It is to be added the the public record and provided to the Development Review Commission<\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c0\">Dozens of residents were unable to ask their questions due to the limited time C800 allocated for this very important meeting, leaving many residents frustrated.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Patrick Evans [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:00:00] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Why don&#8217;t we start out by indicating that we are going to be going in order with first of all a presentation as to the substance of the application that&#8217;s going to be made for a communications tower on Cook&#8217;s Butte. We will introduce five different individuals who will be talking to you about what the substance of that proposal is that will take approximately 20 to 25 minutes. At that point in time we&#8217;ll open the meeting up for comments from the public. We will go in order. If you have a ticket it will say 1 2 3 4 etcetera. I will call those in order. I would ask that you limit given the size of the crowd and trying to get as many people to speak as possible that you limit your comments to one comment or one question. And that is so that your other neighbors have an, an opportunity to also make their comments and questions. We have a limitation on how long we have the room available tonight and we have it until 8:00 o&#8217;clock. [unintelligible] This will not be your only opportunity to provide public input. This is primarily for informational purposes. And with that, I would like to introduce John Hartsock, who is the C800 manager. He will begin the public presentation. Thank you. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">John Hartsock [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:01:44] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Thank you. Good evening. My name is John Hartsock. I&#8217;m the manager of C800 and I thought I&#8217;d just spend a couple of minutes explaining who C800 is. It is a consortium of all the public safety providers in Clackamas County, fire and law, 18 different agencies. So, I have the thrill of a board of directors of eighteen folks. So, I have an 18-member, 18-member, review team as my bosses. It was formed in 2000 for the purpose of building a better public safety communications system in Clackamas County, started actually, one of the charter agencies was Lake Oswego, Clackamas County Sheriff, and Clackamas County Fire District 1 and now includes all 18 public safety providers throughout the county. We partner with Washington County, similar system, it&#8217;s called [unintelligible] But a similar system and we use it as a joint system which produces tremendous savings. In 2016, actually started in 2010, we did a study of the system and the changes in technology going from an analog system to a digital system. In 2016 we took a vote to the residents of the county. It was approved by 72 percent margin which was very exciting for us. That was a $59 million-dollar bond issue to replace the system, that&#8217;s what&#8217;s now underway, we&#8217;re a completed land use in a number of jurisdictions, for this site we&#8217;re doing land use for the Lake Oswego. So, with that I&#8217;ll turn it over to&#8230;I have cards here if any of you want them, please feel free to call or email me. Ah and Bjorn do you want to go over the project. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Bjorn Morfin [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:03:39] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Sure. I&#8217;m Bjorn Morfin, I&#8217;m the project manager. I&#8217;m gonna go through, kind of a description of the site fairly rapidly cause I know you have a lot of questions, [unintelligible] hopefully get to most of them. As you know we&#8217;re proposing a 180-foot tower at Cooks Butte, 50 foot by 50-foot fence leased compound. It&#8217;s about 200 feet in from the dead end at Palisades Crest Drive. Which is kind of depicted on this, which is hard to see but everything I&#8217;m showing you is in the packets that you picked up at the front. If you didn&#8217;t get one, please go one on the way out. This is an enlarged site plan, a little more close in, of the facility and of course the things that you guys are probably most concerned about is the tower. And what it will look like. The reason why it&#8217;s 180 feet tall is we have about 80 feet of space that we use on the tower and we need to be able to clear as many trees as we can. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Scott Handley [Resident] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:04:38] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">It&#8217;s actually taller than that, from what I understand. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Bjorn Morfin [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:04:40] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">There&#8217;s antennas that go up to 196. That&#8217;s correct. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Scott Handley [Resident] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:04:42] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Then why don&#8217;t you say it&#8217;s 196 then? <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Joey Handley [Resident] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:04:42] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">196.6 actually. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Patrick Evans [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:04:45] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Excuse me. Please let the public safety people make their presentation first. We&#8217;ll have time for questions. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Bjorn Morfin [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:04:54] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">So tower is 180. There is appurtenances above it that goes to 196.5. The purpose of this facility, it is the best facility, location. The purpose for the location is the best location in the city that serves the purposes of the site, in general. We have propagation maps which are also in the packet, that show existing coverage for public safety communication, which Cooks Butte is right here in yellow, and green and light oranges are not perfect coverage. We&#8217;re trying to get good indoor coverage as well as improving outdoor coverage. So, if you toggle between the two, you&#8217;ll see quite a bit of improvement, with Cooks Butte here it&#8217;s pretty much solid red which means excellent indoor coverage. So that&#8217;s kind of a brief description on the propagation maps. Oh yeah, also, the plans are still in the works. It&#8217;s predominantly done, initially thought, we thought we&#8217;re going to have a light to tower. We do not have to light the tower anymore. So that&#8217;s a good thing. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">LO Resident <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:06:04] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">What did you say, what kind of tower? <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Bjorn Morfin [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:06:04] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">We originally thought that we were going to have to put a light, a beacon at the top of the tower. We&#8217;ve since learned that we don&#8217;t have to do that. [Unintelligible] Let me please continue with this and then we can get to the questions, thanks. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Scott Handley [Resident] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:06:21] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">You had a helicopter go over today, over that exact spot. And it was like right&#8230; <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Patrick Evans [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:06:24] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Excuse me. We have presentations to begin with and then we will let each of you that wishes to speak, speak up until 8:00 o&#8217;clock. The longer we delay the presentation the longer we delay your ability to make comments on the record. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Bjorn Morfin [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:06:43] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">So we&#8217;ve also done photo simulations which just have a before and proposed look or after look of the tower. This particular shot is taken at a&#8230; just down, just down from the dead end of the Palisades Crest Drive. This is the before picture and again these are in your packet. This is the after. And you can see you, can fairly see the tower&#8230; [unintelligible]. Bare, barely visible. Again. You can look at the ones in your packet, look closer. