By Joshua McKinney Big game hunters in Gil- ready for the season to start,” said Sam Harris, a Texas Parks and Wildlife Depart- By Scott Allen More than musicians are passionate about their music. Fredericksburg City Council members heard 19 people speak on a potential redraft of the city’s noise ordinance dur- ing Monday night’s city council meeting. A recent city council workshop had some local residents complaining about exces- sive noise, while social media chatter had a “live music ban” as a possibility. All of the comments were pro-music that explored various ideas for control- ling sound, such as installing foliage near the music venues or Plexiglas windows in nearby homes and businesses monitor- ing their own decibel levels. The council took no action and they plan to continue receiving public com- ment and information from Police Chief Steve Wetz. Council members plan to put it on a future agenda item, Mayor Linda Langerhans said. “I’m thinking 30 or 60 days before we take another look at this and have more discussion on it,” Langerhans said. The council doesn’t plan to ban live music or amplification, she added. The current decibel (dB) level ordi- nance ranges from 60-85 dBs, depending on the time of the day. The ordinance level being referenced during the meet- ing, 70 dBs, is framed from 8-11 p.m. Jim Chapman, a local citizen who spoke first, said that 70 dBs is the sound of a vacuum cleaner. He supports repeal- ing the ordinance. “Seventy decibels is pretty low consid- ering the normal and routine sounds of an urban environment,” Chapman said.
