Resident urges more sound monitoring at town amphitheater and warns of low financial reserves

A virtual resident addressing the committee said she and neighbors continue to experience intrusive noise from amphitheater concerts and urged the town to implement independent sound monitoring and mitigation. She said a Colorado Open Records request for sound measurements taken on June 6 was denied by staff as attorney-client privileged; she disputed that claim and asked for transparency about monitoring results. "I measured, like, a 115 decibels," the resident said of the June 6 concert.

The same resident also raised budget concerns, saying an auditor reported Dillon has roughly three months of reserves while the auditor would prefer closer to 18 months; she cited the town spending "almost $400,000 on a new lighting system for the amphitheater" while neighbors remain without promised sound monitoring. The resident asked committee members to observe sound checks and shows and pointed to other communities (Hollywood Bowl, Breckenridge, Frisco) as examples of sound-management practices. Committee members thanked the resident; staff did not announce immediate policy changes during the meeting.
