I didn’t hear about the construction of the cell tower until I read about it on the Fairfield mom’s yahoo group.   I couldn’t find further information anywhere!   I called the City Hall and they had no information.  I asked to speak to the assistant to the mayor.  They gave me a 4-digit number to call the mayor myself.   Hello, small town!

I then called him at his job.  No, not the job of being Mayor, the job he does for money.  AND I only need four digits because all the “old” numbers start with 472.  You just KNOW that.

What is weirder, is he calls you back.  You want weirder?  He calls me to follow up.

So here is what I know about the tower:

US Cellular has agreed to stop construction at the original site and look into a proposed site further away from population.  They are taking another week to do this. There isn’t anything the city can do to stop the construction of a cell tower because they followed an ordinance and have the permit.

The mayor is putting the specific ordnance on his agenda for the Monday city council meeting.  This is so we can prevent this from happening again.  The mayor will assign this task to a committee.
