CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
 
City Council Meeting: June 23, 2020
Department: Police Department
Subject: Mobile Food Unit License Reciprocity (MFU) - Workshop discussion and possible action regarding Mobile Food License Reciprocity. (C. Kelm/M. Bane)

BACKGROUND

The Police department and City Sanitarian were tasked with looking into Mobile Food Unit (MFU) permitting reciprocity with other local government agencies for Health and Fire safety inspections.  This presentation defines the laws regulating the local authority's responsibility to perform inspections, the pros and cons of reciprocity, a review of the revenue generated from inspections, and a cost comparison of permitting with other government agencies.  It also explains why inspections are important to the safety of the community, information on a government agency that is currently involved in a reciprocity agreement, along with another government agency that is moving away from reciprocity, and a recommendation if council wishes to move forward with seeking out reciprocity agreements in MFU inspections.
