Jay Socol, public informa tion officer for the city, said a first offense will be a Class-C misdemeanor, punishable by fines of up to $2000. In a statement, Socol said loud bass in a vehicle, loud music at a party and musical instruments at full volume are the primary targets of the noise ordinance. Jose Perez, a senior petrole um engineering major and Bryan resident, said the change in enforcing the noise ordi nance will be unfair, because some police officers are more lenient than others. “When you are at a party, you really don’t know how loud the music is,” he said. “It’s always nice to have a warning.” Waco and El Paso police, which were consulted by Bryan city officials, use a deci bel meter, Scheets said. College Station’s noise enforcement methods were not used when Bryan officials decided to change their policy, Scheets said. Scheets said the hardest part of enforcing a noise ordinance will be moving vehicles. “The object is to make people a little more aware of what time of day it is,” he said. “We want them to make a judgment on how loud (noise) needs to be.” System Continued from page 1 by Gov. Rick Perry, and could face 11 to 13 percent budget cuts for 2004. This could mean up to $25 million in spending cuts next year, Wright said. Texas’ $9.9 bil lion deficit was mostly caused by higher than expected enrollment in Medicaid and other health and human services, state Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhom said. Unless hired elsewhere in the system or at another state agency, those layed off will be paid through Sept. 30 and for accrued vacation time, Wright said.