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">LO Resident <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:07:18] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Did you say fairly visible or barely visible? <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Bjorn Morfin [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:07:19] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Oh, barely [unintelligible] from that location. Yeah. [Unintelligible] This is a second photo simulation we did, and this is&#8230; get my notes here. This is at Ridge Point Drive and Meadowlark Lane intersection. Again before. And after, you see it probably the top 30 feet of the tower there 40 feet maybe. [Unintelligible]. This this photo was taken from Steven meadows and there is no view before or after so not much to show there. And the fourth or the next photo sim we took is is at that the intersection of Palisades Crest Drive and South Southwest Delenka Lane. Before and after. And again, all you see is the top probably 18 feet of just the antennas alone. And this is the photo sim you guys are probably most concerned about this was taken at the the bench at the meadow&#8230; at the park and this is obviously where the towers could be most visible. Obviously before and there&#8217;s the after see a different majority of the tower at that location. And that&#8217;s kind of my short and sweet presentation on why we chose this location. It&#8217;s the best for the RF needs for the for the city of Lake Oswego and Clackamas county overall. I&#8217;m going to turn it over to Chief Jorgensen [unintelligible] and Chief Johnson will speak after [untellable]. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Chief Jorgensen [Chief of Police] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:09:24] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Actually we have a team. We&#8217;re here for the public safety side of the city as mentioned. My name is Dale Jorgensen. I have the privilege of being the police chief in Lake Oswego. Chief Johnson is the fire chief in Lake Oswego and then for those that don&#8217;t know we actually have our own dispatch center called LOCOM that handles all of our communications not only for our city but also for the cities of West Linn and Milwaukee by contract. So, we have our own dispatch center so when you dial 9 1 1 that this means about that. Your call actually goes to a room in our police department down at city hall and is answered by a dispatcher. So, we&#8217;re here just to kind of talk about the need from a public safety standpoint. And I&#8217;m going to talk for just a few minutes and then Sue Stover who&#8217;s our communications manager is going to talk from the dispatcher\u2019s point of view. But I know everybody here at least I would like to hope that everybody here supports public safety. And I&#8217;m going to tell you from a public safety standpoint (I don&#8217;t like podiums) from a public safety standpoint the tool we use more than anything, more than anything, is our radio. And we have two radios, we have this one and we have one in the car. And I&#8217;m going to tell you from a public standpoint the most important tool that we have for you is our radio because when you call 9 1 1 and want a cop or a fire person or an ambulance to get there. The last thing you don&#8217;t want is for our dispatch center not to be able to call us on the radio and say can you go to 1 2 3 whatever street and help them. And right now we have issues and all that the technical people talk about the technical issues that we have with our failing system that is old and decrepit in the bond that went out a few years ago that everybody in this room had an opportunity to vote for was one of those issues that we wanted to take care of was our radio coverage because on the back side of this road, Overlook there&#8217;s some serious coverage issues where when a cop is on this radio, can&#8217;t talk to our dispatch center or to other cops and more importantly in this building that we&#8217;re sitting in when we come in here and we get down into the bottom of this building the way it&#8217;s constructed because of all the earthquake measures. Same with Lake Oswego High and same with buildings out in Meadows without the proper towers or radio coverage. We can&#8217;t get out and there&#8217;s nothing more terrifying for both the citizens and our cops and firefighters not to be able to push a button and talk to somebody that can come in and give them help. I think that&#8217;s the easiest part of this whole situation is for us to tell you the need because the need is very great and having the ability to serve the community in a in a manner that quite frankly you should be served by being able to rely on your public safety professionals to give you help when you need help is critical. That&#8217;s the reason why we need we need towers when there is an incident in a in a school. Heaven forbid that ever happens. We need to be able to come in here. Click our radio and talk to the people that are right outside the door and in some cases that doesn&#8217;t happen now. This new system will alleviate most of those problems. And as was mentioned when looking for best coverage we&#8217;re kind of selfish. And that tower where it sits according to the technical people will give us the best coverage as Lake Oswego residents and as public safety professionals. So, you know, all the, all the different debates can go on. I just know that I want our officers and I want our citizens to be served by the best possible radio system we can. And with that I&#8217;ll let Sue kind of talk from a dispatch standpoint. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Sue Stover [Communications Manager] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:13:37] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">So, I&#8217;m not a public speaker I&#8217;m a dispatcher. Like you said. I talk to people on the phone and I talk to people on a radio. So, I hope I&#8217;m loud enough and I will do my best. And I brought notes because there&#8217;s a lot of you. Again, I&#8217;m not a public speaker. So, I have dispatched officers and firefighters in the city for seven years to a variety of calls before I was promoted to my current position. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">LO Resident <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:14:06] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Could you speak up? <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Sue Stover [Communications Manager] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:14:06] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">I&#8217;m doing my best. I know that several areas of the city have limited or no radio coverage. Blue Heron is an example and ironically so is Meadows. All those office buildings. If I have an officer or a firefighter in those buildings, we can&#8217;t talk to them. We often have no idea what is going on in that building. I can tell you as a dispatcher there are several, there are few things that are as troubling or as terrifying as not being able to talk to my responders. As dispatchers. We use that background noise from those radios to assess what&#8217;s going on. To keep our responders and our citizens safe. And if I can&#8217;t reach my officer I can tell you I have an emotional and often a physical response when you have a phone call and you have people screaming and you can&#8217;t get a hold of those responders at that scene to know what&#8217;s happening and if they have the right resources and if they&#8217;re safe. That&#8217;s very troubling. We take our job very seriously. We take the responsibility of keeping the men and women that serve this community as your first responders very seriously and I can tell you that radio is how we do it. And, as the chief said you have a lot of other points to make. But I can speak from that perspective and the tower will benefit the citizens and our ability to serve you. From a law enforcement and a fire perspective. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Don Johnson [Fire Chief] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:15:45] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">I&#8217;m Don Johnson I&#8217;m the fire chief here in the city and I want to give my time back to you because I think they said it very well. I can tell you that I have been in situations where I couldn&#8217;t contact the dispatch center and it is a really troubling thing whether you&#8217;re trying to deliver a service when you&#8217;re trying to help somebody not be able to do that. This system would allow us to provide the coverage for the officers for the citizens that we need. And I&#8217;ll just leave it there for you. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Patrick Evans [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:16:17] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">With that I&#8217;d like to open the meeting to public questions and comments, is the individual, is the individual who has card number one available in which to speak?

