sent by email to our official newspapers, the Aspbury Press and the Coast Guard. Please stand for the pledge of allegiance. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the
stand indivisible with liberty and justice for all Mr. Alvarez. Mr. What about present Robinson Fowler
present of the July minutes? Everyone should have a copy motion. Yeah. First, anyone want to say
any changes? I should say any changes amendments to pass that. All in favor? Pass. Okay, we're moving on to all business. Dave is going to be speaking.
Thanks everybody for coming. I appreciate you moving to the new location. We were worried we had too many people and we did. So, this was the decision. Um, so most of you know we received a notice of violation from the Mon County Health Department uh for a
noise violation. Uh it was received on it was from the consulate on on June 5th and uh spoken to the health department times. They explained the the code and how the enforcement works. If the health department comes
out again and it's over a certain decel read, which is 65, it's a $1,000 fine for that 2,000 3,000. So, um, and we have to make the decision as a board
and so I there would be a lot of people that would like to share your thoughts and I I will tell you when we do the public comment period, it it's not going to be a discussion back and forth. We just want you to come for a public
comment to to share your thoughts. Um, as we have notice of violation, noise, we have to make a decision. um you know what we're going to uh do and after the public uh comment and the board will
have a discussion discussion and the board will vote on what the decision is but we appreciate you have a chance to share your opinions at the mic. So, if this mic over here, I'm going to turn this on here. If you're interested in talking, just come
around the back or if you're on this side, come up. Just make sure you give your name and where you live in town and then um we make sure it's it's documented in our minutes. Okay. Correct.
discussion. So, change your plans and start. We're going to have a discussion first as a board and then your public comment and then either a discussion or a vote after that. Okay. All right. One of the
one of the items that I know I was looking at was trying to figure out when concerts had started. Um I believe the first one we had was with um Pat back in 2014. Um yes I think it's 11 years this year. Um
so I was just um you know a little concerned that this has now become an issue. So we wanted to make sure that we were doing everything legally and so hence the reason why we're not a meeting and trying to see what's best for not only the library but the community as
well. anyone that has any questions or comments. The the way that I see the situation is um we can move the concerts to a different location.
Right now, the Egar Band is on August 26th. The plaza is open and we have it reserved just in case that's your decision. We also have um Taylor Pavilion available or packed available on Taylor Pavilion having the music go
out to the beach. Problem is um parking September 18th, but I'm talk talking to the mayor about something we can do with that. Um or we can have the concerts and I can do everything that I can to
try to keep it under the decimal level. uh we've already had one concert where we only had three musicians and we were right at the edge without having a drummer and a saxophone. Now again, it wasn't the um calibrated machine that comes from
the health department. It was, you know, it was an act, so it's not very accurate. But if the person that that reported this reports again or says, "Well, we're going to have the the concert and the reading." I just want the board to know that if the reading is
uh spikes above 65, it's not very consistent a number of time and I've spoken to three people there and supervisors that there will be a you know $1,000 um fine. So um any of the
board members have any questions they want to share? Currently ain't nobody wants me to hear that. Currently we are not fine. The first step I guess is a
warning. Second step $1,000 fine correspondence you sent to us earlier. It escalates from there up to 3,000 plus add-ons. That's correct. That's correct. When we did that informal survey during
the last concert, we at the property line or so it's the way it's where it's at that person's property line. Whoever makes the can based on the sound levels at their property. property line
and not not house. Yes. And that's what it says. Yeah. Any resident's property line. Yeah. So, it's not at the end of ours, which we read some of this code. It's a little bit confusing, but at one point I thought it
was that, but they they informed me that's not correct. It's at the property line of the person called the department and this is implemented by county and right now we have not engaged you.
So not as loud as I thought it was. So as of now we haven't engaged council we wanted to play. We have correct we haven't engaged council in terms of that aspect when it was brought up last year. I did uh talk
to our to the town attorney about and we tried to communicate with the individual and uh compromise want to mention the comp compromise we did do.
