The City Council Work Session focused on two primary agenda items: the open container area downtown and mobile vendor parking permit regulations. For the open container area, the Council discussed adjusting the operating hours to 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. to better align with downtown events, while maintaining existing geographic boundaries due to public safety and traffic concerns. Regarding mobile vendor regulations, the Council considered removing the 10-day monthly limit per block, increasing the capacity to allow two vendors per block, and simplifying the fee structure to a flat $25 permit instead of a per-parking-space fee.
