[Adopted 2-14-1994 by Ord. No. 245-94.3]
The Laconia City Council recognizes that the annual motorcycle
event draws large numbers of people to the City and that private property
owners rent space to itinerant vendors in order to provide to the
public the goods and services normally associated with such events.
The Council further recognizes that the additional numbers of persons
and their use of the vended goods and services generate additional
garbage and rubbish and necessitate the provision of temporary sanitation
services not normally required by the citizens of Laconia. The Council,
therefore, finds that it is necessary to levy and collect a reasonable
charge to defray the City's costs in collecting and disposing of additional
garbage and rubbish and in providing temporary sanitation services
within the City during the annual motorcycle week event and other
special events.
There is hereby established a sanitation fee unit, and this
unit shall have a value of $70. Each vendor shall have the obligation
to pay to the City of Laconia the value of one or more sanitation
fee units, for each and every location in which they locate, according
to the following schedule:
|

or demonstration not included in 1 of the above categories.
|
The foregoing charges shall be assessed to and paid by the vendor.
The charges shall be due and payable whether or not a vendor is or
is not for profit.
The City of Laconia shall have no responsibility for and shall
not be a party to any agreement between any vendor and a private property
owner.
Nothing in this article shall relieve any property owner or
any vendor from the general obligation to comply with other City ordinances
and such state or local health and safety laws as may apply.
