rehabilitation facilities with six beds or less. The concern he has is frustrating the public in terms of bringing the public to a meeting, potentially not meeting the shot clock, and having the public sit and listen to the appeal and having to tell them this is the way it is. Commissioner Brown said he was simply advocating for clarity in the public notice under what conditions one could appeal to the City Manager so the public would not be frustrated. Commissioner Balch noted there has got to be a will to be open in the government process and this City has shown they are a vocal group, and despite that challenge being mighty and great, staff should notice the public and provide the process. Commissioner Brown moved to recommend to the City Council approval of the amended proposal P19-0027 for a draft City policy regarding small wireless facilities with a request City staff and outside legal counsel review the feedback from carriers and reconsider the details around concealment, bonding, and radius.

Given Commissioner Balch's concern around making sure there is a public process and communication to the public, Commissioner Brown recognized the FCC has essentially mandated that the City cannot deny based on the various criteria. He asked if Mr. May had any proposed language the City could include in the notice stating the City has received an application and if the public would like to comment or express concerns these are the reasons they can. This would identify what grounds the public could consider an appeal to the City Manager. Commissioner Balch said his position is that it must be an open process and observe what the decision-making process is when appealing to the City Manager versus the City Council. Mr. Beaudin stated the FCC has really superseded the ability for local public process with the 60-day shot clock. On one slide Mr. May showed 850 to 1,700 nodes, times 3 carriers, and the idea of the possibility of opening up a public process to an objective review gives him pause from a staffing perspective.
