Update to May 10th Emergency Dispatch Consolidation News.

The Downtown Birmingham Bloomfield Hill  online edition  is reporting that according to City Manager Jay,Cravens City Commission and the Public Safety Department Union were notified  last Friday May 3rd that a letter from  Bloomfield Township would  be coming.

That letter we believe is the one the City placed in May 10th Agenda package for discussion at next Tuesday's March 14th City Commission meeting. Since all the details of that letter from Township Supervisor Leo Savoie  have now been published in various mediums, and the City continues to refer the letter we are providing it now. 

Downtown Publications also reports that "A concern for  Cravens and Bloomfield Hills Commissioners regarding consolidation  (of emergency dispatch) had been displacing  members of the  Bloomfield Hills public safety staff. The Consolidation agreement would help mitigate that concern, Cravens noted."

To the contrary this publication has noticed no mitigation of concern in either the public safety department or City residents contacted. Cravens letter to City Commission  suggests a two member sub committee which will leave  3800 residents with the absolute  minimum of public participation, and input in  the decision.
