ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANTED TO MENTION THIS, UH, OR THIS PRESENTATION IS ONE OF THE HUGE CONCERNS THAT WE HAD EARLY ON, NOT JUST WITH CHANDRA ABOUT MUNICIPALITIES ACROSS THE REGION WAS THE FACT THAT THE CENTER FESTIVAL IS GOING TO BE ONLINE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY.

COUNSEL, AT

[7. Diversity and Inclusion Survey Results - Human Relations Commission]

SO WELCOME THE UNITY PROCLAMATION WAS ISSUED IN JUNE, AND IT WAS A RESPONSE TO NATIONAL UNREST DUE TO EVENTS HAPPENING IN OTHER STATES.

AND WE USE THIS IN CHANDLER.

IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE PROACTIVE THROUGH PROCLAMATION.

I TEST OUR HRC TO ENGAGE THE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY, TO HEAR THEIR CONCERNS, AND TO COME BACK TO COUNCIL WITH RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WILL BENEFIT THE QUALITY OF LIFE, ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR COMMUNITY.

SO TAKE IT AWAY.

THANK YOU, MAYOR COUNCIL, BEFORE WE, UH, WE GO INTO THE UNITY PROCLAMATION AND RECOMMENDATION ALSO KNOWN AS THE SURVEY RESULTS.

I DO WANT TO START BY PROVIDING A BACKGROUND HOW THE HRC, UH, WHICH ESTABLISHED IN THE LATE 1990S DUE TO THE OUTRAGE OF DISCRIMINATION TOWARDS LATINO AMERICANS.

DURING THAT TIME, THE HRC HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION WAS CHAIRED BY MAYOR HARKEY AT THAT TIME.

SO I DO ASPIRE TO BE THERE SOMEDAY.

NOW, TODAY, THERE

[00:20:01]

NOW TO JUMP INTO THE TIMELINE OF EVENTS IN JUNE OF 2020, UH, MAYOR HARKEY AND CITY COUNCIL DID ISSUE A UNITY PROCLAMATION, UH, WHICH TASK CHANDLER HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION TO ENGAGE WITH THE COMMUNITY, WHICH RESULTED IN A SURVEY.

NOW, SHORTLY AFTER IN JULY, THE SUBCOMMITTEE DEVELOPED, UH, CONSISTING OF THREE ACTIVE HRC MEMBERS, MYSELF, COMMISSIONER CONAWAY, AND COMMISSIONER BEGAY, SEPTEMBER.

WE DID LAUNCH A SURVEY WHICH WILL BE, WHICH WAS AVAILABLE TO ALL RESIDENT AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS AT THAT TIME, RIGHT AFTER IN OCTOBER, WE WERE, UH, WE WERE STONED BY THE RESULTS AND THE FEEDBACK FROM ALL THE WHO ARE PARTICIPATED IN THE SURVEY RESULTS.

THERE WERE 600, 665 RESIDENTS WHO, WHO WORK IN CITY OF CHANDLER, WHO TOOK THE SURVEY.

NOW THAT IS HUGE IN THE SHORT 21 DAYS THAT THE SURVEY WAS WAS OUT.

SO IT IT'S QUITE A FEW DIFFERENT RESPONSES.

UM, MAJORITY OF THOSE THAT LIVED IN THE ZIP CODE AREA, EIGHT FIVE TWO TWO FIVE.

NOW THERE WAS A TIE BETWEEN THE RESIDENTS WHO WERE 21 PLUS YEARS ESTABLISHED, AND THOSE THAT WERE AT SIX TO 10 YEARS ALSO INCOME LEVEL WAS 63% RESULTING IN ABOUT 20, $76,000 IN INCOME ANNUALLY.

NOW WE WERE ABLE TO FIND A CONSISTENT, A CONSISTENT THEME WITHIN THE RESPONSES THAT, THAT WHEN ANSWERED NOW, THE QUESTION, WHAT CAN THE CITY OF CHANDLER DO TO IMPROVE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION FOR ALL ITS RESIDENTS? THAT WILL THE NUMBER ONE QUESTION THAT WAS ANSWERED.

AND THERE WAS, AGAIN, A CONSISTENT THEME OF REFLECTIVE RESPONSES, SOME OF THE THEMES, EDUCATED OPPORTUNITIES, LGBTQ, UH, STAFFING LEADERSHIP, REPRESENT REPRESENTATION, COMMUNITY POLICING, EDUCATIONAL, AND OUTREACH, AND EXPANDING THE EVENTS AND LOCATIONS, EXPAND COMMUNICATION AND MARKETING, AND THEN OTHER BUSINESSES AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND BAKERS.

NOW, I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME COMMISSIONER CONAWAY TO THE PODIUM TO DISCUSS OUR RECOMMENDATION TO THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

THANK YOU, LEE COMMISSIONER BELLO.

AND THANK YOU AGAIN, MAYOR AND COUNCIL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK THIS EVENING.

UM, AS JACOB MENTIONED, THE SURVEY WAS AN OUTPOURING OF FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY.

