October 17th, 2011 – The Southfield City Council unanimously approved a resolution to the Michigan Public Services Commission (MPSC) “to initiate a careful review and analysis of the expressed public concerns

relative to potential health effects of smart meters, privacy issues, and the lack of consumer/homeowner options to either opt-out of the installation in the first place or to have the smart meter removed after installation, as a result of consumer/homeowner concerns that may have arisen after said installation.

Council also asked for the MPSC to set up “open public forum” for discussion of these issues.
