Resident asks county to intervene after repeated loud-music complaints to sheriff
Summary
A resident, Derek Hay, told commissioners he and other neighbors have repeatedly called the sheriff about a neighbor's loudspeaker music but said deputies told him the county has no ordinance to control such noise; he asked the board to help resolve the dispute.
During the public-comment portion of the meeting, Derek Hay of Rocky Mount/Hawesville Road told commissioners he has reported a neighbor's loud outdoor music to the sheriff's office more than 20 times but said the problem persists and that deputies told him the county lacks an ordinance to control the noise.
Hay said the neighbor uses large speakers and that the music can be heard inside his home with windows and doors closed. He told the board he located a relevant provision online (he cited a section he identified as "30-28" describing music-related regulations) and asked the board to help resolve the problem.
Commissioners thanked Hay for raising the concern. No formal action was recorded in the transcript excerpt; staff advised how to submit citizen-comment information to the clerk and reminded speakers of public-comment rules.
