it till Monday night which is
September 9th 9th at 53 or excuse me 659 so move second entertain a motion to
adjourn so move move seconded second all
in favor agency stands adjourned thank you like to call to ord connective
city council committee meeting for
Monday excuse me Tuesday September 3rd
2024 our first
um committee is Public Safety Mr
Williams thank you so I'd like to call
the order the Public Safety Committee we
have one item on the agenda tonight and
that is to discuss uh amending city code
chapter 182 which is noise uh I know
definitely for the duration of my
Council tenure noise complaints have
been to Me On The Rise um I know it's
been a u sensitive topic because trying
to understand how we can correct this
from a legislative matter I think is um
I think false second to enforcement uh
and I know as the police department has
made tangible investments in their
technology um because we know that
having officers respond to each and
every one of these events uh it takes
sometimes a second consideration to
higher priority calls uh this is still
nonetheless a very important issue for
individuals of all ages ethnicities um
and it affects each of us I think the
same so trying to understand how we can
put in place some more U legislative
supports um my points that I'm
recommending is reviewing the penalties
potentially assessing if those need to
be increased significantly uh
identifying if we need to adjust when
sounds are uh deemed unreasonable
throughout the city and also identifying
whether we we can potentially uh
identify a proper way to have excessive
music I.E having noise permits and
because what we're not saying or what
I'm not saying is we don't want people
to not have fun I think it's
understanding you can't have a concert
hall in your backyard in an urban
community and I think we can all agree
to that so I think it's how do we best
position uh the legislative background
that supports people having fun in the
proper context while also supporting
that quality of life matters to all of
our city residents um so I just wanted
to put that out there I ask that
everyone take a moment to review that
chapter if they haven't already and I
would like to either see if anyone
entertains the continuation of this
topic um or if anyone had any other
additional uh insight into this
issue thanks Patrick yeah I think it's
an important topic for us to be uh
considering I think we get these kinds
of complaints quite quite often um from
our residents um so I appreciate it
coming to the table and I do think we
have to study it and you know uh come up
with some good Solutions but I I would
like to have the discussion thank you
any other comments or feedback yeah
appreciate you bringing this um know we
were out going from door to door A lot
of folks got this complaint um it was it
was up there in the top four at least
and um yeah like to hear from the police
on what how the enforcement efforts have
work what's working what's not what we
can do that's commun to address the
issue uh any other questions or comments
Mr thank thank you I'm glad that you're
bringing this forward we discuss this um
over and over and respons we talk about
it we receive comp from Resident four
thing that we should look at is u in
terms of
um overall document here is perit if we
um allow permit and then we also need to
look at 82- 1825 what is reasonable
noise and if we can able to Define that
more and then also to touch on the
penalty and also the last one 182 that7
we need to broaden that to kind of like
um have to make citizen more comfortable
to file the a complaint and after they
and sworn to it so we want to make sure
that we look at those four things from
my
St
Mr um yes so uh thank you because this
is very important and at 1:00 if you
watch my ring doorbell you'll see a
council woman tutoral walking across the
street in her nighttime banging on the
car across and and they couldn't even
hear me that's how long was um of course
my daughter's screaming yeah back in the
house but you know uh so it's and it's
all over every NE um I I just don't
understand a permit um what you're kind
of suggesting there so I think similar
to like a block party you may miss uh my
you correct me if I'm wrong I think
there's a proper way that we can uh put
in place certain protections or
considerations for Neighbors I think for
me as a neighbor I would be more
understanding if someone knocked on my
door and said hey between the hours of 9
and 12 it's my 30th birthday party and
we might have a little bit more fun I
think it's different than day in and day
out till 3: in the morning so I think
it's understanding hey we do want you to
enjoy yourselves absolutely however your
enjoyment should not come at the expense
of others and for me I can say having
two younger children they're in bed by
7:30 and if there is something that is a
deciel too high and they wake up I'm not
the nicest person and then if I go over
to that house and maybe have some Choice
words then I'm in the wrong and that's
someone who feels comfortable having
that type of conversation there's a lot
of residents in our city that are afraid
of not only retribution but also
continuous harassment as being
identified as someone that's not fun so
I think as a city we need to make sure
we put in place the proper protections
uh so that they don't feel they have to
do that um because we do have an
enforcement body who's there to best
protect their interest um but I think
it's important to to just have a clear
language so I think telling someone they
can't have phone that's not what I'm
saying at all is just hey if you're
having music just be considered put in
place certain steps and then is there a
way we can just identify a fee to it so
I think just bringing more Revenue into
the
city that was my next question uh are
you putting a fee to from
of
course well s but I guess my whole thing
is you know it's still just say 8 to
