*By Daily Press staff*

The Santa Monica City Council has authorized amendments to the noise ordinance in order to afford greater protection to residents living in proximity to industrial and commercial businesses and to make the ordinance fully and fairly enforceable.

Toward that goal, a community meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, July 24 from 7-9 p.m. at the Ken Edwards Center, rooms 103, 104 and 105\. City staff and its consultant, Mestre Greve Associates, will outline planned revisions to the ordinance and receive additional public input about community noise issues. This input will be considered as the ordinance update evolves.

The current noise ordinance was adopted in 1995\. Mestre Greve Associates is a nationally recognized community noise-engineering firm. The Ken Edwards Center, located at 1527 4th St., can accommodate up to 60 participants. The facility is wheelchair accessible and served by Big Blue Bus lines 1, 3, 7 and 8\. Metered parking is also available.

Registration for this meeting is not necessary but is encouraged to ensure that enough handout materials and seating are available. Interested persons may call 310 -434-2634 or use the on-line registration form to confirm their attendance.

If you are unable to attend this meeting, please contact Bill Rodrigues as listed above with your comments, concerns, and/or suggestions. Written statements are preferred.
