impact that a monthly emergency telephone surcharge will have on the senior population within
Oakland County that exist on a modest and fixed income; and

Commissioners approves the exclusion of qualified senior citizens from being levied the four (4%)
percent surcharge for emergency telephone operations.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Oakland County Board of Commissioners

of the current household poverty level, as established by the Federal Government.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Oakland County Board of Commissioners shall
annually evaluate the exclusion of senior citizens from the emergency telephone operating surcharge
to determine the impact on the total revenue that is generated by the surcharge.
