Residents more concerned about stadium speaker noise than move of cell phone tower at OHS -- Because of Alpine School District's planned reconstruction of Orem High School, it's been proposed to relocate the cellular phone tower currently on campus to double as a light pole over the football stadium.
Yet residents at the Orem City Council meeting were more concerned about noise from the stadium's speakers than the prospect that the relocated T-Mobile cell phone tower might be closer to some homes.
The speakers, which project sound to the neighboring homes' direction will be moved to the west side of the field. The new cell tower monopole will be painted blue to match the other stadium lights.
To combine the two would be similar to an arrangement at Mountain View High School where a Cingular cell tower stands.
Orem City Council member Dean Dickerson lives in the subdivision bordering the stadium and said that during every game, the sound is blasted across backyards and homes.
"On a very clear night, the sound will even bounce off the mountain and come back again," he said.
The Council voted in favor of the cell phone tower/stadium light pole proposal.

Is there someone to talk with at the school board? We'd be able to offer them a large one-time lump sum payment for taking an "assignment of lease", and they'd be able to eliminate all risk associated with the carrier terminating the lease (revenue stream). I can be reached at bobhoffsis@pointproviders.com or 484-367-7774.
