Chairman Neuer stated that there was a letter of authorization from the property owner, included in the application package, signed by Lisa E. Kahn and asked Mr. Lavigne who owns the property. Mr. Lavigne stated that MCI is the owner of the property. Chairman Neuer said that the letter neither says anything about MCI nor does it identify who Ms. Kahn, He stated that he is concerned if the Board can even proceed with this application. Mr. Lavigne stated that MCI is located in Dallas, Texas and that the tower company received approval from them to file and pursue this application. Ms. Beirne asked Mr. Lavigne if he knew who Lisa E. Kahn was and he said he didn’t know. Ms. Beime stated that they can proceed with the application but the Board cannot vote until we receive the owner’s proper authorization, She said that if the authorization comes from Ms. Kahn, then she should identify herself as being authorized by MCI to sign for them and to provide a proper entity resolution. Ms. Borg asked if they needed a letter from the tower owner also. Chairman Neuer stated that the only approval required is from the property owners. Mr. Buechler stated that, because there is a license agreement, the property owner did give approval.
