IN RE: SUPPORT OF HOUSE BILL 4987 - PROVIDING FOR THE ELIMINATION OF SOCIAL SECURITY INCOME AS A
STATE INCOME TAX LIABILITY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Congress enacted legislation last April making social security income taxable at
certain income levels beginning with the 1984 Federal tax year; and
WHEREAS this federal legislation calls for payment of federal income tax on 50 percent of
social security income for people filing joint returns with a total income of $32,000.00 or more
and for those filing an individual return who have total income of $25,000.00 or more; and
WHEREAS since the Michigan Income Tax is based on the "adjusted gross income" from the
Federal tax form, taxpayers will be forced to pay additional state taxes because of the federal
legislation; and
WHEREAS this added tax obligation will be a serious financial imposition on senior citizens
who as a group can least afford a tax increase; and
WHEREAS many other states have already enacted new state legislation to protect their
citizens from an additional state tax beginning in 1984 resulting from the federal law; and
WHEREAS any protection afforded senior citizens from additional income tax liability from
any source of pension income is a realistic policy and a recognition of their difficulty in budget
management as inflation persists.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners go on record
as supporting House Bill 4987 which provides for deduction on the State tax return of social security
income included in the adjusted gross income on the federal tax form.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to all state legislators
representing Oakland County and to the county's legislative agent.

regards to frivolous lawsuits; and
WHEREAS this has cost the taxpayers in excess of $25,000; and
WHEREAS House Bill 4349 would allow the State to collect court costs and legal fees
resulting from such lawsuits; and
WHEREAS Substitute House Bill 4349 specifically excludes the State of Michigan from re-
couping court costs and legal fees; and
WHEREAS the State and local units of government are often called upon to defend against
frivolous lawsuits, which create a Financial burden on the State and local governmental taxpayers.

cord in support of House Bill 4349 and recommends that it be amended to permit local units of
government to be awarded court costs and attorney fees.

IN RE: OPPOSITION TO HOUSE BILLS 5128 and 5129, COMMUNITY PLACEMENT COSTS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in 1977 the State Department of Mental Health began establishing community place-
ment homes for mentally impaired and developmentally disabled residents with little or no notifi-
cation to county governing bodies, thereby prohibiting proper consideration and inclusion in the
county budget process; and
WHEREAS the State Department of Mental Health now claims that county governments have a
retroactive liability for a share of the costs of these services, based upon the matching funds
requirements of the Mental Health Code; and
WHEREAS this action of the State Department of Mental Health is contrary to the pro-
vision of the Uniform Budget Act which prohibits county governments from adopting deficit budgets
and requires strict adherence to the appropriations process; and
WHEREAS House Bill 5128 which has been introduced in the legislature would forgive the
portion of this implied retroactive liability applicable to the period prior to April 1, 1981; and
WHEREAS a companion bill, House Bill 5129, has also been introduced requiring that the
value of the forgiven liability be counted as State spending paid to local units of government,
thus reducing the State deficit to local governments under the provisions of the Headlee Amendment
to the State Constitution; and
WHEREAS the costs of community placement homes were not included as local programs in the
Headlee Amendment base year computation (Fiscal Year 1978-79), which established the State liability
to local governmental units.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 23, 1984
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes the
recognition of any liability on the part of county governments for debts incurred on their behalf
without proper opportunity for due consideration in the budget appropriations process as required
by the Uniform Budget Act.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes House
Bill 5128 as written and recommends that it be amended to recognize the counties have no obligation
to match community placement home costs incurred by the State Department of Mental Health, unless
county governments have been given prior not with ample opportunity for inclusion in the
budget process.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes House Bill
5129. The consideration of these funds as payment to local units of government, without a corre-
sponding adjustment to the Headlec base year computation, would be in violation of the Constitution.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to all state legislators
representing Oakland County and to the county's legislative agent.

and for those filing an individual return who have total income of $25,000.00 or more; and
WHEREAS since the Michigan Income Tax is based on the "adjusted gross income" from the
Federal tax form, taxpayers will be forced to pay additional state taxes because of the federal
legislation; and
WHEREAS this added tax obligation will be a serious financial imposition on senior citizens
who as a group can least afford a tax increase; and
WHEREAS many other states have already enacted new state legislation to protect their
citizens from an additional state tax beginning in 1984 resulting from the federal law; and
WHEREAS any protection afforded senior citizens from additional income tax liability from
any source of pension income is a realistic policy and a recognition of their difficulty in budget
management as inflation persists.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners go on record
as supporting House Bill 4987 which provides for deduction on the State tax return of social security
income included in the adjusted gross income on the federal tax form.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to all state legislators
representing Oakland County and to the county's legislative agent.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

IN RE: OPPOSITION TO THE CONCEPT OF ALTERING THE FUNDING SOURCE FOR FAMILY COUNSELING AS PROPOSED
IN HOUSE BILLS 4749-4751
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Public Act 128 of 1887 requires a $20 marriage license fee with $15 of this ear-
marked for the funding of family counseling services; and
WHEREAS a package of House Bills (4749, 4750 and 4751) would reduce the marriage license
fee to $5 and delete the $15 for family counseling from the marriage license fee; and
WHEREAS this package of bills would amend the Revised Judicature Act to impose a $25 new
fee for the filing of a divorce action with the entire fee earmarked for family counseling services;
and
WHEREAS since the cost of a divorce action is already a serious financial burden to many
litigants, imposing an entirely new $25 obligation on this group while reducing the fee for marriage
licenses seems to be unrealistic.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes the
concept of altering the funding source for family counseling when no justification for a change has
been demonstrated.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to all legislators repre-
senting Oakland County and to the county's legislative agent.

REPORT
By Planning and Building Committee
IN RE: 1983 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PLANNING AND BUILDING COMMITTEE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
In accordance with Section "E" of Rule X of the Board Rules, your Planning and Building
Committee has begun its biennial inspection of County-owned buildings and grounds. Several of the
buildings were visited on tours made throughout the year. On April 28, 1983, the Courthouse Complex
of buildings was inspected. On May 26, the Work Release Facility and Trusty Camp were visited.
On June 16, aerial and ground inspections of both Oakland/Pontiac and Troy/Oakland Airports were
made. Also, during the summer, the Law Enforcement Center was visited and, in particular, the
recently completed multipurpose room. The September 15th Planning and Building Committee meeting
was held in the Troy Street Building at which time both that building and the neighboring Royal
Oak Market were inspected. On December 7, the Committee visited the North Office Building, the
Social Services Building, and revisited the recently expanded Trusty Camp. In general, those
buildings visited were found to be clean and in good repair. Minor defects were brought to the
attention of staff and have been corrected. The balance of the report will be made upon conclusion
of the tours.
1983 has been a very active year, especially with jail-related projects. The installation
of improved lighting, two-way communications, and a smoke detector system was completed in February.
The new gymnasium was completed in May thereby allowing the former open courtyard to be used both
For indoor exercise and contact visitations. Also, the Trusty Camp was doubled in capacity to 100
inmates. This project was authorized in July and, using "fast-tracking" techniques, was completed
on time, under budget, and ready for occupancy in November. Under the direction of the Maintenance
Division, the shower room in the Work Release Facility was repaired and the dining area will be re-
located to the basement. Also, at the behest of the Jail Study Sub-Committee, assistance was given
in estimating remodeling costs for various inmate housing proposals. Technical assistance is being
provided to the Sheriff's Department on the preparation of bidding documents for the installation of
a TV system for the inmates. The system is scheduled for early 1984. Finally, bidding documents are
being prepared for a major reroofing of the entire Jail. It is expected that this work will be
accomplished in late spring, after the rainy season and under ideal conditions.
The remodeling of the Law Library was completed early in the year. By making use of office
space formerly occupied by the Prosecutor, additional shelving space was provided in the library
proper. This will provide storage for those books acquired over the next several years. Study
carrels were donated by the Oakland County Bar Association.
The remodeling of the North Office Building was completed in July. This allowed Circuit
Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 23, 1984
Court Probation to occupy the first floor and the portable trailers they formerly occupied to be
abandoned. The trailers have since been sold and removed and the site is being restored.
Several projects were authorized and completed during the year including remodeling for
the Board of Commissioners and miscellaneous sidewalk and handicap ramp repairs. Other projects,
including the Royal Oak Market interior renovations, Administrative Annex I remodeling, Courthouse
alarm system, and the Courtyard retaining wail repairs, are expected to be completed in the spring.
A comprehensive study of the Springfield-Oaks Youth Activities Center was also authorized
and a report will be available in early 1984. Work was also begun on leasing a facility for the
Third Division of the 52nd District Court whose current lease expires in May of 1985. Several
meetings were held with the municipalities involved and with interested developers. A location
will be determined by mid-1984.
In related activities, the Facilities Engineering Division furnished environmental assess-
ments for 102 community development projects in 48 Oakland County communities. Engineering services
were also provided to the Airport Committee and the Parks and Recreation Commission for construction
projects at various locations. These include an additional 18 1-Hangars at Troy/Oakland Airport,
and perimeter fencing and a maintenance building addition at Oakland/Pontiac Airport. The Parks and
Recreation projects include the Glen/Oaks Maintenance Building and the Independence/Oaks Nature Center.
Progress continues to be made in energy management. Since 1977, energy consumption has been
reduced by 35 percent in the Service Center facilities. By the end of 1983, this reduction has re-
sulted in cumulative savings of over $4,000,000.
The Department of Central Services received an award for the development and ongoing operation
of the Service Center. The award was presented by the Michigan Society of Professional Engineers at
their outstanding engineering achievements award banquet on February 12, 1983, at Mercy College. This
award marked the second time in two years that the Service Center was so recognized.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Planning and Building Committee, I move the acceptance of
the foregoing report.

IN RE: SUPPORT OF HOUSE BILLS 4970 THROUGH 4976 TO AMEND THE ENERGY ASSURANCE PROGRAM
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the cost of providing energy has continued to accelerate for the past several years,
mandating that energy providers revitalize and modernize their capacity to provide affordable energy
6nd to control future costs; and
WHEREAS social programs such as the lifeline rate structure have failed to meet the needs
of many of our truly needy citizens and have markedly increased the cost burden to the average rate
payer; and
WHEREAS the Governor, the Legislature, the major energy provider, and the Public Service
Commission have been working in concert to develop an energy assurance program to protect the long-
term well being of the State's welfare population, working poor, and elderly without disproportionately
burdening the average rate payer or businesses of the State of Michigan; and
WHEREAS the passage of these pieces of legislation are a vital element to provide for all
of our citizens' and Michigan's future and will create an atmosphere in which rate increase requests
should be evaluated by the Michigan Public Service Commission.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners goes on record
as supporting House Bills 4970-4976 as amended by the Michigan State Senate.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby request
that the Michigan Public Service Commission should exercise due diligence and understanding of the
impact of the energy assurance program and the long-term needs and well being of the people of the
State of Michigan in determining the appropriate rate levels to be allowed.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Governor of the State
of Michigan, all Oakland County Legislators, the members of the Michigan Public Service Commission,
and Oakland County's Legislative Agent.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

IN RE: PROTECTIVE LEGISLATION AGAINST FRIVOLOUS LAWSUITS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the State House of Representatives adopted House Bill 4349 in November, 1983, which
amends the Revised Judicature Act of 1961, as amended, which would cause the State to pay for the
costs and fees incurred by a defendent in any suit which the State has brought and in which it does
not prevail, and the court determines that such State instituted civil action was frivolous; and
WHEREAS in a number of instances, civil lawsuits brought by one party against another are
dismissed by the courts on the basis that the action was without merit; and
WHEREAS this type of protective legislation against such frivolous lawsuits should be
afforded to all units of government and citizens of this State.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby
request that the State legislature amend House Bill 4349 to include protection for all of its units
of government and for all of its citizens from injury, harassment, and embarrassment of frivolous
civil lawsuits.

