REPORT (MISC. #14155)
BY: Webcasting AdHoc Committee, Jeff Matis, Chairperson IN RE: RECOMMENDATION OF VENDOR FOR WEBCASTING SERVICES
To the Oakland County General Government Committee Chairperson, Ladies and Gentleman:
The Purchasing Department of Oakland County received responses from two companies, SoundQue Entertainment (“SoundQue”), the current vendor, and Motown Digital, LLC (“Motown”). Copies of the bid
responses were provided to the Webcasting Ad Hoc Committee members, and interviews were conducted. The current annual amount paid to SoundQue is $49,830.
Motown, LLC, bid at an annual cost of $71,880, which is $22,050 per year higher than the current cost, and includes an implementation fee of $6,600 and an additional potential ongoing annual cost of $1,800
per year for internet access. Their proposal includes remote controlled cameras on tripods and construction of a control room. Although asked to do so, Motown did not provide a bid to continue the
same type of service currently being provided by the current vendor, namely person operated cameras without construction of a control room.
SoundQue bid with 2 Options, Option 1, which would continue the same service that is currently being provided, and Option 2, which would include additional cabling to install remote cameras at an additional
one-time cost of $7,800.00. The cost for Option 1 is $31,740, which is $40,140 less per year than the Motown proposed cost, and $18,090 less per year than the current price. SoundQue has also agreed to
add an additional service at no cost. Specifically, all archived videos would include the “jump-to-agenda indexing.” Thus, the SoundQue bid offers a significant savings over the current price with increased
service. The above cost is for a three to five year contract. A one-year contract would incur a 30%
330
Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 16, 2014
increase. Option 2 is $32,320 per year plus the additional one-time cost of $7,800, and would eliminate the camera operators in lieu of remote controlled cameras operated from the SoundQue van.
The Purchasing Department and the Information Technology Department (“IT”) have reviewed the bid materials and attended the interviews regarding both Motown and SoundQue, and both departments are
in unanimous agreement in favor of recommending SoundQue for the webcasting service. IT also stated that it has reviewed the current service provided by SoundQue and that it is a reasonable broadcast
quality. For these reasons, The Webcasting AdHoc Committee hereby recommends that the Oakland County
Board of Commissioners enter into a 3-year contract with SoundQue at an annual cost of $31,740, as proposed under Option 1 of SoundQue’s bid, utilizing the current setup. This option will provide a
reduced overall annual expense and provide more services for less money. Chairperson, on behalf of the Webcasting Ad Hoc Committee, I move acceptance of the foregoing report.

In the event of a default in the payment of principal or interest hereon when due, whether at maturity, by redemption or otherwise, the amount of such default shall bear interest (the "additional
interest") at a rate equal to the rate of interest that is two percent above the Authority's cost of providing funds (as determined by the Authority) to make payment on the bonds of the Authority issued to provide
funds to purchase this bond but in no event in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted by law. The additional interest shall continue to accrue until the Authority has been fully reimbursed for all costs

outstanding bonds of the Authority issued to fund such account, the County shall and hereby agrees to pay on demand only the County's pro rata share (as determined by the Authority) of such deficiency as
additional interest on this bond.
During the time funds are being drawn down by the County under this bond, the Authority will periodically provide the County a statement showing the amount of principal that has been advanced and
the date of each advance, which statement shall constitute prima facie evidence of the reported information; provided that no failure on the part of the Authority to provide such a statement or to reflect a
disbursement or the correct amount of a disbursement shall relieve the County of its obligation to repay the outstanding principal amount actually advanced, all accrued interest thereon, and any other amount
payable with respect thereto in accordance with the terms of this bond.
This bond is issued by the County under and pursuant to and in full conformity with the Constitution and Statutes of Michigan (especially Act No. 342, Public Acts of 1939, as amended) and a
bond authorizing resolution adopted by the Board of Commissioners of the County (the "Resolution") for the purpose of defraying part of the cost of acquiring and constructing water supply system facilities to
improve, enlarge and extend the City of Pontiac Water Supply System to serve the County and the City of Pontiac (the "City"). The bonds are issued in anticipation of payments to be made by the City, in the
aggregate principal amount of ___________________________ Dollars ($____________), pursuant to a contract between the County and the City. The full faith and credit of the City have been pledged to the
prompt payment of the foregoing amount and the interest thereon as the same become due. As additional security the full faith and credit of the County have been pledged for the prompt payment of the
principal of and interest on the bonds of this series. Taxes levied by the City and the County to pay the principal of and interest on the bonds of this series are subject to constitutional, statutory and charter tax
limitations.
This bond is transferable, as provided in the Resolution, only upon the books of the County kept for that purpose by the bond registrar and paying agent, upon the surrender of this bond together with a
written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the bond registrar and paying agent duly executed by the Registered Owner or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon the exchange or transfer of this bond a
new bond or bonds of any authorized denomination, in the same aggregate principal amount and of the same interest rate and maturity, shall be authenticated and delivered to the transferee in exchange
therefor as provided in the Resolution, and upon payment of the charges, if any, therein provided. Bonds

