  Set up a separate SSID exclusively for HAM use. Use IPsec AH -
cryptographically signed traffic keeps the unlicensed out without

civil defense radio of the 21st century, HAMs get a new toy, and
everyone is happy. Sure, there are security concerns, but the interface
to the outside world is a proxy server HAMs can use while doing storm
watch and such ... nobody gets in or out without a note from the FCC ...

  Or am I making this just a bit too simple?

The hams might be OK on it.  The city probably won't be thrilled unless
you can find a way to get their legal staff to sign off on it.  Remember,
most lawyers aren't geeks, and will judge a proposal on a different basis
than geeks do.