And I&#8217;ve only been in the community since 1986. And just some information this came up in 94. John wasn&#8217;t aware of it, where people wanted a tower in a nature preserve. Came up in 2002. And once again the community said no. What I&#8217;m upset about, and I&#8217;m not blaming anyone. And by the way I think you do need a tower. There&#8217;s no there&#8217;s nothing that says that you don&#8217;t, the location that you decided to use to try to get for the third time is a nature preserve. That was a contract that was written in 1975. A family gave 42 acres as a gift to the city for a nature preserve, in good faith, and then in 2002 when they thought Marjorie was dead there was a clarification that said no telecommunication towers on the land that we&#8217;ve granted you in good faith. I feel the people that were involved in 75 are no longer around. So, they&#8217;re saying, it&#8217;s not my, it&#8217;s not my problem. We&#8217;re gonna go ahead and take it all over anyhow. That&#8217;s my issue.

The question I have is that in with technology today rapidly changing we have 5G on the corner, every ones rapidly deploying this. How long is it gonna take for this tower to be built? And will it be out of date by the time we actually start using it? <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">John Hartsock [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:19:04] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">The answer is No. The project was scheduled to go online and mid 2020 and we are on track to do that. This is, we have two other land use sites one in the city of Portland and this one to accomplish everything else has been accomplished. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Scott Handley [Resident] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:19:24] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">We have access to&#8230; <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Joey Handley [Resident] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:19:24] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">When will the technology go out of date?

The way we have the system purchased is with a 10-year guaranteed ongoing maintenance so it will be at least 10 years.

I think it&#8217;s really nice of you. Really great to see the first responders out here. Thank you for coming out tonight. And thank you all, you green shirt-ers and everybody else that that is here. Wow what a crowd. Did you think this many people were going to be here? <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Bjorn Morfin [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:21:11] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Yeah, we picked about a hundred people. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Jeff Bowman [Resident] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:21:12] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Maybe you should of got a bigger room [Unintelligible] and a microphone microphone. So, one of the things that I&#8217;m curious about is because I also think that Cook&#8217;s Butte is a natural preserve and it probably isn&#8217;t the best place for this kind of an antenna. And I see that you&#8217;ve done some studies about other locations, have you actually looked at and surveyed other locations that could be an alternative if Cooks Butte is not going to be the place to put up this tower? <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">John Hartsock [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:21:48] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">The answer is yes, we have. I think there&#8217;s probably 10. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Bjorn Morfin [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:21:53] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">We&#8217;ve looked at about 17 other locations, primarily on the county side not in the city jurisdiction but we came back to Cook&#8217;s being the absolute best. We looked at coverage objectives and the other areas we had height restrictions so we couldn&#8217;t get the tower heights we had to walk away, we had uninterested landlords and ultimately, we ended up at Cooks. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">John Hartsock [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:22:17] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Let me give you [audience feedback]. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Jeff Bowman [Resident] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:22:21] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">You&#8217;ve got to find another location. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">John Hartsock [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:22:22] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Well, part of the issue is the terrain in Lake Oswego, for instance the site we&#8217;re doing in Wilsonville, is at one end of Wilsonville and we get the same level of coverage at the other because of the flat terrain. It&#8217;s the terrain that causes the biggest issues here. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Jeff Bowman [Resident] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:22:41] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Thank you. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Patrick Evans [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:22:41] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Number 4. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c0\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p class=\"c6\"><span class=\"c7\">QUESTION 4 &#8211; Tim Keenen, Resident<\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c9\"><a class=\"c5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/youtu.be\/M9uG4dfVWxg?t%3D1363&amp;sa=D&amp;ust=1570813805928000\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/M9uG4dfVWxg?t=1363<\/a><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Tim Keenen [Resident] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:22:44] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">I have a public safety question that&#8217;s more about years and weeks than it is about acute events as it&#8217;s addressed here. I&#8217;m an orthopedic spine surgeon who spent the last several years with research and radiation safety in the operating room. And I&#8217;ve reviewed the current literature on radiation exposure and safety with regarding cell towers. Cell towers damage cell function and is associated with increased cancer risk, ALS, Lou Gehrig&#8217;s disease, diabetes and memory loss. There&#8217;s a German study identifying with the trees, lose their branches on one side and then ultimately the tree dies in time. This is not a benign thing and you do not have data to demonstrate safety and I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s safe for this tower to be in a public park where people are walking. [Applause]. We were told that that Roundup was safe, we were told that oxycodone was safe, we were told that vaping was safe. Love Canal, PGE, Erin Brockovich. I think that this radiation exposure is going to be exposed over time to be more dangerous and I challenge you to produce the data that demonstrates safety because based on my review you can&#8217;t do it.

