determined by the Treasurer to be allocated to a reserve fund. Original proceeds of the Notes devoted to
a reserve fund shall not exceed the lesser of (A) the amount reasonably required for those of the Notes
secured by the reserve fund, (B) 10% of the proceeds of such Notes, (C) the maximum amount of annual
debt service on such Notes, or (D) 125% of average annual debt service on such Notes.
(d) The aggregate amount of the Notes shall be designated by the Treasurer by written order
after (i) the amount of the Delinquent Taxes, or the amount of Delinquent Taxes to be funded by the
issuance of the Notes, has been estimated or determined, and (ii) the amount of the reasonably required
reserve fund has been calculated. Delinquent Taxes shall be estimated based on delinquencies
experienced during the past three fiscal years and on demographic and economic data relevant to the
current tax year, and shall be determined based on certification from each of the taxing units. The
amount of the reasonably required reserve fund shall be calculated pursuant to such analyses and
certificates as the Treasurer may request.
104. Proceeds. If the Notes are issued and sold before the Treasurer has received certification
from the taxing units of the amount of the Delinquent Taxes and if such certification is not reasonably

of each maturity the Treasurer shall consider the schedule of delinquent tax collections prepared for the
tax years ending December 31, 2001, and the corollary schedule setting forth the anticipated rate of
collection of those Delinquent Taxes which are pledged to the repayment of the Notes. The amount of
each maturity and the scheduled maturity dates of the Notes shall be established to take into account the

allow for no more than a 10% variance between the debt service payable on each maturity date. The
Notes, and the anticipated amount of pledged monies available on such maturity date to make payment

maturity falling not later than the fourth anniversary of the date of issue. Notes issued under this

falls, or (ii) if the Treasurer so orders, six months before such date. In the event (i) any maturity of the
Notes arises either less than six months before the succeeding maturity date or less than six months after
the preceding maturity date and (ii) the Treasurer so orders in writing, interest on the Notes shall be
payable on such succeeding or preceding maturity date. Subject to the following sentence, Notes issued
pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 203 shall, pursuant to written order of the Treasurer, bear interest

Notes shall be numbered from one upwards, regardless of maturity, in such order as the Registrar shall
determine.

and maturity in authorized denominations aggregating the same principal amount as the Note or Notes

instructions the Registrar or Paying Agent shall authenticate and deliver a new Note or Notes to the
owner thereof or to owner's attorney-in-fact.
(c) Any service charge made by the Registrar or Paying Agent for any such registration, transfer
or exchange shall be paid for by the County as an expense of borrowing, unless otherwise agreed by the
Treasurer and the Registrar or Paying Agent. The Registrar or Paying Agent may, however, require
payment by a noteholder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in
connection with any such registration, transfer or exchange.
208. Book Entry Depository Trust. At the option of the Treasurer, and notwithstanding any
contrary provision of Section 212, the Notes may be deposited, in whole or in part, with a depository
trustee designated by the Treasurer who shall transfer ownership of interests in the Notes by book entry

acknowledgments, shall be as determined by the Treasurer after consultation with the depository trustee.
The Treasurer is authorized to enter into any depository trust agreement on behalf of the County upon
such terms and conditions as the Treasurer shall deem appropriate and not otherwise prohibited by the
terms of this Resolution. The depository trustee may be the same as the Registrar otherwise named by
the Treasurer, and the Notes may be transferred in part by depository trust and in part by transfer of
physical certificates as the Treasurer may determine.
209. Redemption.
(a) Subject to the authority granted the Treasurer pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section (in
the case of fixed rate Notes) and to the authority granted the Treasurer pursuant to Section 404 (in the
case of variable rate Notes), the Notes or any maturity or maturities of the Notes shall be subject to
redemption prior to maturity on the terms set forth in subsection (b) below.
(b) Notes scheduled to mature after the first date on which any Notes of the series are scheduled
to mature shall be subject to redemption, in inverse order of maturity, on each interest payment date
arising after the date of issue.
(c) If the Treasurer shall determine such action necessary to enhance the marketability of the
Notes or to reduce the interest rate to be offered by perspective purchasers on any maturity of the Notes,
the Treasurer may, by written order prior to the issuance of such Notes, (i) designate some or all of the
Notes as non-callable, regardless of their maturity date, and/or (ii) delay the first date on which the
redemption of callable Notes would otherwise be authorized under subsection (b) above.
(d) Notes of any maturity subject to redemption may be redeemed before their scheduled
maturity date, in whole or in part, on any permitted redemption date or dates, subject to the written order
of the Treasurer. Notes called for redemption shall be redeemed at par, plus accrued interest to the
redemption date, plus, if the Treasurer so orders, a premium of not more than 1%. Redemption may be
made by lot or pro rata, as shall be determined by the Treasurer.
(e) With respect to partial redemptions, any portion of a Note outstanding in a denomination
larger than the minimum authorized denomination may be redeemed, provided such portion as well as
the amount not being redeemed constitute authorized denominations. In the event less than the entire
principal amount of a Note is called for redemption, the Registrar or Paying Agent shall, upon surrender of
the Note by the owner thereof, authenticate and deliver to the owner a new Note in the principal amount
of the principal portion not redeemed.
