CASSELBERRY CITY CONIMISSION Minutes of April 8, 2024 — Regular Mecting Page 8 of 11 Discussion: Discussion ensued which included the definition of "continuous sound", questions about how other cities defined that term, and concerns that the proposed definition citing a one -second duration may be too restrictive; the fact that the proposed ordinance was drafted using language from the current Seminole County ordinance and also from the most recently adopted ordinances of other cities in Seminole County; differences in restrictions on sound levels during daytime and nighttime hours; timelines and distances related to proposed noise restrictions; clarification related to restrictions on amplified sounds; and the rationale for the addition of "noise control officers" rather than enforcement being handled by the police as it had been historically. Community Development Director Chris Schmidt clarified that the police would still be used for mostly after hours calls on a non -emergency basis, but for calls during the daytime, utilizing Code officers to respond, as well, would give more flexibility for response to calls rather than strictly relying on the police. Additional discussion ensued regarding additional concerns about the continuous sound definition potentially being too restrictive and situations where the yard maintenance exemptions may not apply. Ms. Reischmann advised that before second reading of the ordinance, she would look at the concerns brought up relating to continuous sound to see if adjustments to the definition should be made; the restrictions on daytime noise, to see if the proposed restrictions were more or less restrictive than the surrounding cities; and whether the language relating to proposed exemptions should be broadened. Mr. Newlon suggested that as the Commissioners further reviewed the proposed ordinance before second reading, they should let him know if they had any suggestions for changes or any specific concerns, and lie would share those with staff so they could have information available to address those concerns at second reading. Budget Impact: There is no impact on the City's budget. Recommendation: The City Manager and the Community Development Director recommended approval of Ordinance 24-1599 on first reading. Audience Participation: No one came forward to address Ordinance 24-1599. MOTION: Commissioner Divita moved to approve Ordinance 24-1599 on first reading, as presented.
