Council Minutes of 09-01-2015 and 100% five-year survival rate after that and a post ten-year survival rate. Councilman Kearney commented as a prostate cancer survivor, he believes the Resolution is great and is much needed. Councilwoman Hemann stated that she is pleased to see more awareness being promoted for men's health in general, specifically cancer-related issues. Councilwoman Hemann made a motion to recommend approval of Resolution 2015-64. The motion was seconded by Councilman Kearney, and the committee voted 2-0 to recommend approval of Resolution 2015-64. The meeting was adjourned at 7:38 p.m. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Henry Gabriel, 4685 Canterbury Road said he was at a former Council meeting for the same problem which is car horn noise coming the Morris dealership. He thanked Councilman Brossard and Law Director Gareau for contacting Robert Morris. The car horn noise has become worse. He called the police last Thursday because of the noise. The explanation from Morris is that these are tire pressure tests making the noise. The noise is not due to tire pressure tests. Car horns are warning devices, and that's what they hear all day from 8:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. The prior owner, Great Northern Dodge, did not make noise like this. There is software available that Morris can use to find cars with radio signals instead of using horns. Gabriel asked how the Ordinances apply to this. Does the dealership have to be caught in the act, or are complaints enough? Gareau said they have to be caught committing the offense — using the car horns — in order to be violated for this. Basing it on the complaint alone would be difficult because the police would not know who is doing it, where it's coming from, etc. The police issues citations for violations like this that would take place in their presence. Gabriel said there are hundreds of car horn noises coming from Morris, and they are not being judicial about this situation. He thanked the city for helping and said he appreciates it. Councilman Brossard thanked Gabriel for doing the research on the software that's available, and he will approach Morris and ask them if they are aware of the software and consider using it. Mayor Kennedy said he will call Robert Morris tomorrow. Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane addressed the letter of communication signed by Councilman Brossard that was read at the August 18, 2015 Council meeting. He said he and Councilman Brossard have a personal dispute about an issue that originated with him receiving something from Councilman Brossard. He will not go into further detail because to him, it's a personal matter that he pursued in a personal way. The letter is not relevant to the business of Council. Lambert referenced the hearing to remove former Chairman Ubaldi from the Civil Service Commission. There was not one shred of evidence that Ubaldi did anything wrong. Councilman Brossard voted in favor of punitive action that would have gone on Ubaldi's permanent record when there was not one shred of evidence that he did anything wrong. It was a vicious and thoughtless act to do that to Ubaldi. Lambert said his letter to Councilman Brossard's employer is a private letter, and if he had no doubts about Brossard he would have thrown it away. He said he thought he would bring that out in retrospect while Councilman Brossard is busy reprimanding him for something the thought Lambert did to him when what Councilman Brossard's vote could have been damaging for life to Ubaldi. Gareau said he does not understand what Ubaldi's situation has to do with what Councilman Brossard addressed. 4
