Since the bill’s introduction and Monday’s public hearing, board members provided comments on the contents of the bill and Prior said he made many revisions in drafting the bill’s lan- guage. Some of those revisions had been drafted on the day of the public hearing.

The board will convene again at 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 21. It is expected the board will continue its public hearing on the noise ordinance amendment at this time.
