IF ANYBODY WANTS TO LEAVE AFTER THEIR CONSENT, YOU ARE WELCOME TO LEAVE. ALL RIGHT. REGULAR AGENDA ITEM NUMBER ONE, WIRELESS COMMUNICATION TOWER, BRENTWOOD POLICE HEADQUARTERS, 9 1 0 HERITAGE WAY. GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. UM, SO THE, THE ONLY ITEM ON THE REGULAR AGENDA THIS EVENING IS A NEW WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS TOWER. UH, THE APPLICANT IS VOGUE TOWERS AND THEY'RE REQUESTING, UM, A MULTI PROVIDER 130 FOOT MONOPOLE WITH AN FENCE COMPOUND AREA LOCATED AT POLICE HEADQUARTERS 9 0 1 HERITAGE WAY. UM, THE PROPOSED, AH, UH, THIS IS THE PROPOSED AREA. COULD YOU GO BACK TO THE SITE PLAN THAT SHOWS THE BUILDING OR AN AERIAL VIEW THERE? SO HERE'S POLICE HEADQUARTERS. HERE'S HERITAGE WAY, THE CUL-DE-SAC. UM, THIS IS THE HERITAGE, UH, DEVELOPMENT UP HERE, POLICE HEADQUARTERS. UM, THIS IS THE PROPOSED LOCATION OF THE NEW TOWER 130 FOOT TOWER. UM, IT'S GONNA BE WITHIN A 2,500, UH, SQUARE FOOT COMPOUND AREA. IT'LL HAVE A BRICK FENCE. UM, THE TOWER IS, IS GONNA BE DESIGNED TO, UM, HOUSE MULTIPLE, UH, CARRIERS, AT AND T, VERIZON, UH, POTENTIALLY MAYBE T-MOBILE. UM, THE NEW MONOPOLE, UH, MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 78 DASH 5 36, UM, OF OUR PWSF, UH, CELLULAR ORDINANCE. UH, AS YOU MAY REMEMBER, IN FEBRUARY OR MARCH OF THIS YEAR, WE MADE A REVISION TO THAT, THAT ORDINANCE TO INCORPORATE, UH, THE ALLOWANCE OF A TIER FOUR DESIGNATION, WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR TOWERS UP TO 160 FEET IN HEIGHT LOCATED ON GOVERNMENT OR QUASI GOVERNMENT PROPERTY. UM, WITH THOSE BEING DISGUISED IN SOME WAY AS APPROVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION. UM, THIS PROPOSAL MEETS ALL OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS. UM, THEY ALSO HAVE TO SHOW A NEED. THE APPLICANT SUBMITTED A COUPLE OF PROPAGATION STUDIES, UH, SHOWING EXISTING CELL COVERAGE AND THEN PROPOSED WITH THE NEW TOWER. UH, IT DID SHOW AN IMPROVEMENT THAT THOSE STUDIES WERE REVIEWED [00:05:01] BY A THIRD PARTY CONSULTANT, WATERFORD CONSULTANTS, UM, AND, AND THEY AGREE THAT IT IS AN IMPROVEMENT. UM, THE PROPOSAL ALSO INCLUDES, UH, A DISGUISE TECHNIQUE. THEY'RE PROPOSING A FAUX PINE TREE, AND WE HAVE SOME PERSPECTIVE VIEWS OF, OF, OF THAT, UH, PROPOSAL. UM, IN ADDITION, UM, WE NOTIFIED THE APPLICANT NOTIFIED ALL RESIDENTS WITHIN A THOUSAND FOOT RADIUS, WHICH IS A REQUIREMENT OF THE ORDINANCE. AND, UM, WITH THAT WE HAVE SEVEN CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL AND WE'RE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL SUBJECT TO THE STAFF NOTES. OKAY, THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE AN APPLICANT? GOOD EVENING. MY NAME'S MICHAEL FER. I ACT AS PROJECT MANAGER FOR VOGUE TOWERS. AND, UH, HAPPY TO BE HERE AND EXPLAIN A LITTLE MORE ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING AND WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING HERE. UH, IF I COULD JUST GIVE A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THIS. UM, AS STAFF HAS SAID, WE'RE PROPOSING 130 FOOT MONO PINE AT THE BACK OF THE POLICE STATION. ONE ISSUE, UH, IT'S NOT QUITE 2,500 SQUARE FEET, THAT WAS MY FAULT. TYPO. I'M SO USED TO OUR STANDARD SIZE. THIS IS A LITTLE BIT SMALLER. THE LEASE AREA HERE IS 1,760. IT'S A 40 BY 44, SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT SMALLER THAN OUR NORM. UM, THE VOGUE TOWERS IS A, WHAT WE CALL A MULTI, UM, CARRIER PROPERTY. THEY'RE BASICALLY A PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY. THEY DEVELOP SITES FOR ALL CARRIERS. UH, IN THE CASE OF THIS ONE, THIS WAS A SPECIFIC NEED IN THE START OF THIS PROJECT FOR VERIZON WIRELESS. SO IT IS, UM, THEY ARE CO-APPLICANT AND IT'S WHAT IN THE INDUSTRY THEY CALL BUILD A SUIT WITH VERIZON WIRELESS. BUT AT AND T HAS ALREADY ALSO COMMITTED. SO THIS TOWER PROJECT, SHOULD IT BE APPROVED, WILL BE BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP WITH TWO, TWO CARRIERS FROM THE GET GO. UH, THE, UH, VOGUE TOWERS MAKE SPACE AVAILABLE FOR, UH, FIRST RESPONDERS, FIRST RESPONDERS, AND LOCAL EMA, UH, ON ALL THEIR SITES. SO IF THERE'S A NEED HERE FROM THE POLICE, FIRE, ET CETERA, UH, THEY'RE ALWAYS OPEN TO THAT. UH, AND THE FACILITY ONCE CONSTRUCTED IS AN UNMANNED FACILITY, MEANING THERE'S, THERE'S NO ONE THERE. IT'S ALL ELECTRONICS. UH, TECHNICIANS TYPICALLY VISIT ABOUT ONCE EVERY FOUR TO SIX WEEKS TO CHECK ON IT, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, IT'S ALL DONE REMOTELY. THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT OF ANYTHING. NOW, UM, REAL QUICK, IF I COULD JUST SHARE SOME STATISTICS OF USAGE IN AMERICA. UH, IT GOES TO SHOW SOME OF THE NEED FOR MORE AND MORE SITES, UH, IN ORDER TO KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND. UM, AMERICANS USED 132 TRILLION MEGABYTES OF DATA IN 2024, WHICH WAS A 32% JUMP FROM 2023, WHICH WAS ALREADY A 36% JUMP FROM 2022 AND MORE THAN 2010 THROUGH 2018 COMBINED. UH, THE GROWTH FROM 2022 TO 2024 WAS IN THE MID 30% ANNUALLY. UH, AND I, AFTER I PUT THIS TOGETHER, I JUST GOT THE REPORT FOR 2025 AND IT GREW AT ABOUT 20%. SO STILL OUTSTANDING NUMBERS FOR A 30-YEAR-OLD INDUSTRY. UH, THERE WERE 2.2 TRILLION, ESSENTIALLY TEXT MESSAGES, SHORT MESSAGE, UH, OR 69,000 PER SECOND. UH, IN THE US UH, THERE'S 2.4 TRILLION MINUTES OF VOICE, UH, IN 2024, ENOUGH TO WATCH EVERY SINGLE MOVIE AND TV SHOW IN THE MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE. MORE THAN 264 MILLION TIMES THERE ARE 579 WIRELESS CONNECTIONS IN THE US OR WHAT'S 1.7 FOR EVERY AMERICAN. UH, AND THE NEW REPORT, IT GOES UP TO 1.8. UM, A LOT OF THAT IS DRIVEN BY WEARABLES AND VARIOUS THINGS. IT'S MORE THAN JUST PHONES. YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING'S USING DATA NOWADAYS, UM, OVER 80% OF 9 1 1 CALLS ORIGINATE FROM A WIRELESS DEVICE. UH, AND EIGHT OUT OF 10 HOUSEHOLDS ARE NOW WIRELESS ONLY. