During a recent city council meeting, residents voiced concerns over noise disturbances from a new business that opened in their neighborhood just two weeks prior. Victoria Pelham, a local resident, expressed frustration over her inability to sleep due to excessive noise, despite having reported the issue to the police and the city’s action center.

Pelham sought guidance from the council on the next steps for citizens facing similar issues, highlighting the apparent ineffectiveness of existing noise ordinances. She noted that, according to the ordinances, the business should have its volume regulated, yet no action had been taken.

In response, council members assured Pelham that staff would follow up with her to confirm whether her complaints had been properly filed and to discuss potential enforcement challenges. The council emphasized their commitment to addressing residents' concerns and ensuring that community standards are upheld.
