The Clarendon City Council will consider adopting a noise ordinance when it meets in regular session Thursday night, January 23.
City Administrator David Dockery said three residents attended last week’s called meeting and brought up the idea. Carol Braddock, Cathy Marable, and Sara SoRelle spoke in favor of enacting an ordinance to govern excessive noise.
Aldermen will consider that request this week along with how such an ordinance might be worded and enforced.
During last week’s meeting, the council renewed the city’s curfew ordinance. That regulation on how late minors can be out must be reauthorized every three years. Generally, minors cannot be out between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday or between midnight and 6 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. The ordinance does allow several exceptions for the curfew.
The council approved a job description for the city aquatics center manager, and Dockery says that position will be posted in the next two weeks. The firm that has designed the aquatics center helped the city draft the description for the manager’s position.
Three members were appointed to the Clarendon Economic Development Corporation Board of Directors. Brandon Frausto, Steve Hall, and Taylor Shelton will each serve two-year terms on that board.
No action was taken on a bid on six lots in north Clarendon after county commissioners rejected the bid earlier.
In his administrator’s report, Dockery said several more trust properties will be coming up for sale by Texas Communities Group and reported that the USDA project has run over its term and the contractor is in liquidated damages now. Dockery also reported that the city has been recognized for having a Superior Water System by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
