Comment: At a work session in December, staff proposed three changes to the
mobile vender provisions, and Council directed staff to draft an ordinance to amend the
City Code accordingly. This ordinance decreases the number of permits to six and the
venders are assigned locations. Presently there are six mobile venders so no current
vender is affected. Second, the minimum hours requirement is eliminated allowing the
venders to operate when they wish. Third, the provision that supports a diverse
offering of food products is eliminated thus allowing venders to serve any type of food
or beverage (with the exception of alcohol). See staff memo in the December 2, 2010
information packet for more detail.
