IN RE: TWELVE TOWNS DRAIN BOND SALE
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the proposal of the Chase-Manhattan Bank. and Associates to purchase the bonds for the
Twelve Towns Relief Drains, in the amount of $33,675,000 was accepted by the Drainage Board for said
project at 4 meeting held on December 6, 1961, and
WHEREAS the said bid produced the lowest net interest cost to the Drainage District, viz:
3.82524%, and
WHEREAS all available bond market information prior to the date of sale indicated that the
said issue would be bid at a net interest rate of approximately 4.5%, and
WHEREAS the lower interest rate reflects a savings to the taxpayers of the Twelve Towns
Drainage District of approximately $2,000,000, and
WHEREAS in our opinion, the securing of the lower interest rate is due, in a large measure,
to the untiring and continued efforts on the part of Claude H. Stevens, Bond Counsel, and Louis H.
Schimmel, Financial Consultant, for the project, and is a direct reflection of the abilities of both,
each in his own specialized field of endeavor;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Oakland County, Michigan, that a
commendation expressing the sincere appreciation of this Board be extended to Messrs. Stevens and
Schimmel for their concerted efforts on behalf of the Twelve Towns Drainage District, which efforts
have resulted in the successful culmination of a much needed and long-delayed drainage project of such
vital interest to thousands of property owners in Southeastern Oakland County;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy - of this resolution be mailed to Claude H. Stevens and
Louis H. Schimmel, and a copy spread upon the minutes of the Board.

IN RE: BY-LAWS - MEMBERSHIP OF THE JUVENILE COMNJTTEL
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Rule X11, Section 1 of the By-Laws of the Board which provides for the various Standing
Committees of the Board, authorizes a Juvenile Committee of five (5) members. Due to the great volume
and importance of the work of the Committee, it is now desirable to increase the membership to at
least seven (7) members in order to give the Committee a broader representation on the Board.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Juvenile Committee, I move that the matter of increasing the
membership of this Committee be referred to the By-Laws Committee for study and report back to the Board.

IN RE: STUDY OF DOG LEGISLATION
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
YOLIT Legislative Committee received a recommendation from the Miscellaneous Committee dated
January 26, 1962, which recommends an over-all study of the dog laws and problems of the State. Such
a study can best be handled by an interim study committee of the State Legislature which, if appointed
this year, would make a thorough study and investigation of existing dog laws and then present a report
to the 1963 Session for consideration.
Your Committee recommends the approval of the suggestion made by the Miscellaneous Committee.
Mr. Chairman, I offer the following resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED that the Legislative Committee of the Board be authorized to present a request
to the Representatives of Oakland County asking for the appointment of an interim study committee to
review the dog Laws of the State and present a report with recommendation for new legislation at the
1963 Session,
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Legislative Committee, and with the concurrence of the
Miscellaneous Committee, I move the adoption_ of the foregoing resolution.

IN RE: WELFARE MATCHING FORMULA
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Your Legislative Committee has received a recommendation from the Supervisors Inter-County
Committee that the present 70/30 matching basis between the County and State for Direct Relief costs
be changed to a 50/50 basis and that the present 1-1/2 mill limitation on County expenditures (Computed
on the equalized valuation of the County) be amended to a 1 mill limitation. The Board has previously
approved an amendment to change the matching formula to 50/50 between the State and the County but has
not approved the 1 mill amendment.
Your Committee has had a study made by the Director of the County Social Welfare Department
as to the effect of the 1 adll amendment on Oakland County. A preliminary report has been made to
your Committee and the Director of the Social Welfare Department is continuing his study.
Your Committee recommends legislation to change the 70/30 matching formula to 50/50 but does
not recommend changing the 1-1/2 mill to 1 mill at the present time.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Legislative Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing
recommendation.

