MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 12, 2012
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Economic Advisory Commission
THROUGH: Josh Birks, Economic Health Director
Darin Atteberry, City Manager
RE: Outdoor Vendor Study
The Economic Advisory Commission held its monthly meeting on June 20, 2012 and received a
presentation by staff on the Outdoor Vendor Study. This agenda item included an overview of
the two Ordinances that address actions needed to implement the Outdoor Vendor Study staff
recommendations.
The Commission is aware that City Council adopted on First Reading two Ordinances pertaining
to the Outdoor Vendor Study on June 5, 2012. Ordinance No. 057, 2012 amends the Land Use
Code. Ordinance No. 058, 2012 amends Chapter 15 of the City Code regarding licensing and
regulations for outdoor vendor businesses. However, the Commission agreed to schedule this
item in later in June, with the ability to discuss and forward a recommendation to Council prior
to Second Reading on July 17.
The Economic Advisory Commission is recommending City Council adopt the two
Ordinances on Second Reading. The Commission concludes that implementation of the
Outdoor Vendor Study will be in the best interest of the City, provide additional
opportunities for outdoor vendors operating in the community, and support City Plan
Policies relating to programs emphasizing small local business and entrepreneurship.
