Council considers single Verizon small cell at Stone Point to boost coverage for spring sports
Summary
Council reviewed a revised Verizon right-of-way agreement restricting small-cell placement to a single pole near Stone Point parking to improve mobile coverage for games and support wireless security; staff said construction timing is pending but the company is ready to proceed.
Staff presented a revised right-of-way agreement from Verizon that would permit a single small-cell pole in the Stone Point Field right-of-way to improve cellular coverage there.
"You just wanna have one focal point down there," a council member said while discussing limiting installations to a single pole so the town does not permit small cells broadly across municipal right-of-way. Public-safety staff and recreation department representatives said better coverage would help with emergency calls during spring sports and could support planned wireless security measures.
Council asked staff to confirm a construction schedule and to include placement details in the agreement; no final vote was recorded and the matter was left for final review and drafting of the permit language.
