Board delays noise ordinance until certified sound reviewer is identified
Summary
Board members said a proposed noise ordinance was introduced but not adopted because the township lacks a certified noise reviewer; members discussed certifying a town employee or using county/outside resources.
Board members discussed a proposed noise ordinance that had been introduced but not adopted because Nutley currently lacks a certified noise reviewer to make ordinance enforcement operational. The staff member explained the certification requirement and said, "To be fully operational, you have to have a certified noise person, on staff for the town. We don't have anybody who's been certified at this point in time, so we have to get one of the town employees certified."
Participants discussed options including designating Essex Regional as the expert, adopting the ordinance and then hiring a local expert later, or using a county or outside resource to provide certification services; the Chair noted the town could designate an outside expert in the ordinance if desired. No adoption vote was taken.
