is there anybody here representing nextg? you also have three minutes. >> thank you, commissioners, for this opportunity to address this issue. my name is natasha, and i am the director of government relations and the california area for nextg. excuse me. projection, please? to show you what we are talking about, this is advertising for sprint. this just came out because they're currently launching their 4g network, in san francisco. we are a corporation in california. the device that was constructed and 36 ashbury is going to be used in support of this network launch, which, you can see, has just been launched, so there has been a lot going on in the city in the buildup to this. i have reviewed all of the documents for this location including what we submitted come everything that was required under the 2007 guidelines, including one item, so, today, i checked to make sure that what we build looks the same as what was permitted by the department of public works, so there, that is the actual construction of what was built. an

if i were a good citizen and i am nextg, it would seem that i do the minimum amount of out of reach, and the minimum amount about reach would be to have people -- i don't know the minimum fee, but i would say anybody who lives within 10 houses of this equipment certainly would have the right to know we're going to be working on a pole in front of your house, it may and may issue because you will be able to park there, and concerns about safety issues and let me dispel those concerns if that is possible. i am leaning heavily -- i do not know where i will hang my hat on how we get there -- but i am leaning heavily toward allowing jurisdiction, because i think it is reasonable that when equipment is placed in front of your house or a proximate to your house that you have the right to know about it. and i am worried about the retroactivity issue. but it seems like very good legislation that supervisor avalos is proposing. it is possibly known to nextg that was in the pipeline, and there is a little sense there is some rush to judgment, but if they had reached out to neighbors, i would no

dpw said that they could tell companies like nextg take your stuff off, but i think we all know that is going to create political opposition from them. they're not on to what to. they will say, we have this stuff up there, it is expensive, we don't want to take it down. that is still an issue, even if this city has jurisdiction to take down later. one thing i think that often is not brought up by the city attorney with these kinds of antennas about jurisdiction that your board has, the planning commission has, it is you have the right to deny the antennas based on the legislation that is in this city ordinances, based on the decision. some of the things that come up, if a company sues the city, based on the federal telecommunications act -- for example, talking about radio frequency emissions -- in that same law, it says if you talk about -- if they show it was not necessary, if they did not show they had a listed alternative locations, you are not prohibiting service if you deny the antenna. i think it is important as sometimes that gets brought up, about what the federal law is, be

these devices were rushed into place by nextg even when it something was going to be enacted. we ask only that our concerns be heard through the appeal process. thank you. >> next speaker. >> hi. my name is jeff cooper. i am also note actually be requester. because the cars are so intertwined, i thought i would take time to comment. -- because our causes are so intertwined. the request here is based on common sense. without any sort of notification, we were effectively denied our right for an appeal. an analogy that i have been thinking of is that it is like telling the psittacine you have a right to vote, but we are not going to tell you when the election is -- is that it is like telling a citizen and you have a right to vote. "hello, has there been a permanent pulled on my dress -- my address?" i just feel that our rights as citizens to appeal a permit that is on our street or our address should be done. >> next speaker, please. >> good evening. my name is joseph. think you for listening to us this evening. i live at 40 ashbury, which is the property next to this address. pr

i have to say that when i heard about nextg's equipment, installing these before the law changed, i was pretty disgusting. while there was no laws requiring them to notify the neighborhood, their future potential clients, customers, they obviously could have done it on their own, and, instead, they chose to send in executives who loitered in the neighborhood and ask people randomly if it bothered them. i think that that haphazard interest in the wants and needs and concerns of the neighborhood shows a real -- is really concerned, because these of the people who are installing and are in charge of maintaining this equipment in a residential neighborhood, near people's houses, and if there is that negligence in the neighborhood with residents, how can you a expect them to maintain the neighborhood and assure that the equipment is safe? and so, that is about it. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, my name is chris. i appreciate you guys taking in interest on our concerns. i thought i would use the overhead to show something more than blight. we heard from the
