Hebron council forms Cell Tower subcommittee, appoints five members
Summary
The Hebron Town Council on March 5 voted unanimously to create a Cell Tower Committee and appointed five community members to the subcommittee; the panel will draft its formal charge and hold an initial meeting in mid-April.
The Hebron Town Council voted unanimously March 5 to establish a Cell Tower subcommittee and appointed five residents to the panel.
Council member (speaker 5) moved that “the Hebron Town Council establish a subcommittee to pursue a cell tower in the town of Hebron and that we appoint five individuals to serve on that subcommittee,” and the council approved the motion after a minor wording amendment to reference cell towers in the plural. The council then appointed Craig Bryant, Peter Starkel, Claudia Riley, Ryan Herrick and Mark Elliott to the new group.
Why it matters: the subcommittee will evaluate potential telecommunication needs, meet with stakeholders and return a recommended charge and timeline to the full council. Council members said they want the group to begin meeting quickly so it can assess options and report back; a first meeting was described as likely in mid-April.
The council agreed the subcommittee should prepare a draft charge for the council’s review; the chair asked that the agenda identify the item in future meetings as “Cell Towers subcommittee update.”
What happened at the vote: Council members were recorded as voting in favor by voice. The motion passed without recorded opposition or abstentions. The council discussed appointing the named members at the same meeting and agreed to finalize the formal charge at the next meeting.
Next steps: The subcommittee will hold its initial meeting, set its charge and then return its recommendations for council approval. The council will post meeting details once the subcommittee selects dates and times.
