REPORT
By Mr. Burley
IN RE: MISC. RES. 5/49 - AMENDING ACT #224, P.A. 1969
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr, Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen;
Your Committee reports that it has received and considered Miscellaneous Resolution #5749
in reference to Section #8 of Act 224 with reference to amending said section providing for a waiting
period of five days before allowing prospective new owners to select an animal at the County Animal
Shelter or for disposing of an animal.
It is the opinion of Civil Counsel that it would not be necessary to change the law, but
make this an administrative matter. The dog could be tagged for future ownership before the five days
were up but still be held the full Lime and this procedure would meet the provisions of the lam as it
stands.
Your Committee further reports that it concurs on changing the stated administrative
procedures and that Miscellaneous Resolution #5749 is herewith being reported back to this Board with
no action taken by the Health Committee.
The Health Committee, by Dale C. Burley, Chairman, moves the acceptance of the foregoing
report.

IN RE: ANNUAL REPORT OF PLANNING AND BUILDING COMMITTEE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr, Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
In accordance with Section 7 of Rule IV of the Bylaws, your Planning and Building Committee
has made its annual inspection of county owned buildings and grounds.
Your Committee is pleased to report that it found the county facilities satisfactorily
maintained, cleaned and repaired. The conditions speak well of the program carried out by the employees
and the staff of the Board of Auditors Facilities and Operations Divisions.
During this past year there have been many accomplishments in Lire Facilities' Capital
Improvement Program, Construction on the new Public Works Building was completed January 1971,
providing facilities for the Drain Commission, Department of Public Works and the Board of Auditors'
Facilities and Operations Department. Other projects completed this past year include the Sheriff's
Trusty Camp, the Utility Tunnel for the new Mental •Retardation Center and Phase III of the new
Underground Electrical Distribution System. In October of 1971 the first feeder of this new 13,200
volt electrical system was energized. Construction has progressed well on the new Law-Enforcement -
Jail Complex which is now scheduled for completion on the contract date of June 1972.
Construction of the new Mental Retardation Center began in the Fall of 1970 and occupancy is
expected in January 1972. Federal grants for this project now total $962,000. The Youth Activities
Center, at Springfield-Oaks Park in Davisburg, went under construction in May 1971 and will be completed
in December of this year. The Facilities and Operations Department has been providing services to your
Airport Committee and has managed their Airport Construction Programs. A Federal grant of $1,084,000
has been received for the Oakland-Pontiac Airport for the acquisition of land and construction of the
par 1.1 runway, extension of the terminal ramp and site clearance for the Instrument Landing System,
Master Plans have also been completed for all utility systems and roads at that Airport. Revised
Master Plans arc being prepared for Oakland-Orion Airport.
At the time of this Report linal plans and specifications are being prepared for Phase II of
Children's Village for which we have received a federal design grant of $88,000. This year your Board
authorized the purchase of the former Pontiac Administration Building and presently has under
consideration retaining an architect for the preparation of the necessary plans and specifications to
convert the building for Social Services uses.
While it would be impractical to note each of the major repair and alteration programs of
this pastyear, your Committee would like to report that it has been necessary to carry out a continuous
program of alterations to provide adequate functional space for the county departments to carry out
their governmental services. Surplus space in the existing buildings is nonexistant. The largest of
the major building repairs is presently being made to the exterior marble facade on the Courthouse
Complex.
316
Commissioners Minutes Continued. November 18, 1911
In an effort to reduce major facility breakdowns and repairs, an improved Preventive
Maintenance Program has been instituted which should hold down the frequency and cost of building
repairs over the future years.
The Service Center grounds have given a campus like environment for county government.
Landscaping has been completed at the Public Works Building and the new South Parking Lot at the Court-
house this year, and plans have been repared for the landscaping of the Law Enforcement-Jail Complex
and the Mental Retardation Center. Planting of these facilities will begin in the Spring of 1972.
Your Committee continues to see a large task ahead to provide governmental facilities for
our growing county. Today the county's buildings have 990,000 square feet of Floor space. In 1972 an
additional 309,600 square feet are being added in the Law Enforcement - Jail Complex, the Mental
Retardation Center and the new Social Services Building in Pontiac- By 1973 in accordance with the
Capital Improvement Program the construction of Children's Village Phase II, South Oakland Office
Building and the Health Center Addition will bring the total square footage of county facilities to
almost 1,500,000 square feet.
This year has been a busy year but your Committee expects the years ahead to be even busier
years in order to provide an adequate physical plant in which to carry out county services.
The Planning and Building Committee, by Charlie J. Harrison, Jr., moves that the foregoing
Report be received and placed on file.
