APTIVE ENVIRONMENTAL REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF SOLICITORS <br /> Rief reported in May Staff had administratively approved the City's solicitor licenses for a group of <br /> applicants outlined in Staff memo for pest control services. Aptive Environmental has requested an <br /> extension. Staff is not allowed to administratively approve an extension. Solicitors are only allowed 10 <br /> days per calendar year. The City did receive one complaint about this solicitor from a resident. The <br /> contact happened outside of their allotted time frame, which should be taken into consideration when <br /> discussing whether an extension should be given. <br /> Johnson indicated he is not in favor of an extension. Johnson noted there might be a typo because it says <br /> the permit date was May of 2018. <br /> Rief stated that was a typo. <br /> Johnson noted there was a complaint received in June or July. <br /> Rief stated they also approached a house that had a no solicitor sign. <br /> Johnson moved, Crosby seconded, to deny an extension of the Solicitor's License for Aptive <br /> Environmental. VOTE: Ayes 4,Nays 0. <br /> CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT,Continued <br /> Rief stated National Night Out was a good success and that there were a number of nice parties going on <br /> throughout Orono. <br /> Rief stated earlier that same day he spent some time with Channel 5 on Big Island.