The bond registrar and paying agent shall not be required to transfer or exchange bonds or
portions of bonds which have been selected for redemption.
This bond is subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the County and with the prior written consent of and upon such terms as may be required by the Authority. That portion of the bond

12. SECURITY. The bonds shall be issued in anticipation of payments to be made by the City pursuant to the Contract. The bonds shall be secured primarily by the full faith and credit pledge
made by the City in the Contract pursuant to the authorization contained in Act 342. As additional and secondary security the full faith and credit of the County are pledged for the prompt payment
of the principal of and interest on the bonds as the same shall become due. If the City shall fail to make a payment to the County which is sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the bonds as the same shall become due, then an amount sufficient to pay the deficiency shall be advanced from the general fund of the County. Taxes imposed by the County
shall be subject to constitutional and statutory limitations. 13. DEFEASANCE. In the event cash or direct obligations of the United States or obligations the
principal of and interest on which are guaranteed by the United States, or a combination thereof, the principal of and interest on which, without reinvestment, come due at times and in amounts
sufficient to pay, at maturity or irrevocable call for earlier optional redemption, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the bonds, or any portion thereof, shall have been deposited in
trust, this Resolution shall be defeased with respect to such bonds, and the owners of the bonds shall have no further rights under this Resolution except to receive payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on such bonds from the cash or securities deposited in trust and the interest and gains thereon and to transfer and exchange bonds as provided herein.
14. PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST FUND. There shall be established for the bonds a Principal and Interest Fund which shall be kept in a separate bank account, provided, however, that such
Principal and Interest Fund may be pooled or combined for deposit or investment purposes with other debt retirement funds created for nonvoted debt of the County (other than any special
assessment debt). All payments received from the City pursuant to the Contract are pledged for payment of the principal of and interest on the bonds and expenses incidental thereto and as
received shall be placed in the Principal and Interest Fund. 15. CONSTRUCTION FUND. The remainder of the proceeds of the sale of the bonds shall be set
aside in a construction fund for the Project and used to defray the cost of the Project in accordance with the provisions of the Contract.

as necessary or desirable in connection with the sale of the bonds. 17. SALE, ISSUANCE, DELIVERY, TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF BONDS. The bonds shall be
sold at a private, negotiated sale to the Authority, as authorized by Act 227. It is hereby determined that this method of sale is in the best interests of the County and is calculated to
provide the County with the lowest cost of borrowing money. The sale shall be made pursuant to the terms and conditions to be set forth in a Purchase Contract (the "Purchase Contract") and a
Supplemental Agreement (the "Supplemental Agreement"). The County Agency is authorized to execute and deliver the Supplemental Agreement and the Purchase Contract in such forms as

unmatured bond, of satisfactory evidence that the bond has been lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken and of security or indemnity which complies with applicable law and is
satisfactory to the County Treasurer, the County Treasurer may authorize the bond registrar and paying agent to deliver a new executed bond to replace the bond lost, apparently destroyed or
wrongfully taken in compliance with applicable law. In the event an outstanding matured bond is lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken, the County Treasurer may authorize the bond
registrar and paying agent to pay the bond without presentation upon the receipt of the same documentation required for the delivery of a replacement bond. The bond registrar and paying
agent, for each new bond delivered or paid without presentation as provided above, shall require the payment of expenses, including counsel fees, which may be incurred by the bond registrar
and paying agent and the County in the premises. Any bond delivered pursuant the provisions of this section 18 in lieu of any bond lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken shall be of the
same form and tenor and be secured in the same manner as the bond in substitution for which such bond was delivered.
19. TAX COVENANT. The County covenants to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to assure that the interest on the bonds will be and will
remain excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The County Agency, the County Treasurer, the County Clerk and other appropriate County officials are authorized to do all
things necessary to assure that the interest on the bonds will be and will remain excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes.