midnight and or just say 8 in the
evening till 9 at night just that 1 hour
he drives
a resident insane with the boom boom so I I you know I'm enforcement is
huge as we know um it's difficult when
you know noise complaint is a little
lower on the list of higher priorities
in the city so I guess discussion and really what we can do would be
appropriate and then I want to get to
you Mr M I'd love to hear from the law
office I think there are three different
components there's the the code there is
enforcement and then there is the legal
background of how we serve these tickets
uh so I think enforcement we've made
considerable investments in like the uh
the Drone program so drone is co
responders that's something I'm very
excited for I don't know if the police
department is there yet with having a
drone be able to respond to these types
of lower level offenses but considerably
if you can have just a drone identify
hey the sound is there is that this
address I think as long as we have the I
don't want to get ahead of myself um but
I do think we we have other responses
other than actual officers responding in
person Mr yeah in regards to the per
it's um it's more of helping with the
enforcement because you have a permited
file there are contact information phone
numbers so if the police department with
somehow a back job they can make a call
to this the permit holder and kind of
remind them that they have a permit
within certain time and if they over the
permit they should uh you know turn the
music off or turn it
down if it's if it's music or if it's
lot of noise they need to contain it
within the um parameters
more of control to help with the police
department in making sure that um these
things are addressed and most of the
time they are not there they're busy
doing other stuff more more serious
business and these things just fall
through the cracks and people are
complaining that well I call the police
and the police are not showing but there
are a lot of things that they're doing
that is factoring into that that they're
not showing up but having the Drone as
one of the options for the forest
responder having the permit in place
specif the the contact person the the
name and address they can eventually
know that on that straight this person
called the forment I'm me need to
contact that person absolutely uh any
other questions or comments in sport
field so I think we covered a lot about
the um the noise at parties and
Gatherings Etc but one of the other
concerns and complaints that I hear and
I don't know how we address this is
about these modified Mufflers on cars
now um so that is a concern that I've
been hearing from from people somebody
actually stopped by my house I was
outside so it was okay and said like hey
I got to talk to you about this and that
was their concern you know they were
like well you don't want me to go down
there and and of course we don't so um I
don't know how we address that
particular thing or even if it's aoud
but I think it's something we should
consider as well not just the loudness
of the musler but also some of the music
from the Cars is louder than the
parties if I me is one of the reason why
I asked let's look at the standard for
unreasonable noise and those were two
coming from car mafal and they modifi
speakers
yeah Patrick I think it piggy back with
some of the other things we've talked
about as well in terms of even the
speeding issue and traffic issue the
noise um kind of goes hand in hand so I
mean I think there's a lot of aspects
for us to discuss and I think that you
know I don't know if you were planning
on you know what the next step be
obviously we have to have a next step be
like bringing together you know folks
from
um the police folks from legal folks
from codes but I mean you know really
being able to look at everything that we
need to
consider um I I just think it is
something to
pursue uh Mr Mayor is that a reasonable
ask to see if the police man
representative council
meeting
uh absolutely and again there we've
deployed you know environmental sensors
which also have acoustic sensors on it
recent stayed away from shot spotter
which was one of the uh companies that
uh pioneered managing uh gunshot
detection they've had
some problems with their actual
followup is they only worked on gunshots
where there are other sounds that could
be car crashes just general ambient
noise and so we do have some of the
ability to triangulate these
locations and again it
becomes uh decision of council it's in
code now of the level of sound and then
doing the enforcement and you all all
know that
again the number of calls that come in
sometimes exceed our ability to respond
to it use example the 4th of July give
or take a day uh that music sounds could
be part of it there are people are
having parties or other good togethers
but just the
fireworks uh it
challenges the resources and Williams
has pointed out want people to have a
good time enjoy it but how to do it in a
manner where it doesn't have an adverse
impact on the neighbors or uh the
community as a whole so
yes it's police department but there
other options out there too that we
could use to bring it in that we have
deployed thank you mayor um definitely
want to offer the opportunity for the
Law Department to respond uh but i' say
if you save your comments for the next
consuma that be really appreciated just
contacts on issue but if there are no
other questions or comments I'm just ask
to bring this back in two weeks and
everyone just have a chance to highlight
some areas and then I definitely making
sure we put the proper context on
evaluating this entire chapter we are
looking at amending it just
understanding the timeline with bring it
the public
hearings if there are no other comments
or issues to the fall core public safy
have a motion
to so second second all those in favor
your thank you I'd like to call the
finance committee to order and the first

