Councilmember Kurak suggested there be a requirement that the conditional use peri'nit would no longer be in effect if the home sells. Mayor Gamec noted the City may want to review the permit for the next property owner to be sure there are not any license violations. The next owner would need to apply for a new permit. Councilmember Elvig requested item "h" be eliminated, as it may be over the top as far as costs.

Case #11: Authorize Staff to Approve Transient Merchant Licenses, Administratively, Relating to the Game Fair Weekends Police Chief Way reviewed that Game Fair was held this past weekend and the enforcement of transient merchant licenses was addressed. In the past, the City has not enforced this requirement. However, the number of transient merchants has increased yearly, and it is' now becoming an issue of safety. People are setting up on the boulevards and forcing pedestrians to walk out on the streets. By requiring a license, the persons would be told where they can and cmmot set up for sales. Along with their license, they will be given a copy of the City's Code relating to transient merchants plus information from the Police Department about staying out of the right-of-way. A Ramsey Police Officer visited everyone last weekend who was intending to sell things and informed them of the City's requirement. Staff has received applicants fi'om four more individuals thus far and expects there may be more during this week. Staff is asking for Council to approve the license 'applications received and to authorize staff to administratively approve the licenses they receive later this week. Staff is requesting this motion gn'ant approval for fktture Game Fair weekends also. Motion by Councilmember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember Kurak, to approve Transient Merchant licenses for LeRoy Line, William Dold, Michael Mordorski, and Nathan Nistler, to sell puppies in the Central Park area neighborhood, and to authorize City staff to administratively approve Transient Merchant Licenses for Game Fair weekends, for this year and future years.
