RE: (OPPOSE) PROPOSED MOVE OF THE CONSUMERS POWER ROYAL
OAK SERVICE FACILITY TO LIVONIA AND PONTIAC
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Consumers Power had planned to move its Royal Oak
service facility to Pontiac and Livonia as of February 1, 1989 but has
since postponed the move at least until July 1; and
WHEREAS Consumers Power announced that the move is expected
to save the utility about $1 million but Utility Workers Local 105
President Vincent Gulli questions whether there would be any saving
and suggests instead that there may, indeed, be a loss; and
WHEREAS Gulli also pointed out that the response time to
emergency calls could increase by 15 minutes to more than an hour for
customers in southeast Oakland County if service personnel are based
in Pontiac and Livonia and servicing the Royal Oak area.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board
of Commissioners takes a position opposing the proposed move of the
Consumers Power service facility from Royal Oak to Livonia and Pontiac.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
