C
You're,
muted

it's
not
a
it's,
not
a
meeting,
not
a
virtual
meeting,
unless
somebody
leaves
their
sorry
microphone
off.
All
good,
hey,
I'm
sure
it'll,
probably
be
me
in
a
little
bit:
Jeff
Santiago
here,
David
Ledger
prison,
Carmelo,
papillonio.
E
C
C
D
C
And
David
Ledger
yeah
and
a
for
me
as
well
Okay,
so
we've
approved
the
minutes
of
our
December
12th
meeting.
So
all
right.
So
moving
on
to
the
staff
report,
I
understand
that
Todd's
not
here
for
the
board,
I,
don't
I,
hope
everyone's
had
an
opportunity
to
take
a
look
at
this.
It's
actually
a
new
format
as
you'll
see
on
the
agenda.
C
So
it's
basically
it's
now
grouped
by
complaints
by
Source
by
month,
and
then
it's
followed
by
a
graph
of
the
type
of
complaints
and
then
number
of
multi-family
complaints
and
the
status
of
investigated
complaints.
C
Yeah,
it's
it's
interesting
to
be
able
to
see
the
side-by-side
comparison
from
month
to
month,
especially
when
it
comes
to
complaint
type.
Rick.
You
have
your
hand
up
yeah.
F
A
Yeah,
so
we
did
try
to
achieve
that.
So
let
me
bounce
back
over
to
this
tab,
real
quick,
so
we've
actually
launched
a
new
public
dashboard.
A
That
kind
of
coincides
with
the
staff
report
and
it
will
be
able
to
show
you
the
month-to-month
comparisons,
except
for
some
reason.
It's
not
showing
up
right
now
that
is
weird
hold
on
I
can
pull
it
up
from
over.
Here
I'll
have
to
fix
that
link
later.
A
Okay,
so
again,
I'm
sorry
about
that
link,
not
working
on
the
agenda.
I'll
have
to
look
into
that.
It
was
working
the
other
day,
but
we
made
some
tweaks
on
this
since
then,
and
maybe
it
broke
the
link,
but
basically
I
know
it's
kind
of
hard
to
see
on
here.
Probably,
but
we've
made
it
so
you
can
compare
2023
to
2022
and
2021.
oh
by
month,
starting
from
when
we,
the
ordinance,
went
into
effect.
A
Thank
you.
This
was
a
big
lift
on
Daniel's
part.
He
did
a
really
great
job
on
it,
and
and
Claire
Richardson
helped
out
a
lot
too
as
well.
So
thank
you
thank
her
too,
as
well.
Okay,
great
that's,
really
helpful.
C
I
and
I
just
had
a
one
question
on
here
from
the
status
of
investigative
complaints,
but
I
can
always
take
it
up
with
Todd
after
the
fact,
if,
if
no
one
here
can
answer
that,
and
that
is
just
the
ongoing
investigation,
modern
monitoring
is
like
it
says:
zero
across
the
board
until
December
and
then
it
says,
34.
C
A
I'm
thinking
that
it
probably
means
that
he's
closed
out
the
complaints
with
another
closure
code
would
be
my
my
guess.
So,
ideally,
we
shouldn't
have
too
many
ongoing
investigating
monitoring
monitoring,
because,
after
a
certain
point
of
Investigation,
we
will
close
the
case.
We
can
always
reopen
a
case
if
complaints
continue
to
come
in,
but
there
is
a
point
we
like
to
get
to
closure
with
cases
and
so
I'm
thinking
that
that's
probably
what
that
is
indicating
that
there's
programs
that
we've
closed
the
cases.
A
G
C
All
good
well,
thanks
for
all
the
work
that
you
put
into
this,
because
this
definitely
I
feel
like
makes
it
a
lot
easier
to
see
everything
all
at
once,
and
especially,
you
know
with
that
other
document
that
we'll
we'll
get
so.
