Carried 5-0. Following the reading of the title of Ordinance No. 828 by Mary E. Wynn, City Clerk, it was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Edgar, that Ordinance No. 828 be passed and adopted. COUNCIL MINUTES Page 3, 6-2-80 Mr. E. G. Brickson, Division of Environmental Health of Orange County, explained noise levels and the effects of Ordinance No. 828. He said the City of Tustin would retain the County's services at a cost of $20.00 per month, with additional charges at a rate of $22.00 per hour for actual time spent in the field. He believes this would be an advantage over the use of a private consultant, whose charge would be approximately $50.00 to $60.00 per hour. Retaining the County's services would provide the city with an expert witness in the event of a court situation. Kathy Well, 1702 Summerville, spoke in opposition to this Ordinance on behalf of the Tustin Meadows Community Association. Mayor Saltarelli and Councilmen Edgar and Hoesterey agreed that the adoption Of this ordinance would tend to make all residents of Tustin in possible violation of the law, thus establishing a level of bureaucracy which is not needed in Tustin, and resulting in serious problems with the public. Councilwoman Kennedy asked how many other cities have adopted this ordinance. Mike Brotemarkle, Cormnunity Development Director, said that thirteen Orange County cities have adopted it, with the ramaining cities still undecided on the issue. Councilwoman Kennedy asked whether Tustin could elect to take advantage of the service at any time, or if this is a one-time offer. Mr. Brickson replied that the City could elect, at the end of any fiscal year, to contract with the Board of Supervisors, for this service. Councilwoman Kennedy suggested that possibly the ordinance could be revised in order to delete sections that some members of the Council consider too restrictive. Mike Brotemarkle stated that the first part of Ordinance No. 828 is the County Ordinance and the second part is made up of sections of the existing Tustin City Code, which we currently have no way of enforcing. A substitute motion was made by Kennedy, seconded by Edgar, to continue this item for 30 days in order for staff to point out areas of the ordinance which are contained in our present ordinance and those which are in the County ordinance, and to answer Council's concerns. Carried 5-0. 3.
