Just wanted to get an update out about the food truck ordinance that was proposed last week. The one proposed by the City, in my opinion, was too burdensome on business owners that wanted to have food trucks out to their businesses as well as those food truck owners who want to come to MWC. I proposed an alternate version that would more closely mimic the ordinance in OKC. As you may know, OKC has had wonderful results with food trucks. They create a sense of community by building an atmosphere where people can come together as well as attracting people from outside their city into the city to eat and shop at local businesses. The Council unfortunately voted to not take action on the proposal, but we will hear it again at the next meeting. I have had numerous conversations with food trucks and traditional business owners, as well as City Staff (They do a great job), I am hoping to have an ordinance that everyone can agree on at the next meeting. I think food trucks will be a win-win for everyone, and am optimistic it will come to fruition next meeting. The meeting will be July 14th at 7pm at the City Council Chambers at Reno and Midwest Blvd, feel free to come out to see what happens or speak to the Council about your ideas/thoughts.