IT WAS THE COMMITTEE'S PRIVILEGE TO REALLY SIFT THROUGH THE FEEDBACK, UM, FIND THE THEMES.

AND WHAT WE SAW WAS REALLY, THERE WAS A CASCADE OF ITEMS THAT REALLY EXCEEDED THE SCOPE, BOTH OF THE COMMISSION AND A LOT OF THE EXISTING DEPARTMENTS.

SO WHAT WE CAME BACK WITH TODAY WAS A RECOMMENDATION THAT THE CITY EMPLOYER, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION CONSULTANT, UM, REALLY TO ADDRESS EACH OF THE AREAS THAT THE SURVEY OUTLINED IN TERMS OF WHAT RESIDENTS WANTED TO SEE IMPROVED IN THE CITY.

UM, A LOT OF THE COMMENTS THAT CENTERED AROUND EDUCATION, HOW WE HELP IMPROVE THE EXPERIENCE OF CITY STAFF AND REALLY MAKE US MORE COMPETITIVE AS WE ENTER INTO THE ADVANCED STAGES OF THE YEAR 2000, UM, TO REALLY KEEP OUR IDENTITY FORWARD IN A BRAND OF DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION.

WE OUTLINED SEVEN BENEFITS OF THIS CONSULTANT, WHICH REALLY DRIVE US TO MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION TO YOU.

ONE IS CONSULTANTS CAN COME IN AND I THINK I LIKE IDENTIFY BASICALLY OPPORTUNITIES FOR BEST PRACTICES THAT THE CITY DOESN'T KNOW, BLIND SPOTS, UM, WAYS WE CAN IMPROVE AND ENHANCE, UM, RECRUITING PIPELINES, WHICH IS ONE OF THE SECOND BENEFITS, UM, REALLY AND MAINTAIN REGULAR TRAINING FOR CITY STAFF.

SO WE SAW TIME AND AGAIN, IN THE COMMENTS IN THE SURVEY, UM, HOW DOES THE CITY BEST REFLECT ITS SERVICE MODEL? HOW DOES IT BEST REFLECT THE DIVERSITY OF THE COMMUNITY IN WHICH IT OPERATES? UM, DIVERSITY IS A FACT OF CHANDLER'S COMMUNITY.

UH, INCLUSION IS THAT CHOICE.

SO WHEN WE LOOK AT HOW WE CAN MAKE THE CITY MORE AMENABLE TO SERVING DIVERSE POPULATIONS REALLY WANTED TO LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, DEEP DIVING, WHAT SORT OF TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE THE CITY STAFF RECEIVED.

UM, WE LEARNED THROUGH OUR INVESTIGATION, IT WAS ABOUT A FOUR HOUR TRAINING AT THE START OF THE CAREER.

AND THERE ISN'T REALLY A MAKE A REGULAR LOOP OR REFRESHER ON DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION AS THE CITY BECOMES MORE DIVERSE TAKES ON NEW MEMBERS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

UM, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CITY STAFF ARE GIVEN THE BEST OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE BEST IN CLASS SERVICE.

WE ALSO WANTED THEM TO COLLABORATE WITH RELEVANT STAKEHOLDERS, NOT ONLY WITHIN THE CITY COUNCIL, BUT IN ALL THE AREAS OF THE CITY'S GOVERNMENT, THE CITY OPERATES AS A BUSINESS OR SOCIAL ENTERPRISE.

SO IT HAS QUITE A FEW STAKEHOLDERS THAT NEED TO BE APPRAISED OF THIS JUST LIKE IN BUSINESS.

AND WE'LL, WE'LL WALK THROUGH THAT HERE IN A SECOND.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE STAKEHOLDERS HAVE SOMEONE DEDICATED TO THIS FUNCTION.

UM, EVERY GROUP WITHIN THE CHANDLER CITY, GOVERNMENT BENEFITS FROM DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION.

SO REALLY WANT TO MAKE THAT A PRIMER FOR WHY IT'S BENEFICIAL TO THEM.

WE ALSO WANTED TO CREATE, UM, ENRICHED EDUCATIONAL FORUMS,

[00:25:01]

WE SAW TIME.

AND AGAIN, THERE WAS A GREAT ADMIRATION FOR THE CULTURAL EVENTS THAT WE HAD, AND THERE WAS A DESIRE TO CONTINUE TO SEE THEM EXPANDED BOTH IN SCOPE FOR EXISTING EVENTS.

AND THEN HOW DO WE SCOPE IN NEW EVENTS IN THE FUTURE? UM, WE ALSO WANTED TO SEE AN ENHANCED NETWORK OF COMMUNICATION WITHIN THE CHANDLER SCHOOLS AND DIVERSITY EDUCATION, LOTS OF COMMENTS, UM, DIRECTED TOWARDS THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM, REALIZING THAT'S OUT OF SCOPE FOR COUNCIL.

UM, ONE OF THE WAYS WE TOOK IT WAS THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADVISE USC AND OTHERS, UM, WHAT THE, WHAT THE PEOPLE WERE SAYING IN TERMS OF RESIDENTIAL FEEDBACK, AND TO CREATE AN OPEN LOOP OF COMMUNICATION TO MAKE SURE DIVERSITY EDUCATION WAS PRIORITIZED.

