Mr. Klein said, in response to Ms. Bettman, that legal counsel could craft language for such an ordinance <br />within 30 to 45 days. <br /> <br /> Ms. Bettman called for the vote on the amendment. The motion to amend passed, 5:3; Mr. <br /> Poling, Ms. Nathanson, and Ms. Solomon voting no. <br /> <br />Mr. Meisner asked staff to determine how many of the existing cell towers would not have been placed had <br />the proposed requirements already been passed. <br /> <br />Mr. Poling commented, regarding the third proposed amendment, that he would not tolerate any interference <br />with public safety employees' radios. He hoped that the legal challenges that had been raised would become <br />clearer in time. He thanked the CRPCPT for its information. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly voiced his support for the main motion. He recalled that in his ward several cell tower placements <br />had generated well over 100 citizen comments. He thought zoning did not adequately influence cell tower <br />siting as it was possible to live on land that was zoned R-1 that was immediately adjacent to land that was <br />zoned I on which a cell tower could more easily be placed. <br /> <br />Mr. Meisner recalled the amount of staff time and outside legal counsel required in the development of the <br />Telecommunications Ordinance and expressed hope that the City could approach cell tower citing much <br />more efficiently. <br /> <br />Mr. Taylor noted that the mobile data terminals in police cars ran on cell tower technology. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman supported the motion. <br /> <br /> The main motion passed unanimously, 8:0. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 1:24 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Dennis M.
