BY: Ruel E. McPherson, District #25
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - FORMATION OF PUBLIC UTILITY TASK FORCE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County residents and businesses are dependent
upon a reliable telephone system to ensure public health, safety and

WHEREAS in recent months, Oakland County residents and businesses
have waited weeks and months for telephone service and/or repair, have
been put on hold by service representatives for long periods of time
and been billed when they have not had service; and
WHEREAS lack of telephone service represents an unsafe and even
life threatening situation for frail, ill and senior residents; and
WHEREAS Oakland County public utility representatives, State
elected officials and local officials have received an increased number
of complaints about service; and
WHEREAS a coordinated effort should be made by the County, public
utility and local officials to address these concerns.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes the formation of a Public Utility Task Force
consisting of seven (7) members, the Chairperson of the General
Government Committee or their designee, the Chairperson of the Public
Services Committee or their designee, three (3) shall be appointed by
the Chairperson of the Board of Commissioners and two (2) shall be
appointed by the General Government Committee.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Task Force shall report back to
the Public Services Committee and the General Government Committee
within 60 days with a recommended plan of action.
