Rationale: The Vending Oversight Committee has never had an arts and crafts vendor as a member, either in a voting or non-voting position. Ms. Schwerin has been an arts and crafts vendor on the outer Capitol Square since 1998, so she will provide a fresh and important perspective to the committee. She is very familiar with the problems street vendors face and can provide insight into many of those issues, such as unlicensed vendors and loud music.
