TO: Honorable Mayor & Members of the North Port Commission
FROM: Peter D. Lear, CPA, CGMA, City Manager
TITLE: Discussion and Possible Action Regarding Maker’s Market Ordinance and Fee
Recommended Action
Provide direction to staff regarding Maker’s Market Ordinance and Fee.
Background Information
At the October 19, 2020 Commission meeting, Vice Mayor Luke brought up the Maker’s Market permit application and associated fee. Since the State recently preempted local governments from requiring a permit for mobile food vendors, the thought is that it is unfair to require a license fee for the Maker’s Market permit. It was requested that this item be placed on a future agenda for discussion and possible action.
Strategic Plan
Support a vibrant and diversified economy to create local jobs and attract private investments.
Financial Impact
If removed, there would not be a reduction in $100 per Maker’s Market permit application processed.
