"Councilperson Ahmed initiated discussion regarding amendment of Ordinance 434 and offered the following resolution.
Resolution by Councilperson Ahmed.
RESOLVED, that the Common Council hereby does request our legal department to draft amendments to Hamtramck City Ordinance 434 for the purpose of regulating amplified "calls to prayer" with specific restrictions regarding level of amplification, schedules, duration and a method of resolving complaints. The amendments should include the following points:
The level of all amplified broadcasts must be set as to not cause valid complaint as determined by the Council.
The "call to prayer" may be amplified only from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. for duration not lasing longer than five minutes.
Any complaints shall be referred to the Council and the Council shall, after consultation with parties involved, decide on a course of action to resolve the complaint.
Such actions may include a requirement to reduce the volume, reduce the duration, and change the direction of the amplification or in the extreme, for the amplification to cease. The Council may make the determination that a complaint is not justified and therefore requires no action.
Supported by Councilperson Cedar.
Carried unanimously."
