*MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #12057 BY: Finance Committee, Tom Middleton, Chairperson
IN RE: TREASURER’S OFFICE - AUTHORIZATION TO BORROW AGAINST DELINQUENT 2011 REAL PROPERTY TAXES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners of the County of Oakland (the "County") has heretofore adopted a resolution establishing the Oakland County Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund (the "Fund") pursuant to
Section 87b of Act No. 206, Public Acts of Michigan, 1893, as amended ("Act 206"); and WHEREAS the purpose of the Fund is to allow the Oakland County Treasurer (the "County Treasurer") to
pay from the Fund any or all delinquent real property taxes that are due and payable to the County and any school district, intermediate school district, community college district, city, township, special
assessment district, the State of Michigan or any other political unit for which delinquent tax payments are due; and
WHEREAS it is hereby determined to be necessary for the County to borrow money and issue its notes for the purposes authorized by Act 206, particularly Sections 87c, 87d and 87g thereof; and
WHEREAS it is estimated that the total amount of unpaid 2011 delinquent real property taxes (the "delinquent taxes") outstanding on March 1, 2012, will be approximately $125,000,000, exclusive of
interest, fees and penalties. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of the County of Oakland, State
of Michigan, as follows:
Authorization of Borrowing
1. Pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Act 206, Public Acts of Michigan, 1893, as amended, and especially Sections 87c, 87d and 87g thereof, the County shall borrow the sum of
not to exceed twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000) and issue its notes (the "notes") therefor for the purpose of continuing the Fund for the 2011 tax year. The exact amount to be borrowed shall not exceed
the amount of delinquent taxes outstanding on March 1, 2012, exclusive of interest, fees and penalties. The County Treasurer shall designate the exact amount to be borrowed after the amount of the 2011
delinquent taxes outstanding on March 1, 2012, or the portion of the 2011 delinquent taxes against which the County shall borrow, has been determined.
Note Details
2. Pursuant to provisions of applicable law and an order of the County Treasurer, which
order is hereby authorized, the notes may be issued in one or more series; shall be known as "General Obligation Limited Tax Notes, Series 2012" with a letter designation added thereto if the notes are issued
in more than one series; shall be in fully registered form in denominations not exceeding the aggregate principal amounts for each maturity of the notes; shall be sold for not less than 98% of the face amount of
the notes; shall bear interest at fixed or variable rates not to exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law; shall be dated, payable as to interest and in principal amounts, be subject to
redemption in whole or in part prior to maturity, including any redemption premiums, and be subject to renewal, at such times and in such amounts, all as shall be designated in the order of the County
Treasurer. Notes or portions of notes called for redemption shall not bear interest after the redemption date, provided funds are on hand with the note registrar and paying agent to redeem the same. Notice of
redemption shall be given in the manner prescribed by the County Treasurer, including the number of days’ notice of redemption and whether such notice shall be written or published, or both. If any notes of
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 22, 2012
164
any series are to bear interest at a variable rate or rates, the County Treasurer is hereby further authorized to establish by order, and in accordance with law, a means by which interest on such notes
may be set, reset or calculated prior to maturity, provided that such rate or rates shall at no time be in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law. Such rates may be established by
reference to the minimum rate that would be necessary to sell the notes at par; by a formula that is determined with respect to an index or indices of municipal obligations, reported prices or yields on
obligations of the United States or the prime rate or rates of a bank or banks selected by the County Treasurer; or by any other method selected by the County Treasurer.
Payment of Principal and Interest
3. The principal of and interest on the notes shall be payable in lawful money of the United States from such funds and accounts as provided herein. Principal shall be payable upon presentation
and surrender of the notes to the note registrar and paying agent when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity or earlier redemption. Interest shall be paid to the owner shown as the
registered owner on the registration books at the close of business on such date prior to the date such interest payment is due, as is provided in the order of the County Treasurer. Interest on the notes shall
be paid when due by check or draft drawn upon and mailed by the note registrar and paying agent to the registered owner at the registered address, or by such other method as determined by the County
Treasurer.
Note Registrar and Paying Agent
4. The County Treasurer shall designate, and may enter into an agreement with, a note
registrar and paying agent for each series of notes that shall be the County Treasurer or a bank or trust company that is qualified to act in such capacity under the laws of the United States of America or the
State of Michigan. The County Treasurer may from time to time designate a similarly qualified successor note registrar and paying agent. Alternatively, the County Treasurer may serve as note registrar and
paying agent if so designated by written order of the County Treasurer.
