Title
Creating Section 8.125 and amending Section 1.08(3)(a) of the Madison General Ordinances to establish a library facility catering permit.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This ordinance creates a library facility catering permit system. This permit system is in addition to the existing catering services authorized through the Request for Proposals (RFP) process. This will make City library facilities more inclusive and equitable by providing greater catering options for the City’s customers. This ordinance will allow catering opportunities at library facilities by minority-owned caterers who otherwise are unable to offer those services under existing practice, and is therefore in line with the City’s equity goals. The library will charge a permit fee to recover the City’s administrative costs of overseeing the catering program.