1N RE: REPORT ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to authorization from the Board (Resolution #3839), your Miscellaneous Committee
sponsored an Economic Development Conference here in the Supervisors Room on September 14, 1961. In
attendance were twelve community leaders from various areas of the County who joined with representatives
of the County Planning Commission, MSUO, the Press and the Michigan Employment Security Commission in an
exploration of steps which might be taken to establish a County-wide Economic Development Committee.
At the meeting reports on the work of the Kalamazoo County Manpower Committee and the Area
Re-development Act were considered and discussed, and a Steering Committee consisting of Mr. Frank
Webber, Mr. Fred Haggard and Mr. Doles Hamlin, was appointed to prepare a plan to be presented at a
second meeting.
The Steering Committee has net with representatives of the Press, the State Economic Develop-
ment Department, and has had further study of possible establishment of an Oakland County Economic
Development Committee studied by members of the County staff.
Your Committee has been advised by Mr. Max M. Horton, Director of the Michigan Employment
Security Commission, that his office this year will conduct a manpower survey of the Detroit Metro-
politan Area, in which Oakland County will be included. Similar surveys have been made for the
Counties of Monroe, Kalamazoo and Calhoun. These studies are made by the State with the cooperation
of local sponsoring Committees composed of community leaders', representatives from education, labor,
employers and civic groups in an effort to determine the extent of labor supply and demand in
occupations which are considered essential to the labor market in the County.
When the report for Oakland County is completed, it is anticipated that it will provide:
I. Basic data needed to evaluate the County's future manpower needs;
2. Stimulation for commnnity-wide interest in the prospective labor requirements in the
area: and
3. Encourage the development of training facilities and programs designed to fit the pattern
of local needs.
On December 14, 1960, your Committee outlined to the Board some of the problems facing the
County which will have about 125,000 persons who will reach the age of 15 years during the decade of
1960--1970 - which represents 104% increase ever the preceding 10 year period; and that by 1970 the
total labor force of the County will reach 273,200 according to preliminary studies made by the
Employment Security Commission.
Your Committee is certain that the Economic Survey of the County which the Board authorized
to be conducted by the Planning Commission will also be extremely helpful. in the plans to promote the
Economic and Industrial Development of the County. The jobs wh i ch will be vital to the welfare of the
citizens of Oakland County depend upon the success of this program.
Your Committee is continuing to study the role which County Government should play as the
possible motivating force in getting an effective Economic Development Program organized, and wishes
to express its appreciation to Mr. Fred Haggard, President of the Oakland County AFL-C10 Council,
Mn', Grant Howell of the Royal Oak Daily Tribune, and Mr, James Dickerson of the Pontiac Press for
their assistance and counsel. to this end.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Miscellaneous Committee, 1 move that the foregoing report be
received and placed on file and that copies thereof be forwarded by the County - Clerk to Mn'. Haggard,
Mr. Howell and Mr. Dickerson.

IN RE: CIVIL DEFENSE CONTROL CENTER
To the Oakland. County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
As reported to the Board at the Last meeting, your Ways and Means and Buildings and Grounds
Committees have continued the study of financing and construction of a Civil Defense Control Center.
Thus far no conclusions have been reached on the plans which the Civil Defense Committee has heretofore
discussed before the Board. A joint meeting of the three Committees, that is, the Ways and Means,
Buildings and Grounds and Civil Defense Committees, was held on December 11, 1961, and a unanimous
resolution was adopted by the three Committees to withhold decision on the permanent Control Center
until a more definite program as to construction and location of such Centers is promulgated by' the
Federal Government.
In order to provide the County with a Communications Center which would be operational in
the event of an emergency and also available for training purposes for Civil Defense employees and
volunteers, the Buildings and Grounds and Civil Defense Committees have recommended the adaptation of
a 3-room area in the basement of the former Contagious Hospital to an Emergency Operating Center.
It is estimated that the cost of the remodeling and construction of this basement area, as
well as the cost of providing communication equipment, will amount to approximately $7,500.00 and that
a portion of this cost may be matchable with the Federal Government.
It is recommended:
1. That the plan for this Control Center, as prepared by the Civil Defense Committee and as
recommended by the Buildings and Grounds Committee, be approved.
2. That the Board of Auditors be authorized to remodel this 3-room area in the basement of
the former Contagious Hospital for this purpose and purchase the necessary communications equipment.
3. That a sum not to exceed $7,500.00 be appropriated from the Contingent Fund to pay the
costs thereof.
4. That the County Civil Director be authorized to prepare and file the necessary applications
with the Federal Government for matching funds for the communications and other equipment.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Ways and Means Committee, and with the concurrence of the
Buildings and Grounds and Civil Defense Committees, I move the adoption of the foregoing recommendations.