C
Thanks
thanks
for
that,
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
the
board
before
we
move
on
okay.
So
next
order
of
business
is
the
old
business,
which
is
the
waste
hauler
update
and
is
this?
Is
this
the
because
we
have
this
on
here
twice
both
under?
We
have
the
recommendation,
and
so
was
the
update
that
this.
This
is
something
you
were
going
to
give
us
right.
Haley
or
somebody
from
the
city
was
going
to
give
us.
A
That
was
something
Rick
was
going
to
provide
and
then
I.
So
there's
two
different
discussions.
I
think
there
was
an
actual
update
on
the
topic
of
ways
taller
and
where
you
won't,
you
were
kind
of
taking
that
and
then
the
second
portion
is
when
we
discussed
the
annual
report
and
what's
going
to
go
into
that.
F
F
So
she
read
my
proposal
and
informed
to
me
that
there
is
a
broader
set
of
evaluations
going
on
in
her
part
of
the
city
departments,
Public
Works
in
general
that
are
going
to
make
a
bunch
of
recommendations
for
you
know
future
improvements
in
public
works,
and
she
wanted
me
to
consider
sort
of
pushing
this
off
for
a
month.
F
I
said
I
was
not
fond
of
that,
because
it
it
they
will
miss
the
opportunity
to
give
an
update
to
city
council.
So
I
encouraged
her
to
look
at
the
language
that
we
have
and
that
she
could
make
any
recommendations.
I
think
the
the
top
thing
she
was
concerned
about
was
in
the
recommendation,
which
you
will
see
in
the
next
section.
F
I
included
the
waste
haulers
in
the
discussion
and
I
have
a
feeling
that
the
direction
that
this
is
likely
to
go
is
to
at
some
point,
generate
rfps
to
waste
haulers,
which
means
they
may
not
be
able
to
be
engaged
in
the
discussion,
because
there's
just
laws
about
how
that
sort
of
thing
works.
So
my
goal
is
to
try
again
this
week
to
to
get
her
attention
and
and
I
said
she
could
make
adjustments
to
the
language
at
this
stage
of
the
game.
F
F
If
I
don't
hear
from
her
I'll
remove
waste
haulers
from
the
recommendation,
which
is
the
only
thing
that
she
shared
any
concerns
about
since
this
all
just
asks.
The
city
asks
the
council
to
ask
the
city
manager
to
establish
a
task
force.
The
exact
makeup
of
that
task
force
would
still
be
driven
by
the
city,
so
I
think
we'll
be
okay,
foreign.
C
We're
going
to
move
on
to
new
business,
which
is
the
annual
report,
is
the
first
order
of
business.
So
the
annual
report
from
the
board
is
due
on
the
I
believe
it's
the
21st
of
this
month,
and
so
that
is
put
together
by
myself
and
Rick
as
chair
and
vice
chair,
and
so
we
have
been
working
on
that
and
really
what
it's
about
is
the
recommendations
that
we
want
to
make
to
city
council
after
we've.
C
Now
that
we've
been
meeting
for
over
a
year
together
to
make
recommendations
based
on
what
we've
seen
from
the
data
that
has
been
gathered
through
City
staff
and
through
public
input.
So
we,
the
first
thing
that
we've
talked
about
is
we've
had
the
vehicle
noise
working
group
that
rev
has
been
spearheading
for
us,
and
so
that's
the
first
thing
that
we
want
to
discuss.
There's
a
link
in
the
agenda
to
the
recommendation.
C
C
There
we
go
and
so
rev
do
you
want
to
take
us
through
your
recommendation.
D
Sure
the
recommendation
is
really
the
first
paragraph
and
the
rest
is
background.
Information
and
I
can
read
it
task.
Force
proposes
at
the
NAB
recommend
to
the
city
council
that
direct
a
city
manager
to
empower
NAB
to
work
with
City
staff,
on
a
revised
ordinance
to
reduce
vehicular
noise
from
intentional
engine
revving
and
modified
exhaust
systems.
