VENDING IN THE PUBLIC WAY, REGARDING VENDING FEES AND EVENT
LENGTH FOR SPECIAL EVENTS, DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND
AUTHORIZING THE CITY ATTORNEY TO CODIFY THE SAME.
WHEREAS, pursuant to Kalispell Municipal Code 15-12 the City of Kalispell requires vendors
to apply and pay for permits to vend in the public way; and
WHEREAS, the current definition of "special event" states the event may not exceed three days,
however, by failing to clarify that a special event shall not exceed three consecutive
days, the current definition allows for special events to span weeks or months under
one permit; and
WHEREAS, the fees for permits are reviewed from time to time by the City Council so that the
fees may be determined to be appropriate and fairly set; and
WHEREAS, the Kalispell City Council therefore finds that it is in the best interest of the city
and the participants in special events that the current fee schedule and consecutive
length of each special event be amended to fairly reflect the expense in relation to
the efforts of the city to accommodate the special event.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
KALISPELL AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City of Kalispell Municipal Code is hereby amended as set forth
in Exhibit "A", attached hereto and incorporated fully herein by this
reference.

Ordinance.
