This is a request to advertise a change to the Noise Ordinance to allow construction or repair to buildings to occur on Saturdays without permission from the City Manager. Currently, the ordinance only allows these type of activities to occur Monday through Friday. If a Contractor wishes to work on Saturday it must be of a urgent necessity and then only with permission from the City Manager. Recently, the Contractor for Kenington Apartments requested to work on Saturdays. This raised the question of the practicality of this restriction and staff felt that Saturdays should be viewed as any other workday.
Staff recommends approval.
The Commission appointed Commissioner McKinnon to the Metroplan Board of Directors to fill a vacancy for the remainder of 1998. Request Commission consider the 1999 appointment to this Board. The request is for Commission direction regarding the celebration of the Osceola High School Football Team's State Championship. The cost for the options have been estimated, and staff will communicate with Osceola County and private businesses in the area regarding interest in sponsoring a portion of the project once the Commission directs staff to proceed. Arrangements are moving ahead for the team, coaches, cheerleaders, etc. to participate in the Silver Spurs Rodeo Parade on February 13, and the Kiwanis Club of Kissimmee will cater the barbeque luncheon immediately following the parade.
