MOU-N-DitSVIEW City of Mounds View Staff Report Item No: 08F Meeting Date: August 23, 2021 Type of Business: Council Business City Administrator Review: To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator Item Title/Subject: First Reading and Introduction, Ordinance 980, Amending Title XI of the Mounds View City Code to Add a New Chapter Regulating Mobile Food Vehicles and Vendors Introduction: Staff normally starts receiving inquiries regarding food truck in early spring. This year, we had received a lot more inquires than usual, and our City Code does not address food trucks specifically. They are processed using our transient merchant portion of the Code. Therefore, Staff saw the need to add a section to our Code to address mobile food vehicles and vendors. Discussion: With current social distancing guidelines still in place, people are having more celebrations outside and in parks. Staff saw the need to include a new section in the Code to address the increased inquires and requests for mobile food vehicles and vendors. Staff brought this issue to your May 3 City Council Work Session for discussion. With your support, Staff worked with our City Attorney to draft an ordinance which was brought to your June 6 Work Session for review. Attached please find Ordinance 980. Additionally, on June 14, 2021 the City Council adopted Resolution 9436, which revised the 2021 Fee Schedule to include fees for Mobile Food Vehicles and Vendors. Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Our ordinance and this application are consistent with the Vision Statement, "...welcoming a desirable destination to all ages and cultures ... and a place where residents can live, work and play." Financial Impact: None Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance 980. The second reading will be held on September 13, 2021. Respectfully, Nyle Zikmund City Administrator
