To Whom it my concern,
I david Olsen, Lead Engineer on the Douglas Pass Communication site has personally
inspected The Site shortly after Completion of Construction, and find the Tower to have
been built in accordance to the tower manufacturer instructions. The tower appears to be
of sound construction.
Sincearly,

Dear Andy:
The Rio Blanco Sheriff Department and Union Telephone Company have been working
together to share on Union's Communication lease parcel and tower. I have included
drawings showing the location of the proposed buildings, Union having two buildings on
the parcel and Rio Blanco County having one. The Douglas Communication Site is ideal
for Rio Blanco having better 911 responses and enhanced coverage for the state wide 800
DTR radio project. Union Telephone is providing a cellular communication link to the
Loma and Grand Junction areas and presently in this Douglas Pass area where cellular
communication is non -existing and emergency response time is unacceptable. To help
solve these issues, Union Telephone Company has approval to proceed with installing
cellular communications and provide a radio link for Rio Blanco County Sheriff
Department for home land security.
To satisfy both parties co -location needs, the tower height will be increased to 120 feet
and the parcel size of a 50 feet x 50 feet will have to be increase to a 60 foot by 60 foot
parcel. The increased parcel size will make room for the sheriff's electronic building and
Union's generator and equipment buildings. The larger parcel also allows room for the
concrete tower base. The higher tower will not require any special lighting as the lighting
requirement applies to 200 foot towers. See Attached drawings.
There will be no sanitary or water system needed at the site but power exists at the
communication site location and will share the power with Rio Blanco County.
Please review this additional information at your earliest convenience and if you have
any questions, call me a 307-782-42I8 or cell no. 307-780-4218.
Yours truly,
