IN RE Amendment to Act 53 of the Public Acts of 1974 (Miss Dig)

Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Public Act 53 of 1974 is an act to protect the public safety
by providing for notices to public utilities by persons excavating or discharging

and mark the location of such underground facility;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners hereby recommends that Act 53 of the Public Acts of 1974 be amended
to provide where the public utility marks the location of underground facilities and
fails to provide the proper location or all of the locations of such underground
facilities in the vicinity and damage results to such underground facility that
the cost to repair such damage be borne by the public utility,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this resolution be
