Aloha,
I oppose Item #4. 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 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!
NO towers at schools 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 needs of the people and the needs of the tech industry.