Disposition of Note Proceeds
5. The proceeds of the sale of the notes shall be deposited into a separate account in the
Fund and shall be used to continue the Fund. The County Treasurer shall pay therefrom and from unpledged funds in the Fund, uncommitted funds in the County General Fund and/or any other legally
available funds, if the notes are sold at a discount, the full amount of the delinquent tax roll against which the County has borrowed, delivered as uncollected by any tax collector in the County and that is
outstanding and unpaid on or after March 1, 2012, in accordance with the provisions of Act 206. If the notes are sold at a premium, the County Treasurer shall determine what portion of the premium, if any,
shall be deposited in the 2012 Collection Account established in Section 6 hereof.
2012 Collection Account
6. There is hereby established as part of the Fund an account (hereby designated the "2012
Collection Account") into which account the County Treasurer shall place delinquent taxes against which the County has borrowed, and interest thereon, collected on and after March 1, 2012, all County property
tax administration fees on such delinquent taxes, after expenses of issuance of the notes have been paid, any premium as determined pursuant to Section 5 hereof, and any amounts received by the County
Treasurer from the County, the State of Michigan and any taxing unit within the County, because of the uncollectibility of such delinquent taxes. The foregoing are hereby established as funds pledged to note
repayment. The County Treasurer shall designate the delinquent taxes against which the County shall borrow for each series of notes.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 22, 2012
165
Note Reserve Fund
7. There is hereby authorized to be established by the County Treasurer a note reserve fund for the notes (the "2012 Note Reserve Fund") if the County Treasurer deems it to be reasonably
required as a reserve and advisable in selling the notes at public or private sale. The County Treasurer is authorized to deposit in the 2012 Note Reserve Fund from proceeds of the sale of the notes, unpledged
moneys in the Fund, uncommitted funds in the County General Fund and/or any other legally available funds, an amount not exceeding ten percent (10%) of the face amount of the notes.
Security for Payment of Notes
8. All of the moneys in the 2012 Collection Account and the 2012 Note Reserve Fund, if established, and all interest earned thereon, relating to a series of notes are hereby pledged equally and
ratably as to such series to the payment of the principal of and interest on the notes and shall be used solely for that purpose until such principal and interest have been paid in full. When moneys in the 2012
Note Reserve Fund, if established, are sufficient to pay the outstanding principal of the notes and the interest accrued thereon such moneys may be used to retire the notes. If more than one series of notes
is issued, the County Treasurer by order shall establish the priority of the funds pledged for payment of each such series. In such case the County Treasurer may establish sub-accounts in the various funds
and accounts established pursuant to the terms of this resolution as may be necessary or appropriate.
Additional Security
9. Each series of notes, in addition, shall be a general obligation of the County, secured by
its full faith and credit, which shall include the County's limited tax obligation, within applicable constitutional and statutory limits, and its general funds. The County budget shall provide that if the
pledged delinquent taxes and any other pledged amounts are not collected in sufficient amounts to meet the payments of principal and interest due on each series of notes, the County, before paying any other
budgeted amounts, will promptly advance from its general funds sufficient moneys to pay that principal and interest. The County shall not have the power to impose taxes for payment of the notes in excess of
constitutional or statutory limitations. If moneys in the 2012 Collection Account and the 2012 Note Reserve Fund, if established, are not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the notes, when
due, the County shall pay the same in accordance with this section, and may thereafter reimburse itself from the delinquent taxes collected.
Release of Pledge of 2012 Collection Account
10. Upon the investment of moneys in the 2012 Collection Account in direct non-callable obligations of the United States of America in amounts and with maturities that are sufficient to pay in full
the principal of and interest on the notes when due, any moneys in the 2012 Collection Account thereafter remaining may be released from such pledge created pursuant to Section 8 hereof and may be used to
pay any or all delinquent real property taxes that are due the County and any school district, intermediate school district, community college district, city, township, special assessment district, the State of
Michigan or any other political unit to which delinquent tax payments are due for any year or for any other purpose permitted by law.
Sale of Notes
11. The County Treasurer is hereby authorized to offer the notes at public or private sale as determined by order of the County Treasurer and to do all things necessary to effectuate the sale,
delivery, transfer and exchange of the notes in accordance with the provisions of this resolution. Notes of one series may be offered for sale and sold separately from notes of another series. If the notes are to

166
be sold publicly, sealed proposals for the purchase of the notes shall be received by the County Treasurer for such public sale to be held at such time as shall be determined by the County Treasurer
and notice thereof shall be published in accordance with law, once in The Bond Buyer or the Detroit Legal News, both of which are hereby designated as being a publication printed in the English language and
circulated in this State that carries as a part of its regular service, notices of sale of municipal bonds. Such notice shall be in the form prescribed by the County Treasurer.
