| Flipping thru the channels today, I noticed that ECTV has a special BOA meeting listed for tomorrow night at 6:00 PM. Anybody have any ideas? I couldn't find an agenda for it on the city web site. |

| Are you a little sleepy tetris? The agenda is the post before yours and it's a regular meeting. Yesterday was a holiday and city hall was closed so the meeting is tonight. |

Justme,
Tonight's regularly scheduled meeting is a common council meeeting; the agenda for that meeting got posted in this thread by mistake. See the program schedule on ECTV to check out what I'm referring to. |

Tetris, this is from the Mirror. I did'nt think this was a proven factor:
There is a special BOA meeting tonight @ 6PM 2/19/2008.
It is about NEXT G Networks installing Cell Antennas on telephone poles at 20 locations city wide. These 20 locations are in our neighborhoods, and it is not good for our health. These will reach out and touch us 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year. That's you, your wife, your kids, unborn kids, your goldfish your dog and anyone else living in your house.
Either show up tonight or call your Alderman to tell them not to allow this, fight it.
There are plenty of sites where you can lookup EFFECTS FROM RADIATION EXPOSURE try googling it
here is one

Why do they have to put them on Everett polls? Geesh, it seems like they just want to dump everything in this city.

Thanks, Tails; I came across that posting as well.
I recalled that there was an item on the agenda at one meeting about Next G possibly suing the city over the BOA's denial of a license for this installation, so I looked up the particulars. Next G's original application for a license was rejected at the BOA meeting on 11/13/2007 even though it came back from the licensing committee with a favorable recommendation. The meeting report on the city web site does not indicate the vote tally, only the rejection. The former city solictor notified the BOA of this potential law suit at 12/27/2007 meeting. So we'll have to wait and see what comes out of this. |

| Everyone we need action, you need to call the Alderman and the Mayor and tell them we do not want these on the poles and attend the meeting. Once they are in they will never come out. |

| I've already left a message for my Alderman. I can not believe what I am reading. The BOA rejects a license and now the city is in jeopardy of a lawsuit! Just who are these people and who do they think they are wanting to come into our city and place these antenna's that have a contributing cancer factor. The BOA should be able do refuse any license they want without worrying about a lawsuit. Put it in THEIR backyards. |

| I meant to say "could" have a contributing cancer factor. It's not a risk that I would want to take on my family. |

| I can't believe Carlo stated on TV that the city can't win in court on this issue (Next G). I am also surprised that Carlo seems to be talking in favor. |
