Dear Mr. Wolff,
Thank you for your letter dated August 25, 2009 regarding the request from St. Mary's Episcopal
Church for a memorial electronic bell chime to play music on appropriate dates and times.
Based upon my conversations with Mayor James Realph and City Administrator Rod Storm, the
City of Blair does not issue permits for such items and therefore does not restrict their installation.
As with any bell chime, the City might in the future receive a complaint concerning excessive noise
from any electronic bell chime St. Mary's Episcopal Church might install. If that would occur, City
staff would work with the church to resolve the issue according to any ordinance that exists at that
time.
As you indicated in your letter, playing the bell chime only during the hours of daylight and at a
pleasing sound level should help alleviate any complaints that might arise.
Thank you for checking with the City regarding your request. And thank you for your many years of
great service to the citizens of Blair!

Attention: Phil Green
Dear Mr. Green,
The St. Mary's Episcopal Church is writing this letter in regard to a,request for a
memorial for an electronic bell chime that would play music on appropriate calendar
dates. The above would be played only during the hours of day light and at a pleasing
sound level like that of Dana College, First Lutheran Church, and Hanson's Insurance
Agency which has a striking clock on main street.
Thank you in advance for your consideration in'this request.
Sincerely,
St. Mary's Episcopal Church
