Chicopee Centerville Community Center, 141 Morgan Avenue, on August 9, 2015,
between the hours of 11AM and 9PM.
BACKGROUND:
Mr. Bongomin is planning a community event at the Chicopee Centerville Community
th
Center on August 9. The event will center around an outdoor basketball tournament,
and will also include a free barbecue, funded by some area community leaders. The
event will include some recorded music being played. As such, the event organizer is
requesting an exemption from Chapter 450 (Noise) of the City’s Municipal Code.
REPORT:
This event was held last year, and staff advise that there were no significant concerns
reported.
Staff have discussed the event with the organizer, who has indicated that the event will
likely finish ahead of 9PM, but they wanted to leave some flexibility with the time.
Regardless, they understand that the event cannot go past 9PM. Also, they will be
advertising the event in the surrounding neighbourhood to advise them ahead of time.
In addition, they have designated an on-site person to act as a contact in the event that
a situation occurs that requires By-law Enforcement staff to attend.
