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.
