Les Merkley—Public Hearing regarding a petition filed by Verizon Wireless for installation of new
wireless support structures
Mr. Merkley—indicated there are 34 petitions; these are micro cell structures in 34 different
locations in the City pursuant to Indiana Statute and Resolution adopted by BPW in 2017. Once the petition
is filed we are to conduct a hearing within 30 days; we are within that time for this hearing today and also
we posted this notice on the City website for the public.
Public Hearing—none
Mr. Merkley—my advice would be to take this under advisement until September 21 to make a
decision pursuant to the Statute and Resolution. Your last meeting before then would be September 18. I
would recommend we schedule a meeting with Verizon to go over these locations and I believe there is
other as well. We need to adopt some aesthetic standards. This is an issue that other City is dealing with
also.
Mr. Crouch made the motion to take this petition under advisement, second by Mr. Waiz and
motion passes 3-0.
Meeting was scheduled with Verizon representative and the City for August 21 at 1:30 pm in the
