[Rfu-barnraising] Tower Permit Update

[Mike Lehman]

It now appears that the city will require a special use permit for the 
towerr. I got them the paperwork they need for this. I think they said 
the hearing date will be Oct. 20, but I 'll get an update on that when 
things are set-up. So we are still on schedule as far as that part of 
the process is concerned, but it will require a bit more work to get the 
ducks lined up. There are no problems expected, but like all processes 
subject to political pressures, one can't be overconfident yet.

Also, I contacted the nearest Rohn tower dealer and they are putting a 
quote together. I should have that by the end of the week to verify it 
covers what we need. The cost for the tower itself will be about $1,000. 
The dealer is located in the Quad Cities area and we could save a 
substantial sum if someone has a pickup and can take the day off to 
drive over and pick the tower components up. It will be a couple of 
weeks before this needs to be done, but if there is anyone that can 
volunteer to pick this stuff up, I'm sure we can pay for the gas and buy 
you lunch in exchange.
