She felt four years was too long in between to rebid this. Jack Lam stated since this is a one year agreement they can review this with a one year renewal time frame which would make the contract two years. Suzanne Ota stated the contract could be modified to reflect this. Councilmember Williams stated it isn't just performance that needs to be looked at, but also if there are any local businesses that might be able to do the job just as well.

City Council Minu~s August6,1997 Page 6 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. City Council Minutes August 6, 1997 Page 7 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. J. IDENTIFICATION OF ITEMS FOR NEXT MEETING J1.
