The Warren Town Council meeting held on September 9, 2025, focused on two significant issues: the placement of trees in Bursey Hill Park and ongoing noise complaints related to amplified music from La Pinata restaurant.

During the meeting, council members discussed the need for a public workshop to gather community input on tree planting in Bursey Hill Park. A motion was made to table the final design until the next meeting in October, allowing time for a workshop to be scheduled. The council emphasized the importance of involving residents in the decision-making process regarding tree placement, aiming to ensure that the trees enhance the park without becoming a hindrance.

The second major topic addressed was the noise complaints from residents living near La Pinata. Neighbors expressed their frustrations over amplified outdoor music, which they claimed disrupts their quality of life, particularly during evening hours. They urged the council to review the current sound measurement policies, arguing that the existing decibel limits do not adequately protect residents from disturbances. Suggestions included lowering the maximum allowable decibel level and potentially establishing a curfew for outdoor music.

La Pinata's owner, Diego Contreras, responded to the complaints, stating that he is willing to cooperate and adjust the music levels. He emphasized that the restaurant aims to provide a pleasant dining experience without imposing on neighbors. The council discussed the possibility of conducting a site visit to assess the noise levels firsthand and proposed a show cause hearing to address the ongoing issues formally.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to balance the interests of local businesses and residents, highlighting the need for clear and consistent regulations regarding outdoor entertainment. The council plans to revisit these discussions in the upcoming meetings, aiming to find a solution that satisfies both parties.
