WHEREAS the Court in Civil Action No. 77-71100 issued an Order Re Service Contract Amend-
ments dated April 15, 1982 requiring the parties to amend their contracts as aforesaid,
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and covenants herein made, the parties
hereto agree that the existing contracts between them dated November 1, 1962 and December 1, 1962
shall be amended as follows, but except as provided herein the existing contracts remain in full
force and effect:
1. The COUNTY shall pay the BOARD for sewage treatment and disposal service at such rates
as the BOARD may establish from time to time The BOARD shall review the rates annually and shall
adjust them as may be necessary to maintain a proportionate distribution of costs among user classes,
and to generate sufficient revenue to pay the total costs of the sewage system. Rate adjustments
shall be determined according to the following principles:
A. Revenue Requirements. Revenue requirements shall be based upon the finances
required to meet all operating, maintenance, capital requirements including debt
financing and coverage, and any obligations imposed by law, and shall reflect not
only recent cost experience but also a recognition of the reasonably estimated
future cost levels during the period for which the rates are being established.
(1) Operating and maintenance expenses of the system.
(a) Operating and maintenance expenses shall include replacement of process equipment,
accessories, or appurtenance which are necessary to maintain the capacity and performance for which
the treatment works is designed and constructed.
(b) The rate for operation and maintenance expenses, including replacement, shall
include a factor to be applied to the volume of sewage delivered by the COUNTY, and shall also in-
clude surcharges to be applied to the discharges of individual users whose loadings of specified
pollutants exceed normal loadings. The BOARD shall specify the pollutants to be surcharged, and
shall define normal loadings of these pollutants. The rate shall conform to Section 204(b) (1) (A)
of Public Law 92-500, as amended, and regulations of the United States Evnironmental Protection Agency
(hereinafter referred to as the U.S. EPA), being 40 CFR, 35.929 through 35.929-3.
(2) Maximum Debt Financing. The BOARD shall obtain capital funds for the expansion,
renewal and reconstruction of common use or solely suburban use major capital assets or improvements
from the issuance of revenue bonds, to the maximum extent possible together with maximum use of
coverage monies generated thereby. "Coverage" means the excess of revenues required to meet the
coverage test over revenue requirements determined without respect to the coverage test. "Coverage
Test" means the requirement imposed by Section 10 of Ordinance 517-E of the City of Detroit which
provides that in the year of issuance of revenue bonds of standing equal to those presently out-
standing, estimated net revenues shall be equal to at least one and one-half (1 1/2) times the
largest amount of combined principal and interest to fall due in any future operating year on any
bonds then payable out of the net revenues of the system, including such additional bonds then being
issued. Detroit shall apply the principle of maximum debt financing set forth herein consistent with
an interpretation of the additional bonds test which incorporates the following principles:
(a) Estimated investment income of the DW5D will not be included in determining revenues.
(b) Future operating and maintenance expenses estimated to result from the addition
of capital facilities for which bonds are issued, shall be included as an expense in determining net
revenues only with respect to the periods in which it is reasonably estimated that they will be in-
curred. The parties acknowledge that Detroit can comply with the additional bonds test by setting
future rates sufficient to defray estimated future operation and maintenance expenses in the periods
in which they will be incurred.
(3) Depreciation. User charges shall not reflect a charge for the depreciation of physical
assets, which together with a rate of return and provision for operation and maintenance expense
would generate revenues in excess of system revenue requirements including coverage.
B. Uniform Allocations of Costs Incurred. The recovery of costs incurred by the system
shall be accomplished through the institution of rates which assign, allocate and apportion such
costs to all ratepayers on the basis of principles uniformly applicable to all, it being the in-
tention of the parties that such rates (whether designed on the utility or cash basis) will, as
21
Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 3, 1983
nearly as is practical, recover from each customer class the respective costs of providing service
regardless of the ratepayer's location. In particular:
(I) If rates are based upon a system of charging a percentage rate of return on net
asset or capital structure rate base, (through the use of the so-called utility basis of rate making)
there shall be no differential in the rate of return charged to customers residing or located within
the City of Detroit and customers residing or located without the City of Detroit. Nothing herein
contained shall prohibit the BOARD from designing its rates on the so-called cash basis.
(2) If rates for the transportation charge to customers served by the Oakland-Macomb
interceptor are based upon the utility basis with a percentage rate of return, such rate of return
shall be the same as the rate of return charged to other customers of the system. Nothing contained
herein shall prohibit the BOARD from employing the cash basis of ratemaking, including ratemaking
for customers served by the Oakland-Macomb interceptor. "Transportation Charge" means the aggregate
of all costs assigned or allocated to contracting parties served by the Macomb-Oakland interceptor
which are not costs incurred for service in common with other customers, including all costs of
operation and maintenance, depreciation, and, to the extent rates are based on a rate of return or
other charge based on plant value, the cost resulting from apolication of such charge or rate to the
inceptor and related equipment.
(3) Should the cash basis be used in any future rate study, the allocation of debt
service costs to all customers or facilities shall be based upon the system weighted average interest
rate at the time.
(4) Surcharges shall be utilized to recover incremental operating, maintenance and
replacement costs incurred in treating sewage which, at the point of discharge, contains specified
pollutants in concentrations exceeding those of normal domestic sewage, as defined by the BOARD.
(5) All costs other than those costs recovered by surcharges as herebefore set forth,
may be recovered by volume alone, or by volume and surcharges, or by any method which provides a dis-
tribution of costs reasonably related to the service provided.
C. Following the computation of rates for customers residing or located within the City
of Detroit and customers residing or located without the City of Detroit pursuant to the principles
set forth in this contract, such rates shall be further adjusted by deducting from the revenues to
be charged customers within the City of Detroit and adding to the revenues to be charged customers
without the City of Detroit, and making appropriate adjustments of the rates for sewage service to
be charged to such customers, an amount determined as follows:
(1) For the fiscal year 1981 (July 1, 1980 through June 30, I981), such amounts
shall be the sum of $1,102,500. For each fiscal year thereafter, such amount shall be increased by
5%, determined upon a compounded basis. For example, the amount for fiscal 1982 shall be the sum
of $1,157,625. For fiscal 1983, this amount shall be the sum of $1,215,506, and similarly for
succeeding fiscal years.
(2) This payment shall be made, and rates so adjusted as a payment to reflect the
cost of indirect benefits or services provided by the City of Detroit to the BOARD for common use
facilities within the City of Detroit, such as police and fire protection, the risk of tort lia-
bility, the loss of tax base that the City loses as a result of the BOARD's tax exemption, and the
fact that the suburbs receive sewage treatment without having to devote any of their land to a tax
free utility.
(3) In the event that the City of Detroit shall at any time hereafter render billings
or accounting statements for indirect services to the BOARD such as police and fire protection, risk
of tort liability, loss of tax base or any other type of contribution in lieu of taxes with the
effect that such billings or statements become part of the BOARD budget for ratemaking purposes,
then the amount of such charges allocated or apportioned to the contracting customers shall be deducted
from the amount determined pursuant to subsection 5.C.(1) above, and shall in no event exceed the
amount determined pursuant to subsection 5.C.(1) above.
D. The amount charged to the suburbs for payment for indirect benefits and services set
forth in paragraph 5.(c) above shall be allocated among suburban customers in the same manner in
which treatment costs are allocated.
E. The BOARD may continue to include in its rates charges for direct services which the
City currently renders and bills to the BOARD. Such "direct services" shall be limited to the kind
of services historically provided by offices, department or agencies of the City of Detroit such as
various kinds of licenses and permits, electricity, steam, water, paving, vehicles, and rubbage
pickup; the Ombudsman, the cost of which will be allocated between the customers with the City of
Detroit and the customers without the City of Detroit based upon the proportionate number of com-
plaints or inquiries by each such class of customers; and those which were included in the BOARD's
budget for fiscal 1978.
No additional charges may be made for "direct services" provided by other or additional
City offices, departments and/or agencies without the prior agreement of the contracting parties.
Such agreement shall not be unreasonably denied or delayed should it appear that the particular
service or services result in a legitimate, direct benefit to the system and its customers.
F. Whenever the BOARD shall undertake any study which may result in the revision of rates, ,
including any study relating to industrial cost recovery charges, user charges, or other
matters relating to the requirements of P.L. 92 -500, 33 U.S.C.A. 1251 et seq. as amended, it shall
notify the appropriate agents of Oakland, Wayne and Macomb Counties, and its other contract customers
Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 3, 1983 22
• of such study, and shall, during the course of any such study, make available, upon request, to such
contract customers, their agents, consultants and attorneys, any interim or preliminary reports and
final reports prepared in the course of such study.
In conjunction with furnishing the aforesaid reports, the City of Detroit and its
consultants at the request of the contracting parties will have a conference with the contracting
parties and representatives in order to explain and discuss the reports being provided. The re-
questing party shall reimburse the BOARD for any out-of-pocket costs incurred in meeting such re- _ quest. Nothing contained herein shall require the City of Detroit to undertake any activity which
may impede it in complying with the requirements of the consent judgment dated September 14, 1977
or other orders of the Court entered pursuant to P.L. 92-500, 33 U.S.C.A. 1251, et seq, as amended.
In addition, such presentation will be done in a manner, place, and time mutually convenient to all
of the parties involved including the City of Detroit's consultants.
2. The COUNTY agrees that it shall adopt and enforce, and shall cause each of the local
governmental units within its jurisdiction for sewage treatment anc disposal service as provided
by the BOARD to adopt and enforce, rules and regulations to implement and maintain a revenue system
whereby, as a minimum, the operation, maintenance and replacement portion of the BOARD's rates are
distributed proportionately to each user or user class that is tributary to the BOARD's treatment
works. In particular, these rules and regulations shall provide that surcharges established by the
BOARD for the recovery of incremental operation, maintenance and replacement costs of treating
extraordinary concentrations of sewage, shall be billed to and collected from individual firms as
identified by the BOARD in its billings. These rules and regulations shall conform to Section 204(b)
(1)(A) of Public Law 92-500, as amended, and regulations of the United States Environmental Pro-
tection Agency (hereinafter referred to as the U.S. EPA), being 40 CFR, 35.929 through 35.929-3,
and shall achieve a proportionate User Charge System which is effective throughout the BOARD's
service area. The rules and regulations shall provide for monitoring of commercial, governmental
and industrial users and shall be consistent with the monitoring rules and regulations of the City
of Detroit. The Board shall have the right under said rules and regulations to audit all monitoring
activities including the right to perform monitoring tests itself to verify the accuracy of monitoring
results.
3. The COUNTY agrees that it shall adopt and enforce, and shall cause each of the local
governmental units within its jurisdiction for sewage treatment and disposal service as provided by
the BOARD to adopt and enforce, rules and regulations pertaining to the use, design and construction
of sewers, and the discharge of industrial or commercial wastes into sewers, where such sewers are
tributary to the BOARD's treatment works. Such rules and regulations shall be consistent with and
at least as stringent as all applicable provisions of the pertinent ordinances adopted by the City
of Detroit, these being the 1979 amendments to Chapter 56, Article 1, and Chapter 56, Article 6,
of the Municipal Code of the City of Detroit as they may be adopted and amended from time to time.
In the event any municipality or other governmental unit shall fail to adopt an ordinance as re-
quired herein, or shall fail to diligently enforce the same, the BOARD shall take appropriate action
which may include suit in an appropriate court of general jurisdiction alleging such municipality's
failure to adopt or enforce an ordinance, and following a hearing on the merits, should the court
find that the allegations in the BOARD's petition are true, it is agreed that such court may, in such
instance, grant appropriate injunctive relief against said municipality or any individual discharger
there; terminate the municipality's contractual right to discharge waste waters into the BOARD's
system and/or to grant the BOARD such other relief as may be appropriate under the circumstances.
These actions shall enable the BOARD to:
A. Deny or condition new or increased contributions of pollutants or changes in the
nature of pollutants, to the waste collection system by Industrial and Commercial Users. The terms
"Industrial and Commercial" user shall mean those users defined in Section 56-6-3(H) and (P) of
Detroit Ordinance No. 353-H of Chapter 56 of Article 6 passed on November 7, 1979 and as may be
attended from time to time.
B. Require compliance with applicable current and future National Pretreatment
Standards and other more restrictive requirements as may be imposed by the BOARD promulgated by
the U.S. EPA under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.
C. Control, through permit, contract order, or similar means, the contribution to
the waste collection system by Industrial and Commercial Users to ensure compliance with paragraph
B above.
D. Require the development of compliance schedules by Industrial and Commercial
Users for the installation and facilities required to meet applicable National Pretreatment Standards
and other more restrictive requirements as may be imposed by the BOARD.
E. Require thesubmission of notices and self-monitoring reports from Industrial and
Commercial Users to assess and assure compliance with National Pretreatment Standards and other more
restrictive requirements as may be imposed by the BOARD.
F. Carry out all inspection, surveillance and monitoring procedures necessary to
determine, independent of information supplied by Industrial and Commercial Users, compliance or non-
compliance with applicable National Pretreatment Standards and other more restrictive requirements
as may be imposed by the BOARD. It being further understood that the Board may contract with quali-
fied parties to carry out the inspection, surveillance and monitoring procedures of this paragraph.
G. Seek injunctive relief for noncompliance with National Pretreatment Standards and
other more restrictive requirements as may be imposed by the BOARD.

1. Paragraph 2 of the November 1, 1962 agreement is hereby deleted and replaced by the
following new paragraph number 2:
2. The County shall pay the DWSD for any and all sewage accepted by the DWSD for dis-
posal hereunder in the manner set forth below:
A. The annual charge for sewage disposal shall be composed of two elements:
(a) Sanitary flow - The actual reported water sales for the 14 municipalities
within the district.
(b) Estimated non-sanitary or residual flow - A figure determined by the simple
arithmetic average of the annual residual flow for each of the most recent 10 years. The annual
residual flow results from subtracting the annual reported water sales from the annual actual
sewage volume as measured by the master sewage meter serving the district.
B. The charge for sewage disposal services shall be formulated in the following manner:
(a) The sanitary flow element - The district will report water sales within the
district for the 14 municipalities each quarter. The reported water safes multiplied by the metered
suburban sewage rate, as determined by the rate model, will be the quarterly charge. The total of
the four quarterly charges will represent the total amount due from the district for sanitary flow
for the rate year. Remittance and report of quarterly water sales would be submitted to the DWSD
45 days after the end of each quarter.
(b) Estimated non-sanitary or residual flow - The simple arithmetic average of the
ten year non-sanitary or residual flow multiplied by the metered suburban sewage rate as determined
by the rate model will be the annual amount due from the district for the estimated non-sanitary or
residual flow. Remittance of one-fourth of the annual amount will be submitted to the city 45 days
after the end of each quarter.

Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 3, 1983
C. The DWSD shall determine the rate for sewage disposal services utilizing pro-
jections of sanitary and estimated non-sanitary or residual flow in a rate model for cost allo-
cation. The projections for sanitary flow and estimated non-sanitary or residual flow will be
based upon the following:
(a) Sanitary flow - DWSD will project sanitary flow based upon a projection of the
volume of water sales within the district determined in a manner consistent with that employed for
all unmetered suburban customers.
(b) Estimated non-sanitary or residual flow - DWSD will project the estimated non-
sanitary or residual flow based Joon the simple arithmetic average of the annual non-sanitary or
residual flow for the most recent ten year period.
D. Adjustments - The County and the City agree that they will cooperate and work to-
gether in attempting to agree upon an appropriate adjustment, if any, to the County's estimated non-
sanitary or residual flow representing an estimate of the volume of such flow which, when during
storm events flow exceeds the capacity of the system, is discharged into the Detroit River as storm-
water overflow, and, therefore, does not receive treatment at the DID treatment plant. Such adjust-
ment, if any, and if reasonable and agreeable to the County and the City, shall be implemented com-
mencing with the fiscal year 1983 - 1984."
2. This Amendment, Number 4, Amendment Number 3, and Amendment Number 2, to the November I,
1962, Agreement shall be construed as complimentary to one another and not as being in conflict.
3. This amendment shall inure to the benefit and be binding upon the respective parties
hereto, their successors and assigns.
4. This amendment shall take effect upon its adoption and execution by the respective
parties hereto, its approval by the City Council of the City of Detroit and its approval by the
appropriate authorities of the County of Oakland.
Moved by Hobart supported by Fortino the resolution be adopted.

of Water Commissioners (hereinafter referred to as the "BOARD"), party of the first part, and the
COUNTY OF OAKLAND, a public body corporate under the laws of the State of Michigan (hereinafter
referred to as the "COUNTY"), party of the second part.
W1TNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the BOARD operates a wastewater treatment works which is composed of a sewage
treatment plant, located in the City of Detroit at 9300 West Jefferson Avenue, along with certain
appurtenant interceptors and pumping stations, located principally at various places within the
City of Detroit, but some of which are located outside the City of Detroit, which are necessary

the BOARD and the suburban communities, and the rates and charges resulting from the calculation and
allocation of costs have been the subject of litigation; and
WHEREAS in an effort to avoid further litigation about rates and charges for sewage treat-
ment and disposal service, including transportation of the sewage, the BOARD and all of the suburban
communities then under contract for such service, entered into a Settlement Agreement which was filed
in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on July 19, 1978, (herein-
after referred to as the 1978 Settlement Agreement); and

ment Agreement also requires that all service contracts shall be amended to incorporate these rate
making principles therein; and
WHEREAS an Amended Consent Judgment was entered in United States District Court Civil
Action Numbers 77-71100 and 80-71613 which required all communities and agencies under contract

