closed session, is entirely up to the employee, subject to a vote of the Council.

City Administrator Carlyle stated that Council Member Bailey asked him to draft proposed Ordinance No. 05-220, an Ordinance amending the Code of Ordinances of the City of Bondurant, Iowa, 2002, with respect to Home Occupations and asked her to address it. Council Member Bailey informed the Mayor and Council that there is a resident in the City that has frequent garage sales. Articles are placed on his lawn for weeks at a time with signs on the items stating the price. She said it is more like a flea market that he is running out of his garage, it is an eyesore and she has received numerous complaints about it. City Administrator Carlyle said this proposed Ordinance would allow this particular event to occur no more than three times per year, with a maximum of three days per event. Council Member Kromrie said that this would take a lot of time to “police” trying to keep track of how many times a year the garage sales take place. Council Member Bailey is questioning whether or not he is running a business out of his residence. Council Member Cordes agreed with Council Member Kromrie, adding maybe a permit would be effective in this particular situation, but still hard to control. City Attorney Brick stated that other communities that restrict this type of activity have enforcement problems also and anytime you pass an Ordinance targeting an individual, there are questions about the ability to do that. Mayor Ihde instructed City Administrator Carlyle to contact the resident and inquire to the status of the activity at said property. No action taken.
Mayor Ihde opened a discussion concerning a Proposed
Ordinance amending the Code of Ordinances of the City of Bondurant, Iowa, 2002,
with respect to prohibiting sex offenders from residing within two thousand
feet of various public facilities. Mayor
Ihde stated the existing map that was provided to Council by Polk County,
illustrates what the State of Iowa passed in 2002, showing the 2000 feet space
around the school and licensed daycare facilities. Council Member Kromrie said when talking with
residents in other communities, they would like to include the whole city and
asked how we could include all of our residential areas. Council Member Bailey stated that the map