IN RE: RESCINDMENT OF THE POLICE-FIRE COMPULSORY ARBITRATION ACT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Act 312 compulsory arbitration process has been disastrous for Oakland County
and its citizens; and
WHEREAS serious difficulties and excessive costs to the taxpayers have resulted from the
operation of the Police-Fire Arbitration Act; and
WHEREAS the Michigan law provides for "last best offer arbitration" on each economic issue,
rather than on the total package submitted by the employer or union, which is an undesirable departure
from standard practice in arbitration; and
WHEREAS major defects in Act 312 compulsory arbitration include a lack of consideration of
ability to pay; a lack of adequate records; a lack of effective time limits on the process, leading
to awards averaging more than 12 months from the time of inception; an unwise process of last offer
issue by issue, rather than last offer package proposals, which has led to awards which are political
compromises, and use of ad hoc arbitrators rather than a small group of full-time, career adminis-
trative law judges, who have continuing accountability for their decisions; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes compulsory arbitration of public
employee labor disputes because: (1) it is destructive of collective bargaining throughout the public
sector and is an improper intrusion on the legislative authority of locally elected officials, (2)
arbitrators who make awards have no responsibility for implementation nor for the consequences of
actions which flow from them, (3) experience in Michigan has demonstrated that compulsory arbitration
imposes excessive cost burdens on public employers and the citizens they serve; (4) in the absence
of a statute compelling arbitration at the request of either party, voluntary arbitration is avail-
able for use by the parties, and the parties ought to be free to use arbitration or not use arbi-
tration, depending upon the circumstances; and (5) imposed agreements tend to be arbitrary, and it
is far more desirable for public employers and organized employees to bargain to finality in reaching
agreements under which they must operate.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges the
Legislature to rescind the Police-Fire Compulsory Arbitration Act.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen;
WHEREAS completion of 1-696 will become a reality; and
49 Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 23, 1984
WHEREAS 1-696 will encourage economic development and be a benefit to all of Oakland
County; and
WHEREAS Public Act 51 of 1951 requires units of local government with a population of
greater than 30,000 to participate in the construction costs to projects similar to 1-696; and
WHEREAS the local share of remaining construction costs are $2,820,150.40 spread over
the next eight (8) years, or $352,518.80 annually; and
WHEREAS construction of 1-696 will result in property annual tax revenue losses of
approximately $180,000 to the cities which are required to participate in local funding; and
WHEREAS participation is in addition to the maintenance burden (estimated to be $178,000
annually); and
WHEREAS additional gas and weight tax revenues to be received by local governments are
insufficient to meet the additional maintenance cost; and
WHEREAS the cities of Royal Oak, Oak Park and Southfield would be required to fund a
project which will benefit most county residents under the current arrangement.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Board of Commissioners appropriate $352,518.80 to cover
the 1984 local portion of 1-696.

transfer agents for the notes, authenticate the original and any re-issued notes and will pay
principal and interest to the registered holders of the notes as shown on the records on the ap-
plicable date of record. The date of record shall be October with respect to payments made on
November 1, and April with respect to payments made on May 1.
PURPOSE: The notes are issued for the purpose of establishing the 100% Tax Payment Fund
of the County for the 1983 tax year and for the purpose of establishing a $ 1984 Note Reserve
Fund.
PRIMARY SECURITY: The notes are primarily secured by: (1) all of the collections of the
1983 real property taxes due and payable to taxing units in the County, including the County, which
were returned delinquent on March 1, 1984, together with all interest thereon; (2) all of the property
tax administration fees on such delinquent taxes, once the expenses of borrowing have been paid; and
(3) any amounts which are received by the County from the taxing units within the County because of
the uncollectability of such delinquent taxes.

Note Reserve Fund shall be used solely for payment of principal and interest on the notes or for the
purchase of notes for which the fund was established. Moneys in the 1984 Note Reserve Fund shall be
withdrawn first for payment of principal and interest on notes before other County general funds are
used to make the payments. When the 1984 Note Reserve Fund is sufficient to retire the notes and
accrued interest thereon, it may be used for purchase of such notes on the market, or, if notes are
not available, to retire notes when due.
GENERAL OBLIGATION WITHOUT UNLIMITED POWER TO TAX: In addition, this note issue is a
general obligation of the County, secured by its full faith and credit, which shall include the limited
tax obligation of the County, within applicable constitutional and statutory limits, and its general
funds. THE COUNTY DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER TO LEVY ANY ADDITIONAL TAXES FOR THE PAYMENT OF THE NOTES

[The following paragraph is optional and will be inserted in the Notice of Sale if the
note issue qualifies for insurance.]

insurance covering the notes. All bids shall be conditioned upon the issuance effective as of the date
on which the notes are issued, of a policy of insurance by guaranteeing the payment of
principal and interest on the notes. Each note will bear a legend referring to the insurance. The
purchaser, holder or owner is not authorized to make any statement regarding the insurance beyond
those set out here and in the note legend.
AWARD OF THE NOTES: For the purpose of awarding the notes, the interest cost of each
bid will be computed by determining, at the rate specified therein, the total dollar amount of all
interest on the notes from , 1984, to their maturity and deducting therefrom any premium or
adding thereto any discount. The notes will be awarded to the bidder whose bid on the above com-
putation produces the lowest interest to the County. No proposal for less than % of par, nor
less than all the notes, will be considered. Each bidder, for the convenience of the County, shall
state in his bid the net interest cost to the County, computed in the manner above specified.
GOOD FAITH: A certified check, cashier's check or bank money order in the amount of 2%
of the par value of the notes drawn upon an incorporated bank or trust company and payable to the
order of the County Treasurer must accompany each bid as a guarantee of good faith on the part of
the bidder, to be forfeited as liquidated damages if such bid is accepted and the bidder fails to
take up and pay for the notes. No interest will be allowed on good faith deposits. The good faith
check of the winning bidder will be promptly cashed, and the amount received therefor will be credited
against the purchase price as of the date of delivery. Checks of unsuccessful bidders will be promptly
returned to each bidder's representative or returned by registered mail. In the event the notes can-
not be issued or delivered for any reason, the County will pay back to the successful bidder the
principal amount of the good faith check without Interest.
LEGAL OPINION: Bids shall be conditioned upon the unqualified approving opinion of Axe
Schwartz, attorneys of Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, approving the legality of the notes, a copy of
which will be printed on the reverse side of each note, and the original of the opinion will be de-
livered without expense to the purchaser of the notes at the delivery thereof.

affecting the issuance of the notes, will be delivered at the time of delivery of the notes. If the
notes are not tendered for delivery by twelve o'clock noon, Michigan Time, on the 45th day following
the date of sale, or the first business day thereafter, if said 45th day is not a business day, the
successful bidder may on that day, or any time thereafter until delivery of the notes, withdraw his
proposal by serving notice of cancellation on the undersigned, in writing, in which event the County
shall promptly return the good faith deposit. Payment for the notes shall be made in Federal Reserve
funds. Accrued interest to the date of delivery of the notes shall be paid by the purchaser at the
time of delivery.

expense of the County. The printing of incorrect Cusip numbers or the failure to print the Cusip

IN RE: OPPOSITION TO HOUSE BILL 4871 PROVIDING FOR MONTHLY APPORTIONMENT OF PENAL FINES TO LIBRARIES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS at the present time the county treasurer apportions penal fines to public and county
libraries annually; and
WHEREAS House Bill 4871 would require that the apportionment be done on a monthly basis; and
WHEREAS this proposed change would require twelve times more time and money to process the
penal fine distribution at an increased cost to Oakland County of about $2,500 per year; and
WHEREAS since this legislation is sponsored by a Representative from a small county in
northeastern Michigan presumably to solve a local problem, House Bill 4871 should be amended to include
only counties with a few libraries rather than large counties such as Oakland with thirty-five local
libraries.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes House
Bill 4871 in its present form.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to the legislators representing
Oakland County and the county's legislative agent.

IN RE: OPPOSITION TO HOUSE BILL 4816 - INCREASING REGISTER OF DEEDS FEES FROM $3 TO $5
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the current fee charged by registers of deeds for entering and recording a deed,
mortgage, notice of attachment, or other instrument is $3 for the first page and $2 for each additional
page; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Association of Registers of Deeds requested the fee increase from
$3 to $5 for the first page proposed in House Bill 4816 claiming that the current fee set by statute
in 1973 is no longer realistic due to inflation which has increased the cost of processing such
documents; and
WHEREAS while inflation has unquestionably increased the cost of office procedures, in-
flation has also resulted in increased income for registers of deeds because of the Revenue Stamp
Tax of $1.10 per thousand dollars of the sales price to record a deed; and
WHEREAS it appears that any added cost of processing documents experienced in recent years
by registers of deeds would be more than offset by the increased revenue from the Stamp Tax due to
the inflationary trend in real estate prices during nearly all of the past eleven years.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners takes a
position opposing House Bill 4816 which has already passed the House.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to the State Senators
representing Oakland County.

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Substitute for House Bill 4994, which would create the Michigan Antitrust Reform
Act, has passed the House and is now in the Senate Judiciary Committee; and
WHEREAS this proposed legislation contains a provision which expressly exempts governmental
units from anti-trust suits when the local unit is acting in an area authorized by law; and
WHEREAS this exemption provision for local governmental units was developed by the State
Bar of Michigan in recognition of the vital need for protection against anti-trust litigation and the
accompanying legal expenses; and
WHEREAS Substitute for House Bill 4994, besides having the support of the State Bar, is
also supported by the Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan. the National Federation of
Independent Business/Michigan, the Small Business Association of Michigan and many other groups.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports the

IN RE: SUPPORT OF SENATE DILL 514 INU,EASING THE MINIMUM EXEMPTION IN PROBATE ESTATES FROM $2,500
to $5,000
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Senate Bill 514 would amend the Probate Code by raising the Small Estate juris-
dictional amount from $2,500 to $5,000; and
WHEREAS the proposed increase from $2,500 to $5,000 is a realistic recognition of the in-
flation factor in determining the jurisdictional amount of the Small Estate; and
WHEREAS the increased jurisdictional amount of a Small Estate will increase the number of
Small Estate filings and reduce overall paperwork in the Probate process because Small Estates are
essentially handled with one document and one visit to the court; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Probate Judges support Senate Bill 514 even though there will
be a slight loss of revenue to the court because presently estates over $2,500 require a $15 filing
fee, but with enactment of Senate Bill 514, the $15 fee will be lost on estates between $2,500 and
$5,000.

Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Public Act 423 of 1980 amended the Mental Health Code to allow community mental

residential services rather than 90" state funding and 10% county match as was previously the case;

vision in Act 423 and, unless this act is amended before that date, funding will return to the 90-10

meaningful volunteer activities aimed at improving the quality of life in our community and county

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in the early years of this century when garbage pickup standards and regulations
against potential animal harborage were lax, rats became a problem in some parts of Michigan; and
WHEREAS to combat this problem the Michigan Legislature passed Act 50 of the Public Acts
of 1915 allowing a bounty on rats of 10 cents per head; and
WHEREAS Section 3 of the so-called Rat Bounty Law (being 433.253 of the Michigan Compiled
Laws) further provided that a county could terminate liability for payment of a rat bounty only when
the Board of Commissioners by resolution declares this law to be no longer operative; and
WHEREAS present day sanitation controls mandating cleanliness, prompt garbage pickup, anti-
harborage standards and other regulations have eliminated ary serious rat problems in Oakland County; and
WHEREAS the motivation to go rat hunting with guns, clubs and poison circa 1915 to reduce the
rat population and at the same time collect some bounty money belongs to the past.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby declares
that Act 50 of the Public Acts of 1915 is no longer operative in Oakland County.

IN RE: CONTINUED OPPOSITION TO ATTEMPTS BY THE STATE TO AVOID ITS CONSTITUTIONAL OBLIGATION TO
RETURN STATE REVENUE TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN THE SAME PROPORTION THAT EXISTED IN 1978-79
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Section 30 of Article IX of the State Constitution requires that State revenue
be returned to local governments in the same proportion that existed in 1978-79; and
WHEREAS the State has not met this constitutional requirement thereby forcing local
governments to bear a disproportionately large share of State budget problems; and
WHEREAS Senate Bill 476 was previously introduced which intended to relieve the State
of a portion of its obligation to local units of government by counting as payments to local units
of government the costs of functions assumed by the State after December 22, 1978; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Connissioners opposed this action by Miscellaneous
Resolution 1183359, dated December 8, 1983; and
WHEREAS an amended Senate Bill 476 has now been introduced which would specifically count
as distribution to local governments the funds expended by the State for the care of mentally ill
and developmentally disabled persons in State Institutions without concurring contractual agreements
with the local governments involved; and
WHEREAS the consideration of such Funds as payments to local units of government without
concurring contracts or without a corresponding adjustment of the Headlee base year computation
would be in violation of the Constitution.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes the
amended Senate Bill 476.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners, in order to assure that local
governments receive proper allocation under the Headlee amendment provision, directs Corporation
Counsel to take whatever action may be necessary to challenge this matter in Court, at such time
that Senate Bill 476 passes the legislature and is signed into law by the Governor.

IN RE: OPPOSE ANY IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MICHIGAN LOBBYING ACT WHICH WOULD INTERFERE WITH THE
ORDERLY OPERATION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Act 472 of the Public Acts of 1978 (the Lobby Law) was enacted on October 19, 1978;
and
WHEREAS this law aimed at regulating lobbyist activities has already survived a protracted
court challenge and still poses many unanswered questions in connection with its belated imple-
mentation; and
WHEREAS soon after being signed into law, litigation over the constitutionality of Act 472
was started and the legal dispute dragged on until last fall when the State Supreme Court upheld
the constitutionality of the Act; and
WHEREAS because of the lengthy legal dispute, Act 472 was in a state of limbo for several
years and was not given its January 1, 1984 effective date until litigation was resolved; and
WHEREAS as mandated in Section 16 of Act 472, the Office of the Michigan Secretary of
State has begun efforts to implement the Act; and
WHEREAS it has become increasingly apparent that the rules required for such implementation
and articulation could result in costly inefficiencies and undue interference with the conduct of
local government; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May z4, 1984 150
WHEREAS the difficult task of implementing Act 472 is compounded by the facts that many
provisions of the Act are open to wide interpretation and that many legislators feel that the Act
has so many flaws it should be totally restructured.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges the
State Leeislature as it considers amendatory language to Act 472 to eliminate any provisions which
in any way would interfere with the orderly operation of local government.

legislators and to the County's Legislative Agent.

ACTIONS AGAINST GOVERNMENTAL UNITS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS for many years, segments of the legal community have been citing the need for the
Michigan Legislature to wrestle with the task of writing a new statute governing governmental

WHEREAS just three months ago the Michigan Bar Journal in a nine-page report concluded
that a "new statute addressing governmental immunity Is sorely needed"; and
WHEREAS while House Bills 5464 and 5465 are but a small portion of the total governmental
immunity reform needed, these bills would somewhat limit the extent to which a municipality such as
Oakland County can be treated as "deep pocket" for recovery purposes when multiple defendants are
involved and when comparative negligence is an issue.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners takes a
position supporting House Bills 51.61. and 5465.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to all legislators from

The elimination of Service Increment for new hires has been negotiated with the majority of the
County's represented employees. While the savings from this benefit change will not be realized
for 7 years, it will eventually be substantial. This rule change will standarize this benefit
for the majority of the employees appointed after July 1, 1984. It is expected that this benefit
modification will be included in all collective bargaining agreements by the end of 1985.

IN RE: OPPOSITION TO HOUSE BILL 4224 WHICH SPECIFIES THAT MENTALLY ILL PERSONS BE INCLUDED IN
ADULT FOSTER CARE FACILITIES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS when the Adult Foster Care Facility Licensing Act was passed by the State Legislature
and signed into law in 1979, it made no mention of receiving "mentally ill" persons for care in such
facilities; and
WHEREAS House Bill 4224 would amend the Adult Foster Care Facility Licensing Act by including
"mentally ill" persons as eligible instead of "emotionally disturbed" persons who were specified in
the 1979 Act; and
WHEREAS numerous hearings were held on the legislation that resulted in the 1979 Act so it
is very clear that the lawmakers who were involved in the Adult Foster Care Facility Licensing Act
intended that "mentally ill" persons should not be included in the law; and
WHEREAS House Bill 4224 which has passed the House and is now in the Senate Committee on
Education and Health, requires only that an operator of a foster care facility be of good moral
character, physically and mentally stable and at least 18 years of age, but has no requirement for
expertise in relations with the "mentally ill"; and
WHEREAS this bill would require the State Department of Mental Health to promulgate rules
for certification of specialized programs for mentally ill residents of foster care facilities and
provides for payment to the facility for offering specialized programs but is not specific on the
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 24, 1984 162
amount to be paid; and
WHEREAS according to the State Department of Mental Health, 767 of the 3,733 licensed
foster care facilities currently provide specialized programs and have attained certification
but there is no mandate in the bill for the balance of the facilities to offer specialized pro-
grams and seek certification.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners take a
position opposing House Bill 4224.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to the four State Senators

lake whatever action is required to avoid any EPA sanctions; and

ating funds For construction of sewage treatment works, would impose a severe penalty on Oakland
County because the state has failed to meet EPA standards; and

responsibilities to states for certain programs and then, when a state fails to meet its responsi-
bility, to impose sanctions on local governments which are totally innocent of non-compliance.

IN RE: SENATE BILL 401 (OPPOSE) WHICH WOULD CREATE BOTH STATE AND LOCAL CHILD FOSTER CARE REVIEW BOARDS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Senate Bill 401 would create a new public act which would establish a state child
foster care review board and a network of some twenty-five local child foster care review boards; and
WHEREAS while the intent of Senate Bill 401 to improve foster care through statewide citizen
input is commendable, this legislation would add another layer of bureaucracy on a system which now
has ample input from probate courts, the Department of Social Services and private agencies; and
WHEREAS since child foster care review boards would not be legally empowered, their decision
would carry no force to law which would hinder their effectiveness; and
WHEREAS this legislation mandating new local services would be in violation of the State
Constitution if the state fails to appropriate funds to cover all costs resulting from the mandate; and
WHEREAS both the Oakland County Probate Court and the Health and Human Resources Committee
have reviewed this legislation and both recommend that it be opposed.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners takes a position

this Agreement:
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants of each other, the parties
hereto agree as follows;
1. The parties hereto approve the construction of the PROJECT and the providing of services
therefrom in the Counties of WAYNE and OAKLAND. The PROJECT shall serve an area in WAYNE and OAKLAND,
as described in Exhibit "A" hereto, by construction of the facilities described as the PROJECT on
Exhibit "F" hereto. All existing facilities, allocated capacities and treatment rights of the ROUGE
VALLEY SYSTEM, as referenced in the BASIC CONTRACT: the existing facilities, allocated capacities and
treatment rights of the HURON-ROUGE SYSTEM; and the additional facilities, allocated capacities and
treatment rights of the PROJECT, as shown on Exhibits "8", "C" and "F" hereto, are hereby combined by
approval and/or execution of this Agreement by WAYNE and OAKLAND and the LOCAL UNITS into one system
which shall be known as THE NORTH HURON VALLEY-ROUGE VALLEY WASTEWATER CONTROL SYSTEM, hereinafter
referred to as the "SYSTEM". The "BASIC CONTRACT" for the ROUGE VALLEY SYSTEM and the contracts for
the HURON-ROUGE SYSTEM shall remain in full force and effect among the parties thereto except as
amended hereby.
2. The PROJECT shall be constructed as hereinafter provided in three segments. Such seg-
ments and the facilities to be constructed within each segment are described in Exhibit "F" attached.
3. The parties hereto approve the total estimated cost of the entire PROJECT, the cost of
each segment set out above and the allocation of the costs of the PROJECT by percentages and in the
estimated dollar amounts, all as set forth in Exhibit "E" hereto. Said estimated costs include or
exclude the items described in said Exhibits.
4a. It is anticipated by the parties hereto that the PROJECT to be constructed will qualify
for a segmented Federal grant in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 40 35.2108
(40 CFR 35.2108). For purposes of financing the PROJECT, it is anticipated that the PROJECT will be
eligible for Federal grants with respect to Segment 1, Segment 2 and Segment 3, in amounts as indi-
cated by the difference between the "Project" and "total" amounts shown on Exhibit "E", with the
possible exceptions of Elements 68 and 78 of Segment 3, as shown on Exhibits ur. and "E". All parties
hereby agree that the PROJECT shall be completed as required by the provisions of said 40 CFR 35.2108,
as now or hereafter in effect. The LOCAL UNITS to this Agreement shall be obligated to participate in
the financing of the PROJECT and be liable for payments due for the construction of all grant eligible
segments of the PROJECT until all grant eligible segments of the PROJECT are financed, constructed
and placed in service, even if Federal funds are not available.
4b. It is the understanding of the parties hereto that in the event that any components
or elements of the PROJECT are declared to be ineligible for a federal grant then the LOCAL UNIT or
UNITS involved must pay to construct the said components or elements at their own expense, and the
other parties to this Agreement shall participate in a proportionate share of the non-federal grant
share of the costs of construction of the facility equivalent to the local share costs in accordance
with this Agreement. The LOCAL UNIT or UNITS must participate and pay to complete construction of
these elements or components within the time frame for construction of the PROJECT contemplated by
this Agreement; otherwise, the obligation of the other parties to this paragraph 4b is void.
5. The parties to this Agreement will cooperate and will timely take whatever action is
necessary so as to meet their obligations under this Agreement.
6. WAYNE shall, forthwith, enter into negotiations to amend the aforementioned existing
Rouge Valley Sewage Disposal and Sewer Use Agreements with the City of Detroit relating to the trans-
portation and treatment of sewage from the area to be served by the PROJECT. WAYNE shall request
that the Federal District Court, if it continues to exercise control of the Detroit Sewage Disposal
System through its receivership, (See Federal District Court Case No. 771100), review and approve
these amended Agreements. WAYNE shall notify all the appropriate parties to the aforementioned lawsuit,
198 Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 26, 1984

