Commission asks member to draft noise ordinance after reviewing Burlington and Village models
Summary
Staff provided sample noise ordinances from Burlington and the Village of Manchester; commissioners discussed a possible 10:00 p.m. cutoff and fines and Leon Ward volunteered to draft a proposal with staff assistance for the next meeting.
Staff supplied the Commission with two sample noise ordinances—one from the City of Burlington and another from the Village of Manchester—and commissioners discussed which problems a local ordinance should address.
Discussion included whether to set a 10:00 p.m. cutoff for certain noise and whether a $500 fine could be appropriate, with the possibility of issuing a warning before a ticket. Commissioner Leon Ward volunteered to draft a proposed ordinance and staff agreed to meet with him to assist with the draft ahead of the next meeting.
