<br />REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br />~ <br />~~~ <br />~ <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br /> <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br /> <br />NOVEMBER 7, 2005 <br /> <br />TITLE: <br />PUBLIC HEARING - RESOLUTION FOR <br />MOBILE VEHICLE VENDING FEES <br /> <br />APPROVED <br /> <br />o As Recommended <br />o As Amended <br />o Ordinance on 1 sl Reading <br />o Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br />o Implementing Resolution <br />o Set Public Hearing For <br /> <br />()JZt~(~ <br /> <br />CONTINUED TO <br /> <br />FILE NUMBER <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER <br /> <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> <br />Adopt a resolution approving a permit fee for mobile vehicle vending and <br />adding this fee to the City's miscellaneous fee schedule. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />At its meeting of October 17, 2005, the City Council adopted an ordinance <br />that established regulations pertaining to the operation of mobile <br />vending vehicles. The lengthy deliberations that lead up the adoption of <br />the ordinance contemplated that certain fees would later be considered in <br />an effort to cover the City's costs of issuing permits, conducting <br />inspections and administering the program. <br /> <br />Based upon an analysis of the total costs of administering the program, a <br />copy of which is available from the Clerk of the Council, an annual fee <br />of $405 per permit is recommended. This fee is based on conservative <br />cost estimates and would serve to fund two new full-time positions in the <br />Community Preservation Division: one full-time inspector position and one <br />full-time clerical position. The responsibility of these new positions <br />will be to administer the mobile vehicle vendor program under the general <br />direction of the Community Preservation Manager. Specific tasks are <br />estimated to include establishing and implementing application <br />procedures, issuing permits, conducting proactive inspections, responding <br />to vendor and community questions and concerns. <br /> <br />The proposed fee has been developed in an effort to properly administer <br />the program and yet keep it affordable. The actual costs will be <br />monitored over the first year and future adjustments may be recommended <br />accordingly. The applicability of enacting similar fees for ice cream <br />vendors will also be studied and recommendations forwarded as may be <br />appropriate. <br /> <br />75A-1 <br />
