Community Development Director Robert M. Keating asked about the mcratonum <br />suggestion. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Ginn, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Stanbridge, to declare a six-month <br />moratorium while revisiting the telecommunication tower <br />ordinance. <br />Under discussion, Chairman Adams asked haw many tower applications were <br />pending, and Director Boling advised he was not aware of any others. <br />There was a question as to haw to proceed with a moratorium, and Deputy County <br />Attorney WiII Collins advised that a moratorium has to be imposed by ordinance which <br />requires advertising. He thought there would be no prohibition against having another <br />moratorium since five years have gone by, the technology is changing, and the past approach <br />may have been well-intentioned but not as effective as we would like. The Board cannot <br />declare a "pending ordinance" because the regulations are not yet known. <br />Commissioner Macht interjected that the National Association of Telecommunication <br />Officers and Advisors (NATOA) to which he, Telecommunications Manager Ten <br />Smith <br />and Attorney Bangel belong, will be convening in the reasonably near future to revyliew the <br />new federal guidelines. <br />Director Keating had questions and advised that he thought staff had exhausted and <br />gone beyond their level of expert <br />ise previously and wondered if the Board wished to hire <br />consultants. If so, the RFP process would be necessary and it would take several months just <br />to comply with the Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act to get someone on bo4oird. He <br />suggested a minimum 6 -month moratorium. <br />Attorn <br />ey Collins advised that it would not be necessary to make any decisions at this <br />December 12, 2000 <br />
