This location is 200 It direclly to the North a our building <br />(Resistance Technology Inc. 1260 Red Fox Rd.). <br /> <br />RTI is a manufacturer ct canponents and assemblies for the hearing aid industry. The core a our business at this <br />location involves microminiature mechanical and electrical assemblies that are very sensitive to Radio Frequency and Electro- <br />Magnetic Interference. The current conditions that we are trying to deal wth are bordet1ine acceptable and we feel very <br />uncomfortable with the installation ct additional antennas. <br /> <br />RTI '$ proposal to the Qty ct Arden Hills would be to fund impact testing to insure canpliance to RTI's business efforts <br />Amd Mure profitability. In the event that the testing stlcJo.wd that the antenna installation could further impacl manufacturing <br />~. RTf v.ooId require RF and EMI shielding that would result in considerable costs to RTI. We are staling our position dearly <br />because of our presence in the canrnunity fa (Ner 20 years and our intentions to continue to grow our business.
