AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH
BEND, INDIANA, AMENDING CHAPTER 4, ARTICLE 4, SECTION 4-60
OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND COMMONLY
KNOWN AS "TRANSIENT MERCHANTS" .
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The City of South Bend in conjunction woth the Chamber
of Commerce, passed Ordinance No. 8086-90 which amended the
rules and regulations addressing transient merchants within
the City.
Surrounding communities have passed similar legislation
in an attempt to set reasonable and enforceable regulations
of such activity.
During this Holiday Season however, it has been brought
to the City's attention that vendors who wish to sell
Christmas trees and wreaths for a limited period of time,
are currently required to pay the sum of one thousand
dollars ($1, 000. 00) if they desire to sell trees for more
than fourteen (14) total days. The City believes that the
current licensing fee amount creates an undue hardship, and
therefore believes that an amendment to the fee is in order.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, AS FOLLOWS:
Section I. Chapter 4 , Article 4, Section 4-60 (f) of the
Municipal Code of the City of South Bend, Indiana is hereby
amended to read as follows:
(f) License Fees
(1) The license fees for transient merchants shall be
as follows:
(i) Three hundred fifty dollars ($350.00) for proposed
business operations of three (3) consecutive days or
less.
(ii) Five hundred dollars ($500. 00) for proposed
business operations of more than treee (3) consecutive
days but less than fourteen (14) total days of
operation.
(iii) One thousand dollars ($1, 000. 00) for proposed
business operations of more than fourteen (14) total
days, but less than one (1) year of any licensing year.
(iv) Thirty dollars ($30. 00) for proposed business
operations during the months of November and/or
December, which only sell live and/or natural
Christmas trees and/or live and/or natural wreaths.
Section II. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect
from and after its passage by the Common Council, approval
by the Mayor, and legal publication.

Thomas Zakrzewski Re: Transient Merchants
President
Dear Council Members:
Loretta Duda
Vice-President At the last regular Common Council meeting, I voiced
concern with regard to what I believe is a cost
Sean Coleman prohibitive licensing fee amount which the City
Chairman. Committee currently charges businesses who wish to sell Christmas
of the Whole trees or Christmas wreaths during this Holiday Season.
The following Bill would amend the fee amount to a
Stephen Luecke total of fifteen dollars ($15. 00) for such business
First District operations. All other licensing requirements would
remain in full force and effect. It is my understanding
Donald Niezgodski that such amendments would be necessary since the City
Second District Administration has elected to issued licenses under
this Section as opposed to Sec. 4-38 in addressing open
William Soderberg air business.
Third District
Ann Puzzello I seek your favorably approval of this amendment.
Fourth District
Thank you.