D
You'll
recall
the
last
time
we
discussed
this.
There
was
some
confusion
about
the
Precedence
that
I
had
found
through
research
and
that
those
were
not
necessarily
recommendations
to
the
council,
but
starting
points
for
us
to
begin
to
think
about
what
we
could
do
with
respect
to
measures
for
decreasing
noise,
but
that
that's
the
proposal,
that's
the
recommendation
and
the
rest
is
just
is
background
research
into
what
our
task
force
discovered.
D
C
Thank
you
so
that
so
basically
board
the
the
recommendation
is
to
for
Council
to
tell
city
the
city
manager
to
work
with
us
in
revising
the
ordering
ordinance,
and
so
it's
basically
just
asking
them
to
have
the
city
engage
with
us
in
order
to
to
make
that
happen,
and
this
is,
as
we
talked
about
was
something
that
we
saw,
we
could
have
an
opportunity
to
actually
have
some
impact.
C
You
know,
as
we
know,
vehicle
noise
is
especially
you
know
in
CBD
is
something
that's
been
a
concern,
so
I
personally
think
it's
a
it's
a
good
recommendation
that
I
would
love
to
put
forward
to
City
Council
of
to.
Let
us
have
a
chance
to
see
if
we
can't
tackle
this
and
work
with
the
city
to
to
get
somewhere
on
it.
H
Well,
I
think
that
makes
sense
to
me
just
a
Cooperative
effort.
E
E
It
just
seems
like
rev
you're,
trying
to
hone
into
some
more
specific
language.
I
know
that
you
we
talked
about
the
specific
DBS
last
time,
but
I
mean
the
language
is
probably
going
to
be
more
important
for
being
out
in
the
field,
because
this
is
one
of
those
discretion.
Things
like
we
were
talking
about,
like
I
said
last
week,
but
last
year,
I
guess
but
yeah
you,
you
just
want
more
specific
language
regarding
the
Mufflers
lack
thereof,
modifications
and
revving
and
stuff.
E
It
sounds
like
to
give
more
I
guess
discretion
to
to
officers
out
in
the
field.
For
that.
C
Yeah
and
I
think
the
the
other
part
of
that
is
that
you
know
seeing
some
of
the
research
that
Reb's
done
so
far
that
some
things
that
have
worked
in
terms
of
signage
and
things
like
that
in
other
places
like
Greenville
may
be
part
of
a
recommendation
and
a
a
way
that
we
can
do
some
other
initiatives
that
can
help
with
with
with
this
issue.
So
on
top
of
of
not
only
I,
see
this
as
not
only
revising
the
ordinance
in
that
regard,
but
other
ways
that
we
can
have
some
actionable
things
to
do.
C
C
Rick
said
the,
if
just
to
reiterate,
if
he
can't
get
a
hold
of
city,
the
city
employee,
that's
in
charge
of
this
will
basically
take
waste
hauler
out
of
the
language
in
terms
of
the
having
the
seat
at
the
table.
C
Task
force,
yeah
would
include
so
basically,
the
sentence
that
would
change
would
be.
This
task
force
would
include
waste,
haulers,
CBD
business
owner
CBD
residents
and
sanitation
staff.
Its
goal
determine
a
plan
that
would
continue
to
improve
Public
Safety,
protect
the
businesses
of
the
waste
haulers
minimize
waste,
pickup
costs
to
CBD
businesses
and
change
morning,
waste
pickup
to
as
late
as
possible.
F
Yeah,
that's
now
that
I
read
it
for
the
hundredth
time,
the
protect
the
business
of
the
waste
haulers
that
might
have
to
go
to.
C
F
And
and
I
say
that,
based
on
what
research
I've
been
able
to
do
about
other
cities
that
have
done
this,
they
they
haven't
necessarily
made
sure
that
every
one
like
I
think
it
was
New.
