The City of Sebastopol approved a cell tower expansion to a 4G network in the heart of downtown Sebastopol. They ignored a need for a environmental report (CEQA) and based their decision on scanty evidence of safety. In fact more than half of their safety evidence was deemed inaccurate by the Verizon representative based on conflicting figures between two reporting companies.
We have a lawyer, Rose Zoia who is available to sue the city and obtain an injunction against the expansion. The City has a "hold harmless" clause from Verizon, so Verizon will have to pay all legal fees for the City.
It is estimated to cost about $20,000 for the legal process. We have $1,000 already pledged from one donor. In order to move forward with this lawsuit we need a local person who is willing to be a fundraising coordinator. I need to ensure that I have the help I need in order to move forward with this.
