Vice Chairman Robinson III opened the public hearing.

with Inew FCC regulations regarding the time limits allowed for the approval of permits for small
wireless facilities. Mr. Stursma displayed examples of small wireless facilities and offered a brief
olveirview, of their form and function. He added that the current process to approve a new wireless
facility requires a Special Use Permit, and that process is not timely enough to abide by the FCC
guidielines.
Vice, Chairman Robinson III called for proponents and opponents. Seeing no further public input,
Vice Chairman Robinson III closed the public hearing and called for Commission Discussion.
Mr. Carson asked about the function of small wireless facilities. Mr. Stursma notes that small
wireless facilities are meant to function similarly to a wireless telecommunications tower; however,
small wireless, facilities utilize a network of many small antennas placed close together.
Mr. Carson asked whether the City would be compensated by telecommunications companies for
the use of public rilght- of- way. Mr. Stursma noted that there is an
opportunity for franchise
agreements for the use of public right-of-way; however, the FCC places limits on how much a
municipality may charge. He noted that the new regulations are an industry wide effort to make
the implementation of small wireless facilities a simpler process.
Mr. Carson asked who owns the light poles where small wireless facilities
may be placed. Mr.
Stursima noted that OPPD owns the light poles, but the City owns the right-of-
way, He added that
the City currently leases antenna space on its water towers to telecommunications companies.
Mr. Carson asked whether these changes in process would speed up the approval process for
small wireless facilities. Mr. Stursma explained that this change would require approval for a small
wireless, facility on an existing pole within 60 days of application, and approval for a new pole
w ithin 90 days of application. He noted that this is similar to the process for other types of utilities
located in the, public right-of-way.

Mr. Carson asked whether the City has received any applications for small wireless facilities.
Assistant Planning Director Travis Gibbons explained that the City had not yet received any such
application; however, he anticipates that they will soon be arriving.
Assistant City Attorney Amber Rupiper added that the fees collected for franchise agreements to
occupy, public right- of-way are not a revenue source, but instead are meant to cover the cost of
staff time and other City resources utilized in the installation of such facilities. She added that
regulatory access also encourages companies to utilize public right-of-way appropriately.
Ms. Sunda asked whether the installation of small wireless facilities would
help bring 5G to the
area. Mr. Gibbons responded in the affirmative.
Withl no further discussion, Motion was made by Ms. Sotak, seconded by Mr. Wilson to

Rev. Stat. § 19- 904 and current Planning Department practices. He explained that Neb. Rev. Stat.
19- 19014 requires public hearings for changes to regulations, and Mixed Use Agreements and
amendments thereto affect site regulators. He noted that the current ordinance is not wrong in
not requiring a public hearing; however,
holding a public hearing for Mixed Use Agreements is
best practice and adds confidence to the process.
Vice, Chairman Robinson III called for proponents and opponents.
Seeing no further public input,
Vice Chairman Robinson III closed the public hearing and called for Commission Discussion.
Mr. Wilson asked how this change would affect developers. Mr. Stursma explained that this new

information be provided up front. Ms. Rupiper reiterated that this process should provide
developers more confidence in the legality and defensibility of the process.
