Morrison explained the resolution basically sets forth fees for temporary permits and reflects most of our current fees. She advised the Tent Permit and inclusion of additional costs are new; reason for presentation of the resolution is to get charges in resolution form and to add onto the sidewalk sale and tent permit the additional costs. Morrison noted time spent by the Fire Chief and Sheriff Deputy for inspection of the tents and sidewalk sale will now be charged back to the applicant. After discussion, Council concurred that costs should not include policing, as that is paid through taxes; costs should only include direct "out-of-pocket" costs. Council discussed sidewalk sales and determined the permit should be issued per . sale, not per premise or business. Also discussed the "Casual Roadside Stand" permit; Morrison advised that portion of the resolution was carried forth from the previous resolution.
