Council members discussed a previously passed ordinance requiring registration of mobile vendors and reviewed proposed fee options ahead of the 2026 registration year.
Mister Hutchison presented a comparison of surrounding communities and said Ohio’s average annual fee is $122; he recommended $100 as a reasonable annual registration fee for mobile vendors. Hutchison described an annual certificate/sticker approach, not a per‑location fee, and reported that the registration process this year had required staff follow‑up for some vendors who were not aware of the rule.
Council members raised practical enforcement and bookkeeping concerns and asked whether waivers or distinctions should apply. One member recommended not tying fees to locations, and staff noted certificates would be processed through the building department rather than posted like occupancy permits.
Council indicated general support for setting the fee near $100 and asked staff to update the official fee schedule and codify the registration details, including the certificate process and whether waivers may be granted for certain organizations.
