South Bloomfield council unanimously backs OML challenge to AT&T tariff via emergency ordinance
Summary
The Village of South Bloomfield’s council unanimously approved Ordinance 2025-02 on Jan. 21, 2025, expressing support for OML’s challenge to an AT&T tariff and passing it as an emergency after waiving additional readings.
Mayor Aaron Thomas and the South Bloomfield Village Council unanimously approved Ordinance 2025-02 on Jan. 21, 2025, a measure expressing the village’s support for OML’s challenge to an AT&T tariff. Councilmember Tom Ramsay moved for first reading and, after a separate motion, the council waived second and third readings and passed the ordinance as an emergency.
The vote was recorded as unanimous: Ken Everts, Woody Blanton, Tom Ramsay, Dena Cobb and Lisa McDorman voted yes. Council had earlier amended the meeting agenda to remove Resolution 2025-03 and add Ordinance 2025-03 before taking up the matter.
The ordinance’s text as discussed in the meeting indicates the village’s formal backing of OML’s (OML) tariff challenge against AT&T; the transcript references OML by its acronym. The council did not debate amendments to the ordinance during the meeting, and no public comment about the measure was recorded.
By passing the ordinance as an emergency, the council put its position on the record immediately; the council did not provide additional detail in the meeting about subsequent steps or legal costs. The item was taken and acted on during the Jan. 21 meeting.
The council’s next regular session is scheduled for Feb. 18, 2025, where follow-up or related items could appear on the agenda.
