bring Dr. Eugene Webb, an expert in the field, to the area <br />beginning in February and the public will be invited to hear him <br />speak. <br />Director Boling continued that Commissioner Adams and staff <br />attended a meeting with DOT staff and discovered that there are <br />proposals for additional towers at I-95 and CR -512 for use by DOT <br />and law enforcement agencies. They have strongly encouraged DOT to <br />look in the area but not erect any towers. Staff is going to work <br />with them to look at existing towers for co -location use. DOT is <br />exempt from the usual notice requirements so staff felt fortunate <br />in having discovered their plans. <br />Commissioner Adams commented that DOT had the actual pad <br />surveyed and marked. She felt really proud of staff for protecting <br />the entry points to the county in this manner. <br />After general discussion, the Commissioners agreed on <br />Thursday, February 20, 1997 at 9:00 a.m. for the telecommunications <br />workshop. <br />Richard Minetti of 1126 54th Avenue questioned whether Dr. <br />Caimi has a professional license, and Director Boling confirmed <br />that he has a PE and doctorate in engineering. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously authorized <br />staff to (1) hire Dr. Frank Caimi for RF engineering <br />consulting services to review and comment on various <br />tower/antenna regulation proposals and alternatives; <br />(2) initiate an RFQ process for retaining an RF <br />engineering consultant(s) to review justifications <br />contained in applications for new towers that are <br />filed in the future; and (3) schedule a final <br />tower/antenna workshop for Thursday, February 20, <br />1997, at 9:00 A.M., pursuant to recommendations of <br />staff. <br />LE <br />JANUARY 14 1997 28 <br />