It did not increase the amount of radiation that&#8217;s already in the atmosphere. We also have other studies that we&#8217;re required to produce as part of the land use application and again we do have the studies and we will have that information as part of our application. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Tim Keenen [Resident] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:25:00] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Do I have time to respond to that? <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Patrick Evans [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:25:02] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Ugh&#8230;No, no!

It takes one dose near a house and does not incorporate long term exposure. This cell tower by the Telecommunication Act of 1996 will allow anything else to be put on top of it so that measurement doesn&#8217;t include what is added on later and what radiation exposure will increase over time. It&#8217;s an inadequate study and it proves nothing.

Have they been brought into this at all and is there going to be a state architect or archaeologist there to see if there&#8217;s any artifacts that are unearthed? And, the reason ask that is as we were led to believe that the base for that is going to be a dug at 20-foot hole filled with concrete to support that.

[Audience comments, louder, louder] Ok, I just thanked them for the good job they were doing and understand their desire for a tower. I&#8217;ve lived on Palisades Crest Drive for over 25 years I&#8217;m a retired wildlife biologist and as such I&#8217;ve done a lot of work with migratory birds and other wildlife and I&#8217;ve walked in the park many times a week for most of these 25 years and kept an extensive lists of birds and wildlife I&#8217;ve observed there, but the question, kind of pertains to the previous speakers question about how you&#8217;re addressing the Migratory, the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act, not just during construction but during operations, you say it&#8217;s in the plan but&#8230; The city of Portland for example, I put together guidelines, that can be used for mitigating the impact if the decision to go forward is made. I&#8217;m just wondering if you could provide any more detail about just saying it&#8217;s in the plan.

Once the application, technical term, called deem complete. They will then send out a notice of a 300-foot radius. We&#8217;re going to do some additional, it&#8217;s published in the paper. We&#8217;ll make sure the notice gets out wide and far, we&#8217;ll contact the people that have signed in and that is a public hearing in front of the Design Review Commission which then that testimony goes into their decision. And if you decide you don&#8217;t like their decision you can appeal it and it goes to the city council and if you don&#8217;t like that decision you could appeal it and it goes to the Land Use board in Salem.

It is exercised one day a week and that time is variable. We generally do it around 10 o&#8217;clock on a Tuesday. Don&#8217;t ask me why that was just a date we chose a long time ago. That can be adjusted if it needs to be. There are requirements by the Department of um of DEQ environmental quality that sets the levels it can be during the test period. It&#8217;s measured at the generator and it has to be a certain level at the property line. We are well below that. We just got the report is the reason I happen to know that. The other and because it&#8217;s for emergency uses it&#8217;s only that testing period that comes to be within the code and we are. &nbsp;The other is the air conditioners which can run at night. And again, we meet or below the allowed noise level at the property line. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">LO Resident <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:32:00] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">How will the generator be powered? <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Patrick Evans [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:32:02] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Excuse me.

We&#8217;re very, we had to have an ambulance at our house. We understand how long it takes. Um Our home is located directly next to the park at the top of Palisades Crest Drive. And I have a personal question. I&#8217;m sure that you all being neighbors are concerned about the value of your home. As we are. Extremely. [applause]. What studies are you doing to evaluate the decline in real estate value of the homes that you are encumbered? <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Bjorn Morfin [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:32:56] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Yes I can speak to that. We&#8217;re not doing these studies for this. Historic historically we have not seen any devaluations due to a cell tower being even right in between two homes. I mean with no trees in between. We have not seen but we used to pay for those studies years and years ago and it always came with the same answer. There is no proof of any devaluation. And typically, it&#8217;s not a code issue anyway. I mean not that we don&#8217;t care but it it\u2019s not criteria that we are required to address [unintelligible]. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Patrick Evans [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:33:34] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Number 12. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c11\"><span class=\"c7 c19\">QUESTION 12 &#8211; Terrie Olson, Resident <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c9\"><a class=\"c5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/youtu.be\/M9uG4dfVWxg?t%3D2016&amp;sa=D&amp;ust=1570813805940000\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/M9uG4dfVWxg?t=2016<\/a><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Terrie Olson [Resident] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:33:36] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">I&#8217;m number 12 and my name is Terrie Olson, I&#8217;ve been in Lake Oswego since 86. Our property also backs onto the Butte. I use it every day. My son is a police officer so I&#8217;m very worried about you guys if you are having problems that doesn&#8217;t work for me even one time a week one time a month. I don&#8217;t want to officer or a firefighter in danger that doesn&#8217;t work. My question is, you say your present equipment is old and antique you use it [unintelligible], it doesn&#8217;t work well. You didn&#8217;t tell me what it was, where it is, or how it works. My question leads to that equipment and it needs upgrading rate is sufficient until you started this study. Why is it eliminated from the process? <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">John Hartsock [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:34:33] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">It&#8217;s the 2 sites that basically serve Lake Oswego. Are Pete&#8217;s Mountain to the in West Linn area and View Acres in the Milwaukee area with a little fill in from a site in Washington County called Canterbury. It is somewhat the same equipment. It is analog. The reason it is obsolete is Motorola quit supporting it actually in 2016. So, to a certain degree we&#8217;re living on borrowed time right now. Fortunately, we have adequate spares to keep the system up. We&#8217;re going to digital and not to take too much time. But if any remember when we went from analog to digital on your cell phone your analog phone would go well beyond coverage sometimes it would go for miles sometimes it wouldn&#8217;t but it had the propagation allowed that to happen, under digital when the digital loses its signal it&#8217;s gone and you can&#8217;t wait a second. It has to reconnect to the system so it&#8217;s very definitive. So, we&#8217;re adding the coverage to solve the coverage areas we have in Lake Oswego but also to make it reliable all the time. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Terrie Olson [Resident] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:35:53] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">So those present sites cannot be improved? <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">John Hartsock [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:35:55] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">They are being improved as part of this process. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Terrie Olson [Resident] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:35:59] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">And you talking about height [unintelligible]. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">John Hartsock [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:36:03] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">[unintelligible] The primary there are two things from the height. One is clearing the tree cover with our microwave dishes because we communicate between sites with microwaves. The trees we have trees in this area and 140-foot range. They grow 1 &#8211; 2 foot a year so it\u2019s to allow some growth but to be able to have that communication. We also like our receive antennas which are on the very top to have the clearest sight because that radio the chief has is low in wattage because it&#8217;s held by a human being and it needs to pick up that signal out of that radio. So, it&#8217;s to make that antenna clear to see the radio. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Terrie Olson [Resident] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:36:44] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Sir again to answer the question I asked you I assume you are telling me no that 3 present towers cannot be increased in size or or to accomplish this [unintelligble]. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Bjorn Morfin [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:36:56] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">That is correct.

