*MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #11069
BY: Finance Committee, Thomas Middleton, Chairperson
IN RE: ESTABLISHMENT OF OAKLAND COUNTY TELEPHONE OPERATING SURCHARGE RATE
FOR THE PERIOD JULY 1, 2011 TO JUNE 30, 2012
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Miscellaneous Resolution #99279 authorized the telephone companies operating within
Oakland County to levy up to four (4%) percent surcharge for emergency telephone operations (with the
actual levy being $.57 per wireline, as then defined by State statutes, while the authorized amount could
have been up to $.80 per wireline) with recognition that the surcharge would expire on December 31,
2006; and
WHEREAS enabling legislation permitted the extension of wireline and wireless operating surcharges
from January 1, 2007 and through February 28, 2008 pending a more permanent solution; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners extended the telephone operating surcharge for 2007 and
through February 28, 2008 at a rate of $.28 per line, as defined (down from the $.57 per line); and
WHEREAS the $.28 per line, as defined, was to fund the construction of a new radio communication
system and related operations ($19 per line) and a one-time charge of $.09 per line for the acquisition of
IP-based call-taking equipment (NG-911 Project) for the County Sheriff’s Office and local public safety
answering points operating within Oakland County; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 21, 2011
181
WHEREAS the Michigan Public Services Commission (MPSC) interpreted the legislation to limit the
Board of Commissioner approved telephone operating surcharge of $.28 per line, as defined, to $.18 per
line through Case Number U-15489 causing a restructuring of the (NG-911 Project) fund (capital costs)
and the (capital and operating costs) of the new radio communications system; and
WHEREAS Public Act 379 of 2008 requires the Board of Commissioners to review the amount of the
operational surcharge it annually authorizes each spring and adjust, if applicable, the amount effective
July 1, of that year; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners established a telephone operating surcharge rate for the period
of July1, 2009, to June 30, 2010, of $.18 per line, as defined; and
WHEREAS the telephone operating surcharge for the period July 1, 2010, through June 30, 2011, was
set at $.23 per line, as defined, by the Board of Commissioners in spring 2010 to be used to construct
and maintain the radio communications/E-9-1-1 functions for public safety (law enforcement, fire and
emergency medical services) within Oakland County; and
WHEREAS a memorandum dated February 4, 2011, from County Administration covering the financial
and programmatic status of the Radio Communications Fund for the quarter ended December 31, 2010,
was submitted to the Finance Committee for its March 17, 2011, meeting as well as a March 1, 2011,
memorandum involving the recommendation of the telephone operating surcharge rate for the July 1,
2011, through June 30, 2012, period; and
WHEREAS the Radio Oversight Committee, a committee of the CLEMIS Advisory Board, unanimously
approved the extension of the $.23 per line telephone operating surcharge on March 3, 2011, for the July
1, 2011, through June 30, 2012, period; and
WHEREAS such approved operating surcharge resolution shall be submitted to the MPSC no later than
May 16, 2011 for the period of July 1, 2011, through June 30, 2012; and
WHEREAS the County Administration believes that the ―parity issue‖ as defined in correspondence
supplied in connection with the setting of the prior year telephone operating surcharge requiring out-
County law enforcement agencies (sans the City of Livonia Police Department, as Livonia is the CLEMIS
disaster recovery/back-up site; such back-up costs have been and continue to be borne by Livonia) to
increase their financial support of CLEMIS remains unresolved even as on-going discussions have
occurred in fall and up to the present; and
WHEREAS the non-County law enforcement agencies are charged a membership fee 10% higher than
those agencies within Oakland County and are generally required to connect to the CLEMIS systems at
their cost but such amounts are inadequate to provide parity with the CLEMIS subsidies provided by
Oakland County taxpayers; and
WHEREAS it was determined that the resolution of the CLEMIS Operating Fund Financial Issues were
paramount to the operating efficiencies of local law enforcement agencies, particularly given the reduction
in most, if not all, agencies arising from the regional economy and declines in property values and, now,
the anticipated reductions facing local units of government from State support reductions (e.g. revenue
sharing and other State support); and
WHEREAS increases in CLEMIS membership and other fees burdened on Oakland County law
enforcement agencies could exacerbate the reductions in law enforcement services.
WHEREAS the resolution of the parity issue is not going to occur prior to the submission of the operating
surcharge rate requirement imposed by the State.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorizes the
extension of the operating surcharge on telephone lines, as defined by State statute, for the period of July
1, 2011, through June 30, 2012, to cover the operations, construction and necessary provisions of the
Radio Communications Fund in the amount of $.23 per line, as defined.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the anticipated telephone operating surcharge revenue for the period
of July 1, 2011, through June 30, 2012, was based on the $.23 per line, as defined was used for the
County’s FY 2011 - 2012 operating budgets; therefore, no budget amendment is required at this time.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that County Administration and the law enforcement agencies plan to
continue working towards resolving the ―parity issue‖ as described in FY 2010 for discussion with the
Board of Commissioners no later than the FY 2012-2014 CLEMIS Fund budget hearing.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Chairman of the Finance Committee shall appoint a task force of
commissioners to consider the ―parity issue‖ with a report due back no later than June 30, 2011, for
consideration in the budget hearings in the summer; such task force shall include local law enforcement
officials and CLEMIS staff members as appropriate.
