MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #96214
BY: COMMISSIONER JOHN P. GARFIELD, DISTRICT 4:9
IN RE: DEFERRAL OF UTILITY PAYMENTS FOR SERVICE PEOPLE CALLED TO
ACTIVE DUTY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS there are many Oakland County residents who, through
the Armed Forces Reserves and National Guard, stand ready to
defend our nation and our freedom when called upon to do so; and
WHEREAS these people, in addition to their willingness to
risk their personal safety for our defense, also bear the
responsibilities inherent in being productive members of our
society during peacetime; and
WHEREAS service people called to active duty earn a fraction
of the income that they would earn in their normal careers; and
WHEREAS in previous times of need, these service people who
were called to active duty have had the utilities terminated at
their homes while serving their country; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners wishes to
take action which will ensure that those people called to serve
will not face this in the future.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board
of Commissioners hereby calls upon every provider of natural gas,
electricity, sewer, and water service to develop programs that
will defer the payments of Oakland County residents called to
active duty for these basic utilities until such time as these
residents return to their civilian employment.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Committee, I move the adoption
of the foregoing resolution.
