For every exchange or transfer of bonds, the County or the bond registrar and paying agent may
make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer, which sum or sums shall be paid by the person
requesting such exchange or transfer as a condition precedent to the exercise of the privilege of making such exchange or transfer.

The County of Oakland, State of Michigan (the "County"), acknowledges itself indebted to and for
value received hereby promises to pay to the Registered Owner identified above, or registered assigns, the Principal Amount or so much thereof as shall have been advanced to the County pursuant to a
Purchase Contract between the County and the Michigan Finance Authority (the "Authority") and a Supplemental Agreement by and among the County, the Authority and the State of Michigan acting
through the Department of Environmental Quality on the maturity dates and in the amounts set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, unless redeemed prior thereto as hereinafter provided, the final payment to be
made upon presentation and surrender of this bond at the office of the County Treasurer, County of Oakland, State of Michigan, the bond registrar and paying agent, or at such successor bond registrar and
paying agent as may be designated pursuant to the Resolution (as hereinafter defined), and to pay to the Registered Owner, as shown on the registration books at the close of business on the 15th day of the
calendar month preceding the month in which an interest payment is due, by check or draft drawn upon and mailed by the bond registrar and paying agent by first class mail postage prepaid to the Registered
Owner at the registered address, interest at the rate per annum specified above on such Principal Amount, to the extent advanced to the County pursuant to the Purchase Contract and the Supplemental
Agreement until the County's obligation with respect to the payment of such Principal Amount is discharged. Interest is payable on the first days of _______ and _________ in each year, commencing
on ________ 1, 201_. Principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the United States of America.
In the event of a default in the payment of principal or interest hereon when due, whether at maturity, by redemption or otherwise, the amount of such default shall bear interest (the "additional interest") at a
rate equal to the rate of interest that is two percent above the Authority's cost of providing funds (as determined by the Authority) to make payment on the bonds of the Authority issued to provide funds to
purchase this bond but in no event in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted by law. The additional interest shall continue to accrue until the Authority has been fully reimbursed for all costs
incurred by the Authority (as determined by the Authority) as a consequence of the County's default.
Such additional interest shall be payable on the interest payment date following demand of the
Authority. In the event that (for reasons other than the default in the payment of any municipal obligation purchased by the Authority) the investment of amounts in the reserve account established by the
Authority for the bonds of the Authority issued to provide funds to purchase this bond fails to provide sufficient available funds (together with any other funds that may be made available for such purpose) to
pay the interest on outstanding bonds of the Authority issued to fund such account, the County shall and

hereby agrees to pay on demand only the County's pro rata share (as determined by the Authority) of such deficiency as additional interest on this bond.
During the time funds are being drawn down by the County under this bond, the Authority periodically will provide the County a statement showing the amount of principal that has been advanced and the date
of each advance, which statement shall constitute prima facie evidence of the reported information; provided that no failure on the part of the Authority to provide such a statement or to reflect a
disbursement or the correct amount of a disbursement shall relieve the County of its obligation to repay the outstanding principal amount actually advanced, all accrued interest thereon, and any other amount
payable with respect thereto in accordance with the terms of this bond.
This bond is issued by the County under and pursuant to and in full conformity with the Constitution
and Statutes of Michigan (especially Act No. 34, Public Acts of 2001, as amended) and a bond authorizing resolution adopted by the Board of Commissioners of the County (the "Resolution") and an
order of the Water Resources Commissioner of the County, as County Agency, for the purpose of defraying all or part of the cost of acquiring, constructing, and installing sewage disposal system facilities
to improve the 8 Mile Pumping Station and Overflow Chamber and upgrade the 8 Mile Septage Facility to serve users of the Evergreen-Farmington Sewage Disposal System in the County of Oakland, Michigan
(the "System”).
The County has authorized the revenues of the System to be used to pay the principal of and interest on the bonds when due. In addition, the County has irrevocably pledged its full faith and credit for the
prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the bonds as the same become due. The principal of and interest on the bonds are payable as a first budget obligation of the County from its general funds.
The ability of the County to raise such funds is subject to applicable statutory and constitutional limitations on the taxing power of the County. The amount of taxes necessary to pay the principal of and interest on
the bonds, together with the taxes levied for the same year, shall not exceed the limit authorized by law.
This bond is transferable, as provided in the Resolution, only upon the books of the County kept for that purpose by the bond registrar and paying agent, upon the surrender of this bond together with a
written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the bond registrar and paying agent duly executed by the Registered Owner or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon the exchange or transfer of this bond a
new bond or bonds of any authorized denomination, in the same aggregate principal amount and of the same interest rate and maturity, shall be authenticated and delivered to the transferee in exchange
therefor as provided in the Resolution, and upon payment of the charges, if any, therein provided. Bonds so authenticated and delivered shall be in any denomination not exceeding the aggregate principal
amount for each maturity.
The bond registrar and paying agent shall not be required to transfer or exchange this bond or any portion of this bond that has been selected for redemption.
This bond is subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the County and with the prior written consent of and upon such terms as may be required by the Authority. That portion of the bond
called for redemption shall not bear interest after the date fixed for redemption, provided funds are on hand with the bond registrar and paying agent to redeem the same.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this bond, so long as the Authority is the owner of this bond, (a) this bond is payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at The Bank of New York Trust
Company, N.A., or at such other place as shall be designated in writing to the County by the Authority (the "Authority's Depository"); (b) the County agrees that it will deposit with the Authority's Depository
payments of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this bond in immediately available funds by 12:00 noon at least five business days prior to the date on which any such payment is due whether by
maturity, redemption or otherwise; in the event that the Authority's Depository has not received the County's deposit by 12:00 noon on the scheduled day, the County shall immediately pay to the Authority
as invoiced by the Authority an amount to recover the Authority's administrative costs and lost investment earnings attributable to that late payment; and (c) written notice of any redemption of this bond shall be

