ATTENTION: CURRENT AND FORMER WATERFORD TOWNSHIP RESIDENTS AND PROPERTY OWNERS: IMPORTANT NOTICE OF CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT YOU HAVE A LIMITED TIME TO SUBMIT A CLAIM TO OBTAIN A REFUND. CLAIM FORMS MAY BE OBTAINED AT WWW.KICKHAMHANLEY.COM SEE THE INFORMATION BELOW: TO: All persons and entities which have paid the Charter Township of Waterford (the "Township") for water and sanitary sewage disposal services at any time between April 11, 2010 and May 31, 2017 You are hereby notified that a proposed settlement in the amount of $1,400,000 has been reached with the Township in a class action lawsuit pending in Oakland County Circuit Court titled Mason v. Charter Township of Waterford, Case No. 16-152441-CZ, presiding Judge Nanci Grant, ("Lawsuit") challenging two cost components included in the Township's water and sewer rates, specifically (1) administration expense charges by the Township to the Water and Sewer Fund, and the Township's practices of not paying for services provided by the Water and Sewer Fund to the General Fund and not allocating a share of the refunds received from the Michigan Municipal Risk Management Association (the "MMRMA") to the Water and Sewer Fund in proportion to the amounts paid by the Water and Sewer Fund (the "General Fund Support Charge") and (2) the cost of public fire protection provided by the Township's water supply system (the "Public Fire Protection Charge") (collectively the "Charges"), imposed by the Township on users of its water and sanitary sewage disposal services. Plaintiff is an individual who is a water and sanitary sewer customer and who has paid the Charges imposed by the Township. Plaintiff contends that the inclusion of such Charges in the Township's water and sewer rates ("Rates") are motivated by a revenue-raising and not a regulatory purpose, that they are disproportionate to the Township's actual costs of providing water and sewer services, and that (1) the Charges are therefore unlawful under the Headlee Amendment to the Michigan Constitution and (2) the Township is liable for a refund of the Charges under a theory of assumpsit. The Plaintiff seeks a judgment from the court against the Township that would order and direct the Township to refund all Charges to which plaintiff and the class are entitled and any other appropriate relief. The Township denies that the Charges are improper and therefore, denies the Plaintiff's claims and contends that it should prevail in the Lawsuit. This Notice is is for persons and entities that paid the Township for water and/or sanitary sewage disposal services between April 11, 2010, and May 31, 2017, who are members of a Class that has been agreed to by Plaintiff and the Townshiip and certified by the Court for settlement purposes, as all persons or entities who/which paid the Township for water and sewer service between April 11, 2010 and May 31, 2017 (the "Class"). This Agreement is intended to settle all of the claims of the Class. The Plaintiff and Township have agreed to, and the Court has granted preliminary approval of, a written Settlement Agreement, in which the Township expressly denies any and all allegations that it acted improperly, but, to avoid litigation uncertainty, risks, and costs, has agreed to create a Settlement Fund in the aggregate amount of One Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,400,000) for the benefit of the Class ("Settlement Amount"). The Settlement Agreement provides for distibution of the Settlement Amount that remains after payment of: (a) the attorneys' fees awarded to Class Counsel by the Court, not to exceed 33% of the Settlement Amount; (b) Class Counsel's expenses incurred in the litigation before the Settlement; (c) out-of-pocket expenses of the Claims-Escrow Administrator for the Settlement Fund; and (d) any incentive award made by the Court to the Plaintiff class representative in an amount not to exceed $10,000. That Net Settlement Fund shall be distributed to or for Class Members of Pro Rata Shares by cash payments or credits on the accounts for which payments were made. To qualify to receive a cash payment of a Pro Rata Share from the Net Settlement Fund, which is the only form of distribution to Class Members that are no longer on the water or sewer account for which payments were made, Class Members are required to submit sworn claims (the "Claims") which identify their names, addresses, and the periods of time in which they paid the Charges in order to participate in the Settlement. Claims must be submitted no later than August 14, 2017. Which is the only form of distribution to Class Members that are no longer on the water or sewer account for which payments were made. The Pro Rata Shares of Class Members that do not submit a timely claim will be used to fund and provide a Credit to be applied to future billings on each water and/or sewer service account for which there was no Claiming Class Member in the amount of those Class Members' Pro Rata Shares. For a more detailed statement of the matters involved in the Lawsuit, including the terms of the proposed Settlement, the process for submitting a Claim, your right to exclude yourself from the Settlement, and your right to object to the proposed Settlement, you are referred to papers on file in the Lawsuit, which may be inspected during regular business hours at the Office of the Clerk of Circuit Court for Oakland County, Michigan.
