PUBLIC SAFETY MEETING
Thursday, January 5, 2017 6:30pm
City Hall Conference Room
In Attendance:
Chairman Joel Frieders Alderman Seaver Tarulis
Alderman Carlo Colosimo
Other City Officials in Attendance:
City Administrator Bart Olson Deputy Chief Larry Hilt
Police Chief Rich Hart
Others in Attendance:
Jim Jensen, Blackberry Creek Northwest
The meeting was called to order at 6:30pm by Chairman Frieders and a quorum was
established.
Citizen Comments: None
Minutes for Correction/Approval: October 6, 2016
The minutes were approved as read on a unanimous voice vote.
New Business:
1. PS 2017-01 Police Reports for June-November 2016
Chief Hart said these were just normal reports with nothing outstanding. Alderman
Tarulis commented that the reports are helpful to respond to citizens.
2. PS 2017-02 Adjudication Reports for October-December 2016
The adjudication process will continue to be weekly. No further action.
3. PS 2017-03 Intergovernmental Agreement with Newark for Administrative
Adjudication
Since Newark only has a couple cases per year to adjudicate, they approached the City
about a partnership. Staff proposes to allow the process for six months and then evaluate
and use a percentage-based cost system. It was questioned if there would be a conflict
since the two attorneys involved are from the same firm. Mr. Olson said this is
something that would have to resolved. The committee approved and this moves forward
to the January 24th regular Council agenda.

4. PS 2017-04 Golf Cart Ordinance
Administrator Olson said the current ordinance prevents golf carts on park property,
however, not on general City property. The issue came to light in the Countryside
subdivision where rear yard easements were being used by the golf cart drivers. The City
seeks to close this loophole. Alderman Colosimo said there are five major roads in the
community and it is not conducive for a golf cart community. Exceptions may be granted
in certain instances such as parades and some are in the ordinance already. This moves to
the January 24th Council consent agenda.
Old Business None
Additional Business
After a brief comment about the Public Safety meeting time, Alderman Colosimo moved
to change the start time to 6pm rather than 6:30pm. The committee was in favor.
There was no further information and the meeting was adjourned at 6:38pm.

Noise Ordinance Text Amendment
Public Safety Committee – April 6, 2017
Majority
Approval
Memo explains Noise Ordinance Revisions as well as previous rounds of review.
Jason Engberg Community Development
Name Department
Summary
This memo shall provide information regarding the recent history of the City’s Noise
Ordinance, existing requirements, Soundscape Engineering consultant recommendations, and levels
of review already conducted.
Background
The City’s Noise Ordinance was last amended in December of 2014. At that time, the code
was comprehensively rewritten based on staff’s research of surrounding municipalities. The main
reason for the rewrite was due to a proposed downtown amphitheater.
In 2015, the City responded to multiple instances of noise complaints for the area
surrounding Pinheadz Bar at 1211 N Bridge Street. The City responded, during work hours and non-
work hours, to the complaints of noise originating inside and outside the building. Residents voiced
their concern at a City Council meeting and asked the City to restudy the Noise Ordinance in light of
the complaints at Pinheadz.
Staff toured the property with the owner and was told that the owner had fixed some
structural and mechanical issues which may have been producing the excessive noise. The owner
had measured sound levels outside the building within the limits of the existing Noise Ordinance.
However, the property owners directly behind Pinheadz stated that the noise issue was not improved.
Due to the continued nuisance, the City retained an experienced acoustical consultant,
Soundscape Engineering, in 2016 to provide services to assist the City in evaluating its Noise
Ordinance Standards. Soundscape Engineering reviewed the existing regulations, conducted a site
visit to Pinheadz to determine sound levels at night, and reviewed the City’s sound measuring
equipment.
Soundscape Engineering Recommendations
Soundscape Engineering has rewritten the entire Noise Ordinance to better clarify how to
measure noise, how loud noises should be in certain areas, and provide simpler regulations to
enforce. They also provided the City with a list of sound measuring devices which would be useful
for measuring and enforcing the new ordinance. The existing Noise Ordinance and a revised version
illustrating the changes made to it (redline copy) have been attached to this memo for review.
Soundscape Engineering believes these revisions and the proper equipment to enforce them, that the
sound nuisance at Pinheadz will be resolved.
Proposed Regulations Summary
The proposed Noise Ordinance revisions have been updated to reflect the new equipment that
will be used by the Yorkville Police Department to measure sound and vibration. A section has been
added to clarify the correct settings for the meter. Additionally, allowable location for sound
measurement has been thoroughly updated. The table providing example decibel levels, as well as

