APPROVE 5-2 (Carter, Redman)

 

 

Council Member Stephen Joost was supportive of the bill.

 

Council Member Don Redman cited the noise issue that affects the residents of the St. Nicholas community as a reason for deferring the bill.  He felt that the Ad Hoc Committee on Metropolitan Park was making progress in finding a solution to the noise problem.

 

Council Member Dr. Johnny Gaffney contended that entertainment is a component of a city’s quality of life; felt that the bill makes sense and is supportive.

 

Council Member Lori Boyer  explained the ramifications in enacting the bill; felt that the bill does nothing to address the decibel level issue.

 

Vince Seibold, Chief, Environmental Quality Division, fielded questions on how noise is measured.  He noted that measurements are taken at the source of a complaint (property of).  The noise program is complaint driven.

 

After Council Member Richard Clark called the question, the Committee voted to recommend approval of the measure, 5-2.