(f) Notice of redemption shall be by first class mail 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption,
or such shorter time prior to the date fixed for redemption as may be consented to by the holders of all
outstanding Notes to be called for redemption. Such notice shall fix the date of record with respect to the
redemption if different than otherwise provided in this Resolution. Any defect in any notice shall not affect
the validity of the redemption proceedings. Notes so called for redemption shall not bear interest after the
date fixed for redemption, provided funds are on hand with a paying agent to redeem the same.
210. Discount. At the option of the Treasurer, the Notes may be offered for sale at a discount not
to exceed 2%.

of the Notes after which sale the Treasurer shall either award the Notes to the lowest bidder or reject all
bids. The conditions of sale shall be as specified in a published Notice of Sale prepared by the Treasurer
announcing the principal terms of the Notes and the offering. Alternatively, the Treasurer may, at the
Treasurer's option, negotiate a private sale of the Notes as provided in Act 206. If required by law, or if
otherwise determined by the Treasurer to be in the best interest of the County, (a) the Notes shall be
rated by a national rating agency selected by the Treasurer, (b) a good faith deposit shall be required of
the winning bidder, and/or (c) CUSIP numbers shall be assigned to the Notes. If a public sale is
conducted or if otherwise required by law or the purchaser of the Notes, the Treasurer shall prepare or

material terms of the offer and sale of the Notes. Pursuant to any sale of the Notes, the County shall
make such filings, shall solicit such information and shall obtain such governmental approvals as shall be
required pursuant to any state or federal law respecting back-up income tax withholding, securities
regulation, original issue discount or other regulated matter.

denominations, as determined by the Treasurer. The Notes shall be numbered from one upwards in such
order as the Treasurer determines.
306. Redemption. The Notes shall not be subject to redemption prior to maturity.
307. Sale of Notes. The authority and obligations of the Treasurer set forth in Sections 210 and
211 respecting Fixed Maturity Notes shall apply also to Notes issued under Article III.
308. Execution and Delivery. The authority and obligations of the Treasurer set forth in Section
212 respecting Fixed Maturity Notes shall also apply to Notes issued under Article III.
309. Renewal or Refunding Notes.
(a) The Treasurer may by written order authorize the issuance of renewal or refunding Notes
(collectively the "Renewal Notes"). Renewal Notes shall be sold on the maturity date of, and the
proceeds of the Renewal Notes shall be applied to the payment of debt service on, Notes to be renewed.
The maturities and repayment terms of the Renewal Notes shall be set by written order of the Treasurer.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 14, 2002
78
(b) In the order authorizing Renewal Notes, the Treasurer shall specify whether the Notes shall
be issued in accordance with this Article III, in which event the provisions of Article III shall govern the
issuance of the Notes, or whether the Notes shall be issued in accordance with Article II, in which event
the provisions of Article II shall govern the issuance of the Notes. The order shall also provide for and
shall also govern with respect to:
(i) the aggregate amount of the Renewal Notes;
(ii) the date of the Renewal Notes;
(iii) the denominations of the Renewal Notes;
(iv) the interest payment dates of the Renewal Notes;
(v) the maturity or maturities of the Renewal Notes;
(vi) the terms of sale of the Renewal Notes;
(vii) whether any Renewal Notes issued in accordance with Article II shall be subject to
redemption and, if so, the terms thereof; and
(viii) any other terms of the Renewal Notes consistent with, but not specified in, Article II or
Article III.
(c) Regardless of whether Renewal Notes need be approved by prior order of the Department of
Treasury, the Treasurer, pursuant to Section 89(5)(d) of Act 206, shall promptly report to the Department
of Treasury the issuance of any Renewal Notes.
IV. VARIABLE INTEREST RATE
401. Variable Rate Option. At the option of the Treasurer, exercisable by written order, the
Notes, whether issued pursuant to Article II or Article III, may be issued with a variable interest rate,
provided that the rate shall not exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted by law.
402. Determination of Rate. The order of the Treasurer shall provide how often the variable
interest rate shall be subject to recalculation, the formula or procedure for determining the variable
interest rate, whether and on what terms the rate shall be determined by a remarketing agent in the case
of demand obligations consistent with Section 801(d), and whether and on what terms a fixed rate of
interest may be converted to or from a variable rate of interest. Such formula or procedure shall be as
determined by the Treasurer, but shall track or float within a specified percentage band around the rates
generated by any one or more of the following indices:
(i) Publicly reported prices or yields of obligations of the United States of America;
(ii) An index of municipal obligations periodically reported by a nationally recognized source;
(iii) The prime lending rate from time to time set by any bank or trust company in the United
States with unimpaired capital and surplus exceeding $40,000,000;
(iv) Any other rate or index that may be designated by order of the Treasurer provided such
rate or index is set or reported by a source which is independent of and not controlled by
the Treasurer or the County.
The procedure for determining the variable rate may involve one or more of the above indices as
alternatives or may involve the setting of the rate by a municipal bond specialist provided such rate shall
be within a stated percentage range of one or more of the indices set forth above.
403. Date of Record. The Date of Record shall be not fewer than one nor more than 31 days
before the date of payment, as designated by written order of the Treasurer.
404. Redemption. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of subsections (b) and (c) of Section
209, but subject to the last sentence of this Section 404, Notes bearing interest at a variable rate may be
subject to redemption by the County and/or put by the holder at any time or times and in any order, as
may be determined pursuant to written order of the Treasurer. Notes shall not be subject to redemption
more frequently than monthly.
