The Board of Commissioners’ December 16 Special Meeting was full of action.  More major pieces of business were passed during the meeting than at any BOC meeting in recent memory.  Highlights included a new objective decibel-based noise ordinance, which was modified to remove civilian involvement and the nighttime hours changed to start at 11:00pm.  The ordinance requires a complaint and currently does not cover commercial property.  The Board also formed a Community Advisory Committee to study vulnerabilities with the sewer system which in the event of an overwash could shut the island down for weeks or months.
