IV. Presentations and Discussion
A. 2013 Daystall Rules Review - Draft of Proposed Rule Changes
2nd version, 2/28/2013 updated changes highlighted in yellow

1 General
Addresses conflicting rules re. suspension for
nonpayment
PDA Staff
Staff supports their own proposal.

2 Farm, Craft & Buskers
Addresses smoking in the market
David Contreras,
Craftsperson
Staff does not support this proposal. Existing restrictions on smoking in the rules are adequate and enforceable.
Prop # Pertains to Topic Author
3 Farm & Craft
Addresses daystall display standards
Haley Land,
Craftsperson
Staff does not support passage of this proposal. While Staff commends the spirit of the proposal and the efforts of its author, there is concern about the slippery slope of addressing such specific details in the rules. This proposal has generated much discussion, in the form of written comment and community meeting input, on both sides of the issues at hand. The Market Master’s interest is in finding fair happy medium approaches to display issues that can be consistently enforced. As an alternate approach, staff proposes posting a current list of discretionary calls relating to general and recurring display issues. Staff has been working with the community on some of the most contentious emergent issues and feel able to enforce specifics as they are determined. 2/28/2013 UPDATE: The following lines will be added to the section of rules relating to
Market Programs 03.14.13 Page 8
displays: “The Market Master will post a list of specific guidelines for commonly recurring, general display issues. Permit Holders may submit written requests for revisions of these guidelines for review by the Market Master.” The Market Master will compile this list and present in a Daystall community meeting in Spring of 2013.
Prop # Pertains to Topic Author
4 Farm & Craft
Addresses display visibility issues
PDA Staff
Staff supports addition of wording to existing section referencing posting of general display discretionary calls as discussed in Prop #3 above. Such an approach would be more responsive to the unique environment of the Market Daystalls, with its variety of table configurations and its broad diversity of products needing display.

Addresses 2 farm booths sharing an agent

10 Farm
Addresses production of value added farm products
PDA Staff
Staff supports their own proposal. 2/28/2013 Update: In response to community written comment and concerns, staff add the following wording to the rule change for clarification:
Co‐packing of value added food products allowed with prior approval from the Market Master. In all case where co‐packing is allowed famers must supply all ingredients, use their own recipe and be onsite and actively involved in production.

Prop # Pertains to Topic Author
11 Buskers
Proposes creation of new performer spot
Brian Masters,
Busker
Staff does not support this proposal, and feel that staff Proposal #21 addresses the issue.
The existing Saturday restrictions on the Desimone Bridge busker spot have been a source of contention between members of the busker community and members of the Daystall craft and farm community for years. Much discussion has ensued in recent years’ Rule Reviews, with verbal and written public comment on both sides of the issue. In general, the table vendors feel Saturday is the most significant sales day and Saturday busking would adversely affect sales, while buskers feel that Saturday is a significant day for them to
Market Programs 03.14.13 Page 11
perform and opportunities to perform are in high demand. Staff propose allowing performance at the Bridge spot facing East (or “out”), and are exploring the option of providing awning cover at the entrance of the Bridge for people entering the Bridge and for performers using this spot. 2/28/2013 UPDATE: Staff received public comment from buskers opposing this proposal. The primary concern was that facing East from Desimone Bridge on Saturday would disrupt the busker location across the street. Staff withdraw this proposal and leave the current rules pertaining to the Desimone Bridge spot in place. Staff commit to seeking new locations for performance spots to increase options on busy Saturdays.

14 Buskers
Addresses Sunday performance start time
Brian Masters,
Busker
Staff supports this proposal.
Prop # Pertains to Topic Author
15 Buskers
Proposes screening for buskers
Sarah Goldenberg,
Craftsperson Staff does not support this proposal. The permitting of performance is different than the permitting of vendors, and should not be compared. Vending is strictly limited to 2 kinds of permits (Farm and Craft) with longstanding qualitative guidelines about who makes the products and how the products are made. The permitting of performance is intended to provide minimal regulatory guidelines to provide basic management of where performance can take place, of impact on foot traffic flow and access to merchants, and of noise impact on neighboring merchants.

performance restrictions
Tim Robinson, Craftsperson
Staff does not support this proposal. The existing rules are adequate to manage volume issues and those who attempt to vary their volume when the Market Master approaches.