405. Remarketing, Repurchase and Resale.
(a) In the event Notes issued under this Article IV are constituted as demand obligations, the
interest rate on the Notes shall be governed by, and shall be subject to, remarketing by a remarketing
agent appointed in accordance with Section 801(c), under the terms of a put agreement employed in
accordance with Section 801(d).
(b) The County shall be authorized, consistent with Act 206 and pursuant to order of the
Treasurer, to participate in the repurchase and resale of Notes in order to reduce the cost of, or increase
the revenue, attendant to the establishment of the Revolving Fund and the issuance and discharge of the
Notes. Any purchase of Notes pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be made with unpledged monies
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 14, 2002
79
drawn from revolving funds established by the County in connection with retired general obligation limited
tax notes.
V. MULTIPLE SERIES
501. Issuance of Multiple Series. At the option of the Treasurer, exercisable by written order, the
Notes issued under Article II, Article III or Article X may be issued in two or more individually designated
series. Each series shall bear its own rate of interest, which may be fixed or variable in accordance with
Article IV. Various series need not be issued at the same time and may be issued from time to time in the
discretion of the Treasurer exercisable by written order. In determining the dates of issuance of the
respective series, the Treasurer shall consider, among other pertinent factors, the impact the dates
selected may have on the marketability, rating and/or qualification for credit support or liquidity support
for, or insurance of, the Notes. The Notes of each such series shall be issued according to this
Resolution in all respects (and the term "Notes" shall be deemed to include each series of Notes
throughout this Resolution), provided that:
(a) The aggregate principal amount of the Notes of all series shall not exceed the maximum
aggregate amount permitted under Section 103;
(b) Each series shall be issued pursuant to Article II or Article III, and different series may be
issued pursuant to different Articles;
(c) Each series shall be issued pursuant to Section 502 or Section 503, and different series may
be issued pursuant to different Sections;
(d) A series may be issued under Article II for one, two, or three of the annual maturities set forth
in Article II with the balance of the annual maturities being issued under Article II or under Article III in one
or more other series, provided that the minimum annual maturities set forth in Section 203 shall be
reduced and applied pro rata to all Notes so issued; and
(e) The Notes of all series issued pursuant to Article II above shall not, in aggregate, mature in
amounts or on dates exceeding the maximum authorized maturities set forth in Section 203.
502. Series Secured Pari Passu. If the Notes are issued in multiple series pursuant to this Article
V, each series of Notes may, by written order of the Treasurer, be secured pari passu with the other by
the security described in and the amounts pledged by Article VII below. Moreover, such security may,
pursuant to further order of the Treasurer, be segregated in accordance with the following provisions.
(a) The Treasurer may by written order establish separate sub-accounts in the County's 2002
Note Reserve Account for each series of Notes, into which shall be deposited the amount borrowed for
the Note Reserve Account for each such series.
(b) The Treasurer may by written order establish separate sub-accounts in the County's 2002
Note Payment Account for each series of Notes, and all amounts deposited in the Note Payment Account
shall be allocated to the sub-accounts.
(c)(i) In the event separate sub-accounts are established pursuant to subsection (b) above, and
subject to Paragraph (ii) below, the percentage of deposits to the County's 2002 Note Payment Account
allocated to each sub-account may be set equal to the percentage that Notes issued in the corresponding
series bears to all Notes issued under this Resolution or to any other percentage designated by the
Treasurer pursuant to written order; provided that if the various series are issued at different times or if
the various series are structured with different maturity dates, (I) sums deposited in the Note Payment
Account prior to the issuance of one or more series may upon the issuance of each such series be
reallocated among the various sub-accounts established under Subsection (b) above to achieve a
balance among the sub-accounts proportionate to the designated percentage allocation, and/or (II)
deposits to the Note Payment Account may be allocated among the sub-accounts according to the total
amount of debt service that will actually be paid from the respective sub-accounts.
(ii) Alternatively, the Treasurer may, by written order, rank the sub-accounts established
under Subsection (b) above in order of priority, and specify that each such sub-account shall receive
deposits only after all sub-accounts having a higher priority have received deposits sufficient to discharge
all (or any specified percentage of) Notes whose series corresponds to any of the sub-accounts having
priority.
(d) In the absence of a written order of the Treasurer to the contrary, the amounts in each sub-
account established pursuant to this Section 502 shall secure only the Notes issued in the series for
which such sub-account was established, until such Notes and interest on such Notes are paid in full,
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 14, 2002
80
after which the amounts in such sub-account may, pursuant to written order of the Treasurer, be added
pro rata to the amounts in the other sub-accounts and thereafter used as part of such other sub-accounts
to secure all Notes and interest on such Notes for which such other sub-accounts were created, until paid
in full. Alternatively, amounts held in two or more sub-accounts within either the Note Reserve Account or
the Note Payment Account may be commingled, and if commingled shall be held pari passu for the
benefit of the holders of each series of Notes pertaining to the relevant sub-accounts.
503. Series Independently Secured. If the Notes are issued in multiple series pursuant to this
Article V, each series of Notes may, by written order of the Treasurer, be independently secured in
accordance with this Section 503.
(a) Each series of Notes shall pertain to one or more taxing units, as designated by the Treasurer
pursuant to written order, and no two series of Notes shall pertain to the same taxing unit. A school
district, intermediate school district, or community college district extending beyond the boundaries of a
city in which it is located may, pursuant to written order of the Treasurer, be subdivided along the
boundaries of one or more cities and each such subdivision shall be deemed a taxing unit for purposes of
this Section 503.
