Elk Grove City Council Regular Meeting, August 28, 2019 Page7of14 With the aid of visual presentations (filed), Jonathan Hobbs, City Attorney, and Antonio Ablog, Planning Manager, provided an overview of the staff report and recommended actions. Staff responded to questions noting that load calculations on poles were required under the permit to display the facilities could be supported, and overall liability for damage caused by installed equipment would be the responsibility of the applicant. Mayor Ly declared the public hearing open. Matt Yergovich, project applicant, spoke in support of the staff recommendation. He noted AT&T reserved the right to contest the City code should it unlawfully inhibit future wireless deployment, but requested approval to move forward. Mr. Yergovich responded to questions noting structural analysis was part of the permit application process and any structural issues of a pole installation would be addressed, he noted the technologies under the proposal were for implementation of 4G networks, and he provided an overview of how equipment was installed on poles noting AT&T had no reported issues of collapsing poles or falling equipment after an installation. PUBLIC COMMENT Constance Conley inquired if any members of the City Council received financial contributions from AT&T, and raised concerns over such a complicated topic regarding Irene Ogbeiwe, Susan Mason, Leslie Haynes, Ron Kreig, Jeff Durbin, Robin Durston, Patti Lewkowitz, Eric Windheim, Pamela Marquez, Aaron McMahon, Noah Davidson, Sharon Lynes, Kim Glazzard, Nam, and Julie Ostoich spoke in opposition to the item, stating it should be denied or postponed to allow additional review. Speakers believed such wireless facilities created negative health impacts, wireless facilities should be placed far away from residences (including away from side yard setbacks), the antennas and equipment were unsightly and their proximity to a home reduced a home's value, the regulatory framework and enforcement of the FCC was compromised by the influence of private wireless carriers, the wireless coverage from such facilities was not needed (there was adequate connectivity already existing), the community was not fully aware and informed on the complex topic, this process should require environmental review, and concerns were raised about the extent of the deployment of facilities noting that any City fixed asset could be utilized for such facilities and could include equipment from multiple wireless carriers co-locating facilities. Speakers wanted assurances that there would be no negative health effects from these facilities and technologies, regulations related to such facilities should be more restrictive and use the regulations adopted by other cities, and aesthetics should be taken into Leila August spoke in opposition to the item presenting materials (filed) regarding the Elizabeth Russo spoke in opposition to the item presenting a video (filed) raising concern about the placement and location of such facilities, and that more time should displaced jobs and health effects of wireless networks. consideration to limit installation. adverse health effects from cell antennas and wireless radiation. be provided to consider the matter.

He believed the City Attorney was misinforming the City Council about what could be regulated by the City, and he believed additional Mark Edgar, Ernesto Espinoza, Christine Esguerra, and Edgar Calderon voiced support of the staff recommendation. Speakers questioned whether wireless technologies created negative health effects, they believed the intent of the proposal was for a 4G deployment but would also position the City to implement a 5G network, the license agreement would monetize fixed assets of the City to generate revenue, the facilities would improve coverage by reducing latency in reception and improve communication Allie Perez and Anthony Gilmore, employees with AT&T, voiced support of the staff recommendation, noting such wireless facilities would improve connectivity and capacity, that surrounding jurisdictions had all passed regulations and agreements for such facilities, and the proposed code and agreements had been thoroughly reviewed Mr. Gilmore noted 5G facilities were not intended for installation on poles for AT&T, that the radiation from small cell facilities was well below FCC safety levels, and increased deployment of small cell facilities would improve overall coverage in the region. Dante Williams, representing Verizon Wireless, believed the proposed policy was a compromise that would allow parties to move forward, and that increased wireless Matt Yergovich noted that the FCC had exclusive jurisdiction regarding health matters, and though he respected the health concerns raised by speakers, he encouraged individuals to further research the issues and approach appropriate jurisdictions regarding such health considerations. Mr. Yergovich noted the matter had been a process over a year's time to meet the FCC order requiring cities to create a code addressing small cell, and he believed the proposed code amendments and the Master License Agreement proposal allowed to process to move forward towards an initial, regulations based on aesthetics could be implemented. networks for first responders and the medical community. by the Planning Commission and City staff. coverage provided improved communication for first responders. wel-regulated deployment.