So last year what we did was we um we we asked him if there was certain concerts that we could you know continue if we left. Um this year we moved a few
concerts to the Circle of Friends which a bad in my opinion a bad thing turned out to be a good thing at the Circle of Friends when the the music band was there. It was their best day in terms of selling food. If you're not familiar, Circle Special needs cafe. They had a
great They enjoyed it. The parents enjoyed it. Uh we did move uh Tom Bren and Danny White uh to the Circle of Friends this week, which is Thursday and Saturday. The problem is you with the two other bands that are coming up,
Ebero and Paci, um they're larger, it would be more difficult to do it there. We we couldn't have cat on there with parking and you know the black ties we instead of having a
drummer and I think it was a saxophone we just had three guitarists and moved the speakers and we still were close to the decel level but again that's on our app. It's not the machine that's required by the health department
by a certified person. It has to be calibrated and all that. So, so the library has been trying to do everything they could to make sure that everyone is happy and unfortunately it still seems to be an issue because the individual did come to the Black Ties
concert to register another concern. The only thing that I I was discussing earlier um was There there is an exception in the uh in the um in the law which talks about
public celebrations responsible government committed events. So I don't know that there's a definition of that anywhere. I haven't done a little bit of research, but I think um it might be a little bit of a stretch to say that every concert is a public
celebration or government event and then again it might not. So I mean in terms of future and in terms of you know whether or not we continue by the library and then sure
enough we're going to find and then you know deal that way that might be the way to you know, obviously I'm not here to give you legal advice. I'm just saying that that might be because it isn't public and um it might be a way to to
know what's to draw whether or not you know it qualifies you know because court you know a judge will decide and that's that's what it is. So uh something for the board to do to you
know consider um from the notice you know seems cut that you know if you do something and it's more than 65 dB you're in violation or stay so you know I don't think there's any leeway there
unless you have very quiet which I think or suggest you might want to do lake different sections of town which would
have the benefit of bringing around the committee instead of having fun. Again, it's a board decision to do that. And of course, that
we don't anybody can complain based on this ordinance unless it's a public celebration. So, you know, kind of like a very brave But um it's got space though compared to you
know the example where this individual was I think okay I mean you also could post you know I just
I think we're going to go into public comments now. Mike, please remember to mention your name as well as where you live. Tess. Good evening, guys. My name is Jim Sh. I consider the library front door from
my back door on my porch or back deck. Um, just, you know, we're talking about what's missing here is the complaint or the person who's involved. I hear the complaint. Who is this guy? I mean, this
is a public forum. I think the public has the right to know because people ask me, who is it? I think the public is right now. It really is. So who is it?
So it so you you don't feel it's right to disclose it. Well, let me ask you. So if you tell me no, no. Okay. I disagree with you, but you're you're the chairman of the board. Yes. So,
so I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Um, so does the chairman of the board rule in this particular case? It is a specific case in which
Jeremy the response did not indicate notice violation did not indicate the individual and we were not informed of the individual. might have made our uh that notice of violation didn't indicate the individual and we were not
specifically informed who made the complaint. We we didn't appropriate it. So as a public we don't want to make a statement about that. Okay. That's that's reasonable. I understand. I mean it it appears to me
that um the board is in like a uh legal a behind a legal a people here are upset morally but again I always say we live in a world of uh legality morality. So I think you guys
are stuck. I like the mayor's idea and an exception anymore. I think that should be explored. Um having said that I don't know what else to say. And it's it's a really bad situation and I think um
I think we should, you know, do everything we can to to see if we can beat this down. Um and I'm always afraid of somebody else. Um I mean, there's people in the audience who live a lot closer than the so-called anonymous
complaint and they're very happy with it. So, you know, is it to me it's very mitigated. I don't know about that boy, but I don't know. I think we should explore every every other possibility we possibly can. Thank you.