(b) Separate sub-accounts shall be established in the County's 2002 Tax Payment Account.
Each sub-account shall receive the proceeds of one and only one series of Notes, and amounts shall be
disbursed from the sub-account to only those taxing units designated as being in that series.
(c) In the event Notes are issued for deposit into the Project Account established under Section
701, separate sub-accounts shall be established in the Project Account. Each sub-account shall receive
the proceeds of one and only one series of Notes, and amounts shall be disbursed from the sub-account
only to accounts, sub-accounts and/or taxing units designated as being in the series corresponding to the
sub-account from which disbursement is being made.
(d) A separate sub-account shall be established in the County's 2002 Note Reserve Account for
each series of Notes, into which shall be deposited the amount determined by the Treasurer under
Section 103 or Section 703 with respect to the series. Each sub-account shall secure one and only one
series.
(e) A separate sub-account shall be established in the County's 2002 Note Payment Account for
each series of Notes. Each sub-account shall be allocated only those amounts described in Section 704
which pertain to the taxing units included in the series corresponding to the sub-account. Chargebacks
received from a taxing unit pursuant to Section 906 shall be deposited in the sub-account corresponding
to the series in which the taxing unit is included. Amounts held in each sub-account shall secure the debt
represented by only those Notes included in the series corresponding to the sub-account, and
disbursements from each sub-account may be applied toward the payment of only those Notes included
in the series corresponding to the sub-account.
(f) The amounts in each sub-account established pursuant to this Section 503 shall secure only
the Notes issued in the series for which such sub-account was established until such Notes and interest
on such Notes are paid in full, after which any amounts remaining in such sub-account shall accrue to the
County and shall no longer be pledged toward payment of the Notes.
VI. TAXABILITY OF INTEREST
601. Federal Tax. The County acknowledges that the current state of Federal law mandates that
the Notes be structured as taxable obligations. Consequently, the Notes shall, subject to Article X, be
issued as obligations the interest on which is not excluded from gross income for purposes of Federal
income tax.
602. State of Michigan Tax. Consistent with the treatment accorded all obligations issued
pursuant to Act 206, interest on the Notes shall be exempt from the imposition of the State of Michigan
income tax and the State of Michigan single business tax, and the Notes shall not be subject to the State
of Michigan intangibles tax.
603. Change in Federal Tax Status. In the event there is a change in the Federal tax law or
regulations, a ruling by the U.S. Department of Treasury or Internal Revenue Service establishes that the
Notes may be issued as exempt from Federal income taxes or a change in Michigan law causes the
Notes in the opinion of counsel to be exempt from federal income taxes, the Notes may be so issued.
VII. FUNDS AND SECURITY
701. Delinquent Tax Project Account. If the Notes are issued and sold before the Treasurer has
received certification from the taxing units of the amount of the Delinquent Taxes and if such certification
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 14, 2002
81
is not reasonably anticipated in time to allow distribution of the proceeds of the Notes within 20 days after
the date of issue, a 2002 Delinquent Tax Project Account (the "Project Account") shall be established by
the Treasurer as a separate and distinct fund of the County within its general fund. The Project Account
shall receive all proceeds from the sale of the Notes, including any premium or accrued interest received
at the time of sale. The Project Account shall be held in trust by an escrow agent until the monies therein
are disbursed in accordance with this Article VII. The escrow agent shall be a commercial bank, shall be
located in Michigan, shall have authority to exercise trust powers, and shall have a net worth in excess of
$25,000,000. The form and content of the agreement between the County and the escrow agent shall be
approved by the Treasurer. Subject to the following sentence, monies deposited in the Project Account
shall be expended only (i) for the purpose of funding the Tax Payment Account established under Section
702 and (ii) to the extent permitted by Act 206, for the purpose of paying the expenses of the offering of
the Notes. In the event the Treasurer by written order so directs, additional funding of the Project
Account may be undertaken, and any surplus proceeds remaining in the Project Account after the
Treasurer has completed the funding of the Tax Payment Account may be transferred to either the 2002
Note Reserve Account created under Section 703 or the 2002 Note Payment Account created under
Section 704. Monies in the Project Account may be disbursed by the escrow agent to the County's 2002
Tax Payment Account at any time and from time to time, upon receipt of a written requisition signed by
the Treasurer.
702. 2002 Tax Payment Account. The County's 2002 Tax Payment Account (the "Tax Payment
Account") is hereby established as a distinct account within the Revolving Fund. The Treasurer shall
designate all or a portion of the proceeds of the Notes, not to exceed the amount of Delinquent Taxes, for
deposit in the Tax Payment Account. If, however, the proceeds of the Notes are initially deposited in the
Project Account pursuant to Section 701, the Treasurer is instead authorized and directed to transfer
monies included in the Project Account in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 701. The
County shall apply the monies in the Tax Payment Account to the payment of the Delinquent Taxes or
expenses of the borrowing in accordance with Act 206. The allocation of monies from the Tax Payment
Account may be made pursuant to a single, comprehensive disbursement or may instead be made from
time to time, within the time constraints of Act 206, to particular taxing units as monies are paid into the
Tax Payment Account, such that the source of the monies (whether from the County's own funds, from
the proceeds of a tax exempt borrowing or from the proceeds of a taxable borrowing) may be traced to
the particular taxing unit receiving the funds. Moreover, and regardless of whether multiple series of
Notes are issued, the Tax Payment Account may be divided into separate sub-accounts in order to allow
the Treasurer to designate which taxing units shall receive borrowed funds and which shall receive funds
otherwise contributed by the County.
