To Whom it May Concern,
I oppose Item #4 because I support Council Member Cindy Evans' proposed
telecommunications ordinance, Bill 194, which had already been forwarded to you.
The new ordinance proposed by the Director is too sympathetic to the
telecommunications industry with not enough protections for our community.
It gives almost total power to Planning and Telecom with no other agencies or experts
involved! It rushes the approval process to only 30 days! It has no provisions to
protect us against 5G small cells! It freely allows towers at schools, playgrounds and
day care centers!
Please consider Council Member Evans proposed ordinance which has clear,
attainable requirements. It is the perfect balance between the health, safety and
welfare of the people and the needs of the tech industry.
Thank you,
Howard Leung
