Maintain during the event a list of all vendors, including each vendor's name, address, and tax identification number;

(3)

Cooperate with the state department of revenue, if it inspects the vendors during the event; and

At least 72 hours prior to the event, the organizer may request the city provide electricity or other utilities (hereafter utilities) to its vendors or otherwise during the event. In this case, the city may separately meter the electricity and/or utilities provided for the event, and the organizer shall reimburse the city for the cost of the utilities provided.
