MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON NOVEMBER 25, 1996 <br />(#8 - Lafayette Ridge Tax Forfeit Property - Continued) <br />Hun moved, Kelley seconded, to abate the assessment and ask the County to cancel the <br />forfeiture, and to require the assoc^ ition to pay any costs incurred in the process by City <br />Staff and Attorney. The reason for this decision is based on the lack of any benefit to the <br />property owners who would be assessed Callahan suggested that it the assessment is to <br />be abated, it should be based on fairness to the property owners who were not informed <br />of the assessment, the passage of time since the assessment, and the demininous amount <br />of the assessment Gotten said she does not agree with the abatement Vote; Ayes 3, <br />Nays 2, Callahan, Goetten <br />(*h9) 1997 FEE SCHEDULE - DRAFT ORDINANCE - (INFORMATION ONLY) <br />The Council w as provided copies of the Draft Ordinance for the 1997 Fee Schedule <br />(#10) DRAFT NOISE ORDINANCE <br />Moorse reported that Staff is asking for Council's input on the drat) of the noise <br />ordinance <br />Kellev informed Moorse that he feels there is no need for the ordinance. <br />Hurr noted the police were requesting the ordinance. <br />Goetten indicated the ordinance would allow a resident to ca’’ ihe police to report a <br />violation of the ordinance and not need to be identified as a person reporting a nuisance <br />Kelley said he believes there is too much regulation and common sense should prevail. <br />Goetten said she feels some people lack common sense and show a need for such an <br />ordinance. <br />Jabbour noted there is a misconception that the level of sound is the problem when it can <br />be the pitch. <br />Callahan indicated the police see the need for an ordinance but not necessarily as drafted. <br />Harvey Reder, 3525 Livingston, said he read Ihe draft and would like to see it adopted. <br />He noted the reference to sound level and time of day on page 3, item 3C. He asked if <br />the wording could address the issue of unattended equipment, such as a 'boom box". <br />Reder believes it is unreasonable to force a resident to li.sten to music not of his liking <br />Callahan informed him the Council is not taking action at this time but only giving their <br />comments.
