Changes to Transient Merchant Regulations
On March 24, 2008, the Des Moines City Council approved a change to the current transient merchant (mobile vendor) regulations. Beginning April 7, 2008, all transient merchants, regardless of the length of their lease to operate from a specific property, will be required to apply for and obtain a transient merchant license before conducting sales within Des Moines. Please call the City Clerk’s Office at 515-283-4209 if you have questions about this change.
The City Council has asked the City Manager to hold a public meeting to solicit public comment regarding additional proposed changes to the transient merchant regulations.
This meeting is scheduled for:
Wednesday, April, 2, 2008
6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Central Library - Meeting Rooms 1 & 2
1000 Grand Avenue
During the meeting, City staff will provide information about current and proposed transient merchant regulations. The public is invited and encouraged to share opinions and suggestions about the regulations. A working group of interested stakeholders, which the City Manager has formed to explore mobile vending issues in Des Moines and submit ideas and suggestions to his office, will attend the meeting in order to listen to the public’s remarks.
Residents who cannot attend the public meeting may submit comments and suggestions via telephone at (515) 283-4500 or via email at citymanager@dmgov.org by Thursday, April 3.
Additional information about the proposed changes to the City’s transient merchant ordinance can be found at www.dmgov.org.
