Regular City Council Meeting Monday, April 9, 2018 Page 17 Nays: None. f. Consider Ordinance Amendment to Chapter 405 Noise Control City Engineer Freihammer briefly reviewed this request, recommending approval as detailed in the RCA and related attachments dated April 9, 2018. After the ini- tial presentation to the Council in March, staff made revisions to the original pro- posal based on Council feedback. This ordinance would provide exemptions to this ordinance for construction or maintenance projects where the City of Rose- ville is the owner and/or the project engineer on the project. The ordinance would eliminate these projects from requiring a public hearing, which would speed up the process and provides more flexibility with the contractor. This revised pro- posal was presented to the Public Works, Environment, and Transportation Com- mission, and they had no further feedback. Mayor Roe offered an opportunity for public comment, with no one coming for- ward. Etten moved, McGehee seconded, enactment of Ordinance No. 1548, (Attach- ment A), entitled "An Ordinance Amending Selected Text of the Roseville City Code, Title 4, Chapter 405, to Provide Noise Ordinance Exemptions." Council Discussion Councilmember Etten appreciated the adaptations made by staff and believed this will work nicely. Councilmember McGehee thanked staff Councilmember Willmus expressed appreciation for taking this out of policy and putting it in ordinance, which makes much more sense. He recalled the prior dis- cussion about giving the City special treatment in certain circumstances, and even though he is not 100 percent satisfied with that aspect, he will support the pro- posal. Councilmember Laliberte expressed appreciation for the changes and the discus- sion last time. Mayor Roe concurred with the concerns expressed by Councilmember Willmus about the City giving itself slightly different treatment, but a lot of the concerns are addressed through the code. He also suggested posting a sign with contact in- formation on projects in advance. Councilmember Etten commented that this is so localized, and the people affected will be a fairly small, so a large sign is not necessary.
