(2) An inspection reveals that the vendor is not operating in a manner that is safe to the health, safety and welfare of the public.
(3) The mobile food vendor unit is operating or has operated in a location within the city that is not permitted.
(4) The mobile food vendor unit failed to abide by a city official's or police officer's request to relocate due to the vendor blocking, obstructing or interfering with vehicular, bicycle or pedestrian flow.

(7) If a mobile food vendor unit fails to report to the Illinois Department of Revenue, for the purpose of sales tax, that Farmer City is the point of sale on all transactions that occur while operating in the City of Farmer City, which would result in the City of Farmer City not receiving due sales tax revenue.
(8) The mobile food unit or unit has otherwise violated or failed to comply with this chapter.
