(Ord. 557 § 3, 2019)
The sponsor of a special event show must obtain a business license
for a special event show and regulatory permits for vendors participating
in the special event show pursuant to this chapter. No sponsor may
cause or permit a vendor to sell or offer to sell any goods, services,
wares or merchandise without first obtaining a permit for that vendor
at the special event show. It is the intent of this chapter to permit
special event shows and vendors through the sponsor of said shows.
(Ord. 557 § 3, 2019)
No permit for a vendor is required if a vendor has a valid business
license issued by the City. However, the intended sale of goods or
services at the special event show must be the same as described in
their current business license.
(Ord. 557 § 3, 2019)
The term of the permit is three consecutive calendar days beginning
with the first day of the show and continuing for the next two days.
A day is considered as the calendar date and not by the number of
hours.
(Ord. 557 § 3, 2019)
Within 10 calendar days after the closing of each special event
show, the sponsor must return to the issuing officer copies of the
special event show permits that were issued to each vendor. No refunds
are provided for any unissued permits.
