ASSEMBLY AGENDA/MANAGER'S REPORT
THE CITY AND BOROUGH OF JUNEAU, ALASKA

Ordinance 2021-39 An Ordinance Removing or Extending the Sunset Date Relating to Licenses to Use Certain Rights-of-Way for the Selling of Food and Beverages.

MANAGER'S REPORT:

In the spring of 2017, Ordinance 2017-02 was enacted, which created licensing standards for use of certain rights-of-ways for selling food and beverages. Section 5 of Ordinance 2017-02 imposed an automatic repeal clause (sunset date) of December 31, 2018, which was extended to December 31, 2021, by Ordinance 2018-46. The licensing standards created by Ordinance 2017-02 have been used by food and beverage vendors without issue in the last four years.

 

Due to uncertainty on the success and public support on the use of rights-of-ways under this ordinance, it was a policy choice of the Assembly to adopt the sunset date. The Manager is unaware of adverse effects or substantive negative public comments and recommends that the sunset date be extended or eliminated as proposed in this ordinance.

 


RECOMMENDATION:

The City Manager recommends the Assembly adopt this ordinance.