Second part of that question is right out impossible to answer. I mean we certainly can do studies and could tell you where but it also depends on all the ambient glass.

My question is you have a propane tank up there, you have a massive tower, we have thunderstorms all the time. Is there any increased danger from natural hazards because of this project? And do you have a response plan and a way to deal with it if there is one?

[audience disagreement] We can ask the chief because the emergency response plan obviously would be like Lake Oswego Fire. But there will be one. The propane tank we have decided to underground it. Probably the best and we have designed the sites the state requires us to design these as what&#8217;s called a central facility. It will take a 9-magnitude earthquake and continue to operate. And OK they don&#8217;t want to believe that. The exact same design and concept was in the system they just recently built in Alaska and after the earthquake the towers deflected a little bit while there was being ground movement but once that stopped reconnected that system and was back on air and served them. And that&#8217;s one story that&#8217;s fairly current. We believe we have designed those things in to make it be there because. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Steve Dondershine [Resident] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:43:03] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">So there are quite a few precautions.

My name is Megan Busbee and I&#8217;m fairly new residents to the area from Australia. My family chose this site because of the environmental nature and the wonderful community that we have. I feel that this park is the very fiber of what we are and who we represent as Lake Oswegans without our environment without our trees and without protecting our environment. Who are we as Lake Oswegans? What do we represent here? This is a beautiful parkland and we need to do everything we can to save it and restore it. I also want to thank our firefighters and our EMS services because I agree you do a great job. I&#8217;m Mom&#8217;s Demand Action for Gun Violence Prevention and I&#8217;d to partner more closely with the Lake Oswego and the City Council on gun violence prevention. If only you would allow me to. When it comes to safety, I am deeply concerned as a mother because we know that the radio radiation that the FCC standards here in this country are 100 times less than it is in other countries. I can let you know that there are probably. China has higher levels of standards. Russia has higher standards. Many countries around the world have higher standards of safety when it comes to radiation levels in our communities. So that&#8217;s a major concern for me. Another major concern is I don&#8217;t buy the fact that they and they are not going to lease this up to other telecommunications. [applause] My question is how is their business sustainable when they lease from the city council for $1 a year? <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">John Hartsock [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:45:59] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">The short answer is this is a fully public facility so the property taxes you pay that pays for police and fire services in Lake Oswego also pays for the operation this radio. It is not a money making situation. It is a public service run all by public organizations. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Patrick Evans [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:46:21] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Number you&#8217;re.

These are my young kids and we love to hike up there with our dog. We love to run through the meadow. I&#8217;d like to just say thank you to the Emery family for gifting this majestic 42 acres to our city. And my question is we understand that Clackamas 800 has had the lease with the city for about two years. Why weren&#8217;t the residents informed adequately through this decision making process? Why has there not been a public forum for discussion before this informational meeting? This informational meeting is packed because of citizens like myself and many others in this room who have been canvassing our neighbors, who are completely in the dark and had no idea until we knocked on their door and said, do you know about the tower? No we don&#8217;t. When is the meeting? That&#8217;s why most of the people are here [applause]. A few years ago Mountain Park was given a town hall meeting with city council members.

Which they had posted nothing on their website until Monday. And reading back through the minutes of their meeting online we could see that they had been in discussion. And if I understood the meetings correctly, they rented, or they reserved this room tonight. Yes. There was nothing on their website about this meeting or anything about the tower. Even though I understand you guys had taken them to the Sandy tower to explain the process and show them what the tower was going to look like. But that information was not passed on to the people that they&#8217;re supposed to be representing.

David Powell is the city attorney. Unfortunately, he&#8217;s somewhere else tonight. Out of state.

