Description

Fines Related to O-25-26, Mobile Food Service Vendors - Historic District Special Events For the purpose of updating the Fiscal Year 2027 Fines Schedule, § 7.40.095, “Peddler, hawkers, and itinerant merchants violations,” to include mobile food service vendor violations in connection with the adoption of O-25-26.

Summary

Resolution R-32-26 updates Annapolis’s Fiscal Year 2027 Fines Schedule to establish penalties for mobile food service vendors operating in violation of City Code § 7.40.095. It follows Ordinance O-25-26, which restores mobile food vendors’ ability to participate in Historic District special events organized by qualifying business associations or the City. The resolution sets a $1,000 fine for both initial and repeat or continuous violations, compared with $200 for other peddler, hawker, and itinerant merchant violations. Implementation requires a one-time update to the permitting and licensing system, with no anticipated staffing increase. Fine revenue would depend on enforcement and vendor compliance.