WHEREAS the Court in Civil Action No. 77-71100 issued an Order Re Service Contract Amend-
ments dated April 15, 1982 requiring the parties to amend their contracts as aforesaid,
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the covenants herein made, the parties
hereto agree that the existing contracts between them dated February 5, 1968 and January 29, 1973
shall be amended as follows, but except as provided herein the existing contracts remain in full
force and effect:
I. The COUNTY shall pay the BOARD for sewage treatment and disposal service at such
rates as the BOARD may establish from time to time. The BOARD shall review the rates annually and
shall adjust them as may be necessary to maintain a proportionate distribution of costs among user
classes, and to generate sufficient revenue to pay the total costs of the sewage system. Rate ad-
justments shall be determined according to the following principles:
A. Revenue Requirements. Revenue requirements shall be based upon the finances
required to meet all operating, maintenance, capital requirements including debt financing and
coverage, and any obligations imposed by law, and shall reflect not only recent cost experience but
27
Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 3, 1983
also a recognition of the reasonably estimated future cost levels during the period for which the
rates are being established.
(1) Operating and maintenance expenses of the system.
(a) Operating and maintenance expenses shall include replacement of process equip-
ment, accessories, or appurtenances which are necessary to maintain the capacity and performance for
which the treatment works is designed and constructed.
(b) The rate for operation and maintenance expenses, including replacement, shall
include a factor to be applied to the volume of sewage delivered by the COUNTY, and shall also in-
clude surcharges to be applied to the discharges of individual users whose loadings of specified
pollutants exceed normal loadings. The BOARD shall specify the pollutants to be surcharged, and
shall define normal loadings of these pollutants. The rate shall conform to Section 204(b)(I)(A)
of Public Law 92-500, as amended, and regulations of the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (hereinafter referred to as the U.S. EPA), being 40 CFR, 35.929 through 35.929 -3.
(2) Maximum Debt Financing. The BOARD shall obtain capital funds for the expansion,
renewal and reconstruction of common use or solely suburban use major capital assets or improvements
from the issuance of revenue bonds, to the maximum extent possible together with maximum use of
coverage monies generated thereby. "Coverage" means the excess of revenues required to meet the
coverage test over revenue requirements determined without respect to the coverage test. "Coverage
Test" means the requirement imposed by Section 10 of Ordinance 517-E of the City of Detroit which
provides that in the year of issuance of revenue bonds of standing equal to those presently out-
standing, estimated net revenues shall be equal to at least one and one-half (1 1/2) times the
largest amount of combined principal and interest to fall due in any future operating year on any
bonds then payable out of the net revenues of the system, including such additional bonds then being
issued. Detroit shall apply the principle of maximum debt financing set forth herein consistent with
an interpretation of the additional bonds test which incorporates the following principles:
(a) Estimated investment income of the DWSD will not be included in determing revenues.
(b) Future operating and maintenance expenses estimated to result from the addition
of capital facilities for which bonds are issued, shall be included as an expense in determining net
revenues only with respect to the periods in which it is reasonably estimated that they will be in-
curred. The parties acknowledge that Detroit can comply with the additional bonds test by setting
future rates sufficient to defray estimated future operation and maintenance expenses in the periods
in which they will be incurred.
(3) Depreciation. User charges shall not reflect a charge for the depreciation of
physical assets, which together with a rate of return and provision for operation and maintenance
expense would generate revenues in excess of system revenue requirements including coverage.
B. Uniform Allocations of Costs Incurred. The recovery of costs incurred by the system
shall be accomplished through the institution of rates which assign, allocate and apportion such
costs to all ratepayers on the basis of principles uniformly applicable to all, it being the intention
of the parties that such rates (whether designed on the utility or cash basis) will, as nearly as is
practical, recover from each customer class the respective costs of providing service regardless of
the ratepayer's location. In particular:
(I) If rates are based upon a system of charging a percentage rate of return on net
asset or capital structure rate base, (through the use of the so-called utility basis of rate making) '
there shall be no differential in the rate of return charged to customers residing or located within ,
the City of Detroit and customers residing or located without the City of Detroit. Nothing herein
contained shall prohibit the BOARD from designing its rates on the so-called cash basis.
(2) If rates for the transportation charge to customers served by the Oakland-Macomb
interceptor are based upon the utility basis with a percentage rate of return, such rate of return
shall be the same as the rate of return charged to other customers of the system. Nothing contained
herein shall prohibit the BOARD from employing the cash basis of ratemaking, including ratemaking
for customers served by the Oakland-Macomb interceptor. "Transportation Charge" means the aggregate
of all costs assigned or allocated to contracting parties served by the Macomb-Oakland interceptor
which are not costs incurred for service in common with other customers, including all costs of
operation and maintenance, depreciation, and, to the extent rates are based on a rate of return or
other charge based on plant value, the cost resulting from application of such charge or rate to
the inceptor and related equipment.
(3) Should the cash basis be used in any future rate study, the allocation of debt
service costs to all customers or facilities shall be based upon the system weighted average interest
rate at the time.
(4) Surcharges shall be utilized to recover incremental operating, maintenance and
replacement costs incurred in treating sewage which, at the point of discharge, contains specified
pollutants in concentrations exceeding those of normal domestic sewage, as defined by the BOARD.
(5) All costs other than those costs recovered by surcharges as herebefore set forth,
may be recovered by volume alone, or by volume and surcharges, or by any method which provides a
distribution of costs reasonably related to the service provided.
C. Following the computation of rates for customers residing or located within the City
of Detroit and customers residing or located without the City of Detroit pursuant to the principles
set forth in this contract, such rates shall be further adjusted by deducting from the revenues to
be charged customers within the City of Detroit and adding to the revenues to be charged customers
without the City of Detroit, and making appropriate adjustments of the rates for sewage service to
28 Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 3, 1983
be charged to such customers, an amount determined as follows:
(I) For the fiscal year 1981 (July I, 1980 through June 30, 1981), such amounts
shall be the sum of $1,102,500. For each fiscal year thereafter, such amount shall be increased
by 5%, determined upon a compounded basis. For example, the amount for fiscal 1982 shall be the
sum of $1,157,625. For fiscal 1983, this amount shall be the sum of $1,215,506, and similarly for
succeeding fiscal years.
(2) This payment shall be made, and rates so adjusted as a payment to reflect the
cost of indirect benefits or services provided by the City of Detroit to the BOARD for common use
facilities within the City of Detroit, such as police and fire protection, the risk of tort lia-
bility, the loss of tax base that the City loses as a result of the BOARD's tax exemption, and the
fact that the suburbs receive sewage treatment without having to devote any of their land to a
tax free utility.
(3) In the event that the City of Detroit shall at any time hereafter render billings
or accounting statements for indirect services to the BOARD such as police and fire protection, risk
of tort liability, loss of tax base or any other type of contribution in lieu of taxes with the
effect that such billings or statements become part of the BOARD budget for ratemaking purposes,
then the amount of such charges allocated or apportioned to the contracting customers shall be de-
ducted from the amount determined pursuant to subsection 5.C.(1) above, and shall in no event exceed
the amount determined pursuant to subsection 5.C.(1) above.
D. The amount charged to the suburbs for payment for indirect benefits and services set
Forth in Paragraph 5.(c) above shall be allocated among suburban customers in the same manner in
which treatment costs are allocated.
E. The BOARD may continue to include in its rates charges for direct services which the
City currently renders and bills to the BOARD. Such "direct services" shall be limited to the kind
of services historically provided by offices, departments or agencies of the City of Detroit such as
various kinds of licenses and permits, electricity, steam, water, paving, vehicles, and rubbage pick-
up; the Ombudsman, the cost of which will be allocated between the customers within the City of
Detroit and the customers without the City of Detroit based upon the proportionate number of com-
plaints or inquiries by each such class of customers; and those which were included in the BOARD's
budget for fiscal 1978.
No additional charges may be made for "direct services" provided by other or additional
City offices, departments and/or agencies without the prior agreement of the contracting parties.
Such agreement shall not be unreasonably denied or delayed should it appear that the particular
service or services result in a legitimate, direct benefit to the system and its customers.
F. Whenever the BOARD shall undertake any study which may result in the revision of
rates, including any study relating to industrial cost recovery charges, user charges, or other
matters relating to the requirements of P.L. 92-500, 33 U.S.C.A. 1251 et seq. as amended, it shall
notify the appropriate agents of Oakland, Wayne and Macomb Counties, and its other contract customers
of such study, and shall, during the course of any such study, make available, upon request, to such
contract customers, their agents, consultants and attorneys, any interim or preliminary reports and
final reports prepared in the course of such study.
In conjunction with furnishing the aforesaid reports, the City of Detroit and its consultants
at the request of the contracting parties will have a conference with the contracting parties and
representatives in order to explain and discuss the reports being provided. The requesting party
shall reimburse the BOARD for any out-of-pocket costs incurred in meeting such request. Nothing
contained herein shall require the City of Detroit to undertake any activity which may impede it in
complying with the requirements of the consent judgment dated September 14, 1977 or other orders of
the Court entered pursuant to P.L. 92-500, 33 U.S.C.A. 1251, et seq, as amended. In addition, such
presentation will be done in a manner, place, and time mutually convenient to all of the parties in-
volved including the City of Detroit's consultants.
2. The COUNTY agrees that it shall adopt and enforce, and shall cause each of the
local governmental units within its jurisdiction for sewage treatment and disposal service as pro-
vided by the BOARD to adopt and enforce, rules and regulations to implement and maintain a revenue
system whereby, as a minimum, the operation, maintenance and replacement portion of the BOARD's
rates are distributed proportionately to each user or user class that is tributary to the BOARD's
treatment works. In particular, these rules and regulations stall provide that surcharges estab-
lished by the BOARD for tie recovery of incremental operation, maintenance and replacement costs
of treating extraordinary concentrations of sewage, shall be billed to and collected from individual
firms as identified by the BOARD in its billings. These rules and regulations shall conform to
Section 204(b)(I)(A) of Public Law 92-500, as amended, and regulations of the United States Environ-
mental Protection Agency (hereinafter referred to as the U.S. EPA), being 40 CFR, 35.929 through
35.929-3, and shall achieve a proportionate User Charge System which is effective throughout the
BOARD's service area. The rules and regulations shall provide for monitoring of commercial,
governmental and industrial users and shall be consistent with the monitoring rules and regulations
of the City of Detroit. The Board shall have the right under said rules and regulations to audit
all monitoring activities including the right to perform monitoring tests itself to verify the
accuracy of monitoring results.
3. The COUNTY agrees that it shall adopt and enforce, and shalt cause each of the local
governmental units within its jurisdiction for sewage treatment and disposal service as provided
by the BOARD to adopt and enforce, rules and regulations pertaining to the use, design and con-
struction of sewers, and the discharge of industrial or commercial wastes into sewers, where such

sewers are tributary to the BOARD's treatment works. Such rules and regulations shall be consistent
with and at least as stringent as all applicable provisions of the pertinent ordinances adopted by
the City of Detroit, these being the 1979 amendments to Chapter 56, Article 1, and Chapter 56,
Article 6, of the Municipal Code of the City of Detroit as they may be adopted and amended from time !
to time. In the event any municipality or other governmental unit shall fail to adopt an ordinance
as required herein, or shall fail to diligently enforce the same, the BOARD shall take appropriate
action which may include suit in an appropriate court of general jurisdiction alleging such munici-
pality's failure to adopt or enforce an ordinance, and following a hearing on the merits, should the
court find that the allegations in the BOARD's petition are true, it is agreed that such court may,
in such instance, grant appropriate injunctive relief against said municipality or any individual
discharger there, terminate the municipality's contractual right to discharge waste waters into the
BOARD's system and/or to grant the BOARD such other relief as may be appropriate under the circum-
stances. These actions shall enable the BOARD to:
A. Deny or condition new or increased contributions of pollutants or charges in the
nature of pollutants, to the waste collection system by Industrial and Commercial Users. The terms
"Industrial and Commercial" user shall mean those users defined in Section 56-6-3(H) and (P) of
Detroit Ordinance No. 353-H of Chapter 56 of Article 6 passed on November 7, 1979 and as may be
amended from time to time.
B. Require compliance with applicable current and future National Pretreatment Stan-
dards and other more restrictive requirements as may be imposed by the BOARD promulgated by the U.S.
EPA under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.
C. Control, through permit, contract order, or similar means, the contribution to the ,
waste collection system by Industrial and Commercial Users to ensure compliance with paragraph B above.
D. Require the development of compliance schedules by Industrial and Commercial Users
for the installation and facilities required to meet applicable National Pretreatment Standards and
other more restrictive requirements as may be imposed by the BOARD.
E. Require the submission of notices and self-monitoring reports from Industrial and
Commercial Users to assess and assure compliance with National Pretreatment Standards and other
more restrictive requirements as may be imposed by the BOARD.
F. Carry out all inspection, surveillance and monitoring procedures necessary to deter-
mine, independent of information supplied by Industrial and Commercial Users, compliance or non-
compliance with applicable National Pretreatment Standards and other more restrictive requirements
as may be imposed by the BOARD. It being further understood that the BOARD may contract with qualified
parties to carry out the inspection, surveillance and monitoring procedures of this paragraph.
G. Seek injunctive relief for noncompliance with National Pretreatment Standards and
other more restrictive requirements as may be imposed by the BOARD.
H. Require Industrial and Commercial Users to install containment facilities to pro- •
tect the treatment works from accidental spills of critical or hazardous materials.

WHEREAS the City of Detroit, acting through its Board of Water Commissioners, filed with
the U.S. District Court a Motion for Order to Show Cause why all suburban contract customers of the
Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Detroit should not be required to enter into contract
amendments containing provisions mandated by the Settlement Agreement, dated July 19, 1978; the
Amended Consent Judgment, dated August 26, 1980; and by the provisions of Public Law 92 -500 and
Public Law 95-217, applicable to user charge systems and sewer use ordinances, and a proposed
amended contract having been attached to said petition; and

WHEREAS the Court in Civil Action No. 77-71100 issued an Order Re Service Contract Amend-