AGAIN, NOT SOMETHING THE COUNCIL IS ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN, BUT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN BE ADVISORS ON FOR CERTAIN, UM, AND THEN REALLY TO EVALUATE NECESSARY STAFFING, INCLUDING POTENTIALLY A DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION OFFICER, UM, WHICH REPORTS BACK AND IS KEY TO ACCOMPLISHING ANY OF THE CONSULTANTS RECOMMENDATIONS.

UM, REALLY WHEN THE CONSULTANT IS FINISHED, WE EXPECT A REPORT TO BE FURNISHED TO COUNCIL THE MAYOR THAT OUTLINES WHAT THOSE GAPS ARE, WHAT SORT OF THING CAN BE DONE TO ENHANCE BEST PRACTICE.

AND WE WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT REALLY, OR HAS ALWAYS OPERATED WITH FISCAL CONSERVATIVISM AND REALLY OPERATED ITSELF AS A BUSINESS.

UM, IT'S A SOCIAL ENTERPRISE, BUT A BUSINESS ON THE LAST WE WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THE LARGEST 10 ORGANIZATIONS IN CHANDLER HAVE DNI DIRECTORS OR DIRECT OR DIVERSITY INCLUSION OFFICERS, UM, EXCEPT THE CITY OF CHANDLER.

WE ALSO LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, SMALL AND MEDIUM BUSINESSES THAT THE CHANDLER CHAMBER REPRESENTS.

UM, THE CHANNEL OF CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HAS HAD CONSISTENTLY FOR OVER FIVE YEARS, AN EMPHASIS ON DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION MEMBERS OF ALL DIFFERENT BUSINESS SCOPES IN SIZE, SEE IT AS A BENEFIT.

AND THEY SEE IT AS A RESOURCE IN THE CITY.

SO THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, UM, HAS OBVIOUSLY PRIORITIZED IT, KEEPING IN LINE.

UM, WE THINK IT'S IT'S TIME GIVEN THE CITY OF CHANDLER STANDS OUT IN THOSE TOP 10 EMPLOYERS, UM, TO EVENTUALLY LOOK TO THAT.

BUT AGAIN, THE RECOMMENDATION FOR NOW IS THAT OF A CONSULTANT.

AND REALLY WHEN WE BREAK DOWN THE OVERALL ECONOMIC BENEFIT TO THE CITY, UM, WE HAVE TO ALSO LOOK AT OUR COMPETING NEIGHBOR CITIES.

UM, WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, TEMPE, SCOTTSDALE AND PHOENIX ALL HAVE A DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION OFFICER REPORTING WITHIN THEIR CITY RANKS THAT REALLY HELPS PRIORITIZE THAT BOTH AT AN ECONOMIC LEVEL.

AND THEN ALSO FROM RESIDENTS AND PAUSE THERE.

WELL, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, TYLER AND JACOB FOR COMING TONIGHT.

AND, UH, WE DID HAVE A GREAT RESPONSE FROM PEOPLE INVESTED IN OUR COMMUNITY WHO, UH, TOOK THE SURVEY.

I KNOW I TOOK TIME TO TAKE THE SURVEY AS WELL, AND I THOUGHT THE QUESTIONS WERE THOUGHTFUL.

I DO WANT TO THANK THE HRC FOR TAKING ON THIS TASK DURING A CHALLENGING TIME AND BEING THOUGHTFUL ON HOW TO ENGAGE OUR COMMUNITY.

I KNOW IT TOOK A LOT OF WORK TO SIFT THROUGH ALL OF THOSE MANY RESPONSES.

AND I APPRECIATE THE TIME THAT YOU GUYS TOOK TO COME FORTH WITH THE SOFTBALL RECOMMENDATIONS, WE'LL HAVE A BUDGET SESSION COMING UP, AND I KNOW THAT THESE ITEMS WILL BE REVIEWED THAT YOU RECOMMENDATIONS AND KIND OF FIND THEIR WAY WITH THE OTHER PRIORITIES THAT OUR CITY HAS.

AND WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH OUR STAFF AND, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD DIVERSITY TO, UH, SEE WHAT WE CAN DO.

SO I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL.

AND AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR THIS STUDY THAT YOU'VE PUT TOGETHER.

SO

[8. 5G Wireless Findings - Scott Brown]

UH, THE NEXT TWO ARE RELATED TO SCOTT BROWN AND WITH 5G FINDINGS, SCOTT, AND AGAIN, SO YOU'VE GOT THREE MINUTES TO COMMENT, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS TO START.

OKAY, SCOTT BROWN, I LIVE AT THREE AND FIVE EAST IRONWOOD DRIVE IN CHANDLER.

I WILL DEMONSTRATE THREE MINUTES THAT VERIZON WITH THEIR 173 OR MORE ENCROACHING PERMITS ON THE RIGHTS OF WAY WITH SMALL WIRELESS TELECOM FACILITIES ARE IN VIOLATION OF FCC GUIDELINES AS THEY ARE NOW BEING BUILT, CURRENTLY INSTALLED IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.

