<br />city of Centerville <br />October 8, 2003 <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers commented the level went to the 60's inside the <br />house. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra expressed concern with taking the reading at the property line. <br /> <br />Council Member Lee commented that living across the street from two bars you would <br />have to expect a certain amount of noise. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers suggested raising the lower number but change the <br />times from 10:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. as a compromise for both sides. <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft commented that the numbers should be set high enough to account <br />for the ambient noise level or it would be impossible to prosecute. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra commented that she did not feel the City should figure in traffic. <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft indicated that traffic is part of the ambient noise level and should be <br />figured in. <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft indicated that the City has a general prohibition against noise that is <br />not related to the noise level table. He further commented that the City would need to <br />consider all areas of the City when figuring the noise levels not just one area. <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft indicated that some activity may not rise to the level of a decibel <br />violation but may be a violation of the general noise prohibition of the ordinance. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that about the only thing not exempted is <br />music playing, all the other things are exempted. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra asked how many Council Members would be interested in having <br />the noise ordinance changed from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. <br /> <br />The consensus was that Members were not interested in changing to 9:00 p.m. <br /> <br />Council discussed the noise ordinance and decided that each Member should provide <br />proposed levels to Staff for compilation and discussion at the next meeting. <br /> <br />Motion bv Council Member Capra. seconded bv Council Member Lee to continue <br />the pnblic heano!!.
