Live Blogging: City Council Mobility Fee Moratorium & Metropolitan Park

[Ocklawaha]

All ignorant of the science that water amplifies sound and that sound travels faster over water.

Ocklawaha, drain the river!

Pete Stompfe Stitz. (?)

speaks very eloquently about the economic impact of the music industry.

I agree with him. Let the sound engineers work the problem. There is some great technology now that can help with this. Also, you can place sound monitors in St Nicholas to log the sound levels.

Chelsea Henry is here to give an update the Council about something or another.  She is very cute, and talking about how to become a financial wizard  by playing 'financial football" online.

Sounds like an infomercial

[Ocklawaha]

You'd think SOMEBODY would at least do a google search and learn what the science is... Maybe then they could fix it. Instead the blank faced council is hearing from space cadets. READY! FIRE! AIM! typical Jacksonville.

[Ocklawaha]

Where's the concession stand? Can we send out for pizza and beer?

[Ocklawaha]

I'm thinking a sound engineer could probably suggest a sound absorbing barrier so it would be a win-win.

So, the Metropolitan Park proponents have a small problem. They are largely opposing the bill that is in their favor. I suppose they are having a instinctual response to older legislators legislating...that can never be good...must oppose. The bill is designed to WAIVE the sound ordinance.

[Ocklawaha]

I think somebody on the back row is passing out Belladonna... I'm going to get in line.

[Ocklawaha]

Agreed, he's good. In case any of these music lovers are reading the live blog, pass the word, the bill is intended to waive the noise ordnance.

Ian Logue "threatens" city council with his future fame, says something like "If you keep metropolitan park alive I know I will be proud to say I'm from Jacksonville."

The attorney speaking says:

Metropolitan Park has operated under the assumption for year that it was exempt from the sound ordinance until Redman "" decided to ask general council if it was actually exempt. Pass legislation that is in line with the accepted practice.

The music folks are starting to sound like a prolonged rendition of the intro to John Abercrombie's 'Timeless." For those of you at home, click below and crank up your volume... that first minute or two is what we're hearing. Open a new tab and follow our comments while your hearing 'the music.'

We're all being thrown out.
