Description
Drumming and other assorted instruments continue along Lakeshore Ave, violating OMC 12.56.010, intruding and disturbing the residents along Lakeshore Ave. Please restore "park rules" signs that were previously posted at entrance to the park.

Actually I copied the 12.56.010 from the signs that used to be posted at the entrances to the park before the big renovation. The aforementioned OMC did specifically prohibit the playing of musical instruments without a permit. 12. 64.120. does address the amplified music situation. The new sign posted at the entrance ot the park by the library apparantly has superceded the 12.56. 010 and is now listed as 12.64.260 (musical instruments w/o a permit) and 12.64.120 addresses the amplified sound issue.

Hi Marvin,
I don't know about the signs, but I read the actual code sections and it seems clear to me that 12.56.010 defines "sound amplifying equipment" as being electrical amplification devices only, and 12.64.120 prohibits the use of such electrical amplification equipment without a permit etc. I don't see any section 12.64.260 at all. You can read the code here: http://library.municode.com/index.aspx?clientId=16308.
I don't care that much either way, but I once had a case involving this issue and so had some familiarity with the code sections.
Best,
Susan
