IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - AMENDMENT TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT
WITH LARSEN AND ASSOCIATES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS on June 1, 1995, the Board of Commissioners authorized entering
into a contract with Larsen and Associates, hereinafter called "Contractor", to
actively representing the interests of Oakland County, as determined by the Board
of Commissioners, before the legislature and the Governor on pending laws,
statutes, public acts, regulations, and executive and administrative orders; and
WHEREAS the County agreed that it would pay the Contractor the sum of $85
per billable hour during the term of the contract with an annual expenditure
limit of $30,000.00; and
WHEREAS based upon itemized invoices for first year of the Contract, it
appears that the current annual expenditure limit as specified in the contract
Commissioners Minutes Continued. August 29, 1996
305
will be insufficient to compensate the Contractor at a level commensurate with
expected billable hours incurred; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners and the Contractor are interested in
amending the professional services contract to establish a monthly retainer in
lieu of the current $85.00 per billable hour provision; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners and the Contractor have mutually
concurred that the monthly retainer be set at $4,000.00 for the remaining term of
the contract which shall entitle the Board of Commissioners to a claim on the
Contractor's services in case of need.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
authorizes that the services of Larsen and Associates be maintained under a
monthly retainer in the amount of $4,000.00 for the remaining term of the
contract, that Section D. of PP-070 be waived, and that the professional services
contract (POO247) be amended by deleting paragraph #1 on page two and replacing
it with the following:
1. Pay to the Contractor a monthly retainer in the amount of $4,000.00,
which shall entitle the Board of Commissioners to a claim on the
Contractor's services in case of need in accordance with the
provisions of the contract. This retainer shall be paid in monthly
installments, the first commencing upon receipt of the invoice for
services rendered for September, 1996, and continuing for the
remaining term of this Contract. On or before the 15th of each
month, the Contractor shall submit to the Contract Administrator, an
itemized listing of the work performed on the behalf of the County
for the preceding month. The County shall have no obligation to
make future payments until a proper itemized listing is submitted.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the following paragraph be included in the
contract as paragraph #4 on page three:
4. In the event that either party invokes the termination procedures as
outlined in paragraphs 2 and 3 above, the Contractor shall reimburse
the County an amount equal to the number of days in the month for
which no services are rendered by the Contractor on behalf of
Oakland County divided by the total number of days in that month.
The County shall have no obligation to make future payments in the
event that the contract is terminated by either party.
Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move the
adoption of the foregoing resolution.

Township to pay to the County amounts sufficient to pay the principal of and
interest on the bonds and to pay such paying agent fees and other expenses as may
be incurred on account of the bonds; and
WHEREAS on July 27, 1995, the County issued its Oakland County Sewage
Disposal System (White Lake Township) Bonds, Series 1995A in the aggregate
principal amount of $725,000 to defray part of the cost of the Project; and
WHEREAS it is in the best interest of the County of Oakland that a second

of a single bond in the denomination of $9,350,000 or such lower amount as shall
be approved by the Drain Commissioner, with an exhibit attached thereto which
identifies the annual maturities for the bonds, and the references herein to

Purchase Contract and the Supplemental Agreement (each as hereinafter defined).
3. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. The principal of and interest on
the bonds shall be payable in lawful money of the United States. So long as the

paying agent for the bonds.
6. EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY OF BONDS. The bonds shall be

the Board of Commissioners and the County Clerk and authenticated by the manual
signature of an authorized representative of the bond registrar and paying agent,
and the seal of the County (or a facsimile thereof) shall be impressed or

bond the date of its authentication.
7. EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF BONDS. Any bond, upon surrender thereof to
the bond registrar and paying agent with a written instrument of transfer
satisfactory to the bond registrar and paying agent duly executed by the
registered owner or his duly authorized attorney, at the option of the registered
owner thereof, may be exchanged for bonds of any other authorized denominations
of the same aggregate principal amount and maturity date and bearing the same
rate of interest as the surrendered bond.
Each bond shall be transferable only upon the books of the County, which
shall be kept for that purpose by the bond registrar and paying agent, upon

