Exceptions may be made as set forth in subsections (2) through (4) of this section. Costs shall be based on the following existing fees:

(2) Special Events. A license to conduct transient business under this chapter for a one-time special event may be prorated based upon the number of days the business will be conducted.

(3) Nonprofit. Any organization, society, association, corporation or person desiring to sell, solicit or peddle from vehicles or temporary or movable stands or containers as herein provided for charitable, religious, educational or philanthropic purposes may receive a license therefor by complying with all of the provisions of this section, except that no business license fee shall be charged. The recipient of such license shall, at the request of the city recorder, file a financial statement showing a breakdown of all receipts and disbursements from sales made as a result of such registration and license within 30 days from the end of the license period.

Applicants for a license may file a request with the city council for the waiver or reduction of license fees together with information to establish that the applicant qualifies for such waiver or reduction as provided in this paragraph. The city council may authorize a waiver or reduction of license fees for any activity, festival, or other event which is determined by the council to promote or advertise the city of North Bend or the community of which such city is a part and is found to be in the public interest. In authorizing such waiver or reduction of fees, the council may impose conditions and limitations consistent with the purposes of this chapter and the protection of the public. (Ord. 2053 § 2, 2021)
