WHEREAS,the Main Street Cultural District(MSCD)is again hosting its annual Summer
Sidewalk Sales from July 28 through July 30, 2016; and,

pedestrians to browse; and,
WHEREAS,to facilitate this event,organizers have requested a blanket Vending License for
July 28 through July 30, and that the $50 Vending License fee be waived; and,

parking will already be closed for a large portion of the Downtown area from 8 a.m.to 1:30 p.m.that
day; and,

the waiver of meter fees for the Sidewalk Sales to $962.10; and,

these events bring shoppers downtown,these requests further the City Council's goal to strengthen
the Downtown.
