REQUEST FOR OUTDOOR FOOD AND MERCHANDISE
VENDORS-DOON HERITAGE CROSSROADS-MAY28, 2005
RECOMMENDATION:
The Committee's direction is requested.
BACKGROUND:
By-law 2004-241 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 $366.00. By-law 2004-262
(Business Licensing Fees) 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.
By-law 2004-258 (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 28, 2005 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.
Should the Committeel decide to approve this request, the following resolution is suggested:
"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 28, 2005, at 10 Huron Road, be approved, providing the
necessary licence, including Health and Fire approval, is obtained; and further,
That the reduced fee of $36.60 be applicable."
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Reduction in revenue of $329.40.
