Apache Junction council votes 5-2 not to change city code on amplified noise, odor

The city council will not discuss further a citizen committee’s recommendation that residents be notified prior to events that have amplified sounds or produce odors.

A motion by Councilman Dave Waldron to revisit the issue at a July meeting failed, 1-6, at the June 20 Apache Junction City Council meeting. Voting yes was Mr. Waldron and voting no were Mayor Jeff Serdy, Vice Mayor Chip Wilson and council members Jeff Struble, Robin Barker and Gail Evans.

The city council then voted 5-2 on a motion from Vice Mayor Wilson to take no further action and continue with the present ordinance. Voting yes were Mayor Serdy, Vice Mayor Wilson, Mr. Struble and Mrs. Barker. Voting no were Mr. Waldron and Mrs. Evans.
