A second reading on the ordinance is scheduled for the Tuesday council meeting. The council amended the proposed ordinance so only quiet work could be done Sunday, which excludes pile driving. The additional work would be done on alternate Sundays, not every Sunday, according to Village Manager Mike Couzzo. The ordinance would end Sept. 30.
