PUBLIC HEARINGS Mansface Radio Tower Special Use Permit Mayor Castillon opened the hearing at 8:06 pm. Ms. Leigh said the police department is requesting a radio tower be located on the top of Mansface. It requires review of the Planning and Zoning District and then council. The planning and zoning commission reviewed the request and determined that the public safety need for this outweighed any visual issues that may come up. Chief Steffen said they are requesting this for the Wyolink inoperability project. This is the trunk system for all public safety entities across all of Wyoming. With the geographic position of Green River there are low level areas that do not have full radio coverage.