From: Jason Engberg, Senior Planner
CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator
Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director
Date: March 29, 2017
Subject: Noise Ordinance Text Amendment
the table containing maximum decibel levels for various locations and uses, have been eliminated.
These tables have been replaced with two tables containing allowable decibel level by time and land
use, as well as allowable adjustments for certain scenarios or sound characteristics. Construction
activity was also added as an allowable exception to these sound limitations.
Levels of Review
The alterations proposed by Soundscape Engineering have been reviewed by staff, the
Economic Development Committee, and the Planning and Zoning Commission. Staff believes the
changes to the Noise Ordinance will improve the enforcement of the ongoing nuisance at Pinheadz
Bar as well as provide the needed clarity in the regulation of varying types of sounds (vibration,
frequency, etc...).
The Economic Development Committee reviewed the proposed changes to the Noise
Ordinance during their meeting held on January 3, 2017. Staff received positive feedback from the
Economic Development Committee regarding the proposed alterations.
The Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) reviewed the proposed changes to the Noise
Ordinance during their meeting held on January 18, 2017. Regulations regarding noise are located
within the Public Health and Safety Ordinance of the City Code, which is not under the purview of
the Planning and Zoning Commission. However, the pending changes to the City’s current Noise
Ordinance affects certain standards within the Zoning Ordinance performance standards. Staff
recommended text amendments to the performance standards within the Zoning Ordinance which
reference the regulations provided by Soundscape Engineering (which will be located in the Public
Health and Safety Ordinance). A public hearing was held at the PZC meeting to hear opinions from
residents (no testimony was given). The PZC recommended approval to the City Council on the
proposed text amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. The case has not yet been brought to City
Council until the results of this Public Safety Committee are complete.
Staff Recommendations
As stated previously, staff believes these new regulations will help prevent future issues at
Pinheadz Bar with regards to disturbing residential neighbors. The new updated regulations will also
allow for a more thorough measuring of noise complaints in the future. The Economic Development
Committee and Planning and Zoning Commission have reviewed the regulations and support their
recommendation to City Council. Staff is now seeking a recommendation from the Public Safety
Committee to the City Council for the changes to the Noise Ordinance.

Summary
This memo shall provide information regarding the recent history of the City’s noise
ordinance, existing requirements, Soundscape Engineering consultant recommendations, and zoning
ordinance performance standard discrepancies.
Background
The City’s Noise Ordinance was last amended in December of 2014. At that time, the code
was comprehensively rewritten based on staff’s research of surrounding municipalities. The main
reason for the rewrite was due to a proposed downtown amphitheater.
In 2015, the City responded to multiple instances of noise complaints for the area
surrounding Pinheadz Bar at 1211 N Bridge Street. The City responded, during work hours and non-
work hours, to the complaints of noise originating inside and outside the building. Residents voiced
their concern at a City Council meeting and asked the City to restudy the noise ordinance in light of
the complaints at Pinheadz.
Staff toured the property with the owner and was told that the owner had fixed some
structural and mechanical issues which may have been producing the excessive noise. The owner
had measured sound levels outside the building within the limits of the existing Noise Ordinance.
However, the property owners directly behind Pinheadz stated that the noise issue was not improved.
Due to the continued nuisance, the City retained an experienced acoustical consultant,
Soundscape Engineering, in 2016 to provide services to assist the City in evaluating its Noise
Ordinance Standards. Soundscape Engineering reviewed the existing regulations, conducted a site
visit to Pinheadz to determine sound levels at night, and reviewed the City’s sound measuring
equipment.
Soundscape Engineering Recommendations
Soundscape Engineering has rewritten the entire Noise Ordinance to better clarify how to
measure noise, how loud noises should be in certain areas, and provide simpler regulations to
enforce. They also provided the City with a list of sound measuring devices which would be useful
for measuring and enforcing the new ordinance. The existing Noise Ordinance and a revised version
illustrating the changes made to it (redline copy) have been attached to this memo for review.
Soundscape Engineering believes these revisions and the proper equipment to enforce them, that the
sound nuisance at Pinheadz will be resolved.
Propsed Regulations Summary
The proposed Noise Ordinance revisions have been updated to reflect the new equipment that
will be used by the Yorkville Police Department to measure sound and vibration. A section has been