Staff does not support this proposal, but instead offers a counter proposal to Proposal #13, Proposal #13‐A. Please see above.
Prop # Pertains to Topic Author
23 Craft Addresses standards for
print reproduction
PDA Staff
Staff supports a modified version of their own proposal, whereby full control of print reproduction would be required but not necessarily on the premises of the producer’s studio. Staff interest is in full involvement, not the aspect of ownership of the technology. Much thoughtful written comment was submitted in response to this proposal, which has informed staff’s decision.

24 Craft
Addresses usage of commercially available
plans or patterns
PDA Staff
Staff supports their own proposal, with further clarification that “patterns” means a design schematic for instruction of how to make a product, and does not mean patterns such as decorative motifs. There was some initial concern about this proposal that was primarily semantic in nature.
Prop # Pertains to Topic Author
25 Craft Addresses rules review
procedures
Sharon Mukai, Craftsperson &
DTA Chair
Staff does not support this proposal as it pertains to administrative procedure about Rules Review with is outside the scope of the Daystall Rules & Regulations. In spirit, staff support the practice of informing the public and making materials readily available. In recent years, materials have been posted on the Market website and notifications have been sent out via email. This has been done in addition to making hard copies available, repeated Roll Call announcements, bulletin board postings and merchant newsletter notification.
Prop # Pertains to Topic Author
26 Craft Addresses off‐season
points system
Haley Land, Craftsperson
Staff does not presently support this proposal. While staff share concern about some issues raised in this author’s rationales, staff are concerned about adversely impacting vendor presence and perceived fullness of the Daystalls by the Public. Staff commit to a thorough review of these issues, with the option of making appropriate changes by the 2014 Off Season. 2/28/2013 update: Staff have had further discussion on this proposal and the issues at hand, and have received further public comment. Staff reverses their initial recommendation and now support this proposal. Staff support elimination of the off season point system. The point system should remain in place until the current off season is finished, and the list should be reordered accordingly, as permit holders have invested time, effort and attendance in the current model. In the 2014 Off Season, the point system will not be in effect. Other current components of the Off Season list requirements will remain the same: minimum 24 days of attendance from January through April, permit holder attendance in
Market Programs 03.14.13 Page 15
weeks when agents are used, etc.. Rationale: Placing the burden of keeping the Market full on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays on the newest, most vulnerable businesses is not justified. Impact on perceived critical mass of shopping options for visitors can be measured and evaluated in the 2014 Off Season.
Prop # Pertains to Topic Author
27 Craft
Addresses vacation regulations for senior
craftspeople
Stuart Porteous
Staff does not support this proposal. The existing rules provide an adequate and deliberate balance of perks that reward seniority and the interests of new and incubating businesses.
Prop # Pertains to Topic Author
28 Craft Proposes change in Sunday
roll call time
Sharon Mukai, Craftsperson &
DTA Chair
Staff does not support this proposal. Roll Call times were adequately vetted in recent years’ Rule Reviews, and staff sees no justification for further adjustment at this time.

Prop # Pertains to Topic Author
31 Craft
Addresses Saturday attendance requirements
Kris Sacksteder,
Staff does not support this proposal. The original intent of the rule cited here was to make a provision for permit holders who do not employ agents. The assumption was that a permit holder employing an agent can hire the agent to work 2 weekdays as easily as one.

Laura Killoran, Craftsperson
Staff supports this proposal.

Wendy Norrell, Craftsperson
Staff does not support this proposal as a rule change. Management of display issues can be adequately addressed by current rules along with posted summaries of commonly occurring, general issues that apply to different tables and product configurations.

