As a condition of approval for telecommunication facilities the applicant must reimburse the city for its costs to retain outside expert technical assistance to evaluate any aspect of the proposed siting of telecommunications facilities, including but not limited to other possible sites within the city. The owner of a telecommunications facility must provide the city with current, technical evidence of compliance with FCC radiation emission requirements, annually or more frequently at the city’s reasonable request. If the owner does not promptly provide the city with satisfactory technical evidence of FCC compliance, the city may carry out tests to ensure FCC radiation compliance using a qualified expert. The owner must reimburse the city for its reasonable costs in carrying out such compliance testing.
