The Waite Hill Village Council read Ordinance No. 2025-10 for a second time on June 9, 2025. The ordinance would authorize the mayor to enter into an agreement with Northstar Towers II, LLC to option and lease a portion of village real property for construction and maintenance of wireless telecommunications facilities. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that council adopt the ordinance; third reading is scheduled for July 14, 2025.
During the public comment period, residents Andy Legros and Chris Legros recommended the village consider microcells to address wireless coverage problems in parts of the village. Andy Legros and Chris Legros are listed in the minutes as village residents who spoke specifically about the cell tower matter. The minutes do not record a council response to that suggestion at the meeting.
The ordinance remains at second reading; council set a third reading for July 14 where members may vote to adopt, amend, or defer further action.
