SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In anticipation of heavy tourist traffic to view the solar eclipse and the stress that will put on the communications infrastructure, the Office of Emergency Management would like to
place a temporary cell phone tower within the City limits to increase the capacity of the cellular network. Under Idaho Code 50-302 (1) cities are allowed to make resolutions to promote
the general welfare of the public. It is not uncommon for residents to have only a cellular telephone to contact emergency services and adding this additional capacity is in the best
interest of public safety.
The temporary cell tower would be in operation August 19 through August 21, 2017. The location is still to be determined, but approvals from all required parties are expected to be
received prior to installation.
Resolution 17-17 is attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution 17-17 approving the installation of a temporary cell tower at the McCall Airport or other designated area and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
