(1) The Town, at the expense of the applicant, may employ its own consultants to examine the application and related documentation. The consultants that the Town may retain include, but are not limited to, professional structural and/or electrical engineers, attorneys, and other experts reasonably required by the Town to competently and fully evaluate any application and the resulting construction. Such consultants may be requested, among other matters, to make recommendations as to whether the criteria for granting approvals and permits have been met, including whether the applicant's conclusions regarding a significant gap in coverage, co-location, safety analysis, visual analysis, and structural inspection are valid and supported by generally accepted and reliable engineering and technical data and standards and whether the personal wireless service facility as constructed will be in compliance with the approved plans and in accordance with generally accepted good engineering practices and industry standards.

(2) To assure sufficient funds are available to the Town to pay for the consultants referred to in the preceding subsection, an applicant shall be required to deposit review fees in escrow, in accordance with the terms of Town Code § 153-2D, as the same may be amended from time to time. The Town Board shall set from time to time by resolution the minimum initial escrow deposit for any personal wireless service facility application which anticipates construction of any type of tower exceeding 50 feet.

See § 270-219: Personal wireless service facilities for complete, detailed information.