THE ONE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD IS HURTED A PERMIT EPM TWO ZERO DASH ZERO FOUR ONE NINE.

THE FCC RULE, WHICH THEY VIOLATE IS SEC RULE FOUND ENTITLED 47 CFR SECTION ONE.ONE THREE ZERO SEVEN B ONE TABLE ONE, WHICH STATES ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION IS REQUIRED.

IF NON BUILDING MOUNTED ANTENNAS HAVE A HEIGHT OF BRANDON AND 10 METERS, WHICH IS 32 FEET, EIGHT INCHES, AND THE TOTAL POWER OF ALL CHANNELS, ALL THREE AND TENNIS GREATER THAN A THOUSAND WATTS OF ELECTRO RADIATED POWER PAGE THREE OF THIS PERMIT, WHICH ALL VERIZON PERMITS IN CHANDLER SHOULD STATE THAT, UH, THE TOWERS ARE 30 FEET OVERALL HEIGHT, AND THE ANTENNAS THEMSELVES AT A HEIGHT OF 23 FEET, SIX INCHES.

THOSE ANTENNAS ARE EQUIPPED ALSO ON PAGE SIX OF THE SAME REPORT WITH AN ERICSSON AIR FIVE THREE, THREE ONE FIVE G N R AND TEN THREE

[00:30:01]

THEY ALL WILL ADMIT MORE THAN A THOUSAND WATTS OF ELECTRICAL RADIATED POWER.

SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE FCC WILL NOT BE WATCHING OUR SIDEWALKS TO REGULATE OUR RIGHTS OF WAY TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SCC STANDARDS.

VERIZON IS CURRENTLY, UH, SELF-REGULATING.

THIS IS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

OUR CITY IS FRIGHTENED.

OUR CITY COUNCIL IS FRIGHTENED TO, TO WORK ON THESE THINGS BECAUSE OF A LAW KNOWN AS HB TWO, THREE 65, WHICH PROBABLY SHOULD BE TAKEN DOWN AND WILL PROBABLY NEED TO BE TAKEN DOWN BY THE PEOPLE BECAUSE IT APPEARS THAT WE'RE NOT ABLE TO IT'S UP TO THE CITIZENS TO HOPEFULLY IN TANDEM WITH THE CITY AND OUR STATE AND COUNTY OFFICIALS TO ENFORCE THESE FCC GUIDELINES BECAUSE THE FCC WILL NOT BE HERE.

HB 2365 IS AN UNJUST LAW AND HAS FRIGHTENED OUR CITIES, COUNTIES AND STATES FROM DENYING THE TELECOM COMPANIES, THEIR PERMITS, WHOSE AUTHORITIES WILL CAUSE US ALL THREE ENTITIES.

WE TALKED ABOUT TO LOSE FUNDING.

SO WE'VE ALL SAID THAT OUR HANDS ARE TIED.

HOWEVER, THE PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY EXISTS FOR THE CITIZENS AND THOSE WHO LIVE AMONG THE PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY.

NOT AS A BARGAINING CHIP FOR BUREAUCRATS IN WASHINGTON, DC, WHO WILL GET LOBBIED, FIND SOME MONEY FROM VERIZON AND ALL THE TELEPHONE.

ALSO, ACCORDING TO FCC ORDER, 18 DASH ONE, ONE ONE PARAGRAPH ONE 57, THE CITY OF CHAIRMAN DURING A NATIONAL EMERGENCY CAN INDEED PASS A MORATORIUM ON THE TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICE.

I URGE OUR CITY COUNCIL TO DENY AND STOP ALL RELATED CELL PHONE PERMITS UNTIL APPLICANT'S WILL COMPLY WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED FCC GUIDELINES FOUND ON TABLE 47 CFR SECTION ONE.ONE THREE ZERO SEVEN B ONE TABLE ONE.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, SCOTT.

[9. 5G Wireless Solutions - Kari Wagner]

DID YOU WANT TO WAIT UNTIL THE SECOND ONE TO GET QUESTIONS FROM STAFF? UH, LET'S LET THEM BOTH SPEAK AND THEN GET THE QUESTION.

MY NAME IS CARRIE WAGNER.

I LIVE AT 2305 EAST FOLEY.

THANKS FOR HAVING ME BACK.

I ATTESTED AFFIRM THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS ARE TRUE, ACCURATE, AND WITHIN MY PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE, AND WE SPOKE TO SEVERAL OF YOU INDIVIDUALLY FOLLOWING THE OCTOBER CITY COUNCIL MEETING, WHEN SCOTT AND I LAST SPOKE ABOUT DENSIFIED, 4G 5G, WIRELESS TELECOM FACILITY IS BEING CONSTRUCTED AND CHANDLER'S PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY.

IT SEEMED THAT YOU AGREED WITH DENSIFIED.

4G IS NEGATIVELY AFFECTING THE COMMUNITY, HARMING PUBLIC DEVALUING OUR PROPERTIES, WIPING OUT OUR PRIVACY AND DESTROYING OUR POLLINATORS.

THESE WIRELESS ANTENNAS ARE SIMPLY TOO POWERFUL AND THEY ARE BEING INSTALLED TOO CLOSE TO THE GROUND INTO CLOSE TO OUR HOMES.

SEVERAL OF YOU TOLD US IN OCTOBER THAT YOU FEEL THAT YOU HAVE BEEN BACKED INTO A CORNER BY THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEGISLATORS AND REGULATORS, BUT I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN THREAD THE NEEDLE LOCALLY, REGULATE DENSIFIED, 4G, 5G, AND STAY OUT OF COURT.

IT'S TIME TO LOOK TOGETHER AT THE BIGGER PICTURE.

IT'S A BUNK, THE WIRELESS INDUSTRY PROPAGANDA AND STAND OUR GROUND TO PRESERVE CHANDLER'S LOCAL VALUES.

THE FOLLOWING ARE FORWARD THINKING SOLUTIONS THAT RETURN TO POWER BACK TO OUR LOCAL CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.

HERE'S WHAT WE CAN DO TOGETHER.

NUMBER ONE, FIRST CREATE A COMMITTEE OF 10.

THE, WE WANT IT COMMITTEE AND AUGUST GROUP COMPROMISED WITH SELECTED CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, CITY STAFF IN PUBLIC WIRED WIRELESS INDUSTRY REPRESENTATIVES AND IMPORTANTLY, THIRD PARTY RF, EMR EXPERTS NOT EMPLOYED BY THE WIRELESS INDUSTRY.

THIS SUBCOMMITTEE WILL CREATE SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS OF 4G 5G DENSIFIED.

IN CHANDLER, WE HAVE A SCHEDULED ZOOM MEETING.

THAT'S 30 MINUTES NEXT WEEK ON WEDNESDAY AT TWO, TO EXPLORE HOW WE CAN FORM THIS.

WE WANT TO COMMITTEE TODAY.

YOU ARE EACH INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS FIRST STEP.

SECOND, WE CAN FINALIZE AND PASS THREE SIMPLE LOCAL ORDINANCES THAT CAN BE ADAPTED FROM WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN WRITTEN AT OUR TOWN ARCH COURSE THAT ORG POSTED IN THE SOLUTIONS MENU ORDINANCE M FOR MORATORIUM ORDINANCE VHP FOR LOCAL REGULATIONS OF WTS, VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL, AND POWER PARAMETERS, AND THE BEST ONE THAT WE WANT IT ORDINANCE THE WRITTEN EVIDENCE, WIRELESS ANTENNAS NEEDS TEST AND THE TELECOMMUTE COMMUNICATION ORDINANCE.

COME TO THE ZOOM MEETING FOR DETAILS OR CHECK THE WEBSITE, NOT RIGHT NOW, BUT AFTER WE FINISHED SPEAKING, FINALLY IN CHANDLER, WE CAN TAKE POSITIVE STEPS TO SIMULTANEOUSLY PROVIDE SUFFICIENT TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICE AND PROTECT THE QUIET ENJOYMENT OF OUR STREETS.

WE CAN THREAD THE NEEDLE TO DELIVER ACTUAL PUBLIC SAFETY AND CHANDLER DESPITE THE 1996, FCC RF NPE GUIDELINE, DESPITE EXISTING FEDERAL AND STATE TELECOM LAWS.

AND DESPITE THE OLD TIRE MYTH THAT YOUR HANDS ARE TIED.

ACCORDING TO THE COUNTY'S TOP TELECON ATTORNEY, ANDREW KEVIN NELLIE CITY, COUNCIL MEMBERS HANDS ARE MOST

[00:35:01]

PERHAPS ONE OF 10 FINGERS MIGHT BE PARTIALLY TIED THE LEFT PINKIE, BUT NINE, THREE FINGERS ARE ENOUGH TO GET THE JOB DONE.

YOU SEE COMPLIANCE WITH THE FCC RF NPE GUIDELINES DOES NOT ENSURE PUBLIC SAFETY.

THERE IS REAL EVIDENCE NOW JUST NOT JUST UNFOUNDED WORRIES ABOUT THE FUTURE.

PEOPLE LIVING NEXT TO THESE ANTENNAS ARE GETTING SICK IN A MATTER OF WEEKS IN IMMEDIATE NEUROLOGICAL CARDIAC AND IMMUNE SYSTEM PROBLEMS. THANK YOU, COREY.

THANKS ORLANDO.

YOU HAD A QUESTION MAYOR.

UH, I KNOW YOU HAD THE SUB COMMITTEE AND I READ THE MEETING REPORTS THERE ON THE SUBCOMMITTEE.

I APPRECIATE THE STAFF DOING THAT AND SOME OF THE RESIDENTS ATTENDING IT, BUT, UM, CAN STAB ADDRESS THIS ISSUE OF THE 30 FOOT PIPE AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? AND, AND THE WATTAGE VERSUS TWO VERSUS THREE MIRROR, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT HAVING A BROADER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM BECAUSE IT'S PUT UNDER SCHEDULED APPEARANCES, WHICH REALLY TELLS THE PUBLIC THAT WE'RE HAVING SOMEBODY GIVE A REPORT TO THE COUNCIL.

