Brad Clark presented the application, which listed vendors, prepackaged foods, educational workshops and live music and estimated attendance of about 50 people. Clark noted the city's park-use code (Title 6.46.11) requires written council approval for commercial solicitation in parks. The application proposed April 20 for an all‑day event; council members and staff observed that date falls on Easter Sunday and could conflict with traditional park uses.

Council members said they lacked sufficient detail about the event and its commercial activities and asked whether vending would include retail merchandise or potentially regulated products. No representative of the applicant was present to answer questions. \"I don't know what I'm voting for. I need additional information,\" Mayor Joel said.

Councilor Kathleen moved to table the request; the motion passed by roll-call vote. Council directed staff to request more detailed event information from the applicant and noted possible scheduling conflicts to resolve before the permit would be considered again.","The council voted to table an application to hold a Medicine Show event with vendors in Riverside Park, citing insufficient information from the applicant and potential scheduling conflicts, including Easter Sunday.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6127597,"Council denies Mama Bee's Farm LLC request to operate mobile vending trailer in Grasshopper lot",2412,1665000,4077000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2662244-50541c0d930dec7805138394933f51e3&start=1665&end=4077","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2662244-50541c0d930dec7805138394933f51e3/thumbnail_1665000.jpg","/articles/6127597/Grants-Pass-City/Josephine-County/Oregon/Council-denies-Mama-Bees-Farm-LLC-request-to-operate-mobile-vending-trailer-in-Grasshopper-lot","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6127597-2822721fbce5556ac92cdce443af9b72/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448474&Signature=JKVqLSRZlqPvoLpLNr8K8oxi0h9ac2x6-pK9akOsTBoCPH7xaw9RJUcuOIyBaTibmTfzV8FYPoljaPY0XWXyj-VonkoX1TeL1txRHcqO7i1OyWxIsOmDO-dMWiH9FW0TYn3DGP2Hx4FR7fdQlgQRR2bd-xxSQWsjmmAJjsD0ZFDY6q4rq5YjbBF080g6qu8pRJ3pEK2ry2LTJv42MsFBJSeB5UOlCne3671crsxu0p4b3SYfscmjc6gSZfM3tuQszLsloWmXT0q8aENeCSH7O8Zp8ooeEUEZFFqyxyT9zstYB4Q-fFEgEE0lzVbZUyz98HRjMrn8K8QC9z6cq1ISvA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Grants Pass City Council voted to deny an application from Mama Bee's Farm LLC to operate a mobile vending trailer in the Grasshopper parking lot at 201 Northwest F Street.

Brad Clark of the Community Development Department presented the application and the staff recommendation, noting the municipal code authorizes certain food vendors in public rights-of-way but does not expressly authorize nonfood vendors in the public parking lot. Clark outlined proposed conditions if the council were to approve the request, including limiting the vendor to two parking spaces, daily removal of the trailer, operating hours, and no signs outside the designated space.

Applicant Britney Doyle (representing Mama Bee's Farm LLC) told the council she wants to sell flowers and advocated more broadly for allowing local growers to sell produce downtown. \"I am here a little bit more, not just for myself, but for agriculture and farmers in general,\" she said.

Several downtown business owners and residents urged the council to deny the license or study broader policy changes first. Alexis Smithy, owner of Grove Florist and Gifts, said, \"Allowing a private business to operate on a public property without the same financial commitment doesn't create a fair playing ground.\" Other public commenters raised concerns that corner sellers on city streets do not pay fees while the Growers Market pays a vendor fee.

