Police Chief Katers shared that as far as he knows, the Police Department has never reported <br /> anything related to multi-family garage sales. He noted that the primary issue is with outside <br /> vendors coming in and setting up a booth on someone's property right before the weekend <br /> expecting a permit. <br /> RECESS AND RECONVENE <br /> The meeting recessed at 6:59 p.m. <br /> The meeting reconvened at 9:15 p.m. <br /> 2.03: Discuss the Transient Merchant license approval process for Game Fair (continued) <br /> Community Development Director Hanson shared the communications that the City sends to <br /> educate the public on the licensing requirements. <br /> City Administrator Hagen shared that in previous years they have sent emails; however, this year <br /> they will be sending mailed letters to both the license holder and the property owner where they <br /> set up their booth. He added that Staff will also be making sure that all departments are on the <br /> same page. <br /> Councilmember Olson asked if the communication will be sent through email and regular mail. <br /> City Administrator Hagen said yes. <br /> Councilmember Specht asked if this will also apply to homeowners wanting to have a garage sale. <br /> City Administrator Hagen said that homeowners are still allowed to have a garage sale. <br /> Councilmember Specht asked how this would work for enforcement to prove that a homeowner is <br /> having a garage sale at their own home. <br /> Community Development Director Hanson said she is not sure as this is the first time they have <br /> even talked about this because they have never had any actual issues come up at Game Fair. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked if the need for the transient license is only within the Game Fair <br /> mapped area. <br /> City Administrator Hagen said that it is for all through the City. He added that they will be willing <br /> to work with transient merchants who initially sign up for Game Fair then want to move and set <br /> up to other areas of the City as well. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove noted that the JPA has a set price for police officers. She said this needs <br /> to be updated to reflect the current rate. She noted they can look at this at a later time to make sure <br /> it has all the current info. <br /> City Council Work Session/May 14, 2024 <br /> Page 5 of 10 <br />
