After discovering some micro businesses have been long operating on City property without the required contracts, the Council has asked the City Attorney to come up with a simplified document (vice the complex, 20+ page attorney contracts used for cable, phone and other such corporations).
City Attorney Wynne: " Any time city property is used for a private purpose there must be a contract."
Micro businesses operating on city property that may be affected would include: soft drink machines; kayak rentals; coin-op pier binoculars; proposed duck pond feeders; horse and buggy rides, etc.
City sponsored events such as the farmers market and art festivals, and businesses already having leases (i.e. Yardarm Restaurant on Pier) would not be included--according to Wynne.
Some Council members--citing the added "ambiance" and citizen services-- expressed their desire to keep any application fees to a minimum.
"Our goal is to obey the (state) law," surmised Wynne.