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the covenants herein made, the parties
hereto agree that the existing contracts between them dated December 30, 1958 and June 13, 1963
shall be amended as follows, but except as provided herein the existing contracts remain in full
force and effect;
1. The COUNTY shall pay the BOARD for sewage treatment and disposal service at such rates
as the BOARD may establish from time to time. The BOARD shall review the rates annually and shall
adjust them as may be necessary to maintain a proportionate distribution of costs among user classes,
and to generate sufficient revenue to pay the total costs of the sewage system. Rate adjustments
shall be determined according to the following principles!
A. Revenue Requirements. Revenue requirements shall be based upon the finances re-
quired to meet all operating, maintenance, capital requirements including debt financing and coverage,
and any obligations imposed by law, and shall reflect not only recent cost experience but also a
recognition of the reasonably estimated future cost levels during the period for which the rates
are being established.
(1) Operating and maintenance expenses of the system.
(a) Operating and maintenance expenses shall include replacement of process equip-
ment, accessories, or appurtenances which are necessary to maintain the capacity and performance
for which the treatment works is designed and constructed.
(b) The rate for operation and maintenance expenses, including replacement, shall
include a factor to be applied to the volume of sewage delivered by the COUNTY, and shall also include
surcharges to be applied to the discharges of individual users whose loadings of specified pollutants
exceed normal loadings. The BOARD shall specify the pollutants to be surcharged, and shall define
normal loadings of these pollutants. The rate shall conform to Section 204(b)(1)(A) of Public Law
92-500, as amended, and regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (hereinafter
referred to as the U.S. EPA), being 40 CFR, 35.929 through 35.929-3.
33
Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 3, 1983
(2) Maximum Debt Financing. The BOARD shall obtain capital funds for the expansion,
renewal and reconstruction of common use or solely suburban use major capital assets or improvements
from the issuance of revenue bonds, to the maximum extent possible together with maximum use of
coverage monies generated thereby. "Coverage" means the excess of revenues required to meet the
coverage test over revenue requirements determined without respect to the coverage test. "Coverage
Test" means the requirement imposed by Section 10 of Ordinance 517-E of the City of Detroit which
provides that in the year of issuance of revenue bonds of standing equal to those presently out-
standing, estimated net revenues shall be equal to at least one and one-half (1 1/2) times the
largest amount of combined principal and interest to fall due in any future operating year on any
bonds then payable out of the new revenues of the system, including such additional bonds then being
issued. Detroit shall apply the principle of maximum debt financing set forth herein consistent
with an interpretation of the additional bonds test which incorporates the following principles:
(a) Estimated investment income of the DWSD will not be included in determining
revenues.
(b) Future operating and maintenance expenses estimated to result from the addition
of capital facilities for which bonds are issued, shall be included as an expense in determining net
revenues only with respect to the periods in which it is reasonably estimated that they will be in-
curred. The parties acknowledge that Detroit can comply with the additional bonds test by setting
future rates sufficient to defray estimated future operation and maintenance expenses in the periods
in which they will be incurred.
(3) Depreciation. User charges shall not reflect a charge for the depreciation of
physical assets, which together with a rate of return and provision for operation and maintenance
expense would generate revenues in excess of system revenue requirements including coverage.
B. Uniform Allocations of Costs Incurred. The recovery of costs incurred by the system
shall be accomplished through the institution of rates which assign, allocate and apportion such
costs to all ratepayers on the basis of principles uniformly applicable to all, it being the in-
tention of the parties that such rates (whether designed on the utility or cash basis) will, as
nearly as is practical, recover from each customer class the respective costs of providing service
regardless of the ratepayer's location. In particular:
(I) If rates are based upon a system of charging a percentage rate of return on net
asset or capital structure rate base, (through the use of the so-called utility basis of rate
making) there shall be no differential in the rate of return charged to customers residing or located
within the City of Detroit and customers residing or located without the City of Detroit. Nothing
herein contained shall prohibit the BOARD from designing its rates on the so-called cash basis.
(2) If rates for the transportation charge to customers served by the Oakland-Macomb
interceptor are based upon the utility basis with a percentage rate of return, such rate of return
shall be the same as the rate of return charged to other customers of the system. Nothing contained
herein shall prohibit the BOARD from employing the cash basis of ratemaking, including ratemaking
for customers served by the Oakland-Macomb interceptor. "Transportation Charge" means the aggregate
of all costs assigned or allocated to contracting parties served by the Macomb-Oakland interceptor
which are not costs incurred for service in common with other customers, including all costs of
operation and maintenance, depreciation, and, to the extent rates are based on a rate of return or
other charge based on plant value, the cost resulting from application of such charge or rate to the
inceptor and related equipment.
(3) Should the cash basis be used in any future rate study, the allocation of debt
service costs to all customers or facilities shall be based upon the system weighted average interest
rate at the time.
(4) Surcharges shall be utilized to recover incremental operating, maintenance and re-
placement costs incurred in treating sewage which, at the point of discharge, contains specified
pollutants in concentrations exceeding those of normal domestic sewage, as defined by the BOARD.
(5) All costs other than those costs recovered by surcharges as herebefore set forth,
may be recovered by volume alone, or by volume and surcharges, or by any method which provides a
distribution of costs reasonably related to the service provided.
C. Following the computation of rates for customers residing or located within the City
of Detroit and customers residing or located without the City of Detroit pursuant to the principles
Set forth in this contract, such rates shall be further adjusted by deducting from the revenues to
be charged customers within the City of Detroit and adding to the revenues to be charged customers
without the City of Detroit, and making appropriate adjustments of the rates for sewage service to
be charged to such customers, an amount determined as follows:
(I) For the Fiscal year 1981 (July 1, 1980 through June 30, 1981), such amounts shall
be the sum of $1,102,500. For each fiscal year thereafter, such amount shall be increased by 5%,
determined upon a compounded basis. For example, the amount for fiscal 1982 shall be the sum of
$1,157,625. For fiscal 1983, this amount shall be the sum of $1,215,506, and similarly for succeeding
fiscal years.
(2) This payment shall be made, and rates so adjusted as a payment to reflect the cost
of indirect benefits or services provided by the City of Detroit to the BOARD for common use facili-
ties within the City of Detroit, such as police and fire protection, the risk of tort liability, the
loss of tax base that the City loses as a result of the BOARD's tax exemption, and the fact that the
suburbs receive sewage treatment without having to devote any of their land to a tax free utility.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 3, 1983 34
(3) In the event that the City of Detroit shall at any time hereafter render billings
or accounting statements for indirect services to the BOARD such as police and fire protection, risk
of tort liability, loss of tax base or any other type of contribution in lieu of taxes with the
effect that such billings or statements become part of the BOARD budget for ratemaking purposes,
then the amount of such charges allocated or apportioned to the contracting customers shall be de-
ducted from the amount determined pursuant to subsection 5.C(1) above, and shall in no event exceed
the amount determined pursuant to subsection 5.C.(1) above.
D. The amount charged to the suburbs for payment for indirect benefits and services set
forth in Paragraph 5.(c) above shall be allocated among suburban customers in the same manner in
which treatment costs are allocated.
E. The BOARD may continue to include in its rates charges for direct services which the
City currently renders and bills to the BOARD. Such "direct services" shall be limited to the kind
of services historically provided by offices, departments or agencies of the City of Detroit such
as various kinds of licenses and permits, electricity, steam, water, paving, vehicles, and rubbage
pickup; the Ombudsman, the cost of which will be allocated between the customers within the City of
Detroit and the customers without the City of Detroit based upon the proportionate number of com-
plaints or inquiries by each such class of customers; and those which were included in the BOARD's
budget for fiscal 1978.
No additional charges may be made for "direct services" provided by other or additional
City offices, departments and/or agencies without the prior agreement of the contracting parties.
Such agreement shall not be unreasonably denied or delayed should it appear that the particular
service or services result in a legitimate, direct benefit to the system and its customers.
F. Whenever the BOARD shall undertake any study which may result in the revision of rates,
including any study relating to industrial cost recovery charges, user charges, or other matters
relating to the requirements of P.L. 92-500, 33 U.S.C.A. 1251 at seq. as amended, it shall notify
the appropriate agents of Oakland, Wayne and Macomb Counties, and its other contract customers of
such study, and shall, during the course of any such study, make available, upon request, to such
contract customers, their agents, consultants and attorneys, any interim or preliminary reports
and final reports prepared in the course of such study.
In conjunction with furnishing the aforesaid reports, the City of Detroit and its consul-
tants at the request of the contracting parties will have a conference with the contracting parties
and representatives in order to explain and discuss the reports being provided. The requesting
party shall reimburse the BOARD for any out-of-pocket costs incurred in meeting such request.
Nothing contained herein shall require the City of Detroit to undertake any activity which may im-
pede it in complying with the requirements of the consent judgment dated September 14, 1977 or
other orders of the Court entered pursuant to P.L. 92-500, 33 U.S.C.A. 1251, et seq, as amended.
In addition, such presentation will be done in a manner, place, and time mutually convenient to
all of the parties involved including the City of Detroit's consultants.
2. The COUNTY agrees that it shall adopt and enforce, and shall cause each of the local
governmental units within its jurisdiction for sewage treatment and disposal service as provided
by the BOARD to adopt and enforce, rules and regulations to implement and maintain a revenue system
whereby, as a minimum, the operation, maintenance and replacement portion of the BOARD's rates are
distributed proportionately to each user or user class that is tributary to the BOARD's treatment
works. In particular, these rules and regulations shall provide that surcharges established by
the BOARD for the recovery of incremental operation, maintenance and replacement costs of treating
extraordinary concentrations of sewage, shall be billed to and collected from individual firms as
identified by the BOARD in its billings. These rules and regulations shall conform to Section 204
(b)(1)(A) of Public Law 92-500, as amended, and regulations of the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (hereinafter referred to as the U.S. EPA), being 40 CFR, 35.929 through 35.929-3,
and shall achieve a proportionate User Charge System which is effective throughout the BOARD's
service area. The rules and regulations shall provide for monitoring of commercial, governmental
and industrial users and shall be consistent with the monitoring rules and regulations of the City
of Detroit. The Board shall have the right under said rules and regulations to audit all monitoring
activities including the right to perform monitoring tests itself to verify the accuracy of moni-
toring results.
3. The COUNTY agrees that it shall adopt and enforce, and shall cause each of the local
governmental units within its jurisdiction for sewage treatment and disposal service as provided
by the BOARD to adopt and enforce, rules and regulations pertaining to the use, design and construc-
tion of sewers, and the discharge of industrial or commercial wastes into sewers, where such sewers
are tributary to the BOARD's treatment works. Such rules and regulations shall be consistent with
and at least as stringent as all applicable provisions of the pertinent ordinances adopted by the
City of Detroit, these being the 1979 amendments to Chapter 56, Article 1, and Chapter 56, Article 6,
of the Municipal Code of the City of Detroit as they may be adopted and amended from time to time.
In the event any municipality or other governmental unit shall fail to adopt an ordinance as re-
quired herein, or shall fail to diligently enforce the same, the BOARD shall take appropriate action
which may include suit in an appropriate court of general jurisdiction alleging such municipality's
failure to adopt or enforce an ordinance, and following a hearing on the merits, should the court
find that the allegations in the BOARD's petition are true, it is agreed that such court may, in
such instance, grant appropriate injunctive relief against said municipality or any individual dis-
charger there; terminate the municipality's contractual right to discharge waste waters into the
35
Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 3, 1983
BOARD's system and/or to grant the BOARD such other relief as may be appropriate under the circum-
stances. These actions shall enable the BOARD to:
A. Deny or condition new or increased contributions of pollutants or changes in the
nature of pollutants, to the waste collection system by Industrial and Commercial Users. The terms
"Industrial and Commercial" user shall mean those users defined in Section 56-6-3(H) and (P) of
Detroit Ordinance No. 353-H of Chapter 56 of Article 6 passed on November 7, 1979 and as may be
amended from time to time.
B. Require compliance with applicable current and future National Pretreatment
Standards and other more restrictive requirements as may be imposed by the BOARD promulgated by the
U.S. EPA under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.

the waste collection system by Industrial and Commercial Users to ensure compliance with paragraph
B above.
D. Require the development of compliance schedules by Industrial and Commercial
Users for the installation and facilities required to meet applicable National Pretreatment Stan-
dards and other more restrictive requirements as may be imposed by the BOARD.
E. Require the submission of notices and self-monitoring reports from Industrial
and Commercial Users to assess and assure compliance with National Pretreatment Standards and other
more restrictive requirements as may be imposed by the BOARD.
F. Carry out all inspection, surveillance and monitoring procedures necessary to de-
termine, independent of information supplied by Industrial and Commercial Users, compliance or non-
compliance with applicable National Pretreatment Standards and other more restrictive requirements
as may be imposed by the BOARD. It being further understood that the BOARD may contract with
qualified parties to carry out the inspection, surveillance and monitoring procedures of this para-
graph.
G. Seek injunctive relief for noncompliance with National Pretreatment Standards and
other more restrictive requirements as may be imposed by the BOARD.

REPORT
By Ms. Hobart
IN RE: 1982 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PLANNING AND BUILDING COMMITTEE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
In accordance with Section "EH of Rule X of the Board Rules, your Planning and Building
Committee has made an inspection of county-owned buildings and grounds. Several tours were made
throughout the year and, in general, county facilities were found to be clean and, with few exceptions,
in good repair. Minor defects have been brought to the attention of staff for the appropriate re-
pair work and these are being addressed. The one notable exception is the Springfield-Oaks Youth
Activities Center where problems regarding the building's siding, windows and lighting systems exist.
The necessary corrective action is listed as a specific item in the 1983 Capital improvement Plan
and a recommendation will be presented to the Planning and Building Committee early in 1983.
1982 has been a productive year. The Administrative Annex II remodeling was completed in
March thereby allowing the Friend of the Court operation to expand. The second phase of the Court-
house Complex remodeling, in which vacated space was made available for the Probate-Juvenile
Division, was also completed.
In May, the 52nd District Court Building was completed in Walled Lake and occupied by the
First Division.
During the summer, the remodeling of the Treasurer's Office was completed by the Maintenance
Division. This remodeling was initiated by a proposal for a more efficient operation by the Treasurer
and resulted in a reduction of space.
Three jail-related projects were awarded in September. One of these was the conversion of
the Court Tower detention cells into an overnight holding facility for the excess jail population in
the holding area. This work was completed by the Maintenance Division in October and approved by
the Michigan Department of Corrections. The other two projects are in the jail itself and were
awarded to outside contractors. One was for the installation of improved lighting, two-way com-
munications, and a smoke detector system. The other was for converting an open-air courtyard into
an enclosed exercise area. The former is expected to be completed in February and the latter in
April of 1983.
In November, the Employment and Training Division was relocated from offices in downtown
Pontiac to other quarters within the city.
The major airport related projects include the installation of 17 1-Hangars at Oakland/
Troy and a new service entrance road at Oakland/Pontiac.
In related activities, the Facilities Engineering Division furnished environmental assess-
ments for 61 Community Development projects in 35 Oakland County communities. Construction manage-
ment services were also provided to the Parks and Recreation Commission for projects in Groveland-
Oaks and Addison Oaks.
Continued progress is being made in energy conservation. Since 1977, energy consumption
has been reduced by 32% in the facilities located on the service center. At the end of 1982, this
reduction in consumption has resulted in a cumulative savings of over $2,835,000.
The Department of Central Services was the recipient of an award for the development and
continuing operation of the Service Center. The award was presented by the American Institute
of Plant Engineers at the November 36, 1982, Board meeting and marked the first time the award was
made to a government agency.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Planning and Building Committee, I move the acceptance
of the foregoing report.

IN RE: OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED STATE INCOME TAX INCREASE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Governor Blanchard has called for a permanent increase in the State Income Tax
which would raise the rate of said tax from 4.6% to 6.1% with an additional temporary increase of
.25% as his principal program for stabilizing Michigan's budgetary problems; and
WHEREAS Governor Blanchard's proposal for a 38% increase in income tax would reportedly
give Michigan the highest flat-rate income tax in the Nation at a time when Michigan's taxpayers
are already heavily overburdened; and
WHEREAS even though the House of Representatives' amendment to the Governor's proposal
would base the income tax increase on the present unemployment rate, and would downwardly adjust
such tax rate increase as the unemployment rate reaches 92, it still does not provide the taxpayers
with any assurance that the requested tax rate increase is a temporary one.
WHEREAS previous State Budget reductions initiated by Executive Order have unduly impacted
local governments, schools and higher education.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby
urge the Legislators of the State of Michigan to pass no income tax increase measure until such time
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 17, 1983
as they have thoroughly reviewed the Governor's proposed 1983-84 State Budget recommendations.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that should the Legislature find it imperative to enact an income
tax increase, such increase should be adopted only as a temporary emergency tax rate increase which
shall terminate on, or before, December 31, 1984.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners further urges that
any temporary income tax increase passed by the Legislature should become effective as of the date
of its passage.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this resolution be sent to Governor
Blanchard, all State Legislators representing Oakland County and the County's Legislative Agent.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

OAKLAND COUNTY TRANSIT SERVICE AGREEMENT
The following is an Agreement between the Oakland County Board of Commissioners and the
Southeastern Michigan Transportation Authority iciard of Directors this 31st day of March, 1983.
I. The Oakland County Board of Commissioners expresses their support for the modifications
to the regional transportation olan that were developed through a series of discussions between Oak-
land County, other political jurisdictions and SEMTA within the last few weeks. The modifications
are contained in this agreement.
2. The SEMTA Board is authorized to advance the modifications as outlined in this agree-
ment. SEMTA shall conduct public hearings which comply with state and federal rules and regulations.
SEMTA shall hold a public hearing in Oakland County and shall not take formal action on the proposed
modifications until there is an evaluation oF all comments received at the hearing by all parties
signatory to this agreement. ';--MTA shall seek federal and state approval of the modifications. It
is agreed that any changes in the modified plan, including timetables for implementation, will be
brought back to the Oakland County Board of Commissioners for their review, consideration and formal
board action.
3. The SEMTA Board shall work cooperatively with the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
and other political jurisdictions to identify a source of funding for operation and maintenance of
the present and future transportation system. Prior to submitting proposed legislation to acquire
the authority to place a funding question before the voters of Wayne, Oakland, Macomb counties and
the City of Detroit, the SEMTA Board shall obtain approval as to the wording and goals of the de-
sired authorization from the jurisdictions involved. Further, the language of the ballot question
shall have the approval of the jurisdiction. The regional vote of the electors on the funding
question shall take place before right-of-way acquisition or the construction of any element of the
light-rail system is initiated and prior to August, 1984. In the event the referendum does not pass
in each of the four jurisdictions, right-of-way acquisition or construction of the light-rail system
shall not begin.
4. SEMTA shall restore Oakland County large bus service levels to those operating prior
to SEMTA's service cutback in March, 1982, and will expand its large bus peak vehicle fleet for
Oakland County by 65 buses to an ultimate fleet of 156 buses. Prior to the initiation of construction
of any element of the light-rail system, the SFMTA Board shall develop and the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners shall take action on a phasing plan for the restoration of large bus service levels,
implementation of transit centers and the expansion of the large bus peak vehicle fleet for Oakland
County. Further, the phasing plan shall contain the total SEMTA large bus annual miles to be provided
each year and guarantee that at full implementation those miles operated in Oakland County are greater
than or equal to 8,845,214 total SEMTA large bus annual miles.
5. SEMTA shall increase its small bus fleet assigned to Oakland County service by 63 buses
to an ultimate fleet of 107 small buses. Prior to the initiation of construction of any element of
the light-rail system, the SEMTA Board shall develop and the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
shall take action on a phasing plan for the restoration and expansion of the small bus service in
Oakland County, including the number of small bus service hours to be provided each year. Further,
the phasing plan shall guarantee that at full implementation, the annual small bus system service
hours in Oakland County will be greater than or equal to 358,800 hours.
6. SEMTA will identify locations in Novi, Farmington Hills, Southfield, Royal Oak, Troy,
Birmingham, Rochester/Avon, Pontiac/Waterford, and West Bloomfield which will serve as subregional
"transit centers." SEMTA's services in Oakland County will be focused upon these centers, and
capital investments will be made to develop the facilities necessary to accommodate the number of
people and vehicles forecast to use these centers.
7. SEMTA will develop new sets of bus services, in cooperation with Oakland County and
affected local municipalities, which will connect the transit centers of Oakland County with each
other and with the rest of the region through local and express fixed bus routes having an increasingly
east/west orientation. SEMTA will furthermore design collector bus services, with county and local
inputs, which will bring people living near transit centers to those centers.
8. SEMTA will design and build a light line from Pontiac to Detroit, with service to the
Pontiac Silverdome. Upon completion of the entire light-rail line, SEMTA will suspend service of the
Pontiac to Detroit commuter rail service. Under the modified proposal, the configuration of the
light-rail line is Pontiac to 11 Mile, Grand Trunk tracks (conducting an environmental study from
10 Mile Road north to Pontiac along the GTW Raiload right of way and utilizing the GTW Railroad tracks
1O1
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 31, 1983
to the extent feasible along Ord railroad right of way), 11 Mile to 9 Mile at grade, 8 Mile to New
Center (Grand Blvd.) elevated, and New Center (Grand Blvd.) to river, sub-surface.
9. Simultaneously with the development of the transit service improvement package for
Oakland County, SEMTA will be implementing those portions of the package which affect other portions
of the region. The most significant elements of this plan will include expanded large bus and small
bus service for Macomb County, Wayne County and Detroit; the development of transit centers in
Macomb and Wayne counties; a commuter rail line from Ann Arbor to Detroit; and a light-rail line
from Mt. Clemens to Detroit. The proposed completion schedule for the rail transit is as follows:
Woodward line - Royal Oak to the -iver 1930, Woodward line - Pontiac to Royal Oak 1990, Gratiot -
1991, and Ann Arbor, 1985. No construction of the light rail shall occur prior to a vote of the
people to fund operation of it.
10. A technical liaison committee will be created with members from Wayne, Oakland, Macomb
counties, the City of Detroit and SEMTA staff. Each of the political jurisdictions will appoint a
technical person to serve on this committee. The committee will work on a regular basis to evaluate
progress on all elements and to assure that the program is being carried out in accordance with this
agreement, and will insure a high level of two-way communications.
11. SEMTA will give strong consideration to set aside a percentage of funds or an addi-
tional request for security rather than burden local communities with that responsibility.
It is mutually understood that the program cannot be advanced until sufficient capital and
operating funds are obtained and that the proposed implementation schedule for both the bus and rail
elements of the plan is subject to change based upon the availability of these funds.
It is further understood that all elements of the plan are to be advanced simultaneously to
the extent that this is technically feasible and within the constraints of the available funding.
The Oakland County Board of Commissioners and the SEMTA Board of Directors do hereby agree
on the above outlined services improvement program for Oakland County and further agree to work
cooperatively toward the implementation of this program, including efforts to secure the additional
operating and capital funds required for implementation.

