§ 330-18. Vending from meter locations prohibited; exceptions., Article II. Vendors and Vending Units, Chapter 330. Peddling and Soliciting, Part II. General Legislation, Code of Ordinances, North Wildwood

Exception. The following meter locations may be reserved through the issuance of a permit from the City by filing an application therefor in the office of the City Clerk. These permits shall run from May 1 through April 30 of the following year. Those vendors who, by custom, have used any of these locations on a permanent basis during the summer of 2014 shall have the right annually to renew said locations, at an annual charge of $950. A notice of meter location renewal shall be submitted to the City Clerk by February 1 of each year expressing desire to renew the meter location permit for the upcoming one-year term beginning on May 1. Once a meter location is not renewed for the upcoming one-year term, it may become available and awarded to the highest bidder through a public bid process authorized by resolution of City Council open to any person holding a valid license issued pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Title 45 of the Revised Statues of the State of New Jersey (N.J.S.A. 45:24-9 et seq). The winning bidder shall register with the City Clerk in accordance with the procedures that are set forth in § 330-11 et seq. The duration of the public bid award shall be determined by Mayor and Council prior to the public bid process and in accordance with applicable law. Permits, whether annually renewed or awarded by public bid, shall not be transferable or assignable.

	METER LOCATIONS
	Meter Number	Location
	134	In the 700 Block of Kennedy Drive
	96	In the 1100 Block of Kennedy Drive

All of the default meter locations described above are situated in close proximity to a portion of the North Wildwood Beach that was subject to heavy use by the public during summer seasons when the meter locations were designated as default locations. Due to the continually changing size and configuration of the beach, Council recognizes that the beach near any given meter location may be subject to significant size changes between the end of one summer season and the beginning of the next summer season, and that such changes may have a deleterious effect on the economic viability of the affected meter location. Therefore, nothing in this section shall be deemed as prohibiting Council from changing a meter location for one summer season by way of adoption of a resolution. Such resolution only shall be considered by Council upon written application made prior to May 10 to the City Clerk by a vendor holding a permit to vend from a default meter location for any given year. In reassigning a meter location for one summer season, Council shall endeavor to maintain the spacing that exists between the default meter locations. No meter location reassignment request received by the City Clerk after May 10 shall be considered by Council. At the end of the summer season in which a meter location has been reassigned, the meter location for that vendor shall revert to the original default location for the following summer season, but the vendor shall not be prohibited from making a subsequent reassignment request for the following summer season.

Editor’s Note: This ordinance also redesignated former Subsection B as Subsection C.

Vending from any of the meter locations that are set forth in Subsection A above only shall be by way of utilization of "vending units," as defined in § 330-9, and no other method of vending from those locations shall be permitted.
