Council Minutes of 11/18/97 for the Rec Center roof which has to be done in 1998. The roof is 20 years old and it is '~ becoming a safety issue. There was some discussion about whether it would be better to have an engineer look at the overall picture and then do one project at a time. The matter will be taken up again at a future meeting. Mr. Nashar, Chairperson of the Public Safety, Health and Welfare Committee: 1) The Safety Committee met on November 11. Present were committee members Limpert, O'Grady and Nashar; Councilmen McKay, Musial and Lind; Directors Bohlmann, Kasler and Burns; Chief of Police Viola; City Engineer Deichmann; Finance Director-elect Copfer; Councilman-elect Mike Gareau Jr. and six residents from Virginia Avenue. Agenda items were as follows: a. Ordinance 97-100 which authorizes the installation of stop signs in the Bridgeport subdivision. The stop signs will be located at Maple Ridge and Sharon Drive, Woodview and Bridgeport, the entrance into Maple Ridge at Bridgeport and at the south end of the cul-de-sac. The committee recommended approval. b. Noise complaints coming from boom boxes and car stereos. Chief Viola noted that the city does have an ordinance pertaining to sound decibels which requires the use of a sound meter. Chief Viola and the Safety Committee recommended that this ordinance be amended and simplified by changing the sound decibel standard to excessive noise level up to a distance of 50 feet. This would allow the police to issue a citation for noise coming from car radios or boom boxes that are a nuisance to the residents in the neighborhoods. c. Residents who live on Virginia Avenue near the Claque Road curve are concerned because drivers have been going around school buses when children are being picked up and dropped off. Chief Viola said that he would take immediate action. Police cars will be in the area mornings and afternoons for the next few weeks and periodically thereafter. Mr. Nashar wished everyone a happy Thanksgiving. LEGISLATION Resolution No. 97-95 introduced by Mr. Nashar on behalf of Mayor Boyle and the entire Council was given its third reading.
