positive about the concept and largely about the legislation itself. The administration had sampled cities like Oberlin, Columbus, Cleveland, and others for how they structure things. One point that had resonated was the sense of equity that it provides for our existing restaurants and food establishments in Lakewood — that there would be some fee associated with mobile food service as well. There was suggestion made of an annual permit rather than a one-time permit. Ultimately, the Committee decided that it needed more time to work on the fee structure. Perhaps we can solidify and discuss those fees at a future meeting. So we did move to defer within committee. Motion by Councilmember Litten, seconded by Council President O'Leary to receive and file the report. All members voted in favor. Motion passed. 8. ORDINANCE 44-18 - AN ORDINANCE enacting Chapter 743, Mobile Food Service Operations, of the Lakewood Codified Ordinances to establish regulations on food trucks operating within the City. (Placed on 1St reading & referred to HHS 11/5/18, 2nd reading 11/19/18) (pg. 6) Motion by President O'Leary, seconded by Vice President Anderson to defer Ordinance 44- 18. All members voted in favor. Motion passed. 9. ORDINANCE 76-18 - AN ORDINANCE to take effect at the earliest period allowed by law, enacting Chapter 1727, Cigarette and Tobacco Vendors; Sales to Persons Under 21, of the Codified Ordinances of the City of Lakewood in order to amend and create regulations involving licensing for and sales of tobacco products. (Placed on 1St reading & referred to HHS 12/17/18) (pg. 10) Motion by President O'Leary, seconded by Vice President Anderson to defer Ordinance 76- 18. Director Butler clarified that this Ordinance being on the docket does not have any type of moratorium effect because the proposal is not linked to the Zoning Code and is not proposing a moratorium. He discussed a previous ordinance that proposed a moratorium on certificates of occupancy for vaping retailers and how this ordinance differs. Councilmember Bullock expressed his opinion that there are too many vaping retailers in the City and that he is interested in any legislation related to safeguarding the public against nicotine.