703. 2002 Note Reserve Account. In the event funding is provided as described in this Section
703, the Treasurer shall establish a 2002 Note Reserve Account (the "Note Reserve Account") as a
distinct account within the Revolving Fund. After depositing all of the monies to fund the Tax Payment
Account pursuant to Section 702, the Treasurer shall next transfer to the Note Reserve Account, either
from the Project Account or directly from the proceeds of Notes, any proceeds remaining from the initial
issuance of the Notes. In addition, the Treasurer may transfer unpledged monies from other County
sources to the Note Reserve Account in an amount which, when added to any other amounts to be
deposited in the Note Reserve Account, does not exceed the amount reasonably required for the Notes
secured by the Reserve Account or, if less, 20% of the total amount of the Notes secured by the Reserve
Account. Except as provided below, all monies in the Note Reserve Account shall be used solely for
payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the extent that monies required for
such payment are not available in the County's 2002 Note Payment Account. Monies in the Note
Reserve Account shall be withdrawn first for payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Notes before County general funds are used to make the payments. All income or interest earned by, or
increment to, the Note Reserve Account due to its investment or reinvestment shall be deposited in the
Note Reserve Account. When the Note Reserve Account is sufficient to retire the Notes and accrued
interest thereon, the Treasurer may order that the Note Reserve Account be used to purchase the Notes
on the market, or, if the Notes are not available, to retire the Notes when due. If so ordered by the
Treasurer, all or any specified portion of the Note Reserve Account may be applied toward the
redemption of any Notes designated for redemption in accordance with Section 209.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 14, 2002

704. 2002 Note Payment Account.
(a) The County's 2002 Note Payment Account is hereby established as a distinct account within
the Revolving Fund. (The County's 2002 Note Payment Account, as supplemented by monies held in any
interim account that are designated for transfer to the 2002 Note Payment Account, is herein referred to
as the "Note Payment Account".) The Treasurer is directed to deposit into the Note Payment Account,
promptly on receipt, those amounts described below in Paragraphs (i), (ii), (iv), and (v) that are not
excluded pursuant to Subsection (c) below. Furthermore, the Treasurer may, by written order, deposit
into the Note Payment Account all or any portion of the amounts described below in Paragraph (iii).
(i) All Delinquent Taxes.
(ii) All statutory interest on the Delinquent Taxes.
(iii) All property tax administration fees on the Delinquent Taxes, net of any amounts applied
toward the expenses of this borrowing.
(iv) Any amounts that are received by the Treasurer from the taxing units within the County
because of the uncollectability of the Delinquent Taxes.
(v) Any amounts remaining in the Project Account after the transfers to the Tax Payment
Account and Note Reserve Account have been made as specified in Sections 702 and 703.
(b) Monies in the Note Payment Account shall be used by the County to pay principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Notes as the same become due and payable.
(c) (i) The Treasurer may by written order provide that only a portion of the sums described
above in Subsection (a) shall be deposited into the Note Payment Account and applied toward the
payment of debt service on the Notes, in which event those sums which are withheld from the Note
Payment Account shall be deposited into the Tax Payment Account or, pursuant to further order of the
Treasurer, applied toward any other purpose consistent with Act 206. The portion of any sums described
in Subsection (a) which are withheld from the Note Payment Account pursuant to this Subsection shall be
determined in accordance with the following Paragraph.
(ii) Prior to the issuance of the Notes, the Treasurer may by written order specify a cut-off date
not earlier than March 1, 2002, and only those sums payable to the Note Payment Account and received
by the County after the cut-off date shall be applied to the Note Payment Account.
(d) The Treasurer may by written order provide that at such time as sufficient funds shall have
been deposited into the Note Payment Account to pay all remaining amounts owed under the Notes the
pledge on any additional monies otherwise payable to the Note Payment Account shall be discharged
and such monies shall not be deposited into the Note Payment Account or otherwise pledged toward
payment of the Notes.
(e) The Treasurer may by written order provide that in the event Notes are issued pursuant to
Article III, amounts that would otherwise be included in the Note Payment Account or the Note Reserve
Account (or any sub-account therein for a particular series of Notes) shall not include any amounts
received by the County prior to the latest maturity date of any series of Notes previously issued under
Article II and/or Article III.
705. Limited Tax General Obligation and Pledge.
(a) The Notes shall be the general obligation of the County, backed by the County's full faith and
credit, the County's tax obligation (within applicable constitutional and statutory limits) and the County's
general funds. The County budget shall provide that if the pledged monies are not collected in sufficient
amounts to meet the payments of the principal and interest due on the Notes, the County, before paying
any other budgeted amounts, shall promptly advance from its general funds sufficient monies to pay such
principal and interest.