other offering or disclosure document prepared in connection with an offering of securities by the County. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of the County of Oakland, Michigan, as
follows:
340
Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 16, 2014
1. AUTHORIZATION OF BONDS – PURPOSE. Bonds of the County aggregating the principal sum to be determined by the County Agency, but not to exceed Ten Million One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($10,100,000), shall be issued and sold pursuant to the provisions of Act 342, and other applicable statutory provisions, for the purpose of defraying part of the cost of the Project.
2. BOND DETAILS. The bonds shall be designated "Oakland County Farmington Hills Water Supply System Improvements Bonds, Series 2014," shall be dated as of the date approved by the
County Agency; shall be numbered from 1 upwards; shall be fully registered; shall be in the denomination of $5,000 each or any integral multiple thereof not exceeding the aggregate
principal amount for each maturity at the option of the purchaser thereof; shall bear interest at a rate or rates not exceeding 6% per annum as shall be determined by the County Agency at the
time of sale; shall be payable as to interest on such dates as shall be determined by the County Agency; and shall be serial bonds and/or term bonds and mature in such amounts and on such
dates and in such years as shall be determined by the County Agency; provided, however, that the final maturity of a series of bonds shall not be more than 30 years after the date that such
series of bonds is delivered to the initial purchasers thereof. 3. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. The principal of and interest on the bonds shall be
payable in lawful money of the United States. Principal shall be payable upon presentation and surrender of the bonds to the bond registrar and paying agent as they severally mature. Interest
shall be paid to the registered owner of each bond as shown on the registration books at the close of business on the 15th day of the calendar month preceding the month in which the
interest payment is due. Interest shall be paid when due by check or draft drawn upon and mailed by the bond registrar and paying agent to the registered owner at the registered address.
4. BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM. Initially, one fully-registered bond for each maturity, in the aggregate amount of such maturity, shall be issued in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The
Depository Trust Company ("DTC") for the benefit of other parties (the "Participants") in the book-entry-only transfer system of DTC. In the event the County determines that it is in the best
interest of the County not to continue the book-entry system of transfer or that the interests of the holders of the bonds might be adversely affected if the book-entry system of transfer is continued,
the County may notify DTC and the bond registrar and paying agent, whereupon DTC will notify the Participants of the availability through DTC of bond certificates. In such event, the bond
registrar and paying agent shall deliver, transfer and exchange bond certificates as requested by DTC and any Participant or "beneficial owner" in appropriate amounts in accordance with this
Resolution. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the bonds at any time by giving notice to the County and the bond registrar and paying agent and discharging
its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law or the County may determine that DTC is incapable of discharging its duties and may so advise DTC. In either such event, the
County shall use reasonable efforts to locate another securities depository. Under such circumstances (if there is no successor securities depository), the County and the bond registrar
and paying agent shall be obligated to deliver bond certificates in accordance with the procedures established by this Resolution. In the event bond certificates are issued, the provisions of this
Resolution shall apply to, among other things, the transfer and exchange of such certificates and the method of payment of principal of and interest on such certificates. Whenever DTC requests
the County and the bond registrar and paying agent to do so, the County and the bond registrar and paying agent shall cooperate with DTC in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice to
make available one or more separate certificates evidencing the bonds to any Participant having bonds certified to its DTC account or to arrange for another securities depository to maintain
custody of certificates evidencing the bonds. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution to the contrary, so long as any bond is
registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to the principal of, interest on and redemption premium, if any, on such bonds and all notices with
respect to the bonds shall be made and given, respectively, to DTC as provided in the Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations relating to the bonds. The County Treasurer and the County
Agency are each authorized to sign the Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations on behalf of the County, in such form as such officer deems necessary or appropriate in order to accomplish the
issuance of the bonds in accordance with law and this Resolution.
341
Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 16, 2014