IN RE: OPPOSITION TO HOUSE BILL 4228 - STATE TAKEOVER OF COURTS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in the past the Oakland County Board of Commissioners has requested that
legislators from Oakland County oppose application to Oakland County of Act 438 of the Public
Acts of 1980, the Judicial Takeover Act; and
WHEREAS House Bill 4228 would accomplish the same objective as Act 438 and extend
takeover to the Probate and District Courts; and
WHEREAS House Bill 4228 is vague in many areas and has provisions that would be detri-
mental to judicial efficiency and to the application of innovative techniques which quicken and
improve justice while deterring increased costs; and
WHEREAS the State Department of Management and Budget has indicated that the increased
cost of this legislation to Michigan taxpayers would exceed $141 million, excluding additional
support personnel; and
WHEREAS provisions of House Bill 4228 would commandeer county property and would mandate
costs in apparent violation of Article IX of the State Constitution; and
WHEREAS there is a real danger of greater cost, fragmentation, dilution and removal of
control, less judicial expediency and loss of accountability because of the removal of incentives
to improve operations between courts; and
WHEREAS there has been no determination of any benefits to either users of the judicial
system or the taxpayers under House Bill 4228; and
WHEREAS the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court and the State Association of County Clerks have
opposed further state takeover of the courts.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners vigorously
oppose House Bill 4228.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to all legislators repre-
senting Oakland County, to the County's legislative agent, to the Michigan Association of Counties,
to the Michigan Association of County Clerks and to all other counties in Michigan.

By Mrs. Gosling
IN RE: OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED STATE INCOME TAX INCREASE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Governor Blanchard has called for a permanent increase in the State Income Tax
which would raise the rate of said tax from 4.6% to 6.1% with an additional temporary increase of
.252',, as his principal program for stabilizing Michigan's budgetary problems; and
WHEREAS Governor Blanchard's proposal for a 382 increase in income tax would reportedly
give Michigan the highest flat-rate income tax in the Nation at a time when Michigan's taxpayers
are already heavily overburdened; and
WHEREASeven though the House of Representatives' amendment to the Governor's proposal
would base the income tax increase on the present unemployment rate, and would downwardly adjust
such tax rate increase as the unemployment rate reaches 95, it still does not provide the taxpayers
with any assurance that the requested tax rate increase is a temporary one.
WHEREAS previous State Budget reductions initiated by Executive Order have unduly im-
pacted local governments, schools and higher education.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby
urge the Legislators of the State of Michigan to pass no income tax increase measure until such
time as they have thoroughly reviewed the Governor's proposed 1983-84 State Budget recommendations.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that should the Legislature find it imperative to enact an income
tax increase, such increase should be adopted only as a temporary emergency tax rate increase which
shall terminate on, or before, December 31, 1984.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners further urges that
any temporary income tax increase passed by the Legislature should become effective as of the date
of its passage.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this resolution be sent to Governor
Blanchard, all State Legislators representing Oakland County and the County's Legislative Agent.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

by the legislature; it speaks to pending legislation only.

was referred to that committee and they are now reporting it back to the Board.

WHEREAS Independence Oaks Park was acquired and developed with matching Department of
Interior, Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service funds; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission has invested some $3.5 million
dollars in the acquisition and development of the 830 acre Independence Oaks County Park; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Land Trust has notified the Oakland County Parks and Recreation
Commission indicating this property as a priority acquisition; and
WHEREAS the Edward C. Levy Company has optioned said properties for the intended use of
gravel mining operations; and
WHEREAS this proposed operation would render useless the proposed intent and goals of the
adopted wetlands legislation; and
WHEREAS the key features of this park are the present wetlands and more than 400 acres
and eight miles of trails through quiet, scenic natural beauty; and
WHEREAS the park is used by some 141,000 residents during the year; and
WHEREAS the intent of the master plan is to provide and protect a unique natural environ-

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes the
proposed use of this property for mining operations or other such use which would destroy or seriously

Mr. Chairperson, 'Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Public Act 368 of 1978 allows local health departments, with the approval of the
County Commissioners, to set monetary fines for violations of the Public Health Code; and
WHEREAS such a system is categorized as civil action as opposed to criminal action which
is presently necessary to effect corrections when the educational approach is not successful; and
WHEREAS such a system would have cost-benefit efficacy in that corrections made without
resorting to court action are always less time-consuming; and
WHEREAS a system of monetary civil fines would provide a remedy for cases which are not
imminent health hazards and not serious enough to attempt obtaining a warrant but have the poten-
tial for being health hazards ir not voluntarily corrected and those health hazards which can be
considered serious and critical; and
WHEREAS before a monetary civil fine would be assessed, every attempt would be made, as
it currently is, to effect correction by the educational approach; and
WHEREAS before assessing a monetary fine, the person in violation would be given ample
opportunity to correct the violation or the public health hazard; and
WHEREAS the person in violation would be given an opportunity to not only appeal the
initial order but also the fine itself.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby
approve an Amendment to the Oakland County Sanitary Code which establishes a system of monetary
fines for violations of that Code as attached to this resolution and made part hereof and that such

IN RE: OPPOSITION TO SENATE BILLS 4 and 5 - JAILING FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlenen;
WHEREAS Senate Bills 4 and 5 have been introduced as a package with the enactment of
either one contingent upon the enactment of the other; and
WHEREAS Senate Bill 4 would provide that a person convicted of a crime or contempt of
court and sentenced to imprisonment for a term of between one and two years may be sent to a jail
rather than to a state penal institution; and
WHEREAS under existing law a person convicted of contempt of court with a sentence of one
year or less shall be confined to a jail rather than a state institution; and
WHEREAS by permitting the placement in jails of people sentenced to two years, rather than
the present one year, Senate Bill 4 would be shifting the state's prison overcrowding problem to
local governmental units; and
WHEREAS the related bill, Senate Bill 5, provides for state reimbursement to counties for
the cost of housing prisoners who have been convicted of a felony; and
WHEREAS while Senate Bill 5 seems at first glance to be beneficial to counties, the amount
of reimbursement to counties shall be determined by the office of criminal justice; and
WHEREAS in addition to interjecting the state's judgement on what is fair cost, Senate
Bill 5 also provides that reimbursement to counties is contingent on many factors including compliance
with state statutes and rules which could be a debatable issue that would be difficult, if not im-
possible, to resolve.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes both
Senate Bill 4 and Senate Bill 5.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to all legislators repre-
senting Oakland County and to the legislative agent.

IN RE: SUPPORT OF HOUSE BILL 4061 - CANCELLATION OF ELECTOR'S REGISTRATION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS House Bill 4061 would permit a clerk to cancel an elector's registration without
notifying the elector under two specific circumstances; and
WHEREAS the first such circumstance is that the elector has been in the inactive voter file
for six years and the second is that the clerk has been notified by the Secretary of State that the
elector has been issued a driver's license in another state; and
WHEREAS the intent of House Bill 4061 is both to weed out the names of inactive or ineligible
voters and to do so without any unnecessary postage expenditure.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports House
Bill 4061.

IN RE: OPPOSITION TO SENATE BILL 142
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Senate Bill 142 would require projects funded and/or aided by the Economic Develop-
ment Corporation of a locality to pay the prevailing wage and fringe benefit rate in the area for
construction contractors and sub-contractors; and
WHEREAS the industrial and commercial enterprises that avail themselves to an Economic
Development Corporation are generally snail scale, new concerns; and
WHEREAS requiring higher wages and fringes and more red tape may well discourage the con-
struction of economic development projects and would run counter to the expressed goal of economic
development and diversification: and
WHEREAS the prevailing wage rate in Michigan is considerably higher than that of other
states and to require the higher rate would place these concerns at a competitive disadvantage to
the detriment of the Michigan economy.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes
Senate Bill 142.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the County's Legis-
lative Agent, the Michigan Association of Counties, the Michigan Chamber of Commerce, the Michigan

Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners is currently considering expansion of the Work Release
Facility from a current capacity of seventy-eight (78) to ninety-four (94) inmates in order to re-
duce the jail population; and
WHEREAS maximum utilization of this program as a sentencing option in the past has been
limited due to the requirement that inmates have to be employed; and
WHEREAS the Court Community Service Program under the direction of District Court Probation
offers an additional alternative to incarceration of non-dangerous offenders and participation in
this program does not require that offenders be employed; and
WHEREAS in order to accomplish a 20% expansion of the work release facility to meet goals
of reducing jail population and more fully utilizing existing inmate housing, the incorporation of
the Court Community Service Program Alternative is necessary; and
WHEREAS the Court Community Service Program has already experienced a 34% increase in
monthly case referral and is therefore unable to absorb any additional cases without increasing their
staff assigned to this function.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that one (1) Budgeted Probation Officer 1 position be created

WHEREAS the Prosecuting Attorney has requested the reinstatement of a Senior Trial Lawyer

WHEREAS this position though assigned to the Anti-Organized Crime Unit had primarily been
utilized in the Circuit Court Unit to bring the full complement of Attorneys for that Unit to four-
teen (14) to cover the Circuit Court bench; and
WHEREAS the deletion of the Senior Trial Lawyer position has required a reassignment of an
employee from Warrants to Circuit Court and the Department has substantiated that due to a number of
changes in legislation, interpretation of existing laws and stricter enforcement of policies, the
Warrants area can no longer function adequately with the reassignment of an employee to Circuit Court;
and
WHEREAS the above mentioned increase in the workload of the Warrants area has generated
the need for additional clerical support which the Department is able to meet with the transfer of

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that one (1) budgeted Senior Trial Lawyer position be created

