Impact analysis
Recovers an estimated $25,000 a year currently lost under the waiver process.
Small vendors and event organizers who get a predictable, cheaper process; the city gets vendor data and some revenue.
One-time and pop-up vendors for whom even reduced fees and paperwork may be burdensome until a simplified application is adopted.