bank or trust company located in the State of Michigan which is qualified to act in such capacity under the laws of the United States of America or the State of Michigan. The County Treasurer
from time to time as required may designate a similarly qualified successor bond registrar and paying agent.
7. EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY OF BONDS. The bonds shall be executed in the name of the County by the facsimile signatures of the Chairperson of the Board of
Commissioners and the County Clerk and authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized representative of the bond registrar and paying agent, and the seal of the County (or a facsimile
thereof) shall be impressed or imprinted on the bonds. After the bonds have been executed and authenticated for delivery to the original purchaser thereof, they shall be delivered by the County
Treasurer to the purchaser upon receipt of the purchase price. Additional bonds bearing the facsimile signatures of the Chairperson of the Board of Commissioners and the County Clerk and
upon which the seal of the County (or a facsimile thereof) is impressed or imprinted may be delivered to the bond registrar and paying agent for authentication and delivery in connection with
the exchange or transfer of bonds. The bond registrar and paying agent shall indicate on each bond the date of its authentication.
8. EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF BONDS. Any bond, upon surrender thereof to the bond registrar and paying agent with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the bond registrar
and paying agent duly executed by the registered owner or his duly authorized attorney, at the option of the registered owner thereof, may be exchanged for bonds of any other authorized
denominations of the same aggregate principal amount and maturity date and bearing the same rate of interest as the surrendered bond.
Each bond shall be transferable only upon the books of the County, which shall be kept for that purpose by the bond registrar and paying agent, upon surrender of such bond together with a
written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the bond registrar and paying agent duly executed by the registered owner or his duly authorized attorney.
Upon the exchange or transfer of any bond, the bond registrar and paying agent on behalf of the County shall cancel the surrendered bond and shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee a
new bond or bonds of any authorized denomination of the same aggregate principal amount and maturity date and bearing the same rate of interest as the surrendered bond. If, at the time the
bond registrar and paying agent authenticates and delivers a new bond pursuant to this section, payment of interest on the bonds is in default, the bond registrar and paying agent shall endorse
upon the new bond the following: "Payment of interest on this bond is in default. The last date to which interest has been paid is [appropriate date to be inserted]."
The County and the bond registrar and paying agent may deem and treat the person in whose
name any bond shall be registered upon the books of the County as the absolute owner of such bond, whether such bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of the
principal of and interest on such bond and for all other purposes, and all payments made to any such registered owner, or upon his order, in accordance with the provisions of section 3 of this
Resolution shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, and neither the County nor the bond registrar and paying
agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The County agrees to indemnify and save the bond 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 bonds, the County or the bond 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.

information; provided that no failure on the part of the Authority to provide such a statement or to reflect a disbursement or the correct amount of a disbursement shall relieve the County of its obligation to repay
the outstanding principal amount actually advanced, all accrued interest thereon, and any other amount payable with respect thereto in accordance with the terms of this bond.
This bond is issued by the County under and pursuant to and in full conformity with the
Constitution and Statutes of Michigan (especially Act No. 342, Public Acts of 1939, as amended) and a bond authorizing resolution adopted by the Board of Commissioners of the County (the "Resolution") for

County and the City of Farmington Hills, the City of Keego Harbor, the City of Orchard Lake Village and the Charter Township of West Bloomfield (collectively, the "Municipalities"). The bonds are issued in
anticipation of payments to be made by the Municipalities, in the aggregate principal amount of ___________________________ Dollars ($____________), pursuant to a contract between the County
and the Municipalities. The full faith and credit of the Municipalities have been pledged to the prompt payment of the foregoing amount and the interest thereon as the same become due. As additional
security the full faith and credit of the County have been pledged for the prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the bonds of this series. Taxes levied by the Municipalities and the County to pay the
principal of and interest on the bonds of this series are subject to constitutional, statutory and charter tax limitations.

for that purpose by the bond registrar and paying agent, upon the surrender of this bond together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the bond registrar and paying agent duly executed by the
Registered Owner or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon the exchange or transfer of this bond a new bond or bonds of any authorized denomination, in the same aggregate principal amount and of the
same interest rate and maturity, shall be authenticated and delivered to the transferee in exchange therefor as provided in the Resolution, and upon payment of the charges, if any, therein provided. Bonds
so authenticated and delivered shall be in shall be in any denomination not exceeding the aggregate principal amount for each maturity.