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE YOUNGER GENERATIONS, IT'S CLOSER TO NINE OUT OF 10. UM, THE REASON FOR SHARING SOME BORING STATS IS, UH, I KNOW THIS BODY WORKED WITH, UH, THE ADMINISTRATION TO RECOGNIZE THE NEED AND, AND ALTERED SOME OF THE ORDINANCE EARLIER THIS YEAR OVER THE WINTER. UM, AND THIS IS THE REASON WHY AS FASTEST CARRIERS CAN BUILD, THEY STILL CAN'T KEEP UP WITH THE GROWTH THE WAY PEOPLE ARE USING WIRELESS DEVICES THIS DAY AND TIME. IT'S, THEY'RE EVERYTHING A COMPUTER, UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S MORE THAN JUST A TELEPHONE FROM YEARS AGO. UM, THE 130 FOOT MONO POLE, UH, WHEN WE FIRST MET WITH THE POLICE CHIEF, IT WILL BE ENCLOSED. WE ARE PROPOSING A BRICK, UH, FACADE FOR THE EXTERIOR FENCE TO AS CLOSELY AS POSSIBLE MATCH THE BRICK FROM THE BUILDINGS ON THE PROPERTY THERE. UM, THE IT SITE MEETS ALL THE TOWER AND BUILDING SETBACKS. UH, [00:10:01] IT HAS ALL F-A-A-F-C-C AND NEPA COMPLIANCE. EVERYTHING IS DONE FROM A DUE DILIGENCE STANDPOINT. UH, THE SITE INCORPORATED WHAT WE CALL AN ENGINEERED FALL ZONE, WHICH SIMPLY MEANS THAT THE TOP PORTION OF THE TOWER WILL COLLAPSE OVER ON UPON ITSELF IN THE EVENT OF A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. UM, IF YOU CAN IMAGINE THE CONCEPT FOR A MONOPOLE DOING THAT IS VERY SIMILAR TO THEIR GOLF CLUB SHAFT OR AN UMBRELLA SHAFT ONCE IT GETS THAT KINK AND IT'S JUST GONE. UM, AND SO THAT'S FROM A VISUAL STANDPOINT, THAT'S VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT THEY DO. THEY DO IT ESSENTIALLY BY OVERDESIGNING THE BOTTOM UP TO WHATEVER POINT YOU NEED, WHETHER IT'S A 50%, 40%, WHATEVER THE NUMBER IS. UM, THE SITE, AGAIN, IS BUILT FOR CO-LOCATION, UH, AS MUCH SPACE, UH, THAT CAN BE USED. UH, AGAIN, VERIZON AT AND T WILL BE STARTING OFF THERE. VERIZON WAS TECHNICALLY A COKE APPLICANT HERE AS THE BUILDER SUIT. AT AND T WOULD COME THROUGH THE CITY'S PROCESS AS A CO-LOCATION AND THEIR OWN BUILDING PERMIT, BUT THEY'VE ALREADY COMMITTED. AND THE SECOND PROP MAPS WERE THE AT AND T ONES, UH, THAT HAD BETTER COLOR, MORE COLOR TO IT. UM, AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. UH, THEY ALREADY SHOWED SOME OF THE, UM, THE VANTAGE POINTS OF SHOWING WHAT THE TREE WOULD LOOK LIKE. UH, AT 130 FEET. IT'S NOT SO BAD. THESE GENERALLY DO STEALTH, UM, POLES LIKE THIS GENERALLY DO BETTER WHERE THEY HAVE A GOOD BACKGROUND. I DID ONE IN GATLINBURG YEAR BEFORE LAST, AND IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE LOOKING AT IT, YOU COULDN'T, YOU MOST LIKELY COULD NOT FIND IT FROM DOWNTOWN BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE