Regular Meeting Minutes of August 8, 2018
McIntyre stated that the Council has missed wishing Judy Priebe, Director of
Legislative Affairs, happy birthday at the last Council meeting.
Meakin congratulated Clerk Nash on her and her team’s efforts on the Primary
Election.
President Toy congratulated Councilmember Meakin who was in the Primary and
succeeded and will move on to the General in November and wished him much
luck.
Clerk Nash thanked all the voters who came out on Tuesday and the absentee
voters, there was an unbelievable turnout of both. There was a 36 percent voter
turnout for Livonia which was high. She then thanked the precinct workers and
those in City Hall who worked under grueling conditions, in high heat and
humidity, and she thanked them profusely. She thanked her staff for the amazing
job they did and Council for their support. She then stated although there were
a few glitches, at least they did not run out of ballots in Wayne County.
President Toy thanked Nash the fabulous job she did and the numbers of voters
that came out. She indicated the Clerk’s role is truly understated.
President Toy stated there are two X-items at the end of the Regular Agenda and
that there is New Data on Items 14 and 15, but the Petitioner has requested for
those to be removed and put on the August 20, 2018 meeting as he is out of
town.
During Audience Communication Raymond Kirchner, 35820 Veri Court, Livonia,
came to the podium stating he had been before Council seven months earlier
where he gave a presentation and he is before Council tonight regarding the
Smart Meters that are introduced and being forced upon citizens by DTE. I
indicated he raised his concerns back in January and noted that the Council had
done a resolution to the MPSC in 2012 and he was not aware that anything had
happened since then. He stated he wished to address the same issue he did
before and provided a legislative analysis to Council of House Bill 4220, which is
presently in the Energy Policy Committee in Lansing. They are not able to get
that out of Committee right now because they can’t get ten votes and it’s been
stuck there for over a year. He requested the Council do a resolution supporting
that House Bill or perhaps the City Attorney do some sort of Amicus brief,
probably not appropriate. He stated the purpose of this is to allow a customer
receiving services from a utility to choose between the traditional meter and the
installation of an advanced meter. That is the issue. He feels the House Bill
supports citizens choice. The Public Service Commission in their staff report
th
back on June 29 of 2013 or 2012, said that citizens should be offered an option,
an opt out. The result is that DTE got approval for an opt out provision which is
a Smart Meter with the transmitter radio turned off or disabled. It’s still vulnerable
to attack or hacking. It’s still a concern to people for their health and safety
because this kind of a transmitter can cycle on and off many times an hour and
40657
Regular Meeting Minutes of August 8, 2018
there’s radio frequencies involved. So he stated his point for today would be a
question have they done anything since January considering such a resolution
and he suggested that Council do this.
President Toy stopped Mr. Kirchner stating that his three minutes were up.
Councilmember Meakin offered another thirty seconds for Kirchner to wrap up
his discussion.
Kirchner continued that the resolution in 2012 was never actually registered at
the MPSC and that needs to be followed up on if the Council does a resolution
in support of 4220. The other suggestion he made is that the City needs to
somehow monitor threatened shut-offs. He stated he is subject to that as DTE
is giving him notice that he has denied them access to the meter which is untrue.
President Toy thanked him for his research and comments. She stated the
handout included a legislative analysis of House Bill 4220 and informed him that
the State of Michigan is basically in charge of this issue.
(Councilmember Kritzman entered the Auditorium at 7:10 p.m.)

Robert Kirchner, 35820 Veri Court, returned to the podium.
President Toy went over the rules of Audience Communication.
Vice President Jolly offered Kirchner an additional three minutes of Audience
Communication.
Kirchner stated the reason he approached the podium is not in disrespect for the
rules but noted that Councilmember Kritzman had not been present at the
beginning of meeting when he spoke. He asked Council if anyone objected to
House Bill 4220 that would make them not lend their support to it.
President Toy responded that when a bill is laying stagnant for over a year, that
the problem lays within the committee structure, and not necessarily this Council.
She reminded him this is a State issue.
Kirchner stated he is only requesting feedback from other Council members.
40666
Regular Meeting Minutes of August 8, 2018
Bahr replied that he did not study this issue and appreciated the handout that
Kirchner brought to the meeting tonight and assured him he will look into this more.
Kirchner asked if Council could do anything to monitor the shutoffs that are
scheduled in the City of Livonia.
President Toy asked City Attorney Bernier to address the issues that Kirchner
brought up and he said the City could pass an Ordinance but that does mean that
DTE or the State would comply with it.
McIntyre stated there are a number of programs available to seniors and lower
income residents to help them in the event of threatened shutoffs and any
ordinance that the City would pass would be unenforceable.
Vice President Jolly responded to Kirchner by saying that the Council are not
unsympathetic to his viewpoints or his situation but as a local governmental unit,
the City Council in the City of Livonia, they are subject to the higher powers being
the State Government. The State Government through their mechanisms and their
structure have a supremacy in regard to this issue in particular. The Council has
no authority to deal with it as Mr. Bernier said. He said the Council believes in
good government and they want to support their citizens but at the same time they
don’t want to go through an effort that they know will be futile. He thanked him for
bringing his concerns before the Council but unfortunately they are not the
appropriate body to address those concerns.
President Toy stated that Kirchner had exhausted the time allowable for his
Audience Communication.
Councilmember Kritzman indicated he had miss the opportunity for
announcements at the beginning of the meeting because of his late arrival but
wished to update the Council on his recent election to SEMCOG’S Executive
Committee representing the City of Livonia and reported out on the meeting held
last week, citing that they are a tremendous resource and invited everyone to
th
visit their website for all they do on a regional basis and in honor of their 50
Anniversary they presented Livonia with a tile commemorating this landmark.
President Toy asked for a few moments of silence to garner strength and hope
for the family of the City’s Police Chaplain whose daughter was struck by a car
while jogging.
On a motion by McIntyre, supported by Bahr, and unanimously adopted,
this 1,854th Regular Meeting of the Council of the City of Livonia was adjourned
at 7:37 p.m. on August 8, 2018.
