Other Council Present: Tim Scott, Henry Davis, Dr. Fred Ferlic, Karen White, Derek Dieter
Others Present: Kathy Cekanski- Farrand, John Voorde
Agenda: Bill No. 08 -13 - Amend Code "Block Party"
Chairperson Oliver Davis opened Public Works & Property Vacation Committee (PW & PV) with
one bill 08 -13, up for consideration. The bill was primarily developed by and presented to
committee by council member Tim Scott. According to Tim the bill would simply amend the
code referencing "block party" permits by exempting non - profits (501 -C3) organizations from
the $50.00 permit filing fee. He left it would provide warranted relief to often challenged non-
profits.
A somewhat surprising albeit legitimate, dissension was expressed during council discussion.
Dr. Ferlic and Henry Davis both opposed any exemptions. David Varner questioned why
information on permits granted in past years was not kept by the Finance Department. The City
Clerk said his office would maintain a file from now on. Valerie Schey wondered if the
exemption applied to "special events" as defined in the code, Tim said it did not.
Finally Valerie Schey moved to send favorably. Gavin Ferlic second and the committee
unanimously agreed.
Oliver Davis adjourned the meeting at 4:26 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,
& Property Vacation Committee
