the costs of the office are shared.
The next page shows the work of the agricultural agent. We would like you to notice at the
bottom of the page how Oakland ranks among the state's counties in farms and farm income,
The picture on the 4-H page shows our new 4-H Agent, Mrs. Ruth Montney. She is the first agent
to have part of her salary paid from county funds since 1933.
The Home Economics program is reported on the next page. Oakland County ranks first in the
state in the number of women enrolled in Home Economics groups.
On the page dealing with horticulture, the picture on the right is of the cover of a bulletin

With over 400 lakes in Oakland County, it is important to us to know how to control the water
weeds.
Activities in Marketing information for consumers are shown on the page with the market basket.

"If the sale is consummated by the purchaser, the purchaser agrees that the optienors shall
have the right and privilege, for their sole benefit, to use the airport facilities now
being operated as Allen Airport, and use and occupy the living quarters, in the same or
similar manner as said premises are presently being used and the business presently con-
ducted, for the calendar years 1962 and 1963; that the optionors shall pay no rentals but
shall pay all expenses of operation and property taxes for 1962, and hold purchasers free
from any liability thereto, but optionors shall be entitled to all income from such operation;
that during the year 1963, optienors shall not be required to pay real estate taxes; that if
no construction is to be commenced in the year 1964, or if purchasers determine any con-
struction contemplated will not interfere with the use as above outlined, optionors shall
have the right to extend such outlined use for the calendar year of 1964; provided, that
the purchasers should notify the optionors as to how they desire to use the property by
November 1, 1963, or may terminate this arrangement in 1964. by 60 days written notice.
It is understood and agreed that the management and operation of the airport facilities •
will be in accordance with generally accepted standards. And their relations to the
purchaser shall be that of an independent contractor. In the event the optionors employ
persons to assist them in the management and operation of the airport facilities or in
any of the ventures in which they have reserved the right to engage, such persons will be
the employees of the optionorso In no event will such persons be considered as having an
employee status with the purchaser, or be authorized to obligate the purchaser in any way
whatsoever, nor can this be construed to be a partnership or joint venture relationship.
The optionors agree, subject to the foregoing, that the use and operation of the facilities
reserved by them and their use of airport runways and facilities shall not unreasonably
interfere, obstruct or hinder the purchaser's use of same. The parties agree to indemnify
and hold harmless each other from any liability for damages to any person or property in,
on or about the premises and the airport facilities, from any cause whatsoever arising out
of the operatiOn of each parties business; and each party will procure and keep in effect
during the term hereof, public liability and property damage insurance in the sum of
$100,000 for damages resulting to 1 person, and $300,000 for damages resulting from 1
casualty, and $100,000 property damage insurance resulting from any 1 occurrence, Each
party shall deliver a certificate of insurance coverage to the other; optionors will
continue and carry and pay for such fire and extended coverage insurance as now carried,
with purchaser endorsed thereon. Parties agree to mutually cooperate and execute necessary
papers, in the procurement of and transfer of licenses, zoning permits, all other privilege
and use permits and approvals usual or pertinent to the operation of the said airfield,
known as Allen Airport, so there will be no discontinuance or break in the continuity of
operation of the said airfield, as such,"
The Ways ana Means Committee recommends the approval of these conditions. Therefore, Mr.
Chairman, I move that this Board accept the foregoing conditions for operation of the Allen Airport,

IN RE: APPROPRIATION - PLANS TO REMODEL WELFARE BUILDING
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Buildings and Grounds and Welfare Committees have recommended that an architect be
employed to prepare plans and specifications for temporary changes in the present Welfare Building,
this work to be done pursuant to recommendations made by Dr. L. L. Friedland, consultant, and is
estimated to cost $43,000.00. It will provide, on a, temporary basis, additional space for both
the County and State Welfare services and allow more time to be taken for additional studies toward
a permanent solution of the overall housing needs of the Welfare Department. It has been estimated
that the cost of providing such plans would not exceed $2500.
Mr. Chairman, I move the adoption of the following resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED that the Buildings and Grounds Committee employ an architect for a fee not
in excess of $2500 to prepare plans and specifications for temporary changes in the present Welfare
Building;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a sum not to exceed $2500 be appropriated from the contingent

