Corrections for the December 18, 1997 minutes:
Page 1, Paragraph 8 - Loso made a motion to delay part of the Cloverdale area of the
project as petitioned, (East Able Street in the Cloverdale area and .. 8th Avenue SE:>.. and 101h
.^.venue 8E), for one year, subject to verifying the validity of the petition. The motion was
. seconded by Niedenfuer. Discussion - Loso generally felt the project should be carried out as
proposed but was sensitive to the wishes of the property owners and reacted to their petition by
I delaying the Able Street and 8th Avenue SE portion of the Cloverdale area. When this portion is
improved in a future year the costs may be higher. Sending an informational letter to the
I Cloverdale property owners explaining the status of the proposed improvement and requesting a
response was discussed.
and page 2 paragraph 5 - Loso made a motion to approve a resolution Ordering Improvement and
Preparation of Plans for the 1998 Street Improvement Project, omitting the west half of the east-
I west alley in Block 9, Original Townsite,-tfle Able Street and 8th Avenue SE in the Cloverdale
Addition area, and College Avenue North from Date Street to the Railroad tracks, after
consideration of the feasibility report and information received at the public hearing, the project
is necessary, cost effective and feasible. The motion was seconded by Ehlert.

,(:enneth 1. Hiemenz While attending the League of Minnesota Cities conference
for New Officials session there was discussion regarding
committees. The trainer pointed out, as does their
:LERKI "Research Memo for City Officials", that the council should
t\.DMINISTRATOR not set up committees on the basis of line functions, e.g.
hehel Stapleton streets, sidewalks, water, etc. , since this is likely to
involve them in administrative matters. They stated it is
better to have as few standing committees as possible, and
:OUNCILORS set up special committees [could be a task force] on
30b Loso particular subjects when necessary. These special
:ory Ehlert committees shall consist of as many members and perform
(:en Twit such duties, as the council may require, and expire when
'Iiedenfuer they have completed the task. An other important point was
"Any matter brought before the council for consideration
may be referred by the presiding officer to the appropriate
committee or to a special committee which the presiding
officer appoints for a written report and recommendation
before it is considered by the council as a whole. f:.
maioritv of the members of the committee shall siqn the
report and file it with the èlerk/Administrator prior to
~
the council meetinq at which it is to be submitted.
Minority reports may be submitted."
I have discussed the changes with the Department Heads,
Dick, Jim, Rachel, the City Engineer, Leo Sadlo and the
Area Planning Office ( APO) . My aim is for departments to
function as they are designed to, under the direction of
the council and the department heads. By Ordinance, the
Mayors Office oversees the function of the departments and
provides direction to City employees where emergency action
is necessary and the convening of a Council meeting is
impossible. The departments have basically functioned this
way the past year and have not experienced any problems.

RE: Proposed wireless telecommunications antenna facility installation on the St.
Joseph Water Tower
. Dear Sirs and Madams:
At the suggestion of Clerk/Administrator Rachel Stapleton, I am writing you to request
the consideration of a wireless telecommunications antenna facility on the St. Joseph
Water Tower located on Elm Street. Sprint PCS is in the process of expanding its
Personal Communications Services (PCS) from the Twin Cities to the St. Cloud area.
Included in this expansion are the communities of St. Cloud, St. Joseph, Sartell and
Sauk Rapids, as well as the surrounding Townships. Currently, Sprint PCS is in
discussions with the Cities' of St. Cloud and Sartell for use of their water towers as
antenna facility sites. Within the past two years, Sprint PCS has utilized over 60 water
towers in 45 different communities as part of the Minneapolis/St. Paul development of
their PCS system.
Specific equipment and space needs would be as follows:
. Ability to mount twelve (12) panel antennas on the fluted "neck" of the water tower.
The antennas would be grouped in three (3) sectors of four (4) panels each. The
sectors would be oriented at 0, 120 and 240 degrees true North. Current plans are
for a mounting height of 100 feet above ground level (fAGL). The panels are
approximately six (6) feet in length and eight (8) inches wide.
. . 300 square feet (15'x20') of either interior water tower space or outside area for the
location of two (2) Ba,se Transceiver Station (BTS) units. The BTS units provide for
the backhauling of telephone traffic received via the antenna's into the local
.
. telephone system. The BTS units are approximately 76"W x 63"H x 40"0 and weigh ·
3,250 pounds. If located inside the water tower base, Sprint PCS is able to put the
BTS units on a raised platform - thereby preserving floor space which may be
needed for City storage.
. The system requires the availability of power and telephone at the site. Should the
City agree to an installation, Sprint PCS will pay all costs associated with bringing
power and telephone to the site. Additionally, separate metering will ensure that no
costs will be borne by the City for Sprint PCS' consumption of either of the utilities
on the site.
I am enclosing information on Sprint PCS and Personal Communications Services
(PCS) for your review. Additionally, I have included photos of an installation done on
the Vadnais Heights water tower and interior BTS equipment shown on a raised
platform (photo taken at the City of Lino Lakes water tower). It is my understanding that
Clerk/Administrator Stapleton will be placing this item on the City Council Agenda for
January 8, 1998 so that I may have an opportunity to discuss the proposal in further
detail and answer any questions that may arise.
Should you require any additional information prior to the meeting on the 8th, please do
not hesitate to give me a call at 612,686.2669. ·

