The Georgia Center for Municipal Solutions presented an application process for the installation of cell towers in Emanuel County. Daniel Dye, the representative for GCMS, spoke of the advantages of working with cell companies through his organization rather than directly, citing higher guaranteed safety standards and regulations that would keep Emanuel County in control of the towers within its borders. He proposed that Emanuel County adopt a 90 day interim resolution to work with GCMS to form a more permanent resolution to regulate relations with cell tower companies. The proposal will be reviewed and decided upon at the next meeting of the County Commissioners.
