Manager Bill Malinen briefly reviewed Council Action (RCA) dated June 28, Councilmember Ihlan noted the comments at the Planning Commission level and to staff in opposition to this request, particularly noting the opposition of those residents living across Rice Street in Little Canada, who expressed concern about any detrimental impacts to the market value, and potential interference with radio and other reception at the trailer park across the street. Councilmember Ihlan re- quested that staff address any information that would address those concerns; as well as noting her removal of this item in case there was anyone in the audience who wished to make additional comment. Community Development Director Patrick Trudgeon advised that the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) regulated bands for operation to avoid inter- ference. Mr. Trudgeon further noted that, to-date in staff s research on any im- pacts of telecommunication towers and property values, that research had pro- vided no concrete peer or scientific analyses to make a determination of value im- pacts, either negative or positive. Councilmember Ihlan noted previous policy level discussions of the City Council on sighting towers on public or park property, and noted that other communities were adopting ordinances addressing location of towers, and encouraged the City Council to do so as well. Councilmember Ihlan advised that she would vote in opposition to the proposed motion, in support of the concerns of those Little Can- ada residents who had expressed concern. Mayor Klausing looked to the audience for any comment, of which there was none. •
