TO AMEND TITLE 4 OF THE BLOOMINGTON MUNICIPAL CODE ENTITLED “BUSINESS LICENSES AND REGULATIONS” - Re: Chapter 4.16 (Itinerant Merchants, Solicitors and Peddlers – deleted and replaced); Chapter 4.28 (Mobile Vendors - added); and Chapter 4.30 (Pushcarts - added)

This ordinance does three things. First, it repeals the chapter regulating itinerantmerchants, solicitors and peddlers and replaces it with a chapter regulating onlysolicitors. Solicitors have been defined to mean a person who requests anything ofvalue for the taking of orders of goods or the immediate delivery of goods. Second,it adds a new chapter to the Title which regulates the licensing of mobile foodvendors. Third, it adds a new chapter to the Title which regulates the licensing ofpushcart operators. The purposes of these changes are twofold: (1) to streamlinethe current licensing and permitting process for these types of activities; and (2) toencourage, within necessary parameters, the development of smaller businessesthat enhance the community.
