To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
ln accordance with Section 4 of Rule XII of the By-Laws which requires the Buildings and
Grounds Committee to annually inspect all county-owned buildings and grounds and file a report with
the Board, your Committee, in conjunction with members of the Board of Auditors, began its annual
inspection tour during the month of May and finished the first week in June.
In the course of the tour your Committee visited all of the various facilities and institutions
and grounds owned by the County 3:aiTuding the recently acquired site for the County Airport in Orion
Township.
In general, the COMP:A. reborts that it found conditions of the buildings and grounds to be
in good condition ;old state of jr. Mentioned in this report are items which the Committee feels
should be specifically brought ti the attention of the V'ard.
Children's Facili
The pro:nm or conversion of the former Contegious Hospital for classroom facilities which
was mentioned in the Committee's 1961. Annual Report has been completed. Eight modern classrooms are
205

now provided on the first and second floors of the former Contagious Hospital building.
The facilities at the Youth Home on Cooley. Lake Road are in very good condition and it is to
be noted that the basement area has been remodeled and is being used as a recreation center.
Conditions of the Children's Home and Cottages were found in good state of repair with some
crowding conditions existent in the Children.'a Rome, Your Committee is presently considering the
referral of the location of possible sites •• ..uture juvenile facilities and understands that the
Juvenile Committee is considering, n''. .1 funne. planning as well as the problems of immediate need of
juvenile facilities.
Child Guidance Clinic
The large home at 113 Franklin Boulevard owned by the County and used as the location of
the Clinin in Pontiac generally is in good condition- Your Committee has requested that the Maintenance
Department prepare plans to close off the existing drive located at the north side of the lot since it
is too narrow, and that plans for improving the southern entranceway be made and provide a new rear
parking lot area The Committee has also requested the Maintenance Department to trim the trees on
this property.
Medical Care Fa, ility
:aaking lot area is inadequate and lights should be installed in and around the parking
lot for the ina. 'IL of employees who are leaving the Facility at late hours. The Committee found that
the Medical Care Facility is presently overloaded according to standards set by the State and that more
space is needed for the physical therapy program as well as for storage of various supplies. The report
which your Committee recommended for a long range program in the 1961 Annual. Report has not as yet been
received from the Welfare Committee.
Tuberculosis Sanatorium
This building is in excellent conaation and the heating plant and boilers have been fully
repaired and there have been no ad.•:;:nal. •-obli!ins arising in respect to the heating plant during the
past year. Your Committee inspeel, tle Tinanculosis Sanatorium on the same day that the Tuberculosis
Sanatorium Committee was in sess ..fta with nrarthers of the Board of Trustees. This report therefore is
made as a joint report of the two Committees with respect to the present condition of the Tuberculosis
Sanatorium.
Welfare Building
The Committee made no overall_ of this facility this year since plans have been
approved by the Beard to remodel the .:alfala 3nilding and the space used by the County Social Welfare
Board as well as the State Bureau of a, a.inl Aid. The contracts for the renovation of this building
are to be considered by the Board tad,. , ans for this work have been prepared by Hery--Klei te
Associates, architects, for the Counta . and have been reviewed by the Social. Welfare Board as well as
representatives of the State Bureau of Social Aid. When remodeled, this building should handle the
space requirements for these two services for the next 3 to 5 years. It is recommended that the
Welfare Committee, in conjunction with the County and State welfare officials, undertake a study of
the long range facilities needed by these departments.
Royal Oak Office Building
This facility. has been recently redecorated and is in generally very good condition.
Royal Oak Market
The building is well maintained, is in generally good condition, new fluorescent lights have
been installed recently and additional lands as authorized by the Board of Supervisors have been acquired.
Plans are under way to provide expanded parking facilities. This facility is owned jointly, with the
City of Royal Oak having a 40% and the County a 60% interest in the land and improvements.
Royal Oak Health Center
As reported to members of the Board in the last two Annual Reports of the Committee, these
facilities are crowded and all available space including the public auditorium has been converted to
office space. The building is well maintained and the Committee has requested that no major changes
be made in the structure due to the plans now under way to provide a new health facility for South
Oakland County.
Public Service Building
This facility located. at 550 S. Telegraph Road houses the offices of the Drain, D.P. W. and
Planning Departments. In accordance with a request of the D.P.W.Board, plans for expansion of
facilities for the Drain and P.O.W. Departments are presently being prepared and will be considered
by the Buildings and Grounds Committee.
Laundry
The County Laundry, which is located in the building housing the Central. Heating Plant at the
Service Center, is presently- operating at full capacity and your Committee noted the crowded conditions
and lack of space for any increase in, operation of this department. No recommendation as to how this
shortage of room is to be alleviated•is made at this time. A study will be made during the ensuing year.

