ATTACHMENT B <br />ordinance doesn't say it must be paid in dollars. It looks like the surrogate franchise fee because <br />of the use of Ciry Property and City Resources. It may be useful to have a clarification whether <br />this is simply a fee. <br />Richard Varnes states that one of the directions from the City Manager is to coordinate a <br />comprehensive look at telecommunications and come up with a proposal presenting to all <br />providers. We should view this as an interim step with consideration of costs, maintenance etc.. <br />And show the City Council that tangible public good comes out of this. The exaction could be <br />phones, other communication devices, or money. <br />Jeff Pond says they are willing to help provide wording. <br />Neil Weiser says what if they find only one viable site (on roof or on ground beside building )9 It <br />may fall under the non-residential growth management ordinance. Wants to know if there will be <br />a one- time exemption processed on a 1st come basis? <br />° Gary Kretschmer says that it depends on the size of the cabinet. Won't be subject to ordinance - <br />12 x 28 may be subject to our ordinance. <br />Neil also states that there is no impact on traffic. <br />Gary Kretschmer says that smaller structures won't fall under the ordinance <br />Gary Pultz says that they are concerned with #9 and #12 in the ordinance. We should be aware <br />that AT&T does have a program providing phones for non-profit corporations. It's part of their <br />marketing effort. Wants to know what our program with non -profits will be (should be part of <br />our application)? Will provide letter from attorney. <br />Alan Boles says that the FCC has some procedures to deal with localized interference with <br />antennas. <br />Vannes stated that the City could have useful role providing a means to make sure these issues get <br />resolved. <br />Richard Varnes says that the City has performed that function with cable television and has <br />procedures for that. <br />Alan Boles states that would be helpful <br />Gary Fultz says that they are extremely sensitive to interference and that the FCC doesn't want <br />providers to complain about each other. <br />Richard Vannes reminds everyone that the next meeting is on the 20th for Ist reading and there <br />will be no public comment On the 22nd it will go to the Planning Board. <br />• <br />• <br />• <br />