mental Protection Agency, of the submittal of the amended Agreements to the Court.
7. WAYNE and OAKLAND will acquire and construct the portions of the PROJECT within their
respective jurisdictions, and will cause bids to be taken for such acquisition and construction and
will cause contracts to be executed, resolutions adopted and other actions taken necessary to finance
the PROJECT. WAYNE and OAKLAND, with the consent of all LOCAL UNITS, may hereafter agree, by amend-
ment to this Agreement, 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 construction contract be entered into for the ac-
quisition of any component or segment of the PROJECT prior to receipt of cash payments or the sale
of bonds necessary for the financing of that component or segment of the PROJECT.
8. The PROJECT shall be acquired and become additions to the SYSTEM in accordance with
Facilities Plans approved by Michigan Department of Natural Resources (herein the "MDNR"), and
United States Environmental Protection Administration (herein the "USEPA"), and as described in the
applications for grants and in the Exhibits approved by this Agreement. The PROJECT shall be ac-
quired and constructed substantially in accordance with the final plans and specifications and cost
estimates to be prepared and submitted by the consulting engineers, but variations therefrom during
construction which do not materially change the location, capacity, or overall design of the PROJECT,
and which do not require an increase in the final estimated cost of the PROJECT, may be permitted on
the authority of WAYNE or OAKLAND, as applicable. Other variations or changes may be made as approved
by WAYNE or OAKLAND, as applicable, and by resolutions of the governing bodies of the LOCAL UNITS
affected, as provided in Paragraph 30 hereof. But in no event shall any change reduce the capacities
of each party to the Agreement as set forth in Exhibit "C". All matters relating to engineering plans
and specifications, together with the making and letting of final contracts for acquisition and con-
struction of the PROJECT, the approval of the work and materials therefor, and construction super-
vision, 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.

payments, but if such parties hereto shall breach such obligation, WAYNE shall be authorized to
terminate or reduce such delivery rights or to transfer such delivery rights to other public corpo-
rations, whether a party hereto or not, subject to the provisions of paragraphs 13 and 34.
11. The parties hereto agree that WAYNE will be responsible to operate, maintain and ad-
minister the facilities located within Wayne, and OAKLAND will be responsible to operate, maintain
and administer the facilities located within Oakland, and DETROIT will be responsible to operate,
maintain and administer the facilities within the City of Detroit. OAKLAND and the WAYNE LOCAL UNITS
will pay WAYNE the costs of the operation, maintenance and administration of facilities within WAYNE
and the costs charged to WAYNE by DETROIT for the operation, maintenance and administration of
facilities located within the City of Detroit. WAYNE and OAKLAND 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 obligations applicable thereto. WAYNE AND OAKLAND

the LOCAL UNITS in the Service Area and not individual users therein, unless by special agreement
between WAYNE or OAKLAND and a LOCAL UNIT wherein a user is located. WAYNE and OAKLAND shall place
upon 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
facilities of the SYSTEM, except by specific written approval of WAYNE and OAKLAND. The responsi-
bility for collection of wastewater and delivering the same to the SYSTEM shall be that of OAKLAND
and each WAYNE LOCAL UNIT. The WAYNE LOCAL UNITS shall cause to be constructed and maintained, in
accordance with regulations of WAYNE, their local 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 or OAKLAND may, with the approval of the other, agree 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 to inure to the benefit of the system
and appropriate buy-in payment to the SYSTEM shall be arranged, providing further, that service to
any LOCAL UNITS or area outside the Service Area does not result in either OAKLAND, the WAYNE LOCAL
UNITS or the OAKLAND LOCAL UNITS exceeding their contracted right to delivery allocation, as set
forth in Exhibit "C". If the projected capacities set forth in Exhibit "C" cannot be accommodated by
the SYSTEM, when it is completed and put in operation, the affected LOCAL UNIT shall have the option
to utilize any other sewerage system available to it.
I3a. In the event that OAKLAND, OAKLAND LOCAL UNITS or WAYNE LOCAL UNITS desire to sell
rights to deliver wastewater acquired under this agreement, WAYNE shall apply the following:
I. The LOCAL UNIT desiring to sell rights to deliver wastewater must retain sufficient
rights to serve their community for the next twenty (20) years.
2. Rights to deliver wastewater acquired under this Agreement cannot be conveyed until
the LOCAL UNIT has utilized or connitted to use the rights obtained under the BASIC CONTRACT.
3. The LOCAL UNIT desiring to convey any rights to deliver wastewater acquired under
this Agreement must first offer to the other LOCAL UNITS, except the Cities of Romulus, Plymouth and
Northville, WAYNE and Institutions (which have not acquired any rights to deliver wastewater under
this Agreement) the right of first refusal to acquire the rights proposed to be conveyed.
4. After the exhaustion of the right of first refusal outlined herein, communities who
were signatories to the BASIC CONTRACT i.e., Cities of Romulus, Plymouth, Northville, WAYNE, and
institutions may acquire rights to deliver wastewater from other LOCAL UNITS.
5. Communities who have rights to deliver wastewater under the BASIC CONTRACT and who
have not acquired rights to deliver wastewater under this Agreement may convey and acquire rights
to deliver wastewater in accordance with the provisions of the BASIC CONTRACT subject to meeting
the criteria of 1 above.
6. Notice of such proposed conveyance, 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 conveying LOCAL
UNIT written refusal of consent, or any LOCAL UNIT shall have sent to the conveying LOCAL UNIT
written offer to take such conveyance on terms agreed upon as hereinafter provided, the conveying
LOCAL unit may make such conveyance.

event, the terms of such conveyance shall be mutually agreed upon by the conveying party, the re-
questing party and WAYNE, and OAKLAND if involved.
8. If more than one LOCAL UNIT elects to take up such proposed conveyance, the conveying
LOCAL UNIT may negotiate with each LOCAL UNIT so electing.
9. Any conveyance as provided for in this Agreement shall not occur until approved by
WAYNE (and OAKLAND when involved) as to the community receiving the rights, payment arrangements and
amounts. WAYNE and OAKLAND shall not unreasonably withhold their approval.
13b. It is further agreed that WAYNE shall approve the appropriate payment for the rights to
be conveyed and shall take into account the fair share of each LOCAL UNIT's financial contribution to
planning, engineering, capital and financing costs of the ROUGE VALLEY SYSTEM, the HURON-ROUGE
SYSTEM and the PROJECT, and the methods by which these costs were originally determined as shown on
Exhibit "G", before approving any assignment of rights hereunder. Refunds or credits to LOCAL UNITS
not directly involved in an assignment may be included in the approved payment arrangements if deemed
appropriate by WAYNE.
14. All parties hereto recognize that WAYNE will be responsible to supervise the operation

maintenance of the facilities of the SYSTEM, including repair and replacement of SYSTEM equipment,
accessories, or appurtenances necessary to maintain the capacity and performance 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 of im-
provements made to these facilities of the SYSTEM. The funds obtained by WAYNE from Rates shall
only be used for purposes necessary to the operation, maintenance, administration and repair or
replacement of the facilities as originally designed and constructed. Rates charged by OAKLAND,
including the Rates to be paid to WAYNE shall be set pursuant to contracts among OAKLAND and the
OAKLAND LOCAL UNITS.
15. OAKLAND 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 a report on forms
provided by WAYNE. The payment and the report are due within forty-five (45) days after the month
of service. The WAYNE LOCAL UNITS and OAKLAND agree to pay Rates promptly, without reduction, with-
out regard to whether or not charges for the use 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 pay-
ment of such Rates by the WAYNE LOCAL UNITS, and OAKLAND shall be a general obligation of such
parties, and WAYNE shall have the right to utilize any method permitted by law for collection of
such Rates.
16. Each LOCAL UNIT shall adopt a User Charge system with respect to individual users
which complies with the rules and regulations promulgated by WAYNE and the USEPA. 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 as provided in paragraph 21 hereof. WAYNE shall
prepare schedules specifying pollutants and discharges to be subject to surcharge and defining
normal loadings with respect to specified pollutants. The LOCAL UNITS recognize that their in-
dividual User Charge systems shall be subject to applicable USEPA 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 OAKLAND LOCAL UNITS abide by the provisions of this Agreement.
17. 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 be 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 Com-
mittee the projected budget for the SYSTEM, setting forth in such detail as the Committee shall
request projected costs of operating, maintaining, 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 shall be authorized by law to make final determinations as to the Rates of the SYSTEM. WAYNE
shall, as part of the operation and administration of the SYSTEM, select an outside auditor to con-
duct 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 than three (3) consecutive years, nor more than eight (8) consecutive years. Prior to ini-
tiating 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 respect to the annual audit and shall include
within said scope of work the reasonable requests submitted by the Committee. WAYNE will then re-
quest the qualified outside auditors named by WAYNE and the Committee to submit proposals to per-
form 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.

