DISCUSSION
After first reading of Ordinance No. 366 staff found an inconsistency with Chapter 12.16,
Parks, specifically Section 12.16.090. This inconsistency applies to vendors in City
parks. Section 12.16.090 does not allow vendors in City parks without having
authorization by the City Manager or his/her designee. Minor additions to Section
5.64.090 need to be made prior to second reading of the ordinance. The minor
changes are to subsection B and are shown as strikeout and underlining:
5.64.090 Hours of operation and location restrictions.
A. Vendors must operate only between the hours of nine (9:00)
a.m. to seven (7:00) p.m. Monday through Saturday, except as further
restricted by section 5.64.090B.

permitted within one-quarter (1/4) mile of any elementary or secondary
public or private school between the hours of eight (8:00)
a.m. and four (4:00) p.m. on days school is in session. The authority may
approve a temporary use permit to allow the conduct of the business for
which a street vendor is permitted for special events or occasions
sponsored by the city. Vending in public parks shall comply with Section
12.16.090.
C. The prohibition of this section does not apply to any person
invited in writing to call upon any elementary or secondary public or private
school by the principal of the school or other authorized person thereof. The
written invitation shall be presented to any city official or law enforcement
officer upon demand.
D. It is unlawful for any street vendor to solicit business on
private property that has a "No Solicitors" sign prominently displayed.
The City Attorney has reviewed the proposed minor changes and does not consider
such changes to be significant enough to warrant another first reading. Second reading
of the ordinance can proceed with the minor changes.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve the minor changes to Section 5.64.090, waive full reading, and declare
Ordinance No. 366 read for the second time and adopted as read.
