DATE: MARCH 17, 2003
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION WAIVING GARAGE AND YARD
SALE PERMIT FEES FOR THE LAST WEEKEND OF APRIL 2003
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended City Council adopt the attached Resolution waiving Garage
and Yard Sale Permit fees for the last weekend of April 2003 in conjunction
with "Azusa Clean and Green Month".
BACKGROUND
In celebration of Earth Day, the City of Azusa has celebrated the month of April
as a time for the city to actively participate in Earth Day events by supporting a
theme of renewal, conservation, and spring-cleaning. This year the month of
April is being proclaimed "Azusa Clean and Green Month". In conjunction with
this celebration a number of events are being planned, and include; clean-up of
city facilities, tree planting, alley clean-up, a hazardous waste drop-off event,
free towing and disposal of junk vehicles, plant and paint giveaways, and the
opening of a Compressed Natural Gas Refueling Facility.
In order to extend this event across the city and allow greater resident
participation, staff is requesting that the City Council waive garage and yard
sale permit fees for the last weekend of April. The requested waiver would be
for the fee only, and would not authorize the conduct of garage and yard sales
without first obtaining a permit, or allow additional yard sales beyond those
provided for in the municipal code. Residents are currently allowed to conduct
two (2) yard sales per calendar year, and Senior Citizens are allowed one (1)
per month.
