John Wagner came before the Board to provide an update on the health department response to COVID- 19.

Monroe County Zoning Administrator Chris Voelker came before the Board at 9:04 a.m. to discuss a proposed AT&T tower in the unincorporated area of Columbia.

Matt Schlichter, an agent working for the petitioner Network Real Estate, spoke in favor of the proposed tower and presented reasons why his client would like to build the proposed tower at this location.

Jason Embrich, Gary Stumpf, Donald Wright, and Anna Embrich in opposition the project. They all spoke of concerns about the tower being close to their homes and the negative impact of that on their property values.

State’s Attorney Chris Hitzemann addressed two concerns. First, he said that someone said that the City of Columbia must approve zoning for this tower because it is within 1.5 miles of the city limits. It is his opinion that the City of Columbia does not have to approve any zoning related to this matter. Second, he gave a brief overview of state statute 55 ILCS 5/5-12001.1 and reviewed the various factors that apply to the zoning of communication towers.

Monroe County Zoning Administration Chris Voekler said that it is his decision the tower does not meet the local zoning code 40-9-3 sub section B1 since a storage facility is maintained in connection with the building site. State’s Attorney Chris Hitzemann advised the Board that they do not have to take any action on the matter and the petitioner should appeal the decision of the Monroe County Zoning Administrator to the Board of Appeals. No further action was taken on this matter.

County Treasurer Kevin Koenigstein presented an update on the 2019 tax collection cycle.
