Reported below: ___ Mich App ___(Court of Appeals Docket Nos. 292122 and 292164).
Leave to Appeal Granted March 25, 2011.
The parties shall address (1) whether plaintiffs' claims are ripe for adjudication, and (2) whether Washtenaw Co Health Dep't v T M Chevrolet, Inc, 406 Mich 518 (1979), was correctly decided and, if so, whether it requires the defendant, city of Cadillac, to continue to allow the plaintiff townships to utilize the city's extended wastewater treatment facility for sewage transportation and treatment services beyond the May 12, 2017, termination dates of the 1977 and 1980 contracts between the city and Wexford County and. if so, the duration of that requirement. The Michigan Townships Association's motion for leave to file a brief amicus curiae is granted. Other persons or groups interested in the determination of the issues presented in this case may move the Court for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.
I concur in the order granting leave to appeal. However, I would welcome briefing and argument on all issues raised in this case.
