§ 202.140. Rentals.  


Latest version.
  • (a) Upon recommendation of the city finance officer, the city council shall fix from year to year the length of the market season, the market fees and stall rentals, service charges, and any market concession rentals. When the market is operated under contract with an individual, corporation or association, the market season and market fees shall be fixed by the individual, corporation, or association subject to the approval of the city finance officer and review of the council from time to time. The market manager shall assess and collect such fees and rentals from all persons who occupy such stall spaces on the municipal market for selling purposes. In recommending stall rentals, the city finance officer may classify the stall spaces, both underneath and outside of market sheds, according to desirability of location and other factors affecting their value, and different charges may be made for such different classes of stalls. In order to better utilize the selling spaces on the market, the market manager may rent a single stall to two (2) or more persons under adequate rules and regulations, and in such case a fixed scale of reduced rentals may be made to apply. Each year the city finance officer shall create and maintain a file listing the classes of stalls on the municipal market and the stall numbers which make up such class, together with the rental charges for the stalls, service charges and concession rentals which have been fixed by the city council.

    (b)

    In assigning market stalls on a seasonal basis, the market manager may separate vendors into classes according to the kinds of products which they sell or the periods during which they come to the municipal market, or both, and assign certain market sheds or certain sections of such sheds to certain classes of vendors, in such a way that the best interests of the market will be served. Unless it is desirable to transfer a person from one (1) stall to another, in order to place the person with the proper class, a person who rents a stall one (1) year shall have the renewal of that stall for the next year provided the person has complied with the provisions of this chapter and the market rules a regulation.
