Verizon may pursue legal action against Arcadia over City Council's rejection of its petition to construct a 53 feet tall faux bell cell phone tower. City Manager Dominic Lazzaretto, in an email, stated that no litigation has been filed but Verizon has indicated they are reviewing their options, including a lawsuit. We hope...to help them find an alternate site that may meet their needs and fit better in the community.

Arcadia seeks to extend the right to collect cell phone usage tax. Officials plan to hold a special election in May or June in 2009 for a ballot measure. If communicated to voters correctly, it should pass, because it would not raise the tax but protect the city's revenues. At stake is about $1 million in yearly revenue. To do that, voters must allow the city to legally redefine what a telecommunications tax is. Recent court rulings have suggested cities cannot tax cell phone use by relying on older telecommunications tax ordinances.