IN RE: AUTHORIZE NEGOTIATIONS FOR OFFICE BUILDING AT COUNTY SERVICE CENTER
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
An inquiry under date of January 11, 1962, was received by the Chairman of the Board from
Arthur P. Fugue, Attorney, relative to negotiation of a lease on County-owned land for the construction
of a proposed lawyers office building. This inquiry - was referred to the Ways and Means and Buildings
and Grounds Committees for study.
The joint Committees have reviewed this inquiry and recommend that it be received and placed
on file for future reference.
The Committees recognize that it may be feasible and desirable to have an office building
located near the Court Tower. Such a facility would provide office space for the abstract companies,
the Legal. News, a bank, lawyers' offices as well as a restaurant and would of necessity have to be
financed by private capital. Further study should be made as to possible lease terms and suitable
location at the Service Center,
Mr. Chairman, T offer the following resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED that the matter of possible location of an office building at the County
Service Center be referred to the Ways and Means and Buildings and Grounds Committees for further
study and possible negotiations with any person, firm or corporation who may have an interest to lease
County-owned land and construct a facility for this purpose and that the joint Committees report to the
Board their findings and recommendations at a future date.

IN RE: REPORT OF AVIATION COMMITTEE
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
At the meeting of the Board last August, the report. on Air Transportation Requirements of the
Southeastern Michigan Metropolitan Area as prepared by Landrum h Brown of Cincinnati, Ohio, for the
Inter-County Committee was accepted "as the basis for further study" by the Aviation Committee. The
Landrum a Brown report, as you may recall, recommended. for Southeastern Michigan. "a second major
inter-area airline air service center... for development during 1970 to 1975... in the general_ area
of Pontiac." In accordance with the action of the Board, the Aviation Connittec has continued deliber-
ationson various means • to implement this report as it affects the County.
After the Board action in August, your Aviation Committee requested the County Planning
Commission to make a thorough study of alternate sites for location of such a facility within the
County, The possibility of expanding the Pontiac Airport was considered but found not to be feasible.
The Planning Commission selected as the best site the area surrounding the Alien. Airport which is
located in Orion Township. The entire site as shown on the site plan prepared by the County Planning
Commission includes an area of land in Pontiac and Orion Townships generally bounded by Giddings Road-
Brown Road-Silver Bell Road.
Your Committee and other County representatives have had informal discussions with repre-
sentatives of both the Michigan Department of Aeronautics and the Federal Aviation Agency which have
been of assistance in the selection of the proposed site shown on the drawing.
The purpose of the proposed airport, as stated in an application which your Committee has
heretofore filed with the Federal Aviation. Agency, is as follows:
"New public use airport to serve Oakland, Macomb and Northern Wayne Counties. To
be for Airline and General aviation_ use. Located and oriented so as to be capable
of becoming the second inter-area airline service center for the metropolitan area."
Supervisors Minutes 1.1ontinued. February 6, 1962
In order to implement the plan, the Aviation c. nail Sec invited Mr. James M. Robbins, President
of the Jim Robbins Company of Royal Oak and Troy, to licra.• a Special industrial Aviation Committee. Other
members of the Industrial Aviation Committee arc: Merrilt Hilt, Ford Motor Company Vice President; Peter
J. Monaghan of Monaghan, Monaghan and Crawme.r, Detroit Attorneys; Cornelius Ray III, General Manager of
Ray industries, Oxford; Milton K. Smith, President of MilsmAth Industries, lnc., Madison Heights: Wham
A. To President of Ternes Steel_ Company, and John kali, President of Permanent Mold Die Company, Ine.
Because of the problems involved in securing options on the properties needed to form the
nucleus for the future airport, it has been necessary for your Coumttce to avoid publicity and therefore
we have been unable to make advance reports to the members of the Board on our plans.
Since the plan is being presented to the Board for the first time this morning, we are asking
that the Chairman of the Board arrange for a meeting in the near future when there can be a further
discussion of the overall plan and when resolutions might be proposed to the Board to implement these
plans.
I am happy to report that several.. Committees of the Hoard have reviewed these plans with us
recently and we have received •very favorable response to the idea. The Ways and Means and Buildings
and Grounds Committees have also indicated their general approval of the plan to have the County take
steps now to provide our residents with adequate air transportation in the future,
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Aviation Committee, I move that the foregoing report be received
and placed on file and that this matter he Considered by the Board at the next meeting.

MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF AERONAUTICS
Lansing 6, Michigan February 5, 1902
Subject: Oakland County "A" Airport
Pontiac, Michigan
Notice of Landing Area Establishment
Ir. James E. Waedekin
District. Airport Engineer
Federal Aviation Agency
206 North Capitol Avenue
Lansing 7, Michigan
Dear Mr. Waedekin:
We at hereby transmitting three copies of form FAA-26r1 with attached exhibits. Four
additional copies of Exhibit "C" are furnished as work copies. We offer the following comments in
review of the subject landing area establishment:
1. Tire County of Oakland intends that this airport become the second inter-area airline
service center for the metropolitan area for both ai.rtine and general aviation use. The National
Airport Plan for 1901 recognizes the need for an additional major General Aviation airport in the
period 1902-1900 and the Landrum t? Brown report "Air Transportation Requirements of the Southeastern
Michigan Metropolitan Area" (SEMMA) dated November 1959 recommends that a second major inter-area
airline airport should be planned for development during the period 1970-1975 and should be located
in the general area of Pontiac. The development of this airport will be included in future Federal
Aid Airport Programs,
2. The County of Oakland has considered three sites and informally reviewed these with the
Michigan Department of Aeronautics and other interested parties as to site feasibility, other airports
in the area, land availability and ground transportation.
3. No runway configuration is proposed since it is understood that the most desirable airspace
utilization will determine the primary runway orientation. The County of Oakland requests FAA to
determine the magnetic bearings, with a limit of plus or minus degrees, of the most desirable runway
orientation. The runway orientation and length is not limited to the boundary as shown on Exhibit C.
Submission of the master plan will be made at a later date based on the recommended runway orientation.
4. The Detroit Edison Company is aware of this proposed airport development and will cooperate
in relocating the existing 120,000 volt eldctric steel tower lines running through the site N/S and FA.
N. The sit,e has excellent access by 1-75 (Chrysler Expressway), M-24. and Joslyn Road, The
Grand Trunk Railroad on the west will simplify fuel deliveries as well as attract industry in the
vicinity. The Michigan State Highway - Department report for needs to 19SO shows additional multi-lane
access controlled highways leading east from the Chrysler Expressway which will further assist access
to the site. These ground transportation items will, mean that the airport can serve Oakland County,
Macomb County and northern Wayne County,
6. Exhibit A locates the churches and schools to be considered from a noise abatement. factor.
The property in the area consists of SO acre (plus) farms with scattered individual plots which indicates
a low population density, therefore, reducing the noise abatement problem.
Based on the facts presented thus far, the :_chien. Department of Aeronautics found the site
feasible for airport construction and recommended tHat 'eis airspace study be conducted.
Please furnish the Department of Aeronautics with a. copy of the letter to the proponent advising
of your findings.
