TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: ROBERT PERSON, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER
VIA: RICK COLE, CITY MANAGER
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.
FISCAL IMPACT
Last year approximately 28 garage and yard sales were conducted. If a similar
number of sales occur this year the city would forego approximately $420.00 in few
revenue.
