They provide better wireless service to residents and businesses of the City of Salem. This petition is to add one additional node making it the fourth in Salem. They will be on existing lite poles similar to wireless DAS not at top and radio cabinet at the top of the pole. Councillor McCarthy - asked the locations for the other three in the City. Mr. Sousa - stated the locations are at 37 Ward Street, 167 Lafayette Street and 82-84 Congress Street. These were approved as grants of location and approved by City Council in 2012 but they were different from what is proposed now. They were typical wooden poles. At the new locations they have a more decorative utility structure sot that’s why we are proposing installation as in the plans. Appearing Opposed: Mary Madore – 31 Forrester Street – I did receive notice and I am against this. This pole is in neighbor’s yard. I think it’s inappropriate in a residential area. Councillor McCarthy - asked do you have an artistic rendition on how it will look? A picture was passed to the Councillor. Councillor Ryan - asked why can’t they go on top of a building. Mr. Sousa - stated the difference with this system is designed to be constructed on a utility structure. Wireless networks is initially through macro sites. There are gaps in the system from a radio frequency and this is to bring additional capacity. Councillor Ryan – asked how do you figure out where the gaps are. Mr. Sousa – stated we work with the utility companies Councillor McCarthy - stated this is a great explanation so you fill a void in the locations. Mr. Sousa – the carriers are coming to us saying that they have gaps or lack of capacity this additional DAS will help that. Councillor McCarthy - asked does it produce any sound or anything negative. Mr. Sousa – stated that the antennas are small, they have low power and no noise issues 289 CITY OF SALEM JANUARY 14, 2016 REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL Councillor Lovely – asked are there any host fees to the City? Do other communities have any host fees? Mr. Sousa - stated the is not familiar with Salem’s fees. The Federal Government sets the fees but he is not privy to what they are. The company does pay fees to other communities. Councillor Dibble – stated his concern was the proximity to residences, what about electro- magnetic field, what is projected by these units. Mr. Sousa – We did a study to make sure we are compliant with FCC Standards for radio emissions. Councillor Dibble – asked what is this one you are proposing emitting? Mr. Sousa – stated that he is not an engineer, he doesn’t know the power output but could provide the Council with an analysis. Councillor Sargent – stated on behalf of the City Electrician I am requesting that these petitions are referred to the Committee on Government Services. I thought these were upgrades from existing companies not new. Are there any other companies that could come in. Mr. Sousa – There is another petitioner on the agenda. There are two big providers CrownCastle that builds DAS networks and ATC Outdoor DAS that provide WIFI DAS. Extenet is a neutral host provider for Verizon, T-Mobile, ATT and Sprint. Councillor Sargent – Stated there is a new power plant with a 150 ft. stack, why can’t it go on the stack. Mr. Sousa – stated he couldn’t speak for the other companies only for Extenet. This is to provide supplementary service close to the user for wireless devices.