(b) In addition, the monies listed below are pledged to the repayment of the Notes and, subject to
Section 901, shall be used solely for repayment of the Notes until the principal of, premium (if any) and
interest on the Notes are paid in full:
(i) All amounts deposited or earned in any Project Account, until disbursed in accordance
with Section 701;
(ii) All net proceeds from the sale of the Notes deposited or earned in the Tax Payment
Account, until disbursed in accordance with Section 702;
(iii) All amounts deposited in the Note Payment Account pursuant to Section 704(a);
(iv) All amounts deposited in the Note Reserve Account;
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 14, 2002
83
(v) All amounts earned from the investment of monies held in the Note Payment Account or
the Note Reserve Account; and
(vi) Any supplemental monies placed in the Note Payment Account and drawn in the
discretion of the Treasurer from unpledged sums on the revolving funds, which pledge shall be subject to
such limitations or exceptions as shall be set forth in the written order of the Treasurer.
(c) If the Notes shall be issued in various series pursuant to Article V, this pledge shall in the
case of any independently secured series extend only to monies in accounts or sub-accounts pertaining
to the particular series.
(d) If the amounts so pledged are not sufficient to pay the principal and interest when due, the
County shall pay the same from its general funds or other available sources. Pursuant to written order of
the Treasurer, the County may later reimburse itself for such payments from the Delinquent Taxes
collected.
706. Security for Renewal, Refunding or Advance Refunding Notes. Renewal, refunding, or
advance refunding Notes shall be secured by all or any portion of the same security securing the Notes
being renewed, refunded or advance refunded. The monies pledged in Section 705 for the repayment of
the Notes are also pledged for the repayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any
renewal, refunding, or advance refunding Notes issued pursuant to this Resolution, and any such
renewal, refunding, or advance refunding Notes shall be the general obligation of the County, backed by
its full faith and credit, which shall include the tax obligation of the County, within applicable constitutional
and statutory limits.
707. Use of Funds after Full Payment or Provisions for Payment. After all principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on the Notes have been paid in full or provision made therefor by investments of
pledged amounts in direct noncallable obligations of the United States of America in amounts and with
maturities sufficient to pay all such principal, premium, if any, and interest when due, any further
collection of Delinquent Taxes and all excess monies in any fund or account of the Revolving Fund, and
any interest or income on any such amounts, may, pursuant to written order of the Treasurer and subject
to Article V, be used for any proper purpose within the Revolving Fund including the securing of
subsequent issues of notes.
VIII. SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENTS
801. Supplemental Agreements and Documents. The Treasurer, on behalf of the County, is
authorized to enter into any or all of the following agreements or commitments as may, in the Treasurer's
discretion, be necessary, desirable or beneficial in connection with the issuance of the Notes, upon such
terms and conditions as the Treasurer may determine appropriate:
(a) A letter of credit, line of credit, repurchase agreement, note insurance, or similar instrument,
providing backup liquidity and/or credit support for the Notes;
(b) A reimbursement agreement, revolving credit agreement, revolving credit note, or similar
instrument, setting forth repayments of and security for amounts drawn under the letter of credit, line of
credit, repurchase agreement or similar instrument;
(c) A marketing, remarketing, placement, authenticating, paying or tender agent agreement or
dealer agreement designating a marketing, remarketing, authenticating, paying, tender or placement
agent or dealer and prescribing the duties of such person or persons with respect to the Notes; and
(d) A put agreement or provision allowing the purchaser of the Notes to require the County to
repurchase the Notes upon demand at such times as may be provided in such put agreement or
provision.
(e) An agreement to use amounts formerly pledged to other years borrowings as security for the
Notes when no longer so pledged.
802. Revolving Credit Notes. If the Treasurer enters into a revolving credit agreement (the
"Agreement") pursuant to Section 801 above, the Agreement may call for the issuance of one or more
revolving credit notes (the "Revolving Credit Notes") for the purpose of renewing all or part of maturing
Notes or Notes that have been put pursuant to a put agreement or provision. Such Revolving Credit
Notes shall be issued pursuant to Article II or III, as appropriate, and in accordance with the following
provisions:
(a) Interest on the Revolving Credit Notes may be payable on maturity, on prior redemption,
monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, or as otherwise provided in the Agreement.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 14, 2002
84
(b) The Revolving Credit Notes may mature on one or more date or dates not later than the final
maturity date of the Notes, as provided in the Agreement.
(c) The Treasurer may, at the time of the original issuance of the Notes, execute and deliver one
Revolving Credit Note in a maximum principal amount not exceeding the lending commitment under the
Agreement from time to time in force (and may substitute one such Note in a lesser principal amount for
another in the event the lending commitment is reduced), provided that a schedule shall be attached to
such Note on which loans and repayments of principal and interest are evidenced and further provided
that the making of a loan and the evidencing of such loan on the schedule of any such Note shall
constitute the issuance of a renewal Note for purposes of this Resolution.
IX. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
901. Expenses. Expenses incurred in connection with the Notes shall be paid from the property
tax administration fees collected on the Delinquent Taxes and, if so ordered by the Treasurer, from any
earnings on the proceeds of the offering or from other monies available to the County.
902. Application to Department of Treasury. The Treasurer or Bond Counsel is authorized to
make application to the Department of Treasury on behalf of the County for an order permitting the
County to make this borrowing and issue the Notes or to apply to the Department of Treasury for an
exception to prior approval.
903. Bond Counsel. The Notes (and any renewal, refunding or advance refunding Notes) shall
be delivered with the unqualified opinion of Axe & Ecklund, P.C., which selection of bond counsel may, at
the option of the Treasurer, be for one or more years.
