[6:10] September 9th 9th at 53 or excuse me 659 so move second entertain a motion to
[6:21] adjourn so move move seconded second all
[6:25] in favor agency stands adjourned thank you like to call to ord connective
[6:31] city council committee meeting for
[6:33] Monday excuse me Tuesday September 3rd
[6:35] 2024 our first
[6:38] um committee is Public Safety Mr
[6:41] Williams thank you so I'd like to call
[6:43] the order the Public Safety Committee we
[6:44] have one item on the agenda tonight and
[6:46] that is to discuss uh amending city code
[6:49] chapter 182 which is noise uh I know
[6:53] definitely for the duration of my
[6:56] Council tenure noise complaints have
[6:58] been to Me On The Rise um I know it's
[7:02] been a u sensitive topic because trying
[7:05] to understand how we can correct this
[7:07] from a legislative matter I think is um
[7:11] I think false second to enforcement uh
[7:13] and I know as the police department has
[7:15] made tangible investments in their
[7:17] technology um because we know that
[7:19] having officers respond to each and
[7:21] every one of these events uh it takes
[7:24] sometimes a second consideration to
[7:25] higher priority calls uh this is still
[7:28] nonetheless a very important issue for
[7:31] individuals of all ages ethnicities um
[7:34] and it affects each of us I think the
[7:36] same so trying to understand how we can
[7:39] put in place some more U legislative
[7:42] supports um my points that I'm
[7:45] recommending is reviewing the penalties
[7:47] potentially assessing if those need to
[7:49] be increased significantly uh
[7:51] identifying if we need to adjust when
[7:53] sounds are uh deemed unreasonable
[7:56] throughout the city and also identifying
[7:59] whether we we can potentially uh
[8:01] identify a proper way to have excessive
[8:04] music I.E having noise permits and
[8:07] because what we're not saying or what
[8:09] I'm not saying is we don't want people
[8:10] to not have fun I think it's
[8:12] understanding you can't have a concert
[8:15] hall in your backyard in an urban
[8:18] community and I think we can all agree
[8:19] to that so I think it's how do we best
[8:22] position uh the legislative background
[8:25] that supports people having fun in the
[8:27] proper context while also supporting
[8:29] that quality of life matters to all of
[8:31] our city residents um so I just wanted
[8:34] to put that out there I ask that
[8:36] everyone take a moment to review that
[8:38] chapter if they haven't already and I
[8:40] would like to either see if anyone
[8:41] entertains the continuation of this
[8:43] topic um or if anyone had any other
[8:45] additional uh insight into this
[8:48] issue thanks Patrick yeah I think it's
[8:51] an important topic for us to be uh
[8:53] considering I think we get these kinds
[8:54] of complaints quite quite often um from
[8:57] our residents um so I appreciate it
[9:00] coming to the table and I do think we
[9:01] have to study it and you know uh come up
[9:06] with some good Solutions but I I would
[9:07] like to have the discussion thank you
[9:10] any other comments or feedback yeah
[9:12] appreciate you bringing this um know we
[9:15] were out going from door to door A lot
[9:17] of folks got this complaint um it was it
[9:19] was up there in the top four at least
[9:22] and um yeah like to hear from the police
[9:24] on what how the enforcement efforts have
[9:26] work what's working what's not what we
[9:28] can do that's commun to address the
[9:32] issue uh any other questions or comments
[9:35] Mr thank thank you I'm glad that you're
[9:38] bringing this forward we discuss this um
[9:41] over and over and respons we talk about
[9:44] it we receive comp from Resident four
[9:47] thing that we should look at is u in
[9:49] terms of
[9:50] um overall document here is perit if we
[9:54] um allow permit and then we also need to
[9:56] look at 82- 1825 what is reasonable
[10:00] noise and if we can able to Define that
[10:03] more and then also to touch on the
[10:06] penalty and also the last one 182 that7
[10:10] we need to broaden that to kind of like
[10:12] um have to make citizen more comfortable
[10:16] to file the a complaint and after they
[10:18] and sworn to it so we want to make sure
[10:21] that we look at those four things from
[10:23] my
[10:24] St
[10:26] Mr um yes so uh thank you because this
[10:29] is very important and at 1:00 if you
[10:31] watch my ring doorbell you'll see a
[10:33] council woman tutoral walking across the
[10:35] street in her nighttime banging on the
[10:37] car across and and they couldn't even
[10:39] hear me that's how long was um of course
[10:42] my daughter's screaming yeah back in the
[10:45] house but you know uh so it's and it's
[10:48] all over every NE um I I just don't
[10:52] understand a permit um what you're kind
[10:55] of suggesting there so I think similar
[10:57] to like a block party you may miss uh my
[11:00] you correct me if I'm wrong I think
[11:02] there's a proper way that we can uh put
[11:04] in place certain protections or
[11:06] considerations for Neighbors I think for
[11:08] me as a neighbor I would be more
[11:10] understanding if someone knocked on my
