(A) Annual permit. In order to engage in remote food sales within the city, a vendor must first obtain and maintain a permit from the office of the City Building Commissioner. The cost of a permit is $100 for the vendor’s first vehicle and $50 for each subsequent vehicle used by the vendor for remote food sales. This annual permit expires on December 31 of the year in which it is issued.
(B) Application form. Within one month of the passage of this subchapter the City Building Commissioner or his or her designee (the “Building Commissioner”) shall develop an application vendors shall use to apply for the annual permit. Such applications shall be approved, provided the application is completed correctly and the application fee is paid.
(C) Application process.
(1) Applications for an annual permit shall be turned in to the Building Commissioner. The Building Commissioner shall determine whether an application has been properly completed within seven days of the application being turned in and any required criminal background checks coming back, whichever occurs later.
(2) An application is not considered complete unless all required fields in the application are completely filled out and signed, the permit fee has been paid, the consent to criminal background check form is completely filled out and signed, and proof of liability insurance is attached to the application.
(D) Display of permit. The original or a copy of the annual permit shall be displayed by a vendor in a conspicuous place on the vendor’s equipment, in plain view of the public, at all times while open to the public.
(E) Nontransferability of permits. Annual permits are nontransferable. It is unlawful to transfer, assign, sell or loan such permit for the use of any other vendor to enable such vendor to engage in remote food sales without a proper permit from the city.
