BY: GOVERNMENT & TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE-
Richard G. Skarritt, Chairperson
RE: SENATE BILL 132 (OPPOSE) PERMITS A $2.00 ADD
CHARGE FOR CALLS MADE TO 9-1-1 SYSTEM
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS when the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
approved the 9 -1-1 emergency telephone services system, it was
understood that users would be assessed a total monthly fee for
the system of from 16 cents to 25 cents; and
WHEREAS after installation and other start-up costs were
known, it was determined that a user fee of 20 cents- monthly would
be imposed over five years; and
WHEREAS Senate Bill 132 has been introduced in the State
Legislature permitting the telephone company to charge up to $2.00
over and above the existing monthly fee for each call made to
the 9-1-1 service system; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners approved
the 9-1-1 system at the outset with the understanding that a total
monthly rate of less than 25 cents would be imposed; and
WHEREAS any additional charge is totally unacceptable because
the system received public support based on the agreement that
the less than 25-cent monthly rate would be the only system charge.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County
Board of Commissioners opposed Senate Bill 132.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be
sent to the County's Legislative Agent and to the Legislators representing
Oakland County.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Government & Transportation
Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
