Food Trucks...Finally.

Well it's been an interesting road but last night we approved a food truck ordinance at Council.  There was a lot of discussion over the past few weeks.  The major points at issue were...

1. Locations allowed

2. Frequency

3. Permitting and Licensing

I was an advocate for having one license to do business in MWC on any commercial property with the landowners consent.  The goal here was to make sure we have safe and reliable vendors, but make sure that the barriers to entry are manageable.  If it needs to be tweaked in the future we can do that, but I wanted to start from that point and move forward.  We agreed to a $250 license (similar to other cities).  Food trucks will need to have the proper health licenses, and OSBI background checks, and keep records up to date.

This will hopefully be an opportunity for people to come out in a sense of community.  I am really excited to see what comes our way.  Thanks to everyone who came out to meetings and contacted me about this issue.
