KYLE — Kyle City Council members voted on Nov. 19 to approve a resolution authorizing an agreement with Diamond Communications, LLC for the lease of wireless telecommunication space in hopes of improving coverage within the city.
According to director of administration services Rosie Truelove, this comes after staff gave a presentation to council in April, where complaints were identified regarding cellphone coverage in areas of the city: “There is a desire to address these concerns to improve health and safety of citizens and community. Some of our critical infrastructure also relies on wireless connectivity.”
A map displaying the city was shown, which noted areas with gaps in coverage to give council members an idea of what would be studied citywide. The area that had a lack of coverage is FM 1626, between and around H-E-B and Target.
