RESOLUTION NO. 2019-15
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI , ALASKA, AMENDING ITS
COMPREHENSIVE SCHEDULE OF RATES , CHARGES, AND FEES TO AMEND THE FEE FOR
MOBILE FOOD VENDOR LICENSES.
WHEREAS , in 1978, the City established regulations for Mobile Food Vendor Licenses and
associated fees which were $120 for one year of issuance with the option of a shorter duration
and proportionately reduced fee; and,
WHEREAS, through Ordinance 3048-2019 , the City amended certain regulations to simplify the
mobile food vendor licensing process, including an annual calendar year license term; and,
WHEREAS, the fee is not intended to generate revenue, however, the licensing process is
intended to educate licensees about the requirements for operating in the City and cover minimal
administration costs ; and,
WHEREAS, setting the fee for the Mobile Food Vendor License at $50 recognizes that the
vendors typically don't operate in the winter months but by having a license which is a full year
provides the opportunity to operate in shoulder or off season events they may have declined in
the past due to not being licensed and makes the fee comparable to other nearby municipalities.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA:
Section 1. The Mobile Food Vendor section of the City's Comprehensive Schedule of Rates ,
Charges and Fees be amended as follows :
MOBILE FOOD VENDOR LICENSE
5.25.050
Section 2 .
Annual Mobile Food Vendor License $120.00 $50.00
(License may be purchased on a 30 day basis .)
That this resolution takes effect April 5, 2019 to coincide with Ordinance No . 3048-
2019.
ADOPTED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, A LASKA, this 201h day of March, 2019.

Resolut ion No. 2019-15-Mobile Food Vendor License Fee
As a companion to Ordinance No. 3048-2019, this resolution proposes an amendment to the fee
schedule for Mobile Food Vendor Licenses. A part of the intent of Ordinance No . 3048-2019 and the
intent of th is resolution is to simplify the licensing by providing a calendar year term, giving the vendor
a license which is good for an entire year, at a reasonable cost. The intent for this licensing program
is to educate the licensees about the requirements for operating in the City and for that reason, it is
unnecessary for the vendors to come in multiple times per year to e xtend or get a new license. The
reduction in the fee from $120 per year to $50 per makes the fee comparable to other c ities that license
Mobile Food Vendors such as Palme r, Seward, and Soldotna. Additionally, by providing a full, one-
year term , the vendors would have the opportunity to participate in a shoulder or off-season event
which they may have declined in the past due to not being licensed.
Your consideration is appreciated .
