What this means next Several of the approvals are procedural steps that allow staff to proceed with grant applications, vendor licensing and youth worksite placements. The amended mobile-vendor ordinance updates city code to align with state health-and-safety requirements; the council did not record any amendments to the ordinance during the meeting. Implementation steps and any required staff reports were not specified in the meeting record and are to be carried out by city staff as appropriate.
