No person or business shall operate as a mobile food vendor within the City without first obtaining a license from the City Clerk. The license shall be valid for a period of one year from issuance and shall be renewable every year thereafter. There shall be a fee established by the City for the annual permit to cover expenses associated with the preparation and issuance of the permit, and any inspections for compliance with this chapter.
The City Commission hereby authorizes the City Manager or his designee to waive the annual license fee for a mobile food vendor whose intent is to participate in a one-time special event, parade or assembly during the calendar year. However, the provisions contained in 5-10-3 A.4. and 5. shall still apply. Any person who otherwise engages in the business of a mobile food vendor without a valid license issued by the City shall be guilty of an offense. (6309, 5-23-2022)