I still want to know. My name is Mark Susan and my wife what I say. No, in all seriousness uh you guys talk to this person about like why don't you go to
dinner or something I'm going Seriously, I kind of go in the whole team because of the library. I actually think it helps with the property values for the houses cuz people want to come here. I like my I don't travel a lot, but the
ones I go to, I have friends coming from all over the place including out of Salem, North Carolina. And it gives you a good feeling for Belmar. It also these guys that are working more exposure for their business. Plus, people buy stuff and um
in the town. So, it's like it's it's a it's just amazing that somebody can be so self-centered that they don't care about the people that go to this thing. And then also, you have your kids in a circle of u friends and stuff like that that it's like a really good time. Everybody has fun and then it's like one
person stopping all these people. What the heck's wrong with you? And then uh What else I was going to say? Is that a whole lot? Good job. Um, God, I just think you guys do a great job. It's a great thing. Have a
great time. Everybody's included. I mean, you can't beat it and it's a lot of work. And, you know, again, I know Sharon pretty well and those guys do a great job. I mean, it's just something that I mean, you do this, you just got to stop. also an old shore. I mean,
every place you go to in every town has loud music and I get you. If you carry that little thing, you can stop everything. So, I really think that the person has to be identified eventually and then say what is your problem and
then from there just try to solve that problem because we love everybody don't and um so that's really something that has to happen. And I still think you should do it in the library. Um, next time if you don't, I think that'd be
bad. I don't think it really should stop. I talked to Brian. We'll do it in our our house across the street, but we don't want to stop. So, and Brian's been here forever. But anyway, I probably have something to say later. That's all.
Hi, I'm Jamie 9 Street. Um, I just wanted to make a comment on behalf of a lot of angry moms in a group chat who can't be here, but they sent me as the voice. Um, when we asked my daughter to explain to people where he lives, she
says, "Mr. Rogers neighborhood." I'm getting emotional. Um, and it's because events like this is what makes our community our community. It's what makes our children love the library. How pathetic am I? It's why we're willing and happy to stay
here year round and keep our kids in the schools. And it's just really a shame that there's another person living on our streets who on our streets living in our town who's not supportive of this. No one buys and stays here um because of
the tourists, right? And they're coming to attraction is because we know our mailman's name and it's because we have concerts at our library. So, unfortunately, I have no solutions. It's a lot of angry moms behind us who support and want to see this stuff keep happening.
Bar 15th Avenue. Uh, you answered the first question I had before, which was how many decals and where, but if this is an anonymous complaint, how in any way, I
won't use any of those other words, can you measure if you don't know how far he is? It's that simple. Uh, and also is this just the beginning? Is somebody going to become a coward and
say, "Oo, we don't want the seafood festival. We don't want plaza." So, we can't give in to something that's so joyous to this is one of the things what was just said.
I've been family members and they love, you know, so I don't want to give in. Um, the health department has to work with a municipality,
not just create a brick wall. So, if you don't know who it is, how then do you know where to measure It's that time. Hi guys.
1808 Avenue. I happen to work at the library so I'm allowed to speak. Um I think we should strongly vote to keep going and having a concert at the library. Um as someone that works there and patrons coming in, there is a very strong connection.
the concerts and the services that the library provides. We already do a ton of things at the plaza or on the beach, but the having those people come to the library and then walking into the computers, check out our books, get our caterpillars, you
know, whatever's happening is really important to our community. So, I think that whatever we need to do to keep the Nazis going there is well worth it. That's my opinion. got a t-shirt on. Hi guys. Uh quick story.
The first concert 2014 we were residents uh we were renting on 17th Avenue in West Baltimore but uh we had a friend who was familiar with Belmore. She told us about this concert and so we were our bikes down and we
were at the concert and we kept looking to our left. There was a for sale sign in front of what is now our house and we looked it up and it was, you know, way overpriced. We had no money. But as the months went by, concerts went by over
the next two years. President House came down and we were in a little bit of position. So we bought the house and we scheduled the closing date for the June concert back. So that's how we feel about what you guys do. We've watched
how you beautify the library itself. So my first comment is Thank you. Um the thing about the public uh celebration um I think it's you have to stretch it.
