Former vice mayor asks commission to clarify bounce-house inspection rules and fees
Summary
Former Vice Mayor Mark Spence urged the commission to clarify inspection requirements and fees for bounce houses used by churches and community events, saying he does not believe electrical or building inspections should be required and objecting to fees of $500–$700.
Former Vice Mayor Mark Spence addressed the commission during public petitions to request clearer rules and lower fees for bounce houses used at community and church events.
Spence said he provided information to staff and that inspections had been discussed in staff materials; he told the commission, "I do not believe that bounce houses require electrical and building inspections," and objected to what he described as fees of "$500 to $700," asking the commission to "come to a resolution that we can know what the real cost is and how we resolve this." The clerk confirmed there were no other public petitions. The commission acknowledged the request; no formal motion or directive to staff on the subject was recorded during the meeting, leaving the petitioner's concerns awaiting administrative clarification or a future agenda item.
