Comments Off on BOC Special Meeting

BOC Special Meeting

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.

Click here for a short summary of the results of Wednesday night’s Special Meeting of the Board of Commissioners. This meeting was called to vote on the ordinance changes proposed at the December 8 Commissioners’ Meeting.

Resolution 15-13 – Replacement of the Town Attorney

Resolution 15-14 – BOC Rules of Procedure

Resolution 15-15 – Establish a committee to study the sewer system vulnerability
