Council backs off on limiting street vendorsÂ
ELLSWORTH â Council members approved amendments to three city ordinances and tabled changes to street vendor permit rules at their Dec. 21 meeting.
The changes proposed to the License and Permits Ordinance would raise the permit fee for street vendors selling food and other merchandise on public property from a $10 flat fee to $110 for 30 consecutive or non-consecutive days, but the discussion raised concerns among councilors.
âThat could cover Girl Scout cookie [sales],â Councilor Michelle Kaplan said, along with door-to-door sales. âWhat about the Snap-on Tool guy? The Schwanâs [Home Delivery] guy?â
And Chairman Dale Hamilton pointed out, âThis doesnât distinguish between when someone sold for one Saturday versus the entire summer. One day is less impactful than somebody whoâs going to do it every single weekday.â
