Sound Oversight Committee Meeting Minutes
 March 20th, 2018


Members Present: Lt. Kevin Cashman; Paul Fagone; Jack Murray.
City Staff present: Jessica Hanscombe, Inspections Dept.
Minutes Recorded by Catherine Hooper, Executive Assistant to the Chief of Police. The meeting
began at 5:02 pm.
 1. Minutes from 2/20/18 meeting were reviewed, accepted and seconded.

 2. Lt. Cashman provided an overview of calls for service for the month of February.
 Only one complaint was associated with a business.

 3. Public Comment:

 Waterfront concert representatives attended to proactively inform citizens about the
 anticipated PA during the Old Port Half Marathon, scheduled for June 23rd at 6 AM.
 They are working to reduce the impact to residents as much as possible by collaborating
 with the Police Dept. and City to inform people through social media outlets.
 Additionally, local power will be used instead of a portable generator, which should
 reduce some nusinance. Ongoing sound monitoring will happen during the event.

 4. New business
 No new business.

With no further business to discuss, the meeting adjourned at 5:07 pm.
