Proposed Sound Ordinance
Friends,
Please find attached the proposed Sound Ordinance for the City of Richmond . This proposed ordinance was the result of many hours of meetings, discussions, and legal research.
It is my intention to introduce this to City Council in a month. I am hopeful this will give the citizens & neighborhood associations a chance to review it and provide feedback prior to it being introduced. If there is a need to amend it before it is introduced, I am happy to do so. While I understand that no ordinance is perfect, and undoubtedly some will find fault with this ordinance, I am proud of the effort put forth by the work group who helped craft this ordinance.
I also want to thank the Richmond Criminal Defense Bar, City Attorney Office, Commonwealth Attorney's Office, Local Musician's Union , VCU, Richmond Police Department, VCU Police Department, Councilman Bruce Tyler, the Mayor's Office, and the Virginia Municipal League for their dedication and guidance as we crafted this ordinance.
If you have comments, please feel free to send them to me via email at Charles.Samuels@richmondgov.com or you may send them by letter to the address below.
Yours,
Charles
