Case #B: Approve License Applications Councilmember Anderson stated that last year the SA had a vendor on the property that had rugs for sale.

Police Chief Gustafson noted that that issue does not come before the Police Department. Mayor Gamec stated that the site line when the Christmas trees were being sold on the property was a problem.
