From: Timothy C. Hansley, City Manager
- Subject: Ordinance 112-96 Regarding a Change in the Fee For a Garage Sale Permit
Date: December 9, 1996
Initiated By: Marsha Grigsby, Director of Finance
Melody Kennedy, Financial Analyst
Ordinance 52-96, adopted by City Council on August 5, 1996 set forth the schedule of fees and
service charges for City of Dublin services and the percentage of cost recovery desired from each City
service. Ordinance 112-96 proposes a change in the fee for a garage sale permit.
During the Cost Study Workshops this past summer, the fee for a garage sale permit was discussed
at some length. Currently, the fee for a garage sale permit is $2, with a cost recovery of about 18%.
The Department of Finance recommended there be no change in the fee for 1997. The Division of
Planning made a case that, currently, garage sale signs do not conform with the City's Sign Code.
In order to comply, it was recommended that a permit be $5, and would include three (3) City
provided (temporary) signs (each sign has an actual materials cost of roughly $1.) The $5 fee was
adopted as part of Ordinance 52-96.
In order to promote community awareness of the change in the garage sale permit fee (effective
January 1, 1997), we have made public notice in a newspaper article in the Dublin News (September
- 4, 1996) and an article in the November/December issue of Inside Dublin. To-date, we have had a
positive response from City residents with regard to the City having garage sale signs available for
...... purchase. However, the City's Code Enforcement Officer has received some input from community
homeowners' associations requesting group rates due to the fact that they will not be needing three
signs with each permit. Currently, there is no provision in Ordinance 52-96 to deviate from the
adopted fee of$5, which includes the three signs. After consideration, the Code Enforcement Officer
also feels it would be more beneficial, from a code enforcement standpoint, to limit the amount of
garage sale signs displayed when possible.
To respond to this, we are recommending a change in the schedule offees for a garage sale permit
from $5 to $2 for each permit, plus $1 for each sign to a maximum of three (3) signs per permit (as
stipulated in the City's Sign Code.) By doing this, each permit holder has the option of purchasing
the amount of signs they feel they will be using.
Please feel free to contact the Department of Finance or the Division of Planning should you have any
questions or concerns with regard to this matter.
