Board notes T‑Mobile antenna work at Salt Tower; right‑of‑way and repair checklist discussed

Chair (S2) told the board he had spoken with counsel for American Tower and reviewed a contractor checklist that flagged a few items as needing immediate repair. He also said, "T Mobile has already started putting up their antennas around the Salt Tower" and that the contractor expects to finish by Sept. 18.

Board members discussed whether the right‑of‑way is owned by the property owner and whether telecom companies can pass through a gate to reach the tower. Chair (S2) said a right‑of‑way may allow access but observed uncertainty about when access is effectively public versus controlled by a private owner; a participant (S3) agreed that the right‑of‑way would be owned by the property owner.

Why it matters: antenna work can affect local roads and require coordination with property owners, tower operators and town staff. Board members asked staff to track the checklist items and monitor progress toward the stated completion date.
