IN RE: MEMORIAL FOR FOREST I. BRENDEL
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Your Committee appointed to present a memorial resolution for Forest I. Brendel, respectully
reports as follows:
Forest I. Brendel was born September 7, 1895, and he was a lifetime resident of White Lake
Township and a life member of Commerce Lodge 121 F & AM.
He served as Supervisor of White Lake Township from 1934 continuously to 1959 and, upon his
retirement from this Board two years ago, was awarded a Certificate of Merit for his long service to
the County. Prior to being elected Supervisor, he served five years as White Lake Township Road
Commissioner.
He passed away on April 7, 1961 and is survived by his wife, Lola, three sons, Frederick and
James of White La-:e Township, and Neil of Detroit. Also four daughters, Mrs. Floyd Vanderhoof, Mrs.
James Marble, Mrs. George Barber and Mrs. Robert Evans, all of White Lake Township.
Forest- Brendel was the kind of citizen which makes up the backbone of America. Easy to meet
and possessing the type of personality which drew all he met to him. He was kind and thoughtful of
others, was willing to speak good or refrain from speaking where others were concerned. He was loved
and respected by all who knew him.
We wish, by this memorial, to express our sympathy to these nearest to him and assure them
that their grief is shared by every member of this Board of Supervisors and every official of Oakland
County who had the privilege and pleasure of becoming acquainted with him.
Mr. Chairman, I move that this memorial be spread upon the records of this Board and that the
County. Clerk be authorized to forward a certified copy of this resolution, with the seal of Oakland
County affixed thereto, to his wife, Lola Brendel.

To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
At the January 10, 1961 meeting of the Board, a resolution was adopted authorizing the Chairman
to a: it a Special Insurance Committee to study and evaluate the premiums and coverage of the present
ineuraarc. bonding program of the County and to recommend any possible areas where savings may accrue
to the Co
aid resolution your Speeiel insurance Committee was appointed and began the study
of the Ceunie flsurca , program. The Comm-'• it and reviewed present insurance coverage with members
of the Boar.: ,4 and with Mr. H. W. Hui,-nlocher, Agent of Record for the County on insurance.

by Mr. Locy after hi review of all of the County insth
of the coverage and premium costsof these policies wi'h
the preparation of recommendations.
The Committee proceeded with the study on the
the present County; insurance program and develop consri
complete review of all of the various aspects of the ir
insurance protection which the County now has, the r
allocated to the Agent of Record as compensation foi
that in general the present Agent of Record has been ::%7
insurance needs. Your Committee further found that the perce
other agents through him and the amount which he retains is
Your Committee found that in some instances on insurance coverage which is handled through
the Board of Auditors, such as the automobile fleet policy and workmen's compensation, that there should
be a greater effort on the part of the Agent of Record to advise and assist. the County in setting up an
effective safety program. Such a program, in the opinion of your Committee, would most certainly have
a tendency to decrease the number of accidents, save manpower hours and keep insurance rates to a minimum.
In the bonding program, your Committee found that the Agent. of Record has very little to do
with the placing of the bonds of the various County Officials since they have the right under the law to
order their own bonds, the County having the obligation to pay for same.
Your Committee also considered the possibility of County self-insurance and found that it would
not be feasible to adopt such a program becele the risks are too great and the amount of premiums now
paid by the County would not warrant cooJoa, Ition of County self-insurance,
The Committee does not desire 'a baden this report with a lot of details on insurance policies,
coverage and premiums, all of which information is available through the Board of Auditors to any member
of the Board desiring such details at any time.
Your Committee presents the following specific recommendations to the Board for consideration:
