might better go into that space. Nevertheless in the committee | support the $36,000 to keep the option open
at least to transfer the funds at this time. | support it now for the same reason. | think that the analysis
deserves a fair hearing and if we’re going to have it be meaningful, | think the option needs to remain open.
Again | have grave reservations about the project but | think that giving ourselves the time to analyze it
thoroughly would be a good idea. Thank you.

Given its second reading;
MOTION BY ALDERMAN CARON FOR FINAL PASSAGE OF R-17-114
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Cookson
Just briefly. | just wanted to let the Board know if they didn’t get the opportunity to review the Finance meeting
minutes which I’m sure they all did, there was discussion about the fact that this is the third of four. We should
be seeing another resolution come before us with the last tenant of the old pole moving to the newer pole that
was built by the New Cingular Wireless. With that being said, | believe that Attorney Bolton indicated that the
last tenant of the old pole their lease runs out in 2023 is that correct Attorney Bolton?
Attorney Bolton
| believe that’s right.
Alderman Cookson
So 2023. So that’s in another six years that we’re going to have two poles erected within feet of one another
when we ourselves have an ordinance that says we won't have two poles within a mile of one another. When |
posed that question to Attorney Bolton, the response was well we’re not going to do anything against
ourselves. That being said, we’ve got an ordinance that says we will not have two poles. | think this is a great
opportunity to persuade the last tenant of the pole to move their equipment knowing what our existing
ordinances are. With that being said, | think we should do everything in our power to get the last tenant moved
off of that pole so that we can deconstruct it and only have one pole within Mine Falls. Thank you.
