GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #99118
By: Commissioner Don Jensen, District #15
IN RE: EMERGENCY TELEPHONE SERVICE ENABLING ACT - HB4858
TO: The Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the Emergency Telephone Service Committee (ETSC) was created within the
Department of State Police to develop statewide standards and model system considerations for
emergency telephone systems; and
WHEREAS, the ETSC has recommended that the subject proposed legislation include a
service charge of 47 cents per month for each CMRS connection that has a billing address in the
state, collectible by the CMRS supplier, and deposited in the CMRS emergency telephone fund
operated by the State Department of the Treasury; and
WHEREAS the Department of Treasury is to disburse funds as follows:
'A cent to the CMRS supplier to cover the costs of billing and collection,
25 cents to reimburse CMRS suppliers for providing and installing
equipment that implements the wireless emergency service order under the act,
10 cents to be disbursed equally to each county that has a final 911 plan in place,
10 cents to each county on a per capita basis,
1 'A cents to PSAPs for training personnel assigned to 911 centers; and
WHEREAS the proposed formula would result in an estimated $358,000 distribution to
Oakland County, far below the anticipated revenue generated from fees paid by County residents
who have cellular phones; and
WHEREAS Oakland County is estimated to receive $9,372 per PSAP while other counties
with less than 100,000 residents will receive $70,000 per PSAP; and
WHEREAS information regarding the number and geographic location of cellular phones
is not readily available to factor into the formula for distribution, but will be in the future; and
WHEREAS "people" make emergency telephone calls, and distribution of funds to
counties should be based entirely on population.
WHEREAS the proposed 911 legislation is scheduled for early consideration by the
Energy and Technology Committee of the State House,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Oakland County strongly urges this
legislature to amend the proposed Act to delete Sec. 409(1)(B) and amend Sec. 409(1)(C) to
provide that 20 cents be disbursed to each county that has a final 911 plan in place on a per capita
basis.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the distribution formula should be revised after one
year's experience, when information regarding the number and geographic location of cellular
phones is available to factor into the formula for funds distribution, thereby more closely
matching emergency services to cellular phone users.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be forwarded to each
legislator on the Energy and Technology Committee, to the Director of the Michigan State
Police, and to the Michigan Association of Counties.
Chairperson, I move adoption of the foregoing resolution.