IF WE'RE, IF WE'RE WANTING TO HAVE THAT BROADER DISCUSSION, I WOULD PREFER THAT WE COME BACK IN A MORE, UM, UH, UH, PREP PROPERLY AGENDIZED ITEM.

SO, BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS PART OF A SCHEDULED IS THAT CONSUL CAN ASK QUESTIONS.

SO YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

OKAY.

I HAVE, I HAVE A QUESTION.

WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THE FCC 30 FOOT TWO FOOT POLE AND WE'RE AT 28 AND THE WATTAGE.

HAVE WE LOOKED AT THAT FROM A LEGAL STANDPOINT? WE LOOK AT THAT FROM A STAMP.

I MEAN, I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, HAVE WE DONE OUR DUE DILIGENCE ON THE, ON THAT TYPE OF ACTIVITY.

THAT'S GREAT.

YOU KNOW, COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO, I'M GOING TO ASK DEREK HORN DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, DIRECTOR AND DENNIS OUST.

UH, HE WORKS IN OUR RODWAY MANAGEMENT FOR THESE UTILITIES TO TRY TO ADDRESS YOUR QUESTIONS.

IF WE DO NOT HAVE THE ANSWERS, WE WILL DEFINITELY GET BACK TO YOU.

THAT'S FAIR.

THANK YOU, CITY MANAGER.

THANK YOU, MAYOR COUNCIL IN ORLANDO.

UM, I HAVE DENTIST'S OFFICE WITH ME TODAY.

HE CAN ADDRESS THE TECHNICAL QUESTIONS OF THIS, BUT I DO WANT TO SAY IN A BROAD SENSE THAT WE'D BE HAPPY TO DO A MORE THOROUGH, UH, REPORT ON THIS, BUT WE DO ISSUE OUR CONSTRUCTION PERMITS AFTER A VERY THOROUGH REVIEW WITH FEDERAL STATE AND LOCAL REQUIREMENTS THAT HAVE TAKEN RATS OR THE SPECIFIC QUESTION MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO.

THE, UH, HYBRID REQUIREMENT THAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT SPECIFICALLY IS NOT NECESSARILY APPLY TO THE SPECIFIC PROJECTS.

UM, THE, THE SMALL WORLDS FACILITIES ARE, ARE, ARE GOVERNED BY THE FCC REQUIREMENTS.

THEY'RE ALSO GOVERNED BY STATE AND LOCAL LAWS.

THE CURRENT HB 2365 STATE LAW ALLOWS THESE TO BE UP TO 50 FEET IN HEIGHT FOR CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS.

THERE'S A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT FACTORS THAT GO INTO IT THAT WE LOOK INTO, UH, DURING THE PLAN REVIEW PROCESS, EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE REVIEWED, THESE ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THOSE.

UM, AS FAR AS THE FCCS SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS, THEY'RE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THOSE AS WELL.

SO MAYBE THERE'S A COMMUNICATION DISCONNECT HERE, AND I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, I'M TRYING TO BRIDGE THAT.

OKAY, WE HAVE THE SEC COMPLIANCE AND I DON'T KNOW, IT'S A PERSON I'M HEARING THAT 30 DASH, WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE SAYING THAT THEY MUST BE ABOUT 32 FEET AND THEY CAN'T ADMIT NO MORE THAN 1000 WATTS AGAIN.

UM, UM, THIS IS BRAND NEW TO ME, AS FAR AS THE DETAILS HERE, UH, THE CURRENT POLLS ARE AT 30 FEET AND WHAT I'M HEARING THE RESIDENTS SAY IT'S LESS THAN THE 32 FEET THAT THE FCC RECOMMENDS.

SO WHAT LAW OR WHAT, UH, ACTIVITY IS GIVING US THE, THE ABILITY TO, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU SERVE OR GET AROUND THAT 32 FEET.

THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING.

I GUESS THAT MAKES SENSE.

NOW, MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO.

MY UNDERSTANDING FROM WORKING WITH THE INDUSTRY ON THIS IS A LOT OF THESE LAWS ARE, ARE GEARED TOWARDS DIFFERENT TYPES OF, OF COMMUNICATIONS TOWERS OF THESE SMALL WIRELESS FACILITIES FALL OUTSIDE OF WHAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER A TRADITIONAL MACRO TOWER, WHICH NEED A LOT OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS.

THEY HAVE SMALLER SIZE REQUIREMENTS.

THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS THAT THEY'RE ALLOWED UNDER AND THEY HAVE DIFFERENT, UH, POWER WATTAGE REQUIREMENTS.

SO WE GOT THAT FROM THE INDUSTRY VERSUS THE FCC OR THE LAWS.

AND I'M GOING TO PUT YOU ON SPOT, OKAY, LET ME DO IT THIS WAY.

