Title
SUBSTITUTE Amending Secs. 9.13(6)(h)3.b.i and ii. of the Madison General Ordinances to modify the time of day by which an arts and crafts vendor must occupy a reserved site, and amending 9.13(6)(n)4.b. and 9.13(10)(g)2. of the Madison General Ordinances to revise the method of counting the years of seniority for Late Night and Southeast Campus street vendors.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This ordinance amendment clarifies the method of counting the number of years of seniority for Late Night vending licenses and Southeast Campus vending licenses. Both licenses currently use the “seniority system” to create a priority system for assignment of vending sites. This ordinance clarifies that consecutive years of licensing are counted for determining seniority; but the ordinance creates a “sabbatical” option so that a vendor may take one vending season “off” without losing seniority, and not more than two vending seasons off in a 3-year period without losing all seniority status. Instead, the year or years off will not be counted toward the vendor’s total number of years seniority. This change is being made for all types of street vending licenses that use the seniority system. This amendment also changes the time of day by which a Saturday-only Arts and Crafts vendor must occupy his or her reserved site from 8:00 a.m. to 7:30 a.m., and establishes that a daily Arts and Crafts vendor with an assigned site in the 400, 500, and 700 blocks of State Street must occupy his or her reserved site by 11:00 a.m. Failure to occupy the reserved site by the designated time means that another Arts and Crafts vendor may move into that vendor’s reserved site.
