NARRAGANSETT, R.I. -- As part of its continued campaign against loud house parties, the Narragansett Town Council Monday night passed an ordinance by a 4-1 vote that would allow the town to bill property owners or renters for the costs of responding to public disturbances.

The measure was opposed by the Rhode Island chapter of the ACLU, which said its definitions were too broad and open to abuse.

After spirited public comment, the council amended the ordinance to require written warnings from the police, to expand the amount of time for appeal and to narrow the definition of "disturbance."
The council also asked the town solicitor to return with proposals to define the costs violators must pay, which are not specified in the ordinance.
