TO: City Council Licensing Committee

FROM: Cindi Wight, Director

CC: Gary Rogers, Recreation Division Director and Erin Moreau Waterfront Division Director

DATE: May 14, 2025

RE: Peddler’s License Exemption Request for BPRW Events in Parks


Action
Request to waive ordinance rule 23-6, requiring that vendors acquire a City of Burlington Peddler’s
License to vend at city-sponsored events and city-permitted events taking place in City of Burlington
parks from May 15 through December 31, 2025.

Reason for the request
 • Confusion over whether vendors must obtain a peddler’s license for events sponsored by the
 City of Burlington and taking place in Burlington parks has been ongoing, and BPRW has not
 requested proof of these licenses for events in parks in the past.
 • BPRW staff received authorization from the Parks Commission in March 2025 to allow vendors
 selected by department staff to vend at City-produced events in City parks in 2025.
 • The Waterfront Advisory Committee approved all 2025 Waterfront Park events
 • The application process for BPRW event vendors for the spring-autumn season is complete.
 Contracts have been issued and signed without a peddler’s license requirement included in the
 terms.
 • BPRW requires vendors to produce a Certificate of Insurance document that demonstrates the
 appropriate amount of insurance coverage and names the City of Burlington as additionally
 insured.
