BACKGROUND
Each year, Mosport applies for licences to run their various activities, in accordance with the
municipality's public entertainment by-law.
For the 2003 season, applications have been received for:
. Stock Car Racing - Mosport Oval Track - 18 Saturday nights, May 10 through
September 6
. Mosport Roadcourse
. Victoria Day Trans-Am - May 16-18
. Cascar Event - June 13-15
. Vintage Races - June 27-29
. Motorcycle Racing - July 18-20
. Grand Prix Alms Event - August 14-17
The licencing by-law sets out various requirements which must be met prior to licences being
issued. In respect of racing events at Mosport, the by-law requires, in part, that Mosport
provide:
. written evidence from a professional engineer that the maximum level of audible sound
measured at four noise monitoring locations shall not exceed certain levels as outlined
in the by-law; and
. an agreement to save the municipality harmless and indemnify it from any costs,
charges, expenses and liability that it may incur as a result of monitoring of sound
levels, either by municipal employees. contractors or consultants.
In 2002, Council exempted Mosport from the requirement that they retain the services of a
sound engineer to provide the evidence that the sound levels will not exceed the limits set out
in the by-law. This was due to the fact that the complaints had decreased so significantly since
the requirement was added to the by-law. It is recommended that this same exemption apply
to the licences for the 2003 season. Mosport has agreed to cover the municipality's costs for
sound monitoring as needed.