HILLS AND TREES BACKGROUND. BUT BECAUSE THIS IS SHORTER, IT REALLY IS NOT SO BAD. UH, THERE WAS ONE VANTAGE POINT. IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE, UM, THERE WAS, IS THAT ALL THE ONES YOU HAVE ON THE, THERE WAS ONE FROM THE, KIND OF THE ENTRANCE OF THE POLICE STATION. I I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAD THAT ONE. UH, UM, BUT BASED ON THE HEIGHT HERE OF NOT TRYING TO PROPOSE 160 FOOT TREE, YOU KNOW, UH, AT 130 FEET, IT'S REALLY NOT TOO MUCH TALLER THAN, UH, SURROUNDING TREES. SO IT REALLY IS NOT A, A BAD SITE. UH, AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE REGARDING IT. OKAY. THANK YOU. WE'LL START DOWN WITH COMMISSIONER LONGEN. COMMISSIONER TRAVIS, YOU SAID YOU GOT TWO CARRIERS RIGHT NOW? YES. YOU COULD ADD MORE CARRIERS IF, IF, IF T-MOBILE CALLED AND ONE TO BE ON THE YES, ABSOLUTELY. OKAY. UH, WE TYPICALLY WILL DESIGN THE POLLS TO HOLD FOUR FOUR. OKAY. UM, THAT WAS, AND IF YOU'VE DRIVEN DOWN THE STREET OR EVEN, UH, WHERE OLD HICKORY CROSS IS OVER, YOU SEE THOSE, THE POLES HAD BEEN, I THINK AT THE MINI STORAGE FACILITY FOREVER, EVER. UM, YOU SEE THOSE DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF ANTENNAS, THOSE ARE THE DIFFERENT, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, THE DIFFERENT, WHAT WE CALL CENTER LINES. UH, WE TYPICALLY DESIGN THE POLES FOR FOUR. UH, THE ISSUE HERE GOING BEYOND T-MOBILE WILL JUST BE A LITERALLY A CHALLENGE OF GROUND SPACE. SO IF PERHAPS IF T-MOBILE CAME, THEN SOMEONE ELSE, YOU KNOW, SOME WIRELESS BROADBAND OR SOMETHING ELSE, YOU KNOW, THERE MIGHT NEED BE A NEED IN A FUTURE DATE TO COME BACK TO TALK ABOUT GROUND SPACE. BUT WE ALWAYS DESIGN 'EM FOR CO-LOCATION. YES. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER. MAY NO QUESTIONS. I KNOW IT WAS COVERED IN THE BRIEFING. I DON'T THINK I HEARD IT TONIGHT. JUST TO CONFIRM, THIS IS NOT TALL ENOUGH THAT IT NEEDS ANY LIGHTING YET? NOT CORRECT. NO. CORRECT. WE ALREADY HAVE THE FA DETERMINATION BACK AND THERE'S NO LIGHTING CAMERAS TO THE BRISTLES FOR MAKING IT LOOK LIKE A TREE. DO THOSE LAST A LONG TIME OR DO THEY HAVE TO BE REPLACED OVER TIME? THEY'RE MUCH BETTER THAN THEY USED TO BE. UH, IF YOU'VE, I'M TRYING TO THINK OF A PINE TREE AROUND HERE THAT'S GOING DOWN. THEY KIND OF START LOOKING LIKE A BOTTLE SCRUBBER. YEAH. DOES THE, THE NEEDLES DO JUST DECAY OVER TIME. THEY'RE MUCH BETTER THAN THEY USED TO BE, BUT I CAN'T SIT, SIT HERE AND TELL YOU THAT THEY'RE A FOREVER ITEM. UH, YOU KNOW, THEY MIGHT HAVE TO CHANGE OUT BRANCHES IN 15 OR 20 YEARS FROM NOW. YES. BUT YOU CAN CHANGE OUT BRANCHES. YES. THEY ARE NOT, UM, SO THEY ARE ACTUALLY BOLTED TO THE POLE. THEY'RE NOT PART OF THE FABRICATED PULL ITSELF. OKAY. AND SO, UH, WHEN CARRIERS COME ON, THEY CAN REMOVE A SECTION OF THE BRANCHES TO PUT THEIR ANTENNAS AND