GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #98197
BY: Commissioner David L. Moffitt, District #18
IN RE: AGAINST PRIMARY INTEREXCHANGE CARRIER CHARGE (PICC) FOR MULTI-LINE
BUSINESS CUSTOMERS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Primary Interexchange Carrier Charge (PICC) being initiated in
Michigan by local telephone service providers is a flat monthly per line access
charge on long-distance service originating and concluding within the State=s
boundaries; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. November 19, 1998
490
WHEREAS according to the Michigan Telecommunications Act, local carriers
can mirror Federal access charges without Michigan Public Service Commission
review and therefore can charge as much as they want for the intrastate PICC, as
long as it does not exceed the $2.75 Federal interstate PICC; and
WHEREAS in Michigan, Ameritech is levying a $2.40 per line, per month
Primary Interexchange Carrier Charge on all business customers. GTE, Michigan=s
other major local telephone service provider, has implemented a PICC of $2.75 per
business line per month; and
WHEREAS the PICC levied on the small businesses in Michigan far exceeds the
amount that other states in the Midwest (Ohio, Wisconsin, Indiana and Illinois)
pay, resulting in Michigan telephone users providing over half of the PICC
revenues that Ameritech will collect from the Midwest region; and
WHEREAS the over 40,000 businesses located in Oakland County are a driving
force behind the State=s economy and an indispensable source of job creation -
employing over 854,000 people. The PICC imposes a regulatory constraint on
business development in general and an undue burden on small businesses in
particular; and
WHEREAS the Small Business Association of Michigan has filed a motion with
the Michigan Public Service Commission challenging the new multi-line phone fee,
indicating the small businesses in Michigan are bearing an unreasonable burden
of the total PICC revenues collected by Ameritech.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
supports the efforts of the Small Business Association of Michigan to block
unreasonable and discriminatory Primary Interexchange Carrier Charges from being
levied on all businesses with multiple telephone lines.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges
the Michigan Public Service Commission to take the necessary measures to ensure
that Primary Interexchange Carrier Charges do not unfairly impact small business
growth and development in Michigan and Oakland County.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges
that the Michigan Communications Act be amended to enable the Michigan Public
Service Commission to provide the crucial review and oversight of Primary
Interexchange Carrier Charges (PICC) and the ability to require local telephone
service providers to present documentation and costs supporting their requests
for Primary Interexchange Carrier Charges.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that copies of this adopted resolution be forwarded
to Oakland County legislators, the Michigan Public Service Commission and the
Oakland County legislative lobbyists.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

building and grounds design and location in our community that make it very child
and family friendly, as well as having historical use for similar purposes as

EQUIPMENT AND UNIFICATION OF COUNTY PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, by Miscellaneous
Resolution #86245 (dated August 21, 1986), adopted the E-911 Service Plan
consistent with Public Act 32 of 1986, Emergency Telephone Services Enabling
Act; and
WHEREAS under the County Plan, the initial installation costs ($412,271)
were absorbed by the County and the networks annual recurring costs
(approximately $600,000) are shared on a 50/50 basis with local communities; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County E-911 system became operational
November 14, 1988; and
WHEREAS with the passage of a decade in time and advancement of technology,
public safety officials throughout the County have expressed a need to review the
existing E-911 system and related communication network to identify the status of
the equipment located at the various public service answering points (PSAPs), to
examine the strengths and weaknesses of the current system, and to recommend
improvements where needed; and
WHEREAS the inability of 13 public safety agencies to effectively
communicate at the scene of the Wixom Ford Plant shooting, and the recent
similarly critical life-threatening incident involving the City of Farmington=s
Public Safety Department and the City of Farmington Hill=s Fire Department,
underscores the immediate need to unify County-wide public safety
communication; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners, by Miscellaneous Resolution #97017
dated April 10, 1997, authorized the establishment of the E-911 Communications
Task Force to study public service agency communication needs and make
appropriate recommendations for improvement; and
WHEREAS upon recommendation of the E-911 Communications Task Force, the
Board of Commissioners, by Miscellaneous Resolution #97256, dated
November 20, 1997, authorized the engagement of Plante and Moran, LLP to perform
such study because of their prior experience in assisting the County in
determining the needs relating to replacement of the County=s Court and Law
Enforcement Management Information System (CLEMIS) and in the replacement of the
County=s mobile data terminals and related infrastructure; and
WHEREAS the study by Plante and Moran, LLP conducted between December 1997
and March 1998, including contact with all 32 PSAPs in the County, various
telephone companies and other parties of interest in the study, resulted in a
report presented at the April 17, 1998 meeting of the E-911 Communications Task
Force; and
WHEREAS due to major interoperability deficiencies of the current patchwork
radio systems operated on 150 MHZ, 420 MHZ and 800 MHZ frequencies by public
Commissioners Minutes Continued. November 19, 1998
525
safety agencies throughout the County and due to the prospects for further
denigration of radio communication related to refarming of 150 MHZ and 420 MHZ
frequencies by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the Plante and Moran,
LLP report recommended, and the E-911 Communications Task Force concurred, that
upgrading and expansion of the County=s 800 MHZ system sufficient to encompass
all public safety radios would eliminate the interoperability issues that are
present today; and
WHEREAS the first year cost of the recommended expansion is $14.0 million,
while the annual operating costs amount to as much as $4.2 million, including
debt service on the initial capital outlay; and
WHEREAS expansion of the system is predicated upon the allocation by the
Frequency Allocation Committee of the FCC of an additional fourteen (14) channels
in the 800 MHZ frequency range to accommodate an additional 1400 radios; and
WHEREAS the City of Detroit Water and Sewer Department has petitioned the
Frequency Allocation Committee (FAC) for all available 821 MHZ channels in the
region; such request may be considered at the January, 1999 FAC meeting; and
WHEREAS Public Act 29 of 1994 enables the Board of Commissioners to
authorize a telephone surcharge up to four (4%) percent for emergency
telephone operations; and
WHEREAS over 49 Michigan counties have authorized enactment of a surcharge
for E-911 enhancement and operating purposes, and the charge proposed herein
would amount to only $.16 per phone line per month, with Centrex line counting,
generally, as only one line.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
authorizes the amendment of the Fiscal Year 1999 and 2000 capital improvement
budgets in the amount of $14.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively, to
appropriate funds, in accordance with the attached materials, up to approximately
$18.1 million initially and up to $4.2 million annually, sufficient to address
the subject interoperability requirements of all public safety agencies in
Oakland County.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that in the event the funds are not appropriated in
accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, than and solely in that
event the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorizes the various telephone
companies throughout the County, in the absence of presently feasible alternative
means of financing the system, to levy a four (4%) percent surcharge for
emergency telephone operations contingent upon approval of the Frequency
Allocation Committee of the Federal Communications Commission for the allocation
of fourteen (14) 800 MHz channels, sufficient to address the interoperability
requirements of all public safety agencies in Oakland County.
Chairperson, I move adoption of the foregoing resolution.
