Take Action, Protect Marin
Make Marin County Even Better – With a Simple Email
Following are a few top-level highlights and strategic features that protect both Langley residents and city government officials from any telecom industry court challenge. You can read the in-depth analysis HERE.
Some may seem counterintuitive – but they work, which is why we’ve hired Mr. Campanelli to draft a similar ordinance that is specific to Marin County:
1.) No health aspects are mentioned in the code (because health risks are not an acceptable defense under the telecom ordinance of 1996) – yet it protects health.
2.) The code indirectly screens out careless (or indiscriminate) placements (like residential utility poles) without trying to stop legitimate tele-commerce. (An approach that would be thrown out in court.)
3.) Setback restrictions and indemnification requirements use language that draws on successful legal precedents, making it easy for courts to rule in the city’s favor.
Now it’s our turn to make sure Marin County has the same protections in place as
Langley, WA, and Petaluma, the town of Sonoma, Belvedere, and Mill Valley in CA
Let’s empower our supervisors to take back local control of planning and safety from Big Wireless.
CALL TO RESIDENTS OF MARIN COUNTY
Write a short email to your District’s Supervisor
Tell your supervisor that:
You support the 5G small cell antenna ordinance drafted by attorney Andrew Campanelli, which will:
• Strengthen Marin County’s existing Title 22 ordinance;
• Give County officials the tools they need to refute telecom industry lawsuit threats with confidence; and
• Responsibly protect Marin County residents, wildlife, and the environment, including the vulnerable, unspoiled charm of Marin’s hidden villages, historic towns, rolling hills and agricultural lands we all cherish.
If other than Supervisor Rodoni / District 4, please cc him on your email as Dennis is also president of the Board of Supervisors this year.
