5-7-1: PURPOSE:

The purpose of this chapter is the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the City. It is determined that sound can and does constitute a hazard to the health, safety, welfare and quality of life of residents of the City. The Mayor and Council, by way of Idaho Code section 50-308, are empowered to impose reasonable limitations and regulations upon the production of sound to reduce the harmful effects thereof. Now, therefore, it is hereafter the policy of this City to prevent and regulate sound generated by loud amplification devices wherever it is deemed to be harmful to the health, safety, welfare or quality of life of the citizens of the City, and this chapter shall be liberally construed to effectuate that purpose. (1952 Code § 6-20-01)
