The following are some of the comments or suggestions that were made; missing amplifiers or audio equipment, allow early morning construction travel departures and deliveries, especially during the spring when roads are posted, unamplified human voice (unreasonable noises), add paragraph for weddings or social events with a time limit of 11:00PM. Chief Cahill will make the changes to the “draft” noise ordinance and present an updated ordinance to the Board at the September 24th meeting.
Chief Cahill said that a press release (attached) was issued regarding the burglaries that have been occurring in Sunapee.
