The city attorney told the council staff reviewed recent state legislative changes affecting vendors and described the need to update local regulations in Chapter 506 (vendors and related restaurant provisions). The attorney said the council had been directed to consider an ordinance to modernize and clarify vendor rules and penalty provisions in light of state action.
The city attorney recommended that council members provide any ideas for improvements or clarifications so staff can incorporate them into the draft ordinance. The attorney said the revised ordinance will be brought forward for council consideration to make the local code current with recent state changes.
No formal action was taken at this meeting; the item was a staff update and the attorney asked for direction and feedback ahead of drafting the ordinance.
