IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF FACILITIES MANAGEMENT – REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF LEASE AGREEMENT EXTENSION WITH ROAD COMMISSION FOR OAKLAND COUNTY, TRAFFIC
OPERATION CENTER, BUILDING 49 WEST To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: Pursuant to Rule XII-C of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed the above referenced
resolution and finds: 1. A lease agreement between the County of Oakland and the Road Commission for Oakland
County (RCOC) for approximately 6,540 square feet of office space in the lower level of the Information Technology Building for use by the RCOC as a Traffic Operation Center is currently in
effect until July 31, 2013. 2. The Road Commission for Oakland County has requested a two-year extension of the current
lease. 3. The lease agreement extension provides for the continued use of this office space by the RCOC
from July 1, 2012 through July 31, 2015. Lease charges will be based on a rate of $14.49 per square foot in FY 2012 with annual rate adjustments for FY 2013 – FY 2015 based on expected
operation and maintenance costs for the building. 4. Under terms of the lease, the County will make additional space available to the RCOC, if space
is available based on the County’s existing and future requirements. The additional space will be used by the RCOC to accommodate TIMS computer equipment, SCATS central management
system computer, SCATS regional computer and peripheral computer and equipment, and permit RCOC to co-locate receivers/transmitters on the County’s tower and access to OakNet.
5. There will be no extensions of this lease. 6. Lease revenue to the County is budgeted and will be receipted in the External Agencies revenue
account (#63100-1040702-140010-635017) in the Facilities Maintenance & Operations Fund. 7. The estimated cost to operate and maintain the leased space in FY 2013, as calculated by the
Facilities Maintenance & Operations Division, is $151,170. Lease payments to Oakland County from the RCOC in FY 2013 are estimated at $85,364 based on a rate of $13.05 per square foot.

appropriation of $56,170 is included in the FY 2013 Recommended Budget in General Fund Non-Departmental account (#10100-9010101-148050-770631) to account for the majority of the

the City’s Lot 119 of parcel (#17-34-401-003) which is along an OakNet fiber run. 5. The mechanical and building permits are to be submitted to the City of Walled Lake along with
Quit Claim Deeds and a site plan that describes the ownership transfer; the matter is conditional upon official approval by Walled Lake City Council.
6. There is no financial impact other than a minimal charge for recording the property exchange. 7. There is sufficient budget within the FY 2012 Facilities Management Administration budget for the
recording of the property exchange and therefore no budget amendment is required.

IN RE: HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT/BENEFIT ADMINISTRATION DIVISION - INCREASE IN PRESCRIPTION CO-PAYS AND EMERGENCY ROOM CO-PAYS FOR COUNTY MEDICAL PLANS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County is continually reviewing and evaluating the benefit programs offered to County employees and retirees; and
WHEREAS it is important to maintain a balance between the needs of the County workforce and the needs of the County citizens; and
WHEREAS proactive financial management has allowed the County to plan for future challenges while carefully weighing all options; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 18, 2012
501
WHEREAS the County has been proactive in making incremental changes to the benefit and retirement packages of County employees and retirees over time; and
WHEREAS in keeping with the effort to make incremental changes over time, the County Executive is proposing a change to employee and retiree health care plans beginning January 1, 2013; and
WHEREAS the prescription drug co-pay levels are proposed to increase from the current levels of $5/$10/$25 to $5/$20/$40 for all non-represented employee medical plans and for retiree medical plans;
and WHEREAS an emergency room co-pay of $100 is recommended to be implemented for all non-
represented employees and for retiree medical plans for non-emergency conditions; and WHEREAS these changes are designed to encourage the use of generic prescription drugs and the use
of physician office visits and/or urgent care centers for non-emergency related care, which are a more cost effective medical care delivery method.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorizes the following changes to the medical and prescription drug plans for eligible County employees and retirees:
1. Increase the prescription drug co-pay levels from $5/$10/$25 to $5/$20/$40. 2. Establish an emergency room visit co-pay of $100 for non-emergency conditions.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that these proposed changes apply to all non-represented employees, represented employees whose bargaining agreements provide for these changes, and to all retirees,

PRESCRIPTION CO-PAYS AND EMERGENCY ROOM CO-PAYS FOR COUNTY MEDICAL PLANS To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: Pursuant to Rule XII-G of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed the above referenced
resolution and finds: 1. The proposed changes to the health care benefits provided to county employees include
prescription and emergency room co-pays. 2. It is estimated that annual cost savings will be $850,000. It is estimated that there would be
approximately $250,000 in savings in regards to the $100 emergency room visit co-pay and approximately $600,000 in savings regarding the changes in prescription drug co-pay levels from
$5/$10/$25 to $5/$20/$40. 3. Since the county is self-insured for health care, the actual health care savings cannot be
determined until the program is fully implemented. Therefore no budget amendments are recommended at this time.
4. Future medical plan rates will be adjusted to reflect the actual cost related to these co-pay changes.

SUBRECIPIENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF PONTIAC AND COUNTY OF OAKLAND FOR HOME PROGRAM YEARS (PY) 2010, 2011 AND 2012 FUNDING
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the City of Pontiac as a HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) Participating Jurisdiction (PJ) qualifies to receive annual HOME funding directly from the U.S. Department of Housing
and Development (HUD); and WHEREAS the City of Pontiac as a PJ is allowed by HUD to contract with eligible entities to administer
HOME activities on the City’s behalf through a Subrecipient Agreement which stipulates the administrative and compliance requirements associated with administering federal HOME funds; and
WHEREAS the City of Pontiac has requested Oakland County to administer HOME funds totaling $1,338,709 from Program Years (PY) 2010 ($532,114), 2011 ($470,397) and 2012 ($336,198) due to the
City’s declining administrative capacity to implement HOME activities; and WHEREAS Oakland County is a HUD approved HOME PJ with the capacity to administer HOME
activities on the City’s behalf; and WHEREAS Oakland County will implement a housing rehabilitation program (also referred to as the
Oakland County Home Improvement Loan Program) to improve qualified City of Pontiac single family owner occupant housing units and implement the Community Housing Development Organization
(CHDO) affordable housing development program set aside within the City of Pontiac as stated in the attached Subrecipient Agreement effective June 1, 2012 through June 30, 2015; and
WHEREAS no HOME Program matching funds are required for these programs as HUD has qualified the City of Pontiac to receive a 100% match reduction as a distressed City; and

BY: Planning and Building Committee, David Potts, Chairperson
IN RE: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF PONTIAC TO DEMOLISH THE PHOENIX
CENTER PARKING STRUCTURE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the City of Pontiac (the “City”) has entered into a certain sublease (the “Sublease”) made as of February 1, 2006 among the City of Pontiac, the City of Pontiac General Building Authority, the City of
Pontiac Tax Increment Finance Authority and the County of Oakland whereby the City of Pontiac and or the City of Pontiac Tax Increment Finance Authority has the right to occupy a structure known as the
Phoenix Center Parking Structure (the “Phoenix Center”) located in the City of Pontiac; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 18, 2012
503
WHEREAS the Phoenix Center is in need of immediate repairs and added operating costs to continue to operate it at an acceptable level; and
WHEREAS the Emergency Manager of the City of Pontiac has determined that the real estate on which the Phoenix Center is situated is more valuable without the parking structure located on it than the rebuilt
Phoenix Center would be; and WHEREAS the Sublease permits the City to demolish the Phoenix Center so long as the County of
Oakland approves the demolition and the City pays for it; and WHEREAS there are the following advantages to demolition of the Phoenix Center:
a) The capital/repair costs of maintaining this facility over a 10-year term are substantially mitigated (estimated in the Desmond Study to be roughly $8.5 million). In fact, the first phase of the
demolition costs would be roughly equivalent to the first 18 months of immediate capital/repair costs needed to restore the facility. However, from year 2 to year 10, substantial additional capital
costs would be required in the amount of $6.1 million. It is unlikely that the future costs could be borne by the City’s General Fund given the continued downward spiral of revenues.
b) The annual budgeted costs of approximately $160,000 for insurance and electricity would be eliminated. The additional security costs for operating an open or partially open facility would be
avoided. c) The issue of trespassers is eliminated.
d) The vacant land should accommodate the parking needs of the existing tenants in the three attached facilities. Nearby parking should assist in mitigating the parking issues should the two
Ottawa Towers become fully occupied. e) The Downtown Business Association believes that the demolition is the preferred course of
action, in part, because the present unused facility is a detriment to downtown business retention and attraction and customers frequenting the downtown.
f) The demolition of the Phoenix Center provides the downtown with several potential future options, including extending Saginaw Street from Woodward directly into the downtown and
opening the river that runs underneath the facility.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of the County of Oakland,
Michigan as follows:
1. The City of Pontiac is hereby granted the Authority to demolish the Phoenix Center in accordance
with the description attached hereto as APPENDIX A.
2. After demolition, the County of Oakland shall continue to have its rights to use the Phoenix
Center as specified in the Sublease between the County and the City of Pontiac.

under the Sublease. 4. There is no financial impact to the County and no budget amendment is required.

WHEREAS Oakland County Clerk Bill Bullard, Jr. wrote a letter to Governor Snyder noting that “the complications of this election will be immense on local election officials” and that “this unplanned election

September 5th; and WHEREAS Clerk Bullard requested that the local governments be reimbursed for these costs from the
State of Michigan and if current Michigan Law does not provide a mechanism to authorize reimbursing costs associated with a special election, that such legislation be considered.
