The City regulates businesses by requiring that they acquire licenses and that some carry permits on their person during all operations. Some home remodeling projects also require permits and inspections to ensure that City standards are being upheld. Solicitors and tree trimmers are required to be licensed by the City. Solicitors must pass a criminal background check before they are granted licensure. Tree Trimmers are required to carry valid and specialized insurance. The City encourages residents to utilize business referrals and check in with the Better Business Bureau. Food trucks are required to be licensed by the City. Food trucks are inspected by the Fire Marshal and are required to park in the driveway or property of the resident; street parking and parking in the right of way is not allowed. This has been set in place to decrease pedestrian congestion and obscured street site lines. Safe neighborhoods allow residents to enjoy outdoor gatherings that build community. Many residential construction projects require permits, including additions, decks, fireplaces, furnaces, remodeling, and more. Projects must be inspected by the City when completed to make sure that the minimum standards are met.
