Reps from Dish Network talked about wanting to add wireless cell tower to our roof. In the past the offer from Dish was lacking in the monetary department and the board was concerned about appearance. Reps from Dish said they would be able to provide more compensation and that they would be willing to address the concerns of the appearance. The board asked for hard copies of plans and to have them resubmit.
