RECOMMENDATION:

FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
No financial impact.
BACKGROUND:
On August 1, 2023, the City Council introduced, and by a 5-0 vote, approved for first reading Ordinance No. 03 (2023), subject to two amendments pertaining to the minimum distance between vendors, and liability insurance coverage. The final version of the ordinance (Attachment 1) has thus been revised as follows:
1. Subsection 5.08.095(c)(19)(e) has been revised by replacing the minimum 50-foot separation distance between sidewalk vendors with a limitation of one vendor per block. The language of the revised section defines a “block” as the distance along each side of a street from where one road crosses it to the place where the next road crosses it.
2. Subsection 5.08.095(d)(19) has been added to require each sidewalk vendor to maintain a general liability insurance policy with a minimum coverage of $1,000,000, with the City named as an additional insured party.
A redline/strikeout version of the amended ordinance is included as Attachment 2.
If adopted, the ordinance will become effective on September 14, 2023 (30 days after adoption).
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the Ordinance as to form.
