Her role
The Director of Health & Human Services administers Stamford's Noise Control Ordinance, Chapter 164. That includes deciding whether to grant temporary noise waivers.
Granting a waiver is at the Director's discretion. She has confirmed this to a resident in person.
What she signed
Each waiver states it "is hereby granted in accordance with City of Stamford Noise Ordinance Chapter 164."
