Go research the local tower zoning laws for the municipality the tower is located in. That will tell you if you need to so anything. He may be confused and thinking things like FAA approvals. Is this tower a FAA previously approved site? If so technically any time you add new frequencies to a tower you have to refile. Nobody does but it is required. Not only does the FAA study for airspace obstructions but they also do RFI studies for their RADAR and radio navigation systems. So each new addition to a tower gets studied for RFI if the height is not changed.
If you did not install a meter for your own equipment then you should not have to pull an electrical permit.
