The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to determine whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each page. In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column reflects the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up -to -date volume. The letters "OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the Supplement Service and appear as published for the original Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number printed on the bottom of the page. In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in compiling an up -to -date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

These terms shall be defined and the amounts will be designated at least once a year during the village budget discussions.

All repur- chase agreement transactions shall adhere to the requirements of the master repurchase agree- ment. (m) Bid requirement.

Based on these considerations, the chief financial officer will analyze and select one or more optimal types of investments and competitively bid the security in question when feasible and appropriate. Ex- cept as otherwise required by law, the bid deemed to best meet the investment objectives specified in subsection III must be selected. (n) Internal controls. (1) The chief financial officer shall establish and maintain a written system of internal controls made a part of the village's oper- ational procedures. The internal controls shall be designed to prevent losses of funds, which might arise from fraud, em- ployee error, misrepresentation by third parties, or imprudent actions by employ- ees of the village.

For the purposes of this Code, ambient noise level is that level which is exceeded only fifty (50) percent of the time during an observation period of not less than seven (7) minutes, excluding random or intermittent noises and the alleged offensive noise at the location and the time of day at which a comparison with an alleged offensive noise is to be made. The evaluation of the ambient (Cross references — Enforcement of Ch. 19, Art.

(2) Repeat the observations and measure- ments over a period of not less than seven (7) minutes and of a sufficient time period so as to make at least fifty (50) readings. (3) Calculate the A- weighted sound pressure level that is exceeded fifty (50) percent of the observation period. This level shall also be referred to as the L50. Acoustical terminology.

Discrete tone means a pure tone or a single - frequency sound. This is expressed technically as a sound wave whose instantaneous sound pres- sure varies essentially as a single sinusoidal function of time. Emergency work means work made necessary to restore property to a safe condition following a natural disaster or public calamity; or work re- quired to protect persons or property from immi- Supp. No. 21 1230 nent danger caused by hurricanes, tornados, floods or other natural disasters or public calamity; or work by private or public utilities when installing or restoring utility service. Fixed source means a machine or device capa- ble of creating a noise level at the property line upon which it is located, including, but not lim- ited to, industrial and commercial process machin- ery and equipment, pumps, fans, air conditioning apparatus, refrigeration machines or pool heat- ers. Fluctuating noise means a noise in which the loudness varies with time. This is expressed tech- nically as a noise whose sound pressure level varies significantly and exceeds the ambient noise level. Impulsive noise means a very short duration noise. It is a noise characterized by brief exertions of sound pressure which significantly exceed the ambient sound pressure. Intermittent noise means an interrupted noise which reoccurs at either regular or irregular intervals, excluding an impulsive noise. The sound pressure level of an intermittent noise will equal the ambient environmental level two (2) or more times during the period of observation. Motor vehicle means any vehicle which is self - propelled. Motorcycle means any motor vehicle having a seat or saddle for the use of the rider and de- signed to travel on not more than three (3) wheels in contact with the ground, but excluding a trac- tor. Motor - driven cycle means any motorcycle, and any motor scooter with a motor which produces not to exceed five -brake horsepower, including every bicycle with a motor attached. Nonsteady noise is the same as a fluctuating noise. Period of observation means the time interval during which acoustical data and facts are ob- tained. Sound means a temporal and spatial oscilla- tion in pressure, or other physical quantity in a i OFFENSES AND MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS medium with internal forces that causes compres- sion and rarefaction of that medium, and which propagates at finite speed td distant points. Sound pressure level, in decibels, of a sound is twenty (20) times the logarithm to the base ten (10) of the ratio of the pressure of the'sound to the reference sound pressure. The reference is 0.0002 microbar. The sound pressure level may be eval- uated using FLAT, A, B, or C scales as defined by the American National Standards Institute and shall be labeled dB, . dBA, dBB or dBC respec- tively The A- weighted sound pressure level mea- sured with fast response on an instrument meet- ing American National Standards Institute specifications or its successor bodies, except that only the A- weighting and fast dynamic response need be provided, shall be called the "sound level." .Steady noise means a nonfluctuating noise or a noise whose level remains essentially constant during the period of observation. \ Unnecessary, excessive or offensive noise is any sound which: (1) Endangers or injures the safety or health -.._ of humans or personal or real property; (2) Exceeds any dBA limits established pur- suant to this article; (3) Is loud and raucous; (4) Tends to annoy a substantial number of persons in the community; or (5) Is plainly audible and causes or tends to cause an adverse psychological or physio- logical effect on human beings.