I&#8217;m just telling you the truth. He said he would welcome phone calls from people to explain that lease. And I&#8217;m again I&#8217;m not involved in the lease. And from the from the point of the negotiations. But I do know that in our discussions one of the things that was very plain was the city, the city did not want other uses for that tower it it gums up many things, in our, our communications. It creates interference and we didn&#8217;t want any cell towers or anything else on there. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Rachel Rittman [Resident] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:54:24] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Sir, can I just respond to that? <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Chief Jorgensen [Chief of Police] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:54:25] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Sure. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Rachel Rittman [Resident] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[00:54:25] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">[unintelligable] So the federal government doesn&#8217;t want proliferation of towers.

So, we got basically shut down from asking some of these questions. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">LO Resident <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[01:02:38] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">That&#8217;s par for the course. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">John Hartsock [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[01:02:41] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">The Lake Oswego land use code, the process I explained a little bit earlier, we go to the design review commission. They will make a ruling. Let&#8217;s assume for a second it&#8217;s OK. You will undoubtedly appeal it to the city council. In a lot of jurisdictions, they use a position called the hearings officer, which is an independent. The fact that the city council has to hear this and make a judgment, it\u2019s called ex parte communications and they wouldn&#8217;t be allowed to rule on it. So, that&#8217;s the reason that you were advised that they, in fact, wouldn&#8217;t talk to you about it because it becomes ex parte communications. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Kirsty Reilly [Resident] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[01:03:23] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">So in layman&#8217;s terms, the city council can&#8217;t listen to the people who voted them into office about our genuine concerns about newborns in the park, about young children in the park. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">John Hartsock [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[01:03:36] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">You have that opportunity during the Design Review Commission, and again as I say, I&#8217;m assuming if that&#8217;s ok, you will refer to the council and at that point in time yes, they will. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c11\"><span class=\"c0\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p class=\"c6\"><span class=\"c7\">QUESTION 25 &#8211; Resident #25<\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c9\"><a class=\"c5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/youtu.be\/M9uG4dfVWxg?t%3D3832&amp;sa=D&amp;ust=1570813805992000\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/M9uG4dfVWxg?t=3832<\/a><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Resident #25 <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[01:03:53] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">25.

So, obviously there&#8217;s a lot of feelings, questions about the second cell tower or a cell phone added to the existing or the planned cell tower. And the answer we always hear is &#8220;well, that&#8217;s not in the lease&#8221;. Which would be a perfectly good answer, if you hadn&#8217;t just broken the old lease. [applause]<\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Matais Beckman [Resident] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[01:04:58] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">My question is for the chief of police, you mentioned in your speech that there are some dead zones in the city with the current system. You mentioned at one point this tower will alleviate most of these problems. So, my question is in terms of coverage, are we going from let&#8217;s say 70 percent to 100 percent? Or are we going from 70 percent to 73 percent? Or, what will this tower do for your people, the firemen who are not having coverage today? <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Chief Jorgensen [Chief of Police] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[01:05:39] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">So, great question, but it&#8217;s a technical question. And so, you&#8217;re asking percentages, I&#8217;m not the technician that does the studies. I&#8217;m a police chief that runs 70 officers and works on those type of things. Your question really is more for the technical people who we hire to manage the project. So, I can tell you right now I can&#8217;t do it in terms, because that&#8217;s outside my complete expertise of knowledge. You&#8217;re talking about percentages of radio coverage. I can tell you from a practical standpoint, because that&#8217;s where I care about it, from a practical standpoint I can tell you right now that down in the basement of this building I can&#8217;t talk to my officers. If you&#8217;re on the backside of Overlook and down in Blue Herring [sic] and that area I can&#8217;t talk to our officers, if we make a traffic stop over there, we have to hope that our officers get back in their car because their car radios will work but their portables which are on their hips when we&#8217;re out contacting people won&#8217;t work down there. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">LO Resident <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[01:06:53] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Do they have phones? <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Chief Jorgensen [Chief of Police] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[01:06:53] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Yeah, we do. And unfortunately, not always do the phones work. But, and again, I appreciate you not rolling your eyes at me. One of the things that happens with phones when we&#8217;re out talking to somebody, we don&#8217;t have time to dial a number and talk to our dispatch center. When there&#8217;s an emergency going on our microphones are right here and we can call for help or cover or what we need. So, phones are a great thing when we have the time to use them. These are what we live on all the time. You also have to understand the phones going into low-com, so low-com is our dispatch center. I might get this number a little bit wrong, but last year how many phone calls did you take? <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Sue Stover [Communications Manager] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[01:07:40] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">It was about a hundred twenty-eight thousand, and we have about, we have several lines that roll but we have three cities. So, if you, for example, if we have three staff people, and you have, say, a accident with five or six cars on Boones Ferry at Kruse, we could get 100 phone calls from the public about that. So, to expect my officer to be able to get through to us and ask to be able [unintelligible] it becomes problematic. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Chief Jorgensen [Chief of Police] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[01:08:13] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">It does, it becomes very problematic. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">John Hartsock [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[01:08:16] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">But one other feature the chief forgot to mention, those of you that are a little closer can see this orange button on here. It&#8217;s an emergency button. It locks the channel and gives the clear communications cause that officer has to [unintelligible]. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Matais Beckman [Resident] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[01:08:34] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Chief, did you get guarantees that with the cell tower these things now work in the basement, were effective, work wherever you want them to work. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Chief Jorgensen [Chief of Police] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[01:08:47] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">The coverages that are on the back of your maps, or back or your packets, that they did all the studies on say yes. Without that tower, and I hate calling it a cell tower, because we call it a communications tower because that communications tower is located where it&#8217;s at gives us the best coverage. So yes, I&#8217;m comfortable with that, saying that that gives us the best coverage. Now again, this is a tough question. Yeah, there&#8217;s probably other sites, but you also have to take into account that this same meeting happens in their backyard too. And so, it&#8217;s really easy to say, &#8220;let&#8217;s pick another site&#8221;, but just because we pick another site doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s going to be built there, and eventually a radio site has to be built or else we don&#8217;t have the coverage. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Rachel Rittman [Resident] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[01:09:45] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Just real quick, in 2017, your minutes said that you were considering Skylands Uplands for this tower, now you&#8217;re considering Cooks Butte.

