APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES:
Anderson entertained a motion to approve the minutes as mailed. Mendenhall moved the
minutes of April 14, 2015 meeting be approved as mailed; Horner seconded. The full authority
approved.
GENERAL BUSINESS:
1. Approval of Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Decision on T -Mobile cell tower.
Holmes explained Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law should be done with any decision the
commission makes. Since they are time consuming to create, Holmes took the approach to do FOFCOL
when there is a controversial decision that could go to litigation. When the council looks at the Findings
of Fact they know what Land Use Commission decided.
Anderson asked if there was any discussion. Anderson entertained a motion to approve or deny. Neild
made the motion to approve Findings of Facts as outlined. Stoddard seconded. Fencing and screening
was discussed. The motion in last month's meeting indicated that city code must be followed in terms of
screening and facility construction of the enclosure. City code 18.13.110 paragraph 11 was read.
Anderson stated there is a motion on the floor. All voted in favor. Motion carries.
2. Commissioner Orientation