18. WAYNE shall establish general SYSTEM use rules and regulations consistent with 33 USC 1251,
etc., (the Federal Clean Water Act) and the USEPA rules and regulations controlling the quantity and
quality of the discharge of the users to the SYSTEM. Nothing herein shall prohibit WAYNE from estab-
lishing rules and regulations more stringent than those required by the aforesaid Act, if, in the judg-
ment 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.
19. Except with respect to those areas within the Service Area being served at the time of
the execution of this Agreement by combined sewers, which areas may continue to be served by existing
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 AND OAKLAND'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.
20. 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.
21. Each LOCAL UNIT, and OAKLAND, shall be responsible for the character of the wastewater
originating within its boundaries, and shall comply with the standards, rules and regulations con-
trolling discharge of wastewater to the SYSTEM, specifically industrial and/or commercial wastes as
adopted and imposed by DETROIT and WAYNE. Each LOCAL UNIT and OAKLAND, by contract or by the adoption
of appropriate ordinances, shall enforce such rules and regulations and shall provide for and collect
appropriate surcharges. 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, and a surcharge over
and above the regular Rates shall be established by DETROIT for the receipt of such discharge, or if
such discharge cannot be received by the SYSTEM, WAYNE may pass on such surcharge or require that such
discharge be pretreated before transmission to the SYSTEM. If necessary, WAYNE and DETROIT 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 and DETROIT may take all steps necessary to accomplish such denial.
22. WAYNE and OAKLAND each agree to finance the PROJECT in accordance with any lawful means
available to it. WAYNE and OAKLAND each will take the following general steps:
(a) WAYNE will submit to its Commission and Oakland will submit to its Board of Commis-
sioners, 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. After
due adoption of the appropriate resolutions or ordinances, WAYNE and OAKLAND each will take all
necessary 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 OAKLAND will pay WAYNE for its part of the cost of the
PROJECT to be constructed by WAYNE.
(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 Wayne
County as specified and approved in this Agreement, in accordance with the plans and specifications
therefor as approved herein. Said contracts will specify completion dates presently estimated to be
as follows:
Segment 1: June, 1987 Segment 2: June, 1988 Segment 3: June, 1989
(c) WAYNE will require and procure from contractors undertaking the actual construction
and acquisition of the said facilities in WAYNE, necessary and proper bonds to guarantee the perfor-
mance 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.
(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,
Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 26, 1984 202
including specifically the establishment of appropriate User Charge and industrial cost recovery
systems and the adoption or an appropriate sewer use ordinance, in accordance with prescribed time-
tables.
23. OAKLAND agrees that it will timely use any available legal means to finance that
portion of the PROJECT located in OAKLAND and its share of the obligations to WAYNE and or DETROIT.
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 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 OAKLAND to WAYNE shall be invested by WAYNE to the extent possible, and the interest thereon
shall accrue to the account of OAKLAND. WAYNE will not enter into any construction contracts for
the SYSTEM until financing is arranged by OAKLAND and the proceeds are available to assure payment
of its obligations to WAYNE.
24. It is understood and agreed that WAYNE and the WAYNE LOCAL UNITS will timely use any
available legal means to finance their share of that portion of the PROJECT located in WAYNE and
their share of the obligations to DETROFT. 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 fi-
nancieg, WAYNE shall notify said WAYNE LOCAL UNITS of the amount of such fees and other costs and
expenses, and said WAYNE LOCAL UNITS shall, within thirty (30) days from such notification, remit
to WAYNE sufficient funds to meet such financing fees and other costs and expenses in which WAYNE
may, at its option, include bond handling costs, bank letters of credit expenses and other charges.
The percentage share of each LOCAL UNIT of such costs and other expenses in connection with financing
shall be in proportion to its debt service payments.
25. Each WAYNE LOCAL UNIT, pursuant to authorization of Michigan law, hereby irrevocably
pledges its full faith and credit for the prompt and timely payment of all of its obligations as
expressed in this Agreement. Pursuant to such pledge, if other funds are not available, the WAYNE
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 becoming due before the time of the following year's tax
collections, such annual levy, however, to be subject to applicable charter, statutory and con-
stitutional tax limitations. The debt service portion of the foregoing commitment of each WAYNE
LOCAL UNIT is expressly recognized as being for the purpose of providing funds to meet contractual
obligations as set out herein in anticipation of which the financing hereinbefore referred to is
arranged. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent any WAYNE LOCAL UNIT from using
any, or any combination of, means and methods for the purpose of providing funds to meet its ob-
ligations under this agreement, and if at the time of making the annual tax levy there shall be
other funds on hand earmarked and set aside for the payment of the contractual obligations due
prior to the next tax collection 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 Agreement, in which event WAYNE shall credit the appropriate WAYNE LOCAL UNIT with such ad-
vance payment of future-due obligations to the extent of such advanced payment.
27. In the event any WAYNE 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
agreement, for rates or for its share of the costs of the PROJECT, WAYNE shall immediately give
notice of such default and the amount thereof, in writing, to the LOCAL UNIT Treasurer, the WAYNE
County Treasurer, the Treasurer of the State of Michigan and such other officials charged with dis-
bursement to such party of funds returned by the State and now or hereafter 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, specifically 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 voluntarily to 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 Agreement. In addition
to the foregoing, WAYNE shall have all other rights and remedies provided by law to enforce the ob-
ligations 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 .. OAKLAND shall include this same para-
graph in its contracts for financing and/or service with the OAKLAND LOCAL UNITS, and OAKLAND hereby
guarantees timely payment by the OAKLAND LOCAL UNITS of rates payable by any of them to WAYNE through
OAKLAND.
28. It is specifically recognized by all WAYNE LOCAL UNITS that any payments required to
be made by them pursuant to the terms of paragraph 24 and paragraph 25 of this Agreement may be pledged
for and used to pay the principal of and interest on bonds or other financing by WAYNE as provided
by this Agreement and authorized by law, and said WAYNE LOCAL UNITS covenant and agree that they
will make all required payments to WAYNE promptly and at the times specified herein without regard to
203
Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 26, 1984
whether the PROJECT is actually completed or placed in operation. In the event a LOCAL UNIT fails
to make its required payments of the cost of construction of the PROJECT, WAYNE may incorporate the
LOCAL UNIT'S allocated costs and any costs incurred because of such non-payment into the Rates
charged said LOCAL UNIT as a debt service charge. Each LOCAL UNIT hereby agrees to pay such charges
without reduction. OAKLAND agrees to enforce this condition as a part of its contract with its LOCAL
UNITS.
29. the Allocation of PROJECT Costs Based on Estimated Dollars attached hereto as Exhibit
"E" is based upon an estimate of construction, legal, administration, engineering and contingency
costs using 1985 projection of construction cost ,' as the inflation factor (herein BASE COSTS) and
said estimate does not include other elements of costs involved in issuing bonds (herein FINANCE
COSTS). The addition of the FINANCE COSTS, as applicable and when determined, will be affected by
cash payments, capitalized interest and other elections and options available to each LOCAL UNIT,
as finally chosen by it. FINAL ESTIMATED COSTS of the PROJECT, as actually determined by con-
struction contract bids, are the amounts each LOCAL UNIT has obligated itself by this Agreement to
pay in accordance with the allocated percentage set forth on Exhibit "D". The actual method of
financing by both WAYNE and OAKLAND, and the LOCAL UNITS, will be hereafter determined as permitted
by law and as set forth in contracts or agreements supplementary hereto, which contracts or agreement
each LOCAL UNIT and WAYNE and OAKLAND hereby irrevocably agree hereafter to execute, deliver and
carry out, when necessary, to evidence the obligation of each LOCAL UNIT and OAKLAND to pay its share
of FINAL ESTIMATED COSTS, and when applicable, of FINANCE COSTS.
30. If the actual cost of any portion of the PROJECT shall exceed the FINAL ESTIMATED COSTS
based on construction contract changes, whether as the result of variations or changes made in the
approved plans or otherwise, then (without execution of any further agreement or amendment of this
Agreement) additional WAYNE financing of the same security (upon the adoption of an authorizing reso-
lution therefor by the Wayne County Commission) shall be created 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
increase or additional WAYNE financing shall be authorized to be created, nor shall WAYNE enter into
any further construction contract changes for acquisition or construction of the 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 any LOCAL UNIT'S cost of any portion of the PROJECT to exceed by more than 10% the total
FINAL ESTIMATED COSTS 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 OAKLAND cash payments and or by increased or additional WAYNE financing, both in antici-
pation of increased or additional payments agreed to be made by the affected LOCAL UNIT to WAYNE or
OAKLAND in the manner herein provided: Provided, further, that the adoption of such OAKLAND and
LOCAL UNIT approving resolution shall not be required prior to or as a condition precedent to the
additional financing by WAYNE, if WAYNE has previously created or contracted to create financing to
pay all or part of the cost of the PROJECT or has let construction bids in accordance with plans for
the PROJECT as last approved, and the additional financing is necessary (as determined by WAYNE) to
pay such increased, additional or excess costs as are essential to completion of the PROJECT or any
part thereof according to the plans therefor as last approved. The parties obligated to participate
in such additional financing agree to an increase in the amount of the total payments required in
this Agreement such as will be sufficient to pay the additional financing.
31. Any surplus funds remaining in a PROJECT construction fund during the course of con-
struction 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, or any LOCAL UNITS which paid cash, shall be used by WAYNE in its sole dis-
cretion for any of the following purposes, to wit: (a) for additional improvements in the SYSTEM as
requested by a LOCAL UNIT and approved by WAYNE, or (b) credited toward the next debt service payments
due under any financing arrangement, or (c) purchase of financing instruments 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 Agreement shall be con-
ditioned on the successful completion of financing of Segment 1 of the PROJECT within three (3) years
from the effective date of this Agreement, otherwise this Agreement shall be considered void and of
no force and effect. The parties hereto agree that financing to finance Segment I of the PROJECT
shall not be created until a firm commitment has been received for a federal grant anticipated to pay
the eligible costs of Segment 1 of the PROJECT.
33. The parties hereto each recognize that the holders from time to time of financing in-
struments Issued by WAYNE and OAKLAND to finance costs of the PROJECT will have contractual rights
in this Agreement, and it is, therefore, convenanted and agreed by each of them that so long as any
of said financing instruments shall remain outstanding and unpaid, the provisons of this Agreement
shall not be subject to any alteration or revision which would in any manner materially affect either
the security thereof or the prompt payment thereof, principal or interest. The right to make changes
In this agreement, by amendment, supplemental contract, or otherwise, is nevertheless reserved insofar
as the same do not have such adverse effect and as provided in paragraphs 13 and 29 hereof. The
Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 26, 1984
parties hereto further covenant and agree that they will each comply with their respective duties
and obligations under the terms of this Agreement 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 duties or
obligations or any financing based thereon. It is hereby declared that the terms of this Agree-
ment, insofar as they pertain to the security of any financing, shall be deemed to be for the benefit
of the holders of and financing instruments.
34. No change in the jurisdiction over territory in any WAYNE LOCAL UNIT shall in any
manner impair the obligations of this Agreement. In the event all or any part of the territory of
a WAYNE LOCAL UNIT is incorporated as a new city or is annexed to or becomes a part of the terri-
tory of another WAYNE LOCAL UNIT or another public corporation, the WAYNE 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 WAYNE LOCAL UNIT from which such territory is taken and such a public corporation shall become
a WAYNE LOCAL UNIT in this Agreement, based upon a division determined by WAYNE which shall make
such determination after taking into consideration all factors necessary to make the diviion equit-
able, 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 WAYNE LOCAL UNIT from which the territory is taken, one designated by the governing body
of the new public corporation or the WAYNE LOCAL UNIT or public corporation annexing such territory,
and one independent registered engineer appointed by WAYNE. Each WAYNE LOCAL UNIT or public cor-
poration shall appoint its representative within fifteen (15) days after being notified to do so
by WAYNE and within a like time WAYNC shall appoint the engineer third member. If either WAYNE
LOCAL UNIT or 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 recom-
mendation 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 Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for a period of forty (40) years
from the date hereof, and may be extended by further agreement of all or some of the parties hereto.
In any event, the obligations of the WAYNE LOCAL UNITS to make payments required by any financing
pursuant to this Agreement shall be terminated at such time as all of the financing is pald in full,
together with any deficiency or penalty thereon, but obligations to pay for service pursuant to
this Agreement shall continue for the full term hereof or as extended.
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. The LOCAL units acknowledge that this PROJECT shall be financed, in part, by Federal
grants. All conditions of the Federal grants awards shall be incorporated as requirements of this
Agreement, including completion of applicable Sewer System Evaluation Surveys. If any related
sewer rehabilitation work is required of any affected LOCAL UNIT as a condition of a Federal grant,
it shall be completed in accordance with a Michigan Department of Natural Resources approved schedule.
38. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective parties
hereto, their successors and assigns.
39. This Agreement shall become effective upon approval by the legislative body of WAYNE,
OAKLAND and each WAYNE LOCAL UNIT and when duly executed by the appropriate officer or officers of
each WAYNE LOCAL UNIT, WAYNE and OAKLAND which approval and execution by OAKLAND will be authorized
also by the legislative body of each OAKLAND LOCAL UNIT in compliance with the provisions of Act 342,
Public Acts of Michigan, 1939, as amended, including the giving of notice and expiration of the 45
day referendum period as required by Section 5b thereof. The Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts. It is the understanding of all parties hereto that all exhibits hereto may be
changed to the extent necessary, and as changed attached hereto to carry out the provisions hereof.

