Review of Noise Pollution Ordinance - Mayor Reiman stated that her office is receiving calls regarding noise pollution such as dogs barking, vehicles being worked on at homes at hours that disturb neighbors, and a restaurant with a loud speaker outside entertaining the people waiting to enter the restaurant but not the residents that could hear the speaker noise. Last year IACT brought on a full time man, Brad Garten, because other cities received complaints regarding noise pollution. Mayor Reiman said she would like the Council to appoint a committed of three (3) to review model ordinances from several other cities so as to bring ours more in line with regard to noise. She stated that some cities, such as Frankfort, have a sign as you enter the city stating they are on the lookout for noise pollution. Jim Garretson thought we ought to review the ordinances but that we should consider that some noise is natural and that we couldn't expect the city to be a "funeral home or a library" and that some noise cannot be avoided. Virginia Kerr suggested that if there were enough copies that each Council member should have one to review and consider if further action needed to be taken. Discussion ensued and copies were passed out to the council members. Dave Coots stated he thought that laws that couldn't be uniformly applied should not be on the books.
