A. Upon approval of an application, the City Manager shall issue a vending permit to the vendor and an identification (ID) card to the vendor and each employee. The maximum number of permits that may be issued and in effect at any time shall be 350.

B. Annual vending permits expire annually at midnight on December 31st of each year. Half-year permits shall expire at midnight on either June 30th or December 31st of each year, depending on the period for which the permit was issued.

C. A vendor who has not committed any violations of this chapter during the preceding calendar year may renew their permit by submitting the required form no later than November 1st, for full and first half year permits. The second half-year permits must be renewed no later than May 1st of each year. Permits that are not renewed prior to their expiration date shall be invalid, and vending with such a permit is a violation of this chapter. A vendor who has committed a violation of this chapter may be denied renewal by the City Manager, but shall be placed at the end of the waiting list, if any. If there is no waiting list, such vendor shall not be allowed to renew for one year.

D. No person may hold or be issued more than one vending permit.

E. Vending permits issued pursuant to this chapter are nontransferable. Any attempt to transfer a permit shall render it immediately invalid.

F. Every individual engaged in arts and crafts vending and flower vending shall obtain an ID card and have an unexpired ID card in their possession at all times while they are vending. The term of the ID card shall correspond with the term of the applicable vending permit. No person may hold more than one ID card or be an employee of more than one permitted vendor at any given time.

G. Approval of a vending permit under this chapter does not exempt the permittee from Chapter 9.04, and permittees are required to pay the business license tax imposed by Chapter 9.04. (Ord. 6903-NS § 1 (part), 2006)
