Washington’s City Council, during its meeting Monday, will consider authorizing the city’s parks and recreation manager to sign waterfront two vendor contracts.

The authorization would allow Michael Weeks (Loreta’s Frozen Yogurt/Loreta’s Frozen Desserts) and Michael Senn (Senn Farms Catering) to operate as food vendors at specified locations along Stewart Parkway. The consideration comes two weeks after the council approved the contract that will be used to govern the sale of food and beverages on Stewart Parkway and amended the City Code to allow peddling on the waterfront.

Although the contract template is for a full year, the authorization, if approved, would allow the parks and recreation manager to negotiate terms for the contracts for the remainder of this year. For 2016, the manager would solicit and accept bids for waterfront vendors.

Weeks plans to sell frozen dessert items that include, but are not limited to, frozen yogurt, ice cream, gelato, non-alcoholic beverages and frozen treats for dogs at the intersection of Respess Street and Stewart Parkway.

“We would endeavor to be available Weekends which may include but is not limited to mornings, late afternoons and evenings during daylight hours. We are hopeful our waterfront visitors and traffic opportunities exist to allow expansion across weekdays and other times as is reasonable,” reads the bid information sheet submitted by Weeks.

The proposed license fee for Weeks would be $1,800 for a year, according to the bid information sheet. Weeks wrote that he anticipates start-up of his food-cart service within 15 to 30 days, if not sooner, of city approval.

Senn, according to his bid information sheet, plans to begin his food-cart service Sept. 1. His proposed license fee is $1,800 a year. He plans to sell hot dogs, chips and non-alcoholic beverages near the dockmaster’s station at the west end of Stewart Parkway.

The contract requires food and beverage vendors to refrain from driving on sidewalks or other non-vehicular areas when delivering or removing the vendor’s cart or other equipment. Vendors also must sell items only in the areas assigned to them. Vendors are required to keep their areas clean and dispose of any and all trash and refuse produced by operation of their carts. Vendors also will be required to pay a monthly licensing fee. Vendors may not sell items to people in parked vehicles.

The council meets at 5:30 p.m. Monday in the Council Chambers in the Municipal Building, 102 E.