Subject: Noise Ordinance Revision
added to clarify the correct settings for the meter. Additionally, allowable location for sound
measurement has been thoroughly updated. The table providing example decibel levels, as well as
the table containing maximum decibel levels for various locations and uses, have been eliminated.
These tables have been replaced with two tables containing allowable decibel level by time and land
use, as well as allowable adjustments for certain scenarios or sound characteristics. Construction
activity was also added as an allowable exception to these sound limitations.
Zoning Ordinance
The proposed Noise Ordinance revisions were written to amend the text in “Title 4 Chapter 4
Noise Ordinance” of the Yorkville City Code. There are additional regulations regarding noise in
“Title 10 Chapter 13 Article C Performance Standards” which will also need to be amended to
coexist with the proposed changes. The existing Performance Standards as well as a revised version
illustrating the changes made to it (redline copy) have been attached to this memo for review.
The noise performance standards reference outdated measuring equipment and are not
consistent with the proposed Noise Ordinance in the Public Health and Safety Code. This section of
the Zoning Ordinance has been updated to reference the new Noise Ordinance for all matters
regarding sound measurement and limitations and exceptions. Vibration, while mentioned in the
Zoning Ordinance (10-13C-2), is not explicitly mentioned in the updated Noise Ordinance; therefore
the sections regarding vibration have remained unchanged.
Staff Recommendations
Staff is seeking feedback regarding the proposed changes to the Noise Ordinance within both
the Public Health and Safety Code and the Zoning Ordinance.

Subject: Recommended revisions to noise ordinance
Dear Ms. Barksdale-Noble:
I have completed my review of the existing City noise ordinance (Title 4, Chapter 4). As we discussed
previously, my professional opinion is that the existing ordinance is poorly written. I have, therefore
rewritten the ordinance rather than try to markup the existing text. Prior to rewriting the ordinance, I
obtained and reviewed the ordinance for the nearby Cities of Joliet, Aurora, and Naperville. I also
reviewed the ordinance for the City of Grand Rapids, Michigan, and considered the City of Chicago
ordinance. Much of the general approach in the rewritten ordinance emulates the ordinances for the
Village of Lakemoor and City of McHenry.
My goals in rewriting the ordinance were to (1) create an ordinance that is as simple or more simple than
the existing Yorkville noise ordinance, (2) accounts for the character of the noise, (3) is very specific in
describing how the noise is to be measured, and (4) places the limits on the amount of noise transmitted to
receiving properties rather than on the amount of noise produced on the source property.
Maintaining the brevity of the ordinance, means that there is much not included that is included in some
other noise ordinances. One such item is a noise limit(s) specifically for vehicles. There are also no
limits on the noise level or duration produced specifically by animals (such as a limit on how long dogs
are allowed to bark).
I added only one exemption to the exemptions in the existing noise ordinance. This additional exemption
is for construction activities. There are many exemptions included in other communities’ ordinances
which you may wish to consider. Accompanying this cover letter and the rewritten ordinance, are all of
the noise ordinances mentioned above. Also included is the “Model Community Noise Control
Ordinance” from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. You may wish to review this model
ordinance to determine if it contains anything that you believe would be beneficial to include in the
Yorkville ordinance.

Finally, I must point out that I am acoustical engineer, not an attorney. What I have included in the
ordinance is what I believe to be appropriate from that perspective. I leave it to the City attorney or other
counsel to address any legal issues associated with the ordinance.

NOISE ORDINANCE
4‐4‐1: DEFINITIONS:
A. All terminology used in this chapter shall be in conformance with applicable publications of
the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) or its successor body.
4‐4‐2: MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT:
A. Sound level meter meeting Class 1 or Class 2 requirements as defined by IEC 61672 or ANSI
S1.4 and which is specified by the meter manufacturer to have a Measurement Level Range
that encompasses the noise level to be measured. When the sound level measurement is
to be made indoors, a Class 1 meter may be required to check for conformance with the
sound level limits because most Class 2 meters to not have a Measurement Level Range
that extends low enough.
4‐4‐3: SOUND LEVEL METER SETTINGS:
A. Sound level meter shall be set to A‐weighting (frequency weighting).
B. Sound level meter shall be set to Slow meter response (1‐second exponential time
averaging).
C. Measured sound level shall be the maximum (Lmax) sound level, attributable to the source
under investigation, which is measured during the measurement period.
4‐4‐4: MEASUREMENT LOCATION:
A. Measurement may be made anywhere within receiving property, but must be made at least
3 feet from any building façade or other surface.
B. Measurement may be made at any height above grade, at or near locations that are
regularly occupied by people. For example, a measurement may be made at a position 3
feet to the exterior of a 2nd floor window since people can be expected to occupy the 2nd
floor room.
C. Measurement may be made inside a structure on the receiving property, in any space that
is classified as inhabitable and constructed with necessary City construction permits.
D. If measurement is to be made within a building on the receiving property, then
measurement shall be made with windows, doors, and other openings to the exterior
DRAFT REVISED NOISE ORDINANCE by Soundscape Engineering LLC April 21, 2016
closed and measurement shall be made at least 3 feet from floor, ceiling, and all other
partitions or surfaces.
E. If sound source is in Public Park or Other Public Open Space and sound level measurement
is to be in Public Park or Other Public Open Space then measurement location shall be no
closer than 50 feet from the source.
4‐4‐5: SOUND LEVELS:
A. No person shall operate or cause to be operated any source of sound in such a manner as to
create a sound level which exceeds the sound level limits in Table 1, as adjusted according
to Table 2.
Table 1: Sound Level Limits
Time of Day Receiving Property Land Use

