MoCo Tower Committee Approved Unsigned Application #rubberstamp @NorthwestJags

On May 19, 2017, MCPS Chief Operating Officer Andrew Zuckerman wrote that, "Nothing has been approved at this time by the school district." with regard to the application for a cell tower to be placed on top of Northwest High School.

Mr. Zuckerman was correct.

In fact, the Application for the Northwest High School cell tower was unsigned when it went before the Montgomery County Tower Committee two days earlier on May 17, 2017.

The Montgomery County Tower Committee was well aware that the application did not have the approval of the Property Owner, but approved the application anyway.

Below is a picture of the signature page for the Northwest High School cell tower application that was submitted to the Montgomery County Tower Committee for approval.

See the last blank line for the signature of the Property Owner?  In this instance the Property Owner is the Montgomery County BOARD OF EDUCATION.  The line is blank, as are all the lines above.  No one signed off on this application, yet the Montgomery County Tower Committee approved it anyway.

What exactly does the Montgomery County Tower Committee actually do when an application for a cell tower is submitted to them for their review and approval?