I don't know. There's no definition. So I I was going to make a comment for everybody finished but Okay. Uh, but it got me thinking. Um, you could contact your state representatives
to see if they can carve out an a written exception within the administrative code of regulation or even an amendment to the statute. And I suggest that because uh in my experience uh as a retired
professional, I did something like that for applying a long time ago. Took a while. Uh you needed a little bit of you need some juice. You need to contact the right people as I'm sure knows how that works. Uh but that might be one avenue. It might not happen overnight, but you
can get an exception that specifically addresses maybe the time frame or the decibel or the fact that you're library or something along those lines. Uh would be an amicable way of solving the
problem. Thank you. Hi, John Faulk on 11th Avenue. I'm actually corner library. Full disclosure, in addition to the neighbor, I'm also a member of one of the bands I played there for the last couple years. So, take whatever I say that song. Um,
my first point is that 65. I looked it up while we were out here. It's the volume of a world conversation. My comparison 70 is a vacuum cleaner. Um so it sounds to me like the stuck with
dealing with an an ordinance or something like that that is just incredibly lovely series and we're stuck with that as a neighbor. We love these concepts. I can listen to them from my back if I want to walk a long distance around the block
and if I don't here I can go back inside. Um, as a band member, I love playing. We play at bars on location, but a lot of people who like to listen who don't want to go out late at night, don't want to
go to bars. I think playing at the library is just a wonderful opportunity for other people, including myself, to come see live music sitting on a lawn chair. And I think to me, copy somebody else said is one of the things that makes a great place to live.
Um, one of the points that you mentioned earlier was about moving the location around. My only suggestion, if you're going to move it, don't move it around to various different locations. Pick one spot because I think if you have multiple location, no one's going to
know where to go for any specific event just confusion. I can't I would really prefer that state at the library. And then the last one point is I just can't tell from what's being said whether the complaint really how important this position is. So
someone might want to convey that. Hi. Uh, Jane Dailyaly out of London. Um, we love these concerts. We listen from our porch, but sometimes we're in the mood to see people and we walk over and this sense of community and I remember
seeing you over there with the dog chair and like, I haven't seen you in a while. And there's a lot of that going on. And I've been here since 2004. And no is kind of dividing tab with the politics
and the St. Rose versus Public School and North End and South. I mean, it just goes on and on and on. But for those concerts, everybody's friendly and happy to see each other. I think it's a good thing
for community. And we had had a birthday party for a bunch of us having milestone birthdays and we had my music and I asked, you know, is there any rule to this? And I was told, "No,
just have to have it shut down by 1000 p.m. So maybe somebody should go and say, well, you can have it at the library until 8 or you can have it at Gene Daily
Driveway until 10. I I just hope something can be worked out because there's one sour apple that's not fair to the rest of the town. I just heard someone whispering and I just want to raise what does this mean
for? I mean you have 30 porches throughout the day. How many complaints res uh I haven't been here as many years as some of the speakers have. I came here just a few summers ago on our first
purchase here in Baltimore. I can tell you that when I came down to see the house that my wife had selected, it happened to be on a concert night. Uh it was, believe it or not, one of the reasons why we liked Fed Avenue more love the neighborhood. When I pulled up
concert going on, there was just such a sense of community there. Such a great spirit. Um it made it's a part of the fabric of development to this community. I can understand the conundrum that you're in trying to deal
with the legal challenge but also trying to do what's good for vast majority of the people who are here today. No one has stood up tonight or maybe some here who have not spoken who agree with the fact that they should cease. Um it is sometimes difficult as elected and
government officials to look in the face of a legal challenge to take a hard position. I would submit it to you respectfully that this is probably one of those opportunities when you should. I don't think that you should allow one person to change the course of action for the community. Uh Delmar is what it
is because of these kinds of things because of these celebrations because of the real proactive nature of trying to make community a sense of community within the bur uh and to allow one person to challenge it wrong. However, you still need to take certain steps to
defend it. You mentioned before they've done some changes and some things to try to mitigate the problems. You obviously know the person are really and I'm not asking you that. I know J is the only me that I've been asked to but um since you know that one of the things
that I'd like to suggest perhaps you demonstrate is to just reorient the use of the space. Right now you're against the library facing out. Perhaps if you're on the easterly side of the property facing down towards the ocean it may help mitigate. There are things