I LIKE STAFF TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THIS PARTICULAR QUESTION AND LET ME KNOW WHAT PROHIBITS US AS A COMMUNITY FROM NOT INCOME FROM, UH, HAVING THEM DO THE 32 FEET OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, OR A LITTLE BIT MORE MAXIMUM SAFETY.

I THINK THAT'S A FAIR THING TO ASK.

OKAY.

AND THEN, UM, AS FAR AS PUTTING TOGETHER A SUBCOMMITTEE,

[00:40:01]

I'D BE DELIGHTED TO LISTEN TO WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY AND FIGURE THIS OUT, UM, AND CONTINUE THE DIALOGUE GOING.

I THINK THAT'S FAIR TO CONTINUE TO DIALOGUE.

I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER MEMBERS OF OTHER CITIES AS I'VE INDICATED TO YOU ON THE PHONE, UH, LAST WEEK, AND THERE'S CONCERN FROM OTHER MEMBERS OF OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM OTHER CITIES IN THIS REGARD TO THIS.

SO, UM, AGAIN, MAY COME DOWN TO NOW, WE'RE HAVING A MEETING WITH OUR LEGISLATIVE REPRESENTATIVES, UH, THIS WEEK AND WE'RE GOING TO BE BEST.

ONE OF THE ISSUES I'M GOING TO BE TALKING TO HIM ABOUT IS HOW DO WE LOOK AT THIS ISSUE ONE MORE TIME TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE COULD DO TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY BE MORE IN CHARGE OF MORE CONTROL OF WHAT GOES IN OUR COMMUNITY.

SO, I MEAN, YOU JUST SAW PLANNING ZONING TONIGHT ABOUT APARTMENT COMPLEX OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, WHETHER IT'S WATERWORKS OR SOMETHING WE NEED TO CONTROL.

AND WE MAY STILL APPROVE THAT.

DON'T GET ME WRONG, BUT AT LEAST WE'RE THE ONES THAT'S PROVING THAT WITH YOUR INPUT.

SO THAT THAT'S WHERE I'M ON THIS ISSUE.

THANK YOU.

MA'AM ALL RIGHT.

UM, COUNCIL MEMBER STEWART.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

AND, UM, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT, UM, I'VE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION.

I WAS HOPING MAYBE RYAN, YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME UP, BUT I'D LOVE TO GET A REPORT KIND OF A, I STARTED TO READ THAT, UM, UH, NEW HAMPSHIRE RULING THAT HAPPENED RECENTLY.

I'D LIKE TO SEE MAYBE A, UH, A LAYMAN'S, UM, REVIEW OF THAT.

IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND PUTTING SOMETHING LIKE THAT TOGETHER FOR MAYOR COUNCIL.

I'D APPRECIATE THAT.

THE OTHER THING I WAS GOING TO ADD IS THAT NO, I'M JUST BECOMING AWARE OF THE 5G, UH, ISSUE.

UM, I KNOW THAT WE WANT THAT SPEED.

I KNOW WE WANT THAT TECHNOLOGY, BUT WHAT I AM GENERALLY CONCERNED ABOUT IS WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS A HEALTH ISSUE, UM, WITH THESE BEING CLOSE TO HOMES AND WHY IT HAS TO BE NEAR HOMES, WHY IT CAN'T BE MOVED TO, UM, UH, LESS DENSE AREAS OF OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT.

I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO ADEQUATELY FIND THAT INFORMATION BETWEEN EVERYTHING WE'RE WORKING ON TONIGHT.

UM, I JUST HAVEN'T DONE THAT RESEARCH, BUT I'D LOVE TO GET SOME MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THAT.

YOU KNOW, I LOOK AT, I CAN ONLY LOOK THROUGH THROUGH THE LENS OF WHAT I KNOW IN MY LIFE AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW, CREATING AWARENESS AND THEN HOPEFULLY UNDERSTANDING THINGS A LITTLE BIT MORE, UM, THESE CONVERSATIONS SHOULD CONTINUE TO, TO HAPPEN.

UM, WE DON'T NEED TO JUST SHUT IT DOWN.

WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS EVERY MEETING, IF WE NEED TO WITHIN REASON MIRROR.

UM, BUT IF THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE OR IF THERE'S, AGREGIOUS ENCROACHMENT ON HOMES THAT ARE NEARBY BY 5G, AND WE DON'T KNOW THE STORY BEHIND IT, LET'S DO SOME MORE HOMEWORK.

AND I DON'T CARE IF THERE'S LEGISLATION IN PLACE.

THAT'S WHY WE LIVE IN A REPUBLIC.

WE CAN CHANGE IT.

UM, BUT IT STARTS AT THE GRASS ROOTS AND WE COMMUNICATE AND WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT.

THEN IF WE GET TO A POINT WHERE WE HIT A DEAD END, THEN WE GO AROUND THAT DEAD END.

OR IF WE GET INFORMATION THAT AFFIRMS THAT 5G IS SAFE, THEN WE DEAL WITH THAT TOO.

SO, UM, I JUST LIKE TO CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION, GET SOME MORE INFORMATION, RYAN AND, UH, SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY, UH, IN THEIR, IN THEIR ACTIONS.

