IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – AUDIT OF COLLECTION AND REMITTANCE OF EMERGENCY 911 FEES BY COMMUNICATION SERVICE PROVIDERS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS an effective and reliable 911 system is critical to protect the health and safety of every person in Oakland County and the State of Michigan; and
WHEREAS the expansion of wireless communication usage has increased the need for enhanced 911 technology that allows 911 dispatchers to receive detailed information about the specific physical location
of a caller in an emergency; and WHEREAS 911 fees provide for the installation, operation, modification, and maintenance of universal
emergency 9-1-1 service systems throughout Michigan; and WHEREAS all communication service suppliers that provide a communication service to a service user in
the State of Michigan must bill and collect state and county 911 charges; and WHEREAS communication services, as defined by law, include any service capable of accessing,
connecting with, or interfacing with a 911 system - including a local telephone device, cellular telephone device, wireless communication device, interconnected voice over the internet device; and
WHEREAS retailers of prepaid wireless telecommunication services are required by law to collect state and county 911 charges for each transaction; and
WHEREAS a February 2012 report issued by the Auditor General of Michigan “determined that approximately $4.7 million and $7.3 million of emergency 9-1-1 service charge revenue may not have
been remitted by service suppliers for fiscal years 2008-09 and 2009-10, respectively”; and WHEREAS the 2012 Auditor General report also found “the Department of Treasury's emergency 9-1-1
Database indicated that only 181 (72%) service suppliers were actually remitting service charge revenue”; and
WHEREAS state regulators lack the authority to audit service providers to ensure fees are being collected and remitted properly; and
WHEREAS the Auditor General has recommended that the Michigan State Police and Department of Treasury “should pursue amendatory legislation and other measures necessary to ensure that all service
suppliers collect and remit all emergency 9-1-1 service charge revenue”; and WHEREAS according to statistics provided by the FEC, the number of wireless subscriptions in Michigan
is now in excess of 10.1 million and 2.8 landlines are still in use; and WHEREAS while the net number of connections have increased, state and county 911 fee revenues have
not kept pace; and WHEREAS the lack of sufficient oversight of the collection of 911 fees by communication service
providers constitutes a failure to ensure these funds are being properly collected and remitted. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners calls upon the
Michigan Legislature to adopt legislation granting authority to state regulators to investigate and audit the collection and distribution of 911 fees by communication service providers.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners calls upon the Michigan Association of Counties to take a leadership role in advancing this needed legislation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the County of Oakland is directed to submit a copy of this resolution to the Office of the Governor, Senate Majority and Minority Leaders, the House Speaker and
Minority Leader, the Michigan Association of Counties and members of the Oakland County delegation to the Michigan Legislature.

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

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, 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, 2015, 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 2015 Collection Account established in Section 6 hereof. 2015 Collection Account
6. There is hereby established as part of the Fund an account (hereby designated the "2015 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, 2015, or such later date as determined by the County Treasurer, 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.
Note Reserve Fund 7. There is hereby authorized to be established by the County Treasurer a note reserve fund for the
notes (the "2015 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 2015 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 2015 Collection Account and the 2015 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 2015 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 2015 Collection Account and the 2015 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 2015 Collection Account 10. Upon the investment of moneys in the 2015 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 2015 Collection Account

due for any year or for any other purpose permitted by law. Sale of Notes

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

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, 2018, 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 2015 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

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 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

Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 6, 2015
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
incurred by the Authority (as determined by the Authority) as a consequence of the County's default. Such additional interest shall be payable on the interest payment date following demand of the Authority. In the
event that (for reasons other than the default in the payment of any municipal obligation purchased by the Authority) the investment of amounts in the reserve account established by the Authority for the bonds of
the Authority issued to provide funds to purchase this bond fails to provide sufficient available funds (together with any other funds that may be made available for such purpose) to pay the interest on
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 periodically will 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. 34, Public Acts of 2001, as amended) and a
bond authorizing resolution adopted by the Board of Commissioners of the County (the "Resolution") and an order of the Water Resources Commissioner of the County, as County Agency, for the purpose of
defraying part of the cost of acquiring, constructing, and installing water supply system facilities to improve the County’s City of Pontiac Water Supply System (the "System").
The County has authorized the net revenues derived from users of the System to be used to pay
the principal of and interest on this bond when due. In addition, the County has irrevocably pledged its full faith and credit for the prompt payment of the principal of and interest on this bond as the same become
due. In the event and to the extent that the net revenues derived from users of the System are not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on this bond, such principal and interest are payable as a first
budget obligation of the County from its general funds. The ability of the County to raise such funds is subject to applicable statutory and constitutional limitations on the taxing power of the County. The
amount of taxes necessary to pay the principal of and interest on this bond, together with the taxes levied for the same year, shall not exceed the limit authorized by law.
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
so authenticated and delivered shall be in any denomination not exceeding the aggregate principal amount for each maturity.
The bond registrar and paying agent shall not be required to transfer or exchange this bond or
any portion of this bond that has 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
266
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 6, 2015
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 Mellon 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 this bond, 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 this bond, does not exceed any constitutional or statutory limitation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the County of Oakland, State of Michigan, by its Board of
Commissioners, has caused this bond to be executed in its name by the manual or facsimile signatures of its Chairperson of the Board of Commissioners and County Clerk and its seal (or a facsimile thereof) to be
impressed or imprinted hereon. This bond shall not be valid unless the Certificate of Authentication has been manually executed by the bond registrar and paying agent or an authorized representative of the

Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 6, 2015
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 Open Market 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

certified to its DTC account or to arrange for another securities depository to maintain custody of certificates evidencing the Open Market Bonds.

respectively, to DTC as provided in the Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations between DTC and the County, and the County Treasurer and the County Agency are each authorized to sign
such additional documents as such officer deems necessary or appropriate in order to accomplish the issuance of the Open Market Bonds in accordance with law and this Resolution.

Market Bonds. The request for proposal shall be in the form approved by the County Agency. The financial consultant is hereby designated to act for and on behalf of the County Agency to receive

determine the low proposer on the Open Market Bonds and to award the Open Market Bonds to such low proposer. The County Agency is hereby authorized to do all other things necessary to
effectuate the sale, issuance, delivery, transfer and exchange of the Open Market Bonds in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution.
22. OFFICIAL STATEMENT. The County Agency and the County Treasurer are each authorized to cause the preparation of an official statement for the Open Market Bonds for the purpose of
enabling compliance with Rule 15c2-12 issued under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Rule") and to do all other things necessary to enable compliance with the Rule.
After the award of the Open Market Bonds, 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 bidder or bidders to comply with paragraphs (b)(3) and (b)(4) of the Rule and the rules of the Municipal Securities

County, constituting an undertaking to provide ongoing disclosure about the County for the benefit of the holders of the Open Market Bonds as required under paragraph (b)(5) of the Rule,
and amendments to such certificate from time to time in accordance with the terms of the 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.
24. SECURITY. The net revenues derived from the users of the System have previously been pledged for the payment of principal and interest on the County's City of Pontiac Water Supply
System Improvements Bonds, Series 2014 (the "Series 2014 Bonds") and the City of Pontiac's Water Supply System Revenue Bonds, Series 2010 (the "Series 2010 Bonds" and together with
the Series 2014 Bonds, the "Prior Bonds"), in accordance with the provisions of the City of Pontiac Water Supply System Contract dated as of April 19, 2012 between the County and the
City of Pontiac, and are pledged for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds on a parity basis with the Prior Bonds. The Bonds shall also be limited tax general obligations of the
County. 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. Each year the County shall be
obligated, as a first budget obligation, to advance moneys from its general funds or to levy ad valorem property taxes on all taxable property within its corporate boundaries to pay such
principal and interest as the same become due in the event and to the extent that the net revenues derived from the users of the System are not sufficient to make such payment. The
ability of the County to raise funds to pay such amounts is subject to applicable constitutional and statutory limitations on the taxing power of the County. Nothing in this section 24 shall preclude
the County from issuing revenue bonds pursuant to Act 94, Public Acts of Michigan, 1933, as amended, or additional bonds pursuant to Act 34 to pay the costs of further improvements to the
System and pledging the net revenues derived from the users of the System for the payment of such bonds on a parity basis with the Prior Bonds and the Bonds.

for and estimated cost of the Project in the amount of $12,000,000 are hereby approved and adopted.
26. EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF BONDS. Any Bond, at the option of the registered owner thereof and 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, 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 Bond 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 [insert applicable date]."
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 sections 3 and 13 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.
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.
27. TAX COVENANT. The County covenants to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") 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.
28. 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 and
interest on a series of the Bonds, shall have been deposited in trust, this Resolution shall be defeased and the owners of such series of Bonds shall have no further rights under this
Resolution except to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such series of Bonds from the cash or securities deposited in trust and the interest and gains thereon and to transfer
and exchange such series of Bonds as provided herein.

