<br />5. Section -(g) replace `return the right of way to its functional equivalence" to "same or better
<br />coind'ition". Add that their permit will be voided if the Mate or county need's to do the repairs irs and
<br />the provider faills to pay the assessed cost.
<br />6. Section 5- delete "(4) The State or county shall not require the placement of small
<br />broadband or wireless, fa,cili'ties on any specific utility pole or category of poles or reqlulire
<br />multiple antenna systems on, a single ultility pole";
<br />7. Section, 7.- There does not seem to be any definition of what would constitute adequate notice,
<br />and that should be clarified.
<br />8., Section 10
<br />d: Delete the bond limit of $2001 per small broadband' or, wireless f'aci�li�ty and the
<br />total bond limit of $10,0001 per county.
<br />9. Add language to assure that the installed cellular equipment wolnt degrade our
<br />infrastructure 1's, wind rating. If we're to, have equipment mounted on light and traffic pales, we
<br />would want assurance that the additional equipment wouldn't de -rate them.
<br />10., The 30 days to determine if the application, is complete and 90 days to grant/deny a
<br />completed appillication may be too short. Please specify that they refer to 30 and 90 working days
<br />rather than calendar days
<br />11. Section 91 Implementation creates, two concerns.
<br />First, if laws ust be adopted or modified"No later than January 1, 2019," does that mean that
<br />laws cannot be amended after that date? We certainly should not tie our hands in such a, way.
<br />Second, Section 9 provides that until such laws, regulations, or agreements, are adopted,
<br />broadband or wireless, providers may install and operate small' broadband or wireless facilities and utility
<br />poles pursuant to, this chapter." That would seem to give carte blanche to the providers to act
<br />precipitously before government can enact suitable standards. Such action should not be allowed.
<br />Better language might be:
<br />'lo later than 2019!, the, State and each county shall adopt or mod'ify laws,
<br />regulations,, and agreements for lands within its jurisdiction that make availab,le rates,
<br />Ease, and other terms, that comply with this chapter to wireless providers. After that 'date,
<br />in: the absence of'
<br />laws, regulations, and agreements that comply with this, chapter and
<br />until such laws,, regulations,, or agreements are adopted, wireless providers may, install
<br />and operate small wireless facilities and utility poles pursuant to this chapter.
<br />Thank you for your consideration.
