Commiteemember Randy Kelly made a motion to send Bill No. 17-39 to the full Council with a <br /> favorable recommendation. Committeemember Tipps seconded this motion which carried <br /> unanimously by a voice vote of four(4) ayes. <br /> Bill No. 39-17- Amending SBMC addressing Mobile Food Vendors & Vehicles <br /> Tim Scott, 711 Forest Ave., stated, I'm speaking on behalf of DTSB and the City <br /> Administration. We are bringing a change to the Food Truck Ordinance. I along with <br /> Councilmember White and Councilmember Ferlic have noticed a need for increased hours on <br /> food trucks from four(4)hours to eight(8) hours and also, to be more business-friendly, we've <br /> proposed adding different licenses. Before, it has just been an annual seasonal fee of five <br /> hundred and twenty-five dollars ($525)which was a tough buy-in for anyone starting out. We <br /> now are proposing to offer a one (1) day license for fifty dollars ($50), a thirty (30) day license <br /> for one hundred and thirty dollars ($130) and a three (3)month license for two hundred dollars <br /> ($200). We thought those were equitable prices and will get people intrigued to buy-in. Notably <br /> we've had people who do a pizza oven truck and by the time they get set up serving food, plus <br /> taking in account the close-down time, they have a very small window of opportunity. DTSB, <br /> separate from the ordinance, is working on different zones for the trucks. Right now,they are <br /> allowed to park in front of the Morris Theatre on off-show nights and days. There is also a <br /> section on Jefferson Avenue and they are also looking at the Century Center as a possibility. The <br /> idea is to spread them out throughout the Central Business District. <br /> Committee Chair Ferlic opened the floor to questions from Committee or Councilmembers. <br /> There were none. He then opened the floor to members of the public wishing to speak in favor of <br /> or in opposition to the legislation. There were none. He then turned the floor back to the <br /> committee for further comment or main motions. <br /> Committeemember Tipps made a motion to send Bill No. 39-17 to the full Council with a <br /> favorable recommendation. The motion was seconded by Committeemember Kelly which <br /> carried unanimously by a voice vote of four(4) ayes. <br /> With no other business, Committee Chair Ferlic adjourned the Community Investment <br /> Committee meeting at 4:47 p.m. <br /> Respectfully Submitted, <br /> Gavin Ferlic, Chairperson <br />
