...countries like Mexico, Honduras, and Italy. Some of the best food in other countries are often sold at a food cart or stand. It wasn’t until recently that the fascination with food carts began in the U.S. more specifically in Austin. Austin is becoming one of the fastest growing cites in America, so it is only natural that the food cart industry is growing as well. Food carts are going to be large part of the future of the food industry. Since they are already a big hit from the East to West Coast. Food carts have very few requirements to get started as opposed to restaurants that have a greater risk of losing more money. First the owner should buy the actual food cart or truck. Then the owner just has to get the cart up to code with permits and regulations. Since it is a business with food the state of Texas wants the food...

...construction permits Many accidents occurred in Egypt in the last few years due to difficulties imposed by authorities regarding dealing with construction permits. Reducing such occurrences will require both efficient regulation and proper enforcement. Denmark, Georgia, New Zealand and Thailand are examples of countries that manage to regulate the construction permitting process with relatively few requirements, yet their regulations are considered buildings safe. It is not easy to find the right balance between safety and efficiency in construction regulations. They need to be both clear and adaptable to economic and technological change. Making it easier to deal with construction permits help the growth of the construction industry. Consequently, more construction workers are employed, construction-related materials and services are purchased from local suppliers, and local jobs are created. For every 10 jobs directly related to a construction project, 8 other jobs may be created in the local economy. Doing Business records the procedures, time and cost required for a small to medium-size business to obtain all the necessary approvals to build a simple commercial warehouse and connect it to water, sewerage and a fixed telephone line , it includes all types of inspections and certificates needed before, during and after construction of the warehouse.

...York City suburbs. The hot commodity in these areas that are causing the residents so much pain and heartache is a public parking pass. The nature of failure in this case is a failure to adequately provide a public good. The article states that in Connecticut there are more than 60,000 commuters that take the train into Manhattan everyday and the stations only have enough parking for almost 20,000 commuters. The others commuters are forced to use more expensive private lots in order to use the same train stations. This is not a new problem for the rail stations this is a problem that have been going on for years. Parking passes to park at the lots run $279-$840 for an annual permit and the waiting list is at least 6 years long with 4,200 to people on it. The other option is fighting for a spot at the private lots at the cost of $1280 annually. Is everyone that is in possession of these golden parking passes actually using them? The answer is no, these residents renew the parking passes yearly whether they have a need for them or not because they are in fear of not having one when the need does arise. Family members are even passing the permits down to other family members once the owner is decease. The article states that in the town of Rowayton there is so much of a frenzy that residents camped out overnight to make sure they were able to get a $325 parking pass. Something needs to be done about this situation in the very near future and ,the towns officials do recognize this...

...time they are also getting fined for illegal parking. In the article, “UT A Top National Public University,” it was written that the freshman class of 2009 held 3,723 students and had an average core GPA of 3.79 and ACT average of 26.5. As you can see The University of Tennessee Knoxville is a very sought after University to join. Being one of the top schools at its level, it has drawn a tremendous amount of attention and desire for students to attend. With in-state tuition being around $8,300 annually, they tend to draw in a heaping amount of students and scholars from all over the state. Tennessee Journalist reports an interview of UT student Liz Whitley, “The University sells more parking passes than there are spots available, so during busy times like lunch, it’s almost impossible to find a place to park your car.” Also according to another college student, “There were either too many permits given out, or people illegally parked there all the time,” as written by Aubrey Roff. The biggest issue as far as parking goes is that colleges issue too many permits to students. In reference to UT school website, the ratio of parking permits issued to actual parking spaces available is an almost 2 to 1 ratio; 1.85 to 1 to be precise. Based on the article, “Parking and Transit Services Rates” from the UT parking and transit services, prices can range anywhere from $182 to $285 for commuters and non-commuters; as far as staff goes, their permit rates run upwards of $360 to even soaring...