29. REPLACEMENT OF BONDS. Upon receipt by the County Treasurer of proof of ownership of an 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 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. 30. APPROVAL OF MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY – EXCEPTION FROM PRIOR
APPROVAL. The issuance and sale of the Bonds shall be subject to the County obtaining qualified status or prior approval from the Department of Treasury of the State of Michigan
pursuant to Act 34, Public Acts of Michigan, 2001, as amended ("Act 34"), and, if necessary, the County Treasurer and County Agency are each hereby authorized and directed to make
application to the Department of Treasury for approval to issue and sell the Bonds as provided by the terms of this Resolution and by Act 34. The County Treasurer and County Agency are
authorized to pay any filing fees required in connection with obtaining qualified status or prior approval from the Department of Treasury. The County Treasurer and County Agency are further
authorized to request such waivers of the requirements of the Department of Treasury or Act 34 as necessary or desirable in connection with the sale of the Bonds.

WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners created the Tri-Party Road Improvement Fund in the 1970’s to assist local communities and the Road Commission for Oakland County in the repair and
construction of roadways under their respective jurisdictions; and WHEREAS Oakland County is one of only three counties in the state to offer this assistance; and
WHEREAS the Tri-Party Road Improvement program leverages the county investment in infrastructure improvements by requiring equal funding support from local municipalities and the Road Commission;

making over $60 million in investment in local transportation need possible; and WHEREAS the Tri-Party Road Improvement program allows local leaders to choose projects they believe
would have the greatest benefit in their community; and WHEREAS the Tri-Party Road Improvement is not meant to replace or relieve the responsibility for road
funding, which lies with the State Legislature and Governor; and WHEREAS chronic underfunding of road repairs by the State of Michigan has resulted in poor conditions

improve the poor road conditions in local communities; and WHEREAS an assessment of the Tri-Party Road Improvement program may provide an opportunity to

beliefs; and WHEREAS vaccines have reduced and, in some cases, eliminated many diseases that killed or severely
disabled people just a few generations ago; and WHEREAS high levels of vaccination can create “herd protection”, shielding children that cannot receive

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #15135 BY: Commissioners Michael Gingell, District #1; Dave Woodward, District #19
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - ROAD COMMISSION FOR OAKLAND COUNTY - APPROPRIATION OF ONE-TIME FUNDING FOR PURCHASE OF CAPITAL ASSETS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) has jurisdiction over more than 2,700 miles of county roads and has the largest county road system in the state; and
WHEREAS the RCOC receives a majority of its funding from state-collected gas tax and vehicle registration fees under the formula set forth in Michigan Public Act 51 of 1951; and
WHEREAS maintenance on roads under the jurisdiction of the RCOC is funded primarily from revenues received pursuant to Act 51; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners recognizes the responsibility for road funding resides solely with the State Legislature and Governor; and
WHEREAS the Road Commission for Oakland County’s (RCOC) Financial Plan for Fiscal Years 2015-2017 indicates that both state-collected and federal road funding sources remain inadequate to meet
RCOC’s needs; and WHEREAS during the Great Recession of 2007 through 2012 the decline in state and federal road
funding forced RCOC to reduce its investment in the capital equipment essential to perform necessary road maintenance and preservation activities; and
WHEREAS due to the aging of its equipment it is necessary for the RCOC to replace 12 Tandem Dump Trucks with accessories and to purchase 3 John Deere Motor Graders in FY 2015 at a cost of over
$3,800,000; and WHEREAS the use of scarce revenues to purchase needed equipment lessens the ability of the RCOC to
address the on-going pothole issues facing roads throughout Oakland County; and WHEREAS a one-time FY 2015 appropriation of Oakland County general funds in the amount of
$2,000,000 to assist the RCOC in the purchase of essential capital equipment that will be used throughout the cities, villages and townships in the county would allow the RCOC to use more of its Act
51 dollars to better maintain road surfaces and repair the worst potholes; and WHEREAS the County’s prudent financial management throughout the Great Recession and continuing
through today allows the County to make an investment in RCOC capital equipment without degrading the County’s overall financial plan that has achieved a budget balanced for Oakland County through FY
2020; and WHEREAS in partnership with the Oakland County Board of Commissioners the County Executive
proposes providing a one-time funding to the RCOC in the amount of $2,000,000 for Fiscal Year 2015 to help support the RCOC’s purchase of dump trucks and motor graders.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners approves the one-time appropriation of $2,000,000 to the Road Commission for Oakland County in Fiscal Year 2015 to
be used to purchase motor graders and dump trucks essential for the proper maintenance and repair of highways and roads under the supervision of the Road Commission for Oakland County.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners requires that the $2,000,0000 RCOC would have spent on the needed motor graders and dump trucks, be immediately
transferred and restricted to pot hole repair and emergency road repair situations.
282
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 6, 2015
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the RCOC shall provide a report to the General Government and Finance Committees of this Board regarding the specific equipment that is purchased with this one-time
funding provided by the County of Oakland. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing Resolution.