planning we have nine items on the

ceremonial uh resolution recognizing Dr
steady mono who is the president of su
connecti Dr mono has been there since
2015 and um has really done a lot of
good work there and added a lot of
programs to that and know usually we
kind of wait till Milestones which would

no rule that says we have to wait till
the 10th anniversary so just wanted to
um be able to offer him a only
resolution for the work that he's done
at their Community
College I'll second it all in favor I
thank you and I will also take this one
for Mr Farley who could not be here

named Robert dobs I don't know if
youbody okay I see the head shaking
who's done a lot of work with the young
people es especially and and also in
that Park uh in Bellevue so he's just
done a lot of work and uh so Mr deont Mr
Charley wanted to be able to recognize
this young man for the contributions
that he's made to this community and
take a motion so Mo second all in favor
I thank you the next item on the agenda
is the uh discussion for the ceremonial
naming of the city street Mr M thank you
madam president um at the last committee
meeting um before you was a draft
resolution and then at the last
committee in this the council meeting a
petition was presented to us by the
Marlin Hill relatives asking us to um
consider um honoring Marlin Hill
Legacy for her work that she has done in
the city of conc and we're here
discussing this in terms of either us
passing a resolution just ceremony name
a section a portion of um
Barrett Street forly Bar Street between
South Avenue and Haren Street Marlin
Hillway and before us is the draft
petition and you see that last cycle and
the petition with over 600 um signatures
m m before we go into discussion can I
ask the Law Department to kind of guide
us and if we were to move forward with
this what do we need going the way it
looks is uh I've looked at the
signatures and there's enough to go
forward with the public hearing for next
week uh the ordinance uh calls for a
public hearing and that then after you
have the public hearing then you have
the resolution for the ceremonial
resolution and the the ordinance is
pretty uh uh specific as to the process
you all have to go through for a
ceremonial resolution the the signatures where they're from um
so it's it's it's it's specific as that
I was looking at the the ability of just
doing a resolution as opposed to you
going through the full processes set
forth of new ordinance and you can't do
it I I was looking at that just doing a resolution so however there's enough
signatures uh for my recommendation for
you to go forward with the public
hearing as required by the uh the
ordinance and then uh the Law Department
in conjunction with the city clerk's
office will continue to go through those
uh signatures um and certainly any more
signatures are always welcome um and
that we will then have the report back
to you in two weeks uh regarding the uh
resolution so uh there's enough forward
enough to go forward to for calling for
a public hearing regarding the
ceremonial uh naming of that portion of
Barett stre so Mr mud Baron would you
like to call for a public hearing yes
that's with the recommendation from the
Law Department
I that so and with that I'll entertain a
motion to call for a public hearing I'll

for it this and then it'll be on the
23rd 23rd so the call for it will be uh
next week yes and then the next