that you can put up to help mitate too. There are portable uh sound uh insulated uh panels that can be produced like you see in the open office setting that can be placed behind the uh performers or behind the speakers to again help deflect and shield some of the sound
might be deflecting uh further north up the street. All those things are good and some of those things you've probably already done. I would respectfully suggest that you uh very in a very detailed way uh indicate all of those things so that if you do the elected challenges, the judge has an opportunity
to see what specific steps you took from what it used to be to what it is today. All those things that you did, moving the concert up locations, changing the speakers, selecting different bands, telling musicians not to bring certain instruments should all be registered in
a very detailed report that you put together. So that if you do have the the interest like we I think you'll hope you do to challenge this, you can present that to a judge. I would think that a county judge would find it hard press to go against the community that's taking
such great steps on something that's existed in 14 years. I don't know when this person moved into town, but if they moved into town, you know, more than 14 years ago, maybe they have a case. Uh but if they moved into town recently, they moved into town when this was here. you accept it and you should move
forward. I think it's that's taking our uh to the mayor's point before about the in school um celebrations. I did also review that heard about that through the county. Um one of the things you missed yesterday probably doing this but just throwing that for consideration
is actually doing a formal resolution proclamation to establish musical celebration days on days that happen to comport with the days of the library and encourage throughout the community. That can be an underpinning for the defense to say that these are community based and not just municipal government based,
not just library based. In the eyes of the court, they sometimes see library boards as something separate distinct from governing bodies. But if the government body embraces what the library is doing as a government sanctioned event, it can give you more defense if you were to take the court. So I wish you luck. If it's $1,000 as a
concern, I can't speak for anybody else here today, but I'll contribute $100 to fine. I'll give you 200 if you tell me who the guy just I let
Hi everybody. My name is Jeff Killa and to no one's here any money tonight. Um there's nobody with the exception of a few that I see here that are my neighbors that can call the library home more than my family. My family is at the library every single day. Uh it is
intertwined with who we are as dawn. And I know because some of you have been on my porch, you understand where my porch sits. Uh if you'd like to put the speakers on my porch so they face the ocean as entirely possible too. Uh we can do a mark so we can start to rotate
it through the cranial mobile like um but the reality is this and and I'm looking at at Mike knows how his his opinion and his brain's working. These anecdotes are lovely and we all agree that we love the concept towards getting some solutions. And I think the mayor
provided the path towards the solution and and some folks here have have echoed and I would say based on some halfass research. Um you know the concept of a local government sponsored event involves connection between the local government and the event. And I think
that we can easily just look at our tax bill and say well we pay a certain amount of taxes to keep the library vibrant and alive and doing that they do. And all it takes is is promoting specific government and primary initiatives in
each one of these things from from from my table to qualify as an event that is a government sponsor. So I think rather than dancing around this decel level of nonsense that we're never going to get the path towards making this something that we keep at the library as a as a
center of our community is to is to make each one of these things. And if people can can live near the lake and tolerate the seafood festival for three consecutive days, which is definitely way louder than the concert
in the library, I think we can have four or five concerts at the library tied to specific initiatives, whether it's the circle of friends in one night, different community groups, another donation box available for each one of these things. you know, we're creative as a community and this room certainly
from what I'm gathering is gathered here to tell you that they support these things not only existing but staying at the library as the center of our of our community here. So I think that I'm happy to as somebody who works as media teacher I'm happy to help figure out a
sound solution that would be helpful. But I do believe that we are in a spot here to to really dig in and say this is who our community is. We're we're we're a community that gathers people but doesn't shy away from gathering people even if it's something that needs to be
creatively solved. So, I encourage you to take the mayor's advice to look a little bit more about what these local government sponsored events can be because I I really do believe anecdot Thank you for comment.
question. Hello, uh, Brett, 609. Um, I just want to echo a lot of what was already said. Um, I I do think that concerts like this, community gatherings like this is one of the things that made Belar Belar.