Section 29, Article VII, Michigan Constitution of 1963, consent and agree to the establishment and
location of the Oakland County Project and any extension, improvement or enlargement thereof within
their respective corporate boundaries and to the use by the county of their streets, highways, alleys,
lands, rights-of-way or other public places for the purpose and facilities of the Oakland County
Project and any improvement, enlargement or extension thereof, and the municipalities further agree
that, in order to evidence and effectuate the foregoing agreement and consent, they will execute and
deliver 6D the county such grants of easement, right-of-way, license, permit or consent as may be
requested by the county.
2.A. The Oakland County Project shall consist of the interceptor sewers, capacity rights
and related facilities described and specified on Exhibit "A" and as are more particularly set forth
in the plans which have been prepared and submitted by the consulting engineers, which plans are on
file with the county agency and are hereby approved and adopted. The Oakland County Project shall
be acquired and constructed substantially in accordance with the said plans and in accordance with
final plans and specifications to be prepared and submitted by the consulting engineers, but vari-
ations therefrom which do not materially change the location, capacity or overall design of the
Oakland County Project, and which do not require an increase in the total estimated cost of the said
project, may be permitted on the authority of the county agency. Other variations or changes may be
made if approved by the county agency and by resolution of the governing bodies of the municiaplities
and if provisions required by paragraph 5 hereof are made for payment or financing of any resulting
increase in the total estimated cost. The estimate of cost of the Oakland County Project and the
estimate of period of usefulness thereof as set forth on Exhibit "B", hereunto attached and by this
reference made a part hereof, are likewise hereby approved and adopted.
2.B. The acquisition by Oakland County of capacity in the existing Act 185 System located
in Oakland County and Wayne County involves the use of the interceptor and related facilities of the
Act 185 System in the City of Novi and in Wayne County and the county and said city hereby expressly
agree to such use by the county to serve all of the municipalities party hereto. The acquisition by
Oakland County of capacity in the Huron Valley Wastewater Control System (herein called the "Wayne
County System"), and in particular in the interceptors and related facilities and in the sewage
treatment plant to be located in Wayne County as components of the Wayne County System is governed
by the terms and provisions of the Huron Valley Wastewater Control System, Financing, Construction
and Operation Contract, dated as of June 14, 1983, to which Oakland County is a party and the form
of which has been approved by the municipalities party hereto. A copy of said Contract is attached
hereto and it is sometimes referred to herein as the "Wayne Contract." The county and the munici-
palities acknowledge that the Oakland County Project is a part of the entire "System" and "Project"
described in and governed by the Wayne Contract and recognize that the terms "Local Unit" or "Local
Units" as used in said Wayne Contract include, and make the terms thereof applicable to, the munici-
palities, especially as said terms apply to Federal and State grants and other aspects of the acqui-
sition and financing of the Wayne System and the Oakland County Project.
3. The county agency shall take or cause to be taken all actions required or necessary,
in accordance with Act 342, to procure the issuance and sale of bonds by the county, in one or more
series, in whatever aggregate principal amount is necessary to be so financed to defray the total
cost of the Oakland County Project. Such bonds shall be issued in anticipation of, and be payable
from, the payments to be made by the municipalities to the county as provided in this contract, and
the said bonds shall be payable in annual maturities the last of which shall be not more than forty
years from the date thereof.
4. The county agency shall proceed to take construction bids for the portions of the Oak-
land County Project to be constructed and, subject to the sale and delivery of said bonds, enter into
construction contracts with the lowest responsible bidder or bidders, procure from the contractors
all necessary and proper bonds, cause those portions of the Oakland County Project to be constructed
within a reasonable time, and do all other things required by this contract, the Wayne Contract and
the laws of the State of Michigan. All certificates for required payments to contractors shall be
approved by the consulting engineers before presentation to the county agency and the latter shall
be entitled to rely on such approval in making payment. Acquisition of the Oakland County Project
shall be deemed to include reimbursement to the county or the municipalities for funds which have
been expended by the county or the municipalities in connection with the acquisition and construc-
tion of the said Oakland County Project and to include payments in cash to Wayne County as provided
in the Wayne Contract.
5. In the event that it shall become necessary to increase the estimated cost of the Oak-
land County Project for any reason, including application of any provisions of the Wayne Contract,
or if the actual cost of the said Oakland County Project shall exceed the estimated cost, whether as
the result of variations or changes made in the approved plans or otherwise, then (without execution
of any further contract or amendment of this contract) county bonds (upon the adoption of an autho-
rizing resolution therefor by the Board of Commissioners) shall be issued to defray such increased
204 Commissioners Minutes Continued. June 23, 1983
or excess cost, to the extent that funds therefor are not available from other sources: Provided,
however, that nu ..u(h approved awl HO' HI h incrox,ed or Jildition,11
county bonds shall be authorized to be issued, nor shall the county enter into any contract for ac-
quisition or construction of the Oakland County Project or any part thereof or incur any obligation
for or pay any item of cost therefor, where the effect thereof would be to cause the total cost of
the Oakland County Project to exceed by more than 10% the total estimated cost as hereinbefore ap-
proved, unless the governing bodies of the municipalities shall have previously adopted resolutions
approving such increase or excess and agreeing that the same (or such part thereof as is not avail-
able from other sources) shall be defrayed by the issuance of increased or additional county bonds
in anticipation of increased or additional payments agreed to be made by the municipalities to the
county in the manner hereinafter provided: Provided, further, that the adoption of such resolutions
by the governing bodies of the municipalities shall not be required prior to or as a condition pre-
cedent to the issuance of additional bonds by the county, if the county has previously issued or
contracted to sell bonds to pay all or part of the cost of the Oakland County Project and the issu-
ance of the additional bonds is necessary (as determined by the county) to pay such increased, ad-
ditional or excess costs as are essential to completion of the said Oakland County Project according
to the plans as last approved prior to the time when the previous bonds were issued or contracted to
be sold. The provisions of this paragraph are intended to be parallel to and coordinated with simi -
lar provisions in the Wayne Contract which pertain to the entire System and Project of which this
Oakland County Project is a part. As stated in the Wayne Contract, it is understood that the offers
of and the agreements for Federal and/or State grants to provide funds for the planning, design and/
or construction of the facilities of the entire System and Project as described in the Wayne Contract,
including the Oakland County Project herein described, will place upon Wayne County and thereby upon
Oakland County an obligation to complete as follows:
"It is anticipated between the parties hereto that the Project to be built shall qualify
for a segmented federal grant in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 40 §35.2108.
For purposes of financing the Project, it is anticipated that the Project shall be eligible for
federal grants with respect to Phase I, Phase II and Phase III in the amounts as noted on Table II.
The applicant, Wayne County, in accordance with the requirements of said §35.2108, agrees to com-
plete the treatment works regardless of whether or not grant funding is available for Phases II and
111, in accordance with the requirenents of said §35.2108."
6. The municipalities agree to pay to the county their respective shares of the cost of
the Oakland County Project as hereinafter provided based upon their respective rights to capacity
in the facilities of the entire System and Project in Wayne and Oakland Counties. The shares of the
cost of the Oakland County Project to be paid by the municipalities are as follows:
Share of Cost
City of Novi 45.7468%
City of Wixom 24.8168%
Charter Township of Commerce 29.4364%
Total 100.0000%
City of Novi 19.86 cfs. (including 4 cfs. in
Wayne County Rouge System)
City of Wixom 8.69 cfs.
Charter Township of Commerce 10.30 cfs.
7. The cost of the Oakland County Project will be defrayed by the issuance of county bonds
as provided in paragraphs 3 and 5 hereof. The municipalities hereby covenant and agree to pay their
respective shares of the principal of and interest on such bonds and all paying agency and transfer
fees and other expenses and charges (including the county agency's administrative expenses) which are
payable on account of said bonds (such fees, expenses and charges being herein called "bond service
charges"). Such payments shall be made to the county in annual installments which shall be due and
payable at least thirty days prior to the day of the month specified in the county bonds as the an-
nual principal maturity date thereof. Such annual installments shall be so paid in each year if any
principal or non-capitalized interest on said bonds falls due during the twelve-month period beginning
on such principal maturity date in said year, and the aggregate amount of the installments so due and
payable shall be at least sufficient to pay all principal and interest thus falling due and all bond
service charges then due and payable. The county agency shall, within thirty days after delivery of
the county bonds to the purchaser, furnish the treasurer of each municipality with a complete schedule
of the principal of and interest on the bonds, and the county agency shall also, at least thirty days
before each payment is due to be made by the municipalities, advise the treasurer of each municipality
of the amount payable to the county on such date. If a municipality fails to made any payment to the
county when due, the same shall be subject to a penalty of 1% thereof for each month or fraction
thereof that such amount remains unpaid after due. Failure of the county agency to furnish the
schedule or give the notice as above required shall not excuse the municipalities from the obli-
gation to make payments when due. Payments shall be made by the municipalities when due whether
or not the Oakland County Project has then been completed or placed in operation. The foregoing
obligations shall apply to all bonds issued by the county to defray the cost of the Oakland County
Project.
8. If any municipality shall pay its share of the cost of the Oakland County Project or
205
Commissioners Minutes Continued. June 23, 1983
any portion thereof, prior to the issuance of bonds, then the obligations of the municipalities
shall be adjusted accordingly. A municipality may pay in advance of maturity all or any part of
an annual installment due the county on the bonds by surrendering to the county bonds issued here-
under of a like principal amount maturing in the same calendar year, with all future due interest
coupons attached thereto.
9. The proceeds of sale of the bonds shall be used solely and only to pay the cost of the
Oakland County Project, and after completion thereof and payment of all costs in connection therewith,
any surplus remaining from the sale of the bonds shall be (1) used to purchase the bonds on the open
market or (2) retained by the county agency as a reserve for the payment of the bond principal and
interest maturities next falling due, and in such event the contract obligations of the municipalities
in respect to such bonds or such maturities shall be reduced by the principal amount of bonds so
purchased or of said reserve, said reduction in case of the purchase of bonds, to be applied as to
year, in accordance with the year of the maturity of the bonds so purchased. Any bonds so purchased
shall be canceled. In the alternative, such surplus may he used, on request of the municipalities
and approval by the Board of Commissioners of the county, to extend, enlarge or improve the Oakland
County Project.
10. Each municipality, pursuant to the authorization of Section 5a of Act 342, does here-
by pledge its full faith and credit for the prompt and timely payment of its obligations expressed
in this contract and shall each year levy a tax in an amount which, taking into consideration esti-
mated delinquencies in tax collections, will be sufficient to pay its obligations under this contract
becoming due before the time of the following year's tax collections: Provided, however, that the
annual tax levy may be reduced by the amount of special assessment installments, principal and in-
terest, to be collected and available for the payment of such obligations and by the amount of cash
or other funds which the municipality has on hand (or to its credit in the hands of the county) and
available for the payment of such obligations. The governing body of each municipality shall each
year, at least 90 days prior to the final date provided by law or charter for the making of the
annual tax levy, submit to the county agency a written statement setting forth the amount of its
obligations to the county which become due and payable under this contract prior to the time of the
next following year's tax collections, the amount of the funds which the municipality has or will
have on hand (or to its credit in the hands of the county) which are or will be available for pay-
ment of said obligations to the county, and the amount of the taxes next proposed to be levied for
the purpose of raising money to meet such obligations. The county agency shall promptly review such
statement and, if it finds that the proposed tax levy is insufficient, after taking into account
such other available funds, it shall so notify the governing body, and each municipality hereby
covenants and agrees that it will thereupon increase its levy to such extent as may be required by
the county agency. Taxes levied by the municipalities for the payment of their obligations to the
county pursuant to this contract shall be subject to limitation as to rate or amount as required
by law in effect at the time each levy is to be made.
Inasmuch as the Charter Township of Commerce As not entering into this contract on behalf
of any area of the township incorporated as a city or as a village which area of the township located
in a city or village will not be served by the Oakland County Project, any taxes imposed by the
Charter Township of Commerce shall be levied only upon property located in the area of the township
outside such a city or village.
11. In the event that a municipality shall fail for any reason to pay to the county agency
at the times herein specified, the amounts herein required to be paid, the state treasurer or other
official charged with the disbursement of unrestricted state funds returnable to the defaulting
municipality pursuant to the Michigan constitution is hereby authorized to withhold sufficient funds
to make up any default or deficiency in funds. In addition to the foregoing, the county shall have
all other rights and remedies provided by law to enforce the obligations of the municipalities to
make payments in the manner and at the times required by this contract. It is specifically recog-
nized by the municipalities that the payments required to be made by them pursuant to the terms of
this contract are to be pledged for the payment of the principal of and interest on bonds to be is-
sued by the county, and the municipalities covenant and agree that they will make their required pay-
ments to the county promptly and at the times herein specified, without regard as to whether the
Oakland County Project herein contemplated is actually completed or placed in operation; provided,
only that nothing herein contained shall limit the obligation of the county to perform in accordance
with the covenants contained herein. As provided in the Wayne Contract, Wayne County will also have
similar rights as to any amounts due to it.
12. No change in the jurisdiction over territory in a municipality shall in any manner
impair the obligations of this contract. In the event all or any part of the territory of a munici-
pality is incorporated as a new city or is annexed to or becomes a part of the territory of another
municipality, the municipality into which such territory is incorporated or to which such territory
is annexed, shall assume the proper proportionate share of the contractual obligations and right to
capacity in the Oakland County Project of the municipality from which such territory is taken, based
upon a division determined by the county agency which shall make such determination after taking in-
to consideration all factors necessary to make the division equitable, and in addition shall, prior
to such determination, receive a written recommendation as to proper division from a committee com-
posed of one representative designated by the governing body of the municipality from which the
territory is taken, one designated by the governing body of the new municipality or the municipality
Commissioners Minutes Continued. June 23, 1983 206
annexing such territory, and one independent registered engineer appointed by the county agency.
Each municipality shall appoint its representative within fifteen (15) days after being notified
to do so by the county agency and within a like time the county agency shall appoint the engineer
third member. If either municipality shall fail to appoint its representative within the time
above provided, then the county agency may proceed without said recommendation. If the committee
shall not make its recommendation within forty-five (45) days after its appointment or within any
extension thereof by the county agency, then the county agency may proceed without such recommen-
dation. As provided in the Wayne Contract, Wayne County may participate in the foregoing provided
procedures.
13. The county shall not be obligated to acquire or construct any facilities other than
those described in paragraph 2 hereof. The responsibility for providing such additional facilities
as may be needed shall be that of the municipalities which shall have the right to cause to be con-
structed and maintained, either directly or through the county such necessary additional facilities.
14. After completion, the operation and maintenance of the Oakland County Project shall
be in accordance with applicable agreements between the parties and in accordance with the Wayne
Contract.
15. The parties hereto agree that the costs and expenses of any lawsuits arising directly
or indirectly out of this contract or the construction or financing of the Oakland County Project,
to the extent that such costs and expenses are chargeable against the county or the county agency,
shall be deemed to constitutea part of the cost of the Oakland County Project and shall be paid by
the municipalities in the sane manner as herein provided with respect to other costs of the Oakland
County Project. In the event of such litigation, the county agency shall consult with the munici-
palities and shall retain legal counsel agreeable to the county and the municipalities to represent
the county; provided that if the county and the municipalities cannot agree as to such representation
within a reasonable time, the county agency shall exercise its discretion as to the retention of such
counsel.
16. If bonds are not sold to finance the acquisition and construction of the Oakland
County Project within three years friar, the date of this contract through no fault of the county or
if the Oakland County Project is abandoned for any reason the municipalities shall pay all engineering,
legal and other costs and expenses incurred by the county agency in connection with the Oakland
County Project and the municipalities shall be entitled to all plans, specifications and other engi-
neering data and materials.
17. All powers, duties and functions vested by this contract in the county shall be exer-
cised and performed by the county agency, for and on behalf of the county, unless otherwise provided
by law or in this contract. The parties expressly reserve the right to amend this paragraph and/or
subsequently to agree, as provided in paragraph 14, to substitute another public corporate entity or
agency in place of the county or the county agency and to delegate thereto all powers, duties and
Functions of either or both created pursuant hereto or pursuant to law.
18. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this contract or of the Wayne
Contract shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, but these
contracts shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been
contained herein.
19. The county and the municipalities each recognize that the holders from time to time
of the bonds issued by the county under the provisions of said Act 342, Public Acts of Michigan, 1939,
as amended, and secured by the full faith and credit pledges of the municipalities to the payment of
the principal of and interest on the bonds as set forth in this contract, will have contractual
rights in this contract and in the Wayne Contract and it is therefore covenanted and agreed by each
of them that so long as any of said bonds shall remain outstanding and unpaid, the provisions of
either contract shall not be subject to any alteration or revision which would in any manner ad-
versely affect either the security of the bonds or the prompt payment of principal or interest there-
on. The right to make changes in either contract, by amendment, supplemental contract or otherwise,
is nevertheless reserved insofar as the same do not have such adverse affect and as provided in para-
graph 17 hereof. The municipalities and the county agency further covenant and agree that they will
each comply with their respective duties and obligations under the terms of this contract and the
Wayne Contract promptly, at the times and in the manner herein set forth, and will not suffer to be
done any act which would in any way impair the said bonds, the security therefor, or the prompt pay-
ment of principal and interest thereon. It is hereby declared that the terms of this contract and
the Wayne Contract insofar as they pertain to the security of any such bonds, shall be deemed to be
for the benefit of the holders of the bonds.
20. This contract shall become effective after its execution by each party hereto and the
expiration of 45 days after the date of publication of the notice required by Section 5b of Act 342;
provided, however, that if, within the 45 day period, a proper petition is filed with the Clerk of a
municipality in accordance with the provisions of Section 5b of Act 342 then this contract shall not
become effective until approved by the vote of a majority of the electors of the municipality quali-
fied to vote and voting thereon at a general or special election. This contract shall terminate
forty (40) years from its date or on such earlier date when the municipalities are not in default
hereunder and the principal, interest and bond handling charges on the bonds issued as hereinabove
described are fully paid and discharged. It shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the

