RE: Committee Minutes
The Public Property Committee met at the Capital Palace Restaurant
at noon, Thursday, 13 August 1992. Members present were Carolyn
Powers, Jack Grable and Jesse Smith. Also present were Pat Hower
and Larry Curles.
The Committee discussed the hawkers and vendors ordinance. The
Committee discussed its all encompassing aspect in regards to the
definition. Under the current ordinance, it appears that non-profit
groups such as the girl scouts and boy scouts would be included in
the definitions. Also the City policy of using master permits is
not referenced in the current ordinance.
The Committee reviewed the proposed revised ordinance as drafted by
the staff. The draft ordinance provided for the following:
1. Raised the daily fee to $la and the monthly fee to $top.
These fees were meant to reflect a cost of overhead
incurred by other businesses.
2. There would be no commercial activity within 25 feet of
any municipal building (structure), fountain or monument.
3. Sidewalks would have to have a 4 foot width remain
unencumbered at all times.
After discussion, the Committee agreed that the following should be
done to update the ordinance:
1. Raise the fee structure, as proposed.
2. Make the new fees effective with the passage of the
ordinance.
3. Define an area where commercial activities would not be
allowed, as proposed. Substitute the word structure for
building.
4. Not allow any commercial activity on City owned property
without specific approval of the Council.
The City Clerk will research the definitions.

RE: Hot Dog carts and the Observation Deck
A vendor wants to install a hot dog cart on or by the City
Observation Deck. Since this land is considered City property
instead of City right of way, he was told that the City Council had
to approve this use of the property.
Enclosed is the letter requesting permission.
Please note that the business would monopolize the observation
deck. The deck was constructed with Port and city funding to allow
better access for the public. A restaurant on top of the deck would
discourage most of the public from walking up to it. If the hot dog
stand was in front of the door, the Public Works crew may have
difficulty trying to enter the pump control room. When the pumps
fail, the crew must respond immediately since this station pumps
all municipal sewerage to the plant.
It is recommended that the marina observation deck area remain
open to the public and free from businesses.

The
following is the
information requested from
the June 12
committee
meeting.
Fur,
Fin & Feathers has paid rent of $361.59 in
the first six
months of 1992.
Penn
Feed generated sales tax of $6,722 in 1990
and $5,03,9c-in
1991.
/ The actual payment for 560 Bay Street will come out of the
V current expenses/general fund. I am proposing that we close the
local improvement guaranty fund to the general fund as is
authorized by RCW 35.54.085. The last LID Bonds were paid off in
1985 and the money has been accumulating. When the C.D. matures
in July there will be $91,940 in this fund to transfer. The
balance of the dollars needed (approximately $3,060) would come
from current expense.