INTRODUCTION
The Pike Place Market (the “Market”) is a nine-acre Historic District in the heart of downtown Seattle, Washington. The Market’s landlord and management agency, the Pike Place Market Preservation & Development Authority (“PDA”), was established by the City of Seattle pursuant to State law and the City’s public corporation enabling ordinance. The PDA is a non-profit corporation chartered to protect and preserve the structures, traditional uses, and character of the Market Historical District. To accomplish the PDA’s objective, the PDA has registered its ownership of the following trademarks:
Word Marks: THE PIKE PLACE MARKET
THE PIKE PLACE PUBLIC MARKET THE PIKE PLACE FARMERS MARKET PIKE PLACE
Design Marks: The graphic representation of the rooftop sign located at the junction of Pike Place and Pike Street. The image includes the sign’s structural framework, the words PUBLIC MARKET CENTER and the clock face; as viewed from all perspectives or as depicted by other letter forms and graphic treatments:
During nearly 100 years of continuous operation, the words “Pike Place Market” have taken on meaning in the mind of the public beyond their descriptive, geographical origin. The words signify a traditional style of retail activity distinctly associated with the Pike Place Market as characterized by the Market’s high level of personal contact between individual buyers and sellers. The name also carries with it an unusually high expectation of seller accountability, expressed for many years in the Market’s well-known slogan “Meet The Producer.”
The Pike Place Market was one of the first historic districts in the nation where the traditional uses and cultural environment of the area were mandated for preservation along with its architecture. In this spirit, the PDA endeavors to preserve and protect the Market’s trademarks so that Merchants of the Market can continue to enjoy the benefits of the Market’s longstanding reputation.
INFRINGEMENT POLICY
The goal of trademark law is to eliminate consumer confusion. Trademark law could not achieve this goal simply by prohibiting marks that are identical; thus, use of similar names and marks in connection with similar goods and services is prohibited because, though not identical, similar
Market Programs 03.14.13 Page 20
A-3
marks are likely to deceive consumers. The PDA is committed to enforcing its right to exclusive use of Pike Place Market trademarks. In order to protect the PDA’s interest, the PDA not only prohibits direct copying of the specific, registered trademarks listed above, but also the use of a number of other similar names and marks.
WHO MAY USE PIKE PLACE MARKET TRADEMARK?
Through many years of use, the name “Pike Place Market” and associated trademarks have acquired special meaning for consumers as a form of identification for the Market’s unique atmosphere, which imparts real commercial value to the name. Merchants in the Market benefit from the equity built up in the name and trademarks, an equity that will be drastically diminished by the inappropriate or unauthorized use of the name and marks. For this reason, the PDA has registered with the State of Washington and the Federal Government its ownership of a number of the word marks and the design mark specifically identified with the Market. Pike Place Market merchants authorized to conduct business within the Market are entitled to use the name “Pike Place Market” and the PDA’s trademarks in accordance with either their rental agreement or lease. All other uses of the name “Pike Place Market” or the PDA’s trademark are expressly prohibited unless a licensing agreement has been approved by the PDA Council. Generally, licenses will not be granted to organizations or individuals outside the Market, unless they demonstrate that their use of the name or trademarks will enhance the goals of the PDA without infringing on licenses already granted. Royalty rates will be set depending on type of use and may be required in advance.
GENERAL TRADEMARK USE REQUIREMENTS
Merchants’ trademark use requirements are set forth in either their rental agreement or lease. Pursuant to these agreements, merchants are only permitted to use the name “Pike Place Market” and or other PDA trademarks for the limited purpose of identification and promotion of the location of the Merchant’s business inside the Market. Leases and rental agreements do not entitle tenants to unrestricted use of PDA trademarks. On the contrary, merchants must obtain a license for any and all uses other than the limited use expressly permitted under their lease or rental agreement. Likewise, all individuals and organizations outside of those authorized to do business as merchants within the Market are prohibited from using the trademarks and name without first obtaining a license from the PDA Council. In all cases, the primary purpose of employing PDA trademarks is:
1. To enhance the image of the Pike Place Market as defined by the Market’s Charter.
2. To cultivate shoppers and promote retail sales for Market Merchants.
3. To further public appreciation of the traditional character, purposes, and products of the Market.
Market Programs 03.14.13 Page 21
A-4
GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR LICENSED USE
Non-exclusive licensing agreements for use of Market trademarks may be granted by the PDA under certain conditions, including:
1. The proposed licensed use is consistent with the primary purposes listed above.
2. The licensed use does not infringe upon licenses already granted, nor does it create confusion in the mind of the consumer, based on interpretation by the PDA.
3. The licensed use materially benefits and improves the Market community by producing revenues not otherwise available through normal Market resources.
4. The licensed design or product originates from an existing Market tenant, merchant or vendor.
5. The licensed product is consistent with the use permits granted by the Pike Place Market Historical Commission for merchandise sold within the Market.
6. All products using Market trademarks are manufactured in compliance with the Prohibition of Sweatshop Conditions (Exhibit B) and free of hazardous materials. Upon request, applicant will disclose the names and locations of factories, and information about wages and working conditions, for all products using Market trademarks.
TIMELINE
Trademark applications are first reviewed by the PDA staff to determine if they meet the minimum required guidelines. If so, the application will be presented to the Market Programs committee of the PDA Council at their next available monthly meeting. If approved at this meeting, the application is forwarded to the following PDA Council meeting for consideration. This process can easily take two months or longer, depending on agenda items already in place for the meetings.
TRADEMARK LICENSE APPLICATION AND ROYALTY FEES There is no fee to apply for trademark use. If an application is approved by the PDA Council, there is a non-refundable $250 start-up fee before an agreement is drafted. The PDA will pay up to one hour for our legal costs in setting up the agreement; any addition legal expenses we incur must be paid by the applicant. Royalty fees are charged and vary depending on the use, but are typically a percentage of sales.

