Council Member Doug WilsonCouncil Member Doug Wilson communicated with a representative of Insomniac, who
had its team travel around Grand Terrace to determine the sound impacts of its events
at the National Orange Show. Council Member Wilson recommended that the
representatives park in front of his home during peak hours of the event to measure the
sound levels. He also suggested that their third party sound monitors follow from his
location, north, to a point of origin to determine if the uniqueness of the California
Resources easement where a channel has been created over time might be adding to
the amount of low pressure volume and therefore impacting particular sections of the
City, which he believes the City’s sheriff’s department intended to map and get to the
City Manager about the complaints that they have received to help determine whether
or not there is in fact a channel the impact is making its way through.
Council Member Wilson is happy to report that the quonset hut over in the northwest
corner of the National Orange Show has been demolished which he believes amplified
the sound towards the direction of the City and this removal of the structure should
make a difference in the reduction of sound during the next scheduled event.
Council Member Wilson suggested that the City hire their own third party sound
evaluator, as well.
