Kennett City Council waives $5 yard-sale permit fee for 100-mile sale, approves annual waiver
Summary
Council members voted to waive the $5 yard-sale permit fee for the 100-mile yard sale (May 22–25) and amended the motion to make the waiver an annual allowance; the vote passed by voice vote.
The Kennett City Council voted to waive the $5 yard-sale permit fee for the 100-mile yard sale scheduled May 22–25 and amended the motion to make the annual waiver automatic.
A council member moved to waive the $5 fee for the small special-event yard sale, and another council member seconded the motion; council members then amended the motion so the waiver would apply each year the event occurs. The permit covers May 22 through May 25 for this year’s 100-mile yard sale.
Council members said the permit exists to prevent a resident from operating a de facto commercial operation at a private address by holding repeated sales. After brief discussion, the council approved the amendment and then took a voice vote; the mayor/chair called for “all in favor,” members responded “aye,” and the chair said the motion passed.
The council did not record individual roll-call votes in the transcript and did not attach conditions or fees beyond the waiver discussed.
