ITEM EXPLANATION In October, 1982, the City Council adopted a number of County health regulations by reference inadvertently including a section that would allow the operation of "hot trucks" in the City of Carlsbad. This is contrary to the City Council action of December, 1978, when the Council decided not to adopt the specific portion of the County Health Regulations that would allow the operation of "hot trucks" in the City of Carlsbad. In January, 1985, a request was made to discuss the issue with the City Council. A public hearing was set, all operators were notified and on February 5, 1985, the Council heard the arguments relating to hot food trucks. Council then directed staff to allow a six month trial period of operation. At the end of this time the Manager was to report back on the results of the trial period. The trial period was from February 5, 1985 to August 5, 1985. During this period, the Police and Fire Departments indicate that there has been no reported problems with hot food trucks within Carlsbad in the past six months. The County Health Department, however, has conducted sixteen inspections of eleven trucks, and has found 38 separate violations of the County Health Code. In the County's opinion, the cleanliness and food handling techniques were not acceptable on several occasions. A recent inspection of a hot truck conducted by the City's Fire Marshall indicated that the trucks appeared to meet requirements for safe public access to the outside of the vehicle. The standards for the interior of the vehicle are set by other agencies and are not within the control of the City. The opponents of hot food trucks maintain that the vehicles pose a serious danger to the public health and the safety of operators. They point out a lack of health department enforcement as a major problem. The mobile nature of the truck makes them very difficult to locate and therefore to inspect. The operators also state that the cook will routinely stand and cook while the truck is in motion. The exposure to hot coffee, fat and burners is a danger to the operators. The practice of allowing or disallowing "hot trucks" varies. The County of San Diego allows "hot trucks" in the unincorporated areas of the County. The cities of La Mesa, El Cajon, San Marcos and Carlsbad also allow "hot trucks" within their jurisdiction. There are three "hot truck" operators licensed to operate in Carlsbad. PAGE 2 OF AB San Marcos, in adopting a recent ordinance allowing the operation of hot trucks, has added the restriction that both the driver and the cook must be seated while the vehicle is in motion. The County Sheriff is empowered to cite the operator for an infraction of this ordinance. In summary, Council's policy prior to 1982 was to deny hot truck operators access to Carlsbad. The adoption of County Health regulations in October of 1982 by reference allowed hot trucks to operate within the City. There have been no reported accidents or complaints regarding hot food trucks in the six months between the public hearing in February 1985, and the date of this report. The recommended action would allow hot food trucks to continue to operate in Carlsbad under the control of existing City, County and State regulations. FISCAL IhPACT The operation of hot trucks within the City has little fiscal impact. The business license fees paid by operators are minor and sales tax is not collected on most items sold.

COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SERVICES 1700 Pacific Highway, San Diego, CA 92101 JAMES A. FORDE, Director OFFICE OF DEPUTY DIRECTOR PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES July 30, 1985 Frank Aleshire City Manager City of Carlsbad 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, CA '92008 RE: MOBILE FOOD PREPARATION TRUCKS, CITY OF CARLSBAD Dear Mr. Aleshire: In February 1985, your City Council passed an ordinance allowing mobile food preparation vehicles to operate in your city for six months while Department of Health Services monitored their operation. This is in response to your request for a report on our findings on the operation of these vehicles in your city and adjacent area. The Department of Health Services' staff has made a total of 16 inspections of 11 different mobile food preparation vehicles in the City of Carlsbad. The following are the major violations noted and the number of times the violations were noted: a) Vehicle or equipment not clean b) Open, uncovered food displays c) Perishable foods stored at improper temperatures d) No hot water for hand washing e) Hand washing sinks used for storage and not available for hand washing f) No hand washing soap g) No individual, single service towels h) Food (stew) prepared at home and sold from truck i) No hair coverings on cooks Times 7 5 3 3 3 3 7 1 6 As can be seen from the summary, cleanliness and food handling techniques were not acceptable on several occasions. <v U3 1985 City of CARLSBAD Frank Aleshire -2- July 30, 1985 If you desire, a member of our staff is available to meet with you or attend your City Council Meeting relative to this matter. Please call Ray Redmond, our Assistant Chief of Environmental Health Protection, at 236-2243. Very truly yours, DONALD 6. RAMRAS, M.D., Health Officer and Deputy Director for Public Health Services DGR:TWT:dmc cc: R. Redmond AUGUST 8, 1985 TO: JIM ELLIOTT, FINANCE DIRECTOR FROM: Robert Vales, Police Captain MOBILE FOOD PREPARATION TRUCKS The police department has not experienced any incidents to date involving the "hot trucks". There are occasional complaints from businesses involving both hot and cold who vend on private property where there is a business (e.g. delicatessen) which feels adversely affected. ROBERT VALES, CAPTAIN RBV:db August 9, 1985 TO: FINANCE DIRECTOR FROM: Fire Chief MOBILE FOOD PREPARATION VEHICLES This is to confirm that to date we have experienced no emergencies involving mobile food preparation vehicles. It is my opinion that although the potential for serious injury to the operators exists due to the presence of hot grease, and hot water in the rear of the unit, the potential is significantly reduced if the occupants are seated in the front of the vehicle during transit. It is reasonable to expect the operators to recognize the hazards to which they are exposed when they attempt to prepare food while the vehicle is in motion. In addition the manufacturers instructions state that fuel supplying the cooking equipment is to be shut off when the vehicle is in transit. The public does not enter these vehicles, and since the inherent hazard should be obvious to operators, it is my opinion that a local ordinance regulating proceaures inside the vehicle can do little to enhance the safety of the occupants.

