Several weeks ago you were mailed a copy of a draft noise
ordinance. The draft was a modified version of the 1979 draft
noise ordinance that was not adopted at that time.
On 10 October 1990 the Health Services Department met with County
Counsel, Community Development and the County Administrator' s
Office in order to review and plan the next stage of processing
this proposed ordinance. It was a consensus opinion that an Issues
and options paper needs to be developed and forwarded to the
Environmental Affairs Committee by 26 November 1990.
It became apparent after our review that it is very difficult to
access several critical issues just by reading the draft ordinance.
Many of these issues were discovered while the draft was produced.
In addition, a variety of concerns were' received by local industry
as well as other County agencies.
I intend to document these matters and provide explanations,
options and background informations into this paper. . . It would be
helpful to have both documents in hand when making a decision.
Thank you for your patience and if you have any questions please
call me at 370-5010.