Control Facilities as shown on Exhibit "A" hereto attached, for which part contractual arrangements
for design, construction and financing are required only with the two cities among all of the munici-
palities named herein above as participants in and users of the Evergreen and Farmington Sewage Dis-
posal Systems (herein "Systems"); and
WHEREAS the County Agency has obtained preliminary plans for the County systems and also an
estimate of $37,779,000 as the total cost of the systems and an estimate of forty (40) years and up-

Inc. (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the consulting engineers) submitted herewith for approval
by the Board of Commissioners of the County and the city councils of the cities and will be placed
on file In the office of the County Agency, said estimates being set forth in Exhibit B hereunto
attached; and
WHEREAS in order to provide for the acquisition and construction of the systems by the
county and the financing of the cost thereof by the issuance of county bonds, and for other related
matters, it is necessary for the parties hereto to enter into this contract.
THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE PREMISES AND THE COVENANTS OF EACH OTHER, THE PARTIES
HERETO AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. The parties hereto do hereby approve and agree to the establishment, acquisition, con-
struction and financing of the Evergreen and Farmington Sewage Disposal Systems, as herein provided,
under and pursuant to Act 342. The cities by way of compliance with Section 29, Article VII,
Michigan Constitution of 1963, consent and agree to the establishment and location of the systems
within the corporate boundaries of each and to the use by the county of its streets, highways,
alleys, lands, rights-of-way or other public places for the purpose and facilities of the systems
and any improvements, enlargements or extensions thereof, and the cities further agree that, in
order to evidence and effectuate the foregoing agreement and consent, each will execute and deliver
to the county such grants of easement, right-of-way, license, permit or consent as may be requested
' by the county.
2. The Evergreen and Farmington Sewage Disposal Systems Pollution Control Facilities to be
acquired, constructed and financed hereunder shall consist of the facilities shown on Exhibit A which
Is hereunto attached and which is hereby made a part hereof, and as are more particulary set forth in
the preliminary 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 particular facilities
herein involved are to be acquired in two segments in two years as follows:
1984 Segment #1 Stage 1 and Stage 2
1985 Segment #2 Stage 3 and Stage 4 and Stage 7 South Part
These segments are herein sometimes referred to as the "Project". The Project shall be acquired and
constructed substantially in accordance with the said preliminary plans and in accordance with final
plans and specifications to be prepared and submitted by the consulting 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 total estimated cost of the 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 Councils of the Cities and if provisions required by Paragraph 8 here-
of are made for payment or financing of any resulting increase in the total estimated cost. The
estimate of cost of the Project and the estimate of period of usefulness thereof as set forth in
Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 26, 1984 208
Exhibit B are likewise hereby approved and adopted.
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 he so financed to defray that
part of the total cost to the county of the Project which is in excess of funds available from
Federal and/or State grants or other sources. Such bonds shall be issued in anticipation of,
and be payable primarily from, the payments to be made by the cities to the county as provided
in this contract, and shall be secured secondarily, if so voted by the Board of Commissioners of
the county, by the pledge of the full faith and credit of the county, and the said bonds shall be
payable in annual maturities the last of which shall be not more than forty (40) years from the
date thereof.
4. The County Agency shall proceed to take construction bids for the Project and, subject
to the sale and delivery of said bonds, enter into construction contracts with the lowest respon-
sible bidder or bidders, procure from the contractors all necessary and proper bonds, cause the
Project to be constructed within a reasonable time, and do all other things required by this con-
tract 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.
The county hereby agrees that it will secure, or cause to be secured, and maintained during
the period of construction adequate property damage and public liability insurance covering all
facilities to be constructed pursuant to this contract. All policies and memorandums of insurance
shall provide that the county and the cities shall be insured parties thereunder and shall contain
a provision requiring that the cities be notified at least ten days prior to cancellation thereof.
One copy of each policy and memorandum of insurance shall be filed with the cities.
5. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the systems facilities are to
serve the cities and not the individual property owners and users thereof, unless by special arrange-
ment between the County Agency and the cities. The responsibility of requiring connection to and
use of the facilities of the systems and or providing such additional facilities, as may be needed,
shall be that of the cities which shall cause to be constructed and maintained, directly or through
the county, any such necessary additional facilities. The county shall not be obligated hereunder
to acquire or construct any Facilities other than those designated in paragraph 2 hereof.
6. The cities shall pay to the county the total cost of the Project, less such funds as
may become available from Federal and/or State grants or from other sources, in local shares and
for population equivalent assignments and cubic feet per second capacity equivalent assignments
as described in paragraph 12 hereof and on Exhibit C hereunto attached. The total cost for this
purpose shall include, in addition to the items of the nature set forth in Exhibit B (represented
by the principal amount of the bonds to be issued by the county plus such funds as may become
available from Federal and/or State grants or other sources), all interest payable by the county on
said bonds and all paying agent 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 payment shall be made to the county in annual or
semi-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 annual principal maturity date thereof or semi-annual
interest date. Such installments shall be so paid in each year, if any principal and/or non-capital-
ized interest on said bonds falls due during the twelve-month period beginning on such principal
maturity date in said year, and the amount of each installment so due and payable shall be at least
sufficient to pay all such principal and/or 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 of the cities with a complete schedule of the princi-
pal and interest maturities thereon, and the County Agency shall also, at least thirty days before
each payment Is due to be made by the cities, advise the said Treasurer of the amount payable to the
county on such date. If either of the cities fails to make 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 cities from the obligation to make payment when due. Such
payments shall be made by the cities when due whether or not the system has then been completed or
placed in operation but neither of the cities is responsible for any payment due from the other. In
the event that additional county bonds shall be issued under the authority of this contract, to de-
fray a part of the cost of the Project, the foregoing obligations shall apply to such part of the
cost and to said additional bonds insofar as appropriate thereto, it being understood that at all
times the obligations of the cities to pay hereunder shall not be less than the amount of the
county bonds outstanding and unpaid plus interest thereon.
7. The cities may pay in advance any amount payable to the county pursuant to this con-
tract and in that event shall be credited therefor on future-due amounts as may be agreed by the
parties hereto. The cities may also pay in advance any one or more installments or any part thereof
(a) by surrendering to the county any of said county bonds of like principal amount with all future-
due coupons attached thereto, or {b) by paying to the county in cash the principal amount of any
county bonds which are subject to redemption prior to maturity, plus all interest thereon to the
first date upon which such bonds may be called for redemption, and plus all applicable call premiums
209
Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 26, 1984
and bond service charges, and in such event the County Agency shall call said bonds for redemption
at the earliest possible date. The installments or parts thereof so prepaid shall be deemed to be
the installments or parts thereof falling due in the same calendar year as the maturity dates of the
bonds surrendered or called for redemption and bonds and coupons so surrendered or redeemed shall be
cancelled.
B. In the event that it shall become necessary to increase the estimated cost of the Project
as hereinbefore stated, or if the actual cost of the system shall exceed the estimated cost, whether
as the result of variations or changes permitted to be made in the approved plans or otherwise, then
(without execution of any further contract or amendment of this contract) the Councils of the cities
may, by resolution adopted within fifteen days after the receipt of construction bids, direct that a
portion of the Project be deleted sufficient to reduce the total cost as hereinbefore stated by more
than 5% provided that such deletion shall not materially change or terminate the eligibility of the
Project for Federal and/or State grants, change the general scope, overall design, and purpose of the
Project, and in the absence of the adoption of such a resolution the cities shall pay or procure the
payment of the increase or excess in cash, or county bonds in an increased or additional amount
shall (upon adoption of an authorizing resolution therefor by the Board of Commissioners) be issued
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 county bonds shall be authorized to be issued, nor shall the county enter
into any contract for acquisition or construction of the 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 Project to exceed by more than 5% its total estimated cost as hereinbefore stated, unless
the councils of the cities shall have previously 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 paid or its payment procured by the cities in cash or be defrayed by the issuance of increased or
additional county bonds in anticipation of increased or additional payments agreed to be made by the
Cities or either of them to the county in the manner hereinbefore provided: Provided, further, that
the adoption of such resolution by the councils of the cities shall not be required prior to or as
a condition precedent 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 Project and the issuance of
the additional bonds is necessary (as determined by the county) to pay such increased, additional or
excess costs as are essential to completion of the Project according to the plans as last approved
prior to the time when the previous bonds were issued or contracted to be sold.
9. In the event that the actual cost of the Project is less than the total estimated cost,
then any surplus available to the county from the sale of county bonds shall, at the option of the
councils of the cities, be used either to improve, enlarge or extend the systems or to apply upon
future payments due to the county, or to redeem bonds or to purchase the same on the open market,
provided that such surplus shall be used to improve, enlarge or extend the systems only if autho-
rized by the Board of Commissioners. Any such surplus may, for the purpose of improving, enlarging
or extending the systems, be supplemented by cash payments to be made by the cities, or such im-
provements, enlargements or extensions may be financed entirely from such cash payments, where
authorized by the councils of the cities. Where any such surplus is used to redeem or purchase bonds,
the same shall be cancelled, and the payments therefter required to be made by the cities to the
county shall be reduced so as to reflect the resulting saving of interest and the payment required
to be made in the calendar year of the stated maturity of said bonds shall be reduced by the prin-
cipal amount thereof.
10. Should either of the cities fail for any reason to pay the county at the times speci-
fied, the amounts herein required to be paid, each of the cities does hereby authorize the State
Treasurer or other official charged with the disbursement of unrestricted state funds returnable to
the cities pursuant to the Michigan constitution to withhold sufficient funds to make up any default
or deficiency in funds. If the full faith and credit of the county is pledged for the prompt payment
of the principal of and interest on the bonds to be issued by the county and if the county is re-
quired to advance any money by reason of such pledge on account of the delinquency of either of the
cities, the County Treasurer is hereby authorized to notify the State Treasurer to deduct the amount
of money so advanced by the county from any unrestricted moneys in the State Treasurer's possession
belonging to such of the cities and to pay such amount to the county.
The foregoing shall not operate to limit the county's right to pursue any other legal
remedies for the reimbursement of moneys advanced on account or the default of either of the cities.
11. The cities, pursuant to the authorization of Section 5a of Act No. 342, do each 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, within applicable tax limitations in an amount which,
taking into consideration estimated delinquencies in tax collections, will be sufficient to pay its
obligations under this contract as a first budget obligation becoming due before the time of the
following year's tax collections: Provided, however, that if at the time of making its annual tax
levy, the cities or either of them shall have on hand cash or other funds which have been set aside
and pledged or are otherwiSe available for the payment of such contractual obligations falling due
prior to the time of the next tax collection, then the annual tax levy may be reduced by such amount.
The council of each of the cities shall each year, at least 90 days prior to the final date provided
by law for the making of the annual tax levy, submit to the County Agency a written statement setting
Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 26, 1984 210
forth the annunt 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 each
of the cities has or will have on hand or to its credit in the hands of the county which have been
set aside and pledged for payment of said obligations to the county, and the amount of the cities
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 he finds that the proposed tax levy is
insufficient, he shall so notify the councils of the cities and each of the cities hereby covenants
and agrees that it will thereupon increase its levy to such extent as may be required by the County
Agency.
12. As shown on Exhibits A and C, the Pollution Control Facilities to be acquired by com-
pletion of the Project are to supplement, improve, extend and enlarge the systems as parts of the
Evergreen System and the Farmington System and will serve additional population and provide addi-
tional capacity in each or the cities in the proportions shown on Exhibit C. The provisions of the
Evergreen Agreement and of the Farmington Agreement, to the extent not specifically amended or elim-
inated hereby, shall apply to the total systems when completed and placed in operation and shall
continue in full effect including any rights now or hereafter existing by contract on behalf of the
systems by the county with the City of Detroit and/or the County of Wayne relative to treatment or
transportation of sanitary wastewater and other pollution control activities.
As indicated on Exhibit A, there are other Pollution Control Facilities proposed by the
Step 1 Facilities Planning (herein "future Facilities") as well as the facilities described in para-
graph 2 hereof as Segment #1 and Segment 1/2 (herein "current facilities"). Even though the cities
are the only units of local government now contracting with the county, it is understood that by
reason of the Evergreen Agreement and the Farmington Agreement and because of the Step I Facilities
Planning*, all of the units of local government named hereinabove as parties to those Agreements or
as users or potential users of the systems are entitled and may be obligated to participate in
sharing the cost of and in using the Proposed Pollution Control Facilities or any part or parts
thereof (including this Project). Such participation shall be administered by the county in dividing
and assigning shares of population to be served, capacity to be available and costs to be shared and
the decisions of the county in this regard shall be final, but only to the extent the costs and the
future facilities or current facilities result in an increase of systems capacity available to a
unit of local government or in an enlargement of the Districts therein or the acquisition of facili-
ties in any unit of local government or for the systems elsewhere is made necessary by conditions
which exist in the unit of local government, with or without an increase of such capacity or such
enlargement.
13. This contract is contingent upon the county issuing its negotiable bonds as herein
provided, to defray such part of the total estimated cost of the system as is necessary to be fi-
nanced, which bonds shall be issued under the authorization provided in Section 5a, 5b and 5c of
said Act 342. Interest on the bonds shall be capitalized and paid from the bond proceeds for a
period not exceeding the estimated construction period and one year thereafter. In the event that
the bonds are not issued within three years from the date of this contract, then unless extended by
mutual agreement it shall become null and void, except that the cities shall pay a share of all
engineering, legal and other costs and expenses theretofore incurred as part of Step I Facilities
Planning and hereunder and shall be entitled to all plans, specifications and other engineering
data and materials, as provided in resolutions heretofore adopted by the cities and other units
of local government pertaining thereto.
14. Upon completion of the Project the county and the cities hereby agree that the oper-
ation and maintenance of all of the facilities of the systems shall be carried on and continued in
the same fashion and manner as integral parts of the systems as are now in existence and in effect
pursuant to the Evergreen Agreement and the Farmington Agreement, with costs thereof billed, col-
lected and paid as at present.
If a grant, advance or payment becomes available from the State or Federal governments or
any other source, the cities hereby agree to adopt such resolutions or ordinances as may be required
by State or Federal laws, regulations or orders to make the County of Oakland and the systems and
Districts eligible to accept and receive the grant, advance or payment, and if the terms of the
grant, advance or payment require a local contribution, the cities hereby agree to raise and con-
tribute its share thereof as herein provided.
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 grantswith respect to Segment Ill and Segment #2 in the amounts as noted on Exhibit B. The
applicant, Oakland County, in accordance with the requirements of said 1;35.2108, agrees to coins
plete the Project regardless of whether or not grant funding is available for both Segments, in
accordance with the requirements of said 05.2108, except that the Project shall not be commenced
unless a grant of at least 75Z of Lhe eligible cost of Segment ffl is received.
15. The county shall have no obligation or responsibility for providing facilities ex-
cept as herein expressly provided with respect to the acquisition of the Project of as otherwise
provided by contract. The cities shall have the authority and the responsibility to provide such
other facilities and shalt have the right to expand the facilities of the systems by constructing
or extending sewers or related facilities, connecting the same to the systems, and otherwise im-
proving the systems. It is expressly agreed, nevertheless, that no such connection shall be made
CITY OF FARMINGTON HILLS • COUNTY OF OAKLAND
211
Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 26, 1984
to the systems and no improvements, enlargements or extensions thereof shall be made without first
securing a permit therefor from the County Agency. Any such permit may be made conditional upon
Inspection and approval of new construction by the County Agency. It is further agreed that the
systems shall be used for collection and conveyance of sanitary sewage only and that the cities
shall take all necessary action to prevent entry into the systems of storm waters (except as
permitted in the Evergreen Agreement or the Farmington Agreement) and also to prevent entry of sewage
or wastes of such a character as to be injurious to the system or to the public health and safety.
16. All powers, duties and functions vested by tnis contract in the county shall be exercised
and performed by the County Agency, for and on behalf of the county, unless otherwise provided by law
or In this contract.
17. The parties hereto recognize that the holders from time to time of the bonds to be
Issued by the county under the provisions of Act 342, and secured by the full faith and credit pledge
of the cities to the making of the payments as set forth in this contract, will have contractual
rights in this contract, and it is therefore covenanted and agreed 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 or revision which would in any manner adversely 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, supplenental contract or otherwise, is nevertheless reserved insofar as the same do
not have such adverse effect. 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 contract of said bonds, the security therefor, or the prompt payment of
principal and Interest thereon. It is hereby declared that the terms of this contract and of any
amendatory or supplemental contract and any contract entered into pursuant hereto, insofar as they
pertain to said bonds or to the payment of the security thereof, shall be deemed to be for the
benefit of the holders of said bonds.
18. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this 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 this contract shall be con-
strued as if such Invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision has never been contained herein.
19. This contract shall become effective upon 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 City
Clerk of either of the cities in accordance with the provisions of said Section 56 of Act 342, then
this contract shall not become effective as to that one of the cities until approved by the vote of
a majority of the electors of that one of the cities qualified to vote and voting thereon at a
general or special election. This contract shall terminate forty (40) years from the date hereof
or on such earlier date as shall be mutually agreed: Provided, however, that it shall not be termi-
ated at any time prior to the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the county bonds
together with all bond service charges pertaining to said bonds. This contract may be executed in
several counterparts. The provisions of this contract shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this contract to be executed and de-
livered by the undersigned, being duly authorized by the respective governing bodies of such parties,

THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY AGREED BY AND BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO as follows:
1. The preliminary plans and specificiations for the project as prepared by the consulting
engineers, are hereby approved and adopted, and the estimate of cost thereot is approved and adopted
in the amount as set forth on Exhibit B hereto attached. The said project shall consist of local
relief sewers, new pump stations and force main and improvements to existing pump stations all
located approximately as set forth and generally shown on Exhibit A hereto attached. The said plans
and specifications and estimate of cost shall be submitted to the county Board of Commissioners, to-
gether with an order or resolution approved by the County Agency, providing for the issuance of bonds
by the county as hereinafter provided, in an aggregate principal sum not exceeding the amount of the
capital cost as hereinafter defined. If such bond order or resolution shall be adopted by said
Board of Commissioners, then the County Agency shall proceed to secure bids for the construction of
the project, to secure bids for the purchase of the bonds, to award construction contracts and to
issue the bonds, and shall cause the project to be constructed within a reasonable time thereafter.
2. The said project is designed for, and shall be used for, the collection and transpor-
tation of sanitary sewage only. Said project may be divided into sections by the County Agency for
the purpose of construction and the letting of construction contracts.
The project shall be acquired and constructed substantially in accordance with the said
preliminary plans and in accordance with final plans and specifications to be prepared and submitted
by the consulting 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 total esti-
mated cost of the 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 resolutions of the Council of the
village and if provisions required by Paragraph 6 hereof are made for payment or financing of any
resulting increase in the total estimated cost.
The County hereby agrees that it will secure, or cause to be secured, and maintained during
the period of construction adequate property damage and public liability insurance covering all
facilities to be constructed phrsuant to this agreement. All policies and memorandums of Insurance
shall provide that the county and the village shall be insured parties thereunder and shall contain
a provision requiring that the village be notified at least ten days prior to cancellation thereof.
One copy of each policy and memorandum of insurance shall be filed with the village.
3. The pollutions contrcl facilities of said project being an extension of the Evergreen
and Farmington Sewage Disposal Systems and being a part of the ultimate county system to nerve the
Evergreen and Farmington Sewage Disposal Districts, as enlarged, the provisions of paragraphs 3
thru 5 and 11 thru 18 of the Base Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding
this Agreement. The said project is designed so that the facilities thereof will serve the areas in
the Village of Beverly Hills, now included in said Evergreen and Farmington Sewage Disposal Districts,
as enlarged. Properties within said village to be served by said facilitieE shall be connected
thereto only upon such terms and conditions as are prescribed by the village and as may be appro-
priate, in addition to the terms and conditions prescribed in the Base Agreement. No areas not in
said village shall be served by or connected to said facilities except by agreement of the parties
hereto in writing. The county or the village shall not permit the discharge •into said facilities
of any sewage in violation of the Base Agreement.
4. Said village shall pay to the county, to cover the capital cost of the project, a sum
equal to 100% of the capital cost thereof less such part thereof as may be paid by Federal and/or
State grants.
The term "capital cost" as above used, shall include all items of cost set forth in Ex-
hibit B attached hereto and any changes thereto and any other or additional items of cost, of a
similar type or nature, as may be set forth in any revision of Exhibit B agreed to by the parties
hereto, incurred by the county in acquiring and constructing the project.
If a grant, advance or payment becomes available from the State or Federal governments or
any other source, the village hereby agrees to adopt such resolutions or ordinances as may be re-
qui-ed by State or Federal laws, regulations or orders to make the County of Oakland and the systems
and Districts eligible to accept lnd receive the grant, advance or payment, and if the terms of the
arant, advance or payment require a local contribution, the village hereby agrees to raise and
215
Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 26, 1984
contribute its share thereof as herein provided.
It is anticipated between the parties hereto that the project to be built shall qualify
for a segmeeted Federal grant in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 40 05.2108.
For purposes of financing the Project, it is anticipated that the project shall be eligible for
Federal grants with respect to Stage 5, Segment 2 in the amounts as noted on Exhibit B. The appli-
cant, Oakland County, in accordance with the requirements of said 635.2108, agrees to complete the
project regardless of whether or not grant funding is available for the project, in accordance with
the requirements of said 635.2108, except that the proiect shall not be commenced unless a grant of
at least 75% of the eligible cost of Segment 1/1 of the Pollution Control Facilities described in
the Step 1 Facilities Plan is received.
5. The village shall pay to the county the total cost of the Project, less such funds as
may become available from Federal and/or State grants or from other sources. The total cost for
this purpose shall include, in addition to the items of the nature set forth in Exhibit B (repre-
sented by the principal amount of the bonds to be issued by the county plus such funds as may become
available from Federal and/or State grants or other sources), all interest payable by the county on
said bonds and all paying agent fees and other expenses and charges (including the County Agency's
administrative expenses) which are payable on account of said bonds (tich fees, expenses and charges
being herein called "bond service charges"). Such payment shall be made to the county in annual or
semi-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 annual principal maturity date thereof or semi-annual
interest date. Such Installments shall be so paid in each year, if any principal and/or nen-capital-
ized interest on said bonds falls due during the twelve-month period beginning on such orincipal
maturity date in said year, and the amount of each installment so due and payable shall be at least
sufficient to pay all such principal and/or interest thus falling due and all bond service charges
thtn due and payable. The County Agency shc,11, within thirty days after delivery of the ccunty bonds
to the purchaser, furnish the Treasurer of the village with a complete schedule of the principal and
interest maturities thereon, and the County Agency shall also, at least thirty days before each pay-
ment is due to be made by the village, advise the said Treasurer of the amount payable to the county
on such date. If the village fails to make any payment to the county when due, the same shall be
subject to a penalty of I% 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 village from the obligation to make payment when due. Such payments shall be
made by the village when due whether or not the system has then been completed or placed in operation.
In the event that additional county bonds shall be issued under the authority of this contract, to
defray a part of the cost of the Project, the foregoing obligations shalt apply to such part of the
cost and to said additional bonds insofar as appropriate therato, it being understood that at all
times the obligation of the village to pay hereunder shall not be less than the amount of the county
bonds outstanding and unpaid plus interest thereon.
6. The village may pay in advance any amount payable to the county pursuant to this con-
tract and in that event shall be credited therefor on future-due amounts as may be agreed by the
parties hereto. The village may also pay in advance any one or more installments or any part thereof
(a) by surrendering to the county any of said county bonds of like principal amount with all future-
due coupons attached thereto, or (b) by paying to the county in cash the principal amount of any
county bonds which are subject to redemption prior to maturity, plus all interest thereon to the first
date upon which such bonds may be called for redemption, and plus all applicable call premiums and
bond service charges, and in such event the County Agency shall call said bonds for redemption at
the earliest possible date. The installments or parts thereof so prepaid shall be deemed to be the
Installments or parts thereof falling due in the same calendar year as the maturity dates of the
bonds surrendered or called for redemption and bonds and coupons so surrendered or redeemed shall
be cancelled.
7. In the event that it shall become necessary to increase the estimated cost of the Project
as hereinbefore stated, or if the actual cost of the sy..;tem shall exceed the estimated cost, whether
as the result of variations or changes permitted to be made in the approved plans or otherwise, then
(without execution of any further contract or amendment of this contract) the council of the village
may, by resolution adopted within fifteen days after the receipt of construction bids, direct that a
portion of the Project be deleted sufficient to reduce the total cost as hereinbefore stated by more
than 5%, provided that such deletion shall not materially change or terminate the eligibility of the
Project for Federal and/or State grants, change the general scope, overall design, and purpose of the
Project, and in the absence of the adoption of such a resolution the village shall pay or procure the
payment of the Increase or excess in cash, or county bonds in an increased or additional amount shall
(upon adoption of an authorizing resolution therefor by the Board of Commissioners) be issued to de-
fray 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 county bonds shall be authorized to be issued, nor shall the county enter into any
contract for acquisition or construction of the 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 Project to exceed by more than 5% its total estimated cost as hereinbefore stated, unless the
council of the village shall have previously 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 paid

