REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION RELATING TO PERMITS FOR VENDORS CONDUCTING SALES FROM PORTABLE CONCESSION STANDS IN CITY PARKS Recreation and Parks Director Stan Ford explained that staff was seeking a two- prong approach to vending and concessions in City parks. One approach is to seek out companies willing to provide vending machines in the parks. Another approach is to seek out companies with portable concession stands. Staff prefers to utilize portable and self-contained concession stands due to a number of reasons, including the disrepair of the City's permanent concession stands, the costs involved in rehabilitating them, the constraints placed upon the City relative to the terminations with existing contracts due to current condition of permanent stands, and health regulations in providing otherthan a building shell forfood concessionaires. Request for proposals (RFPs) would show how much interest there is in the community to provide the requested services. Changes in the existing ordinance would be required if proposals were found to be viable. Councilmember David Couch questioned whether a third approach, a third RFP, would be appropriate for permanent concession stands, speaking specifically of the Beach Park concession stand. Councilmember Jacquie Sullivan suggested an assessment of the existing structure at Beach Park, to see how much it would cost to rehabilitate it. Councilmember Pat DeMond commented that her focus was on providing a service 365 days a year. It was agreed the provision of service was of primary importance. City Manager Alan Tandy suggested longer than one year arrangements might result in better negotiated agreements. City Attorney Bart Thiltgen reiterated the City's moratorium on concessions was in still in effect. Committee members agreed that staff should move forward with the proposals to ascertain the level of interest in the community. B. REVlEWAND RECOMMENDATION RELATING TO PORTABLE CONCESSION STAND MATTERS IN AREAS OTHER THAN CITY PARKS The two issues discussed relative to portable concession stands in areas other than City parks centered on zoning (Cl vs. C2) and oversight of a lot site by a primary business over a secondary business. The City's current ordinance indicates C2 Agenda Summary Report Legislative and Litigation Committee September 21, 2000 Page 3 zoning which staff recommends retaining. Oversight by a primary business over a secondary business resolves many unanticipated problems, such as impacts on surrounding business/property owners and mini flea markets. Development Services Director Jack Hardisty indicated outdoor sales are prohibited in C1 zones. City Treasurer Bill Descary indicated a recent resident concern over the primary vs. secondary business issue had been resolved by the primary business allowing the secondary business to operate at the primary business's location. Committee members agreed no further action was needed relative to this item. 5.
