Council hears repeated complaints about modified vehicle exhaust; asks about enforcement
Summary
Council members raised repeated complaints about loud modified vehicle exhaust in multiple neighborhoods and asked whether a local ordinance exists and if police can enforce it.
Council members raised ongoing complaints about vehicles with modified exhaust rattling windows in residential areas, particularly near Econo Mart and along North 35. One council member described daily incidents and said the noise "rattles the windows on my hands out every day, multiple over and over." Another asked whether the city has an ordinance prohibiting modified exhaust and whether the police department has authority to enforce it.
The mayor said the chief was at a conference and council members asked staff to follow up on whether the existing ordinance is enforceable by police and how enforcement could be improved. No formal ordinance change was proposed at the meeting; the item remained a request for staff follow-up.
