Subject: FW: Cellular and Broadband, a F. ;h' ' a`P�MATERIAL <br /> A t ))PSt6tNi1tico of Packet <br /> From: Keith Turner <br /> Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2013 2:01 PM t. <br /> To: Pleasanton City Clerk � <br /> Subject: Cellular and Broadband <br /> I understand that a City-sponsored survey of local businesses produced high marks for Pleasanton as a place to do <br /> business. Atop the short list of criticisms, however,was poor cellular and broadband services. <br /> I believe that it's not just the business community that's frustrated with poor cell service, but families trying to connect <br /> with each other on a daily basis from such locales as the library, schools and sports fields. It's also problematic for those <br /> who abandoned home land lines and are exclusively mobile. <br /> Last month the Planning Commission unanimously endorsed revisions to the antiquated ordinance that will allow service <br /> providers to close coverage gaps throughout Pleasanton. On Tuesday, December 17,the City Council will have the final <br /> say on the changes. <br /> As one of the city's largest employers, I urge you support updating the ordinance. On behalf of the many Safeway <br /> employees who live and or work in Pleasanton, I appreciate the staff's timely and thoughtful response to a citywide <br /> problem. <br /> Thank you— <br /> Keith Turner <br /> Director, Public and Government Affairs <br /> Safeway Inc.