written consent of and upon such terms as may be required by the Authority. That portion of the bond called for redemption shall not bear interest after the date fixed for redemption, provided funds are on
hand with the bond registrar and paying agent to redeem the same.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this bond, so long as the Authority is the owner of this bond, (a) this bond is payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at The Bank of New York Trust
Company, N.A., or at such other place as shall be designated in writing to the County by the Authority (the "Authority's Depository"); (b) the County agrees that it will deposit with the Authority's Depository
payments of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this bond in immediately available funds by 12:00 noon at least five business days prior to the date on which any such payment is due whether by
maturity, redemption or otherwise; in the event that the Authority's Depository has not received the County's deposit by 12:00 noon on the scheduled day, the County shall immediately pay to the Authority
as invoiced by the Authority an amount to recover the Authority's administrative costs and lost investment earnings attributable to that late payment; and (c) written notice of any redemption of this bond shall be
given by the County and received by the Authority's Depository at least 40 days prior to the date on which redemption is to be made.
It is hereby certified, recited and declared that all acts, conditions and things required to exist,
happen and be performed precedent to and in the issuance of the bonds of this series, existed, have happened and have been performed in due time, form and manner as required by law, and that the total
indebtedness of the County, including the series of bonds of which this bond is one, does not exceed any constitutional or statutory limitation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the County of Oakland, Michigan, by its Board of Commissioners, has
caused this bond to be executed in its name by facsimile signatures of the Chairperson of the Board of Commissioners and the County Clerk and its corporate seal (or a facsimile thereof) to be impressed or

principal amount of $5,500,000 dated as of August 1, 2007 (the "Prior Bonds") to defray the cost of acquiring various facilities located throughout the County to be used by the CMHA; and
WHEREAS the Authority may call the Prior Bonds maturing on March 1, 2015 through March 1, 2025 on September 1, 2014; and
WHEREAS the Prior Bonds were issued at a time when interest rates were much higher than is currently the case and, accordingly, bear rates of interest in excess of current tax-exempt interest rates; and
WHEREAS the CMHA, the County and the Authority have determined that it is necessary and appropriate at this time to issue a series of refunding bonds to be known as the Oakland County Building Authority
Refunding Bonds, Series 2014 (the “Refunding Bonds”), to refund in part the Prior Bonds; and WHEREAS in order permit the issuance of the Refunding Bonds and to reflect the new debt retirement
schedule, which will result from the issuance of the Refunding Bonds, it is necessary to adopt this Amendment to Sublease.
THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE MUTUAL UNDERTAKINGS AND AGREEMENTS CONTAINED HEREIN, IT IS HEREBY AGREED BY AND BETWEEN THE PARTIES TO THIS
AMENDMENT TO SUBLEASE AS FOLLOWS: 1. Authorization and Issuance of Refunding Bonds. The County intends to cause the Authority to
issue its Oakland County Building Authority Refunding Bonds, Series 2014 in the aggregate principal amount of not to exceed $3,300,000 (the "Refunding Bonds") for the purpose of
refunding the Prior Bonds which will result in a net interest cost to the Authority substantially less than the interest cost on the old bonds, which Refunding Bonds are to be dated as of the first day
of August 2014. Interest shall be payable semiannually and shall begin as specified in the Refunding Bond resolution, until maturity of the Refunding Bonds in accordance with the Debt
Retirement Schedule set forth on Exhibit A-1 to this Amendment to Sublease. Each date on which any payment of principal of and/or interest on any Refunding Bond is due is referred to
herein as a "Refunding Bond Payment Date." The Refunding Bonds may be payable on the first day of a different month if necessary to match rental income paid to the County.
The County and CMHA recognize and acknowledge that: a. The Estimated Debt Retirement Schedule is based upon an estimated interest rate and date
of issuance of the Refunding Bonds, and assumed Refunding Bond Payment Dates, all as set forth in EXHIBIT A-1. The actual Debt Retirement Schedule as set forth in blank in
EXHIBIT A-2 will be completed after the Refunding Bonds are sold. b. The Refunding Bonds shall not be subject to redemption prior to maturity. The County agrees
that upon request it shall cause the Authority to defease the Refunding Bonds, provided that CMHA has deposited or will deposit sufficient money to permit such defeasance with the
Authority prior to defeasance of such Refunding bonds. 2. Agreement as to use of the Project. CMHA agrees that in order to assure the County and the
Authority that the Refunding Bonds issued to finance the Project are exempt from federal income taxes that it will execute and deliver, prior to the delivery of the Refunding Bonds, an Arbitrage