scribed (the "project"). The term "system", as used hereinafter, shall consist of those interceptors
and treatment facilities as are included in the "project". (see Table 1 - description). For pur-
poses for financing those facilities located in the County of Wayne there shall be established within
Wayne County a district to be known as the Huron Valley Wastewater Control District as described in
Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof. (the "district").
2. The project shall be constructed as hereinafter provided in three phases. Such phases
and the facilities to be constructed within each phase are described in Table I attached.
3. The parties hereto approve the total estimated cost of the entire project and the cost
of each phase set out above in the estimated amounts as set forth in Table 11 attached hereto and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. June 23, 1983 212
made a part hereof. Said estimated costs include all surveys, plans, specifications, acquisition
of property for rights -of-way, physical construction necessary to acquire and construct the system,
the acquisition of all materials, machinery and necessary equipment, and engineering, engineering
supervision, administrative, legal and financing expenses necessary in connection with the ac-
quisition and construction of the system and the financing thereof, including capitalized bond
reserves, capitalized interest and capitalized operation and maintenance expenses as specified,
as well as bond insurance and letter of credit costs, if necessary.
4. It is anticipated between the parties hereto that the Project to be buiit shall qualify
for a segmented federal grant in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 40 §35.2108.
For purposes of financing the Project, it is anticipated that the Project shall be eligible for
federal grants with respect to Phase I, Phase 11 and Phase III in the amounts as noted on Table II.
The applicant, Wayne County, in accordance with the requirements of said S35.2108 agrees to complete
the treatment works regardless of whether or not grant funding is available for Phases II and Ill,
5. Wayne and Oakland will acquire, construct and finance the Project within their respec-
tive jurisdictions, and will cause bids to be taken for such acquisition and construction and will
issue county bonds in accordance herewith, Wayne and Oakland, with the consent of all Local Units,
may hereafter agree, by amendment to this Contract by supplemental contract or otherwise, as pro-
vided in Section 33 hereof, to substitute another public corporate entity or agency in place of each
county and to delegate thereto all powers, duties, and functions of each county created pursuant
hereto or pursuant to law. In no event will any final contract or contracts be entered into for the
acquisition and construction of any phase of the Project prior to the sale of bonds necessary for
the financing of that phase of the Project. The System shall be acquired in accordance with plans
and specifications therefor, as set cut in the preamble hereto which documents are approved by this
Contract. The Project shall be acquired and constructed substantially in accordance with said plans,
and in accordance with the final plans and specifications to be prepared and submitted by the con-
sulting engineers, but variations therefrom which do not materially change the location, capacity or
overall design of the Project, and which do not require an increase in the estimated cost of the
System, as set forth in Table II, attached and made a part hereof, may be permitted on the authority
of Wayne. Other variations or changes may be made as approved by Wayne and by resolutions of the
governing bodies of the Local Units effective as required by Section 30 hereof. All matters relating
to engineering plans and specifications, together with the making and letting of final contracts or
acquisitions and construction of the Project, the approval of the work and materials therefor, and
construction supervision, shall be under the exclusive control of Wayne as to those facilities in
Wayne, and under the exclusive control of Oakland as to those facilities in Oakland.
6. The Local Units, by way of compliance with Section 29, Article VII, Michigan Consti-
tution of 1963, consent and agree to the establishment and location of the Project and any extension,
improvement or enlargement thereof, within their corporate boundaries and to the use by Wayne and
Oakland of their streets, highways, alleys, lands, rights-of-way or other public places for the
purpose and facilities of the Project and any improvement, enlargement or extension thereof, and the
Local Units further agree that in order to evidence and effectuate the foregoing agreement and con-
sent, they will execute and deliver to Wayne and Oakland such grants of easement, right-of-way,
license, permit or consent as may be requested by Wayne or Oakland.
7. For the term of this Contract, South Rockwood and all Wayne and Oakland Local Units
hereby agree to transmit to the System all wastewater collected within their boundaries in the
Service Area, except as provided in Section 12, at reception points in the System designated by Wayne
or Oakland, and Wayne agrees that the System shall accept, treat and dispose of such wastewater.
Wayne and Oakland agree that all Local Units shall retain the right to deliver wastewater in amounts
as hereinafter provided to the System for the term of this contract, including any extension thereof,
so long as Oakland and said Local Units shall continue to pay amounts specified herein for such
service. Neither Oakland nor any Local Unit shall have the right unilaterally to terminate or re-
duce such payments, but if such parties hereto shall breach such obligation, Wayne shall be author-
ized to terminate or reduce such delivery rights or to transfer such delivery rights to other public
corporations, whether a party hereto or not, subject to the provisions of Sections 9 and 10.
8. The parties hereto agree that Wayne will be responsible to operate, maintain and ad-
minister the facilities located in the District, and Oakland and the Local Units will pay Wayne for
such service. Wayne will cause the System to be operated, maintained and administered on the basis
of sound public utility operational procedure and in compliance with contractual and legal obli-
gations applicable thereto. Wayne will use its best efforts to keep all facilities of the System in
proper repair and working order. However, Wayne shall not be liable to any Local Unit or any indi-
vidual user therein for any interruption in service. Wayne and Oakland will comply with all appli-
cable federal, state and local regulations relative to the System's construction, operation and main-
tenance.
9. The parties hereto agree that the Project is immediately necessary to preserve and
protect the public health. The parties further agree, however, that the Project is intended to serve
the Local Units in the Service Area and not individual users therein, unless by special agreement be-
tween Wayne or Oakland and a Local Unit wherein a user is located. Wayne and Oakland shall place up-
on the Local Units the obligation to require connection to available sewer facilities and, to the
extent permitted by law, to prohibit the acquisition or maintenance within the Service Area of any
public sanitary sewer or public or private sewage disposal facilities which do not connect to the
213
Commissioners Minutes Continued. June 23, 1983
facilities of the System, except by specific written approval of Wayne and Oakland. The responsi-
bility for collecting wastewater and delivering the same to the System shall be that of Oakland,
South Rockwood and each Wayne Local Unit. South Rockwood and the Wayne Local Units shall cause to
be constructed and maintained, in accordance with regulations of Wayne, the collector facilities,
and Oakland shall place a similar responsibility upon the Oakland Local Units based upon regulations
of Oakland which shall conform to and be at least as stringent as regulations of Wayne. Wayne and
Oakland shall not be obligated to serve areas outside of the Service Area or to construct facilities
other than those described above, but Wayne and Oakland may, with the approval of the Rate Review
Committee, contract to serve areas outside of the Service Area, so long as the rights of the parties
hereto are not infringed upon, any revenues from such service outside of the Service Area inure to
the benefit of the System and appropriate buy-in payment to the System is arranged.
10. Regardless of any provisions in this Contract to the contrary, no Local Unit shall
directly or indirectly assign any part of its rights hereunder to any other Local Unit or any other
municipality, person or entity without Cl) according to all other Local Units a right of first re-
fusal to take the rights proposed to be assigned and (2) receiving Wayne's consent to such assign-
ment, and if any Local Unit involved is an Oakland Local Unit, the consent of Oakland as well.
Notice of such proposed assignment, together with all relevant details thereof, shall be sent to
Wayne, Oakland and all Local Units by certified mail and unless within forty-five (45) days after
such mailing Wayne, and Oakland if involved, shall have sent to the assigning Local Unit written
refusal of consent or any Local Unit shall have sent to the assigning Local Unit written offer to
take such assignment on terms agreed upon as hereinafter provided, the assigning Local Unit may
make such assignment. If any Local Unit desires to secure the rights proposed to be assigned, then
in that event, the terms of such assignment shall be mutually agreed upon by the assigning party,
the requesting party, Wayne and Oakland if involved. If more than one Local Unit elects to take up
such proposed assignment, the assigning Local Unit may negotiate with each Local Unit so electing.
The foregoing shall not prevent any Local Unit from providing wastewater disposal service to users
within its boundaries in the Service Area as retail customers.
II. The facilities of the System are designed to accept a maximum rate of flow as specified
in Exhibit D attached hereto, and each Local Unit shall be limited in its right to deliver wastewater
to the System and the various sections thereof, as specified in said Exhibit D, and Wayne and Oakland
shall be responsible to monitor the use of the Project by each Local Unit, using sewage meters or
other methods as necessary to do so. Further, the parties hereto recognize that the Project will be
constructed in phases, and that certain Local Units will not immediately have access to deliver waste-
water to the Project until the entire Project is completed. In consideration of such fact, together
with the fact that Oakland, the Wayne Local Units and South Rockwood agree to pay certain capital
costs of the Project, as set Forth in Exhibit "F", although they may not have immediate access, the
County agrees to provide interim rights to deliver wastewater to other systems either owned or con-
trolled by Wayne (namely - those systems commonly known as the Rouge Valley Sewage Disposal and the
Downriver Sewage Disposal Systems), or to other systems within which Wayne has contractue rights
(the sewage system owned and controlled by the City of Detroit - Department of Water and Sewerage),
subject to the provisions of Paragraph 13 hereof. Further, the parties recognize that the providing
of any interim rights to deliver wastewater to other systems shall be subject to the capacity of the
other systems to accept such flows and to the rights of the parties and communities which contracted
and paid for the facilities of said other systems.
12. The parties hereto recognize the existing rights to deliver wastewater to the Rouge
Valley or the Downriver Sewage Control Systems which Oakland and certain Local Units own with re-
spect to either all or a part of the territory within their boundaries or with respect to territory
within their boundaries either within or without the Service Area, which rights; all parties hereto
agree, are as described in Exhibit C attached hereto. Such Local Units will not be required to de-
liver wastewater to the Project until such rights are fully utilized as to territory within the
Service Area. The parties hereto recognize the right of Wayne to negotiate with any one or more of
such Local Units or Oakland for the redistribution or reallocation of such existing delivery rights,
within the conditions set forth above.
13. All parties hereto recognize that Wayne will be responsible to operate the System on
a non-profit basis for the benefit of the users and is without funds to finance, operate or maintain
the System, except as to those funds obtained from grants or from the beneficial users of the System,
namely - the Local Units. Therefore, in no event shall Wayne or its General Fund be charged with or
liable for the cost of operating, maintaining and administering the System. All Wayne Local Units,
South Rockwood, and Oakland, on behalf of the Oakland Local Units, shall pay to Wayne such charges
for use of the facilities in the District ("Rates") as shall be sufficient to provide for the pay-
ment of all costs of operating, maintaining and administering the System, as well as all debts,
service costs, coverage requirements, reserve and re-occurring finance costs in connection with any
portion of the System financed by revenue bonds. Furthermore, those users of the Huron Valley Waste-
water Control System whose sewage is treated on an interim basis as set forth in Section 11 supra,
shall be deemed users of the Huron Valley Wastewater Control System, and shall pay the Huron Valley
Wastewater Control System rates and charges as established by Wayne from time to time. Rates shall
reflect not only current cost experience, but shall also recognize reasonably estimated cost levels
during any period for which such Rates are applied, and may include charges paid to other systems for
services provided by such other systems. Rates may be adjusted by Wayne from time to time to meet
Commissioners Minutes Continued. June 23, 1983 214
the foregoing costs. The initial Rates estimated to be as set forth in Exhibit "E", attached hereto
and made a part hereof. However, these Rates will be as identified in the user charge system as
approved by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. Operation and maintenance expenses shall
include such amounts as in the judgment of Wayne are necessary to pay for any losses or legal ex-
penses arising from the operation and maintenance of the System, including repair and replacement
of System equipment, accessories, or appurtenances necessary to maintain the capacity and perfor-
mance for which the facilities were originally designed and constructed. In addition thereto, the
Rates shall include such amounts as are necessary to pay similar expenses incurred with respect to
construction or improvements made to the System. The funds obtained by Wayne from Rates shall only
be used for purposes necessary to the operation, maintenance or repair or replacement of the facil-
ities as originally designed and constructed.
14. Oakland, South Rockwood and Wayne Local Units shall pay Wayne monthly in accordance
with the Schedule of Rates established by Wayne. The monthly payments shall be accompanied by using
a report on forms provided by Wayne showing water consumption. The payment and the report are due
within forty-five (45) days after the month of service. The Wayne Local Units, South Rockwood and
Oakland agree to pay these Rates promptly, without reduction, without regard to whether or not
charges for the user of the System have been collected from individual users within their respective
units, and without regard to any failures of the System. Any such Rates unpaid within forty-five
days from the month of service shall be subject to a late charge of 1 and 1/2 percent of each month
or fraction thereof, for which such Rates remain unpaid. The payment of such Rates by the Wayne
Local Units, South Rockwood and Oakland shall be a general obligation of such parties, and Wayne
shall have the right to utilize any method permitted by law for the collection of such Rates.
15. Each Local Unit shall adopt a User Charge system with respect to its users which com-
plies with the rules and regulations promulgated by Wayne and the Federal Environmental Protection
Agency (the "EPA"), with respect to a User Charge system. The User Charge system of each Local Unit
will be based upon the quantity of wastewater delivered to the System for treatment, together with
surcharges to be applied to individual users whose discharges of specified pollutants exceed a
specified strength. Wayne shall prepare schedules specifying pollutants and discharges to be sub-
ject to surcharge and defining normal loadings with respect to specified pollutants. The Local Units
recognize that their individual User Charge systems shall be subject to applicable EPA User Charge
rules and regulations and shall establish charges to be collected from individual users in amounts
sufficient to pay its Rates to Wayne when due. There is reserved to all Local Units the right to
fix charges to their individual users in such amounts as will produce additional moneys which may
be used by the Local Units for any lawful purpose relating to sewage disposal services rendered by
them on behalf of their own individual sewage disposal systems. Oakland shall contract with the
Oakland Local Units to insure that such Local Units abide by the provisions of this Section.
16. The parties hereto agree that there shall be established a permanent Rate Review
Committee ("Committee") for the purpose of assisting Wayne in efficiently operating, maintaining
and administering the System for the benefit of the parties hereto. The Committee shall consist of
an appointee from each Local Unit, Wayne and Oakland and shall be provided with such clerical and
secretarial personnel and such other funds as may reasonably be required to carry out its functions.
The Rate Review Committee will serve without compensation, except that reimbursement of expenses may
be provided. These costs shall he included in the Rates and considered a cost of the administration
of the System as a whole. The Committee shall have access to the books, records and financial reports
of the System. Wayne shall annually submit for approval to the Committee the projected budget for the
System, setting forth in such detail as the Committee shall request projected costs of operating, main-
taining, administering and paying all expenses of the System. Should a dispute arise between Wayne
and the Committee relative to such budget, either as a whole or in any part, such dispute shall be
submitted for final resolution to whatever agency in Wayne County shall be authorized by law to make
final determinations as to the Rates of the System. Wayne shall, as part of the operation and ad-
ministration of the System, select an outside auditor to conduct an annual audit. The results of
the annual System audit shall be transmitted to each Local Unit, Oakland and the Committee. The
outside auditor selected will be chosen for a period of not less then three (3)consecutiveYears, nor
more than eight (8) consecutive years. Prior to initiating an audit selection process, the Committee
will be notified by Wayne and requested to submit within thirty (30) days the names of a minimum of
three (3) firms of outside auditors acceptable to Oakland and the Local Units. The names of auditors
recommended by the Committee will be included by Wayne with other outside auditors in the selection
process leading to the naming of the outside auditor. Wayne shall develop a scope of work with re-
spect to the annual audit and shall include within said scope of work the reasonable requests sub-
mitted by the Committee. Wayne will then request the qualified outside auditors named by Wayne and
the Committee to submit proposals to perform the annual audit. Wayne will select a minimum of three
(3) proposals from outside auditors whose names will be submitted to the Committee, and the Committee
will have thirty (30) days to register any objection to Wayne with respect to those auditors selected
prior to final selection by Wayne. Further, the Committee shall forward to Wayne recommendations with
respect to the efficient and economical operation, maintenance and administration of the System. Such
recommendations shall be considered by Wayne for implementation and shall be made a part of any re-
ports by Wayne with respect to the operation, maintenance and administration of the System.
17. Wayne shall establish general System use rules and regulations consistent with 33 USC
1251, etc., (the Federal Clean Water Act) and the EPA rules and regulations controlling the quantity
215
Commissioners Minutes Continued, June 23, 1983
and quality of the discharge of the users to the System. Nothing herein shall prohibit Wayne from
establishing rules and regulations more stringent than those required by the aforesaid Act, if, in
the judgment of Wayne, stricter rules and regulations are necessary to protect the integrity of the
System. Further, Oakland and each Local Unit agree to enforce such rules and regulations as Wayne
shall from time to time adopt.
18. Except with respect to those areas within the Service Area being served at the time
of the execution of this Contract by combined sewers, which areas may continue to be served by ex-
isting combined sewage facilities, Wayne shall prohibit the connection either directly or indirectly
of storm water sewers to the System and shall further prohibit and prevent as nearly as is practicable
the introduction of storm water into the System. It shall be Wayne's responsibility to monitor the
System to carry out the prohibition and prevention of the entry of storm waters into the System.
Each Local Unit by the adoption of the required ordinances, shall comply with Wayne's regulations in
this regard. Oakland will impose similar requirements with respect to the Oakland Local Units.
19. Wayne shall have the right to deny to any Local Unit or Oakland the use of the system,
should such Local Unit or Oakland be delinquent for a period of 90 days in payment of any of the
charges due from it to Wayne hereunder, such denial to continue until such delinquency ceases. The
foregoing shall be accomplished by Wayne by any lawful means.
20. Each Local Unit, and Oakland for the Oakland Local Units, shall be responsible for the
character of the wastewater originating within its boundaries, and shall comply with Wayne's standards,
rules and regulations controlling discharge of wastewater to the System, specifically industrial and/
or commercial wastes. Each Local Unit and Oakland, by contract or by the adoption of appropriate or-
dinances, shall enforce such rules and regulations and shall provide for and collect appropriate sur -
charges. If the character of wastewater transmitted from any Local Unit or Oakland shall be such
that it imposes an unreasonable additional burden upon the System, then a surcharge over and above
the regular Rates shall be established by Wayne for the receipt of such discharge, or if such dis-
charge cannot be received by the System, Wayne may require that such discharge be pretreated before
transmission to the System. It necessary, Wayne shall have the right for the protection of the
System and the public health or safety, to deny discharge of wastewater to the System, and Wayne may
take all steps necessary to accomplish such denial.
21. Wayne and Oakland each agree to finance the Project in accordance with any lawful means
available to it. In accordance with that agreement, Wayne and Oakland each will take the following
general steps:
(a) Wayne and Oakland each will submit to its Board of Commissioners, at appropriate
times, resolutions or ordinances providing for the issuance of bonds necessary to finance the various
phases of the Project, and will request that the limited tax full faith and credit of each County be
pledged as secondary security for all such financings by each County other than revenue bonds. After
due adoption of the appropriate resolutions or ordinances, Wayne and Oakland each will take all neces-
sary or legal procedures and steps to effectuate sale and delivery of the bonds at the lowest possible
cost. Wayne will apply for and make appropriate use of all available federal grants to pay for a
part of the cost of the Project, and South Rockwood and Oakland each will pay Wayne for its part of
the interceptor cost of the Project, as set forth on Table II.
(b) Wayne will take all steps necessary to take bids for and enter into final con-
struction contracts for the acquisition and construction of the facilities of the Project in the
District as specified and approved in this Contract, in accordance with the plans and specifications
therefor as approved herein. Said contracts shall specify completion dates presently estimated to
be as follows:
Phase I: December 1, 1986
Phase !I: December 1, 1986
Phase III: December 1, 1987 (Interceptors)
April 1, 1988 (Treatment Plant)
(c) Wayne will require and procure from contractors undertaking the actual construction
and acquisition of the said facilities necessary and proper bonds to guarantee the performance of such
contract or contracts and such labor and material bonds as may be required by law, in amounts and in
such forms as may be approved by Wayne.
(d) Oakland will take the same steps as Wayne, as set forth in subsections (b) and
(c) above, in constructing the facilities in the Project to be located in Oakland to be a part of
the System.
(e) Wayne will upon receipt of the proceeds of sale of the bonds, federal grant funds
and cash payments comply with all provisions and requirements provided for in this agreement, any
grants and any bond resolution and in other applicable regulations relative to disposition and use
of the proceeds of such funds.
(f) Wayne may temporarily invest any bond proceeds or other funds held by it for the
benefit of Oakland and the Local Units as permitted by law, and investment income shall accrue to
and follow the fund producing such income. Neither Wayne, Oakland or the Local Units shall invest,
reinvest, or accumulate any moneys deemed to be proceeds of bonds pursuant to Section 103(c) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, and the applicable regulations thereunder, in such a
manner as to cause the bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of said Section 103(c) and
the applicable regulations thereunder.
Commissioners Minutes Continued, June 23, 1983 216
(g) Oakland and the Local Units hereby agree that they will comply with all state
and federal requirements in connection with grants to be secured to pay a part of the cost of the
System, including specifically the establishment of appropriate User Charge and Industrial cost
recovery systems and the adoption of an appropriate sewer use ordinance, in accordance with pre-
scribed timetables.
(h) It is understood among the parties that certain local wastewater facilities
must be constructed in order for certain portions of the Project to be eligible for federal grants.
The description and estimated costs and cost distributions of these local facilities are shown on
Table Ill attached. The Local Units, which will utilize the local facilities, agree to construct
these facilities under separate financing agreements in accordance with the requirements of the MDNR.
22. Wayne will finance the various phases of the Project by means of revenue bonds and
contract bonds and cash payments and grants all substantially as set forth on Table IV attached
hereto. The revenue bonds shall be payable solely from the Rates charged to Oakland and the Local
Units for the use of the System. The balance of the costs will be paid by South Rockwood and Oak-
land on behalf of the Oakland Local Units and from contract bonds payable primarily from fixed ob-
ligations allocated to Wayne Local Units, which obligations will be supported by the limited tax
full faith and credit pledges of each such Local Unit. The manner of payment of the cost of facil-
ities comprising the three phases of construction of the Project are estimated as set forth on
Table IV attached hereto, and will be established in final form as soon as practicable and made a
part hereof.
23. Oakland agrees that it will timely use any available legal means to sell its own
bonds to construct that portion of the Project located in Oakland County. Oakland further agrees
to take such actions as are necessary to have cash available for payment to Wayne in a timely manner.
The required payments by South Rockwood and Oakland to Wayne shall be either in a lump sum or as
called for by Wayne in accordance with construction schedules. However, any amounts paid by South
Rockwood and Oakland to Wayne shall be invested by Wayne to the extent possible, and the interest
thereon shall accrue to the account of the party making such payments. Wayne will not enter into
any construction contracts for the System until bonds are sold by South Rockwood or Oakland as such
sales are needed to assure payment of their respective obligations.
24. It is understood and agreed that the contract bonds of Wayne above referred to will be
issued in anticipation of the Wayne Local Units contractual obligations, herein set forth, and said
Wayne Local Units will pay an amount equal to each annual maturity on the first day of each month
prior to the principal due dates of said bonds, and said Wayne Local Units shall also pay to Wayne
in addition to said principal installments, on the first day of each month prior to an interest due
date, as accrued interest on the principal amount remaining unpaid, an amount sufficient to pay all
interest due on the next succeeding interest payment date on said bonds from time to time outstanding.
From time to time as Wayne is billed by the paying or registrar agent or agents for the bonds to be
issued for their services as paying agent, or registering bonds, and as other costs and expenses accrue
to Wayne from handling of the payments made by the Wayne Local Units, or from other actions taken in
connection with said bonds, Wayne shall notify said Wayne Local Units of the amount of such fees as
other costs and expenses, and said Wayne Local Units shall, within thirty (30) days from such noti-
fication, remit to Wayne sufficient funds to meet such paying fees and other costs and expenses. Wayne
may, at its option, include bond handling costs, bank letters of credit expenses and other annual
charges. The percentage share of each Local Unit of such debt service costs and other expenses in
connection with contract bonds shall be fixed and established for the life of said bonds. Exhibit F
attached hereto sets forth such percentages based on an estimate of anticipated costs and expenses.
Should cash payments be required in addition to the amounts specified in the preceding
paragraphs to meet additional costs of constructing the contract bond financed portion of the System,
such parties so obligated shall, upon written request by Wayne, furnish to Wayne written evidence of
their agreement and ability to make such additional cash payments, and Wayne may elect not to proceed
with the acquisition or financing of the contract bond financed portion of the System until such
written evidence satisfactory to Wayne, has been received by it. Such parties shall pay to Wayne
such additional cash payments within thirty (30) days after written request for such payment has been
delivered to them by Wayne.
Wayne shall, within thirty (30) days after the delivery of each series of the contract
bonds hereinbefore referred to, furnish the Wayne Local Units with a complete schedule of maturities
of principal and interest thereon, and Wayne shall also at least thirty (30) days prior to each in-
terest and principal due date, advise such Local Units in writing, of the exact amount of principal
and interest due on the said bonds on the next due date.
If any principal installment or interest is not paid when due, the amount not so paid
shall be subject to a penalty, in addition to interest, of one percent (1%) thereof for each month
or fraction thereof that the same remains unpaid after the due date.
25. Oakland and each Local Unit, pursuant to authorization of Michigan law, hereby
irrevocably pledge their full faith and credit for the prompt and timely payment of all of their
obligations as expressed in this contract. Pursuant to such pledge, if other funds are not avail-
able, the Local Unit shall be required to pay such amounts from any of its general funds as a first
budget obligation and shall each year levy an ad valorem tax on all the taxable property in the Local
Unit in an amount which, taking into consideration estimated delinquencies in tax collections, will
be sufficient to pay such obligations under this contract becoming due before the time of the following
year's tax collections, such annual levy, however, to be subject to applicable charter, statutory and
217
Commissioners Minutes Continued. June 23, 1983
constitutional tax limitations. The debt service portion of the foregoing commitments of each Local
Unit are expressly recognized as being for the purpose of providing funds to meet contractual obli-
gations as set out herein in anticipation of which the bonds hereinbefore referred to are issued.
Nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent any Local Unit from using any, or any com-
bination of, means and methods for the purpose of providing funds to meet its obligations under this
contract, and if at the time of making the annual tax levy there shall be other funds on hand ear-
marked and set aside for the payment of the contractual obligations due prior to the next tax col-
lection period, then such annual tax levy may be reduced by such amount.
26. Any Wayne Local Unit may pay in advance any of the payments required to be made by
this contract to retire contract bonds, in which event Wayne shall credit the appropriate Wayne Local
Unit with such advance payment on future-due payments to the extent of such advance payment.
27. Any Wayne Local Unit may pay additional moneys over and above any of the contract bond
payments specified in this contract, with the written request that said additional funds be used to
call contract bonds for redemption prior to maturity, in which event Wayne shall be obligated to
apply and use said moneys for such purpose to the fullest extent possible. Such moneys shall not
then be credited as advance payments under the provisions of Section 26 of this contract.
28. In the event Oakland or any Local Unit party hereto shall fail for any reason to pay
to Wayne at the times specified herein the amounts required to be paid by the provisions of this con-
tract, for rates or for its share of the costs of the Project as evidenced by bonds of Wayne, Wayne
shall immediately give notice of such default and the amount thereof, in writing, to the Local Unit
Treasurer, the appropriate County Treasurer, the Treasurer of the State of Michigan, and such other
officials charged with disbursement to such party of funds returned by the State and now or here-
after under Michigan law available for pledge as provided in this paragraph, and if such default is
not corrected within ten (10) days after such notification, the State Treasurer, or other appropriate
official charged with disbursement to the party of the aforesaid funds, is, by these presents, specif-
ically authorized by the party, to the extent permitted by law, to withhold from the aforesaid funds
the maximum amount necessary to cure said deficit and to pay said sums so withheld to Wayne, to apply
on the obligations of the party as herein set forth. Any such moneys so withheld and paid shall be
considered to have been paid to the party within the meaning of the Michigan Constitution and statutes,
the purpose of this provision being to voluntarily pledge and authorize the use of said funds owing
to the party to meet any past-due obligations of the party due under the provision of this contract.
In addition to the foregoing, Wayne shall have all other rights and remedies provided by law to en-
force the obligations of the party to make its payments in the manner and at the times required by
this contract, including the right of Wayne to direct the party to make a tax levy or rate increase
to reimburse Wayne for any funds advanced. No party shall take any action to reduce the right of
Wayne to receive the aforesaid state-returned moneys in the event of default.
29. It is specifically recognized by all Local Units that the debt service payments re-
quired to be made by them pursuant to the terms of Section 22 and Section 23 of this contract are
to be pledged for and used to pay the principal of and interest on the contract bonds to be issued
by Wayne or Oakland as provided by this contract and authorized by law, and said Local Units covenant
and agree that they will make all required payments to Wayne or Oakland promptly and at the times
specified herein without regard to whether the Project is actually completed or placed in operation.
30. In the event that it shall become necessary to increase the estimated Local Unit cost
of any portion of the System or Project for any reason, or if the actual Local Unit cost of any por-
tion of the System or Project shall exceed the estimated Local Unit cost, whether as the result of
variations or changes made in the approved plans or otherwise, then (without execution of any further
contract or amendment of this Contract) additional Wayne bonds of the same security (upon the adoption
of an authorizing resolution therefor by the Wayne County Board of Commissioners) shall be issued and
additional South Rockwood and Oakland cash payments shall be made to defray such increased or excess
cost, to the extent that funds therefor are not available from other sources: Provided, however, that
no such increase or excess shall be approved and no such increased or additional Wayne bonds shall be
authorized to be issued, nor shall Wayne enter into any contract for acquisition or construction of
the System or any part thereof or incur any obligation for or pay any item of cost therefor, where
the effect thereof would be to cause any Local Unit's cost of any portion of the System to exceed by
more than la the total estimated cost to such Local Unit as previously approved, unless the governing
body of Oakland and of the affected Local Unit shall have first adopted a resolution approving such
increase or excess and agreeing that the same (or such part thereof as is not available from other
sources) shall be defrayed by South Rockwood and Oakland cash payments and/or by the issuance of in-
creased or additional Wayne bonds in anticipation of increased or additional payments agreed to be
made by the affected Local Unit to Wayne in the manner herein provided: Provided, further, that the
adoption of such Local Unit approving resolution shall not be required prior to or as a condition
precedent to the issuance of additional bonds by Wayne, if Wayne has previously issued or contracted
to sell bonds to pay all or part of the cost of the System or has let construction bids in accordance
with plans for the System as last approved, and the issuance of the additional bonds is necessary
(as determined by Wayne) to pay such increased, additional or excess costs as are essential to com-
pletion of the System or any part thereof according to the plans therefor as last approved. The
annual payments required to be made by the parties obligated to pay such additional bonds shall be
increased in an amount so that the total payments required to be made as increased will be sufficient
to meet the annual principal and interest requirements on the bonds herein authorized, plus the

