Saunders asked M. Canfield about the police detail for the event. M. Canfield said use of his officers cost about $6000.00 in overtime. They agreed to use CERT last year, and they wanted $500.00 a day. M. Canfield said using CERT is the cheaper way of doing this. S. Saunders said we can make that a condition of approval and they can talk to Scott Myers on this issue. M. Canfield said that they have to have traffic control as the public crosses in multiple locations where there are not crosswalks. K. Erickson said that CERT is no longer funded by the state and that they have to find a way to fund the organization; they are non-profit and volunteers. It is much less expensive to fund the CERT team than to use police officers. S. Saunders said she had discussed this with S. Myers already and he questioned why we can’t use on-duty police officers. She and M. Canfield will talk to S. Myers on this. M. Canfield said that until last year they had officers there. He still gave them 3 officers last year. Motion: K. Dunleavy moved to approve the application with the condition of approval that traffic control is required and that they will work out payment with the city. M. Canfield seconded and all voted in favor, 3-0. The meeting returned to the Licensing portion. Licensing Regular: J.

Cliff Jones made the second. This is for selling from 12/20 – 1/20. C. Jones said he and Charles Roffo went out and did a CO for the building, but he did not know at that time that they were placing a wooden structure over the grill. K. Erickson said that went up yesterday. C. Jones said it is small and he isn’t sure if a building permit is really required for something like this. However he would want C. Roffo to take a look at this again due to the structure being placed over a grill. S. Saunders said we will have Fire check that out. It was determined that he placed the grill in front of the building, and not in the parking lot, as had been indicated. S. Saunders said she has no issues with that unless it blocks the sidewalk. S. Saunders said she is fine with it being in this location and K. Erickson said he has no issues.
