He stated that Condition 3 could be clarified. <br />Council Member Stigney stated he thought the events would be held indoors, but the Resolution <br />refers to outdoor with no reference to indoor. Community Development Director Robert explained <br />that a CUP is not required to sell merchandise inside the building. <br />Council Member Stigney asked if larger items may be auctioned inside the building even though <br />on display outside. Community Development Director Roberts stated they could conduct an <br />auction in that way, or hold the auction outside. <br />Council Member Stigney asked if the vendors could auction their merchandise. Community <br />Development Director Roberts stated the auction would be conducted by the licensed auctioneer. <br />Council Member Stigney asked staff to clarify that point in the Resolution. <br />Council Member Stigney referenced Condition 6 regarding signage and asked where the signs can <br />be located, within the vendor's rental space or along the boulevard.

Community Development Director <br />Roberts stated that is part of the auctioneer's State licensure. <br />Council Member Stigney expressed concern that the CUP is being considered on a permanent <br />basis but he would support an interim permit so it can be operated on a trial basis and then <br />reevaluated at the end of the season. Clerk-Administrator Ericson advised that an expiration or <br />renewal date cannot be considered, by State Law, for CUPs. <br />Mayor Flaherty stated he had been assured by staff that the CUP contained enough legalese for <br />review and revocation if problems occur and it doesn't work out. <br />Council Member Stigney stated he would like to include language that the operation will be <br />• reviewed and resident input received. Clerk-Administrator Ericson stated the City Attorney is <br />recommending that language not be included in the CUP; however, the Council can hold a public <br />