It's what makes it such a great place to live, such a great place to raise a family, um, and such a great place to grow, right? And I think that these concerts are um just such a really nice thing for kids and um you know seniors
and just the whole community to get together and say hello to each other. So what I think is that if these concerts aren't a public celebration of our community then what is right? Um so I
think I would echo that that is should be the path to go because I think 65 dB is you're not going to get there. Um I I also want to echo that I think it's important to do that at the library. I think that there's concerts at piano
plaza, there's concerts at bars. I think being at the library is really important. So I would encourage the board to to take that step. Thank you. As speaking, I uh I keep looking at this conception of the public celebration and
you know, Of course, we all know what a public celebration is. Just the fact that, you know, I went on Google and it's a public celebration and it's obvious that, you know, these concerts are a public celebration just to say it says, you know, it's a gam that's open
to a major attended by the general public and can also different number of activities, one of the concerts and useful performances and what have so the way to go. some of the speakers have said is we don't need to worry about the
decimals and any of that stuff because I think I think our position as a board should be to to write back to Mr. Santiago who's the environment health coordinator and say you know we have
need this uh public celebration uh we're going to get the support of the council I'll see that we maybe at the next uh meeting we'll pass a resolution uh in support of the celebration that the library does every summer in having
concerts outside concerts as part of our summer festivities and I think we should just that you know we're continuing with the concerts at the library and uh we're deemed a public separation and an
exception to the uh to the to the rule that they're citing. And sense We did we did have some emails that came in but uh it is running a little late. Are there any other speakers that wish to come forward before we have a board
discussion? I just had one question stand up. Can you make a law that one of the things that we talked talk about our last meeting was um and I don't know if you ever had a chance to
check into that shell shaped sound area that they have at a couple locations. I know I was at one concert in Bradley Beach where they had a portable shell. I don't know that probably would require Yes. Well, I I've looked into it um spoke to the health department about
different ways to make sure the decimal level is less at that individual's house. it. I just wanted the board to know that there's a good chance that it's still doing these things that it would be it would be over 65 as as the public has
talked about. So, uh we can do those things and again it would help if if um if the health department pushes and says it's not a government celebration. I do want to say that I did speak to the health department when we had him
sponsor the the uh the library back events to take care of the one concern of that individual and that's why that individual went to the uh to the health department rather through the ordinances here. Um, when I did talk to them about
that, um, I think I think we we might have to, you know, have our attorneys speak to the health department about that area cuz that's not their interpretation, but again, that's, you know, that's we could say that's our interpretation, right? Yeah. So, um, but
the angling of the speakers, uh, some of the, uh, individuals talk about, um, having it on on their decks, you know, maybe not that, but putting a stage that faces away from the person. Um, I can do
all of those things, and I just wanted the board to to make sure they say, "Dave, go for it. do your best to keep it down, but we're going to go for it or let's move it to the other location. I just feel that we should try to do what we can to keep it in the same
location. You know, we should try if we have to do sound theory type of things, at least try to do put out things that the possibilities um you know and go from there as opposed to just like running to somewhere else.
I think you should really try to keep it where they've been what the past 10 years, 14 years or so. Um I have a lot of obvious specifically with regard to the idea that the concerts more than anything else bring the entire community large
portion of the community around the library and it's a it's a excellent event you know um however I'm concerned about uh the risk profile going forward that day.