York
had
95
different
waste
haulers
that
were
servicing
the
downtown
area
and
by
the
time
they
got
done,
dividing
up
the
city
into
manageable,
quadrants
and
taking
out
rfps.
F
They
didn't
necessarily
still
employ
95
waste
haulers,
which
is
probably
why
City
staff
wants
me
to
remove,
remove
them
from
this,
because
they
should
reserve
the
right
to
say
here:
are
the
four
zones
making
that
up
and
we're
going
to
take
RFP
on
for
each
of
those
zones
and
that
might
only
lead
to
one
or
two
or
three
or
four
waste
dollars
period?
If
that's
what's
best
for
the
city,
so
assume
that
both
of
those
sentences,
those
fragment
of
sentences,
would
come
out.
E
Carmelo
am
I
mistaken
in
interpreting.
That
is,
there's
a
possibility
that
we
would
do
away
potentially
with
one
of
the
waste
hauling
companies
or
I
might
have
misunderstood.
Can
can
you
elaborate
on
because
I
I
understand
what
you
mean
when
you
say
protect
the
business
of
waste
haulers,
because
that
was
an
important
point
that
we
talked
about
in
the
past
few
meetings
where
it's
like?
F
E
With
Cattails,
oh
yeah,
which
is
happening
a
lot
to
some
of
us
but
but
yeah,
no,
you
you
talked
about
New
York
is
the
example
with
having
you
know,
almost
100
different
companies
or
entities,
and
then
some
of
those
you
said,
got
dissolved
or
broken
up
or
that
the
figuration
changed
or
what?
What
parallels?
Do
you
see?
What
possibilities
do
you
see
and
like
what?
What
do
you
can
we
talk
more
about
that
sorry.
E
F
I
we
can.
We
can
talk
about
Rick's
opinion,
but
the
objective
of
the
task
force
is
to
have
experts
jump
in
and
make
these
decisions,
and
so
both
of
those
things
I'm
responding
to
feedback
one
email
feedback
from
the
leader
of
this.
That
said,
this
might
not
be
something
that
waste
haulers
should
be
at
the
table.
On
and
I
didn't
read
the
125-page
report
from
New
York
nor
the
three-year
later
update
on
where
they
are.
F
So
they
can
optimize
their
routes
right,
whereas
today
15
businesses,
all
on
the
same
alley,
can
hire
15
different
waste
haulers
to
come
in
and
that's
hypothetically
the
reason
that
they
have
to
start
at
five
o'clock
in
the
morning
because
they
have
to
wait
for
the
other
14
to
get
out
of
the
way.
So
my
understanding
about
City
contracts
and
rfps
if
they
elect
to
go
that
way,
they
can't
really
have
waste
haulers
in
the
negotiation,
because
it
will
look
like
they're
screwing
around
and
getting
the
RFP
to
be
written
to
their
satisfaction.
F
So
I
can't
forecast
whether
the
four
or
five
waste
haulers
that
serve
the
city
will
all
get
a
segment.
I
can't
forecast
whether
there
will
be
five
segments.
Three
segments,
14
segments,
that's
up
to
the
task
force
to
do
that
and
I
think
we
need
support
from
a
sanitation
department
when
the
city
manager
calls
them
and
says:
hey
city
council
just
told
me
to
do
this
and
here's
the
recommendation
and
we
want
their
support
to
be
willing
to
look
at
it.
F
C
I
thought
I
thought
it
made
sense
too,
to
have
them
have
a
seat
at
the
table,
but
you
know
the
way
that
you
explain
it
now
is
like,
unless
you're
going
to
have
every
single
one
have
a
seat
at
the
table
that
you
know.
If
they
decide
to
go
that
route
of
doing
an
RFP,
then
it
does
seem
like
it's.
Some
sort
of
like
favoritism
of
some
waste
haulers
had
an
opportunity
to
have
a
seat
at
the
table,
and
others
didn't
and
so.
