a. Part-time Planner, Colin Jung provided background on the Wireless Facilities Master Plan .
He provided history on the cell towers which in the 1970's were located near freeways or
major aiierial places . The first wireless ordinance was established in 1996. City staff and
the TICC were tasked with creating the Wireless Facilities Master Plan, which was
completed in 2003 . It was possibly the first master plan created in the US regarding this
topic. The TICC conducted a wireless coverage survey in 2007 based on City Council
direction. As a result of the survey zoning ordinances were modified to achieve the desired
results. The changes included, defining poor coverage within the City, allow more facilities
to have coverage that were previously prohibited, the TICC would have alarger role, which
then led to the forming of a subcommittee. The direction that this master plan is headed was
also discussed, this included a discussion regarding the changes at State and Federal level.
Commission Chair Livingood requested a status update on the wireless coverage at City
Hall. Mr. Jung informed him that they have approved a Verizon Wireless tower. AT&T
would also like to be on the tower, they do not need a pennit, but the City will need a lease
agreement from both Verizon and AT&T. Commission Chair Livingood said that he would
like to meet with Colin to discuss his meeting with AT&T. It was also pointed out that Apple
is implementing a DAS for Apple Campus 2. City Council has stated that they will fund a
survey for voice and data coverage, capacity, and depth. Commission Chair Livingood had
asked for the names of independent consultants.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
4. The TICC received good coverage from Colin regarding Cellular. Discussion surrounding this
will continue.
5 . Regarding the topic of phishing, there has been no further progress on the community outreach on
security. When targeting high school students they wanted to educate the students on 3D printing
technology. There was an idea to arrange a summer camp around this topic . They were thinking
of working through Recreation and Community Services in order to schedule the camp. The
TICC is concerned that liability might be an issue. Other factors need to be taken into
consideration, which include location for the camp, adult supervision, and liability.
6. Regarding the Hackathon, Commissioner Broadwater decided to put the idea on hold for right
now, he is trying to find the right prompt for it.