representations made in the Arbitrage Certificate attached as EXHIBIT B. 3. Failure to Comply with Paragraph 2. CMHA agrees that if for any reason it cannot continue to
comply with Paragraph 2, it will before this occurs immediately proceed to refinance the Project through conventional financing and thereafter acquire the Project from the County under the
same terms and conditions as are set forth in its Option to Purchase set forth in Paragraph 5. (Arbitrage Certificate)
4. Contractual Rights of Refunding Bondholders. Inasmuch as this Amendment to Sublease provides the security for payment of the principal and interest on the Refunding Bonds, it is
hereby declared that this Amendment to Sublease is made for the benefit of the holders from time to time of the Refunding Bonds, as well as for the benefit of the parties, that such holders shall
have contractual rights under this Amendment to Sublease. In the event of any default under this Amendment to Sublease on the part of CMHA, the County and the Authority and the holders of
the Refunding Bonds shall have all rights and remedies provided by law. The parties further agree that they will not do, or permit to be done, any act, and that this Amendment to Sublease
372
Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 16, 2014
will not be amended in any manner, which would impair the security of the Refunding Bonds or the rights of the holders of the Refunding Bonds.
5. Option to Purchase. CMHA shall continue to have an option to purchase the Leased Premises from the County during the term of this Amendment to Sublease so long as CMHA is not in
default of any provision of this Amendment to Sublease. If CMHA is in default of any provision of this Amendment to Sublease the County will have sole discretion as to whether to allow CMHA to
exercise the option under this Paragraph. The option shall be exercisable on six (6) months notice to the County, which notice shall be addressed to the Oakland County Clerk, County
Service Center, Building #12 East, 1200 N. Telegraph Road, Pontiac, Michigan 48341, a copy to the Oakland County Executive at the Executive Office Building, Building #41 West, 2100 Pontiac
Lake Road, Waterford, Michigan, 48328 and a copy to the Department of Corporation Counsel at 1200 N. Telegraph Road, Department 419, Pontiac, Michigan, 48341. The conveyance of the
Leased Premises shall be contingent upon payment to the County of: (a) all outstanding principal and interest due on the Refunding Bonds to be issued together and all expenses of establishing
an Escrow to Defease the Refunding Bonds on the date the Leased Premises are to be conveyed to CMHA, and (b) payment of all other expenses of the County related to transferring title to
CMHA under this option. 6. Original Sublease Otherwise Remains in Effect. Except as provided in this Amendment to
Sublease, the original Sublease dated as of June 27, 2007 shall remain in full force and effect. 7. Severability. Any provision of this Amendment to Sublease which is found by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or illegal shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate any other provisions contained in this Amendment to Sublease and such other provisions shall remain
in full force and effect. 8. Choice of Law. This Amendment to Sublease shall be governed by Michigan law. The language
of all parts of this Amendment to Sublease is intended to and under all circumstances shall be construed as a whole according to its fair meaning and not strictly construed for or against any
party. 9. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment to Sublease shall inure to the benefit of, and be
binding upon, the respective parties hereto and their successors and assigns, provided, however, that no assignment shall be made in violation of the terms of this Amendment to Sublease nor
shall any assignment be made by CMHA without the approval of the County or which would impair the security of the Refunding Bonds or the rights of the holders of the Refunding Bonds.
10. Consents, Notices, Etc. The right to give any consent, agreement or notice required or permitted in this Amendment to Sublease shall be vested, in the case of the County, in its Board of
Commissioners, and in the case of CMHA, in its Board. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Amendment to Sublease shall be given by delivering the same, in the case of the
County, to the County Clerk, and in the case of CMHA, to its Executive Director. 11. Changes in Law or Corporate Status. In the event there shall occur changes in the Constitution or
statutes of the State of Michigan which shall affect the organization, territory, powers or corporate status of CMHA or the County, the terms and provisions of this Amendment to Sublease shall be
unaffected thereby insofar as the obligation of CMHA to make the cash rental payments is concerned. In the event of a change in the Constitution or statutes of the State of Michigan which
has the effect of dissolving CMHA at any point in time prior to retirement of the bond issue, then CMHA agrees that the Project, or any portion of the Project, may be sold to satisfy the obligation
on the Refunding Bonds. Further, CMHA agrees that any deficiency between the net sale price available to be applied to retire the Refunding Bonds and the amount needed to retire the
Refunding Bonds will be paid to the Authority by CMHA, and be applied to retire the Refunding Bonds. CMHA further agrees to make no claim for any equity it has in the Project until the
Refunding Bonds are paid off and retired. The proceeds of any sale or other liquidation of any interest of CMHA in the Project are hereby impressed with a first and prior lien for payment of any
outstanding Refunding Bonds or other obligations of the Authority incurred by reason of the Project or any additions or improvements thereto.
12. Remedies. The County shall have available to it any and all remedies allowed under this Amendment to Sublease, law, equity or P.A. 1948 No. 31, to enforce the terms and conditions of
this Amendment to Sublease.

RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – INITIATE PROPERTY ASSESSED CLEAN ENERGY (PACE) PROGRAM COUNTYWIDE TO ASSIST OAKLAND COUNTY BUSINESSES AND GREEN
INVESTMENT To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
378
Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 16, 2014
WHEREAS Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) is a program designed to allow property owners to install small-scale renewable energy systems and make energy efficiency improvements to their buildings
and pay for the cost over its functional life through an on-going assessment on property tax bills.; and WHEREAS PACE is a voluntary program that addresses two barriers to adoption for clean energy and
energy efficiency installations – the high up-front cost and the possibility that those costs will not be recovered if the property is sold; and
WHEREAS PACE assessments do not create a burden on taxpayers because they are only paid by participating owners for their own projects; and
WHEREAS A 2012 study by the Rockefeller Foundation outlined an investment opportunity of nearly $280 billion over the next 10 years that would translate to over $1 trillion in energy savings, over 3 million
jobs, and 600 million fewer metric tons of carbon emissions per year; and WHEREAS Michigan has enacted PACE enabling legislation and PACE programs have launched; and
WHEREAS Huron, Ingham, Macomb, Saginaw, and Wayne Counties as well as the Cities of Rochester Hills, Southfield and Ann Arbor have all moved forward with PACE for commercial property owners; and
WHEREAS the governments in Michigan to date forming PACE districts, excluding Ann Arbor, have joined a cooperative organization called Lean and Green Michigan to access low interest financing; and
WHEREAS Oakland County should always be leader in programs that promote economic development and environmental stewardship; and
WHEREAS a PACE program would be a wise supplement to the county’s existing OakGreen program that provides incentives for organizations to reduce their energy consumption by 10%; and
WHEREAS the lack of a countywide PACE district is depriving many companies of a valuable tool to save on energy costs and access low interest financing; and
WHEREAS a PACE program could be created at little or no cost to county taxpayers. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners requests that
the Economic Development and Community Affairs Department enter into discussion with Lean and Green Michigan to explore the creation of a countywide Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) District.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #14170 BY: Commissioner David Woodward, District #19
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT FOR SENATE BILL 2432 – BANK ON STUDENTS EMERGENCY LOAN REFINANCING ACT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Student loan debt is exploding, creating a crisis that threatens our economy, with outstanding student loans now totaling more than $1.2 trillion, surpassing total credit card debt – and every year; and
WHEREAS an astonishing 71% of college seniors had debt in 2012, with an average outstanding balance of $29,400 for those who borrowed to get a bachelor’s degree; and
WHEREAS student debt is crushing the middle class. Key federal economic agencies like the Federal Reserve, the Treasury Department, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau have weighed in on
the dangers of exploding student debt. This debt is stopping a growing proportion of families from buying homes, saving for retirement, and making purchases that will keep our economy on the road to recovery;
and WHEREAS Young borrowers are failing to keep up with payments. One in seven borrowers defaults on
federal student loans within three years of beginning repayment. Other borrowers are just barely keeping their heads above water – in total, 30% of Federal Direct student loan dollars are in default, forbearance,
or deferment; and WHEREAS Senate Bill 2432, introduced by Senator Elizabeth Warren, will allow students to refinance
their loans at interest rates as low as 3.86 percent and save thousands of dollars in the process; and
379
Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 16, 2014
WHEREAS the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that slightly more than half of the outstanding loan volume for federal student loans and loan guarantees (about $500 billion) would be
refinanced under the bill; and WHEREAS last year, large bipartisan majorities agreed that federal loan rates were far too high and voted
to lower them this year for new borrowers – but did nothing for existing borrowers. House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) hailed last year’s agreement as a “market-based solution” that was “consistent” with
Republican policy proposals. Senator Burr (R- NC) said the new rate legislation “ensures access and affordability for students”; and
WHEREAS with interest rates near historic lows, homeowners, businesses, and even local governments with good credit regularly refinance their debts – but students have few options. Even though the federal
government is by far the biggest student lender, it offers no refinancing option. Private refinancing options are extremely limited, and federal borrowers cannot participate without sacrificing key consumer
protections on federal student loans; and WHEREAS this legislation would give student loan borrowers a fair shot at managing their debt by offering
them the opportunity to refinance their federal loans. All eligible federal FFELP and Direct student loan borrowers could refinance their high-interest loans down to the rates offered to new federal borrowers in
the 2013-2014 school year under the Bipartisan Student Loan Certainty Act. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, hereby
supports the Senate Bill 2432 – Bank on Students Emergency Loan Refinancing Act and urges its adoption.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward a copy of this legislation to the Michigan Congressional Delegation, U.S. Senators Carl Levin and Debbie
Stabenow, Senator Elizabeth Warren, and Oakland County’s legislative lobbyists. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward a
copy of this resolution to the Michigan Association of Counties and the National Association of County Officials, with strong encouragement that their respective member counties also adopt similar resolutions.

