Business:

1) Mobile Food Vendor Questionnaire

The Development Services Clerk reviewed her report with the Committee
Discussion ensued thereon

Committee of the Whole recommends to Council:

That Council receive the results of the Mobile Food Questionnaire and due to the limited interest in Mobile Food Trucks at this time, agrees to allow Mobile Food Vendors at the designated locations in the City as per the criteria and fees specified in the Pilot Project of 2012, excluding the location on Oliver Street below Herb Gardner Park. Council agree to allow this program to continue on a case by case approval until such time that the popularity of Mobile Food Vendors warrants a full review of the project or all of the locations are filled. This will allow Staff to follow up and review any issues that arise from mobile food vending, and have the option of making changes as necessary. Staff will report back to Council in the fall with an update on how the project has progressed.

The Acting CAO reviewed the item with the Committee
