129 <br /> <br /> Rev. Edwards recommended that the issue be raised with <br />the Commonwealth's Attorney and judge. <br /> <br /> The possibility of having communitY service officers <br />(CSOs) deal with noise complaints was discussed. <br /> <br /> Responding to a question from Mr. Toscano, Sgt. DeWitt- <br />Rickards stated that it takes five to ten minutes when <br />warnings are issued, but as much as an hour when the noise <br />meters are used. <br /> <br /> Mr. Toscano stated that he felt the matter poses a <br />dilemma of priorities and while he sympathized with people <br />who are haVing noise problems, he realized and agreed with <br />the police priorities and recommended that ways be explored <br />to involve CSOs. <br /> <br /> Ms. Waters requested that the police consider ways to <br />help the Council deal with the problem of chronic noise <br />violators and Sgt. DeWitt-Rickards stated that he felt this <br />would be one of the goals of the sector coordinators. <br /> <br /> Ms. Slaughter summarized the requests made by Councilors <br />regarding the noise issue: 1) the policy with the courts <br />would be explored further; 2) the role of the sector <br />coordinators should be included in the policy regarding <br />noise; and 3) using CSOs will be explored. Ms. Slaughter <br />requested that a report on these issues be provided. <br /> <br />APPROPRIATION: <br /> <br />(2nd reading) <br /> <br />$1,100,000 - CORNER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT <br /> <br /> The $1,100,000 appropriation for the Corner improvement <br />project which was offered at the April 20th meeting was <br />approved by the following vote.