F
It's
even
who
gets
to
see
the
RFP
is
very
controlled,
I
I,
don't
think
the
residents
will
be
able
to
get
to
see
the
RFP.
The
residents
will
be
engaged
in
what
they
see
is
the
problem
and
what
they're
hoping
the
outcome
would
be
and
etc,
etc.
That
sort
of
thing,
and
certainly
the
businesses,
if
I,
had
a
business
in
the
CBD
I'd,
be
saying
as
long
as
you
can
get
my
trash
out
for
the
same
amount
I'm
paying
now
it's
the
same
frequency
I'm
paying
then
I
would
be
happy.
F
But
when
the
city
sits
down
to
write
an
RFP,
it
has
to
be
behind
privacy,
doors
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
You
know
so
that
if,
if
they
go
that
way,
I
I,
we
can't
judge
a
task
force
has
to
decide,
and
certainly
if
this
gets
approved
by
city
council,
then
NAB
will
be
looking
for
members
of
this
team
that
want
to
be
on
that
task.
Force
right.
G
C
Yep:
okay,
thanks
for
that
Rick,
any
other
questions
or
comments
about
the
waste
hauler
recommendation,
okay,
so
moving
on
Citywide
ordinance,
Effectiveness
survey.
So
the
the
thought
with
this
in
terms
of
a
recommendation
to
the
city
is
that
we
know
that
the
original
survey
that
the
city
created
for
import
for
input
about
noise
was
had
one
of
the
highest
levels
of
Civic
engagement
of
surveys
that
the
city
has
put
out.
So
now.
C
What
we're
thinking
is
now
that
the
ordinance
has
been
in
in
effect
for
over
a
year,
that
it
would
be
wise
to
do
Ace
a
similar
survey
than
was
done
before
to
see
if
we
can
Garner
the
same
amount
of
Engagement.
So
we
have
the
amount
of
you
know
we'll
get
into
the
next
part
with
the
decibel
level
working
update,
and
we
know
that
Rick
and
Jeff
have
been
working
on
that
in
terms
of
reaching
out
to
people
who
have
made
complaints,
but
it
would
be
good
to
get
a
larger
sample.
C
I'm
I'm
thinking
of
of
what,
where
the
city's
at
where
residents
are
at
in
terms
of
how
effective
the
noise
ordinance
has
been
I,
think
it'll
help
us
to
see
if
people
are
just
choosing
not
to
are
still
seeing
some
issues
or
problems,
but
aren't
engaging
in
the
in
the
portal
to
do
that
or
reporting
it
or
they
feel
like
it's
going
great.
It
just
I
think
it
would
be
really
good
to
have
a
larger
sample
size.
So
definitely
talking.
H
I
agree
with
your
points
as
well:
I
mean
just
to
get
a
better
sense
of
how
everyone
is
feeling
about
where
we
stand
and
how
it's
been
this
past
year
is
important.
I
think
you
know
as
as
a
board
as
we
start
diving
down
and
getting
more
specific
as
what
we've
been
doing
this
past
year.
H
You
know
people
with
certain
issues
might
be
continuing
to
engage
with
us,
but
a
lot
of
other
people
are
just
kind
of
going
on
with
their
with
their
lives.
So
I
agree
with
you.
C
I
also
think
it
might
help,
as
this
has
been
was
brought
up
at
our
Retreat,
that
we
did
from
I
read
mentioned
this
and
I
know
that
Rick's
mentioned
it
in
the
past
is
that
there
may
be
people
who
still
feel
like
there's
a
serious
problem
with
with
one
of
these
issues.
You
know,
or
one
of
these
places
and
they've
just
stopped
complaining.
C
So
this
I
see
as
a
way
as
an
opportunity
is
maybe
to
address
that
issue
as
well,
so
yeah
I
think
it's
I
think
it
would
be
ideal
to
see
from
since
we
they
had
so
much
engagement.
