Votes at a glance: Loudon City Council approves noise ordinance, safety contracts and rezoning procedural safeguards
Summary
The council approved an amendment to the noise ordinance, authorized continuation of a safety contract, approved surplus-safety items and advanced the River Road rezoning with added historic-zone conditions; recorded roll-call votes were taken on some ordinances.
At its monthly meeting the Loudon City Council approved several measures and set follow-up steps for a rezoning matter.
Key votes and outcomes
- Ordinance: Title 11, Chapter 5 (noise/offenses against peace and quiet) — Passed on second reading. Roll-call responses recorded in the transcript: Council member Cardwell (Aye), Vice Mayor Dixon (Aye), Council member Newman (No), Mayor Jeff Harris (Aye). The measure was approved as read.
- Rezoning: 2492 River Road (tax-map partials 36 and 37) — Council approved a motion on first reading to rezone the parcels to a Small Plan Development District as amended to require that rezoning only take effect upon approval of a final SPD plan consistent with the conceptual plan and upon designation of parcels 36 and 37 as a historic zone by the Loudoun Historic Zoning Commission; the motion passed and a public hearing/second-reading step was scheduled for October (the transcript contains inconsistent October date references).
- Contract continuation: 'Block safety operating system' contract — Council authorized continuation of the contract (motion and voice vote; recorded as approved by voice).
- Surplus-safety equipment — Council approved the safety department’s surplus-equipment list (motion, second and voice vote).

Staff disclosed a low bulk fuel quote from Rogers Petroleum for a projected amount of $1,700,532 and reported a debt-obligation disclosure related to a $32,505,000 bond refunding for the water and sewer department; those reports were informational and required acknowledgement rather than a vote.
Several department and planning updates were provided and staff and council noted upcoming community events (a downtown Halloween event on Oct. 26 and a Dec. 6 tree-lighting) and the city-manager search timeline (application deadline Sept. 30).
