Duane Baker, Assistant to the City Manager, stated all the existing cell towers in Rancho Cucamonga
currently cause no interference problems with the system.
Councilmember Willlares asked if we really need this ordinance because it makes sense that we would
not do anything to cause interference.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated it is not uncommon to have communication towers once in awhile
interfere with other systems. He stated although we do not have that happen in Rancho Cucamonga,
we do know that from the WECA experience and other situations there are conflicts and that all of the
providers try to work with each other to resolve those. He stated in this case, having an ordinance on
top of the FCC regulations gives an extra measure of protection for a community before it approves a
tower.
Councilmember Dutton asked if we could really enforce this.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated yes we can.
Mayor Alexander asked if we are within our legal jurisdiction to approve this ordinance.
Jim Markman, City Attorney, stated yes we are.

he did not feel the school district had given enough information to the community and that is why he
brought this up to make sure people in this area are aware of what is going on. He stated he has told
people that the school district is willing to hear their concerns. He stated he was also concerned about
the lighting at the stadium.