[11:11] door and said hey between the hours of 9
[11:14] and 12 it's my 30th birthday party and
[11:16] we might have a little bit more fun I
[11:18] think it's different than day in and day
[11:20] out till 3: in the morning so I think
[11:22] it's understanding hey we do want you to
[11:25] enjoy yourselves absolutely however your
[11:28] enjoyment should not come at the expense
[11:30] of others and for me I can say having
[11:33] two younger children they're in bed by
[11:35] 7:30 and if there is something that is a
[11:37] deciel too high and they wake up I'm not
[11:39] the nicest person and then if I go over
[11:41] to that house and maybe have some Choice
[11:43] words then I'm in the wrong and that's
[11:45] someone who feels comfortable having
[11:46] that type of conversation there's a lot
[11:48] of residents in our city that are afraid
[11:50] of not only retribution but also
[11:52] continuous harassment as being
[11:53] identified as someone that's not fun so
[11:56] I think as a city we need to make sure
[11:58] we put in place the proper protections
[12:00] uh so that they don't feel they have to
[12:02] do that um because we do have an
[12:04] enforcement body who's there to best
[12:06] protect their interest um but I think
[12:09] it's important to to just have a clear
[12:10] language so I think telling someone they
[12:13] can't have phone that's not what I'm
[12:14] saying at all is just hey if you're
[12:15] having music just be considered put in
[12:17] place certain steps and then is there a
[12:19] way we can just identify a fee to it so
[12:21] I think just bringing more Revenue into
[12:23] the
[12:24] city that was my next question uh are
[12:27] you putting a fee to from
[12:30] of
[12:32] course well s but I guess my whole thing
[12:37] is you know it's still just say 8 to
[12:40] midnight and or just say 8 in the
[12:43] evening till 9 at night just that 1 hour
[12:46] he drives
[12:47] a resident insane with the boom boom so I I you know I'm enforcement is
[12:54] huge as we know um it's difficult when
[12:59] you know noise complaint is a little
[13:03] lower on the list of higher priorities
[13:05] in the city so I guess discussion and really what we can do would be
[13:11] appropriate and then I want to get to
[13:13] you Mr M I'd love to hear from the law
[13:15] office I think there are three different
[13:17] components there's the the code there is
[13:20] enforcement and then there is the legal
[13:22] background of how we serve these tickets
[13:25] uh so I think enforcement we've made
[13:26] considerable investments in like the uh
[13:29] the Drone program so drone is co
[13:31] responders that's something I'm very
[13:32] excited for I don't know if the police
[13:34] department is there yet with having a
[13:36] drone be able to respond to these types
[13:37] of lower level offenses but considerably
[13:40] if you can have just a drone identify
[13:42] hey the sound is there is that this
[13:44] address I think as long as we have the I
[13:47] don't want to get ahead of myself um but
[13:49] I do think we we have other responses
[13:51] other than actual officers responding in
[13:54] person Mr yeah in regards to the per
[13:57] it's um it's more of helping with the
[14:00] enforcement because you have a permited
[14:02] file there are contact information phone
[14:04] numbers so if the police department with
[14:07] somehow a back job they can make a call
[14:09] to this the permit holder and kind of
[14:11] remind them that they have a permit
[14:14] within certain time and if they over the
[14:15] permit they should uh you know turn the
[14:17] music off or turn it
[14:19] down if it's if it's music or if it's
[14:22] lot of noise they need to contain it
[14:25] within the um parameters
[14:29] more of control to help with the police
[14:31] department in making sure that um these
[14:34] things are addressed and most of the
[14:37] time they are not there they're busy
[14:39] doing other stuff more more serious
[14:41] business and these things just fall
[14:43] through the cracks and people are
[14:45] complaining that well I call the police
[14:47] and the police are not showing but there
[14:48] are a lot of things that they're doing
[14:49] that is factoring into that that they're
[14:52] not showing up but having the Drone as
[14:54] one of the options for the forest
[14:56] responder having the permit in place
[14:58] specif the the contact person the the
[15:01] name and address they can eventually
[15:04] know that on that straight this person
[15:05] called the forment I'm me need to
[15:07] contact that person absolutely uh any
[15:10] other questions or comments in sport
[15:12] field so I think we covered a lot about
[15:14] the um the noise at parties and
[15:17] Gatherings Etc but one of the other
[15:19] concerns and complaints that I hear and
[15:20] I don't know how we address this is
[15:22] about these modified Mufflers on cars
[15:24] now um so that is a concern that I've
[15:28] been hearing from from people somebody
[15:29] actually stopped by my house I was
[15:31] outside so it was okay and said like hey
[15:34] I got to talk to you about this and that
