her organization a permanent exemption from the hawkers and pedlars bylaw. Lumsden said her group was a local registered nonâ€" profit organization and not an outâ€"ofâ€"town, flyâ€"byâ€"night business operation that the bylaw had originally been set up to prevent. She also said her group paid full rent to the city for the farmâ€" house in Waterloo Park and also taught pottery to a number of people in the city at a very reasonable cost. City clerk Lew Ayers told council that the bylaw had been put in place in September, 1995 in order to license people doing busiâ€" ness in the city who did not pay business taxes.

"This is not a business to them, it‘s a hobby," she said. Although McKenty‘s initial motion to note and file the issue was defeated 5â€"4 by council, four other proposed compromises were also defeated. Council finally agreed to maintain the status quo and grant no exemptions. Coun. Bruce McKenty eventually asked for council to note and file Lumsden‘s, and later Griffin‘s, requests because less than half of both group‘s members lived in Waterloo and because artists retained up to 70 to 80 per cent of the sale price of items they sold during their shows. ' "I‘m sorry, that‘s a gallery rate," he said about Lumsden‘s group "It‘s a business." Lumsden said yes. And when Coun. Morty Taylor asked Lumsden how many of her group‘s 110â€"115 members came from Waterloo, Lumsden said only 35 members currently did. e ramtnnmmine n rosnnmentnm ! helped pay for it with money I earned from Waterloo Chronicle‘s Voluntary Pay Subscription program.