THEN THEY PUT, UM, FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM, A SOCK OVER THEIR ANTENNAS. OKAY. THAT JUST ESSENTIALLY TURNS, YOU KNOW, HIDES. IT'S LIKE PUTTING A GREEN SOCK OVER A SOMETHING WHITE JUST TO MAKE IT BLEND IN. UH, AND THEN THEY'LL PUT BACK ON AS MANY BRANCHES AS THEY CAN TO KIND OF COVER UP WHAT THEY CAN. BUT, UH, THE BRANCHES CAN BE REMOVED AND THEY CAN BE REPLACED. THANK YOU. PERFECT. THANK YOU. MM-HMM . DO WE HAVE ANY CITIZENS' COMMENTS? I HAVE QUESTIONS. UM, PLEASE COME UP TO THE MICROPHONE AND STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS. UM, DANIELLE LOGAN, 82 0 2 SPRING VALLEY DRIVE. DO YOU MIND PULL THAT MICROPHONE? WE'RE, UM, WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET, WE GOT THE LETTER. MY CONCERNS ARE THE RADIO TOWERS ON ONE SIDE, AND THEN YOU'RE GONNA PUT ANOTHER TOWER ON THE OTHER SIDE AND JUST WE'RE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT RADIO FREQUENCY. LIKE WHAT DOES THAT [00:15:01] DO FOR THE RESIDENTS HEALTH WISE IN THE FUTURE? WELL, I MEAN, THE CITY CAN'T CONSIDER RF, UH, BECAUSE OF THE FEDERAL, WHAT WAS IT? THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS ACT IN 96? MM-HMM . UM, THE CITY CAN'T MAKE DETERMINATIONS AS LONG AS THEY COMPLY WITH FCC REQUIREMENTS, WHICH THEY ARE. OKAY. OR WILL BE. AND THEN IF YOU APPROVE THIS, LIKE HOW MUCH TIME DO WE HAVE BEFORE, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HAS NOTIFIED THE PUBLIC, I GUESS. UM, THIS IS A PUBLIC MEETING, SO I GUESS SO. I MEAN, BUT WE GOT THIS LETTER. I DON'T KNOW IF THE REST OF, I MEAN, I THINK THIS IS THE, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT I THINK THIS IS THE DETERMINING BODY. OKAY. SO THERE'S NO, YEAH, THE NOTIFICATION. WE'VE HAD THIS ON THE AGENDA FOR TWO WEEKS. CORRECT. THE NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENT PER THE ORDINANCE IS, UH, CERTIFIED MAIL NOTIFICATION FOR RESIDENCE WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET. AND THEN WE HAVE OUR GENERAL NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS, WHICH WE PUT AN AD IN THE PAPER AND THE INFORMATION'S ON OUR WEBSITE. SO THAT'S HOW WE NOTIFY THE GENERAL PUBLIC ABOUT THE PUBLIC MEETING. OKAY. I MEAN, I'M JUST CONCERNED ABOUT RESALE VALUE ALSO. UM, AND THEN I ALSO READ THAT SOMETIMES THESE CAN HAVE GASOLINE OR DIESELS STORED AT THE BASE OF THE TOWERS. DO YOU WANNA SPEAK TO GASOLINE OR DIESEL STORAGE? SO FROM A, WHAT THEY CALL A HARDENING, UH, VERIZON DOES DEPLOY GENERATORS AT SOME OF THEIR SITES, NOT ALL SITES. THEY BASICALLY LOOK AT IT ON A COUNTYWIDE BASIS. SO WE DESIGNED SITES TO INCORPORATE, IS IT OKAY IF I WALK OVER THERE? YEAH, NO. OR YOU CAN USE IT. OH, I'LL NEVER, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T TALK FROM MY, HERE. THIS RIGHT HERE IS SHOWING THE GENERATOR. SO IN OUR DESIGN