additional bonds to be issued. Any such additional bonds shall in all respects comply with the
requirements of this Contract and authorizing legislation, and any increases in the annual pay-
ments shall be made in the manner and at the times specified in this Contract. In lieu of said
additional bonds, a party hereto may and South Rockwood and Oakland shall pay over to Wayne in
cash sufficient money to pay its share of the additional costs to be financed.
31. Any surplus funds remaining from any bond issue or cash payment during the course
of construction of the Project shall be used to pay costs of other portions of the Project, in the
sole discretion of Wayne but with appropriate credit to the parties hereto producing such surplus.
After completion of the Project and payment of all costs thereof, any such surplus funds remaining
after cash refund to Oakland and South Rockwood shall be used by Wayne in its sole discretion for
either of the following purposes, to wit: (a) for additional improvements in the System, or (b)
credited toward the next debt service payments due hereunder (c) or purchase of bonds on the open
market and appropriate credit made on the obligation of each Local Unit.
32. The obligations and undertakings of each of the parties to this Contract shall be
conditioned on the successful issuance and sale of bonds, and if for any reason whatsoever bonds
to finance Phase I of the Project are not issued and sold within three (3) years from the effective
date hereof this Contract shall be considered void and of no force and effect. The parties hereto
agree that bonds to finance Phase I of the Project shall not be issued until a firm commitment has
been received for a federal grant anticipated to pay the eligible costs of Phase I of the Project.
33. The parties hereto each recognize that the holders from time to time of the bonds
issued by Wayne and/or Oakland to finance costs of the Project will have contractual rights in this
Contract, and it is, therefore, covenanted and agreed by each of them that so long as any of said
bonds shall remain outstanding and unpaid, the provisions of this Contract shall not be subject to
any alteration of revision which would in any manner materially affect either the security of the
bonds or the prompt payment of principal or interest thereon. The right to make changes in this
Contract, by amendment, supplemental contract, or otherwise, is nevertheless reserved insofar as
the same do not have such adverse effect and as provided in Section 5 hereof. The parties hereto
further covenant and agree that they will each comply with their respective duties and obligations
under the terms of this Contract promptly at the times and in the manner herein set forth, and will
not suffer to be done any act which would in any way impair the said bonds, the security therefor,
or the prompt payment of principal and interest thereon. It is hereby declared that the terms of
this Contract, insofar as they pertain to the security of any such bonds, shall be deemed to be for
the benefit of the holders of said bonds.
34. No change in the jurisdiction over territory in any Local Unit shall in any manner
impair the obligations of this Contract. In the event all or any part of the territory of a Local
Unit is incorporated as a new city or is annexed to or becomes a part of the territory of another
Local Unit or another public corporation, the Local Unit or public corporation into which such
territory is incorporated or to which such territory is annexed, shall assume the proper proportionate
share of the contractual obligations and rights in the System of the Local Unit from which such ter-
ritory is taken and such a public corporation shall become a Local Unit in this Contract, based upon
a division determined by Wayne which shall make such determination after taking into consideration all
factors necessary to make the division equitable, and in addition shall, prior to such determination,
receive a written recommendation as to proper division from a committee composed of one representative
designated by the governing body of the Local Unit from which the territory is taken, one designated
by the governing body of the new public corporation or the Local Unit or public corporation annexing
such territory, and one independent registered engineer appointed by Wayne. Each Local Unit or public
corporation shall appoint its representative within fifteen (15) days after being notified to do so
by Wayne and within a like time Wayne ,hall appoint the engineer third member. If either Local Unit
or public corporation shall Fail to appoint its representative within the time above provided, then
Wayne may proceed without such recommendation. If the committee shall not make its recommendation
within forty-five (45) days after its appointment or within any extensions whereof by Wayne, then
Wayne may proceed without such recommendation. Oakland shall make similar provisions with respect to
Oakland Local Units.
35. This Contract shall remain in full force and effect for a period of forty (40) years from the date hereof, and may bf, extended by further agreement of all or some of the parties hereto. In any event, the obligations of the Wdyne Local Units to make debt service payments required by this Contract shall be terminated at such time as all of the aforesaid bonds are paid in full, together with any deficiency or penalty thereon.
36. Wayne and Oakland will require or procure from the contractors undertaking the actual
Construction of the Project insurance protecting all parties hereto from liability in connection with
such construction. The cost of such insurance shall be considered to be a part of the cost of the
Project.
37. This Contract shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective parties
hereto, their successors and assigns.
38. This Contract shall become effective upon approval by the legislative body of Wayne,
Oakland and each Local Unit hereto and when duly executed by the appropriate officer or officers of
each Local Unit, Wayne County and Oakland County. The Contract may be executed in several counter-
parts. It is the understanding of all parties hereto that the City of Rockwood may become a party
hereto by the approval of this Contract by its governing body when duly executed by its appropriate
officers. In such event, the City of Rockwood shall be included within the definition of "Local Unit,"

and
WHEREAS the purpose of the Family Subsidy is to cover some of the special expenses which

home rather than place them into foster care, or to encourage families who have impaired children
in foster care to bring those children home; and
WHEREAS the approximate cost of the Family Subsidy of $2,500 per year is much less than

the Bill.

WHEREAS in Oakland County there are twenty (20) community placement facilities for develop-

through its Macomb/Oakland Regional Center but which have historically been supervised and monitored
by the County Community Mental Health Services Division; and
WHEREAS the Community Mental Health Services Board, with the full support of the Department
of Mental Health and Macomb/Oakland Regional Center, has requested that the funding for these twenty
(20) facilities be transferred to the Community Mental Health budget together with funds for ancillary
and day program services for the residents of the facilities; and
WHEREAS consolidation of funding for the homes and supervision of the homes under the
single authority of Community Mental Health would eliminate duplication of services and the need for
so-called "paper admissions" of handicapped persons to Macomb/Oakland Regional Center in order for
them to be placed in the twenty (20) foster care facilities; and
WHEREAS consolidation of funding and supervision of the facilities would give County
Community Mental Health staff complete authority over selection of residents for the facilities and
over their in-home training and would give the foster home operators a single line of authority to
follow; and
WHEREAS transfer of funding for the twenty (20) facilities conforms with the goal set
forth in Michigan's Mental Health Code to allow county Community Mental Health programs to assume
responsibility for a greater share of public mental health services.

WHEREAS Public Act 368 of 1978 allows local health departments, with the approval of the
County Commissioners, to set monetary fines for violations of the Public Health Code; and
WHEREAS such a system is categorized as civil action as opposed to criminal action which
is presently necessary to effect corrections when the educational approach is not successful; and
WHEREAS such a system would have cost -benefit efficacy in that corrections made without
resorting to court action are always less time-consuming; and
WHEREAS a system of monetary civil fines would provide a remedy for cases which are not
imminent health hazards and not serious enough to attempt obtaining a warrant but have the potential
for being health hazards if not voluntarily corrected and those health hazards which can be con-
sidered serious and critical; and
WHEREAS before a monetary civil fine would be assessed, every attempt would be made, as
it currently is, to effect correction by the educational approach; and
WHEREAS before assessing a monetary fine, the person in violation would be given ample
opportunity to correct the violation or the public health hazard; and
WHEREAS the person in violation would be given an opportunity to not only appeal the
initial order but also the fine itself.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby
approve an Amendment to the Oakland County Sanitary Code which establishes a system of monetary
fines for violations of that Code as attached to this resolution and made part hereof and that
such regulation be known as Article X of the Oakland County Sanitary Code.

Human Resources Committee commencing one year from the date the system is implemented.

IN RE: MICHIGAN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES BILL NO. 4448
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the proposed Michigan House Bill 4448 would establish a system of "Family Subsidies"
to be paid by the State to parents of minor children when these children live a home but are severely
mentally impaired, severely multiply impaired or autistic in the terminology of the public schools; and
WHEREAS the purpose of the Family Subsidy is to cover some of the special expenses which
families of severely impaired children incur, to encourage the families to keep their children at home
rather than place them into foster care, or to encourage families who have impaired children in foster
care to bring those children home; and
WHEREAS the approximate cost of the Family Subsidy of $2,500 per year is much less than the
cost to the taxpayers of maintaining a severely impaired child in a foster care facility; and
WHEREAS Michigan House Bill 4448 would designate the County Community Mental Health Services
program as the agency responsible for certifying families as eligible for the State subsidy under the
terms of the Bill, but the subsidy would be paid directly by the State; and
WHEREAS Michigan House Bill 4448 would serve the important social goal of maintaining the
natural family unit in situations where this effort has become an exceptional financial burden of the
parents for which reason the Oakland County Community Mental Health Services Board has endorsed the
Bill.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby support
and urge the adoption of Michigan House of Representatives Bill 4448 with the modification as recom-
mended by the Oakland County Community Mental Health Services Board that the approval of a Family Sub-
sidy be contingent upon a clinical review of the case by Corinunity Mental Health and a determination

Honorable Richard R. Wilcox
Chairman, Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Dear Dick:
RE: Miscellaneous Resolution 1183169, 1983 Federal
Emergency Jobs Bill-Community Development
Division
I have noted, subsequent to the adoption of the above resolution, a number of reported comments
dealing with the rationale for funds allocated to Commerce Township for road improvements benefiting
Williams International Company.
The essence of these reports raises questions about the accuracy of facts and recommendations pre-
sented to the Board of Commissioners to aid in their decision-making process.
Therefore, I believe the Board of Commissioners should do the following:
I) Review the facts, recommendations and processes upon which the resolution was developed
and adopted.
2) Adopt changes in existing policy and/or develop new policy that will improve the pro-
cess of our decision-making system.
3) Request that the Public Services Committee undertake the above review and report their
findings to the Board of Commissioners together with their recommendations within ninety (90) days.
Sincerely.
Lawrence R. Pernick, Commissioner, District 20
The Chairperson referred the letter to the Public Services Committee. There were no
objections.

