be noted that the licensing process typically occurs completely digitally via email, and a payment <br />link is provided to the vendor for payment online of the license fee. <br />The below table illustrates the number of temporary ($30) and annual ($100) licenses issued each <br />year to date since this license was created (note the fees have remained the same since <br />inception). <br />Year <br />Temporary Licenses <br />Annual Licenses <br />Total No. <br />Issued <br />2018 <br />26 <br />0 <br />26 <br />2019 <br />25 <br />0 <br />25 <br />2020 <br />4 <br />0 <br />4 <br />2021 <br />24 <br />0 <br />24 <br />2022 <br />46 <br />2 <br />48 <br />2023 <br />40 <br />4 <br />44 <br />It should be noted that the majority of the above licenses are issued to vendors operating at <br />commercial properties such as Boston Scientific and Land O' Lakes or at one of the local schools <br />for an event. <br />That said, over the course of 2021 and into 2022, the City Council discussed implementing a <br />resident permit for hosting a mobile food unit/food truck in which the residential property owner <br />obtains a no -fee permit from the City. The permit allows for a duration of 2 events/parties lasting <br />no more than 3 days per event, per calendar year (similar to hosting a garage sale/boutique). Staff <br />issued two such permits in 2022 and three so far in 2023. <br />Council may wish to consider the following: <br />1. Does the Council wish to remove the designation of a temporary license and just have <br />one, annual license with one standard fee? <br />2. Does the Council wish to revisit requiring a City issued license and revert back to only <br />requiring that the vendors submit the Minnesota Department of Health food license or <br />Ramsey County license and proof of insurance? <br />3. Does the Council wish to revisit requiring the no fee, resident food truck permit? <br />4. Does the Council wish to leave the process and fees for the vendor license and/or the <br />resident permit as they currently are and make no changes? <br />Budget Impact <br />The City has collected approximately $1,600 annually the past two years with these fees, and any <br />implications to the revenue will depend on what Council wants changed. <br />Attachments <br />110M <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