...Edgecombe Avenue Parking: A Need for Additional Legal Parking Spaces XXXXXXX M O’N Edgecombe Avenue Parking: A Need for Additional Legal Parking Spaces With the population of the area growing each year and the removal of a large parking garage, our community is experiencing a parking shortage. The east side of Edgecombe Avenue between 155th & 150th Streets (a one way street) is the only area in the neighborhood that does not allow parking. The purpose of this paper is to show that Community Board 9’s Transportation Committee should approve a change so that parking is permitted on both sides of the street. The current parking restrictions have created an undue burden on the residents, increase the risk to personal safety and with the upcoming Sugar Hill Project parking will become even more problematic in the neighborhood. Parking on the east side of the street was briefly allowed for a few months back in 2009 but was subsequently revoked. The decision was made at a community board meeting that was not fully communicated to the residents. The board should reconsider since several factors have changed in the past two years and not all viewpoints were expressed at the 2009 meeting. Every other street in the surrounding area permits parking on both sides. There are no city ordinances published regarding this issue. Josh Orzeck, the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Community Board Liaison stated “In order to make a change, the residents must make a...

...Business Organization and Management Synthesis The case is about the ethical dilemmas of a retail apparel company trying to cut corners to make opening of new stores faster. In opening a new branch, retail apparel companies try to construct faster because malls are already asking for payments. This pressures the company to open their store immediately to be able to pay the malls. But there are certain permits that have to be accomplished for anyone to open a new store and government offices usually take a long time to process permit requests because of the lack of manpower (one person is assigned to many tasks, thus making it harder to fast track processing of permits) and they don't have enough equipment. To skip this issue, the retail company talks to someone and pays them an undisclosed amount just to secure the permits needed in an instant. Since this is not part of the process, the payment made has no receipt issued and therefore not found in the books. This has been a practice the retail company has been doing for a long time and has been accepted as an ordinary measure. Point of View The point of view of the case is from the view of the Brand Manager of an outdoor brand for a footwear, apparel and equipment store. Statement of the Problem In opening a new store for the brand in any location, there must be certain transactions that have to be accomplished. Due to this process, people prefer skipping it altogether by paying off someone in the government offices...

...We have completed initial research on the legal and bureaucratic environment and found that Canada is open to new businesses. Although Toronto is friendly to new businesses there are still other issues to be addressed, which are the taxes, building permits, imports, and business licenses. The tax rate Sonic would fall under would be the Residual Commercial Property tax rate which is 3.78%. This is where we would take the value of our property and multiple it buy the tax rate which would then give us how much we would need to pay. Also, since we are trying to build or reconstruct a building we would need to obtain a building permit. This is a formal permission from the City of Toronto to being construction. The Toronto building staff must review the plans to ensure that we comply with all the building codes, local zoning by-laws, and other regulations the city might need us to meet. The permit fee for this project would roughly cost $21.00. There would be no issues for Sonic to import goods since Canada does not put any major restrictions on agricultural and food products. This would make it easier to bring over processed meat and other foods. Lastly, in order to do business in Toronto we would be required to get a business license from the Municipal Licensing and Standards Division. We would need a business license so that we can follow all of the municipal by-laws. If Sonic does not want to import their goods there is a local manufacture in Toronto that will do it...

...City of Toronto Transportation Services Permit Parking 416-392-7873 INFORMATION ABOUT PERMIT PARKING Permit parking is implemented on either a street name basis where parking is restricted to one specific street or on an area basis where a number of streets have been grouped into permit areas in order to maximize the available parking. A permit holder who parks on a street authorized for permit parking must park in a legal parking space subject to existing traffic regulations. In addition, the vehicle registration must remain valid and the validation sticker must be affixed to your licence plate, while you are a permit holder. Permits issued on an area basis will have the corresponding area shown on the face of the permit. A permit holder with such a permit may park on any street authorized and signed, which bears the same area code. Permits issued on a street-name basis will have a five digit code number typed on the face of the permit. A permit holder with such a permit may park only on the authorized and signed sections of the street for which the permit is issued. As a permit holder, you must comply with all NO PARKING signs (for example, NO PARKING 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., etc.). However, you may ignore those signs on your street or in your designated area which limit parking to one, two or unsigned three hour parking restrictions. A permit holder shall be given a grace period to move their vehicle from 9:00 p.m. the previous night to 9:00 a.m. the next morning on changeover...
