The enacted noise changes update which land-use categories apply when sound levels are evaluated; the minutes do not provide new decibel limits. Other measures were sent to committees for further review, including a proposed water and sewer rebate schedule and funding for street, fire-equipment, and park-related projects. The water and sewer rebate proposal was referred to the Budget and Finance Committee and was not finally adopted at this meeting.