The County Treasurer is hereby authorized to cause the preparation of an official statement for the notes for the purpose of enabling compliance with SEC Rule 15c2-12 (the "Rule") and to do all other
things necessary to enable compliance with the Rule. After the award of the notes, the County will provide copies of a final official statement (as defined in paragraph (e)(3) of the Rule) on a timely basis
and in reasonable quantity as requested by the successful bidder or bidders to enable such successful bidder or bidders to comply with paragraph (b)(4) of the Rule and the rules of the Municipal Securities
Rulemaking Board.
Continuing Disclosure
12. The County Treasurer is hereby authorized to execute and deliver in the name and on behalf of the County (i) a certificate of the County to comply with the requirements for a continuing
disclosure undertaking of the County pursuant to subsection (b)(5) or (d)(2) of the Rule, as applicable, and (ii) amendments to such certificate from time to time in accordance with the terms of such certificate
(the certificate and any amendments thereto are collectively referred to herein as the "Continuing Disclosure Certificate"). The County hereby covenants and agrees that it will comply with and carry out
all of the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate. The remedies for any failure of the County to comply with and carry out the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall be as set forth
therein.
Execution and Delivery of Notes
13. The County Treasurer is hereby authorized and directed to execute the notes for the
County by manual or facsimile signature and the County Treasurer shall cause the County seal or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or imprinted on the notes. Unless the County Treasurer shall specify
otherwise in writing, fully registered notes shall be authenticated by the manual signature of the note registrar and paying agent. After the notes have been executed and authenticated, if applicable, for
delivery to the original purchaser thereof, the County Treasurer shall deliver the notes to the purchaser or purchasers thereof upon receipt of the purchase price. Additional notes bearing the manual or facsimile
signature of the County Treasurer and upon which the seal of the County or a facsimile thereof is impressed or imprinted may be delivered to the note registrar and paying agent for authentication, if
applicable, and delivery in connection with the exchange or transfer of fully registered notes. The note registrar and paying agent shall indicate on each note that it authenticates the date of its authentication.
The notes shall be delivered with the approving legal opinion of Dickinson Wright PLLC. Municipal Financial Consultants Incorporated, Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan, is hereby retained to act as financial
consultant and advisor to the County in connection with the sale and delivery of the Notes.
Exchange and Transfer of Fully Registered Notes
14. Any fully registered note, upon surrender thereof to the note registrar and paying agent
with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the note registrar and paying agent duly executed by the registered owner or his or her duly authorized attorney, at the option of the registered owner thereof,
may be exchanged for notes of any other authorized denominations of the same aggregate principal amount and maturity date and bearing the same rate of interest as the surrendered note.
Each note shall be transferable only upon the books of the County, which shall be kept for that purpose by the note registrar and paying agent, upon surrender of such note together with a written
instrument of transfer satisfactory to the note registrar and paying agent duly executed by the registered owner or his or her duly authorized attorney.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 22, 2012
167
Upon the exchange or transfer of any note, the note registrar and paying agent on behalf of the County shall cancel the surrendered note and shall authenticate, if applicable, and deliver to the
transferee a new note or notes of any authorized denomination of the same aggregate principal amount and maturity date and bearing the same rate of interest as the surrendered note. If, at the time the note
registrar and paying agent authenticates, if applicable, and delivers a new note pursuant to this section, payment of interest on the notes is in default, the note registrar and paying agent shall endorse upon the
new note the following: "Payment of interest on this note is in default. The last date to which interest has been paid is [place date]."
The County and the note registrar and paying agent may deem and treat the person in whose name any note shall be registered upon the books of the County as the absolute owner of such note,
whether such note shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of and interest on such note and for all other purposes, and all payments made to any such registered owner, or
upon his or her order, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 hereof shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such note to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, and neither the
County nor the note registrar and paying agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The County agrees to indemnify and save the note registrar and paying agent harmless from and against any
and all loss, cost, charge, expense, judgment or liability incurred by it, acting in good faith and without negligence hereunder, in so treating such registered owner.
For every exchange or transfer of notes, the County or the note registrar and paying agent may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid
with respect to such exchange or transfer, which sum or sums shall be paid by the person requesting such exchange or transfer as a condition precedent to the exercise of the privilege of making such
exchange or transfer. The note registrar and paying agent shall not be required to transfer or exchange notes or
portions of notes that have been selected for redemption.
