Kim, of the Walton Sun, told me that the ordinace was up for a vote soon so I called the county and here is what I know. On May 11 at the Courthouse Annex at 4:00 there will be a public meeting for the purpose of reviewing and commenting on the new Noise Ordinance before putting it to a BOARD vote. You will not have a vote so be there to make your opinion known before the vote. I am working on getting a copy today and anyone can get a copy from the Clerk's office. I will post if I can figure out how. I may have to email one of you to post it for us.

As much as I would like to take credit, they have been following this thread and found me in order to find some of you. Let's see what the new ordinance looks like. Hopefully this will be over. If not, CNN here we come.

I think this is long from over, because as I understand it, they were proposing adopting the Grayton Ordinance as the County-wide Ordinance because it worked so well.

My hope is that the County peeps read the numerous verdicts from higher Courts which state that the ordinance cannot be subjective, such as the one in Grayton. Google could be their friend.

Other than David Kramer, no one will more than likely even realize what is going on. Why? Because these laws are passed all the time and not enforced north of the bay. One day that will change, and when it does, you will see the law go away, I imagine.

so i buy my beach front home for a million or so dollars, in a residential area, with covenants and restrictions that say no commercial activity. And you think it is okay that the guy next door rents out his million or so dollar home, every weekend, thursday through sunday, from april until september for a wedding, with noise, music, and activities going on into all hours of the night, and i am the bad guy?


yep!!!! He has his rights just like you do!!!

Whos opinion is it that it is working so well. Certainly not most of the folks around here.

Just replaced the ink cartridges in my printer so they might just get copies of any rulings that I happen upon while visiting my buddy, Google.
