Greg Q's -2 day/1 truck:
I think gets back to when, if I can, Council needs to decide in giving us direction — What you all mean by
"mobile"? Does that mean you are defining that as to a lot, that you can't have food trucks there every day?
Is that what you mean by "it needs to be mobile?" Because the discussion we are having gets to that legal
point; do you mean that one food truck owner can only be there 2 days and off 1, but someone else can come
there for 2 days; so it's technically continuous. Or by mobile do you mean "days"or is it just"hours" that you
don't want food trucks on particular parcels? So, Council is going to need to decide that legal issue of how
do you want"mobile" to be effectuated.
The Direction we are being given is as clear as mud.
Greg re: Grandfathering in Jose Cruz, 300 N Parrott Ave
I think for us, you're asking for us to revise an Ord it would be better for us to just get direction from where
Council is, and if Council is not unified in where they want to go, to ask us to provide a more detailed Ords
for your consideration; OR I know the City Admin created a spreadsheet that shows what local areas are
doing. Maybe in order to review that we can always pull their Ords and provide those to you all so you can
review those as well. We can do (you know, based on your direction) we can draft whatever you'd like us to
draft, but we want to make sure that Council is at a point where they are ready to expend the fees for us to
do that—and if you're not at that point yet, I don't want to waste your fees drafting.
GREG:
There may also be, and again, lye not researched this & I don't dream about this stuff each night. But there
may be FL administrative Code Rules that have actually expanded on the Statute and we can always check
on that. Because often times FL Administrative Code will go into a little bit more detail.
Why Not Make it a SE? (Q from DW)
I'm concerned that that can run afoul of 509.102 (2)(a), that really does limit the types of permits, fees,
registrations, or licenses that they require under State pre-emption. I would really want to see if there is any
case law on that or if there has been any administrative guidance as to whether we can do it; because the...
Not to insult the drafters of that Statute, but it leaves much to be desired, and I think...
The reality is that because of the pre-emption language it is difficult to know, when they were drafting this,
were they assuming that a SE would fall into quote unquote "licenses, registrations, permits, and fees"; and
so, if the desire of Council is maybe go the SE route, I would want to see if there has been any litigation on
it, and admin guidance,or the other localities who have implemented a similar regime—what sort of feedback
they've received. We are in somewhat uncharted territory on this because it is relatively new and I want to _
make sure that we give Council the very best advise we possibly can because my eyes I don't always want
Council, or the City, to get sued or to run afoul of State Law or Admin Guidance.
Lot owner has to apply for SE and pay fees &food truck would just be there (GR)
That could be; again, I'd want to see some guidance on that because I also don't want to say Let's do
something that's"cute" knowing that other people have tried it and if it's not gone well. That said, if I can find
guidance or other municipalities or counties who have tried that & it's worked, then I can certainly support
that more; but it's just that this issue is really new.And so each city and each kind has implemented this. The
reason why it looks so different is because everyone is kind of having the same or similar discussions. "How
do we implement this? How do we do it in a way the State can't come after us?" and so, I'm happy to dig
further into the SE issue, I'm happy to look further into what you've suggested if we push that over to the
landowner.

Looking for AG Opinion (DW)
If we get to a point where there is a reason for it, we could. I mean, there is, absolutely, Cities ask all the time
for AG opinions and it is possible that something like this has come up before the AG before; so I can certainly
look at that.
I will look into the SE issue, I will look into AG Opinions and whether we are at a point we need to. I can look
into the definitions in FL Admin Code to see if there has been any expansion. We can also determine,though,
even if there is an absence of those, if there is a greater definition for more permanent restaurant structures
that would let us know on how to define this. And we can come back with further guidance for you all. And
hopefully at that point Council will be able to digest it. If need be, I'm sure Ben could explain what was the
intention in drafting and we can go from there.
