Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS:   This ordinance creates an exception to the prohibition against using generators at food vending sites in the 700 and 800 blocks of State Street (Library Mall). The exception will only allow generators to be used as emergency back-up power when regular power is lost.  Otherwise, generators will remain prohibited at that location.
