilities and concerning the
use of and the payment of charges for the use of the facilities.
(d) The township shall make and collect From the individual users of the facilities such
charges for sewage disposal services as shall be sufficient to pay the cost of the operation and
maintenance of the foci) ties, the cost of sewage disposal charges required to be paid by the town-
ship, and to establish suitable reserves for operation and maintenance- Such charges may also in-
clude an amount determined by the township to be used to meet the obligations of the township to the
county under this contract and other contracts with the county for sewage disposal services and
facilities. The township shall enforce prompt payment of all such charges as the same shall become
due

of each year commencing January 1, 1979, and in addition to perform its covenants and agreements set
forth in this contract as a rental for said project.

disposal facilities except as herein expressly provided with respect to the acquisition of the Sewer
Systen or as otherwise provided by contract. The township shall have the authority and the
responsibility to provide such other facilities and shall have the right to expand the facilities of

new construction by the County Agency. It is further agreed that the Sewer System shall be used for
collection and conveyance of sanitary sewage only and that the township shall take all necessary action

5. Because one of the basic objectives of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act is to
enhance and increase the Nation's outdoor recreation resources, it is the intent of the parties hereto
that recipients of assistance will use moneys granted hereunder for the purpose of this program, and
that assistance granted from the Fund will result in a net increase, commensurate at least with the
Federal cost-share, in a participant's outdoor recreation. It is intended by both parties hereto
that assistance from the fund will be added to, rather than replace or be substituted for, State and
local outdoor recreation funds.
E. Project Termination
I. The State may unilaterally rescind this agreement at any time prior to the commencement

the suspension of all obligations of the United States hereunder, if, in the judgment of the Director,
such failure was due to no fault of the State. In such case, any amount required to settle at
minimum costs any irrevocable obligations properly incurred shall be eligible for assistance under
this agreement.
4. Because the benefit to be derived by the United States from the full compliance by the
State with the terms of this agreement is the preservation, protection, and the net increase in the
quantity and quality of public outdoor recreation facilities and resources which are available to the
people of the State and of the United States, and because such benefit exceeds to an immeasurable and
unascertainable extent the amount of money furnished by the United States by way of assistance under
the terms of this agreement, the State agrees that payment by the State to the United States of an
amount equal to the amount of assistance extended under this agreement by the United States would
be inadequate compensation to the United States for any breach by the State of this agreement. The
State further agrees, therefore, that the appropriate remedy in the event of a breach by the State of
this agreement shall be the specific performance of this agreement.
F, Conflict of Interests
1. No official or employee of the State who is authorized in his official capacity to
negotiate, make, accept, or approve, or to take part in such decisions regarding 8 contract or sub-
