My thanks to council member Jon Kimberling for his continued willingness
to open the city staff/council deliberations to the public.  I think his
commitment to communication with the public is helping bridge a real gap
that has been created between Moscow's citizens and their government.

My thanks to council member Jon Kimberling for his continued willingness
to open the city staff/council deliberations to the public.&nbsp; I think
his commitment to communication with the public is helping bridge a real
gap that has been created between Moscow's citizens and their government.

Thanks
to Barbara Richardson for her report on yesterdays Administrative Committee
meeting. Randy Fife was unable to attend. However, City Supervisor Gary
Riedner addressed the question about the origination of the ordinance right
off.&nbsp; He explained that the City was approached by the Executive Director
of the Chamber of Commerce Eldonna Gossett with complains from downtown
business owners who felt certain vendors were unfairly impacting their
businesses. As a current example of this, I have attached a photo I took
in downtown Moscow Saturday afternoon.&nbsp;As
far as the meeting was concerned, Mr. Riedner addressed virtually all the
questions that have come up on v2020. He explained, as I had speculated,
that this would have no impact on vendors on private property such as the
fish sales or Tuesday Market. We haven't begun talking about fees but I
personally don't view this as a situation where the city wants to turn
a profit.&nbsp;Per Mike
Curley's request, anyone who would like to have a copy of the correct ordinance
should contact Chris Bainbridge. Her email is <a href="mailto:cbainbridge@ci.moscow.id.us">cbainbridge@ci.moscow.id.us</a>
and phone is 883-7015.&nbsp;We
had some downtown business owners and vendors in attendance. There were
a number of good questions. We also identified other areas we need to research
further.&nbsp;With respect
to John Danahy's comment as follows:How
truly unfortunate this community is when such language can be brought forth
without rationale or justification.&nbsp;John-
perhaps you didn't see my post over the weekend wherein I said there was
a committee meeting Monday afternoon and that I would run down the balance
of the information you and others had requested. I'm trying to be as responsive
as I can. Sometimes a little patience goes a long way.Jon
