BACKGROUND: There are portions of the County that are either not served, or are underserved, by telecommunication services. This has become an impediment to essential County communications for several departments (i.e. Emergency Management, Sheriff, Information Technologies, Building Inspections, Health Department, etc) and has negatively impacted local residents. Within the Ordinance there is a mechanism available to the County to take proactive action to potentially address these issues through the adoption of the Master Telecommunication Plan Map (hereafter `the Plan').