given by the County and received by the Authority's Depository at least 40 days prior to the date on which redemption is to be made.
It is hereby certified, recited and declared that all acts, conditions and things required to exist, happen and be performed precedent to and in the issuance of this bond, existed, have happened and have been
performed in due time, form and manner as required by law, and that the total indebtedness of the County, including this bond, does not exceed any constitutional or statutory limitation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the County of Oakland, State of Michigan, by its Board of Commissioners,
has caused this bond to be executed in its name by the manual or facsimile signatures of its Chairperson of the Board of Commissioners and County Clerk and its seal (or a facsimile thereof) to be impressed or
imprinted hereon. This bond shall not be valid unless the Certificate of Authentication has been manually executed by the bond registrar and paying agent or an authorized representative of the bond registrar and
paying agent.

11. CONSTRUCTION FUND. The remainder of the proceeds of the sale of the bonds shall be set aside in a construction fund and used solely to defray the cost of acquisition, construction and
installation of the Project. Any unexpended balance of the proceeds of the sale of the bonds remaining in the construction fund after completion of the Project shall be deposited in the debt
service fund established in section 9 hereof.
12. SECURITY. It is expected that the principal of and interest on the Bonds will be paid from revenues of the System, and such revenues are hereby authorized to be used for such purpose.
In addition, the full faith and credit of the County are pledged hereby to the payment of the principal and interest on the Bonds authorized by this Resolution. Each year the County shall
include in its budget as a first budget obligation an amount sufficient to pay such principal and interest as the same shall become due. The ability of the County to raise such funds is subject to
applicable constitutional and statutory limitations on the taxing power of the County. The amount of taxes necessary to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds, together with the taxes
levied for the same year, shall not exceed the limit authorized by law. To the extent that the revenues of the System are insufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds, the
proceeds of such taxes (both current and delinquent) shall be deposited as collected into the debt service fund established in section 9 hereof, and until the principal of and the interest on the
Bonds are paid in full, such proceeds shall be used only for payment of such principal and interest.
13. ESTIMATES OF PERIOD OF USEFULNESS AND COST. The estimated period of usefulness of
the Project is hereby determined to be not less than thirty (30) years and upwards, and the plans for an estimated cost of the Project in the amount of $2,800,000 are hereby approved and
adopted.
14. TAX COVENANT. The County covenants to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") necessary to assure that the interest on the bonds will
be and will remain excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes.
15. DEFEASANCE. In the event cash or direct obligations of the United States or obligations the
principal of and interest on which are guaranteed by the United States, or a combination thereof, the principal of and interest on which, without reinvestment, come due at times and in amounts
sufficient to pay, at maturity or irrevocable call for earlier optional redemption, the principal of and interest on the bonds, shall have been deposited in trust, this Resolution shall be defeased and
the owners of the bonds shall have no further rights under this Resolution except to receive payment of the principal of and interest on the bonds from the cash or securities deposited in trust
and the interest and gains thereon and to transfer and exchange bonds as provided herein.
16. REPLACEMENT OF BONDS. Upon receipt by the County Treasurer of proof of ownership of an unmatured bond, of satisfactory evidence that the bond has been lost, apparently destroyed or
wrongfully taken and of security or indemnity which complies with applicable law and is satisfactory to the County Treasurer, the County Treasurer may authorize the bond registrar and
paying agent to deliver a new executed bond to replace the bond lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken in compliance with applicable law. In the event an outstanding matured bond is
lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken, the County Treasurer may authorize the bond registrar and paying agent to pay the bond without presentation upon the receipt of the same
documentation required for the delivery of a replacement bond. The bond registrar and paying agent, for each new bond delivered or paid without presentation as provided above, shall require
the payment of expenses, including counsel fees, which may be incurred by the bond registrar and paying agent and the County in the premises. Any bond delivered pursuant the provisions of
this section in lieu of any bond lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken shall be of the same form and tenor and be secured in the same manner as the bond in substitution for which such
bond was delivered.

the terms and conditions to be set forth in a Purchase Contract (the "Purchase Contract") and a Supplemental Agreement (the "Supplemental Agreement"). The County Agency is authorized to
execute and deliver the Supplemental Agreement and the Purchase Contract in such forms as shall be approved by the County Agency, with such approval to be evidenced by the County
Agency's signature thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution, the bonds shall be initially sold to the Authority as one bond, numbered 1, in the full aggregate principal
amount of the bonds. The County Agency is authorized to execute one or more written orders (i) containing the determinations that the County Agency is authorized to make as provided in this