904. Financial Consultants Municipal Financial Consultants Incorporated, Grosse Pointe Farms,
Michigan, is hereby retained to act as financial consultant and advisor to the County in connection with
the sale and delivery of the Bonds.
905. Complete Records. The Treasurer shall keep full and complete records of all deposits to
and withdrawals from each of the funds and accounts in the Revolving Fund and any account or sub-
account created pursuant to this Resolution and of all other transactions relating to such funds, accounts
and sub-accounts, including investments of money in, and gain derived from, such funds and accounts.
906. Chargebacks. If, by the date which is three months prior to the final maturity date of the
Notes, sufficient monies are not on deposit in the Note Payment Account and the Note Reserve Account
to pay all principal of and interest on the Notes when due, Delinquent Taxes not then paid or recovered at
or prior to the latest tax sale transacted two or more months before the final maturity of the Notes shall, if
necessary to ensure full and timely payment on the date of final maturity, be charged back to the local
units in such fashion as the Treasurer may determine, and, subject to Article V, the proceeds of such
chargebacks shall be deposited into the County's 2002 Note Payment Account no later than five weeks
prior to the final maturity of the Notes. This Section 905 shall not be construed to limit the authority of the
Treasurer under State law to charge back under other circumstances or at other times.
907. Investments. The Treasurer is authorized to invest all monies in the Project Account, in the
Revolving Fund or in any account or sub-account therein that is established pursuant to this Resolution in
any one or more of the investments authorized as lawful investments for counties under Act No. 20,
Public Acts of 1943, as amended. The Treasurer is further authorized to enter into a contract on behalf of
the County under the Surplus Funds Investment Pool Act, Act No. 367, Michigan Public Acts of 1982, as
amended, and to invest in any investment pool created thereby monies held in the Project Account, in the
Revolving Fund, or in any account or sub-account therein which is established pursuant to this
Resolution.
908. Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Notes. In the event any Note is mutilated, lost, stolen,
or destroyed, the Treasurer may, on behalf of the County, execute and deliver, or order the Registrar or
Paying Agent to authenticate and deliver, a new Note having a number not then outstanding, of like date,
maturity and denomination as that mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed. In the case of a mutilated Note, a
replacement Note shall not be delivered unless and until such mutilated Note is surrendered to the
Treasurer or the Registrar or Paying Agent. In the case of a lost, stolen, or destroyed Note, a
replacement Note shall not be delivered unless and until the Treasurer and the Registrar or Paying Agent
shall have received such proof of ownership and loss and indemnity as they determine to be sufficient.
ARTICLE X.
TAX-EXEMPT NOTES OR REFUNDING
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 14, 2002
85
1001. Refunding of Taxable Debt or Issuance of Tax-Exempt Debt. The County acknowledges
that the current state of Federal law precludes the issuance of the Notes as obligations the interest on
which is exempt from Federal income tax. However, the County presently contemplates that anticipated
amendments to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") and/or the Treasury Regulations issued
thereunder (the "Regulations") or a change in Michigan law changing the character of the Notes may in
the future permit the issuance of general obligation limited tax notes on a tax-exempt basis, and, in view
of this expectation, the County, through the offices of the Treasurer, shall issue tax-exempt notes or issue
obligations to refund any or all outstanding Notes issued as taxable obligations, at the time, on the terms,
and to the extent set forth in this Article X.
1002. Timing of Refunding. The aforementioned refunding obligations (the "Refunding Notes")
shall be issued after the effective date of any change in the Code, Regulations, Internal Revenue Service
pronouncements or judicial rulings which, as confirmed by the written opinion of bond counsel, permit the
refunding of all or some of the outstanding Notes with proceeds from obligations the interest on which is
excluded from gross income for purposes of Federal income tax.
1003. Extent of Refunding. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 1003, the Refunding
Notes shall refund all Notes outstanding at or after the effective date of any change in the law described
in Section 1002. This Section 1003 shall not, however, be construed to require the refunding of any Note
prior to the time such Note may be refunded on a tax-exempt basis, nor shall this Section 1003 be
construed to require the refunding of any Note, if that refunding would result in greater cost to the County
(including interest expense, professional fees and administrative outlays) than would arise if the Note
were to remain outstanding.
1004. Confirmatory Action. Subsequent to any change in the law described in Section 1002, the
Board shall convene to consider any terms of the Refunding Bonds requiring specific ratification by the
Board.
