Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,June 17, 2019 <br /> Page 28 <br /> Ayes: Willmus, Laliberte, Etten, Groff and Roe. <br /> Nays: None <br /> Councilmember Willmus thought it was important that at this stage with the lan- <br /> guage brought forward to definitely go out and talk with the user groups and get <br /> feedback. He knew that the groups already do many of these things but he would <br /> be interested as this comes forward that it be done in consultation with those <br /> groups. There is a benefit to the City for the events being held and he did not <br /> want to see that lost. He thought Roseville area schools should be consulted with <br /> as well and could potentially have some issues with regard to sporting events that <br /> occur at the high school. He noted another one to talk to would be Northwestern. <br /> Mayor Roe thought sporting events, if not exempted already, should be because <br /> those seem to be regularly scheduled events rather than special events. <br /> Councilmember Groff asked if graduation parties and weddings would be exempt <br /> from this unless there was amplified music.

He stated there is already a <br /> close relationship with the user groups in the City so there is always constant <br /> feedback. <br /> Councilmember Etten suggesting putting in ways to reduce the decibel level so <br /> people know. <br /> Mayor Roe thought 80 decibels was pretty low. There are a lot of factors to take <br /> into account when decibel numbers are looked at. He thought the time duration is <br /> something to look at along with directing the sound in sensible directions and to <br /> help people figure out what level of amplification is needed at the events. Besides <br /> the designated person who is responsible for the event side of things, there should <br />
