<DIV>Garrett,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>One of the reasons I dislike the time frame is that it seems to be saying it is OK to disrupt the sleep of those that work graveyard, but not OK to disrupt the 9-5 ers. Having worked graveyard before, I don't like this wording. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This ordinance also doesn't address lawnmowers, barking dogs, crying babies, noisy children, loud singing, and automobiles, all of which can be very disturbing. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Boise does also have a provision regarding the behavior of barking dogs. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Best,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Donovan<BR><BR><B><I>Garrett Clevenger <garrettmc@verizon.net></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">No new NOers,<BR><BR>I received an informative email from Linda Pall and we<BR>may be on our way to finding reasonable language.