The
first
time
around
to
see
if
we
can't
get
that
same
level
of
Engagement
again
any
other
thoughts
on
that.
C
When
we
have
so
there
there's
been
some
different
in
engagement
with
folks
that
are
complaining
specifically
about
several
places
like
the
same
places.
Over
and
over
again,
you
know,
and
so
there's
part
of
that
is,
is
the
from
the
noise
administrator
side
of
that
in
terms
of
yes,
these
people
are
being
fine.
Yes,
this
has
happened,
some
of
it.
So
you
know
I'll
use
Savage
stations,
Salvage
station.
As
an
example,
there's
continuing
amount
of
complaints
about
the
Salvage
station,
we're
trying
to
get
them
to
engage
directly
with
the
residents
that
are
complaining
to.
C
Let
them
know
about
some
things
that
they're
doing
to
make
changes
to
help
with
with
with
how
with
noise
mitigation,
and
so
there's
there's
those
elements
of
of
that
I
mean
part
of
that.
Also
is
the
work
that
Rick's
going
to
talk
about
now
with
the
working
group
updates
of
of
just
what
the
what
the
continued
work
is
going
to
be
that
he's
spearheading
through
into
2023.
C
So
that's
really
it
I
try
to
respond
to
everybody.
You
know
any
emails
that
I
get
personally,
that
people
send
and
I
know
that
the
the
noise
administrator's
office
is
trying
is
doing
the
same
thing.
So
that's
you
know.
That's
as
as
much
as
I.
Think
we
can
do
right
now
is
is
get
more
data
and
figure
out
what
else
we
can
how
we
can
move
forward.
But
that's
that's
a
good
point.
C
You
know
one
of
the
one
of
the
things
I'm
thinking
about
is
the
hospital,
and
so
that's
a
perfect
example
of
one
wanting
to
get
this
survey
out
on
a
bigger
on
a
wider
scale.
You
know
is
to
see
if
who's,
if
people
want
to
to
just
to
see,
if
there's
anything,
we're
missing
as
part
of
it
too.
Right
so
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you,
yeah
Rick,
you
have
your
hand
up.
F
F
F
Any
one
of
us
can
put
an
agenda
on
this
meeting
to
discuss
with
Todd
and
everyone
else,
whether
there's
some
additional
action.
We
should
be
taking
to
try
to
move
the
needle
effectively
right.
So
that's
that's.
What
got
the
work
on
the
decibel
group
because
we're
you
know
looking
at
the
decibel
report,
the
vast
majority
are
no
no
violation
found.
Yet
you
can
see
that
there
continues
to
be
complaints
from
people
around
the
same
noise
source,
so
you
gotta
so
I
asked
myself
gee.
What
is
this
working
right?
F
F
You
know
Reb
and
Company
took
passion
around
the
vehicle
noise
because
there
was
a
strong
voice
from
a
citizen
right,
so
you
get
strong
voices
from
citizens
and
anybody
in
this
team
can
then
raise
their
hand
and
say:
look
I
I
want
to
make
a
proposal
to
the
board
to
go
investigate
this
problem,
so
we
can
be
more
proactive
if
we
choose
and
of
course
anytime,
we
choose
to
be
more
proactive.
It's
always
good
to
shake
hands
with
Todd
and
and
see,
if
he's
already
trying
to
be
more
proactive,
so
Liliana,
you
know.
F
In
the
first
year
before
you
came
on
board,
the
compliance
team
made
a
lot
of
effort
to
make
relationships
with
building
managers
for
multi-family
apartments
and
to
try
to
engage
those
folks
to
take
action
when
there's
a
apartment,
tenant,
that's
making
noise
and
causing
trouble,
and
all
that
sort
of
thing
and
the
team
felt
like
my
team,
felt
that
they
made
a
lot
of
good
progress
on
a
very
big
thing.
So
you
know
some
of
them.
They
have
the
capacity
to
do
some
of
them.
Some
of
these
issues.
