<br /> DRAFT <br /> ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - mL Y 13, 1998 9 <br /> Mayor Probst noted the TCAAP tower proposal and stated it is his understanding the National <br /> e Guard is not supporting that effort. He stated it is interesting that Fox 29 has taken it upon <br /> themselves to contact all of the State's Congressional delegation and suggested the Council <br /> authorize Staff to advise the same of the City's opposition to the placement of a tower on <br /> TCAAP property. <br /> Councilmember Aplikowski stated her support of the Mayor's suggestion. <br /> Mr. Fritsinger advised there may be room at the current Shoreview tower site for an additional <br /> antenna but Fox 29 has indicated there is not adequate room. <br /> Councilmember Malone stated the broadcaster's may place a different "spin" on the FCC <br /> regulations and, perhaps, it is not actually mandated by the FCC. He advised of the ownership of <br /> the current towers and stated hc believes there may be adequate space at the current site, <br /> however, it may be an issue of capitalism and offering space to a competitor. <br /> Councilmember Malone urged caution in writing a letter that simply indicates "no" and <br /> suggested it identify the issues and rationale. He pointed out that the physical tower on the <br /> TCAAP property would prohibit other developments. <br /> Mayor Probst advised of General LeBlanc's objection to the placement ofa tower since it is not <br /> compatible with the plans already identified for this property. He stated his concern that the City <br /> . of Arden Hills was the last on the list to be notified, following contact with the legislative <br /> delegation, to "drum up" support. Mayor Probst stated that he does not want the City's lack of <br /> comment to incorrectly be seen as indifference. Mayor Probst advised that Shoreview officials <br /> have indicated support for the placement of the tower at the current tower site. <br /> Mayor Probst noted the newspaper article addressing clean-up of TCAAP Site A and inquired <br /> regarding the placement of athletic fields. He asked Staff to confirm the dates of the clean-up <br /> and determining the potential for placement of athletic fields, <br /> ADJOURN <br /> MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Keirn seconded a motion to <br /> . adjourn the meeting at 8:43 p.m. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). <br /> Dennis Probst Brian Fritsinger <br /> Mayor City Administrator <br /> NOTICE OF MEETINGS <br /> e The next regular City Council meeting will be held Monday, July 27, 1998, at 7:30 p.m. at the <br /> Arden Hills Council Chambers, <br /> ----..- <br />
