Resident asks police to increase citations for modified exhaust noise
Summary
A resident, Phil Strinkowski, told the council noise from modified vehicle exhausts remains a health and quality-of-life issue and reported citation counts (10–12 in 2023; eight in 2025), urging the police chief to increase enforcement.
Phil Strinkowski told the council he has repeatedly raised concerns about noise pollution from modified vehicle exhausts and cited his public-record review showing 10–12 citations issued in 2023 and eight in 2025.
He argued vehicle noise is a public-health hazard, citing studies and statements by national organizations and asked the council and city manager to direct the police chief to increase enforcement. Strinkowski said citation writing appears concentrated among a small number of officers and that disturbances remain frequent, especially on weekend nights.
The mayor offered to have the police chief speak with the resident in the foyer after the meeting and the council took no formal enforcement action at the meeting; the resident said he would follow up by email and read the city responses at a homeowner-association meeting.