c. Under 3 minutes but over ½ minute Add 10 dBA
d. Under ½ minute Add 15 dBA
2. Noise is IMPULSIVE in character (e.g. hammering, firearms
discharge, explosions)
Subtract 5 dBA
3. Content of noise includes electronically amplified, reinforced, or
reproduced voice or music
Subtract 5 dBA
4. Noise is TONAL in character (e.g. hum, screech) Subtract 10 dBA
5. If measured within a building on the receiving property per
Paragraph 4‐4‐4.C and 4‐4‐4.D
Subtract 20 dBA
DRAFT REVISED NOISE ORDINANCE by Soundscape Engineering LLC April 21, 2016
B. All Table 2 adjustments which are relevant to the noise shall be applied. For example, if the
noise source is tonal and has a duration of less than 12 minutes in any one hour period then
the Sound Level Limit shall be increased by 5 dBA for the Duration adjustment and
decreased by 10 dBA for the Tonal adjustment.
4‐4‐6: EXEMPTIONS:
A. Emergency Operations: Emergency short term operations which are necessary to protect
the health and welfare of the citizens, such as, emergency utility and street repair, fallen
tree removal or emergency fuel oil delivery shall be exempt, provided that reasonable steps
shall be taken by those in charge of such operations to minimize noise emanating from the
same.
B. Noises Required By Law: The provisions of this section shall not apply to any noise required
specifically by law for the protection or safety of people or property.
C. Powered Equipment: Powered equipment, such as lawn mowers, small lawn and garden
tools, riding tractors, and snow removal equipment which is necessary for the maintenance
of property is exempted between the hours of seven o'clock (7:00) A.M. and ten o'clock

CHAPTER 14 - PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
SECTION:
6-14-1: - INTENT:
It is the intent of this Chapter to provide that businesses, utilities, light industry, research, offices,
residential uses, and related activities shall be constructed, maintained, and operated with a proper
appearance from streets and adjoining properties and to provide that each such permitted use shall be
a good neighbor to adjoining properties by controlling the emission of noise, odor, exterior lighting,
vibration, smoke, particulate matter, gases, and wastes.
It is further the intent of this Chapter to state the conditions of construction and operation with which
uses will be expected to comply. In many cases, the relation of a prospective use to all performance
standards cannot be judged properly at the time of building permit issuance. In such cases, the
recipient of the building permit should note that these standards, like all other provisions of this Title,
are continuing obligations and that all uses shall be expected to operate in compliance with these
standards. The building plans shall bear the signature of a qualified professional stating that all
performance standards will be complied with based upon the submitted building plans. the City retains
the right to conduct its own investigation to determine compliance with the performance standards at
any time.

Subject:Sound Level Meters
Date:Tuesday, April 26, 2016 10:18:47 AM
Hello Krysti,
Here are a list of sound level meters that your police department may want to consider for
purchase. I have listed them in order of what I think will work the best for you. My goals in making
this list were minimum necessary functionality (i.e., the meter doesn’t do too much more than what
you need it to do) and a simple user interface, ability to measure low noise levels in case it is
necessary to make indoor measurements, long battery life, and minimizing the cost.
Bruel & Kjaer model 2240 (Class 1)
http://www.bksv.com/Products/handheld-instruments/sound-level-meters/sound-level-
meters/type-2240
Cost $2,446
Bruel & Kjaer, commonly referred to as B&K, is generally considered the premium brand in our
industry. My company owns 9 sound level meters and none of them are B&K because B&K meters
tend to be more expensive than other brands. However, I think that the B&K model 2240 is better
suited to your needs than any other meter that I came across. I highly recommend that you
consider it in spite of the price tag. Also, you should consider that B&K sound level meters are
usually very durable and should work for many years. And, they provide good customer service.
The Chicago area technical representative for B&K should be willing to arrange a demonstration.
Tim Nosal (B&K Technical Representative for Chicago area)

