Biographies of Team Members <br />Lawrence (Rusty) Monroe <br />Mr. Monroe is the owner of Monroe Telecom Associates, LLC (MTA) and co-founder of the Center for Municipal <br />Solutions ("CTS"), a dba for MTA, which provides services exclusively to local governments and the public sector <br />relative to the regulation of the siting, placement, construction, and modification of wireless telecommunications <br />facilities and their support infrastructure. <br />He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Penn State University. Mr. Monroe has thirty-nine (39) years of <br />experience in the telecommunications industry, including having been responsible for overseeing the siting and <br />construction of numerous towers in several states. <br />Public Sector: Mr. Monroe has drafted and designed tower and wireless siting ordinances that are now in effect in <br />literally hundreds of communities in thirty-four (34) states and that have been copied and adopted in one form or <br />another in what have been reported to be hundreds of other communities and are often encountered already <br />being used by new CTS clients. He has reviewed, analyzed and critiqued scores of other wireless and tower <br />regulatory ordinances and after review of his qualifications has been officially accepted as a qualified expert on <br />the subject by local governments throughout the nation. <br />Over almost 2 decades he has reviewed and analyzed and more than a thousand applications and has approved <br />the final report and recommendation of several thousand applications for towers and wireless facilities and has <br />personally inspected many of these facilities after construction. He has analyzed thousands of submittals of <br />technical 'Proof-of-Need' claims, including but not limited to Propagation Studies visa-vis coverage issues, and <br />other information submitted in support or defense of 'Proof-of-Need' submittals for both coverage and/or capacity. <br />None of the findings and conclusions of these analyses has been successfully legally challenged. He is <br />considered an expert in the regulation, siting/location, permitting, construction, modification, safety issues and <br />inspection of wireless facilities and their support structures. <br />In addition to new tower situations, he has analyzed more than a thousand modification/upgrade applications for <br />compliance with applicable safety regulations, e.g. structural reports, ANSI EIA/TIA 222 safety reports dealing <br />with the physical condition of the facility and RF emissions reports, and has never had his conclusions or <br />recommendations successfully challenged. Based on his experience, he has been officially deemed a qualified <br />expert in hundreds of instances. <br />He has both designed and analyzed the design of numerous cable systems (thousands of miles), which are <br />based on and function using RF technology, as well as AML microwave systems and fiber-optics. While cable is a <br />closed system and there is no propagation involved when operating compliantly, the basic RF principles are the <br />same as with wireless. He has also personally investigated and been responsible for the resolution of RF <br />"Leakage" of cable systems, which once 'outside' the confines of the cable do propagate similarly to wireless RF <br />signals. <br />The "siting and permitting process" recommended by CTS, including the preparation of a regulatory ordinance, <br />has been endorsed by such organizations as the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors, the <br />New York Supervisors and Legislators Association and the West Virginia Municipal League. <br />CTS's web site, for which he is primarily responsible, is used as a Clearinghouse by local governments <br />nationwide for information regarding the regulating wireless communications facilities and the needed support <br />infrastructure, e.g. towers and alternatives to towers. <br />He has been asked, as an expert, to conduct educational and training seminars and workshops at numerous <br />conferences for local governmental organizations on the regulation of the siting, construction, modification and <br />permitting of towers and wireless facilities. Some of these organizations include: <br />7 <br />
