ITEM 6.A.
Council Action: 10/21/2019
Description

Ordinance to Amend Title 3, Business Regulation and Licenses of the 2015 Municipal Code of Council Bluffs, Iowa by repealing existing Chapter 3.58 "Street Sales" and replacing it with a new Chapter 3.58 entitled "Mobile Food Vendors".

Background/Discussion

This ordinance will repeal Chapter 3.58 (Street Sales) and replace/rename it “Mobile Food Vendors.” 

 

With mobile food vendors becoming more common in today’s marketplace, it made sense to update our code to reflect this growing trend.  City legal met with Directors of various departments to address their individual concerns relating to the regulation of mobile food vendors, and we determined it would be best to follow the current code used in Omaha to promote continuity throughout the metro area.  This allows vendors on both sides of the river to operate their businesses without too much differentiation and focus primarily on providing quality food service to citizens.

 
Recommendation

It is our recommendation that this ordinance be passed.