General Information - Sprint PCS and Personal Communication Services (PCS)
-- -" - ", -, "
Introduction
Sprint PCS is a participant in the Personal Communications Services (PCS) market. It
is an alliance which consists of the following four major corporations: 1) Sprint
Corporation; 2) Tele-Communications Incorporated (TCI); 3) Cox Communications;
and 4) Comcast Corporation. The purpose of this alliance is to provide consumers with
a variety of telecommunication services including local telephone service, long distance
service, wireless communications and cable services. PCS is the result of a growing
demand for improved wireless telecommunication services, and a new infrastructure is
needed to meet this growing demand.
Background
. In early 1995, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) auctioned licenses for
the 1850-1990 MHz band of the radio spectrum within the 51 Major Trading Areas
(MTA's) of the United States for use by Personal Communications Services. Sprint
PCS purchased licenses within 29 of these 51 defined MTA's. These licenses, in
combination with the licenses awarded to its affiliates and other providers, will enable
Sprint PCS to offer seamless Personal Communications Services virtually anywhere in
the country.
What is PCS?
PCS technology combines voice and data services using digital interfacing equipment.
This facilitates a higher quality transmission with greater voice clarity than currently
used by cellular technology. PCS will give consumers more freedom with respect to
their telecommunication needs. PCS will offer enhanced service features such as
portable phones, pagers, facsimile transmission, and wireless voice service at a lower
cost than existing cellular service. PCS is on the cutting edge of the wireless revolution.
Services of PCS include:
· Local and long distance telephone services and cable services;
· AII-in-one Wireless Communication Services;
· Portable phones, pagers and fax transmission;
. · Numeric paging on the phone's screen;
~
· Interactive paging (mo-way paging that allows the sender to track where the ·
message is sent and when it has been received);
· Voice-mail service;
· Caller 10;
· International roaming capability;
· Reduced power needs (allows smaller units and longer battery life); and
· In the future, PCS will allow computer use and video imaging over the PCS nemork
Benefits of PCS over Cellular
PCS has several advantages over existing cellular telephone service, including better
service quality through the use of digital technology, more compact radio equipment,
increased mobility, enhanced service features and price.
Digital Technology: Digital technology facilitates cleaner voice
quality, but more importantly, clean data communication. A PCS
customer will be able to communicate through voice and data
simultaneously using the same handset without interference to either
activity. In addition, computer users will be able to run applications and
retrieve data faster from remote locations using their handset. PCS
technology also provides less static and fading, and there are fewer ·
dropped or lost calls.
Improved Security: Calls in digital format cannot be overheard with
the kind of simple scanners currently used to eavesdrop on cellular calls.
Although it is technically possible to eavesdrop on a digitally transmitted
call, the effort would require special equipment and an advanced technical
knowledge of the system.
Improved Equipment: PCS will utilize smaller antennae and handsets
along with a more advanced telecommunication technology that will result
favorable rates to consumers. Handsets will be lighter and use longer
lasting batteries than the current cellular "flip" phones. Because of Sprint
PCS' assigned radio spectrum, there will be more antenna's. However,
every effort has been made to locate equipment on existing structures
rather than building free-standing towers.
Increased Mobility: With PCS, mobility means seamless roaming
across existing cellular and land line service areas. A PCS handset can
be taken anywhere and be expected to function the same as in the
coverage area of the original service provider.
One Telephone Number: Wìth PCS, one Personal Communications ·
Number (PCN) will be assigned to each individual user. Today, when a
person changes their residence, the old land line telephone number is
< .
. frequently lost because these numbers are assigned and based on
geographic area. Cellular telephone numbers are also lost when carriers
are switched because cellular service companies are provided a limited
range of numbers, and the numbers have to be recycled or reused. A
PCN asso~iat~~a telephone number with a person, regardless of where
he or she is located, and regardless of who is the service provider.
Lower Cost for Service: PCS will be cheaper in the long term because
it will utilize digital technology. Initially, the cost for the service and
handsets will be similar to that of cellular. However, with increased
demand, both carriers and manufacturers will be able to lower their price
significantly. Eventually, PCS service will be less than cellular and will be
close to the cost of wireline telephone service.
Increasing Demand
Today, cellular telephone systems in the US are expanding at the rate of over28,OOO
new subscriptions per day, far beyond the growth rate of new subscriptions for wireline
telephone service. The popularity of cellular telephone service is due to the freedom,
mobility and enhanced productivity that it provides. No longer are people tied to fixed
. telephones or pay phones. Yet cellular telephone services are just one step toward
another type of service, one expected to revolutionize telecommunications. The next
rung on the evolutionary ladder is PCS.
