SUMMARY:Open House to review proposed noise code amendments 
DESCRIPTION:The public is invited to attend an open house on proposed amendments to the City of Bend Noise Code. The meeting will be held on Monday, May 7 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 710 NW Wall St. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and share your ideas.<br />
<br />
City staff has met with a group of interested and informed citizens, including event coordinators and neighborhood representatives, in an effort to develop code amendments in response to concerns about noise.<br />
<br />
The committee worked to clarify where and how noise is measured and to identify appropriate decibel limits to ensure that residents won&rsquo;t be disturbed by noise in their homes after 10 p.m. This included developing a permit process for limited exceptions to the noise ordinance requiring neighborhood notification and a point of contact during events. There was also agreement to establish escalating penalties for repeat violations.<br />
<br />
The proposed code revisions are posted on the City website, www.bendoregon.gov, on the City Recorder&rsquo;s page. The City Council is expected to consider these amendments at its May 16, 2012 meeting.<br />
<br />
If you are unable to attend the open house on May 7, please send your comments or questions to City Recorder Robyn Christie at <a href="mailto:&#114;&#99;&#104;&#114;&#105;&#115;&#116;&#105;&#101;&#64;&#99;&#105;&#46;&#98;&#101;&#110;&#100;&#46;&#111;&#114;&#46;&#117;&#115;&#37;20&#63;&#115;&#117;&#98;&#106;&#101;&#99;&#116;&#61;&#78;&#111;&#105;&#115;&#101;&#32;&#111;&#114;&#100;&#105;&#110;&#97;&#110;&#99;&#101;">rchristie@ci.bend.or.us </a>or 541-388-5517. <br />
