Report from Colin Jung on antenna ordinance and consultant - Jung distributed a draft
copy and reviewed contents of the contract with Kreines & Kreines for consulting services for wireless
master planning.
(L.T. Guttadauro arrived- 7:19 p.m.)
Jung asked the commission to get involved in this project by doing a visual preference survey.
He asked them to go out into the community and take digital photos of antennas that they like or
dislike. If they are not able to take a digital photo, note the location of the antenna and e-mail Jung with
the address and he will go out into the field and take the digital photographs. He asked them to look at
antennas and base transmitting stations.
Jung said the plan was to complete the antenna ordinance and master plan in seven to eight
months.
Report on Internet Forum - Part 2. Each commissioner reported on the contacts they made
with prospective speakers for the Intemet Forum. Eggleston spoke to a representative of the ~Home
service. Duhe contacted Pacific Bell but found the person didn't seem knowledgeable about ISDN. It
was suggested he contact the person who spoke at the last forum. Tsui said he contacted Rene Wukich
at Sprint to speak at the Forum. Tsui also said he would contact i-Burst again. Guttadauro was not
successful with attempts to reach a Direct PC representative.
It was suggested that the presenters be given four questions to answer at the Forum. The
Commissioners will draft those questions. It was the consensus of the commission to hold the Internet
Forum on June 6~.
