The meeting was called to order by President Donald Sanders at 4:00 p.m.

The purpose of the meeting was to discuss and vote on a proposal by T-Mobile Corp. to install a cell phone tower at the Pembroke Meadows Recreation Center (pool).  Negotiations have been ongoing with T-Mobile since early June.  The members of the Pembroke Meadows negotiating team were: Donald Sanders, PMCL President, James Hall, PMCL Treasurer, Earl Lee, PMRC board member, and Bob Berry, PMRC board member.  Also at this meeting was John Hitch, T-Mobile site representative and Eric Swanson, T-Mobile RF engineer.  

The scope of the contract was explained to the civic league members along with the financial aspects of the property lease. 

Many questions were asked.  The major concern of several members was the potential health and safety issues relating to the emissions from the tower.  The T-Mobile representatives explained that we are within federal guidelines for tower emissions.  In fact, this tower would only emit less than 1% of the federal guidelines. 

At the conclusion of the discussion, Jim Price made a motion to contract with T-Mobile to lease the property to T-Mobile for construction of the cell phone tower.  Clif Furedy seconded the motion. The motion passed with a vote of 51 for, 3 against and 3 abstentions.

The meeting was adjourned at 4:45 p.m.