WE SHOW A GENERATOR ON ALL, UH, SITE DEVELOPMENT WHERE THEY MAKE SURE THEY GET ENOUGH GROUND SPACE, UH, FOR THEIR FULL DEPLOYMENT. BUT THEY HAVE A BASICALLY A, A CHART, A COUNTYWIDE DETERMINATION BASED ON HARDENING BASED ON, UH, LIKE, UH, EMERGENCY SITUATIONS OF WHICH SITES WOULD ACTUALLY NEED BACKUP POWER. UH, THEY ALSO LOOK AT IT FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL STANDPOINT. SO THEIR PREFERENCE WOULD BE A DIESEL. AND BASED ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW, UH, THEY WILL MAKE A CHANGE TO, UH, A PROPANE, UM, OR A NATURAL GAS. IF THERE'S ANYTHING LIKE, UH, DRAINAGE, DITCHES, WATER, ANYTHING WITHIN A NEAR PROXIMITY, THEY'LL MAKE A CHANGE AS FAR AS THE FUEL TYPE. UM, WHEN THEY SHOW 'EM, IT'S NOT A GIVEN THAT ACTUALLY ONE WILL EVEN BE USED THERE, BUT IT'S ONLY USED, UM, FOR EMERGENCY PURPOSES. SO TO THE RESIDENTS QUESTION, WE DON'T KNOW IF THERE WILL BE GAS OR DIESEL STORED THERE FOR THE BACKUP GENERATOR. IT COULD BE BE NATURAL GAS, BUT IN THE PROJECT SCOPE IS WHETHER IT'LL MAKE THAT DETERMINATION. CORRECT. AND I WOULD SAY THERE'S A 50 50 SHOT THAT THERE WOULD BE A GENERATOR PLACED THERE, BUT I, I CAN'T TELL YOU FOR SURE YET. SO WE DO HAVE A CREEK THAT RUNS BEHIND OUR HOUSES. IF IT WAS, UH, SORRY IF, IF THERE WAS ANY WATERLINE, UH, CREEKS, UH, DRAIN SYSTEM, ANYTHING IN THE PROXIMITY, THEY WILL, UH, VERIZON WILL AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE THE, UH, GENERATOR TYPE, UM, TO WHAT THEY, THEY HAVE A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT SCENARIOS BASED ON WHAT THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS COME BACK AS. AND SO IT CAN GO FROM DIESEL, LIKE I SAID, IT COULD GO PROPANE, UH, IT CAN BE NATURAL GAS OR THEY'LL JUST ELIMINATE IT AT THIS PARTICULAR SITE IF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS ARE THERE. THIS IS A FOLLOW UP FOR THIS QUESTION. OKAY. WHEN YOU ASK ABOUT THE SAFETY, THIS CAME UP LAST TIME WE APPROVED A TOWER, AND I'M JUST SPEAKING HERE JUST FOR MYSELF, BUT WE ASKED, IS THIS SAFE OR NOT? AND THEN WE WERE TOLD WE CAN'T ASK IF IT'S SAFE OR NOT. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SAYS THAT THE INFORMATION IS PRESENTED AND THAT'S IT. SOMEBODY ELSE COMES IN AND SAYS THEY WANNA DO SOMETHING, WE CAN SAY, PROVE IT. WE CAN'T SAY THAT WITH THIS, BUT WE HAVE, THIS HAS BEEN RAISED AND I THINK THERE'S INFORMATION THAT'S OUT THERE. WE JUST, WE CAN'T ASK THAT QUESTION. OKAY. NO, NO. NONE OF US. SO DO YOU HAVE ANY, ANY CONDITIONAL, I JUST WANNA GO TOO, LIKE ARE WE GUARANTEED TO HAVE BETTER SERVICE RIGHT NOW? WE CAN'T EVEN BE, SOME DAYS WE CAN'T EVEN MAKE CALLS. I THINK IT'S TO GUARANTEE WOULD BE AGGRESSIVE. UM, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT I GUESS IF YOU GUYS ARE RIGHT AROUND HERE, CORRECT. WE'RE RIGHT NEXT TO THE TOWER. SO