SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS Somali Community Services Coalition update. Ahmed Jama, Executive Director Mayor Haggerton announced that the City was notified today that Mr. Jama is unable to attend the meeting this evening.

He has a problem with food trucks that park on private property near his businesses. These food trucks do not have City business licenses. His understanding is that Code Enforcement staff cannot cite the food trucks for not having a license, only the landlord of the private property. He emphasized that if his business were to be unlicensed. it would not be the landlord of the building that would be issued a Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 4, 2013 Page 2 of 4 citation. In his view, the food trucks should have to follow the same rules as other businesses, and those rules should be enforced. The Councilmembers asked questions of Mr. Fedor and thanked him for bringing this matter to their attention. They would like to see this issue addressed in a Council Committee. David Cline, City Administrator, explained that this item is on the agenda to be addressed by the Department of Community Development this year.
