City Manager Hooper informed him it has been based on cost.
Councilwoman Lichter asked City Manager Hooper to check into how
much more it is. City Manager Hooper stated it is about a three
to one cost. Councilwoman Rhodes suggested trying it for a
couple of months and see if they get more response and if it
doesn't then they can go back to the Observer.
Mayor Schmidt asked for them to research and see what the
circulation is of just the Daily Journal and they will do a
comparison. City Manager Hooper agreed to bring this back on
December 15th.
Councilwoman Rhodes stated she had a complaint from Pelican Cove
West regarding the noise from the No Name Saloon during the Poker
Run Sunday a week ago.
Councilwoman Rhodes asked Police Chief Ignasiak if he had a lot
of complaints. He informed her no. Councilwoman Rhodes stated
she said the music went on until 9:45 p.m. and it was supposed to
stop at 9:00 p.m.
City Manager Hooper asked Fire Chief Barlow if Code Enforcement
was there. Fire Chief Barlow stated they took readings and he
has made several attempts to contact the lady and he hasn't been
able to get a hold of her.
City Manager Hooper stated he thinks there were complaints early
when it started.
Councilwoman Rhodes asked if there is some way they can work out
where it isn't a cause and effect kind of thing, where it is kept
below the decibel level. After three warnings, if you can't keep
the noise below the decibel level, you will not be able to have
these types of events. City Manager Hooper stated generally that
is what they do.
Councilwoman Rhodes stated every time there is a complaint at the
No Name they get two or three calls. There needs to be a system
in place where it does not ever go above. City Manager Hooper
stated they can have Code Enforcement there to monitor it but it
is going to cost and it is expensive. Councilwoman Rhodes feels
then they need to pay for it.
Councilman Vincenzi agreed with Councilwoman Rhodes.

She feels they should be there until the end of the event and the
people having the occasion should pay for it.