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS local governments in Michigan and Oakland County have struggled with unstable funding needed to provide services; and
WHEREAS Michigan and Oakland County businesses have struggled with an uncompetitive tax on business; and
WHEREAS Michigan’s personal property tax is an antiquated unfair double tax on Michigan’s small businesses; and
WHEREAS small businesses and manufacturers power our economy and are the largest contributor to job growth in Michigan; and
WHEREAS no other state in our region taxes business equipment the way Michigan does – and most of those states don’t tax it at all, which makes Michigan significantly less competitive when it comes to job
creation and business investment; and WHEREAS Michigan communities have struggled for years to pay for essential services like police, fire,
ambulances, schools and jails; and
380
Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 16, 2014
WHEREAS Michigan communities have relied on this shrinking source of Personal Property Tax revenue to provide other community services as well, including roads, transportation and libraries; and
WHEREAS with bipartisan support the Michigan legislature has voted to reform the antiquated personal property tax to help increase Michigan’s competitiveness with other states and remove an onerous tax
that will allow more business investment and create more jobs while making local community more financially stable at the same time; and
WHEREAS this is not a constitutional amendment but the state constitution requires Michigan voters to approve certain changes in local taxes; and
WHEREAS local governments have struggled with unstable funding needed to provide services and business have struggled with an uncompetitive tax on equipment for years; and
WHEREAS the proposal will make Michigan more competitive, which will help local communities to attract more businesses and create local jobs; and
WHEREAS if this proposal is not passed by Michigan voters, the antiquated unfair tax on our state’s small businesses and manufacturers will go back into effect and Michigan communities will not have stable
revenue to fund local services; and WHEREAS the proposal is supported by many local governments and business organizations including
the AARP-Michigan, Michigan Association of Counties, the Michigan Municipal League, the Michigan Townships Association, Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police, Michigan Association of Police
Organizations, Michigan Community College Association, Michigan Farm Bureau, the Small Business Association of Michigan, Michigan Sheriffs Association, Michigan Chamber of Commerce, National
Association of Independent Businesses and the Michigan Manufacturers Association; and WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners has taken a position on ballot initiatives in the
past on issues that may have a strong impact on Oakland County’s future. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports the
passage of Proposal 1 which will be placed before voters on the August 5, 2015 Michigan Primary Ballot. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVEDBE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of
Deeds is requested to forward copies of this adopted resolution to the Governor of the State of Michigan, the Oakland County delegation to the state legislature, the Michigan Association of Counties, the Strong

Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS since the 1970s, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners has authorized the Tri-Party
Road Improvement Program to assist Oakland County’s cities, villages and townships (CVTs) with the construction, maintenance and repair of roads under the supervision, direction and control of the Road
Commission for Oakland County; and WHEREAS Miscellaneous Resolution #09221, as amended by Miscellaneous Resolution #10045,
