I. COUNCIL BUSINESS
I1. DISCUSSION OF YARD SALE REGULATIONS AND PLACEMENT OF SIGNS ADVERTISING FOR
YARD SALES
Staff report presented by Bill Makshanoff, Building Official.
Councilmember Curatalo stated a previous City he had lived in allowed yard sales twice a year, and to his
knowledge there were not any complaints about that.
Councilmember Biane did not think there should be a fee charged for those people having yard sales. He felt
when a person does come in to obtain a permit for a yard sale, it should be logged into a book so there is a
way to keep track of how many times a certain residence is holding a yard sale. He inquired as to what kind
of fee code enforcement was looking at.
Bill Makshanoff stated as far as processing a permit, a fee should cover that, but that it is more from the
enfomement side of it when you have to go out in the field on a Friday or Saturday and verifying whether or
not the people having the yard sales have a permit or not. He stated if someone is found not to have a permit
and they don't come in the following Monday to obtain one, the cost to go after them is more than the cost of
the permit. He stated he didn't think there were that many people abusing this.
Mayor Alexander felt some of the problems that have been identified need to be addressed.
Councilmember Williams asked how they should respond when they get letters and calls from residents that
are complaining about their neighbors having yard sales for weeks and weeks.
Bill Makshanoff stated if people are stodng a lot of items in their backyard, there are already code provisions
for this which they are already responding to. He felt by adding a code enforcement officer with the adoption
of the budget they can help to control the yard sale issue a little better.
Councilmember Williams felt the yard sale provisions should be advertised to the public more so they are
aware of the restrictions, such as Ontado does.
Bill Makshanoff, Building Official, stated they could do this through the Grapevine.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated all of the yard sale signs are what bothers him. He asked if code
enforcement could go out into the City on Mondays and take them down off the poles, etc. He stated on
Lemon and Haven on the east side, at the apartments there are people that sit out on the sidewalk and sell
things and felt this should be monitored. He stated he did not want to have to tie up someone by monitoring
this full time.
Mayor Alexander opened the meeting for public testimony. Addressing the City Council was:
John Verdun, 7786 Jadeite, presented pictures for the Council to see. He also had pictures of how
people store their things in their yard in between yard sales. He asked if there was anything code
enforcement could do for people that abuse this so they can be cited and fined. He stated a neighbor
of his does the yard sale very often in the summer especially. He felt the number of yard sales
allowed should by limited and the people would not keep accumulating junk on their property.
Councilmember Gutierrez felt it would be a good idea to have the rule in place so code enforcement can act
on those residents abusing this.

Bill Makshanoff, Building Official, felt staff had enough information so they could draft an ordinance for the
Council to consider.
Councilmember Curatalo stated he agreed and felt it would help to make people comply.
Councilmember Williams asked if Upland's Ordinance has helped their situation or if the City has had any
problems.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated no, but that he would help to draft an ordinance to bring back to the
Council to consider.
Councilmember Williams felt the education process was important also.
Mr. Verdun stated people ai'e also parking across the sidewalk which is making it unsafe for children
in the area.