Tim.nosal@bksv.com
This Ono Sokki meter and the Rion meter that follow are both Class 2 meters (not as accurate as a
Class 1 meter). They have relatively simple user interfaces. They are less expensive than the B&K
meter, but neither, in my opinion is nearly as good. Both companies will probably try to sell you one
of their more expensive models as an equivalent to the B&K meter, but I don’t think that either
company has a more expensive model that will have only the minimum necessary functionality and
be as simple to use. Never the less, I am providing them as options in case you cannot afford the
B&K meter.

Liquor Code Amendment Regarding License for Business in City Owned Building
Public Safety Committee – April 6, 2017
Majority
Approval
Please see attached.
Lisa Pickering Administration
Name Department
Summary
Consideration of an amendment to the liquor code to allow liquor licenses to be issued to
businesses in a city owned building.
Background
The City has received a request from Ginger and Soul located at 131 E. Hydraulic, Unit C
for a Restaurant Class R-2 license and an outdoor patio license as well. Liquor sales are allowed
under the license agreement that Ginger and Soul has with the City. Section 14.7 of Ginger and
Soul’s license agreement with the City states “The Licensee shall be permitted to sell alcoholic
beverages at the Premises, provided that the City has issued the Licensee a liquor license for the
Premises and the License maintains said liquor license while this Agreement remains in effect”.
The proposed code amendment would allow Ginger and Soul to hold a Restaurant and
Patio license if approved by the Mayor.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the attached ordinance.

Local Prosecution
Public Safety Committee – April 6, 2017
N/ A
Majority
Approval
See attached memo.
Chief of Police Rich Hart Police
Name Department
Summary
Review of two ordinances setting up the Yorkville Police Anticrime Task Force Commission
and setting minimum fines for local prosecution.
Background
The Kendall County State’s Attorney currently prosecutes all vehicle code violations issued by
the City of Yorkville. As a result of this arrangement, the City of Yorkville receives a minor percentage
of DUI fines and other moving code violations. Other municipalities have gone the route of taking over
prosecution of moving violations which then allows the City to receive a major percentage of the fine
amounts. I have spoken with an area attorney currently doing this in Dixon, to good success.
One of the benefits of this arrangement is that the City has more control over the prosecution
strategy for moving violations. Sometimes the Yorkville Police Department will have a different
experience with a defendant than the County, and the City may want to handle a case differently that the
County. Additionally, the strategy by the prosecutor allows the City to negotiate voluntary donations
from defendants to the City for anti-crime purposes. These voluntary, negotiated donations can be a
minor source of revenue for new anti-crime programs.
The act of using a local prosecutor instead of the State’s Attorney is currently allowed within the
City Code. The Mayor has the authority to appoint a prosecutor, similar to how the administrative
adjudication hearing officers are chosen. So, neither of the two attached ordinances deal with the
selection of the local prosecutor, but the decision to use a local prosecutor results in the need to amend
the City Code in two areas.
The first ordinance sets the minimum fines for local prosecution. The fine amounts for moving
violations at the circuit court level are currently set by state statute. The attached ordinance makes it
clear that the City will prosecute these violations with a minimum fine and a potentially larger fine, at
the local prosecutor’s discretion.
The second ordinance creates the Yorkville Police Anticrime Task Force. This is a local
commission of five individuals appointed by the Mayor that would have spending authority for any
funds generated as a result of voluntarily negotiated donations with defendants as a result of the
prosecution of moving violations. In Dixon, this amount is usually $20,000 to $80,000 per year,
depending on case load and case type. The anticrime task force will then review programs, policies, and
equipment that the City can use for new anticrime initiatives. According to the Dixon prosecutor, these
funds cannot be used for general police and/or City purposes, and the funds cannot be simply deposited
into the Police Capital fund to use for general capital purchases like squad cars.
Memorandum
To: Public Safety Committee
From: Rich Hart, Police Chief
CC:
Date: March 30, 2017
Subject: Local prosecution
Finally, the decision to use a local prosecutor will have no impact on other state-level cases
including assault, battery, theft, etc. The local prosecutor will only focus on moving violations under the
Illinois Vehicle Code.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance creating the Yorkville Police Anticrime Task Force
Commission and setting minimum fines for local prosecution.
