What's new on the Fountain Hills council agenda?

The Times Independent reported on every topic on the Town Council agenda except for two.

By the way, one of the topics that you knew would be back is cloaked as telecommunications, but it’s all about “5G.” It was just a matter of time (just three meetings into Mayor Friedel’s tenure) that this would be back on the agenda; the favorite topic of a few of Friedel’s supporters.

Despite legal warnings, I wonder if the council majority may still do something illegal when given another chance. They did the first time with their “moratorium.” The mayor wants to “designate a councilmember as a point of contact on this topic.” First, as a policymaker, that’s not a councilperson’s role, and it steps all over staff. And second, want to guess who he may have in mind? Can you say “Watts?”