AND WE W WE'VE GOT NOTHING TO LOSE BY DOING THAT.

WE'VE GOT EVERYTHING TO GAIN.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, COUNSEL.

THANK YOU, COUNSEL.

NEXT

[4. Use Permit, PLH20-0035 Brenntag - Tank Farm Reconfiguration]

WE'VE GOT A GOOD HANDFUL ITEM NUMBER FOUR, COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO.

THANK YOU MAYOR.

JUST A COUPLE QUICK QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE.

UM, BUT THANK NORM WHO'S WHO'S GOT THIS.

OKAY.

SO THEY WANT TO EXPAND THE NUMBER OF TANKS THEY HAVE THE STORAGE FACILITY YOU WANT.

IN FACT, SOME OF THEM MAY BE LARGER WHAT THEY'RE DOING TODAY.

I GUESS MY ONLY CONCERN, I GUESS MY QUESTIONS ARE HOW LONG THEY'VE BEEN OPERATING AND HAVE WE BEEN, ARE THEY HAVE THE SAKE RECORD HERE AND HOW DO WE EXPECT THESE? YEP.

GOOD EVENING.

THREE QUESTION.

I APOLOGIZE IF I SAID TO YOU THAT I ALWAYS GET TO BEING MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

UM, MY NAME IS BEN .

I AM THE CASE PLANNER THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THIS.

UM, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I DON'T ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS.

UM, BUT THE FIRST ORIGINAL, SO THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE.

THE FIRST USE PERMIT WAS OBTAINED BACK IN 1989.

SO, UM, AND THEN I BELIEVE YOUR SECOND QUESTION WAS IF THEY ARE IN COMPLIANCE AND IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY CONCERNS WITH HOW THE BUSINESS HAS BEEN OPERATING, CORRECT? YES, YES.

ANY SAFETY VIOLATION, THINGS LIKE THAT.

CORRECT.

SO A STAFF NOTE IS FROM WHAT STAFF IS AWARE, THERE HAS BEEN NO ISSUES WITH THE OPERATION OF THE BUSINESS ITSELF.

UH, THEY'VE MET ALL THEIR REQUIREMENTS.

OKAY.

AND THEN HOW DO WE INSPECT THEM? SO, UM, KIND OF, UH, TWO QUESTIONS, NO, NOT TWO QUESTIONS, BUT TWO ANSWERS TO THAT ONE.

SO THE FIRST ONE IS WHEN THE TANKS DO GO IN, THE BUILDING DIVISION DOES GO OUT AND THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE BUILDING DIVISION TO INSTALL THOSE TANKS THEMSELVES.

AND THEN ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, THE FIRE DIVISION DOES GO OUT AND CONDUCT

[00:45:01]

SO ARE THESE UPRIGHT TANKS OR UNDERGROUND TANKS? THEY'RE UP ABOVE THE GROUND.

OKAY.

SO THERE'S THERE'S CONTAMINATION, UM, I GUESS GUARDS AROUND THESE TANKS AS WELL.

RIGHT? SO THERE'S LIKE, UM, ALMOST LIKE A SINK WHERE THE CONTACT WITH THEM.

OKAY.

GOOD.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, MARY.

I FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE.

THANKS.

ALL RIGHT.

ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS? YEAH.

THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD PICTURES IN THE, UH, ON THIS ONE IN THE DIAGRAMS TOO, THAT SHOWED THOSE.

I KNOW YOU'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

I CAN, I CAN TELL TO THE MASS, YOU'RE JUST SMILING MY EYES.

HEY, SO REALLY I KNOW THIS IS A JUST BUYING SECURITY EQUIPMENT FOR EXISTING AND UPGRADES, THINGS LIKE THAT, SIR.

BUT I THINK THE TWO BIGGEST THINGS HERE, I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR ON, IS THIS GOING FOR THE NEW GARAGES THROUGH THE MAYOR CITY COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO? YES, IT IS.

THIS IS, UH, ALLOWS US TO PURCHASE EQUIPMENT SURVEILLANCE EQUIPMENT, UH, FOR BOTH OREGON STREET AND OVERSTREET.

EXCELLENT.

AND THAT'S, UH, I KNOW COUNCIL MEMBER ROWE, HE'S ON THE DCC BOARD.

THAT'S BEEN, UH, AN ISSUE THAT HAS EMBRACED SEVERAL TIMES AS WELL AS CURRENTLY BEING RAISED ABOUT SECURITY AND SAFETY IN THOSE AREAS.

SO I APPRECIATE HOW LONG BEFORE WE GET THESE IN WITH APPROVAL TONIGHT, WE'LL MOVE PROCEEDING.

WE'LL PROCEED IMMEDIATELY.

AND WE'RE HOPING THAT IT WILL BE WITH THE NEXT FEW MONTHS WILL BE COMPLETED.

AND THEN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THE VIDEOS AND THINGS LIKE THAT AS WELL.

SO I HAD A BRIEFING TODAY WITH, UH, WITH THE CHIEF AND WE DISCUSS THAT VERY SUBJECT.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

APPRECIATE IT.
