NOISE ORDINANCE

It is particularly distressing to see a few residents marring the beauty of our Village by not adhering to the Village Code as it relates to noise. Residents are reminded to inform landscape gardeners and construction workers of the laws which are frequently violated:

• Power gardening, lawn maintenance and building construction equipment may not be operated in the Village between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. Monday through Friday and 8 p.m. to 9 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETINGS

The next Board of Trustees Meeting will be held on Thursday, August 19, 2010. The meeting will be held in the Board Room at Village Hall and will begin at 8:00 p.m. with a public hearing to hear comments regarding the St. Paul’s School Demolition for Additional Open Space Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS).
