WHAT:
Columbus City Councilmember Michelle M. Mills, chair of the Public Safety and Judiciary Committee, will hold a public hearing on proposed code changes regulating community markets and peddlers. The public meeting will provide a forum to explain and discuss the proposed legislation. The first piece of proposed legislation would create a new permit designed specifically for community markets that primarily sell handmade merchandise or farm products. The second would introduce updates to the existing peddler code regulating the sale of goods, merchandise, and wares in public spaces, changes that will increase public safety and security of residents and neighborhoods.