What I mean by that is I can't really quantify what the risk is in life. When I dealt with the people that complain in my life, not in this instance specifically, not talking about this, but in instances in my life where I've dealt with the people that
complained in this manner, it has never been about the father. has been about that person's pathological need to complain to get the attention. You know, again, I'm speaking about this talking about people I've dealt with. It's not
going to go away and the more we feed it, the worse it's going to get. So, we can move forward with this. My position would be that on a strategic approach where we relocate the immediate costs in the near future,
we engage our board. Nothing should go to the nothing should go to the nothing should go back to the county through us per se. We should engage lock in that perspective
and fight it carefully and strategically in that hand. My concern with fiscal cloud on this is not just a cost of violation. It's $1,000 fine. We could just pay that business decision. I'm concerned escalating the uh much less defensible position damages
to individual claim damages to individual get really real fast for what I've experienced in the past as somebody who just wants the attention and you know it's like when my seven-year-old gets upset and wants to
start an argument. It's not because she wants to argue about whether or not she should go to bed. It's because she needs the attention of that woman, you know. So that's that's the way I see it. Of course, the steps I'd like to see for
the next couple I would like to see this season and then I would like to lock down legal council and understand where we are. My understanding is we are not necessarily autonomous organization. We are an entity government. We have our
own board. We have our own budget budget control but we are extension of the government entity not a government entity which potentially give us leverage in that I wouldn't necessarily walk into it without having the
legal strategy. So my my argument would be to for this season relocate as painful and terrible as that is and then instead of paying health department
starting um I'm somewhat in agreement with but I also have another way of thinking as well. Um, I also very concerned about the difference between a gathering at the library versus a gathering at
someone's home. Is the same violation the same for having it at an individual's home versus having it on the library? That's a question I have. Um when we move to a different location um as was mentioned before I think we
deal with parking for one issue um people being confused as to where to go. The library has been a place that everyone has been going to for several years now and to change that I think makes it quite
difficult. Um, I also wanted to mention that this morning was when I came up with the idea. I called Dave immediately. I said, "This individual seems to have a thing with ordinances and violations and codes and so on. And
I was really afraid that if we had this meeting in the library that that person might call the health department and say we have too many people in the library. That's why we're here." So I wanted to give everyone at least the opportunity and I thank Dave and everyone that was
involved with it so that we were able to be here and have everyone the opportunity to speak because I think it's important for us all to know what's going on. If I could just respond this actual code does not this is industrial commercial
public service or community service facility. So you were talking about someone's uh that would be a different code or Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to disagree with you. Um I think we should continue with the
concept of the library. Number one, I think we the library is an integral part of this community. It's so important to to the community and to the people here that to say we're going to
move the last two concerts and deal with it for next year means just kicking the can down the road. I think we should just notify the board of health that this is what we're going to do. Um we can engage council talk to who's going
to be in our council and say you know this is our position. We feel we're We have a public celebration here. Library is, you know, is involved in so many different aspects of our community. This is one of the things that we have done every summer. How many songs have we
done this? 11 years we've been doing this. This is a this is a celebration that we do every year festival so on. And you know, we're not going to stop doing it because it's important to the community. And you know if they want to find us fine let them
find us and then we'll deal with it. But you know we can have Mr. Gill you know reach out to them perhaps and say you know this is what we're doing we feel that that exception applies to us when finish
and and just the dec. That's all. You can have another person next to you say oh it's too loud. You know what I mean? It's it's a it's a type of never be able to get under control because as you said 65 dB is I'm
told you know so what kind of band are you going to have that can only you have to start putting reward putting speakers in a different direction you know all that kind of stuff it just you know the whole beauty
of it is it's almost part and parcel of the of the you know attraction you know it's part of the community so I just say we should um you know continue with our schedule. We can
reach out to um Mr. see if he has any comments and I can also reach out to him to see about um whether or not we should pass a resolution on the council basically supporting the library in their you know 11year concert series
that has been you know celebration for for season as they That's what I would say again continue the concerts as we are when we go wrong we will move to uh contact county health
department position but we do see what happens they'll either say yes or they'll say no probably say no and then we'll take it from there discussion.
Uh discussion any discussion. Okay. Roll call. Let's check that resolution please. Yes. We're not going to make you mitigate.
I mean, you either going to mitigate it or you're not. We don't have a way to mitigate um positioning in some instances where it was practical to reduce the You can put that in practically it's not going to help but yeah we'll try to you
know redirect the sound away from you know certain areas certain areas will be louder in other areas. That's okay. Um contact the county department of health and human
services and um then we will speak. Yes. Any discussion? I assume they know that it's from 6:00 in the evening to 8:00 and then it's
Yeah, that is We can vote. Let's have a vote first. Okay. Okay. Um Mr. Yes. Yes. Yes.
They know 8:00. Any other comments? kind of interrupted it into the mayor wanted to say something and anything else that you'd like to discuss. Does it have to be about concerts? Any public comment?
I'll make a motion to favor. Thank you for coming everybody.
