Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This ordinance would require all street vendors selling food to provide a 10-gallon garbage can within their food vending site. Under the current vending regulations, there are specific requirements for Food Vendors within the "State Street Mall/Capitol Concourse" but there are very few rules for street vendors selling food outside that area. This ordinance makes it clear that all food vending sites are 10 feet by 12 feet and that all food vendors, regardless of location, must have a trash can located within their vending site, for their customers to dispose of their trash.
