Back to the Drawing Board in Arnold for 911 Tower Project

After the mid-August start of public hearings, Jefferson County 911 is forced to start the process over from the beginning due to a not following proper procedures.

The public hearing for the Communication Tower on Telegraph Rd. for Jefferson County 911 scheduled this Thursday evening at 7pm. in Arnold City Hall  has been cancelled.  The project must start the whole process anew due to failure to comply with proper notification procedures.  The project has been plagued with notification errors. The last meeting was postponed because the wrong date appeared on the site signage.  It was determined today that the letters appearing on that same sign were less than the required four inches tall. Since that sign was used for all public hearings, with only the date being changed each time, it was determined that the process needed to go back to the beginning and start over.
Mr. Sweeney represents the Jefferson County 911 Board on this project, being the city attorney for the City of Arnold also, you would think he would advise his clients of the rules and proper notification procedures.  That doesn't seem to be the case...no pun intended.
