NOTE: The Village initially adopted a “small cell” ordinance in 2017 (Ordinance 17-043). Subsequent to that, the legislature passed Statewide legislation that pre-empted local authority and regulations. The “small cell” legislation known as the “Small Wireless Facilities Deployment Act” allows cellular carriers to use local rights-of-way to install wireless facilities. Carriers also have the ability to attach their equipment to Village infrastructure (i.e. streetlights, traffic signals, etc.). Local permits, fees and requirements are all set by Statute. There are a few language items being refined and the Village is waiting for signed agreements; so passage of the next two Ordinances are being approved, “subject to attorney approval”.
Ordinance (19-086) Authorizing Execution of a Master Pole Attachment Agreement by and Between New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC D/B/A AT&T Mobility and The Village of Bolingbrook (Subject to Attorney Approval) for the installation of small wireless equipment.
Ordinance (19-087) Authorizing Execution of a Master Pole Attachment Agreement by and Between Chicago SMSA Limited Partnership D/B/A Verizon Wireless and The Village of Bolingbrook (Subject to Attorney Approval) for the installation of small wireless equipment.
