MOTION PASSED 5-0. <br />ITEM 8: TREE SERVICE ORDINANCE; ORD. 08-083; ORD. 08-084, RES. 2013-50 City Clerk Bell explained the reason that this proposed ordinance was being brought forward. The fee schedule contains a fee for licensing tree service contractors. However, there is no ordinance in the code that staff can find that authorizes the City to license those contractors. This is outside of work in the right of way. Mr. Bell explained that regardless of what council chooses to do, adopt or reject the proposed licensing ordinance, the fee schedule needs to be addressed. Council Member Nelson stated he was not in favor of licensing. It should be on the individual to check for insurance. <br />MOTION: Mayor Pearson moved TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 08-083, AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING <br />LICENSING AND REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS FOR OTHER COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES. Council <br />Member Park seconded the motion. MOTION FAILED 0-5. Mr. Bell reiterated that because Council rejected the proposed ordinance, it now needs to remove the fee from the municipal fee schedule by adopting Ordinance 08-084 <br />MOTION: Council Member Bloyer moved TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 08-084, AN ORDINANCE <br />AMENDING MUNICIPAL FEES. Council Member Smith seconded the motion.