Book Entry System
15. At the option of the County Treasurer and notwithstanding any provisions of this
resolution to the contrary, the County Treasurer is hereby authorized to enter into an agreement with a custodian or trustee for the purpose of establishing a "book entry" system for registration of notes to be
fully registered. Pursuant to the provisions of such agreement, the notes may be registered in the name of the custodian or trustee for the benefit of other persons or entities. Such agreement shall provide for
the keeping of accurate records and prompt transfer of funds by the custodian or trustee on behalf of such persons or entities. The agreement may provide for the issuance by the custodian or trustee of
certificates evidencing beneficial ownership of the notes by such persons or entities. For the purpose of payment of the principal of and interest on the notes, the County may deem payment of such principal
and interest, whether overdue or not, to the custodian or trustee as payment to the absolute owner of such note. Pursuant to provisions of such agreement, the book entry system for the notes may be used
for registration of all or a portion of the notes and such system may be discontinued at any time by the County. The note registrar and paying agent for the notes may act as custodian or trustee for such
purposes.
Issuance Expenses
16. Expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of the notes, including without limitation any premiums for any insurance obtained for the notes, note rating agency fees, travel and
printing expenses, fees for agreements for lines of credit, letters of credit, commitments to purchase the notes, remarketing agreements, reimbursement agreements, purchase or sales agreements or
commitments, or agreements to provide security to assure timely payment of the notes, fees for the setting of interest rates on the notes and bond counsel, financial advisor, paying agent and registrar fees,
all of which are hereby authorized, shall be paid by the County Treasurer from County property tax administration fees on the delinquent taxes, from any other moneys in the Fund not pledged to the
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 22, 2012
168
repayment of notes and general funds of the County that are hereby authorized to be expended for that purpose.
Replacement of Notes
17. Upon receipt by the County Treasurer of satisfactory evidence that any outstanding note has been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, and of security or indemnity complying with applicable law
and satisfactory to the County Treasurer, the County Treasurer may execute or authorize the imprinting of the County Treasurer's facsimile signature thereon and thereupon, and if applicable, a note registrar or
paying agent shall authenticate and the County shall deliver a new note of like tenor as the note mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen. Such new note shall be issued and delivered in exchange and
substitution for, and upon surrender and cancellation of, the mutilated note or in lieu of and in substitution for the note so destroyed, lost or stolen in compliance with applicable law. For the replacement of
authenticated notes, the note registrar and paying agent shall, for each new note authenticated and delivered as provided above, require the payment of expenses, including counsel fees, which may be
incurred by the note registrar and paying agent and the County in the premises. Any note issued under the provisions of this Section in lieu of any note alleged to be destroyed, lost or stolen shall be on an
equal basis with the note in substitution for which such note was issued.
Chargebacks
18. For any principal payment date of the notes on or after January 1, 2015, the delinquent
taxes on property foreclosed and sold pursuant to the provisions of Act 206 and against which the County has borrowed shall, if necessary to ensure full and timely payment of principal of and interest on the notes
when due, be charged back to the taxing jurisdictions in such manner as determined by the County Treasurer. The proceeds of such chargebacks shall be deposited in the 2012 Collection Account as
security for payment of the notes as described in Section 8 hereof. The provisions of this section shall not limit the authority of the County Treasurer under the laws of the State of Michigan to charge back
delinquent taxes under other circumstances or at other times.
Purchase of Notes by County
19. All or any portion of the notes may be purchased or otherwise acquired by the County if the County Treasurer by order deems such purchase or acquisition to be in the best interest of the
County. In such case, the County Treasurer is authorized to take such actions to effectuate the purchase or acquisition, including without limitation entering into an agreement to purchase or repurchase the
notes. The purchase or other acquisition of notes by or on behalf of the County does not cancel, extinguish or otherwise affect the notes and the notes shall be treated as outstanding notes for all
purposes of this resolution until paid in full.
