Cave City Council votes to align noise ordinance with Entertainment District rules
Summary
The Cave City Council voted unanimously Jan. 12 to amend the local noise ordinance to conform with Entertainment District Ordinance 25-2-4 after a Roxglass Music Venue owner raised timing conflicts; council also approved minutes, rescheduled the next meeting and adjourned at 6:10 p.m.
The Cave City Council on Jan. 12 unanimously approved an amendment to the city's noise ordinance to bring it into compliance with Entertainment District Ordinance 25-2-4 after a local venue owner described scheduling conflicts.
Matt Stasel, owner of Roxglass Music Venue, told the council the venue faces timing inconsistencies between the existing noise ordinance and the rules governing the Entertainment District, prompting discussion about aligning the two sets of rules.
Council member Ronald Coffey moved "to amend the noise ordinance to comply with the EDC Ordinance 25-2-4," and Council member Andrew Bagshaw seconded. The council recorded roll-call votes of Denny Doyle-yes, Andrew Bagshaw-yes, Clifton Parsley-yes and Ronald Coffey-yes; the motion passed 4-0.
The amendment was the meeting's primary substantive action. Council members did not provide further details in the transcript about specific ordinance language changes, implementation timing, or enforcement provisions; those details were not specified during the session.
Earlier in the meeting, the council approved its December regular session minutes after a motion by Clifton Parsley, seconded by Ronald Coffey, which passed 4-0. Council also agreed to move the next regular meeting to Feb. 16 so the city attorney could attend, following a motion by Ronald Coffey and a second by Clifton Parsley; that motion likewise passed 4-0.
The meeting opened at 5:00 p.m. with the pledge of allegiance and an invocation led by City Attorney Bobby Richardson. Mayor Hatcher noted the presence of Council members Denny Doyle, Andrew Bagshaw, Clifton Parsley and Ronald Coffey, Barren River ADD Community Development Specialist Matt Pedigo, Code Enforcement Officer Karisa Waddle and Clerk Bonita Hendren. The meeting adjourned at 6:10 p.m.
The council did not specify in the transcript the exact text of the ordinance amendment or when the revised ordinance will take effect; the council or staff would need to publish the ordinance language and effective date in a subsequent record for further details.
