Comment: The Human Rights Ordinance has been amended to remove stray
references to "housing accommodation," an outdated term that was removed from the
Ordinance in a recent comprehensive update, to make the Ordinance more gender -
neutral by replacing reference to "men and women" with reference to "persons," and to
clarify treatment of time limits when a time limit expires on a weekend or a federal or state

THAT GRILLING VENDORS PROVIDE SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT FOODS.
(SECOND CONSIDERATION)
Comment: This ordinance proposes two changes that essentially codify current
practice. One, although the Code gives priority to a vendor from a previous year
over a new vendor, it does not provide how competing new vendors will be selected.
As with mobile vendors on the ped mall, staff recommends that the selection
standards be set forth in the Administrative Rules. Two, the Code requires that
grilling vendors vend substantially different food products which has not been
enforced and should a eliminated. Staff requests expedited action. . �p