How old is the phone that you&#8217;re using now? I go to prep-LO [unintelligible] the neighborhood associations have phones they would use in an emergency, why can&#8217;t you use something like that rather than building this big tower that will maybe be out of date in a year? [applause]<\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Chief Jorgensen [Chief of Police] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[01:10:51] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Again, it comes down to officer safety and speed, and these are much faster much clearer than trying to dial a phone number. And, again, we just talked about how many phone calls go into low-com every day, every year, and making sure that we can get into low-com when we need to get into low-com makes it very important. So, I&#8217;m going to answer the back half of your question because I&#8217;m going to put on a fire hat even though I&#8217;m not a fire guy or my police hat. The biggest thing is, heaven forbid again, when we go into this building because there&#8217;s an emergency in this building, we don&#8217;t have time as we&#8217;re running through the hallways to dial the phone and start talking on the phone like this. We do have time to go &#8220;I&#8217;m here, I need three units there&#8221; and then we&#8217;re off and running again. We don&#8217;t have time to dial a phone, and as great as our dispatchers are hoping that they pick up the phone in three seconds or less and then telling our dispatch this is where we need them. And then they&#8217;re relaying the message to the people outside and then the people outside going &#8220;well that was two minutes ago, I wonder where they are now&#8221;. I would think that someday 10 years from now maybe the phone application will work in a different way. Right now, this is the technology that every police and fire and ambulance and, and I will also throw in our public works, because they&#8217;re part of the C800 too, our public works department. This is the technology that works. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">LO Resident <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[01:12:35] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Is that the best available technology in your hand? <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Chief Jorgensen [Chief of Police] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[01:12:37] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Yes. This radio is the brand-new iteration of the digital radios that, thank you, that was bought by the bond project and all of our department is now outfitted with it as well as our fire department and as well as our public works department.

I&#8217;m looking forward to getting your application so that we can understand why the second-best site isn&#8217;t good enough for you. The thing I wanted to point attention to is, it&#8217;s one thing to say it&#8217;s OK to use a PNA area for a tower, that doesn&#8217;t make it right. In the application with its conditional use on page 15 it says the functional characteristics of the proposed site should be reasonably compatible with the surrounding area. And my question is, I would love to see a picture of the tower next to the little water tower to try and understand how in any way that&#8217;s reasonably compatible. There are four paths that will go past your tower, Palisades Crest, the path that leads into it, the path from the meadow, and the path from the other tower. Four nature paths will go directly within 20 feet of the tower. I don&#8217;t see that it&#8217;s physically compatible, this is a heritage site and it just makes no sense to me.

I&#8217;ve been very concerned about this trend in Lake Oswego just tearing down a lot of beautiful natural areas and trees and there just seems to be such disregard for, and disrespect for nature and the things that people really love, that a lot of people who moved here love these things. My husband and I discovered Cooks Butte a few months ago, just by accident, and we walked up to the top and we thought it was a wonderful experience, it&#8217;s a really special place. And if you haven&#8217;t been there, you have to go there. I don&#8217;t know about you guys, but I don&#8217;t want to walk up those trails and see a radio tower up there. My goal is not to see a radio tower. It&#8217;s to get some moment of peace from the craziness in our lives and in our world. I feel like I am not against building a security tower, we obviously need one, but a natural space like that is not the appropriate location for it. Please look for another location.

My name is Michael Louaillier I lived on Palisades Crest Drive since 1992. I was involved with the first attempt to put a cell tower up there in 1994, the second attempt in 2002.

We&#8217;re talking about money here. And just because this is the easiest site doesn&#8217;t make it the best site and the challenge for you and the city and we taxpayers is to help you find the best site not the easiest site. So, you&#8217;ve got to agree that that might be the easiest. But based on everything that&#8217;s been said tonight you must realize that it&#8217;s not the best. The easiest but not the best. Let&#8217;s find the best site not the easiest site. If it costs a couple of bucks more, let&#8217;s do it. And certainly, the first responders&#8230;I mean we all want the first responders to have that communication. So, let&#8217;s get on that. This has been going on at least since 1994. There are solutions. And the challenge here for C800 and the whole city is to find the solution, not the easiest solution, but the best solution. So, I&#8217;m asking you guys tonight to find the best solution and give up on the easiest solution.

Law enforcement fire appreciate everything you guys do for the community. My name&#8217;s Chris Larssen. I own the property at 18785 Westview Drive. I own a good portion of the south side of Cooks Butte Park along with Jan Hollaback. I grew up on the Delanka Lane. I was born and raised in Lake Oswego. I went to this school, so I have a lot of passion for the area and I will say this&#8230;anything that city council does that we don&#8217;t like can be undone. We live in a ballot and initiative state. It takes 10 percent of the voters of Lake Oswego. 2,400 signatures to get on the ballot. And I right now say that we go ahead, and we ban all cellular communications and any towers in our parks. It can be done very easily. If we put it into law, they can&#8217;t do it. [applause] Again, I would propose it if it does get built you guys put radio radiation signs at all the entrances because I mean after all those things do put off a lot of radiation.

