Good afternoon.

Hello.

Wow.

This is a agenda for the special meeting and work session with the Bullhead City Parks and Recreation Commission.

Today is Wednesday, October 18.

Call to order.

Roll call.

All commission members are present except for Commissioner Bell.

All right.

Thank you, Debbie.

Discussion of this particular work session.

Pardon me, is in regards to mobile vendors in the city parks.

Our own city parks, of course.

I'd like to hand it over to Dave Heath.

Parks and Rec Superintendent.

Thank you very much, Chairman Cox.

In order to get started with this whole thing, I'd kind of like to educate everyone out there that might be watching at home and everybody in the audience kind of go over a few of the things that are germane to what happens out there in the parks during the summer when it comes to food vending.

So I'd like to dive right in by and it might be a little dry, but I'm I'm going to do it anyway.04.025.

A, a mobile food vendor as defined and authorized under the Arizona revised statutes statutes 9485 includes mobile food unit incorporated therein as may be amended is authorized to issue a business license under this chapter.

B, for purposes of the application of section uh 5.04.030.

Herein a license is deemed in to be operating within the appropriate zoning district within the city so long as the license presents a duly license duly issued license as required by the state of Arizona.

C, for purposes of the application of uh of section 5.04.050, a for herein the location of the licensees business within the city is deemed to be to either to be either a business address or commercial zone or licensees home use of the home address under this section requires the applicant to submit for and be approved as a home occupation as defined under Title 17 of the same code.

D, a license that anticipates operating within this any city right of way upon issuance of a business license required herein must present proof of an occurrence-based general commercial liability policy in the and the amount of at least one million dollars, which names the city is additional insured by endorsement.

The policy must be with the carrier authorized to do business in the city of Arizona that possesses an AMB best rating of at least B plus.

The policy shall remain in effect so long as the vendor operates within the right-of-way for purposes of this subsection right of way, does not include city parks, municipal parking lots, and operating uh or operates means that the vendor uh parks and dispenses services.

E.

Move mobile food vendors are otherwise subject to operational conditions and restrictions set out in chapter 17.06 of the same code, and F, the license uh issued under this chapter must be posted in conspicuous location with the vendor's mobile food unit and visible to customers of the mobile food vendor.

Now that's the what every mobile food vendor gets, whether or not they're I mean that's that pertains to every mobile food vendor, whether or not they're operating in the parks.

Um they are operating in the parks, they do have to agree to a uh they enter into a license agreement with us for mobile food services in public parks.

Um you guys have that uh in your uh packets tonight.

I'm gonna read a little bit of that for education for everybody as well.

Um I'm not gonna read the whole thing, uh, but I'd like to get into the agreement part.

Uh number two on the agreement license area.

The license area granted herein includes community park, rotary park, Ken Bovard Park, Dean Hackett Park, Colorado River Nasser Center, and their established parking areas.

Uh the terms for mobile food vendors are one year.

So if I get it on January 1st, it's good through December 31st.

If I get it on August 4th, as this example has right here, it's good through August 3rd of 2020.

August 4th, 2023, good till August 3rd, 2024.

Um rent, the vendor shall pay in full concert, or excuse me, in full concurrent with the execution of this license in the amount of 500 for one year.

Now they are uh able to get a pass for a date.

They can do that whenever they want.

If that works out for them, they think they did great, they want to do it again, then they could come and get the whole license.

Most people get the whole license right from the start, they get a whole year permit.

Number five, conditions.

A prior to issuance of this license, a vendor must provide the city a current license or permit issued by the Mojave County Health Department authorizing the services provided by the unit.

Of course, we want everyone out there to be compliant with what's going on in health department.

We don't want anyone out there to make people sick in our parks because they're not complying with it, what the health department requires.

Prior to issuance of this license, vendor must possess a city business license.

C vendor is responsible for the proper accounting and submission of all applicable transaction privilege tax returns.

Prior to issuance of this license, the vendor must provide proof of insurance as set out in paragraph eight below the endorsement.

Listing the city as additional insured may be provided with two business within two business business days of the issuance of this license.

E.

And you know what?

And I'll go back on that one too.

One of the things that I I think a lot of people don't necessarily understand is that they have to have the endorsement with their insurance.

I mean, just having a certificate of additional insured uh for us is nice, but um most people I don't think initially understand that without the endorsement, it's not effective, it's not covering us.

So we require that endorsement with everything we do at any time.

Anybody needs to be insured through this uh with the city.

Um vendor may not enter any portion of the park that is under special event permit uh from a sponsor other than a city without first uh coordinating with and obtaining if necessary necessary a separate vendor permit for that event.

It is the vendor's duty and not the cities to determine if the nature of any event for which it desires to be uh desires to provide services.