this site by the County- 4-R Clubs has been completed by the Planning Commission and the Board did, by
Resolution 3912, allocate the :c,=;e,t 4-H Fair site on Perry Street (M 24), Pontiac, for use of the

facility appraised is to be presented to the Board today.
Court Tower
This facility which was almost compfoed at the time of the last Annual Report of your
Committee has, since its dedication last S'eir, been completely occupied by the Courts and related
functions. Your Committee has made a. study - of items still needing attention in connection with the
construction of this facility and the problems which usually arise in a new building are being handled
by the Board of Auditors and the Engineering Department with a close reView by the Buildings and Grounds
Committee.
Service (e: or
'.6.th the completion of the Court Tower, the contract for the West Administrative Wing was let
and this facility is presently under construction. There have been some delays due to strikes and difficult
winter conditions. The County- Engineer has advised your Committee that construction of the Wing is present-
ly twelve weeks behind schedule. Your Committee is working closely with the Board of Auditors and the
County Engineer in connection with construction. of this facility.
The tree planting and landscaping program is well under way and the Landscape Planning Department
of the County is- to be complimented for the excellent overall development of this program.
The Committee also wishes to acknowledge the fine work being done in general by the Maintenance
Division and the Grounds Department.
Roads at Service Center
The present contract for construction of roads is being completed on County Center Drive East.
Contracts for the northwest parking lot and the main approach to the Court Tower and Wing are to be
awarded at the meeting of the Board today. The east and north parking lots are completed and are in use. -
Plans for development of the intersection at Telegraph and Pontiac Lake Roads at the south
extremity of the Service Center are being completed by the State Highway Department and it is expected
that a contract will be let by the State this month for this work. The Board has previously approved
a right-of-way to the State over County owned lands to permit this construction.

IN RE: MEKORIAL FOR JOE HAAS
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
• The new Oakland County Directory for 19624963 which the Clerk, Mr. Daniel T. Murphy, distributed
to members of the Board today, contains the final chapter of vignettes about the County - its past, present
and future - written by Joe Haas, our late beloved County Historian. Joe, as he was so affectionately
called by all of us and which was really his name - passed away peacefully on May 9, 1962, at his Holly
home he loved so well. •
Joe, or Mr. Oakland County,. as he was often called, came to Holly when he was six months old,
from his birthplace,. Waterbury, Connecticut. He was the son. of Frederick and Delia Haas, born June 18,
1877. At the age Of seven, he became, a newspaper carrier, which was his start in a lifetime career and
just before his death in his 84th year he mentioned the fact that he was proud to be the oldest working
news man in the state.
219
Supervisors Minutes Continued. June 25, 1962
He was perhaps best known for his column "Man About Town" which appeared in the Pontiac Press.
Until 1937, he was the owner and publisher of the Holly Herald, and in 1944 he joined the staff of the
Pontiac Press.
Community service was a way of life for Joe Haas. A former Village and Township Clerk in
Holly, he was later a member and President of the Holly Board of Education. Joe had a great interest
in the Boy Scout movement, attended every National. Jamboree, for outstanding service was awarded the
Silver Beaver Award, was a member of the executive board of the Clinton Valley Council of Boy Scouts
of America, and in his Will, he bequeathed his estate to Camp Agawam for Boy Scouts for the construction
of the Win-Joe Lodge.
Joe served the County as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Oakland County Tuberculosis
Sanatorium since 1946 and was named County Historian by the Board of Supervisors in 1959.
Joe took an active interest_ in youth movements and, besides his work with the Boy Scouts, he
took a keen interest in 4-H work. Last year at the Oakland County 4-H Fair, he presented a top member
with a Holstein heifer in memory of his wife, Winifred who passed away in 1959. it would please Joe
to know that this heifer, now a cow, is the proud mother of a heifer calf which will be presented to
another 4-H Club member at the 4-H Fair in August this year.
Surviving are two sisters, Mrs. Roy Smith of South Haven and Mrs. lldna Hearns of Detroit.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of all the members of this Board of Supervisors, I move that the
foregoing memorial be spread on the official minutes of this meeting of the licard, and that the County
Clerk be directed to send certified copies of this resolution, with the seal of the County of Oakland
affixed thereto, to his sisters.

