To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #14236 BY: Planning and Building, Jim Runestad, Chairperson
IN RE: PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION – FOOD AND BEVERAGE SERVICES POSITION CREATIONS AND TRANSFERS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County Parks & Recreation strives to be recognized as a “World Class” park system that provides quality services in all areas; and
WHEREAS In the fall of 2013, Oakland County Parks & Recreation received notice that Kosch Catering would be exercising their right to terminate the operations for concessions with the required 365 day
notice; and WHEREAS the Parks and Recreation Commission’s Food & Beverage Committee decided to prepare
and issue an RFP for contracting a food and beverage consultant to assist with the evaluation of all park operations that provide food and beverage service; and
WHEREAS Global Management Amusement Professionals was chosen as that vendor; and WHEREAS Oakland County Parks & Recreation retained Global Management Amusement Professionals
to assist in developing a first-class food and beverage operation at the golf courses, campgrounds and waterparks; and
WHEREAS consultants and staff spent a number of days visiting, observing, and evaluating the food and beverage operations at all Parks & Recreation locations and have recommended to the Food & Beverage
Committee to move to self-operation of the concessions at Groveland Oaks Campground, Red Oaks Waterpark and Waterford Oaks Waterpark; and
WHEREAS the BUSINESS reasons for this recommendation are:
• Very limited number of bid responses have been received in the past
• Previous vendors were not focused on providing the best customer service and food quality,
given that their primary focus was on banquet operations, causing damage to the customer experience and image that Parks is left to repair.
• Oakland County Parks historically has only received a small amount of commission revenue from
this operation and has not been able to cover costs of providing food and beverage; with this plan we believe we can fully cover our costs and help offset some of the expenses from operating the
rest of each park.
• An investment is needed in each facility to modernize them and allow for a better customer
experience, many facilities have not been updated since they were originally built 25-30 years ago.
• With the help of experts in the field, Parks will be able to at least break even or return a respectful
net of revenue over expenses after getting established while also providing a better experience for the guests and;

FISCAL NOTE (MISC. #14242)
BY: Finance Committee, Tom Middleton, Chairperson IN RE: PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT/MSU EXTENSION – MODIFICATION OF A
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT FOR 4-H YOUTH DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR POSITIONS AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING SERVICES
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. Over the past few years MSUE has assessed their mission and developed a new organizational structure they feel will best service the public in the future, while containing costs.
2. In Miscellaneous Resolution #13250 the MSU Extension Division-Oakland County left one position vacant for a one year trial to develop a professional services contract for one 4-H Youth
Development Coordinator and because this trial was successful, the division wishes to extend the professional services contract to include FY 2015-2017.
3. Also due to the successful trial, an additional County-funded 4-H Youth Development Program Coordinator position (#1070501-02170) in MSU Extension Division/Public Services-Oakland
County is proposed to remain vacant in order to contract an additional MSUE provided 4-H Youth Development Coordinator and this contract position would be good for FY 2015-2017.
4. The professional services contract will also include Educational Programming services provided by MSUE.
5. The professional services contract term will be 10/01/2014 through 09/30/2017, with a not-to-exceed amount of $580,680. The MSU 4-H Youth Development services for the two Program
Coordinator positions total $395,550 for FY 2015-FY 2017 ($127,000 for FY 2015, $131,000 for FY 2016, and $137,550 for FY 2017). Educational Programming services total $185,130 for FY
2015-2017 ($61,710 per year). 6. The FY 2015 savings for contracting the two (2) 4-H Youth Development Program Coordinators’
services is $8,100 which represents the difference in cost between the County’s two (2) 4-H Youth Development Program Coordinator positions (#1070501-01787 and #1070501-02170) of
$135,100 and the cost of contracting the service from MSUE at $127,000. The FY 2016 savings and the FY 2017 savings are $6,199 and $718 respectively.
7. The two (2) Oakland County 4-H Youth Development Program Coordinator positions (#1070501-01787 and #1070501-02170) will remain vacant through the term of the professional services
contract. 8. The professional services contract has been reviewed and approved by the Oakland County
Compliance Office in accordance with Oakland County Purchasing Policies and Procedures. 9. The following budget amendment is recommended to the FY 2015-2017 Budget:

IN RE: CIRCUIT COURT/FRIEND OF THE COURT – CREATION OF FRIEND OF THE COURT REFEREE POSITION
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. Circuit Court will reinstate the nineteenth Circuit Court Judge effective January 1, 2015 and as a result, the Friend of the Court (FOC) has determined a need to create an additional FOC Referee
for special caseload enforcement services. 2. The FOC has proposed a plan delete one (1) special revenue, full-time eligible Domestic Support
Specialist (#3010404-09726) and one (1) special revenue, full-time eligible Account Clerk II (#3010404-02806) to assist in offsetting the County’s portion to create one (1) special revenue,
full-time eligible FOC Referee (3010404-New). 3. There is a one-time renovation cost for a new hearing room in order to house the new FOC
Referee. The project cost is $28,731 and it includes $3,748 for contingency. 4. The position changes and one-time project costs will result in an overall savings in the Friend of
the Court Cooperative Reimbursement Program of $5,410 in FY 2015 and $44,954 in FY 2016 and FY 2017. The position changes and one-time project costs will result in General Fund
