and instructed the City Clerk to award the sites to vendor applicants through a lottery system; and
WHEREAS, the three vendor permits were subsequently awarded without benefit of any
subjective review of the applications, and the resulting vendor applications were not, for the most
part, representative of the type of activity the administration or the Council wished to promote in the
harbor area; and

during the 1997 season, and these requests were forwarded to the harbormaster for review and
comment as provided in Resolution No, 96-013; and

operate in the harbor plaza if any vending is to be allowed at all, and he specifically objected to the
tent-like structures used by 2 oflast year's vendors; and
WHEREAS, Ron Niebrugge (Hot Dog Express) and Cindy Ecklund (Cle Cafe), operated
the only mobile vending carts in the harbor plaza during the 1996 season; and
WHEREAS, it is the public interest to offer vending permits to these two vendors for the
1997 summer season; and
WHEREAS, it is in the public interest to suspend vending operations in the harbor plaza area
after the 1997 season until all planned harbor uplands renovations and expansions have been
completed and an assessment of the renovated area's suitability for such activity can be made;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