1005. Arbitrage Covenant and Tax Law Compliance. In the event tax-exempt Notes or
Refunding Notes are issued pursuant to this Article X, the following covenants shall be observed by the
County:
(i) the County will make no use of the proceeds of the Notes or Refunding Notes and will
undertake no other intentional act with respect to the Notes or Refunding Notes which, if such use or act
had been reasonably expected on the date of issuance of the Notes or Refunding Notes or if such use or
act were intentionally made or undertaken after the date of issuance of the Notes or Refunding Notes,
would cause the Notes or Refunding Notes to be "arbitrage bonds," as defined in Section 148 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), in the Regulations promulgated under
Sections 103 and 148 of the Code or in any successor or supplementary provision of law hereinafter
promulgated,
(ii) the County will undertake all actions as shall be necessary to maintain the Notes or Refunding
Notes as obligations the interest on which qualifies for the tax exemption provided by Section 103(a) of
the Code, including, where appropriate and without limitation, filing informational returns with the
Secretary of Treasury, keeping accurate account of all monies earned in any fund, account or sub-
account authorized by this Resolution or any resolution adopted in accordance with Section 1004 above,
certifying cumulative cash flow deficits of the County and the local units, and investing any required
portion of the gross proceeds of the Notes or Refunding Notes, whether on behalf of the County or the
local units, in tax-exempt obligations or State and Local Government Series obligations, and
(iii) the County will make timely payment to the United States of any investment earnings, realized
by the County on the gross proceeds of the Notes or Refunding Notes, as may be subject to rebate under
Section 148(f) of the Code, and, to the extent required under applicable law or deemed by the Treasurer
to be in the best interest of the County pursuant to written order, the County's obligation to make such
payment to the United States shall also account for excess investment earnings realized by local units on
all or a portion of the gross proceeds distributed to, and held by, the local units pursuant to Section 702,
(iv) the Treasurer shall be directed to take such actions and to enter into such agreements and
certifications, on behalf of the County, as the Treasurer shall deem necessary or appropriate to comply
with the foregoing covenants.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET / FISCAL SERVICES - CREATION OF
ACCOUNTANT III POSITION FOR GRANTS ACCOUNTING
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS during the past eight years, Oakland County has made a concerted effort to obtain grant
funding from Federal, State, and private sources in order to expand services to its citizens without
expenditure of General Fund dollars; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 14, 2002
99
WHEREAS during this time period the County has contracted with an outside firm to expand grant
opportunities, has employed a Grant Writer to assist departments in applying for grants, and has created
a Grant Administrator position to assist with grant compliance; and
WHEREAS these efforts have been successful in that Oakland County has expanded the dollar value of
grants from the 1994 amount of $11,874,980 to the FY 2001 amount of $21,379,403, an 80% increase,
three times the rate of inflation; and
WHEREAS during the same time period that grant volume increased 80%, the Grants Accounting Unit,
which is responsible for the accounting and financial reporting related to grants, experienced a 33%
reduction in staff, from six (6) full-time employees to four (4) full-time employees; and
WHEREAS of the four current positions in the Grants Accounting Unit, one Accountant III position is
dedicated full-time, and is paid from Community Development grants, and one Accountant II position is
dedicated full-time, and is paid from Workforce Development grants; and
WHEREAS this configuration leaves only one Accountant I and one Supervisor, paid from General Fund
allocations, responsible for the accounting and financial reporting of most of the remaining grants
received by the County; and
WHEREAS the aforementioned increase in workload and the increased complexity of reporting
requirements is making it impossible for the current Grant Accounting staff to maintain their required
functions resulting in untimely or inaccurate grant reporting potentially leading to disallowed cost, which
would require payback from the County General Fund, or potentially the loss of future grant opportunities;
and
WHEREAS the addition of one (1) General Fund / General Purpose funded Accountant III position would
place the County in a better position to meet all grant accounting and financial reporting requirements;
and
WHEREAS the annual cost for an Accountant III position equals $70,277, including $45,634 in salary,
$18,254 in fringe benefits, and $6,389 in operating. Cost for the balance of FY 2002 equals $27,530; and
WHEREAS due to the work of Fiscal Services staff, in conjunction with private firm Maximus, Inc., there
has been an increase in General Fund indirect cost revenue which can be used to cover the cost of an
additional Accountant III position.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners authorizes the creation of one
(1) General Fund / General Purpose funded Accountant III position in the Fiscal Services Division /
Grants Accounting Unit, to be funded by revenue generated from indirect cost charges to grants.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the FY 2002 and FY 2003 Biennial Budget should be amended, as
specified below, to provide the resources to fund the additional Accountant III position:

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - SUPPORT FOR PERMANENT REPOSITORY OF NUCLEAR
WASTE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Michigan Association of Counties' Board of Directors passed a resolution to urge
Michigan's U.S. Senators and members of Congress to support the efforts of the U.S. Department of
Energy and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to establish a permanent repository for high-level
nuclear waste by opening Yucca Mountain, Nevada; and
WHEREAS over the past four decades, nuclear power has become a significant source for the nation's
production of electricity. Michigan is among the majority of states that derive energy from nuclear plants;
and
WHEREAS since the earliest days of nuclear power, the great dilemma associated with this technology is
how to deal with the waste material that is produced. This high-level radioactive waste material demands
exceptional care in all facets of its storage and disposal, including the transportation of this material; and
WHEREAS in 1982, Congress passed the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982. This legislation requires the
federal government, through the U.S. Department of Energy, to build a facility for the permanent storage
of high-level nuclear waste. This act, which was amended in 1987, includes a specific timetable to identify
a suitable location and to establish the waste facility. The costs for this undertaking are to be paid from a
fee that is assessed on all nuclear energy produced; and
WHEREAS in accordance with the federal act, Michigan electric customers have paid $405.8 million into
this federal fund for construction of the federal waste facility; and
WHEREAS there are serious concerns that the federal government is not complying with the timetables
set forth in federal law. The U.S. Department of Energy, working with the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, must not fail to meet its obligation as provided by law. There is too much at stake.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby
call upon Michigan's elected officials to support the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Regulatory
Commission in their effort to fulfill their obligation to establish a permanent repository at Yucca Mountain,
Nevada, for high-level nuclear waste.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be transmitted the U.S. Department of Energy,
the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Michigan's U.S. Senators and members of Congress and the
Michigan Association of Counties.