RIGHT NOW IT'S IN YELLOW. I MEAN JUST PER THE MAP, THIS AREA IS ONLY IN VEHICLE SERVICE AND IF IT GOES GREEN, THAT BECOMES IN BUILDINGS. SO PER THE MAP, EVERYONE IN THIS AREA WOULD NOW HAVE BETTER SERVICE. I MEAN, AGAIN, DON'T THINK [00:20:01] YOU CAN GUARANTEE BETTER SERVICE ASSUMING THEY'RE WITH THOSE TWO PROVIDERS. YES. IF YOU'RE WITH VERIZON OR AT AND T, CORRECT. MM-HMM . GOOD POINT. THERE'S SOMETHING IN THERE THAT'S BLOCKING. YEAH, WE CAN'T EVEN SIT HOUSE AND TALK ON THE PHONE TO THE PREVIOUS MAP. CAN WE GO BACK TO THAT ONE? I MEAN, IT KIND OF, YOU KNOW, IF YOU LOOK AT IT, IT SAYS IN BUILDING AND ALL THIS IS IN YELLOW. CORRECT. WHICH MEANS ONLY IN BUILDING IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF SERVICE, WHICH IS GREEN. I'M NOT CORRECT. I FEEL LIKE A CELL PHONE EXPERT RIGHT NOW, BUT I DON'T CLAIM TO BE, BUT I GUESS IT, YOU KNOW, IF THIS IS ALL GOING GREEN, WHICH IS THEIR HIGHEST LEVEL YES. VERSUS IS HOW IT IS NOW, THEN EVERYONE HERE THEORETICALLY SHOULD HAVE MUCH BETTER SERVICE. YES. AND I, AND I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU, I DON'T KNOW, KNOW THAT YOU CAN MAKE A 100% GUARANTEE, BUT THE MODELING OF WHAT IT DOES IN EACH CARRIER'S MAPPING, WHAT IT SHOWS IS THAT THE IMPROVE, THE COVERAGE WILL IMPROVE DRASTICALLY, UH, IN THAT AREA. AND THEY USE THOSE DIFFERENT, RATHER THAN TRYING TO LIST OUT DB LEVELS, THEY BASICALLY SUMMARIZE IT AS IN BUILDING MEANING AFTER THIS IS UP AND RUNNING, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE A GOOD CLEAN CALL WITHIN YOUR HOUSE WITHOUT HAVING TO GO OUTSIDE THE WALLS. UM, WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL SAY, I HAVE NO COVERAGE. I HAVE TO STAND ON MY FRONT PORCH TO MAKE A PHONE CALL. MM-HMM. YEAH. AND THAT'S KIND OF THE DIFFERENCES HERE. UM, SO IF YOU ARE IN THE, THE GREEN OR AT AND TI THINK, I CAN'T REMEMBER IF IT'S BLUE OR RED, BUT, UM, YOU SHOULD HAVE MUCH, MUCH BETTER SERVICE THAN YOU HAVE TODAY. UM, YOU MENTIONED VERIZON WAS A CO-APPLICANT. DOES THAT MEAN THEY'RE NOT ANYMORE EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE INCLUDED? UH, NO. THEY ARE, THEY ARE. I'M SORRY IF I SAID WAS YEAH, I FEEL LIKE IT WAS PAST TENSE. SORRY ABOUT THAT. YEAH, THEY ARE. OKAY. I I WAS JUST GONNA SAY, ADDING CELL TOWERS IS, WE'VE HEARD FROM RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES LIKE YOU THAT THEY'RE, THE CELL COVERAGE IS SPOTTY, CAN'T DO BUSINESS FROM HOME. AND SO WE'RE LOOKING TO HAVE MORE TOWERS, INAPPROPRIATE PLACES BASED ON THE PARAMETERS AND THE CONDITIONS THAT THE VERIZON, THE AT AND T, THE COVERAGE. SO IT IS MORE, UM, COMPLETE COVERAGE SO PEOPLE CAN ACCESS, I I TOO HAVE SPOTTY COVERAGE AT MY HOUSE. SO WE'RE HOPING THAT VENDORS LIKE THIS COME FORWARD AND THEN MORE, UM, APPLICANTS CAN BE ON IT SO THAT THEY MEET OUR NEEDS. DANIEL, DO YOU HAVE ANY