Issuance of Refunding Notes
20. The County shall refund all or part of the notes authorized hereunder and/or notes previously issued by the County to continue the Fund for prior tax years if and as authorized by order of
the County Treasurer through the issuance of refunding notes (the "Refunding Notes") in an amount to be determined by order of the County Treasurer. Proceeds of the Refunding Notes may be used to redeem
such notes and to pay issuance expenses of the Refunding Notes as authorized and described in Section 16 hereof. The County Treasurer shall have all the authority with respect to the Refunding Notes as is
granted to the County Treasurer with respect to the notes by the other Sections hereof, including the authority to select a note registrar and paying agent, to apply to the Michigan Department of Treasury for
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 22, 2012

approval to issue the Refunding Notes, if necessary, to cause the preparation of an official statement and to do all other things necessary to sell, execute and deliver the Refunding Notes. The Refunding Notes
shall contain the provisions, shall be payable as to principal and interest and shall be secured as set forth herein and as further ordered by the County Treasurer. The Refunding Notes may be sold as a separate
issue or may be combined in a single issue with other obligations of the County issued pursuant to the provisions of Act 206 as shall be determined by the County Treasurer. The County Treasurer is
authorized to prescribe the form of Refunding Note and the form of notice of sale, if any, for the sale of Refunding Notes.

RESERVE To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS the Air National Guard provides protection of life and property, while also serving to preserve
peace, order and public safety. Their missions are accomplished through emergency relief support during natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes and forest fires; search and rescue operations; support to
civil defense authorities; maintenance of vital public services and counterdrug operations; and WHEREAS over the past decade, our National Guard has evolved into a cost-effective operational force
that is critical to our national security and our country’s ability to respond to domestic emergencies; and WHEREAS the Air National Guard comprises twenty-one (21%) percent of the uniformed members of the
total Air Force and thirty-five (35%) percent of the U.S. Air Force capacity, while having the lowest base operating expense comprising only six (6%) percent of the budget; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 22, 2012
198
WHEREAS the Air National Guard has the highest experience levels in the total Air Force and performs a variety of domestic missions, including transporting vital personnel, equipment and supplies during
emergencies and assisting in daily drug interdiction operations; and WHEREAS the Air National Guard is the only military component that can serve both the President and
our Governors and the only component underwritten by shared state-federal cost arrangements; and WHEREAS the 107th Fighter Squadron is an historic flying unit in the U.S. Air Force. After more than 40
years of operations at Detroit-Metropolitan Airport, the unit has been assigned to Selfridge since 1971. It was designated as the 107th Fighter Squadron on March 15, 1992, and began flying the A-10
Thunderbolt II on May 2, 2009; and WHEREAS bravely flying the A-10 Thunderbolt II, the 107th Fighter Squadron became known as “The
Red Devils.” This squadron has served on multiple deployments in recent years, including launching aircraft to defend sovereign U.S. airspace on Sept. 11, 2001, and being deployed for Operation Iraqi
Freedom in 2004 and 2007. They have been deploying A-10 fighter jets to Kandahar, Afghanistan in 2011-2012; and
WHEREAS the Department of Defense has been given the task of cutting at least $487 billion in defense spending over the next ten years. We understand tough choices about military force structure must be
made to secure our nation’s future; but we must also recognize that national security threats at home and abroad have not diminished; and
WHEREAS as part of the reduction in the military budget, the A-10 fighter jets has been identified for removal from the Selfridge Air National Guard Base. The loss of this mission will have a serious impact on
our region, resulting in the loss and/or reduction of many jobs for the dedicated men and women who are assigned to this unit from around the Southeast Michigan region; and
WHEREAS the Adjutants General have urged the Senate Armed Forces Committee to delay implementation of the Air Force 2013 Budget proposal until proper review by Congress can be
undertaken that utilizes a disciplined, objective, analysis-based process to find affordable and sustainable solutions that protect our national security; and
WHEREAS the Macomb County Board of Commissioners have voted to request that reductions to the force structure of the Air National Guard be based on a sound, objective and analysis-based process
which takes into account the need to balance costs savings while retaining the capacity to assure America’s security at home and abroad.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners recognizes that the Air National Guard is an essential partner to the State of Michigan and Oakland County in responding
to domestic disasters and emergencies and respectfully requests that the U.S. Department of Defense reconsider any proposed reductions in personnel or equipment that negatively impacts the Air National
Guard stationed at Selfridge Air Force Base. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby requests that
reductions to the force structure of the Air National Guard be based on a sound, objective and analysis-based process which takes into account the need to balance cost savings while retaining the capacity to
assure the security and best interests of our region, state and nation. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward
copies of this adopted resolution to President Barack Obama, Governor Rick Snyder, Senator John McCain, as Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Senator Carl Levin, Senator
Debbie Stabenow, southeast Michigan’s Congressional Delegation, the Selfridge Base Community Council, the National Governor’s Association, the Clerks for the Counties of Wayne and Macomb, the
