YOUNG:Did I answer your question? Im sorry. Did I answer your question? ALAMEDA:I missed the last sentence, thatyour company has approved that, did you say? YOUNG:No. Cingular Wireless, another wireless company, has already sent us a letter expressing interest in co-locating on the proposed Verizon tower if it is approved. They would like to locate their antennas below ours at the Orchidland site, at our proposed site. SIRACUSA:And your companys response? YOUNG:Right now weve told them that once we, and hopefully, we receive approval that we would then negotiate with them for them being placed on ourtower. Co- location amongst wireless carriers is very, very common. Its encouraged by many of the counties,andalsoitsencouragedbyourselvesbecauseithelpstodefraycosts. ALAMEDA:Thankyou,Mr.Young,foransweringthatquestion.Commissioner Siracusa, follow-up? SIRACUSA:Yes. I wanted to comment that it would also not only defray cost but defray the construction of a lot more poles. And so Condition No. 3, Id like to change that a little bit if I may. ALAMEDA:Go ahead. SIRACUSA:It says Co-location or any expansion on the tower and the antennae shall be allowed within the parameters of the buildingheight and envelope as represented. I would like to change that to shall be encouraged to be allowed, so that its clear that we are looking to avoid a plethora of these poles. ALAMEDA:Okay. Well, let me check -. Ms. Todd has her hand up. Go ahead. LEITHEAD-TODD:I just had a question -. ALAMEDA:Sure. LEITHEAD-TODD:In whether we were still in discussion and oral argument or whether we were in decision making? ALAMEDA:Yeah, right now were still getting clarification for the Commissioners benefit in order to make a decision whether or not to accept the Hearing Officers report or to move forward. LEITHEAD-TODD:Cause I did have comments about the Hearings Officers report that I wanted to make before you went into decision-making. 10EXHIBIT B