IN RE: PLANS FOR AUDITORIUM ADDITION TO COUNTY BUILDING - AUTHORIZE BIDS
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Miscellaneous Resolution 3763, adopted by the Board on February 9, 1961, authorized the
employment of O'Dell, Hewlett & Luckenbach Associates, architects, to prepare plans for the Second
Unit addition to the County Building at the Service Center. The Second Unit includes the Administrative
Wing and the Auditorium.
The Board, on June 26, 1961, by the adoption of Miscellaneous Resolution 3819, approved plans
for the Administrative Wing and authorized your Committee to continue to work with the architects in
preparation of the plans for the Auditorium.
Your Committee has had several meetings with the architects relative to the final plans for
the Auditorium Addition and is now ready for the Board of Supervisors to review these plans and, if
they are approved, to authorize bids for this portion of the project.
At a meeting of your Committee with the architects held on February 9, 1962, the final plans
and specifications for the Auditorium Addition were reviewed and approved for acceptance by your
Committee. These plans and specifications consist of the following:
1. Architectural and structural plans containing 21 sheets of drawings.
2. Mechanical plans consisting of 7 sheets of drawings.
3. Electrical plans consisting of 5 sheets of drawings.
4. Construction specifications fully complete, including bid proposal pages.
Your Committee wishes to report to the Board that it may still be necessary to make some
slight revisions in the specifications as to the time when actual construction of the Auditorium might
begin. This may be necessary since the Auditorium will be situated within part of the area where the
contractor on the West Administrative Wing is presently storing some of his materials. Therefore, we
present the following resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED that said plans and specifications for the Auditorium Addition to the Oakland
County Courthouse be approved;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that bids for the Auditorium Addition be advertised and received pur-
suant to the By-Laws and that said bids be reported back to this Board with the joint recommendation of
the Board of Auditors, Ways and Means, Buildings and Grounds and Special County Building Committees at
a subsequent meeting of the Board.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Special County Building Committee, I move the adoption of
the foregoing resolution.

IN RE: MEMORIAL TO JUDGE FRANK L. DOTY
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Frank L. Doty was born February 10, 1r'0 in Rose Township. After serving his country in two
wars and his county as a lawyer, a ProsecutiTe a erney and for the past 32 years a Circuit Judge, he
departed this life January 11, 1962.
Frank Doty was not only an outstanding jurist but he was likewise a man born of the soil, who
helped to till it and plant it. It is not unusual to use the language of the farm in reference to
Judge Doty for his roots were in the farm and his later happiness sprang from it.
The simple truths that he learned as a boy on the farm endured in him and were ever an integral
part of his philosophy and his conduct.
His early legal service in the County was interrupted by a call from his country during the
Mexican War and again during World War I. After serving in the Air Force as a pilot in France, he
returned to the County to serve as Prosecuting Attorney and later as Circuit Judge. It was on the bench
that Frank L. Doty found his greatest challenge and greatest victory, Those who sit in judgment of
others find that it is not an easy task and it would not be an easy task for one who was naturally
endowed with compassion and understanding. We were indeed fortunate to have the judicial robes rest
on the shoulders of this man for, coupled with his compassion and his sharp, incisive mind, along with
the common sense which he inherited from his forefathers and his humaneness there was a strict code of
honor and integrity and, with all that, the sincerity and dignity that commands the respect and admiration
of all who entered the halls where justice was impartially rendered.
Judge Doty's greatest quality was the strength that comes from a sense of duty, a respect for
the individual and a belief in the Almighty.
We have no fears for him, and should the highest Court hear us, we proffer this heartfelt
testimony - he was "an upright judge - a learned judge - and he was a conscientious man."

of Merit, one of our members who served on this Board for seventeea years - Ferris B. Clark. And now he
is gone - a man - who in his quiet and friendly manner was love and respected by all who knew MM.
Ferris B. Clark, former Supervisor of Orion Townshi, oaearted this life on January 20, 1962
at the age of 59. His family was one of the original. pioneer famdaies in Orion Township in the early

until 1944 and then as township supervisor and a member of the Beard of Supervisors - with honor and
distinction from 1944 to 1961.
He leaves surviving his wife, Lucille A- Clark, a son, Wesley R. and a daughter, Mrs. C. A.
Dudley, all of Lake Orion and seven grandchildren.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of all of the members of the Board of Supervisors, I move that this

IN RE: FACILITIES FOR SOUTH OAKLAND HEALTH DEPARTMENT
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Ways and Means and Buildings and Grounds Committees have received a report from Bery-Klei
te Associates, architects, covering their survey made on the expansion of the South Oakland Health Center.
Two proposals were made:
1. Addition and alterations to existing Health Center facilities at Stephenson Highway
and Fourth Street, Royal Oak;
2. Construction of a new South Oakland Health Center Building;
The joint Committees recommend that Proposal 2 be given consideration and that the Board of
Auditors be requested to include in the 1963 budget an amount equal to 1/10 mill toward the County's
share for a new South Oakland Health Building. It is the intent of the Committee to continue such
appropriation for a two-year period if sufficient funds are available within the 1963 budget.
It is the further recommendation of the joint Committees that the Board of Auditors make
application to the state for allocation of funds under the Hill-Burton Act toward a 1/3 share of the
cost of such a new facility.
Mr. Chairman, I move that the foregoing recommendations be approved.
