81490.2 / <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Mark E. Bernhardson, City Adininistrato <br />DATS: August 22, 1990 <br />SOBJBCT: Transient Merchant <br />COUNCIL MEETING <br />AUG 27 1990 <br />CITY OF ORONO <br />Attachments; A. Transient Merchant Memo Dated 7/26/90 <br />ISSUE - <br />A. Presentation to Council of information regarding possible <br />other affected merchants. <br />B. Presentation to Council to determine whether they want to <br />adopt proposed or amended language relating the transient <br />merchants. <br />INTRODUCTION - At the Council's August 13, 1990 Council meeting <br />Council tabled consideration of this item based on a request by <br />the Penke's as to the possible impact of this change on other <br />merchants in the community.

This type of selling supplies and materials to <br />businesses does not intensify the use of that business, whereas a <br />business that retails to the general public does. <br />To date we have not received a list of such vendors from the <br />Penke's. <br />The ordinance has not applied to these persons and this can be <br />further clarified by inserting the words "to other than business <br />in the transient merchant definition. <br />As for churches and other non-profits conducting this on their own <br />premises they are not covered by the ordinance. <br />ALTERNATIVES - <br />1. Adopt language proposed at the August 13th meeting. <br />2. Amend and adopt with clarification regarding businesses. <br />3. Table. <br />4. Take no action. <br />RECOMMENDATION - It is recommended that the Council adopt the