8. FORM OF BONDS. The bonds shall be in substantially the following
form:
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
STATE OF MICHIGAN
COUNTY OF OAKLAND
OAKLAND COUNTY SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM
(WHITE LAKE TOWNSHIP) BOND, SERIES 1996A
INTEREST RATE MATURITY DATE DATE OF ORIGINAL ISSUE
2.25% See Exhibit A
Registered Owner: Michigan Municipal Bond Authority
Principal Amount:
The County of Oakland, State of Michigan (the "County"), acknowledges
itself indebted to and for value received hereby promises to pay to the
Registered Owner identified above, or registered assigns, the Principal Amount
set forth above or so much thereof as shall have been advanced to the County
pursuant to a Purchase Contract between the County and the Michigan Municipal
Bond Authority (the "Authority") and a Supplemental Agreement by and among the
County, the Authority and the State of Michigan acting through the Department of
Natural Resources on the maturity dates and in the amounts set forth on Exhibit A
attached hereto unless redeemed prior thereto as hereinafter provided, the final
payment being made upon presentation and surrender of this bond at the office of
the Oakland County Treasurer in the City of Pontiac, Michigan, the bond registrar
and paying agent, or at such successor bond registrar and paying agent as may be
designated pursuant to the resolution identified below; and to pay to the
Registered Owner, as shown on the registration books at the close of business on
the 15th day of the calendar month preceding the month in which an interest
payment is due, by check or draft drawn upon and mailed by the bond registrar and
paying agent by first class mail postage prepaid to the Registered Owner at the
registered address, interest at the rate per annum specified above on such
Principal Amount, to the extent advanced to the County pursuant to the Purchase
Contract and the Supplemental Agreement until the County's obligation with
respect to the payment of such Principal Amount is discharged. Interest is
payable on the first days of ________ and __________ in each year, commencing on
__________, 199_. Principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the
United States of America.
In the event of a default in the payment of principal or interest hereon
when due, whether at maturity, by redemption or otherwise, the amount of such
default shall bear interest (the "additional interest") at a rate equal to the
rate of interest which is two percent above the Authority's cost of providing
funds (as determined by the Authority) to make payment on the bonds of the
Commissioners Minutes Continued. August 29, 1996
311
Authority issued to provide funds to purchase this bond but in no event in excess
of the maximum rate of interest permitted by law. The additional interest shall
continue to accrue until the Authority has been fully reimbursed for all costs
incurred by the Authority (as determined by the Authority) as a consequence of
the County's default. Such additional interest shall be payable on the interest
payment date following demand of the Authority. In the event that (for reasons
other than the default in the payment of any municipal obligation purchased by
the Authority) the investment of amounts in the reserve account established by
the Authority for the bonds of the Authority issued to provide funds to purchase
this bond fails to provide sufficient available funds (together with any other
funds which may be made available for such purpose) to pay the interest on
outstanding bonds of the Authority issued to fund such account, the County shall
and hereby agrees to pay on demand only the County's pro rata share (as
determined by the Authority) of such deficiency as additional interest on this
bond.
During the time funds are being drawn down by the County under this Bond,
the Authority periodically will provide the County a statement showing the amount
of principal that has been advanced and the date of each advance, which statement
shall constitute prima facie evidence of the reported information; provided that
no failure on the part of the Authority to provide such a statement or to reflect
a disbursement or the correct amount of a disbursement shall relieve the County
of its obligation to repay the outstanding principal amount actually advanced,
all accrued interest thereon, and any other amount payable with respect thereto
in accordance with the terms of this Bond.
This bond is one of a series of bonds aggregating the principal sum of
________________________________________ Dollars ($______________) issued by the
County under and pursuant to and in full conformity with the Constitution and
Statutes of Michigan (especially Act No. 342, Public Acts of 1939, as amended)
and a bond authorizing resolution adopted by the Board of Commissioners of the
County (the "Resolution") for the purpose of defraying part of the cost of
acquiring, constructing and financing the Oakland County Sewage Disposal System
(White Lake Township Extensions - Union Lake Road Improvements) (the "Project").
The bonds of this series are issued in anticipation of payments to be made by
the Charter Township of White Lake (the "Township") in the aggregate principal
amount of ______________________________ Dollars ($__________) pursuant to a
contract between the County and the Township dated as of August 1, 1992 (the
"Contract"). The full faith and credit of the Township have been pledged to the
prompt payment of the principal amount of the bonds of this series and the
interest thereon as the same become due. As additional security the full faith
and credit of the County have been pledged for the prompt payment of the
principal of and interest on the bonds of this series. Taxes levied by the
County and the Township to pay the principal of and interest on the bonds of this
series are subject to constitutional tax limitations.
This bond is transferable, as provided in the resolution, only upon the
books of the County kept for that purpose by the bond registrar and paying agent,
upon the surrender of this bond together with a written instrument of transfer
satisfactory to the bond registrar and paying agent duly executed by the
registered owner or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon the exchange
or transfer of this bond a new bond or bonds of any authorized denomination, in
the same aggregate principal amount and of the same interest rate and maturity,
shall be authenticated and delivered to the transferee in exchange therefor as
provided in the resolution, and upon payment of the charges, if any, therein
provided. Bonds so authenticated and delivered shall be in the denomination of
$5,000 or any integral multiple thereof not exceeding the aggregate principal
amount for each maturity.
The bond registrar and paying agent shall not be required to transfer or
exchange bonds or portions of bonds that have been selected for redemption.
This bond is subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the
County and with the prior written consent of the Authority, in such order as
shall be determined by the County, on any one or more interest payment dates.
This bond may be partially redeemed in the amount of $5,000 or any integral
multiple thereof. If less than the entire principal amount of the bond maturing
in any year is to be redeemed, the portion of the bond to be redeemed shall be
selected by lot. The redemption price shall be the par value of the bond or
Commissioners Minutes Continued. August 29, 1996
312
portion of the bond called to be redeemed plus interest to the date fixed for
redemption.
Not less than thirty days' notice of redemption shall be given to the
holder of the bond called to be redeemed by mail to the registered holder at the
registered address. That portion of the bond called for redemption shall not
bear interest after the date fixed for redemption, provided funds are on hand
with the bond registrar and paying agent to redeem the same.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this bond, so long as the Authority
is the owner of this bond, (a) this bond is payable as to principal, premium, if
any, and interest at the corporate trust office of NBD Bank, Detroit, Michigan,
or at such other place as shall be designated in writing to the County by the
Authority (the "Authority's Depository"); (b) the County agrees that it will
deposit with the Authority's Depository payments of the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on this bond in immediately available funds at least five
business days prior to the date on which any such payment is due whether by
maturity, redemption or otherwise; and (c) written notice of any redemption of
this bond shall be given by the County and received by the Authority's Depository
at least 40 days prior to the date on which redemption is to be made.
It is hereby certified, recited and declared that all acts, conditions and
things required to exist, happen and be performed precedent to and in the
issuance of the bonds of this series, existed, have happened and have been
performed in due time, form and manner as required by law, and that the total
indebtedness of said County, including the series of bonds of which this bond is
one, does not exceed any constitutional or statutory limitation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the County of Oakland, Michigan, by its Board of
Commissioners, has caused this bond to be executed in its name by facsimile
signatures of the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners and the County Clerk and
its corporate seal (or a facsimile thereof) to be impressed or imprinted hereon.
This bond shall not be valid unless the Certificate of Authentication has been
manually executed by an authorized representative of the bond registrar and
paying agent.

