Chairman met with sound engineers of both the Plant and Vaughn concerts, some points were over the limit, but largely due to crowd noise. Chairman went to Lantern Lane during the concert and did not have readings over 60 db. 4f -2- MINUTES BOARD OF HEALTH June 2, 1988 Great Woods Cont.- Chairman believes that the above average noise levels are caused by the performers bringing their own oversized speakers, and not by Great Woods equipment. It was decided to continue to periodically monitor Great Woods, and to try to work with them to contain the level of sound, and to work with the performers to keep the livel of sound reasonable. We are getting complaints from only extremes in the community- the com- plaints need to be from a broader base of people to be effective.

A permanant committee has been formed in Mansfield to deal with the question. No one has been named to this committee. There was concern that 125 tons a day is too low a figure to be feasable, since we now have 22 tons of trash, not including industrial. Also concern for the health and welfare of the citizens. The chairman would like input from other boards. He does not feel that the decision should rest wih a 5 member board, though he realizes the final decision will be with the Board of Health.