each in paragraph 6 of this contract, and after such maximum rate of flow has been reached, the county
shall permit no new lateral sewers to be connected to the sanitary sewers of the Huron-Rouge System,
or to any sewer connected directly or indirectly to the sanitary sewers of such system except and
until the same have been extended or enlarged as herein provided. Each municipality shall have the
right to use the capacity in the Huron-Rouge System allocated to it under the provisions of this
contract, or of any supplement hereto, within their respective corporate limits as now or hereafter
established. Any municipality which is a party to this contract may by agreement with any other
municipality which is a party to this contract assign any part of its allocated maximum rate of flow
(c.f.s.) to such other municipality upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon, and subject
to the approval of the board, provided, however, that such assignment and agreement shall in no way
effect, change or in any way dimish the obligations of such municipalities as set forth in this
contract.
16. In addition to the payment of the obligation for the municipal cost of the project
heretofore specified in this contract, each of the municipalities shall pay to the county such
charges for sewage disposal services as shall be established by the board from time to time, which
charges shall be sufficient to provide:
(a) For all costs of operating and maintaining the Huron-Rouge System, including
the cost of sewage disposal services through the Rouge Valley Sewage Disposal System in Wayne County.
(b) For the establishment and maintenance of a fund in such amount as shall be determined
by the board, for the repair, replacement and improvements of the physical assets of the Huron-Rouge
System.
(c) For any other proper costs and expenses relating to said Huron-Rouge System or the
financing thereof.
17. Service charges by the county for sewage disposal shall be made to each municipality
upon the basis of a schedule of rates and charges promulgated from time to time by the board. Any
rates and charges specified in any such schedule shall be subject to increase by the board at any
time if necessary in order to provide funds to meet the obligations expressed in paragraph 16 of
this contract.
18. The charges for sewage disposal services shall be payable monthly or quarterly as shall
be determined by the board. If either municipality does not pay its sewage disposal service charge on
the date when the same becomes due, then there shall be added to such charge a penalty of one per cent
(1%) for each month or fraction thereof for which the same remains unpaid. The payment of such sewage
disposal service charges for each municipality shall be the general obligation of such municipality,
and the board shall have the right to utilize any method permitted by law for the collection of such
charges due the county under this contract.
19. Each of the municipalities reserves the right to establish rates to be collected from
its individual users in an amount sufficient to pay its sewage disposal service charges to the county
when due. Such rates may be fixed and established in such amount as will produce additional moneys
for such municipality to be used for any lawful purposes, pertaining to sewage disposal or to sewage
disposal and water supply in event of a joint municipal system.
20 It shall be the obligation of each of the municipalities to provide the necessary
sanitary sewers to transport its sewage from the district to be served to the Huron-Rouge System
except for such additional trunks and branches as shall hereafter be constructed by the county as
herein provided. All connections to the sanitary sewer interceptors of the Huron-Rouge System
made during the construction of the project, or after the completion thereof, shall be made by
the municipality so connecting, at its expense, after first securing a permit therefor from the
board. No municipality, under this contract, shall construct or permit the construction of any
sanitary sewer in the area to be served by the Huron-Rouge System, which does not connect directly
or indirectly to the Huron-Rouge System, or construct or permit the construction of any sewage
treatment plant or facility within such area without the approval of the board.
21. The project shall be designed and constructed so that areas being served at the time
of the execution of this contract by combined sewers may continue to be served by such combined sewers.
Consistent with the foregoing provisions, the Board of Public Works shall establish general regulations
controlling the discharge of combined sewage into the Huron-Rouge System. Each of the municipalities
expressly agrees that, except as permitted by such regulations, no storm water sewers shall be connected
directly to the sanitary sewers of the Huron-Rouge System, or to any sanitary sewers connected, directly
or indirectly, to the sanitary sewers of said Huron-Rouge System. Each of the municipalities agrees
that regulations or ordinances will be adopted and enforced which will prevent the connection of roof
drains and footing drains or weep tiles to any sewer connected directly or indirectly to the Huron-
Rouge System. The board does expressly agree that except for those areas now served by combined
sewers, it will prohibit the entry of any storm waters into the Huron-Rouge System coming from sewers
or other systems under the control of any public corporation or agency thereof, and that it assumes
all responsibility for policing said system so as to prevent the entry of storm waters into the said
system.
22. The board shall have the right to deny the use of the sanitary sewer interceptors of
the Huron-Rouge System to any municipality which shall be delinquent for a period of ninety (90) days
in the payment of any of the payments or charges due from it to the county while such delinquency
continues. The foregoing may be accomplished by blocking off the sewers discharging sewage directly
or indirectly, into the Huron-Rouge System, or by any other lawful means.
23. Each municipality shall be responsible for the character of the sewage originating
therein and shall comply with the board's standards and regulations controlling the discharge of