Fees have been developed to charge the persons benefitting from each of these services. These fees are adjusted annually to recover costs. Industry representatives have been consulted on all revised fees and they have approved proposed changes. This years adjustments include only minor adjustments of food related fees with the exception of Hot Food Trucks. The fee for hot trucks is raised to reflect increased direct costs. Fees for Land Use and Development have been adjusted an average of only 10.7% to cover the cost of approving an increasingly complex number of building lots. Each proposal has to be reviewed more carefully than ever because of more difficult building conditions and tighter regulations. Fees for direct costs. Hazardous Materials Surveillance are raised 11% to cover the increase in This request also includes several new fees. One new series of fees is for small water companies which we are required to regulate by State Law and which provide water to thousands of rural area residents. Currently, our staff is providing this professional inspection service without charge. We believe this service should be paid for by those benefitting most from this service. Another new fee is proposed to cover the costs incurred in approving new solid waste facilities. Every new facility must meet certain health regulations before operation is begun. This service is currently provided free of charge. A new fee is proposed for swimming pool regulation. The current fees allows for only 2 field inspections per year. However, most pools in San Diego County operate all year long and should be inspected more frequently. The new fees will allow 2 more Continued on attached ORDINANCE RESOLUTION N/fl (CITIZENS COMMITTEE STAT5MEN"E yE G AGREEMENT/CONTRACT NO.[CIVIL SERVICE AP°RCVAL MEEDcD G YES APPROVED 3Y CCUNTV COUNSEL AS TO LEGALITY % YES /*4*initials G NOT APPLICABLE STANDARD FORM CONTRACT REVIEW PANEL ACTION Q AP==!OVSD Q DISAPPROVED NOT A?3L!CASL = CONCURRENCES -If ADCI!CSO<«) N/A AUDITOR APCROVAL NEEDED {£ v£5 'initials D NO |pl.\.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: continued -2- inspections per pool, or 4 inspections each year. The inspection frequency will provide a better level of protection to the public by making the pool operators keep their pools in safe operation all year long. In addition, we have proposed a new schedule for plan check fees. Experience has shown the current fee. to be an unnecessary burden to the small business operator and too little a charge for the costs of reviewing larger operations. Therefore, the new graduated scale has been proposed. All other fees have been reviewed and adjusted as needed. Most fees have not been changed from the Fiscal Year 84-85 levels. If the cost report shows more than a 10% increase over the current fee, we will usually raise the fee only 10% the first year. This approach is taken because of the variability of the data and the unacceptability of large fee increases. If the cost report shows the establishment cost to be less than the "current fees, we wiTl usually wait for additional evidence of these reduced costs before lessening the fee, also because of the variability between periods. If the costs show a reduction is in order after another 6 months we will usually reduce the fee accordingly. Board Policy B29 was followed for all calculations. The best available data was used to arrive at a fair and accurate cost for each fee. In some cases the current year costs showed a larger than expected increase was necessary. However, if the calculations from the previous year showed a much lower increase was in order, an average cost was used to set the new fee. We feel this approach is the fairest to the public and allows for the variability in the cost data from year to year. EXPLANATION OF CROSS-OUT & UNDERLINING The FY 85-86 Proposed Fee Ordinance has been reorganized from last years' version. The EHP program continues to expand and adding new fee categories to the end of the previous ordinance caused a lot of confusion. The new ordi- nance is organized by major program areas: Food, Housing, Public Pools, Landuse, Small Water Systems, Plan Checks, Solid Waste, Hazardous Materials and Misc- ellaneous. We believe this grouping to be more logical and easier to read. The procedure for ordinance changes requires all new material to be underlined and all revised or deleted material to be crossed out. This means, if a food fee was moved to a new location in the ordinance, it must appear as first crossed out and then underlined in the new location. Therefore, most underlined sections do not contain new fees but are simply moved to a more logical location. If a new fee has been proposed, it will appear in the new location. Old fees will appear in the former location. It is hoped this explanation will avoid confusion; however, if there are questions, please contact Bob Romaine or Ray Redmond per our cover letter. ALSO: There has been some interest from Cities to make their fee changes automatic, i.e., not requiring a separate adoption by the city council. If this is desired, some sample wording from the San Diego City Code is shown below: "SEC. 41.07.1 HEALTH PERMIT FEES - GENERAL - ANNUAL INSPECTION FEE Except as otherwise specifically provided in this chapter, every person applying for a permit under the provisions of this ctiapter shall at the time of making application for such permit pay a fee, the exact amount which shall be determined by the County of San Diego and kept on record by the County Department of Health Services and on file in the City Clerk's Composite Rate Book " ORDINANCE NO. _ (NEW SERIES) AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND AND TO ADD TO SECTION 65.107 OF THE COUNTY CODE OF REGULATORY ORDINANCE RELATING TO HEALTH AND SANITATION AND LAND USE FEES The Board of Supervisors of the County of San Diego do ordain as follows: Section 1.