Council members debated parking supply, potential impacts on brick-and-mortar businesses, Growers Market contracts, enforcement and fees. Multiple councilors said they would prefer broader policy review and community engagement before authorizing regular weekday vending in the lot. The mayor recorded a roll-call vote with all voting to deny the license; the mayor then said the motion to deny passed.","Following extensive public comment and council questions about fairness to downtown businesses, the council voted to deny Mama Bee's Farm LLC a license to operate a mobile vending trailer in the Grasshopper parking lot.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6127602,"Council approves $25,000 in spring 2025 sustainable tourism grants from lodging tax",554,1091000,1645000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2662244-50541c0d930dec7805138394933f51e3&start=1091&end=1645","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2662244-50541c0d930dec7805138394933f51e3/thumbnail_1091000.jpg","/articles/6127602/Grants-Pass-City/Josephine-County/Oregon/Council-approves-25000-in-spring-2025-sustainable-tourism-grants-from-lodging-tax","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6127602-7164f7af02f09be07ff6154b7d6feb6e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448474&Signature=K0wZmGOPyq~nDwHLhgYAYuSi~HLW1FSk~igitRlYYM71zux9izd0lGIHfEpj1m96BBwnsd~oLy~oepJJ-mxhbULAF7KDQe-qpcpttTXLi1jfixYlIfHXgRhqdZOyUvC5VxXc~I3j5gyG5pqgx5FD0HnuZw6zZrW62SNWc6APT8LRMC0vSw~xtr0HJejmhsE5Fgf8c34iaYKtT09Hf6DWpBhSLxQfPeiYbWVOQeohjyc-s2jy5XORzUkdBJefj3YBC8UM1s9nrGZuQ5OOUb9MJiVZaVK2sf0V2ZH8HlVds1CDMyLZ1IgivFrrSM02kkdjFxj2-k2eRvJkoXR1cln~yA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Grants Pass City Council voted to adopt a resolution awarding $25,000 in spring 2025 sustainable tourism grant funds to seven applicants, distributing lodging-tax revenue to local promotional projects.

Dana Pierce of the city's economic development division told the council the program was established by a council resolution in April 2023 and is funded from surplus tourism-promotion lodging tax. \"This resolution will award lodging tax funds to 7 grant applicants,\" Pierce said, outlining the program rules and eligibility requirements tied to ORS 320.35.

The grant review subcommittee recommended full $5,000 awards to Operation Rambo, So Ready Southern Oregon Innovation Hub, and Southern Oregon Horse Racing Association. Partial awards of $2,500 each were recommended for Rogue Valley Classic Cruisers, Blazin' Monkeys LLC, Grants Pass Museum of Art, and the Grants Pass Active Club. Pierce said the spring cycle requested $33,000 but the available pool for the cycle was $25,000; awards are distributed as reimbursements on submittal of eligible receipts.

After a brief council exchange about scoring and fiscal year timing, the council moved and adopted the resolution by roll-call vote with all present voting yes. The packet lists eligibility requirements that include a city business registration, location within the urban growth boundary (with a 5-mile exception noted), lodging-tax-eligible expenses under ORS 320.35, and an expectation the project attract people from 50-plus miles away or lead to overnight stays.","Grants Pass council approved recommendations from the grant review subcommittee to award $25,000 in lodging-tax-funded tourism promotion grants to seven applicants in the spring 2025 cycle.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6127607,"Council adopts amendment to development code requiring new public notice for some land-use applications",98,957000,1055000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2662244-50541c0d930dec7805138394933f51e3&start=957&end=1055","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2662244-50541c0d930dec7805138394933f51e3/thumbnail_957000.jpg","/articles/6127607/Grants-Pass-City/Josephine-County/Oregon/Council-adopts-amendment-to-development-code-requiring-new-public-notice-for-some-land-use-applications","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6127607-7ad28254d60ec7ad59014206851afc10/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448474&Signature=H-HIILGZajt-xDs8FlSMgoiOelqs9FVqUChD9Q2G0H4rgvtHjZseodgyQ-75LGqoXPfmAMEVdY3E2qwmPzUqJ6QnZGo~B4Ufl5KmnLvPHV7tXbfDT4ZLdpDpRTcAVwKZ91dknQJdiYOV9wP6~62qJWEvdNrlr9Ui5wNwpzIVpsrKSN7q9ZULCO4an-74p4MiQJed4owIHymsSQwnuaLSnc1HFcEvSoG-ikYgALU1uwqKsVxjZaRyV2hjyAU9uel2Jj4QOoVxgmOyV3ImHNky5Wb77Z4Q57DFv38vtZAC5s3XxipsBKFtMinc6c9x0RRdB7HYPQnb34~ELCrY8PvKjw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Grants Pass City Council adopted an ordinance on second reading that amends Development Code Article 2 to add new public notice requirements for certain land-use applications.
