[Ord. No. O-09-04]
(a)
A person who has been identified as a vendor by an applicant
or sponsor on the application for a permit to hold a community event
and who will participate as such must apply for and obtain from the
City a special vendor's permit to display, exhibit, distribute
and/or sell to the public any goods, wares, merchandise, products,
foods, beverages, crafts, materials, clothing or other such items.
Upon approval of said application, the Chamberlain shall issue a special
vendor's permit to the vendor who shall post same in a conspicuous
location at the booth or other station where the vendor has set up
his items for display, exhibition, distribution or sale. If the location
and nature of the community event does not provide a reasonable location
where the special vendor's permit can be conspicuously displayed,
the vendor shall produce said permit if requested by a law enforcement
officer or other official of the City.
(b)
The applicant for a special vendor's permit shall provide all of the same information and otherwise comply with all of the requirements as are necessary for hawkers, peddlers and transient vendors to obtain a permit under Chapter 10, Articles I and II, of the City Code of Ordinances. Regardless of whether a vendor holds a validly issued permit or license under said Chapter 10, he must nevertheless comply with the requirements of this chapter.
(c)
The special vendor's permit shall identify at a minimum
the name and address of the vendor, the name and location of the community
event, the type and nature of the product(s) to be displayed, exhibited,
distributed and/or sold, and the dates and/or hours that said permit
shall be valid.
(e)
Any person who violates any provision of this article shall
be fined not less than $100 nor more than $250 for each offense, and
a separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day or portion
thereof that a violation occurs or continues.
(f)
Notwithstanding the requirements of this article, a vendor who will participate in a community event may be exempt from the provisions of Subsection (b) if the City Administrator determines that an applicant or sponsor of said community event requires vendors to meet requirements that are at least equivalent as those set forth in this article, and provided such applicant or sponsor, prior to the issuance of the permit by the City Administrator, files proof with the Chamberlain that such vendors comply with all such requirements.
