Regular Council Meeting 12-16-02 Page 22 There were no comments. ANY OTHER MATTER THAT MAY COME BEFORE COUNCIL Several people extended wishes for happy holidays. Council President Buckholtz said I just wanted to mention I talked to Lt. Dearden before; it comes up every couple of years-the light at Raleigh-a bunch of residents are talking about why it can't be shut off at night or turned to a blinking light at night. We've already spoken about it just for the record--- Lt. Dearden questioned what's a bunch. A brief informal discussion was held. Lt. Dearden will look into it. Mrs. Mills said a lady living across the street from the car wash is complaining about the noise. When the blowers are going, it is just something else. I don't know if they can be baffled down or--- A brief informal discussion was held. Mrs. Mills said maybe when Bernie comes back; Debbie, will you have him check into that for me? Mayor Rinker said let's get as much as you can from her; the hours; describe it. There are ways you can check decibel levels; you can rate these things. If it is a nuisance issue, we can impose upon them--- Mrs. Mills said I told her Mr. Samac was on vacation and wouldn't be back for 10 days. Dr. Parker said there is probably a maximum number of decibels so far away from the sidewalk that they'd have to meet-- Council President Buckholtz said as long as we're bringing it up, and I made this statement to a number of people and I know it's in the record very clearly; we have total control through the Police Department of deciding that traffic situation over there and I know we're talking about 3 different things. We can make them hire an attendant to control traffic. It's up to our Police Department to decide if they're impeding traffic with the addition of that. '_ 1 Mayor Rinker addressed Lt. Dearden and asked, have we had any indications that traffic is already an issue?
