In <br />order to operate we are asking for a variance or altera~ion <br />in city codes regarding noise. <br /> <br />Blue Bell Ice Cream is a locally-based food vending company <br />that has been in business since 1976. Currently, we operate <br />throughout Minneapolis and St. Paul, and in the surrounding <br />communities of Richfield, St. Lou~s Park, Arden Hills and <br />Little Canada. In the past two years the cities of Richfield, <br />St. Louis Park, Arden Hills and Little Canada have altered <br />their ordinances to allow ice cream trucks, and we have been <br />favorably received in these communities. <br /> <br />Blue Bell has main~ained an excellent safety record over the <br />years. Enclosed is a letter from our insurance carrier out- <br />lining our record and our safety program. For example, all <br />vehicles are equipped ~th emergency flashers, and the <br />driving records of all operators are checked with the State <br />Department of Transportation. Our liability is also explained. <br /> <br />Most Blue Bell drivers are college students on summer break. <br />#e find them to be very reliable and conscientious, and many <br />return from summer to summer. Usually we choose people to <br />work in their own communities; this furthers our ice cream <br />truck'S traditional role of bringing people together in a <br />sense of neighborhood. <br /> <br />We propose operating from April through September. We serve <br />25 varieties of ice cream and beverages. All vehicles are <br />equipped with trash receptacles. <br /> <br />We would be happy to work with the city and the city manager <br />to construct guidelines which would allow us to vend ice <br />cream. Thank you for your consideration of this proposal. <br /> <br />Yours truly, <br /> <br />{] ('.? /;::7 17 <br />~4"'''''?A'''''' '~a-z..,2'!>o.-.....--- <br />Glenn Baron <br />President <br /> <br />Enclosures <br />
