I oppose item 8 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 allows for towers and antennas in ALL zoning districts with NO permitting process and not enough requirements.
It gives totp power to Planning with no other agencies involved.
Please consider Council Member Evans proposed ordinance which has clear, attainable permit requirements. It is
the perfect balance between the health, safety and welfare needs of the people and the needs of the tech
industry.
