RENSSELAERVILLE — A special town board meeting will be held to discuss a draft noise-control law on April 28, at 7 p.m.

“The Town Board finds that every person is entitled to have maintained noise levels which are not detrimental to life, health and the enjoyment of property,” the proposed law states, “and that excessive and unnecessary noise within the Town of Rensselaerville affects and is a menace to public health, safety, welfare, and the comfort of the people of the town, and negatively affects the value of their property.”

The law specifically prohibits excessive noise from motor vehicles, social gatherings between midnight and 8 a.m., and construction between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.

It exempts excessive noise in cases of public safety, emergency, with permission from the town, farming, and for instruments used by churches, synagogues, or schools affiliated with the state government.

The Tuesday meeting will be held at Town Hall, 87 Barger Road in Medusa.
