Sebastopol and Sonoma County are slated by PGE to have a new wireless grid installed in May 2010. Lampposts, buildings, and telephone poles will host the wireless repeater infrastructure to serve the new wireless PGE Smart Meters, which will be installed in every home and business. These devices will add yet another layer of radio frequencies (RF) to our homes and environment and will emit RF signals throughout the day and night. In light of the lack of FCC safety standards for chronic long term exposure to RF and in light of the of the call for the precautionary principle for wireless technology from global scientists, environmental agencies, advocacy groups and doctors, we, the undersigned request you:

1. Thoroughly investigate the PGE Smart Meter proposal and potential health risks of these devices by holding public hearings.
2. Require PGE to submit a characterization study of the smart meter system planned for Sonoma County and Sebastopol.
3. Obtain the Smart Meter health and safety study PGE commissioned and make available to the public.
4. Allow customers to "opt out" of program.
5. Place a 6-9 month moratorium on all new wireless installations to allow time for a thorough scientific review.
