Special City Commission Meeting Tonight (10/12) re Noise Ordinance

Click title for link to back-up material.  Upon first glance, I have a problem with the point of measurement for noise "being at the measured at the closest curb or property line closest to the source of noise" or if it is "clearly audible at 150 feet."  That's the language in the ordinance.  However, the staff memo doesn't really reflect this ordinance language:

This is the actual language from the ordinance.  See the difference?
What problem are we trying to solve anyway?  Is the solution worse than the "problem?"
