204 Mr. Charles Steen of 1412 Baker Street, questioned whether Council would consider the problem he experiences with a neighbor's rooster as a separate issue since roosters are specifically exempted in the proposed ordinance. Mr. Gouldman recommended that the proposed noise ordinance not be considered with the rooster situation, but be considered as a separate matter if Council wishes to reconsider the issue. Mr. Gouldman noted that the previous Council voted down a proposed ordinance which would ban roosters within the City limits. Mr. Vandever stated that he would be in favor of Council reexamining the rooster problem again as an issue separate from the noise ordinance. Rev. Edwards agreed to reconsider the rooster issue. Mr. Vandever questioned whether the Class III penalty included in the proposed ordinance was stronger or weaker than the penalty of the previous ordinance. Mr. Gouldman replied that the penalty was stronger than contained in the previous ordinance. Mr. Vandever requested further information on Class II penalties. On motion by Mr. Vandever, seconded by Rev. Edwards, the ordinance entitled "AN ORDINANCE REGULATING NOISE CONTROL WITHIN THE CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE" was offered and carried over to the next meeting for consideration. ORDINANCE: RELATING TO OVERTIME PARKING IN PUBLIC PARKING LOTS Mr. Gouldman stated that parking tickets have been pre- printed citing a section of the Code which does not include public parking lots and the proposed o~dinance will correct this matter and allow enforcement on both streets and in public parking lots. On motion by Mr. Vandever, seconded by Mr. Towe, the ordinance entitled "AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND AND REORDAIN SECTION 16-35 OF ARTICLE III OF CHAPTER 16 OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE, 1976, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO PARKING IN PUBLIC PARKING LOTS" was offered and carried over to the next meeting for consideration. ORDINANCE: RELATING TO COLLECTION OF UTILITY TAX Mr. Hendrix stated that the proposed ordinance will allow collection of utility tax on gas transported by the City. Mr. Hendrix noted that it has only been in the last year that the City has transported gas to customers which was not sold by the City. On motion by Mr. Towe, seconded by Mr. Vandever, the ordinance entitled AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTION 10-48 OF ARTICLE VIII OF CHAPTER 10 OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE, 1976, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO COLLECTION OF UTILITY TAXES" was offered and carried over to the next meeting for consideration.
