REGULAR MEETING JULY 10, 2017 <br /> BEND MUNICIPAL CODE ADDRESSING <br /> MOBILE FOOD VENDORS AND MOBILE <br /> FOOD VENDING VEHICLES <br /> Councilmember Gavin Ferlic, Chair of the Community Invesment Committee, stated that they <br /> met this afternoon and send this bill forward with a favorable recommendation. <br /> Councilmember Tim Scott, 711 Forest Avenue, South Bend, IN, served as the presenter of this <br /> bill. Councilmember Scott stated, This is a collaboration between Gavin Ferlic, Karen White, <br /> and myself. I want to thank Aladean DeRose for editing and amending in the City <br /> Administration, as well as DTSB,the food truck ordinance. We took a look at the current <br /> ordinance. We actually talked to businesses within the downtown area, as well as with other food <br /> trucks. We wanted to make it a little more business-friendly. With that in mind, we extended the <br /> time from four(4) hours to eight(8)hours. We had food vendors that, by the time they got set <br /> up, they were ready to serve and their time limit was upon them and then they had to tear down. <br /> There was a couple of pizza oven vendors that had food trucks that, by the time everything got <br /> hot,they were up against the time limit. Current brick-and-mortar restaurants were fine with <br /> going to the eight(8) hour time limit over the four (4)hour limit. To make it a little more <br /> business-friendly,besides the annual fee it's five-hundred and twenty-five dollars ($525). We <br /> added a one (1) day license for fifty dollars ($50), a thirty (3 0) day license for one-hundred and <br /> thirty dollars ($130), a three (3)month license for two-hundred dollars ($200). There are other <br /> options for food trucks that want to come into the area and try out the market before totally <br /> committing and buying in. Those are the changes to the food truck ordinance. <br /> This being the time heretofore set for the Public Hearing on the above bill,proponents and <br /> opponents were given an opportunity to be heard. <br /> There were none from the public who wished to speak in favor or opposition to this bill. <br /> Councilmember Oliver Davis made a motion to send Bill No. 39-17 to the full Council with a <br /> favorable recommendation. Councilmember Karen White seconded the motion which carried by <br /> a voice vote of eight (8) ayes. <br /> RISE AND REPORT <br /> Councilmember Oliver Davis made a motion to rise and report to full Council. Councilmember <br /> Karen White seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of eight(8) ayes. <br /> REGULAR MEETING RECONVENED <br /> Be it remembered that the Common Council of the City of South Bend reconvened in the <br /> Council Chambers on the fourth floor of the County-City building at 7:23 p.m. Council President <br /> Tim Scott presided with eight(8) members present. <br /> BILLS —THIRD READING <br /> BILL NO. <br /> 39-17 PUBLIC HEARING ON AN ORDINANCE OF <br /> THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF <br /> SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, AMENDING SUB- <br /> PARTS (d) AND (f)(3) OF CHAPTER 4, <br /> ARTICLE 4, SECTION 4-45 OF THE SOUTH <br /> BEND MUNICIPAL CODE ADDRESSING <br /> MOBILE FOOD VENDORS AND MOBILE <br /> FOOD VENDING VEHICLES <br /> Councilmember Gavin Ferlic made a motion to pass Bill No. 39-17.