[15:36] was their concern you know they were
[15:37] like well you don't want me to go down
[15:38] there and and of course we don't so um I
[15:42] don't know how we address that
[15:43] particular thing or even if it's aoud
[15:45] but I think it's something we should
[15:47] consider as well not just the loudness
[15:49] of the musler but also some of the music
[15:50] from the Cars is louder than the
[15:53] parties if I me is one of the reason why
[15:55] I asked let's look at the standard for
[15:57] unreasonable noise and those were two
[15:59] coming from car mafal and they modifi
[16:02] speakers
[16:04] yeah Patrick I think it piggy back with
[16:07] some of the other things we've talked
[16:08] about as well in terms of even the
[16:09] speeding issue and traffic issue the
[16:11] noise um kind of goes hand in hand so I
[16:14] mean I think there's a lot of aspects
[16:16] for us to discuss and I think that you
[16:19] know I don't know if you were planning
[16:21] on you know what the next step be
[16:23] obviously we have to have a next step be
[16:26] like bringing together you know folks
[16:28] from
[16:29] um the police folks from legal folks
[16:32] from codes but I mean you know really
[16:34] being able to look at everything that we
[16:35] need to
[16:37] consider um I I just think it is
[16:39] something to
[16:41] pursue uh Mr Mayor is that a reasonable
[16:44] ask to see if the police man
[16:46] representative council
[16:48] meeting
[16:50] uh absolutely and again there we've
[16:53] deployed you know environmental sensors
[16:55] which also have acoustic sensors on it
[16:58] recent stayed away from shot spotter
[17:00] which was one of the uh companies that
[17:03] uh pioneered managing uh gunshot
[17:08] detection they've had
[17:10] some problems with their actual
[17:14] followup is they only worked on gunshots
[17:18] where there are other sounds that could
[17:21] be car crashes just general ambient
[17:25] noise and so we do have some of the
[17:27] ability to triangulate these
[17:29] locations and again it
[17:32] becomes uh decision of council it's in
[17:36] code now of the level of sound and then
[17:40] doing the enforcement and you all all
[17:44] know that
[17:45] again the number of calls that come in
[17:48] sometimes exceed our ability to respond
[17:51] to it use example the 4th of July give
[17:54] or take a day uh that music sounds could
[17:58] be part of it there are people are
[18:00] having parties or other good togethers
[18:02] but just the
[18:04] fireworks uh it
[18:07] challenges the resources and Williams
[18:11] has pointed out want people to have a
[18:12] good time enjoy it but how to do it in a
[18:16] manner where it doesn't have an adverse
[18:18] impact on the neighbors or uh the
[18:21] community as a whole so
[18:24] yes it's police department but there
[18:27] other options out there too that we
[18:30] could use to bring it in that we have
[18:32] deployed thank you mayor um definitely
[18:36] want to offer the opportunity for the
[18:37] Law Department to respond uh but i' say
[18:39] if you save your comments for the next
[18:41] consuma that be really appreciated just
[18:44] contacts on issue but if there are no
[18:46] other questions or comments I'm just ask
[18:48] to bring this back in two weeks and
[18:49] everyone just have a chance to highlight
[18:51] some areas and then I definitely making
[18:54] sure we put the proper context on
[18:56] evaluating this entire chapter we are
[18:59] looking at amending it just
[19:00] understanding the timeline with bring it

[22:37] I thank you the next item on the agenda
[22:41] is the uh discussion for the ceremonial
[22:44] naming of the city street Mr M thank you
[22:47] madam president um at the last committee
[22:50] meeting um before you was a draft
[22:55] resolution and then at the last
[22:57] committee in this the council meeting a
[23:01] petition was presented to us by the
[23:03] Marlin Hill relatives asking us to um
[23:08] consider um honoring Marlin Hill
[23:12] Legacy for her work that she has done in
[23:15] the city of conc and we're here
[23:18] discussing this in terms of either us
[23:20] passing a resolution just ceremony name
[23:23] a section a portion of um
[23:28] Barrett Street forly Bar Street between
[23:31] South Avenue and Haren Street Marlin
[23:33] Hillway and before us is the draft
[23:36] petition and you see that last cycle and
[23:39] the petition with over 600 um signatures
[23:44] m m before we go into discussion can I
[23:47] ask the Law Department to kind of guide
[23:49] us and if we were to move forward with
[23:51] this what do we need going the way it
[23:54] looks is uh I've looked at the
[23:57] signatures and there's enough to go
[23:58] forward with the public hearing for next
[24:00] week uh the ordinance uh calls for a
[24:03] public hearing and that then after you
[24:06] have the public hearing then you have
[24:08] the resolution for the ceremonial
[24:10] resolution and the the ordinance is
[24:12] pretty uh uh specific as to the process
[24:16] you all have to go through for a
[24:18] ceremonial resolution the the signatures where they're from um