EXHIBIT A
The principal amounts and maturity dates applicable to the bond to which
this Exhibit A is attached are as follows:
[END OF BOND FORM]
9. SECURITY. The bonds shall be issued in anticipation of payments to be

primarily by the full faith and credit pledge made by the Township in the
Contract pursuant to the authorization contained in Act 342. As additional and

313
secondary security the full faith and credit of the Township are pledged for the

general fund of the County.
10. DEFEASANCE. In the event cash or direct obligations of the United
States or obligations the principal of and interest on which are guaranteed by
the United States, or a combination thereof, the principal of and interest on
which, without reinvestment, come due at times and in amounts sufficient to pay,
at maturity or irrevocable call for earlier optional redemption, the principal
of, premium if any, and interest on the bonds, shall have been deposited in
trust, this resolution shall be defeased and the owners of the bonds shall have
no further rights under this resolution except to receive payment of the
principal of, premium if any, and interest on the bonds from the cash or
securities deposited in trust and the interest and gains thereon and to transfer
and exchange bonds as provided herein.
11. PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST FUND; CAPITALIZED INTEREST. There shall be
established for the bonds a Principal and Interest Fund that shall be kept in a
separate bank account. From the proceeds of the sale of the bonds there shall be
set aside in the Principal and Interest Fund any premium and accrued interest
received from the purchaser of the bonds at the time of delivery of the same plus
an amount that is sufficient to provide payment of interest on the bonds through
April 1, 1998, which interest is hereby capitalized. All payments received from

that complies with applicable law and is satisfactory to the County Treasurer,
the County Treasurer may authorize the bond registrar and paying agent to deliver
a new executed bond to replace the bond lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully
taken in compliance with applicable law. In the event an outstanding matured
bond is lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken, the County Treasurer may

of a replacement bond. The bond registrar and paying agent, for each new bond
delivered or paid without presentation as provided above, shall require the

registrar and paying agent and the County in the premises. Any bond delivered
pursuant the provisions of this Section 13 in lieu of any bond lost, apparently
destroyed or wrongfully taken shall be of the same form and tenor and be secured
in the same manner as the bond in substitution for which such bond was delivered.
14. ESTIMATE OF PERIOD OF USEFULNESS AND COST. The estimated period of

the Drain Commissioner and the County Treasurer are each hereby severally
authorized to file with the Department of Treasury a Notice of Intent to Issue
an Obligation with respect to the bonds and to pay, upon the filing of said

Authority such certificates or documents as the Authority or bond counsel shall
require and to do all other things necessary to effectuate the sale, issuance,