IN RE: AMENDMENT TO OAKLAND COUNTY SANITARY CODE - MONETARY CIVIL FINES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Public Act 368 of 1978 allows local health departments, with the approval of the
County Commissioners, to set monetary fines for violations of the Public Health Code; and
WHEREAS such a system is categorized as civil action as opposed to criminal action which
is presently necessary to effect corrections when the educational approach is not successful; and
WHEREAS such a system would have cost-benefit efficacy in that corrections made without
resorting to court action are always less time-consuming; and
WHEREAS a system of monetary civil fines would provide a remedy for cases which are not
imminent health hazards and not serious enough to attempt obtaining a warrant but have the potential
for being health hazards if not voluntarily corrected and those health hazards which can be con-
sidered serious and critical; and
WHEREAS before a monetary civil fine would be assessed, every attempt would be made, as
it currently is, to effect correction by the educational approach; and
WHEREAS before assessinc a monetary fine, the person in violation would be given ample
opportunity to correct the violation or the public health hazard; and
WHEREAS the person in violation would be given an opportunity to not only appeal the
initial order but also the fine itself.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby
approve an Amendment to the Oakland County Sanitary Code which establishes a system of monetary
fines for violations of that Code as attached to this resolution and made part hereof and that such
regulation be known as Article X of the Oakland County Sanitary Code.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this system is subject to annual review by the Health and
Human Resources Committee commencing one year from the date the system is implemented.

of the foregoing resolution.

executive form of government in place and will seek changes in the law if the Board of Commissioners

Daniel T. Murphy, County Executive, presented the following Budget Message:
OVERVIEW OF 1984 RECOMMENDED BUDGET
- 1984 BUDGET MESSAGE -
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am delighted to stand before you to present my 1984 Budget Recommendation. As it has been
For the past seven years, it is a balanced budget. Unlike almost all major governmental institutions,
my Budget Recommendation, for the first time proposes expenditures below those authorized for 1983.
Current year expenditures on an annualized basis are at a level of $129,674,000 or $483,000 more than
the $129,191,095 I am proposing for 1984. This Recommendation reflects spending constraint and service
delivery at levels demanded by your constituents.
327
Commissioners Minutes Continued. October 6, 1983
How do I propose to fund expenditures of $129,191,095? I take pride in reporting to you
that, IN TOTAL, the citizens of Oakland County will pay less property taxes in 1984. This budget
contemplates no change in the Tillage rate of 4.6391. The lower tax revenues of $1.1 million re-
sult from reduced assessed valuations. Total property tax collections are estimated to be $64.4
million or 49.8% of the total required funds as compared to $65.5 million or 53.5% of the 1983
budget. Stated differently, Oakland County, for the first time, will depend upon sources other
than property taxes for more than one half of its revenue. The proposed tax rate of 4.6391 mills
is .6209 mill less than that authorized by the voters. And, I emphasize the County complies with
the Truth in Taxation Act, the Truth in Assessing Act and the Headlee Amendment, in both letter and
spirit.
An increase in non-property tax revenues is a key factor in maintaining the millage rate
at 4.6391. Non-property tax revenues are estimated at $64.8 million for an increase of $7.8 million,
(equivalent of .56 mill). This $7.8 million increase in revenue will be brought about by a combin-
ation of efficient management and wise investment practices.
Expenditures proposed for 1984 are less than those authorized in 1983 on an annualized
basis. Cost control and new approaches on the part of both management and staff will make this
possible.
The Recommendation submitted proposes the reduction of 25 positions (17 budgeted and
eight other source) from County Executive operations and the modest increase of three budgeted
positions and a decrease of eight other source positions, in other areas of the County. These
reductions result from the employees willingness to absorb additional workloads and management's
Cost control programs.
It would be unfair to the employees and counterproductive over the long run to permit
our employee's increased efforts go unrecognized and unrewarded. Therefore, my Recommendation
includes a modest but fair 3.5? salary increase which is equivalent to that proposed for federal
employees and considerably less than the 72i proposed for state employees. Certainly, this small
increase is less than those anticipated in the private sector.
Total operating costs will increase slightly; however, a few items are worthy of note.
On the cost savings side: A County fleet reduction of 18 vehicles results in a $258,000 savings;
funding of the Solid Waste Plan is nearly complete and this will result in a $559,000 reduction;
and sufficient funds have now been accumulated to pay off the east wing of the Courthouse for a
reduction of $236,500. On the increase side, Mental Health cost from state institutions and the
full year costs of community placement homes will be up $1.9 million; election expenses, which
only occur every other year, increase $490,000; and utility costs show $461,000, due mainly to
rate increases approved by the Public Services Commission.
The County was successful in the first round of litigation contesting the 6% factor
imposed by the State Tax Commission, however, the case is now under appeal. Therefore, 1 am
suggesting $2.8 million be set aside in a reserve and not closed out to surplus at the end of
1983.
Two accounting changes have a dramatic effect on the Budget Recommendation. Community
Mental Health's entire budget is being included for the first time, as a first step in presenting
all special revenue funds for the Board of Commissioners' approval. The County's independent
auditors have recommended this be done. It is suggested that the budgets for all special revenue
funds such as Parks and Recreation and Community Development, as well as all enterprise funds such
as Water and Sewer and the Airport, be included in future years for Board approval.
The second accounting change is the inclusion of depreciation in the building space al-
location line-item. While this change results in significantly higher departmental budgets, the
allocation for capital improvements will show a corresponding decrease. This change results in
an expenditure realignment and not an expenditure increase.
Each Commissioner, as in the past, will receive the line-item detail of the Recommendation.
An overview of proposed sources of funds, uses of resources by expenditure type and expending de-
partment, and budgeted personnel is provided. The overview summarizes the significant changes from
the 1983 budget to the 1984 Recommendation.
Although the 1984 Recommendation proposes significant changes, some things will never
change as long as I am Oakland County's Executive. The budget I am recommending is a balanced one
and one that restrains growth in government. I am now, have been, and always will be opposed to
the philosophy of tax and spend.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I respectfully submit the County Executive's 1984 Budget Recommen-
dation for your reviewand approval.
Sincerely,
Daniel T. Murphy

Committee, 'There were ne objections.

IN RE: THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A LAKE LEVEL FOR WALLED LAKE AND SHAWOOD LAKE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners

WHEREAS Act 146 of the Public Acts of 1961, the Inland Lake Level Act, establishes a pro-
cedure for the establishment of a legal lake level for inland lakes in the State of Michigan; and
WHEREAS Walled Lake and Shawood Lake are public inland lakes approximately 584 acres in
size, located within the City of Novi and the City of Walled Lake in southwestern Oakland County;
and
WHEREAS there now exists a lake level control structure at the natural outlet of Walled
Lake, located in the City of Novi, which is inadequate to properly control the lake levels of
Walled Lake and Shawood Lake; and
WHEREAS the establishment of a lake level for Walled Lake and Shawood Lake under the pro-
visions of Act 146 of 1961 would provide for the protection of the public health, welfare, and
safety of the citizens downstream from these lakes and would conserve the natural resources of the
state and would preserve and enhance the property values around Walled Lake and Shawood Lake; and
WHEREAS the construction of a new lake level control structure for Walled Lake and Shawood
Lake would permit a more effective control of the lake levels and, more particularly, would permit
the establishment of a winter lake level at lower elevations, thereby reducing the risks of high
water runoff from Walled Lake and Shawood Lake in the spring; and
WHEREAS the Cities of Novi and Walled Lake working together have agreed to a cost sharing
formula which fairly allocates the project costs to each party and will allow for a funding method
which will eliminate the necessity to special assess the affected property owners; and
WHEREAS Act 146 makes no provision for municipalities to initiate the establishment of a
lake level on behalf of its citizens but does empower the Board of Commissioners of the County of
Oakland upon its own motion to cause to be determined the normal height and level of the water of
Walled Lake and Shawood Lake; and
WHEREAS the Cities of Novi and Walled Lake have mutually requested such an action.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that by their action the Board of Commissioners on behalf of
the Cities of Novi and Walled Lake should cause to be determined the normal height and level of the
water of Walled Lake and Shawood Lake.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Board for the protection of the public health, welfare and
safety and to preserve the natural resources of the state and protect the values of property around
the lakes deems it expedient to determine and establish the normal height and level of Walled Lake
and Shawood Lake located in the City of Walled Lake and the City of Novi, Oakland County, Michigan,
pursuant to the provisions of Act No. 146 of the Public Acts of 1961, as amended.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners directs the Prosecutor's Office to

Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS two Minnesota Congressmen have revised the idea of winter navigation on the Great
Lakes and have attached their proposal to a bill pending in the United States House of Representatives;
and
WHEREAS these two Minnesota legislators appear to have bowed to special interest groups who
would like to ship iron ore and grain on a twelve-month basis; and
WHEREAS the United States Army Corps of Engineers experimented with winter navigation from
1970 to 1979 with a $23 million program that was clearly documented as an unsuccessful experience,
which caused extensive damage to fish habitats, shorelines and the environment generally; and
WHEREAS some researchers estimate that government would have to invest $3 billion initially
and $33 million annually to attain year round navigation and few jobs would be created as a result of
this investment; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Congressional delegation is organized to oppose winter navigation as a
wasteful threat to the environment as are virtually all interested parties in the other Great Lake
States and Canada.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges the
Michigan Congressional Delegation to defeat any proposed legislation to extend Great Lakes navigation

IN RE: THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A LAKE LEVEL FORWALLEDLAKE AND SHAWOOD LAKE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Act 146 of the Public Acts of 1961, the Inland Lake Level Act, establishes a pro-
cedure for the establishment of a legal lake level for inland lakes in the State of Michigan; and
WHEREAS Walled Lake and Shawood Lake are public inland lakes approximately 584 acres in
size, located within the City of Novi and the City of Walled Lake in southwestern Oakland County;
and
WHEREAS there now exists a lake level control structure at the natural outlet of Walled
Lake, located in the City of Novi, which is inadequate to properly control the lake levels of Walled
Lake and Shawood Lake; and a_ WHEREAS the establishment of a lake level for Walled Lake and Shawood Lake under the pro-
visions of Act 146 of 1961 would provide for the protection of the public health, welfare, and
safety of the citizens downstream from these lakes and would conserve the natural resources of the
state and would preserve and enhance the property values around Walled Lake and Shawood Lake; and
WHEREAS the construction of a new lake level control structure for Walled Lake and Shawood
Lake would permit a more effective control of the lake levels and, more particularly, would permit
the establishment of a winter lake level at lower elevations, thereby reducing the risks of high
water runoff from Walled Lake and Shawood Lake in the spring; and
WHEREAS the Cities of Novi and Walled Lake working together have agreed to a cost sharing
formula which fairly allocates the project costs to each party and will allow for a funding method
which will eliminate the necessity to special assess the affected property owners; and
WHEREAS Act 146 makes no provision for municipalities to initiate the establishment of a
lake level on behalf of its citizens but does empower the Board of Commissioners of the County of
Oakland upon its own motion to cause to be determined the normal height and level of the water of
Walled Lake and Shawood Lake; and
WHEREAS the Cities of Novi and Walled Lake have mutually requested such an action.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that by their action the Board of Commissioners on behalf of
the Cities of Novi and Walled Lake should cause to be determined the normal height and level of the
water of Walled Lake and Shawood Lake.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Board for the protection of the public health, welfare
and safety and to preserve the natural resources of the state and protect the values of property
around the lakes deems it expedient to determine and establish the normal height and level of Walled
Lake and Shawood Lake located in the City of Walled Lake and the City of Novi, Oakland County, Michigan,
pursuant to the provisions of Act No. 146 of the Public Acts of 1961, as amended.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners directs the Prosecutor's Office to
initiate the proper petition in the Oakland County Circuit Court for the appropriate proceedings for
such determination.

to be Fully informed of current rules and regulations of the Merit System; and
WHEREAS the expense of reprinting and distributing current rules to all employees on a

of current merit rules.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the current system of merit rule change printing and
distribution be continued; and

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Safety Shift Leader I and II classifications involve supervision of Safety
Officer and Building Safety Attendant employees; and
WHEREAS prior to 1983 the Shift Leader classifications have been paid at a rate greater
than theSafety Officer classification, the differential for the Shift Leader 1 ranging from 2.4%
to 7.4% over the Safety Officer classification with the differential at or over 6% for most of
the last seven years; and
WHEREAS the combination of scheduled labor contract increases in January, 1983 for Safety
Officers with no increase for the Shift Leader classes in January resulted in the Safety Officer
classification actually being at a rate greater than the Safety Shift Leader I classification; and
WHEREAS the general increase effective July 1, 1983 resulted in the reestablishment of
the differential of Safety Shift Leader I over Safety Officer but only at 0.8%.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the classifications of Safety Shift Leader I and II
each be increased by five percent (5) over the current rate, effective July 1, 1983, thereby in-

WHEREAS Oakland County opted for the County Executive form of government in 1974 under the
provisions of the newly adopted state law known as Act 139 of the Public Acts of 1973 and has re-
quested and had enacted needed amendments to Act 139 as required over the years, while Wayne County

4981, and it is apparent that numerous bills implementing the charter have been and will be needed to
affect the charter; and
WHEREAS Oakland County, having existed under Act 139 for nearly ten years, has its County
Executive form of government in place and will seek channes in the law only when there is a need: and
WHEREAS to confuse the distinct differences in the operating formats, fiscal status, and

IN RE: SUPPORT OF PACKAGE OF BILLS LEGALIZING DELAYS IN STATE REVENUE SHARING PAYMENTS UNDER CERTAIN
CONDITIONS AND REQUIRING PAYMENT or INTEREST ON ANY DEIAYED PAYMENTS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in order to meet emergency fiscal obligations during recessionary periods in
Michigan, governors on several occasions have had to delay paying local governments their shares
of state tax revenues without specific statutory authority; and
WHEREAS this withholding of revenue sharing reached a peak of severity during the 1982-83
fiscal year when the state held back S400 million in revenue sharing payments to local units of
government; and
WHEREAS these delays in revenue sharing have forced local governments to make eleventh
hour changes in their spending to adjust both for the delayed revenue sharing payments and also for
the loss of projected interest income on these expected payments; and
WHEREAS a package of bills (Rouse Bills 4570, 4572 and 4627) has been introduced to remedy
the existinn problem by amending the Revenue Sharing Act to statutorily authorize the oovernor to de-
lay revenue sharing payments under certain circumstances and to provide that interest owed by the state
on the delayed parents woulo accrue from ?he date the payments were dur: and
WHEREAS intereet payable to the local governmental units would equal the average rate
earned by the state's common cash fund for the quarter preceding the delay; and
WHEREAS this package of bills has passed the House and is awaiting action in the Senate.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners goes on record
as supporting House Bills 4573, 4572 and 4627.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to the four State Senators
from Oakland County and to the county's legislative asent.

including any allowable interest required by law, and the MUNICIPALITIES shall advance said amount in
the above stated percentages to WAYNE by the date specified by WAYNE. The MUNICIPALITIES shall be

finance increased appropriations. The Board of Commissioners may make a supplemental appropriation
by increasing the dollar amount of an appropriation item in the original general appropriations
measure or by adding additional items. At the same time the estimated amount from the source of
revenue to which the increase in revenue may be attributed shall be increased, or a new source and
amount added in a sum sufficient to equal the supplemental expenditure amount. In no case may such
appropriations cause total estimated expenditures, including an accrued deficit, to exceed total
estimated revenues, including an unappropriated surplus.

and probable revenues in any fund will be less than the estimated revenues upon which appropriations
from such fund were based, the County Executive shall present to the Board of Commissioners recom-
mendations which, if adopted, will prevent expenditures from exceeding available revenues for the
current fiscal year. Such recommendations shall include proposals for reducing appropriations, in-
creasing revenues, or both. After receiving the recommendations of the County Executive for bringing
appropriations into balance with estimated revenues, the Board of Commissioners shall amend the
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 8, 1983 412
general appropriations measure to reduce appropriations or shall approve such measures necessary to
provide revenuessufficientto equal appropriations, or both.

position, with its newly acquired duties and responsibilities, would more properly be shown in the

WHEREAS Senate Bill 459 would increase the initial application fee for a notary public
from $3 to $5; and
WHEREAS this proposed legislation would increase the surety bond requirement for a notary
from the present $1,000 to $10,000 before the person can perform notary services; and
WHEREAS Senate Bill 459 also requires a newly certified notary public to pay the county
clerk $2 instead of the present $1 for services rendered in connection with being commissioned a
notary but with none of this increase earmarked for the county general fund.
