forecasting and how it can be effectively communicated to elected officials, staff and citizens.

Christina Estes-Werther, League General Counsel
On December 22, 2016, the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") issued a Public Notice for Comment relating to siting (location) policies for small cell infrastructure. The Notice
was a result of a Petition from Mobilitie, LLC, a wireless provider located in Newport Beach, California. Mobilitie is requesting that the FCC adopt a declaratory ruling defining
certain terms that will allow Mobilitie and other wireless providers easier access to public rights-of-way for wireless services.

Throwback: AZ Cities Edition
What were cities and towns celebrating this time last year? Five years ago? 50 years ago?
We're introducing a new feature for the League Connection newsletter where we take a look at some city/town stories from years
past. If your city or town has a memorable success story, anniversary to celebrate, or timeless photo to share for a particular
month, please feel free to send them to swomer@azleague.org. We'd love to feature your
city or town in an upcoming issue!
Five Years Ago:
The cities of San Luis and Somerton joined an ambulance agreement to share ambulances and ambulance crews. The agreement, provided by the Department of Health Services, allowed the two
departments to respond more quickly and with more resources to emergencies by pooling staff and funds. This marked the first time the City of San Luis had its own ambulance
service.
Eleven Years Ago:
Seven cars and trucks from Prescott-area communities and organizations were sent to Pascagoula, Mississippi to serve out their engine lives in a city that lost the bulk of its
government fleet to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Working one-on-one with Pascagoula city officials, the Town of Prescott Valley learned that the government's greatest need was fleet vehicles.
A call went out regionally for donated vechiles and the City of Prescott responded with three vehicles that had been taken out of service and were scheduled for public auction. The Town
of Prescott Valley donated two vehicles and two additional vehicles were donated by the Central Yavapai Fire District and the Yavapai Exceptional Industries.
Prescott Valley town officials traveled to Pascagoula to assess the community's needs and deliver the vehicles.