(SCAO) helped fund the JDC but was reduced each year for the past five years to a low of $10,000 in FY 2011, then increased to $40,000 for FY 2012; and
WHEREAS the Circuit Court continually seeks alternative sources of funding to help supplement and offset this reduction in SCAO grant funding and ensure continuation of the JDC; and

additional Program staff support; and WHEREAS these funds will be received as donations and deposited into the Circuit Court donation
account (#10100-3010101-121200-650301); and WHEREAS as part of this proposal the Court, with the agreement of the SCAO, is also requesting the

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS recent events of violence against Oakland County residents by parolees of the Michigan Department of Corrections have alarmed citizens and public officials; and
WHEREAS according to reports in the Oakland Press on November 10, 2011 a homeless couple, both convicted felons, beat and murdered a Royal Oak woman in order to steal the woman’s ATM card. The
man accused of the murder was sentenced to 5-30 for home invasion. He was paroled September 29, 2010 despite past encounters with the law for rape and arson; and
WHEREAS the same Oakland Press article reports that on November 18, 2011, also in the City of Royal Oak, a 54 year old Detroit man was arrested for attempting to break down the front door of a resident,
who was home at the time. The suspect had just gotten out of prison six days earlier. The suspect, who had a long record of burglaries and theft, had served the minimum of a 3-30 year sentence; and
WHEREAS the Oakland Press also reports that in the City of Ferndale a man out of prison only six days is alleged to have beaten and robbed a man in his Ferndale home on October 31, 2011. The suspect had
been sentenced to 8-20 years in 2002 and was paroled in October of 2011; and WHEREAS the Oakland County Prosecutor, along with several other prosecutors have had to sue the
Michigan Department of Corrections for information on potential parolees; and WHEREAS prosecutors statewide have gone to court to protest the pending parole of inmates considered
to be dangerous. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges the
Michigan Department of Corrections to review criteria used to determine eligibility for parole of violent and repeat offenders. We oppose the practice of releasing violent and repeat offender inmates near the
minimum end of their sentence. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk forward copies of this resolution to the
Governor, Director of the Michigan Department of Corrections, the Oakland County Legislative Body and all Michigan Boards of Commissioners.

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS American women of every race, class, and ethnic background have made historic contributions to the growth and strength of our Nation in countless recorded and unrecorded ways; and
WHEREAS American women have played and continue to play a critical economic, cultural, and social role in every sphere of the life of the Nation by constituting a significant portion of the labor force working
inside and outside of the home; and WHEREAS American women have played a unique role throughout the history of the Nation, the State of
Michigan and Oakland County by providing the majority of the volunteer labor force; and WHEREAS American women were particularly important in the establishment of early charitable,
philanthropic, and cultural institutions in our Nation; and WHEREAS American women of every race, class, and ethnic background served as early leaders in the
forefront of every major progressive social change movement; and WHEREAS American women have been leaders, not only in securing their own rights of suffrage and
equal opportunity, but also in the abolitionist movement, the emancipation movement, the industrial labor movement, the civil rights movement, and other movements, especially the peace movement, which
create a more fair and just society for all; and WHEREAS despite these contributions, the role of American women in history has been consistently
overlooked and undervalued, in the literature, teaching and study of American history; and WHEREAS as we prepare to write the next chapter of women's history, let us resolve to build on the
progress won by the trailblazers of the past. We must carry forward the work of the women who came before us and ensure our daughters have no limits on their dreams, no obstacles to their achievements,

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS on January 26, 2012, HB 5309, a bill to create a regional transit authority in Macomb, Oakland, Washtenaw, and Wayne counties was introduced in the State of Michigan’s House of
Representatives; and WHEREAS HB 5309 would empower the regional transit authority to establish a system of rolling rapid
transit (“RRT”) a/k/a bus rapid transit in all four counties; and WHEREAS section 7, subsection (4), of HB 5309 specifies four possible corridors for the initial plans of
the RRT system: (1) a Woodward corridor line from downtown Detroit to downtown Birmingham; (2) a Gratiot corridor line from downtown Detroit to downtown Mt. Clemens; (3) a northern cross-county line
between the city of Troy and the city of Mt. Clemens; and (4) a western cross-county line between downtown Detroit and Ann Arbor; and
WHEREAS the City of Pontiac is the only county seat that is not explicitly included by HB 5309 in the RRT system; and
WHEREAS the exclusion of the City of Pontiac from the language of HB 5309 makes it more likely that the City of Pontiac will not be initially included in our region’s RRT system and that Oakland County will
receive less of a return on its taxpayer dollars; and WHEREAS Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson supports the inclusion of the City of Pontiac in
the initial development of our region‘s RRT system. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
supports the inclusion of the City of Pontiac in the initial development of our region’s RRT system. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby supports
amending section 7, subsection (4), of HB 5309 as indicated in the attachment to this resolution. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners requests that the
