NEW BUSINESS
Discuss Potential Ordinance Regulating Food Trucks
Mayor Petfalski stated that the Municipal Code is currently silent when it comes to food trucks.
He is looking for direction from the Committee to determine if there is any interest in establishing
regulations. Some of the brick and mortar restaurants have stated that they pay taxes and have
an investment in the community. They have expressed their objection to the presence of food
trucks in the City without any rules in place.
The Mayor suggested at a minimum that a permit be required. If a food truck becomes a
regular part of an established business, an amendment to the Building, Site and Operation Plan
should be required.
Alderperson Hammel would like to see what other communities are doing. He does not want to
place a heavy burden on the food trucks to discourage them from operating.
The consensus of the Committee was to have staff research the regulation of food trucks. City
Attorney Warchol stated he has sample ordinances from other communities.
COMMUNICATIONS AND ANY OTHER BUSINESS AS AUTHORIZED BY LAW
