AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Al Broholm, 518 Bede Circle, North Aurora, IL – Mr. Broholm addressed the Board regarding loud noise from the Marmion banquet facility. Broholm said that he spoke with Adam, the property manager who said that since Marmion was there before the residents, that there is nothing that can be done in reference to the noise. Broholm asked who he would call in case of future loud noise from the property. Chief Summer suggested calling the North Aurora Police and they would take it from there. Atty. Drendel said that Marmion is not exempt by being a religious institution.
Trustee Faber added that there is a noise ordinance and if Marmion is violating a noise ordinance, the police should be called.
