Warning:
External AII,
Email We are all now very concerned about the Verizon cell tower after reading numerous medical
journal reports and lawsuits regarding the radiation from cell towers. If you look at the
radiation radius (around 500 ft.)from the cell tower in Prospect Ct. you will see that many families will be
affected by this installation. Are we getting petitions signed, we are noticing that almost all of these
households have younger children. We do know the severity of the long term effects with radiation exposure to
children as their immune system and bodies are not quite ready to handle this.
It is unbelievable to me that during the pandemic and protests as families struggle to make ends meet, live in
quarantine and struggle to stay healthy that now we are dealing with a Verizon cell tower
installation. Everyone in Prospect Ct and in the radius are beyond frustrated with this and will go as far as they
can stop the addition of this cell tower.
We are also prepared to go on social media and Nextdoor.com and report what is going on.
Please let me know how I can help here. thanks.

Dear Mr. Kim:
I hope you and your family are doing well and keeping safe. I am sorry you are experiencing this issue with the
installation of the small cell wireless antenna.
Under this current Administration, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have vowed to cut regulations and
free up spectrum to facilitate the launch of 5G technology. The FCC has ruled that 5G is safe and is working on many
regulatory changes designed to hasten carriers' 5G rollouts, which place limits on local control over deployment. Local
municipalities can regulate aesthetics, but cannot prohibit them all together.
After researching this particular antenna with our Engineering Department, we found that the small cell wireless antenna
that is being installed by Verizon is going in on a utility pole owned by SDG&E. In this case (typical for non-city owned
poles), we only issue a traffic control permit for Verizon's contractor to set up in the City's right-of-way and complete their
installation on the SDG&E's pole.
I strongly recommend you contact Verizon directly to express your concern. The following are some contact names you
may find useful:
Michael J Farraher-
Justin Barry:
z
Annette Mahoney:
Michael is the local Verizon project manager and Justin and Annette are the agents/consultants that actually process the
small cell applications on behalf of Verizon.
Hope this information helps. Please stay safe and feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Mayor Mary
