APIF, motion carried. c) Presentation by Peter Schaub of T-Mobile. T-Mobile is requesting to lease a 10 foot x 20 foot area, preferably inside the water tower, to house their equipment. Schaub distributed plans showing the preferred placement that would provide optimum coverage. Their equipment would not interfere with the City's SCADA system or existing leaseholders antennas. Weierke expressed concern for lost space and security issues. Schaub stated that T- Mobile would request 24/7 access. Exterior positions were discussed. Consensus of the Board and staff was that T-Mobile equipment would have to be housed outside of the tower. T- Mobile may also consider the Daisy Knoll tower as there is still space there for lease. d) c) Well Site Maintenance Option. Weed control proposals were reviewed from Chern Lawn and a natural weed control company, but to go with the natural method would be cost prohibitive. In addition, the natural method would require chemicals to control dandelion weeds. Consensus was to stay with Chem Lawn. e) d) Well House #6 Security Lighting. A complaint about the lights on Well House #6 being too bright was received from a resident. Various options were discussed. Staff will research directional lighting. 5. Financial Report was accepted. 6. Open Forum. . . .
