Commissioners sign ETS paperwork to allow special-use permit application for judicial-complex towers
Summary
The board signed paperwork enabling ETS broadband to apply to the City of Jerome for a special-use permit to place communications towers behind the judicial complex; the board clarified the signature only permits ETS to apply for the permit and is not final approval of construction. Motion passed unanimously.
Matthew McGregor told commissioners ETS broadband needs the county's signature on paperwork so ETS can pursue a special-use permit with the City of Jerome to add communications towers in the judicial complex secure parking area. McGregor said the towers would address point-to-point system instability and that sleds need hard mounting to avoid wind-related outages.
Chairman Ben Crouch moved to sign the paperwork to allow ETS to apply for a special-use permit; the motion passed unanimously. The board emphasized the signature authorizes only the application to the city, not final installation approval, and stipulated that any city permit remains subject to city review.
