telecommunications carrier. This written communication shall
either approve the proposed location or request a meeting to
review other possible alternative locations. If requested, the
meeting shall take place within 7 days after the date of the
written communication.
(c) At the meeting, the telecommunications carrier shall
provide the county documentation consisting of radio frequency
engineering criteria and a corresponding telecommunications
facility search ring map, together with documentation of the
carrier's efforts to site the proposed facility within the
telecommunications facility search ring.
(d) Within 21 days after receipt of the carrier's
documentation, the county shall propose either an alternative
site within the telecommunications facility search ring, or an
alternative site outside of the telecommunications search ring
that meets the radio frequency engineering criteria provided by
the telecommunications carrier and that will not materially
increase the construction budget beyond what was estimated on
the original carrier proposed site.
(e) If the county's proposed alternative site meets the

the lease rate for the original proposed site; then the carrier
can proceed to permit and construct the site under the
provisions and standards of Section 5-12001.1 of this Code.
