Report No.: CRPS-06-041
Subject: REQUEST FOR OUTDOOR FOOD AND MERCHANDISE
VENDORS - DOON HERITAGE CROSSROADS -MAY 27,
2006
RECOMMENDATION:
That the request of Doon Heritage Crossroads to invite three food vendors and approximately 5
merchandise vendors to operate at the Emergency Services Muster, Games and Parade on
May 27, 2006, at 10 Huron Road, be approved, providing the necessary licence, including
Health and Fire approvals, are obtained; and further;
That the reduced fee of $37.40 be applicable.
BACKGROUND:
Chapter 549 of the City of Kitchener Municipal Code states that a Temporary Retail Market
Licence is required for a show with 5 or more vendors selling their own goods or services. The
licence fee is $374.00. Chapter 501 (Business Licensing Fees) in Section 501.2.4 states that
where an application is made for a licence by a recognized, registered bona fide charitable
organization, the fee to be paid shall be 10% of the fee that would otherwise be payable. In
cases of doubt as to the application of this section, the Manager of Licensing shall refer the
application to Council for a decision. In regards to this request, the "charitable" provision does
not apply, as each merchandise vendor will keep the proceeds from any sales they make.
Chapter 586 (Refreshment Vehicles) requires that no licence be issued for the sale of food on
public property until Council's permission is obtained.
Council has approved this event for the past several years.
REPORT:
Attached is a letter from Wendy Connell, Supervisor of Programs, Doon Heritage Crossroads,
requesting permission for 3 food vendors and approximately 5 merchandise vendors to operate
on May 27, 2006 during the Emergency Services Muster, Games and Parade at Doon Heritage
Crossroads.
Ms. Connell has advised that the proceeds from the sale of the food will be donated to the
various programs that the Muster is supporting this year. The proceeds from the sale of the
merchandise, emergency services memorabilia, will be kept by each of the vendors.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Reduction in revenue of $336.60.