F
They
need
help
from
us
to
push
on
City
Council
to
get
them
help,
so
they
can
go
tackle
that
problem
a
different
way
than
they
do
today
right.
So
as
you
as
everybody
learns
how
to
read
these
Tech
reports,
it
it's
up
to
you
to
use
your
brain
to
ask
yourself
if
this
is
making
sense
and
then
we
can
take
it
on
if,
if
the
board
agrees
that
that's
a
good
place
to
go.
C
Yeah
and
we
saw,
for
instance,
over
the
last
year,
while
we're
still
there's
still
a
challenge
with
the
waste
haulers
in
the
central
business
district.
C
There
is
a
significant
significant
amount
of
effort
put
into
dealing
with
the
waste
haulers
in
other
residential
areas,
and
it's
it's
helped
for
complaints
to
to
drop
significantly
in
other
neighborhoods
outside
of
the
CBD,
just
with
them
getting
those
relationships
with
the
waste
haulers
and
having
those
conversations
and
making
sure
that
waste
haulers
and
indeed
did
know
where
what
the
what
the
ordinance
was
for
residential
neighborhoods
and
how
far
they
had
to
be
from
a
residential
space
at
what
time.
C
So
that's
definitely
made
that's
a
that's
a
another
example
same
thing
with
us
trying
to
wrap
our
heads
around
like
Rick
mentioned
about
the
the
multi-family
housing
right,
because
we
kept
seeing
a
really
high
number
of
complaints
there.
But
yet
we
didn't
have
the
data
or
the
information.
We
now
know,
there's
64
apartment
complexes
and
over
11
000
apartments,
for
instance
in
town
homes,
and
so
the
having
that
data
helped
us
to
figure
out.
You
know
what
percentage
of
of
these
complaints.
C
F
Haley,
can
you
show
the
document
I
got
it
in
too
late
to
be
linked.
F
F
So
the
objective
in
the
annual
report
is
just
to
share
with
city
council
Where
We,
Are,
okay,
and
so
this
document
summarizes
what
we
continue
to
plan
to
do.
And,
in
summary,
what
it
says
is
with
support
from
compliance
staff
which
we've
already
arranged
for,
and
we
have
confirmed
that
their
measurement
devices
properly
measure
both
DBA
and
DBC.
F
That
will
work
with
the
complainants,
who
have
replied
to
us,
saying
that
they
are
willing
to
have
further
work
done
to
understand
the
circumstances
under
which
they
feel
that
the
sound
levels
that
they're
experiencing
are
diminishing
their
quality
of
life,
and
we
will
we
will
plan
to
go
out
to
their
locations,
interior
and
exterior
and
first
of
all,
take
some
ambient
noise
measurements
when
the
alleged
noise
source
is
not
actually
producing
any
sound.
F
And
this
is
a
lesson
learned
from
the
challenges
that
the
compliance
team
had
in
measuring
noise
from
Mission
Hospital,
because
their
first
efforts
that
noise
was
drowned
out
by
the
traffic
on
Biltmore
Avenue.
And
so
there
was
a
lot
of
fits
and
starts.
So.
The
goal
here
is
to
get
out
to
these
locations.
F
If
the
noise
source
is
seasonal,
as
is
the
case
for
certain
kinds
of
noise
sources
to
wait
till
we're
near
That
season,
so
that
the
ambient
can
be
taken
in
a
time
of
the
year,
that
is
approximate
the
same
time
a
year
as
the
noise
sources
and
then
take
both
DBA
and
DBC
measurements.
F
When
it
comes
to
DBA
show,
you
know,
take
these
decibel
measurements
and
show
what
the
sound
level
is
like
in
the
Practical
world
inside
and
outside
of
their
residence,
when
the
actual
noise
source
is
active
as
as
a
way
to
both
educate
the
complainant
right.
So
if,
if
when
the
noise
source
is
active,
the
sound
level
inside
their
house
is
30
DBA.
