AMENDMENT TO NOISE ORDINANCE REGARDING LEAF BLOWERS

 

Recommendation: That the City Council waive full reading and introduce an ordinance amending the Municipal Code prohibiting the use of gasoline or electric leaf blowers.

Background: The noise ordinance was recently re-written and adopted by the City Council in November 2000. The re-write of the ordinance deleted reference to electric leaf blowers which were prohibited in the prior code. This amendment restores the prohibition of the use of electric leaf blowers.
