Telecommunications-tower hearing untabled, then tabled to Sept. 15 after town-hall notice
Summary
The Commission un-tabled SU-002-2025 for a proposed NextLink tower and then tabled formal action to Sept. 15, 2025; a town-hall meeting in Ada with a NextLink representative was announced to allow citizen input.
Commissioner Duane Morris moved to untable SU-002-2025, a proposal for a telecommunications tower, and the motion passed 3-0. Morris said a town-hall meeting would take place that night in Ada and a representative from NextLink would be present to answer questions. County Appraiser Truette McQueen advised that "there must be a valid reason to deny the tower."
After discussion about location and citizen outreach, Commissioner Carla Grund moved to table SU-002-2025 until Sept. 15 at 11 a.m.; that motion passed 3-0. The Commission scheduled the follow-up hearing to allow more public input and to gather information needed to determine whether the county has legal grounds to deny the special use request.
