Resident raises concerns about cell towers, data centers and House Bill 2289
Summary
A resident flagged wireless-hazard awareness, warned that House Bill 2289 could limit local zoning authority over cell towers, and urged officials to watch for proposed data‑collection centers.
Kate Hurd told the board that April is wireless hazardous awareness month and urged awareness about telecommunications siting. She said House Bill 2289 "looks to take away municipalities ability to say anything," and expressed concern that local zoning now may not restrict where cell towers can be placed; she also warned about data collection centers that could gather personal data.
Hurd urged the board to review existing zoning language and to coordinate with neighboring villages such as Philmont, which she said has no local siting rules for cell towers recorded in these minutes. The board did not record a formal response or direction to staff during the meeting minutes.
