From the Desk of the City Administrator:
RE: Licenses Required for Business, Peddlers, Itinerant Merchants, Soliciting and Mobile Food Trucks
As a reminder, during the spring and summer when the weather is nice, business operations may solicit door to door or may also venture out into our community to promote their business. Although this is permissible in TITLE XI: BUSINESS REGULATIONS in the Code of Ordinances, there are requirements that need to be met to assure compliance and safety to our citizens. Please know it is your right to ask to see a copy of their City peddlers, business, or mobile food truck license. As always, be safe and aware out there.

The Mt. Washington Sports Park, Lindsey Duvall Park (old City Park), and Cornell Park will reopen walking paths, tennis/pickle ball courts, NFC Fitness Court, and the dog park on June 1, 2020, at daylight. Areas that will remain closed are basketball and volleyball courts, skate park, all playground areas, and pavilion rentals. These areas will remain closed due to the guidelines for groups of 10 people or fewer. One restroom will be open at the soccer building at the Sports Park and one restroom at Lindsey Duvall Park from 7:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
All social distancing guidelines (6 feet) must be followed with groups of 10 people or fewer in all areas of the parks. Masks should be worn when unable to social distance and if you do not feel well, do not visit the park facilities.

BBB Alert: Beware of COVID-19 Scams
Testing kits. Whether it’s someone going door-to-door offering a COVID-19 testing kit or someone selling them online, don’t fall for this con. Currently, real testing kits cannot be purchased or performed at home.
Miracle cures, vaccines, or supplements. When you see an advertisement promoting a miracle cure, vaccine, or supplement to help you fight the coronavirus, just ignore it. False claims like this should be reported to BBB at bbb.org/adtruth.
Mask sales. While many people are on the hunt for medical-grade masks, scammers are posting fake websites. While the site may look legitimate, consumers are purchasing masks only to never receive the product or have their financial information compromised. Always check with BBB at bbb.org before making any online purchase.
Government checks. If you receive a phone call from a “government representative” saying they need your social security number, banking account number, or other personal information in order to give your relief check, hang up! Anytime funds like this are distributed, the government will NEVER call and ask for personal information.
Errand assistance. Be wary of strangers who offer to run errands for you. While there are legitimate groups who are offering assistance to those that are in need, there are scammers who are looking to take your prescription medications or your money. Do your research and check references first.
Free gift cards. Some businesses are providing discounts during this time, but if you see an offer for a free gift card, proceed with caution. These offers are often “too good to be true” and lead you to a phishing site that asks for personal information. Always contact the company directly to see if any promotion is real.
Charity and giving. If you are looking to donate, make sure you are donating to legitimate charities. You can verify the trustworthiness of a charity by visiting give.org for free reports to see if the charity meets BBB’s Standards for Charity Accountability. If you are giving to a crowdfunding cause, it’s best to give to someone you personally know and to be wary of vague requests.
Tracking apps. With COVID-19 spreading rapidly, you may want to know if the virus has spread to your area. While there are legitimate coronavirus “map apps” available, there are also ones that download malware and spyware onto your phone instead.
