The City Planner continued his presentation. In response to Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft's inquiry, the City Planner stated staff, AT&T and Barbara Lee's office held a helpful meeting last week to discuss ideas, including the pros, cons, and frustrations of issues; the City would like to have a little more control; AT&T was encouraging about the type of process and is doing it with other communities.

The City Planner responded in the affirmative; stated the Planning Board has approved alternatives to the box. In response to Mayor Spencer's inquiry, the City Planner stated Council can decide to have a box on both locations, one location, or none. In response to Mayor Spencer's inquiry, the City Planner stated the permit would go to the property and AT&T; the property owner has to disclose the cell tower to all tenants; basic safety information is imposed which will be used as a standard on all facilities. Councilmember Daysog stated providing notice to residents should be standard policy. Ken Mintz, AT&T, gave a Power Point presentation.
