How many watermelon or ears of corn must one sell to cover the City of Scott City’s vendor fee? City council members are in general agreement the answer is “too many,” which is why they are looking at the prospect of waiving that fee for individuals selling farm and garden produce. Police Chief David Post expressed concern during Tuesday’s council meeting that the current vendor fee seems excessive.” Those who sell produce are currently required to pay a $25 fee, plus $50 for a background check. He agreed that vendor permits should be required in certain situations, but said, “Since this is an agricultural community, maybe we should exempt agricultural products.”
