Page 1 of 2 AGENDA ITEM – 1A MEMORANDUM DATE: May 24, 2021 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Dave Perrault, City Administrator FROM: Julie Hanson, City Clerk SUBJECT: Food Truck Ordinance Discussion Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: N/A N/A N/A For Council Consideration Council may provide direction on amending City Code Chapter 3, Section 395 – Mobile Food Units and Section 320 – Limited, Temporary Permits (please note the below information has been updated from the May 17, 2021 memo Council received regarding food trucks). Background At its April 19, 2021 work session, the City Council directed staff to provide proposed language amendments to City Code pertaining to mobile food truck units (food trucks). Any amendments would seek to clarify language pertaining to residential properties hosting a mobile food unit/food truck as well as enforcement of the ordinance. Changes could include: • Adding clarifying language regarding who may be served • Limiting food trucks on residential properties to two catered events per year • Requiring residential property owners to obtain a no-fee permit (similar to garage sales and would require an update to Section 320 – limited, temporary permits) • Clarifying property owners may also be subject to penalties if in violation, and assign a fine/fee (this would require an update to the 2021 Amended Fee Schedule) Attachment A provides a draft of Section 395 for Council discussion. Attachment B provides a draft of proposed amended language to Sections 320.09, 320.10, and 320.12 pertaining to the addition of a no-fee food truck permit, should Council decide to require this (similar to garage sales). Attachment C provides a preliminary draft of a residential mobile food unit/food truck application form.
