The new agreement utilizes much of the same language as the 1998 agreement. Under the new agreement the City agrees to not initiate, publicly support, or fund any action to annex any property anywhere in Lenox Township. The Township agrees to not initiate, publicly support, or fund any action to detach any property anywhere from the City of Richmond.

A roll call vote was taken: All yeas (Greene, LaFore, Misteravich, Reindel, Rix, Warn, Allen) Motion passes 6. Consideration of Food Truck Request City Manager Moore informed Council that we have received a request from Maria Villanueva and Fortino Trejo to allow them to sell food from their food truck in the City on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Maria and Fortino are City residents. They intend to sell tacos and tamales out of their food truck. They are currently working with the health department to get certified. There are several ways Council can direct administration: 1) Council can approve them as a special event application and have them operate out of one of the municipal owned CCM: 06/17/2019 Page 4 of 7 APPROVED 07/01/2019 parking lots – this could be done tonight; 2) Council could direct the applicant to secure a location in a private parking lot and have the item reviewed by the Planning Commission as an addition to the site plan; 3) If Council needs more information, you could direct administration to place this on the July 22nd Quarterly Roundtable. Maria Villanueva would appreciate any opportunity the City can provide and any guidance to allow her to operate a food truck. She is currently working with the health department, but she needs a location which can be indicated on her application for the health department. Misteravich – Would like to discuss this item further at a workshop, but would also like to have another motion to allow Maria to begin operating her food truck. Eventually, would like to see the food truck operated on private property. Motion by Reindel, seconded by Warn¸ to approve the request from “Rolling Cactus LLC” to allow a food truck on Friday, Saturday and Sundays during summer months in the municipal parking lot. Council discussed that this would be a temporary, seasonal operation. Most agreed that this would be a good opportunity to see if this was a viable business. Some Councilors would like the applicant to pursue a private, more permanent location. Rix – Would be voting against the motion. Did not feel he had enough information about food trucks to make a decision tonight. He would also like feedback from existing restaurants. Questioned if the City was setting a precedence or could each food truck request be taken on a case-by-case basis. Questioned what type of authority the City would have over a food truck. The City currently did not have an ordinance regulating food trucks – felt that an ordinance should be in place before this was approved. Vote on Motion: Six yeas (Allen, Greene, LaFore, Misteravich, Reindel, Warn) One nay (Rix) Motion passes Motion by Misteravich, seconded by LaFore, to direct Administration to place this item on the July 22nd quarterly roundtable. All yeas Motion passes CCM: 06/17/2019 Page 5 of 7 APPROVED 07/01/2019 7. Consideration of the Approval of the Mutual Detachment and Annexation Forbearance Agreement Motion by LaFore, seconded by Misteravich, to approve the Mutual Detachment and Annexation Forbearance Agreement between the City of Richmond and Lenox Township and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign on behalf of the City.