We appreciate your interest in using the Pike Place Market’s trademarks and in helping us protect our trademark rights.

PIKE PLACE MARKET PDA TRADEMARK USAGE GUIDELINES EXHIBIT B
PROHIBITION OF SWEATSHOP CONDITIONS
The Pike Place Market Preservation and Development Authority shall only license goods and services covered by this policy from applicants that ensure that all Production Facilities adhere to or exceed the following sweatfree code of conduct in their practices and policies regarding applicable Workers.
a. Legal Requirements. Production Facilities shall comply with all applicable domestic labor, employment, health and safety, environmental, and building laws; the “core” conventions of the International Labor Organization, including those regarding forced and child labor, non-discrimination, and freedom of association and collective bargaining; and other internationally recognized labor rights, including those regarding health and safety, maternity leave, hours of work, wages, and homework.
b. Wages and Benefits. Production Facilities shall pay a non-poverty wage. In the United States, the non-poverty wage is the level of wages required for a full-time worker to produce an annual income equal to or greater than the United States Department of Health and Human Services’ most recent poverty guideline for a family of three plus an additional 20% of the wage level paid either as hourly wage, health benefits, or pension benefits. Outside the United States, a non-poverty wage is a comparable nationwide wage and benefit level, adjusted to reflect the local cost of living, sufficient to raise a family of average size out of poverty.
c. Hours of Work and Overtime. Production Facilities shall not require hourly and quota-based
workers to work more than 48 hours per week or the limits on regular hours allowed by the law of the country of manufacture, whichever is lower. In addition, Production Facilities shall provide at least one day off in every seven-day period, as well as holidays and vacations. Production Facilities shall ensure that all hours worked beyond the limits on working hours are voluntary, except as provided for by both national law and a bona fide collective bargaining contract. Required overtime should only be permitted when each of the following conditions exists: a) national law permits mandatory overtime; b) the facility is party to a collectively negotiated contract with a representative labor union and this contract permits mandatory overtime, and; c) mandatory overtime does not exceed the amount allowed by the collective contract. In addition to their compensation for regular hours of work, hourly and quota-based workers shall be compensated for overtime hours at such a premium rate as is legally required in the country of manufacture or, in those locations where such laws do not exist, at a rate at least one-and-one-half their regular hourly compensation rate.
d. Discrimination and Women’s Rights. Production Facilities shall not discriminate in employment -
including in hiring, salary, benefits, advancement, discipline, termination, retirement, or any other term or condition of employment or employer practice - on the basis of gender (including pregnancy), race, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, nationality, political opinion, or social or ethnic origin. Production Facilities shall not require pregnancy tests as a condition of employment, nor demand pregnancy tests of employees. Women workers shall receive equal remuneration, including equal pay, benefits, treatment, and opportunity to fill positions open to male workers.
Market Programs 03.14.13 Page 24
B-2
e. Harassment and Abuse. Production Facilities shall not harass or abuse workers sexually, psychologically, or verbally, or use corporal punishment.
f. Freedom of Association. Production Facilities shall respect workers' rights to freedom of
association, collective bargaining, striking or other concerted protest, and filing of grievances.
