IN RE: ANNUAL REPORT OF BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS COMMITTEE
To the Oakland County. Board of `irpervisers
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Genti-men:
In accordance with :.•••f-i•I 4 of Rule XII of the By-Laws, your Buildings and Grounds Committee
has made its annual inspect Li C-inty-owned buildings and grounds and respectfully presents its
report in connection with tile ;
Your Committee is to report that from standpoint of maintenance, appearance
and cleanliness the buildings a.,H surroundiw: grounds prcs,nt a highly satisfactory condition.
The interiors in general are in condition and the completion of the major
renovations at the Tuberculosis Sanator i ii usl Medical Co!_ Facility will fairly well modernize
these two units.
The exteriors of many of the oldei buildings require considerable work to maintain them in
a satisfactory manner. A portion of this work is in progress this season.
Major effortJ e'i•:• the past two years by the Grounds Division of the Maintenance Department
especially in the devecpmeit of the Service Center area in terms of new landscaping and modern-
ization of old Landscapina, reflect not only in beauty and appearance but in lessened maintenance
cost. This is a part of a. long- i.e; overall plan of development which will be taking place over the
next several years.
In connection with this program, your Comanittee wishes to commend the many public spirited
citizens, including some members ot our own Board, for them - gifts of trees, shrubbery and equipment.
Letters of appreciation have been forwarded to these
The inspection of your Committee this year vivid :y disclosed the acute need for the County
to provide additional quarters for the various departments and institutions of the County and the
fact our present building. program is not f,--eping pace with these needs. The Board of Auditors has
been forced to reopen No. 1 Lafayette St i.--. for the housina of the Veterans, Cooperative Extension
and Planning Departments- It will be for other departments to follow suit in the near
future. These temporary moves have in mx,f instances reflected in inconvenience to departmental
operations and in increased renovation and operational. costs.
By recent action of this Board we are presently engaged in the renovation of the Tubercu-
losis Sanatorium and Medical Care Facility . which will not only modernize these two units hut will
go a long way toward providing the necessary number of beds for a more comprehensive sub-acute care
program. Progress is proceeding in a satisfactory manner at the Medical Care Facility. Recent
developments leading to strong possibilities Inc securing Hill-Burton monies at the Tuberculosis
Sanatorium have presently delayed preparation of architectural drawings. This development is being
closely followed by your Committee, the Board of Auditors and the County Engineer.
Work. on the first units of the. Children's Village under our Federal Grant has been started
and should, according to present construction schedules, be completed this year.
A current study prepared by the County Engineer and Auditors covering the building program
needs of the County over the next 5 years and indicating the need for even more comprehensive plannina
is now under study by your Committee. A special report on this subject can he expected.
Mr. Ch,airman, on behalf of the Buildings and Grounds Committee, I move that the foregoing.
report be received and placed on file.

of these walers is a direct threat to the future :,nd I:ell-being of its peoples, and
l:ilLELAS lowering of the water levels ot :• Huron and Michigan to an all-time low record
as of thi date is a direct threat - to our welfare and economy by the impairment. of water supplies,

WHEREAS it is a well-known fact that the levels of the Great Lakes rise and fall in cycles

true for the future except that man has changed this by alterin,o , the flow of water hy deepening the
