BOARD OF SELECTMEN Page 5 MINUTES • MONDAY, MARCH 23 , 1992 Flea Market/Bazaar Guidelines : Under the guidelines , the Police, Fire, Health Department and Building are to conduct inspections at various intervals. We are looking to tighten the system relates Mr. Harrington. The proposed annual fee for each vendor is $100.00, but it is up to the Board to determine the rate . For the one time vendor or weekend vendor, the fee of $100 .00 is too high suggests Selectman Mills . Louis Marandola; manager and operator of the Flea Market indicated there are approximately 50-75 professional vendors who have tax identification numbers. More local people are selling at the Flea Market due to the lack of jobs and unemployment . He indicates he does not charge non-profit organizations a fee. Non-residents are charged a fee of $10.00 per day in April . The rate increases to $15.00 per day in May. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, the rate is $25 .00 per day relates Mr. Marandola . Residents are charged half the rate of non-residents . The amount of vendors are dependent upon the weekend and the weather informs Mr. Marandola . Safety has not been a problem. The Flea Market brings a lot of people into the community and gives an overflow effect to Mashpee Commons. The suggestion was made to surcharge the daily vendors.
