 Bill Synopsis: This ordinance amends portions of Chapter 8 of the Revised Code of
 the City of St. Louis relating to mobile food vending operations. The
 bill modifies vending district definitions, operating distances, and
 hours of operation; establishes a mobile food court pilot program;
 authorizes mobile food vending in designated City parks; and assigns
 administrative responsibilities to City departments including
 mapping, permitting coordination, regulatory oversight, and creation
 of public-facing vendor and comment portals. The bill also maintains
 provisions governing vendor permit fees.
 Type of Impact: Potential Cost / Potential Revenue — Indeterminate

 Agencies Affected: Department of Streets;
 Department of Parks, Recreation & Forestry;
 Board of Public Service;
 License Collector;
 Information Technology Services Agency (administrative support
 potential);
 Health Department (oversight related to food permitting
 compliance).



 SECTION A
 Does this bill authorize:

• An expansion of services which entails additional costs beyond that approved in the current
 adopted city budget? __X__Yes No

• An undertaking of a new service for which no funding is provided in the current adopted city
 budget? __X__Yes No

 (01/2017)


 Page 21 of 24
• A commitment of city funding in the future under certain specified conditions?
 ____Yes X No

• An issuance of bonds, notes and lease-purchase agreements which may require additional
 funding beyond that approved in the current adopted city budget? ____Yes X No

• An execution or initiation of an activity as a result of federal or state mandates or requirements?
 ____Yes X No

• A capital improvement project that increases operating costs over the current adopted city
 budget? ____Yes X. No

• A capital improvement project that requires funding not approved in the current adopted city
 budget or that will require funding in future years? ____Yes X No

If the answer is yes to any of the above questions, then a fiscal note must be attached to the
 board bill. Complete Section B of the form below.
 SECTION B

• Does the bill require the construction of any new physical facilities? ____Yes __X__No

 o If yes, describe the facilities and provide the estimated cost:
 ____________________________________________________________________
 ____________________________________________________________________
 ____________________________________________________________________
 ____________________________________________________________________
 ____________________________________________________________________

• Is the bill estimated to have a direct fiscal impact on any city department or office?
 __X__Yes ____No

 o If yes, explain the impact and the estimated cost:

The ordinance assigns administrative responsibilities to City departments including development
and maintenance of vending zone maps, management of vendor participation in parks, operation
of reservation and comment portals, and oversight of a mobile food court pilot program. These
functions may require staff time or operational support. Estimated costs cannot be determined at
this time and would depend on departmental implementation.

• Does the bill create a program or administrative subdivision? __X__Yes ____No

 o If yes, then is there a similar existing program or administrative subdivision?
 __X__Yes ____No

 2

 Page 22 of 24
 o If yes, explain the how the proposed programs or administrative subdivisions may
 overlap:

Administrative oversight of vending and permitting already exists within City operations. The
proposed mobile food court pilot and park vending coordination would expand responsibilities
within existing departmental structures rather than establish standalone entities.

• Describe the annual operating, equipment, and maintenance costs that would result from the
 proposed bill, as well as any funding sources:
