STAFF REPORT
As a result of concerns raised by citizens living nearby regarding the noise
emanating from Fiscalini Field and the "Spirit" baseball games, the City of
San Bernardino directed that a study be made of the noise levels generated.
Four sound consultants were contacted and the firm of J.J. Van Houten and
Associates, Inc. was selected.
The noise assessment conducted by J.J . Van Houten and Associates, Inc. consisted
of these elements: obtaining noise assessments, establishing appropriate noise
control standards, identifying standards as they relate to annoyance at community
locations near the ball park and to recognized noise regulations, assessing the
impact, indicating methods by which noise levels may be reduced to legal standards,
and methods by which community annoyance may be reduced or eliminated, and pro-
viding recommendations concerning actions which should be taken by the city.
The preliminary report required by the agreement has been reviewed and the final
report has now been completed. Representatives of J.J. Van Houten and Associates,
Inc. are now ready to present the report to the Mayor and Common Council .