or its payment procured by the village in cash or be defrayed by the issuance of increased or
additional county bonds in anticipation of increased or additional payments agreed to be made
by this village to the county in the manner hereinbefore provided: Provided, further, that the
adoption of such resolution by the council of the village shall not be required prior to or as
a condition precedent to the issuance of additional bonds by the county, if the county has pre-
viously issued or contracted to sell bonds to pay all or part of the cost of the Project and
the issuance of the additional bonds is necessary (as determined by the county) to pay such in-
creased, additional or excess costs as are essential to completion of the Project according to the
plans as last approved prior to the time when the previous bonds were issued or contracted to be
sold.
8. The installment payments mentioned in peragraeh 5 above shall be computed upon the
estimated cost until the actual cost has been determined, If the actual cost shall be less than
the estimated cost, then any surplus from the sale of the bonds therefor shall be used tc purchase
such bonds cn'the open market, and in such event the aggregate installment from the village in the
year or in each of the years in which the bonds so purchased mature, shall be eedeced by the princi-
pal amount of such bonds and the village shall be credited. Any bonds so purchased shall be cancelled.
As an alternative, by agreement of the parties hereto, such surplus ma e be used for further eetenslens
In the village. The estimated cost above referred to shall be that set forth in Exhibit B hereto or
as revised prior to the issuance of bonds. If the actual cost shall be greater than the estimated
cost, then the additional amount shall be charged to the village and the several then remaining
installments for the village shall be increased accordingly.
9. The village does hereby pledge its full faith aid credit for the prompt payment of the
aforesaid obligations and shall eaeh year levy a tax within applicable tax limitations in an amount
which, taking into consideration estimated delinquencies in tax collections, will be sufficient for
the prompt payment of its obligations falling due under this agreement as a first budget obligation
before the time of the following year's tax collection, unless at the time of making such annual levy
there shall be cash on hand or other funds which are available or pledged or earmarked for the pay-
ment of the current obligations for which the tax levy is to be made, in which case the annual tax
levy may be reduced by that amount. Funds for wla:ch credit may be so taken, may be raised in the
manner provided in Section 5a of said Aet 342, Public Acts of 1939, as now existing cr hereafter
awarded.

within three years from the date of this aareement, then unless extended by mutual agreement it shall
become null and void, except that the village shall pay a shore of all engineerine, legal and other

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Medical Care Facility has a long recognized need for an upgraded computer
system; and
WHEREAS as early as 1975, Computer Services concluded that the 1968 vintage software
was failing to keep pace with the changing needs of the Medical Care Facility; and
WHEREAS subsequent studies over the years continued to highlight the shortcomings of the
existing billing system; and
WHEREAS in 1983 a thorough feasibility study by Computer Services concluded that the ex-
isting patient billing software was failing to provide a reasonable level of service to the patient
accounting department and recommended that a formal requirements analysis be undertaken by Computer
Services; and
WHEREAS in May 1984, such requirements analysis was completed including in-depth examination
of four options for system upgrading as follows:
*In-house development of a mainframe billing system;
Acquisition of an existing mainframed based billing system;
*Acquisition of mini or micro computing equipment with in-house software development;
*Acquisition of a "turnkey" billing package-both hardware and software; and
WHEREAS upon analysis, the recommendation was for the Medical Care Facility to acquire a
"turnkey" billing package - both hardware and software; and
WHEREAS the appropriate vendor checklist was jointly developed by the Medical Care Facility
and Computer Services and submitted to all known prospective vendors; and
WHEREAS it is now clear that a "turnkey" package meeting all specifications and requirements
is available for less than $60,000; and
WHEREAS such system meets all the requirements of the feasibility study, requirements
analysis and vendor checklist and is recommended by the Director, Computer Services Department; and
WHEREAS the Medical Care Facility has sufficient funds in its 1984 budget which are avail-
able as a result of internal efficiencies to fund the entire cost of the proposed system.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Medical Care Facility be authorized to proceed with
acquisition, utilizing the Purchasing Division, of a "turnkey" billing package - both hardware and
software, as recommended in the Oakland County Computer Services feasibility study.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that funding for obtaining such package be authorized at a maximum
of $60,000 and that such funding come from the currently authorized 1984 Medical Care Facility budget.

22. The Board of Commissioners may make supplemental appropriations by amending the original
general appropriations measure as provided by this resolution, provided that revenues in excess of
those anticipated in the original general appropriations measure become available due to:
(a) An unobligated surplus from prior years becoming available;
(b) Current year revenue exceeding original estimate in amounts great enough to 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.
23. Whenever it appears to the County Executive or the Board of Commissioners that actual
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 recommen-
dations which, if adopted, will prevent expenditures from exceeding available revenues for the current
fiscal year. Such recommendations shall include proposals for reducing appropriations, increasing
revenues, or both. After receiving the recommendations of the County Executive for bringing appro-
priations into balance with estimated revenues, the Board of Commissioners shall amend the general
appropriations measure to reduce appropriations or shall approve such measures necessary tc provide
revenues sufficient to equal appropriations, or both.
24. A member of the Board of Commissioners, the County Executive, any elected officer, the
Fiscal Officer, any other administrative officer or employee of Oakland County shall not create a
debt, incur a financial obligation on behalf of the County against an appropriation account in excess
of the amount authorized nor apply or divert money of the County for purposes inconsistent with
those specified in the general appropriations measure as approved and amended by the Board of
Commissioners.
25. Any violation of the general appropriations measure by the County Executive, the
Fiscal Officer, any administrative officer, employee or member of the Board of Commissioners detected
through application of generally accepted accounting procedures utilized by Oakland County or disclosed
in an audit of the financial records and accounts of the County shall be filed with the State Treasurer
and reported by the State Treasurer to the Attorney General. Pursuant to Public Act 621 of 1978, the
Uniform Budgeting Act, the Attorney General shall review the report and initiate appropriate action
against the person or persons in violation. For use and benefit of the County of Oakland, the Attorney
General or Prosecuting Attorney may institute a civil and/or criminal action in a court of competent
jurisdiction for the recovery of County funds disclosed by an examination to have been illegally ex-
pended or collected as a result of malfeasance, and for the recovery of public property disclosed to
have been converted or misappropriated.
26. The provisions of this act shall be applied to the General Fund and all Special Revenue
and Proprietary Funds of the County, including Enterprise Funds and Internal Service Funds.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing
resolution which embodies the 1985 General Appropriations Act as detailed in the following document.

IN RE: Friend of the Court - StrPORT1NG A UNIFIED EFFORT TO OBTAIN iAXIMu FEDERAL CdILD SUPPORT
FUNDING FOR OAKLAND COUNTY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County has benefitted financially over the years from several federal child
support programs, particularly the ADC incentive program; and
WHEREAS this program's incentive formula has changed several times from a high of 25% of
collections, which have been about $9 million in recent years, to the present 12% with all revenue
going to the county's general fund; and
WHEREAS the federal child support amendments of 1984 provide for yet another modification
of the formula effective October 1, 1985, which maintains a In incent:ve base and adds a cost/
benefit provision that measures the combined AFDC/Non-AFDC' administrative costs ratio to AFDC/Non-AFDC
collections; and
WHEREAS Oakland County has an unusually high cost/benefit ratio of 1 to IS compared to the
federal minimum standard of I to 1.4; and
WHEREAS under the new formula, cost/benefit is cetermined by the performance of an entire
state rather than on that of local jurisdiction so the successful collection effort of 3akland county
may be used to "carry" the state and reach the I to 2.8 ratio needed to obtain a maximum 20% of re-
imbursement.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners take o position
supporting a unified effort by the legislative, judicial and executive branches of Oakland County
government to obtain maximum federal revenue from child support programs in recognition of Oakland
County's superior past performance and future conmitment to maintain this excellent record.
SE IT FURT1iER RLSOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to Richard R. Wilccx,
Chairperson of the Board of Commissioners, Daniel T. Murphy, County Executive; and to Francis X.
