NOTICE OF REVIEW OF ARTICLE 4.03 OF THE CITY'S CODE OF ORDINANCES
PERTAINING TO VENDOR PERMITS
The City of San Benito is in the process of reviewing all the sections of Article 4.03 of the City’s Code of Ordinances. The City has been receiving complaints that certain non-profit groups are attaining vendor permits that are negatively impacting the established businesses that are located within the city limits. It has been determined that certain non-profits and other type of groups and individuals are attaining vendor permits from the City and are abusing the system. Non-profit organizations and for-profit businesses are also regulated by the State Comptroller’s Office and the federal Internal Revenue Service. The review and proposed changes that will be forthcoming are to allow the issuance of vendor permits within the parameters that they are not abused and in compliance with local city ordinances, state statues, and federal law.
The City of San Benito welcomes any comments or proposed changes to Article 4.03. The preference in receiving comments is via email to the city manager at mdelarosa@cityofsanbenito.com
