City Council Regular Meeting Minutes April 9, 2019 Page 7 City Manager Casey presented the proposed creation of Chapter 98, Small Wireless Facilities 1 and changes to Chapter 96 Right-of-way Management, and Chapter 33, Licensure and Permit 2 Fees to ensure all chapters coincide. It was noted that first reading was conducted at the March 3 26, 2019 City Council meeting. He explained that the next few agenda items were all related and 4 suggested talking about them altogether and then working through the approvals individually. 5 He noted that the term “small cell” does not describe the size of the facility, but the area that is 6 covered. He stated that it is also known as 5G. He explained that this is a brand-new ordinance 7 but the right-of-way ordinance needs to be amended as well as the fee schedule for the 5G 8 contractors. Staff has not heard any comments from the first reading. He noted that there is a 9 new FCC ruling that takes effect on April 15, 2019, so staff is recommending that the City waive 10 the second reading and move to the third and final reading. 11 12 Motion by Councilmember Randle, seconded by Councilmember Gray, to waive the second 13 reading and approve the final reading and adopt Ordinance 2019-03; an Ordinance to Enact a 14 New Chapter 98 of the Code of Ordinances Relating to Small Wireless Facilities, Establishing 15 General Standards, a Permitting Process, General Permitting Conditions, and Other 16 Requirements. 17 18 Motion carried 5-0. 19 20 G.
