On the Agenda: Proposed New Satellite Dish Ordinance

The Medford City Council will consider an ordinance that would ban satellite dishes from the front of homes, if another location is available.

The proposed ordinance calls for satellite service providers to give the city's building department a signed statement that the only possible location for the dish is the front of the home. If there are other locations the dish can work, it must be installed there.

Along with the proposed new ordinance, there is a public hearing for two new utility poles to be installed on Porter Road.

The council meets Tuesday night at 7 p.m. at City Hall.

Mayor Michael McGlynn has submitted the following people to be appointed to city positions Tuesday: James Tarani as a Commissioner of Trust Funds, Judith as a Commissioner of Trust Funds (re-appointment), and Allan Martorana to the License Commission.

City councilors have also brought resolutions forward to discuss retiring firefighters, city board and commission members, and the resumes of individuals appointed to posts at the Medford Housing Authority.
