City Council

From: marilyn To: Mary Gourley Subject: letter to City Council for September, 20, 2022 meeting Date: Tuesday, September 20, 2022 4:57:43 PM Dear Ms. Gourley, Please pass on to City Council today. Marilyn To the five City Council Members, In the 25 years that I've lived within the city limits, in order to promote a healthy and natural environment for our citizens. I've seen strong, effective opposition to unnecessary EMFs, and as a result my park, Fircrest offers to sensitive individuals an oasis as a result of your intervention in year 2019. Thank you! In our history, Sebastopol rejected WIFI through out the City. Sponsored by the City, the bimonthly Next S.T.E.P. Newsletter in water bills since the year 2000 empowers our citizens with information to make non-toxic choices. So today, I'm asking my City to make another healthy choice by rejecting "smart" meter technology, intervening with PG&E, to help keep seniors in my park and the rest of Sebastopol's citizens of any age from needless radiation which would exacerbate any chronic and acute health problems. PG&E threatens to switch all our brand new analog gas and electric meters in the coming several weeks. And PG&E forces us to pay opt-out fees NOT to have the harmful meters attached to our homes. I feel this is equivalent to extortion! I oppose such fees! Even if I do end up without a "smart" meter attached to my home, I'd still be exposed to EMFs from any uninformed or frugal or unaware neighbors who do have "smart" meters. I appreciate anything that you can do. Marilyn Madrone
