RESOLUTION N0. 83-( . INTRODUCED BY: Mayor Beebe and Council as a Whole A RESOLUTION IN OPPOSITION TO THE RATE INCREASE REQUESTED BY THE OHIO BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY. WHEREAS; the Ohio Bell Telephone Company has recently announced its intent to seek from the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio an additional rate increase for telephone service in its entire service area; and WHEREAS, this proposed rate increase, if permitted, would increase the already extreme financial burdens borne by the residents of Mayfield Village and other communities throughout Northeastern Ohio by increasing the already exhorbitant utility bills and would be a particular hardship on senior citizens and other individuals on fixed incomes; and a WHEREAS, there does not appear to be any justification for inrease in rates and charges as proposed by the Ohio Bell Telephone Company and is another example of their disregard for customers and the public interest; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF AZAYFIELD VILLAGE, OHIO, THAT: Section 1. The Mayor and Council of Mayfield Village, Ohio, urge the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio to reject the latest rate increase proposed by the Ohio Bell Telephone Company. Section 2. The Clerk of Council is hereby authorized and directed to forward a copy of this Resolution to Governor Richard Celeste, to all members of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, to the entire Cuyahoga County delegation to the General Assembly and to the Clerks of Council of all municipalities in Cuyahoga County. Section 3. That the Council finds and determines that all formal actions of this Council relating to the adoption of this Resolution have been taken at open meetings of this Council; and that deliberations of this Council and of its committees, resulting in such formal action, took place in meetings open to the public, in compliance with all statutory requirements, including the requirements of Section 121.22 of the Ohio Revised Code.