My name is Bill Hunting. I was the first resident here in 1938. [applause] I work in the technology field at IBM. I&#8217;ve seen a lot of things go on that people have objected to and turn out to be everyday use. About now thinking about the cell phone that you carry in your pocket. Talk about a radiation device. You have cell phones and you plug in your ear and leave them there. We&#8217;re headed for radiation. Interesting challenges that they&#8217;re not going to come from these towers. These things are way up in the air when the radiation standing on the ground. You&#8217;re not going to get affected. People don&#8217;t live in the park full time. I&#8217;ll tell you there are people who live by the parks, but they&#8217;re far enough away I would suspect, and your radiation studies should support that they do not have a problem. So yes, given the technology we live in today let&#8217;s get on with it. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Patrick Evans [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[01:21:42] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Number 33, please. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p class=\"c6\"><span class=\"c7\">QUESTION 33 &#8211; Taylor Finley, Resident<\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c9\"><a class=\"c5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/youtu.be\/M9uG4dfVWxg?t%3D4903&amp;sa=D&amp;ust=1570813806015000\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/M9uG4dfVWxg?t=4903<\/a><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Taylor Finley [Resident] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[01:21:44] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">That&#8217;s me. I&#8217;m Taylor Finley. I&#8217;ve been here at Lake Oswego since 1990. I wanted to actually ask a specific question because you kinda danced around it a little bit of why we didn&#8217;t &#8230;what the actual cost difference could be if we had multiple smaller towers that wasn&#8217;t at Cooks Butte&#8230; or is this is the best solution for you. But what would it actually take dollar wise to not be at Cooks Butte but also support our first responders? <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">John Hartsock [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[01:22:17] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">And the answer is we could go back to the studies we&#8217;ve done on coverage and could answer that question if we did these three. I&#8217;m picking three. If we did these three sites it would make up for that. Bjorn said we&#8217;ve got this group of people and each of those sites to deal with as well, but I&#8217;ll be glad to do that work. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Patrick Evans [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[01:22:42] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">Number 34. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\"><\/span><\/p><p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">Patrick Evans [C800] <\/span><span class=\"c3\">[01:22:48] <\/span><span class=\"c0\">35. 34.

I live at 1901 Childs Road. I own the old Emery farm. It is the back of my property that&#8217;s the part that Emery and John gave to the city. I was also involved with Michael in 1994. That was a year after Marjorie moved. They waited a year since she moved to start with the cell towers. We shut that down in &#8217;94 because they thought she was dead, and they said she didn&#8217;t preclude cell towers and the reason she didn&#8217;t preclude is cause they weren&#8217;t around in 72&#8242;. I&#8217;m the person that drove Marjorie Emery to sign the affidavit. I know what she wanted. [applause] And I want to say she signed a document that she thought precluded anything but wildlife and people walking in the park. It&#8217;s emotional for me. For 26 years I&#8217;ve safeguarded this. I&#8217;ve been in the fight 1994, 2002. And here we are again! She would not want radiation in her beautiful park. She loved birds. She loved dogs, she loved horses and people. People are not going to use the park once it became becomes a radiation hazard. That was not her intent. So, whatever you say she intended. I drove her. I watched her sign it. I talked to her. This is not what she wanted. [Tears. Wild applause.

I&#8217;ve gone to Cook&#8217;s Butte since I was a child. I&#8217;ve seen beautiful owls up there in the forest that you want to take out. You have to take out fifty feet. You&#8217;re going to have to remove a lot of those trees. It&#8217;s a beautiful sight. And I think that you need to reconsider other places. This is&#8230; our trees are vanishing. This place has changed dramatically in the last 10 years. The people that have been here just a few years. They think it&#8217;s beautiful, but they should have seen it before. I welcome population because I know our world is booming and we have to have population. But let&#8217;s save the parks! Let&#8217;s save the greenery that we have left! That&#8217;s the last natural place in Lake Oswego that we have. She put a rock up there that said, &#8220;This is for human&#8221;. It&#8217;s sandblasted. You guys maybe need to go out there and look at it in the meadow. &#8220;This is for humans and animals alike to share. And have peace.&#8221; We don&#8217;t want that up there.

And what I want to say is when I watch. I had a million questions to ask but I guess I got to ask one. I&#8217;m looking at you people up there on the dais as part of what I call the Ram Jack corporation. You&#8217;re trying to shove this down our throats in conjunction with the City Council and the City Attorney. This whole thing with the natural world. You put a death grip on it to make sure that there&#8217;s no leeway to work around it. I can see the way you&#8217;re talking and when you&#8217;re not in your heads or the way you&#8217;re acting that you&#8217;re going to go ahead with this. It doesn&#8217;t matter what we say. And you there with a young man there with a coffee T-shirt on there. I couldn&#8217;t be more on your side. You&#8217;ve said it very very well. When I walked in the door and the first person I met was you in the black shirt there, at the table, manning the table, and I asked you, &#8220;Excuse me, what what who are you, what are you doing?&#8221; And you told me, &#8220;I&#8217;m here volunteering to take care of people signing in for their questions.&#8221; And when I asked you, &#8220;Well, who did you volunteer for?&#8221; And you immediately said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know.&#8221; And I said, &#8220;You don&#8217;t know?&#8221; I said, &#8220;Why?
