A city staff member told the City Council that organizers of a boat show at Patmore's Park requested a temporary extension or waiver of the noise ordinance to allow a band to perform outdoors on July 5.

The staff member said the event falls under the city's special-events permitting rules and that the current license allows trucks per year for up to three days each; the organizers asked specifically for Monday, July 5, to expand their outdoor area and host a band. The staff member said the waiver would also cover the ordinance provisions pertaining to vibration.

The council took a voice vote. The chair called for all in favor to say “aye” and received an affirmative response; no roll-call tally is recorded in the provided transcript.

The staff member framed the request as temporary and tied to the scheduled boat show next door to Patmore's Park. Staff indicated they had discussed the request with the clerk and the police chief as part of the permit review.

Next steps: staff will administer the special-event permit under the terms the council approved; any required compliance with noise or safety conditions will be enforced through the usual special-event process.
