At last night’s (Wednesday) city council meetings Sheriff Jeff Sales adressed some of the concerns with the noise ordinance.

He said that the police department now has decibel readers to deal with complaints against businesses, and that he directs his officers to use them when ever possible.

The part of the law that does not require specific decibel level has made local venues worry about how the new law will be enforced and weather it is worth it to have live music.

The Bend City Council will revist the issue in January.
