Resident warns proposed Moose Lodge event center could bring noise, policing issues
Summary
A public commenter urged Council to scrutinize a proposal for the former Moose Lodge to become a nightclub or event center serving alcohol, citing past police calls at similar venues and pointing Council to municipal noise‑control code (chapter 8).
A public commenter (identified by the Chair as "Mister Malinaro" when he was called to speak) described concerns about a proposal to convert the former Moose Lodge into a nightclub or event center that would serve alcohol and host weddings and other events. He cautioned that a similar situation with a VFW hall had generated police complaints as the neighborhood changed and asked Council to consider potential noise and licensing impacts.
He also recommended Council review the municipal noise‑control code (chapter 8) and noted the city had previously partnered to respond to neighborhood complaints. "They had bands... they had birthday parties... they had alcohol," the commenter said of the prior venue’s history; he concluded his time asking Council to watch the permitting process and return if the issue persists.
