She asked the <br />council for clarification on standards for a sound studyT including locations the studyT <br />should be conducted, volume, and penalties for violating the noise requirements. <br />Council discussed options for reducing noise including setting standards for noise <br />mitigation based on expansion, noise barriers, or reduced hours. <br />CouncilmembeY Westgaard stated that it seems that all noise in that aYea gets <br />attributed to ERX even if it is conducted on a nearb�- propertt-. <br />Ms. Goodin stated ERX is in a financial crisis and needs the additional revenue that <br />the new viewing structuYe would have provided. She stated there is a chance theyr <br />would have to sell the site as they aYe not making the revenue the�� need. She stated <br />that conducting a noise study would be cost prohibitive but that she did not want to <br />pull the Conditional Use PeYmit application because conditions ma�r change in the <br />future. <br />Council asked if theYe weYe certain events that caused moYe noise and noise <br />complaints than others. <br />Ms. Goodin stated there are five event da�rs each �re� that geneYate most noise <br />complaints.
