Council reviews AT&T plans after SHPO flags possible historic impacts
Summary
City Manager Cummins told the council that SHPO and consulting tribal parties raised potential adverse impacts from AT&T’s plans; Cummins proposed running conduit under the Mt. Baldhead stairs as a mitigation option and asked council to review the staff proposal before AT&T submits revised plans to SHPO.
City Manager Cummins updated the council at the Aug. 21 workshop that the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and consulting tribal parties have identified potential adverse impacts in AT&T’s planned work, and that AT&T is preparing responses and potential mitigation measures.
Cummins asked council to review a staff proposal that would run a conduit under the Mt. Baldhead stairs as one mitigation approach and requested authority to report back to AT&T before revised plans are submitted to SHPO. The workshop record shows the issue was discussed but does not record a final council decision; Cummins asked the council to review the plans so staff could respond to AT&T.
The item reflects ongoing coordination among the city, AT&T, SHPO and consulting tribal parties regarding cultural- and historic-preservation concerns tied to the proposed infrastructure work.
