The Sherman Oaks Land Use Committee took up the T-Mobile Albers St. controversy last Thursday night, passing a resolution objecting to the Above Ground Facility powering the site on the grounds T-Mobile failed to follow required specifications and procedures.
Council District 2 representative Paul Krekorian has been very engaged on this issue. As Krekorian mentioned in last week’s Sunroom Desk interview, he called on the LA City Attorney’s office to expedite a report to city council on tools and policies that could be used to better regulate cell sites in Los Angeles. At the Sherman Oaks meeting, one of his staff members announced that they had received a response from the City Attorney’s office saying the report would be issued in about two weeks, after the holidays.
Public comments at the Thursday meeting made clear that few if any residents received notifications of the impending installation (Krekorian also mentioned in last week’s interview that current notification requirements are very inadequate, as they left no opportunity for residents to contact his office with concerns).
