WOODWARD: Okay. HAYASHI: I think there is a difference. Isn’t there, isn’t it? OLIVEIRA: Yes. HAYASHI: So if Mr. Domingo’s motion carries, is approved, without the cellular tower they can still do the radio tower. DOMINGO: Okay, okay, with the omission of the radio tower, because I understand the radio tower will be nearly 100 feet high. WOODWARD: All right. So you’re saying that that should come under another special permit? DOMINGO: Yeah, well, you know -. Mr. Chairman, just somewhat like an informational discussion -. It will give, it will give the Department a go-ahead to do whatever they need to do with regards to planning. There’d be no stopping this until the issue is resolved by the community, because that portion of the application has been approved. The issue of the radio tower which seems to be the issue today with the residents will be discussed with the Department. Now as I look at it and as indicated by the Chief, it can be located in different areas on the premise, and I think even to the extent that probably you can locate that radio tower away from the property by itself. BRILHANTE: May we respond to that premise. Unfortunately, I believe, information provided to us by the consultant is that the radio tower cannot be further than 75 feet away from the primary structure. That affords various opportunities on the property as it stands. But I think first and foremost, you know, the primary necessity and the primary need for this facility is that it affords the Fire Department the ability to upgrade and to consolidate its various functions that they have. And part and parcel to that, and maybe in the forefront, is the opportunity to relocate the dispatch center; and that radio tower is primary to the dispatch center. And the fire administration, proposed fire administration building is secondary to that, although it is important. But it is secondary and it comes with the consolidation efforts. WOODWARD: All right. DOMINGO: So, what we, Chief, as far as the location of the various functions of the Department, then it’s certain that all functions will be centered in that particular area? OLIVEIRA: Correct. Our goal is to have all the functions consolidated on one site. DOMINGO: I see. Okay. So that means that if they go there then the radio tower will have to be there also, but a different part of the premises. 26 EXHIBIT A
