City staff begin review of noise ordinance updates, including fines and time restrictions
Summary
City Manager Jason Monroe and Assistant Police Chief Scott Tracy discussed possible changes to the city's noise ordinance, including maximum fines, time constraints, a 50-foot rule, and whether noise rules belong in the nuisance code; no formal draft or vote was taken.
City Manager Jason Monroe and Assistant Police Chief Scott Tracy briefed the Board on potential updates to Frankfort’s noise ordinance. They suggested examining maximum fines, allowable hours, a 50-foot proximity rule, and how property-rights issues could affect enforcement. Staff noted the current ordinance primarily addresses construction noise and that the broader nuisance code might be a suitable place for expanded noise rules.
No draft ordinance or formal action was presented at the work session; staff signaled they will continue discussions and may bring proposals back to the Board for future consideration.
