understands the design issues, and technologies of the wireless providers. His background and "experience
<br />provide an in-depth understanding of wireless facilities that will benefit the public sector. As the Chairman of a
<br />Planning Commission for over 10 years, Mr. Naumann understands the interests of local governments, and
<br />issues of the communities they represent. He understands the balance required between the need for wireless
<br />facilities to serve the community and the potential visual impact of the construction of these facilities. As an
<br />owner of his own engineering firm he works continuously with local governments and is exposed to the
<br />shortage of revenue resources and the constant challenge to address the growing needs within the community.
<br />He appreciates the need for local governments to maximize revenue growth without additional taxation.
<br />Jackie Hicks
<br />Ms. Hicks is the Atlantic Coast Regional Director for CMS and has immediate responsibility for all projects from
<br />southeastern Pennsylvania through Florida. She has been responsible for the review and permitting of more
<br />than a thousand (1,000) applications for towers and wireless facilities. Ms. Hicks was the first member of the
<br />team to be "custom-trained" by CMS's founders and came up through the ranks, having proven to be
<br />invaluable, both to clients and CMS. She is well-known among local governments and the industries and is
<br />particularly valued for her ability to demystify for clients the numerous technical issues involved in the siting
<br />and construction of towers and wireless facilities. Ms. Hicks deals directly with all clients in the Atlantic Coast
<br />Region and simplifies the entire matter for client staff, allowing them to devote all but a minimal amount of their
<br />limited time to other matters of importance. Her record of being able to work out win-win situations, including
<br />truly camouflaged facilities and co-locations on existing structures as opposed to the construction of new
<br />towers, is better than 9:1, i.e. 90%. Her understanding of the difference between a carrier's technical need, as
<br />opposed to its desires in the context of gaining a competitive advantage, is largely what enables clients to be in
<br />control. She has also contributed significantly to redrafting CMS's Model Ordinance to keep it up-to-date as
<br />regards the technology and the law and more "user-friendly" and easily understood by the industry's site/permit
<br />acquisition people, and more easily interpreted and administered by clients. This is critical to the success of
<br />CMS satisfying clients' needs and desires. In short, she helped make the best even better.
