Ordinance
Invalidated
“The telecommunications Act of 1996 forbids outright banning of telecommunication towers in the county, and now I, know our ordinance won’t stand a challenge,” McCarthy said. “I can’t emphasize enough that this is a big deal.”
The commission quickly agreed to attend the meeting.
Further discussion dealt with ways to control the towers. However, McCarthy said that the companies were using the “divide and cpnquer technique to get their foot in the door.”
They have offered some property owners $600 per month rent for sites on their property for the towers, and fire departments who might want the service have been also been approached, according to McCarthy.
He suggested that property owners hold out for more than $600. “Go for $1,000,” he joked.
“It " could be worse,” McCarthy concluded.”At least the telecommunications companies said they would try to work with us.”