F
Well,
that's
the
equivalent
of
whispering.
So
then
we
have
a
conversation
with
a
complainant.
That
says,
is
somebody
whispering
inside
your
house
really
diminishing
your
quality
of
life
and
your
and
your
that
sort
of
thing?
So
this
is
a
way
to
engage
that
conversation
and
to
collect
some
objective
data
when
the
noise
sources
are
there
and
then
evaluate
that
data
and
see
where
it
leads
us
we're
doing
the
same
thing
with
DBC.
But
there
isn't
a
standard
chart
like
this.
F
There
are
hundreds
of
these
standard
charts
that
that
you
know
equate
DBA
to
you,
know
rocket
ships
and
whispering
and
and
conversation,
and
so
we
would
do
that
with
with
all
the
people
who
were
willing
to
have
us
out
there
and
we
would
collect
that
data
and
we
would
bring
it
back
and
see
what
it
leads
us
to
understand.
F
And
so
that's
what
we're
telling
city
council
we're
going
to
do
and
at
the
end
of
that
time,
we'll
know
whether
we've
gotten
some
data
that
tells
us
something
about
the
effectiveness
of
the
current
decibel
limits
in
the
ordinance.
F
So
the
work
for
the
existing
committee
is
to
essentially
in
the
short
term
like
the
next
month
or
so
is
to
divide
the
no
violation
decibel
reports
and
complainants
into
those
where
the
source
is
seasonal.
F
Outdoor
sounds
from
you
know,
music
and
restaurants,
and
so
on
and
so
forth,
and
those
that
are
that
are
not
seasonal
and
we
can
try
to
work
within
the
constraints
of
the
compliance
team
to
make
some
progress
on
the
non-seasonal
ones
and
and
see
what
we
can
do
to
knock
those
off
and
and
collect
some
some
valid
data.
In
those
cases.
C
If
not,
then
we're
going
to
move
on
to
officer
elections
for
chair
and
vice
chair
for
2023.,
so
just
to
give
some
information
for
maybe
a
reminder
of
the
responsibilities
and
duties
of
the
chairperson
and
in
his
or
her
absence,
the
vice
chairperson.
C
These
are
the
things
that
they
are
responsible
for,
presides
at
all
meetings
on
the
board
and
ensures
the
work
of
the
board
is
accomplished.
To
this
end,
the
chairperson
must
exert
sufficient
control
over
the
meeting
to
eliminate
irrelevant,
repetitious
or
otherwise
unproductive
discussion.
At
the
same
time,
the
chairperson
must
ensure
that
all
viewpoints
are
heard
and
considered
in
a
fair
and
impartial
manner.
The
chair
cannot
make
rules
related
to
the
conduct
of
meetings
or
Pro
board
procedure
without
approval
of
the
full
board.
C
A
points
board
board
members
to
Temporary
subcommittees
with
the
approval
of
the
full
board,
approves
the
agenda
discussion
items
prior
to
distribution,
prepares
the
annual
report
of
the
board
each
year
signs
correspondence
and
represents
the
board
before
the
city
council,
with
the
formal
approval
of
the
board
by
motion
and
vote.
The
chair
or
a
quorum
of
the
board,
may
call
a
special
meeting.
The
chair
may
also
cancel
a
regular
meeting.
C
So
with
that,
can
we
get
a
asks
I'm
going
to
ask
for
a
nomination
for
chair.
B
G
C
C
C
C
So
the
next
order
of
business
is
public
comment.
Haley.
Do
we
have
anybody
on
the
line
for
public
comment
right
now?
Let.
A
C
H
Yeah
I'm
just
gonna,
get
to
my
mute
button.
Yeah
I
just
want
to
thank
you,
both
Jessica
and
Rick,
for
your
positions
as
chair
and
vice
chair
and
all
the
efforts
you
have
put
into
this
and
and
I
think
it's
good
to
have
you
both
continue
to
to
move