MORE? NO, UH, THANK YOU. OKAY. I NEED A MOTION. MOTION TO APPROVE. MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND. UM, DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION? START DOWN HERE. COMMISSIONER STADNIK, UH, ALL QUESTIONS. I THINK WERE ANSWERED. I APPRECIATE YOUR, YOUR TIME. THANKS COMMISSIONER OLIVER. I SAID GOOD QUESTIONS. I DROVE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD TODAY. DROVE AROUND THERE. IT'S MY NEIGHBORHOOD. I DON'T WANNA SELL TOWER, BUT I WANT COVERAGE. SO IT'S THAT, THAT TRADE OFF. SO I THINK, I THINK YOU HAVE GREAT QUESTIONS, BUT QUESTION BACK, NO QUESTIONS. JUST FROM A CITY COMMISSION STANDPOINT TOO, WHEN WE HAD THE ICE STORM, ALL THOSE PEOPLE COULDN'T MAKE PHONE CALLS ON HOW DETRIMENTAL THAT WAS AND HOW MANY PEOPLE COULDN'T CALL ANY KIND OF SERVICE. AND I JUST SEE IT OVER ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE AND IT MAKES SUCH A HUGE DIFFERENCE. I THINK THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT TOWER TO APPROVE AND I'D LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU. WE APPRECIATE YOU GUYS COMING. WE APPRECIATE CITIZENS BEING INVOLVED IN JUST, YOU KNOW, SEEING HOW THIS WORKS AND HOW CITY GOVERNMENT OPERATES. SO THANK YOU. ALRIGHT. WHAT DID WE ACTUALLY VOTE? I HAVEN'T CALLED IT TO A VOTE YET. I'M ABOUT TO THERE. THANK YOU . ALL THOSE FOUR SAY AYE. AYE. AYE. ANY AGAINST CARRIES? SEVEN. NOTHING. THANK YOU. [1. Monthly Security Report - September 2026] ALL RIGHT, NOW LET'S GO INTO THE MONTHLY SECURITY REPORT. JACKSON BET. WE'RE GONNA ACCEPT IT. ALL RIGHT. UH, FOR THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER, UM, WE HAD AN INCREASE OF $86,158 FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF $19,276,063 AND 22 CENTS. AND WE ASK THAT YOU APPROVE THE SECURITY REPORT AS PUBLISHED IN YOUR PACKET. DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE? MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND. ALL THOSE FOUR A AYE. ANY AGAINST FOR THE 20000TH STRAIGHT WEEK. YOUR SECURITY REPORT PASSES [2.

CHRISTIAN THERE OR SOMETHING? WELL, YEAH. ALRIGHT. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER TRAVIS. COMMISSIONER STADNIK. [00:25:01] UH, I WANTED TO THANK, UM, WE DID AN INVASIVE REMOVAL AT CROCKETT PARK, REMOVED HONEYSUCKLE AND PRITT. WE HAD THE JUST SERVE COMMITTEE FROM RAVENWOOD HIGH SCHOOL. TWO PEOPLE CAME AND A COUPLE, UM, ATTENDED WITH MYSELF AND WE REMOVED AND HAD FIVE HUGE PILES, UM, ALONG THE CREEK. AND SO WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO DO INVASIVE REMOVALS. UM, OVER TIME WE HAVE BRENTWOOD HIGH SCHEDULED TO DO A GROUP IN NOVEMBER AND SO I WANNA THANK THEM FOR PARTICIPATING. UM, AND THEN THE TREE BOARD, WE HAD A SPEAKER COME AND DO A TREE IDENTIFICATION CLASS AT DEERWOOD ON SUNDAY. HIS NAME IS DAN DEO AND IT WAS FABULOUS.
