MEMO
Date: December 11, 2024
To: License Committee
From: Cindi Wight, Director, Department of Parks, Recreation & Waterfront
Re: License agreement with Battery Park, LLC (DBA Beansie’s Bus)

I. Purpose
 The Department of Parks, Recreation and Waterfront (BPRW) seeks approval and recommendation
 to the City Council that it grant a license to Beansie’s Bus for continued use of the concession area
 they have been using for decades next to Battery Park, and authorize the Mayor to enter into a
 license agreement memorializing the terms and conditions of use.

II. Background
 Beansie’s Bus recently celebrated their 80th anniversary with the ownership currently with Tammy
 Carron. The City has had no issues with the current owner and supports the license request. The
 most recent agreement with the Carron’s was done under a different city agreement. The attorney’s
 office determined that it was most appropriate to use the license agreement process for Beansie’s
 Bus as the location is a long-term occupation of City owned property and involves a vehicle
 occupying the Right of Way.

 Beansie’s Bus will pay the Clerk/Treasurer’s office the annual peddlers’ license fee in one lump sum
 of $500 to cover the five years of the agreement. In addition, they remit 5% of gross revenue
 monthly to Burlington Parks, Recreation and Waterfront, which we would accept in replacement to
 the vehicle license endorsement fee. In 2024, the department received $4,502.


DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION


City Council License Committee Motion:

To approve and recommend that the City Council approve and authorize the granting of a license to
Battery Park, LLC (DBA Beansie’s Bus) to occupy space in the Sherman Street extension from April 1,
2025 – December 31, 2029 for the purpose of carrying on food concession operations; and, to further
authorize the Mayor to execute a license agreement with Battery Park, LLC (DBA Beansie’s Bus) and all
documents necessary to effect the license, subject to the final review and approval of the City Attorney’s
Office.
