Every applicant for a license under this chapter as a
peddler, solicitor or transient merchant who does not own
real or personal property located within the city used
primarily for the business for which license application
is made and which property is not on the tax rolls of the
city or subject to such taxation, or who is an agent or
representative of a person who does not own property
located within the city used primarily for the business
for which license application is made and which property
is not on the tax rolls of the city or subject to such
taxation, shall pay a license fee of fifty dollars per
year. It is further provided that any such applicant who
chooses not to obtain a full year's license may pay at a
daily rate of fifteen dollars plus providing a one
thousand dollar bond or cash deposit insuring full
compliance with all regulations relative to such peddling
operations.
Sec. 5.40.030 License Required.
Each peddler, solicitor or transient merchant must
secure a personal license. No license shall be used at
any time by any person other than the one to whom it is
isssued. Food vendors must have necessary health permits
before issuance of a peddlers permit. Licenses must be
applied for at least five working days prior to the
event. Failure to comply with licensing requirements
will result in citation and impoundment of wares. Viola-
tion by licensed peddlers will result, in addition to
citation and impoundment, in cancellation of the license
and, where applicable, in forfeit of bond.

No stands shall be permitted on the public sidewalks
along any parade route for the sale of food or nonfood

frightening parade horses or other participating domestic
or wild animals, no horn devices or other loud noise-
makers may be sold, given away or used in the vicinity of
the parade route during the hours of any parade,
including assembly and disbanding periods. Other than
