Residents ask council to address truck parking and raise concerns about 5G towers and data centers
Summary
Two residents used the public forum to ask the city to check Republic Services trucks parked on neighborhood streets and to raise safety, surveillance and water‑use concerns about 5G towers and data centers placed near homes.
During the second public forum, resident Terry Maria asked the city to investigate Republic Services trucks that linger on neighborhood streets after pickup, saying crews often let vehicles sit for 15–30 minutes and requesting enforcement or inspection. Maria also reminded residents to protect pets during fireworks over the July 4 holiday.
Michael Miatovich raised broader concerns about 5G towers and data centers near neighborhoods, asserting they could cause mental or bodily harm and consume excessive water. He claimed—without citing local permits—that technology exists to scan bodies and read minds and urged public awareness and action. Council thanked both speakers; the remarks were delivered during public comment and no council action was taken at the meeting.
The city did not respond with staff-level findings during the meeting; council members noted the comments and closed the forum.
