Mayfield staff greenlight Centerfield antenna; council discusses donated marquee and lighting concerns
Summary
Councilors heard a Centerfield request to install a radio antenna on town-owned White Hills booster property to improve SCADA communications, expressed support, and reviewed a donated marquee sign's placement and concerns about nighttime lighting and dark-sky impacts.
Town staff reported two infrastructure items at the June 3 work meeting: a request from Centerfield to install a radio antenna on town-owned property at the White Hills booster station to improve SCADA communications, and a donated marquee sign (marquis) funded by Doug Meergaard and the Lions Club.
Gary, who spoke about the Centerfield request, said radio communications would be more reliable and more secure than the current internet-based SCADA link and would allow treatment-plant telemetry to continue when internet or power is interrupted. Councilors expressed no objection and suggested staff allow the antenna installation at the existing facility.
On the marquee, councilors discussed sign placement along the north-side sidewalk and potential light‑pollution impacts for neighbors. Members suggested controls such as timers to switch the sign off at night, careful bulb selection and placement to avoid shining into nearby homes, and site tweaks to maintain the town's dark-sky character. The council said it would evaluate placement and timing once the sign is ready for installation.
Neither item generated a formal roll-call vote in the transcript; Council gave staff direction to proceed with technical coordination for the antenna and to evaluate timing and placement for the donated sign.
