#1. RE: An ordinance amending Subsection 20-17-33(e)(2)(5) and deleting Subsection 20-17-13(g) of the Revised Ordinances of Salt Lake City, Utah, 1965, relating to solicitation, peddling, temporary merchants, etc.
Cheryl Cook, City Treasurer, said that the amendment addresses the section of the ordinance dealing with temporary merchants. In the current ordinance there is confusion about the definition of nonprofit. She explained that recently there was a gun show held by a nonprofit organization but sales were being made to the public by some of the people showing exhibits. The business license fee was waived because the organization felt that they were nonprofit but the city felt that the sponsoring license and booth fees needed to be paid.
Ms. Cook said that the City Attorney’s Office has indicated that the words religious or charitable organization could be used in place of nonprofit. The original intent of the ordinance was to exempt religious or charitable organizations. Councilmember Mabey felt that the religious or charitable organizations needed to be well established and this should be included in the ordinance. Councilmember Shearer felt that a definition of religious and charitable should be included in the ordinance.
Councilmember Mabey moved and Councilmember Shearer seconded to refer the ordinance amendment relating to solicitation, peddling, temporary merchants, etc., to unfinished council business for February 14, 1984, which motion carried, all members present voting aye.

OFFICE OF THE MAYOR
#1. RE: A resolution authorizing a transfer of $128,847 from the general fund contingency of the 1983-84 budget to cover costs in the Public Works Department resulting from the ice removal program.
Albert Haines, Chief Administrative Officer, said that the request from the Public Works Director has been reviewed from a budgetary perspective and he feels that the Director can satisfy the additional costs. Another request may be made in the future depending on the weather but assuming that a normal continued weather pattern is maintained there should be no problem. Mr. Haines distributed copies of a report indicating the status of general fund contingency (a copy of this is on file in the Office of the City Recorder). He said that the contingency fund is for these kinds of requests and any surplus in the account at the end of the fiscal year is put into fund balance.
Councilmember Mabey moved and Councilmember Fonnesheck seconded to adopt Resolution 17 of 1984 approving the transfer of 128,847 from the general fund contingency to the Public Works Department to pay for program work completed on the emergency ice removal program, which motion carried, all members present voting aye.
