GENERAL BUSINESS
1. Application from T -Mobile 121 West Electron Road Suite 330, Draper UT 84020 for a Conditional
Use Permit for construction of an 80' wireless facility at Chubbuck Elementary School, 600 West
Chastain Drive, Chubbuck ID 83202.
This item was tabled from the September 9, 2014 meeting.
Anderson asked if any members had been contacted verbally or received written information
outside the public hearing. A number of members had been. Anderson's second question for the
board was if the board felt like they could make an impartial unprejudiced decision. Members
answered yes. The information that was presented to the board members cannot be entered
into the record because it was not presented in a public meeting. That is both the information
from Rebecca Berls and the School District 25 letter.
Anderson asked Andrus to inform the board what they need to base their decision on. Andrus
read from the city code book Title 18.28.040C, the 16 conditions in Criteria and Standards.
Anderson asked the commission if there was any consideration to reopen the Public Hearing by
republishing the notice.
Burch stated he was not in attendance at the September meeting and would not want to make a
decision tonight.
Holmes informed the board the need to protect the process even if it delays the decision. By
reopening the Public Hearing and re -advertising there will be no question that everything has
been considered properly in this forum so no outside influences could have happened.
Nield stated he was also not in attendance at the September meeting and would want to be able
to make an informed decision.

presented procedure reminders and what the role of the board members is. He mentioned to
members that on The Association of Idaho Cities website there are videos and manuals.
