Ok, Cambrians. Cell Phone coverage is spotty in much of town. A few Cambrians have put in their 2ยข on where the “new” cell tower should NOT be, namely, on the Fiscalini Ranch. Though at least three companies have “been in charge”, the current applicant is taking citizens’ concerns seriously and has reduced the scale of the project. The issue is on the agenda for the next North Coast Advisory Council meeting (May 21, 7pm, Rabobank). The NCAC acts as the eyes and ears. It’s mission is to make sure our supervisor, Mr. Gibson, has a good idea about what the community’s opinions and comments are for this part of District 2. In light of this, I wanted to provide for more community input. I appeal to you, as Cambrians, to set aside the emotional, gut reaction to the project. Take a step back, breath a little deeper and consider the pros and cons of the potential sites. No matter the location of the project, there are impacts – most of which well are mitigated or absent. The FCC will NOT allow a cell tower project to get derailed if the only reason given in opposition is possible negative health effects. Instead of continuing to say NO, try saying yes to one of these alternate sites.

I will bring the survey results to the NCAC meeting to be included in the response we send to the County.

Tell you friends! The more votes we get, the better.
