The Board of Licenses for Street Vendors
Composition:
The Board comprises the following 9 members:
(1) 4 members appointed by the Mayor
(2) 2 members appointed by the President of the City Council; and
(3) the following or their respective designees:
- (i) the Director of the Community Relations Commission
- (ii) the Director of Finance
- (iii) the Commissioner of Housing and Community Development
(i) is Alvin O. Gillard
(ii) I'm taking to be Edward J. Gallagher, Jr.
(iii) I'm taking this to be Paul T. Graziano
No idea about who the other six members but I'll find out. But it looks like this board needs a public component.
UPDATE (5/18/2011, 5:32 p.m.):
Here are the members of the Street Vendors Board, per Alvin O. Gillard
Bob Dengler - Downtown Partnership
Janice Simmons - Dept. of Finance
Eric Booker - Housing and Community Development
Linda Frangioni - citizen
William Bishop-el - citizen
Alvin O. Gillard - Office of Civil Rights and Wage Enforcement
It's unclear if Dengler, Frangioni and Bishop-el are the Mayor's appointees or the City Council President's. Also unclear whether the Board will be up to its full 9-member complement by the time of the June board meeting.
Comments
These people need a dose of reality and priorities. Instead of embracing this as a positive draw for the downtown area and working with the vendors and anyone with issues, they are just going to prohibit it? That is just plain lazy on their part. Do your jobs, people!
Thanks for digging in to this so we can know who to "thank", RG!
