The Fishers City Council appeared more receptive to a proposed city noise ordinance Monday night, clearing the item in first reading.  During October, the noise ordinance proposal failed to reach the 5 votes needed for passage.

The new ordinance lays out when there is noncompliance with the measure.  Some require a meter measuring the decibel level of sound, in other situations the standard is “Plainly Audible.”  The concerns raised by Councilors Cecilia Coble and Bill Stuart were not raised on Monday’s session.

The ordinance must now pass second and third reading to become law.  First reading passage requires only one vote.
