Jim Drake pointed out that Sections 4-1.02 and 4-1.03 are the heart of the current Noise Ordinance which was adopted 52 years ago and amended 25 years ago. He likened it to a Bill of Rights. To adopt the proposed new ordinance would be tantamount to writing a new constitution. A public hearing is scheduled for March 1, 2011.
Councilman Bill Quirk stated that United Food & Commercial Workers, Local Five, would like Council to consider a suggested ordinance to deal with large stores with a substantial grocery component. The City Manager will assess the feasibility of such legislation to decide if it might appear on a future Council agenda for passage.
