At that time, the Council was also provided with draft <br />ordinance language for their consideration. The City Council was supportive of the proposed <br />ordinance and recommended fee requirements and directed staff to bring this item forward for <br />adoption and approval. <br /> <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />Ordinance 2017-010 would amend the City Code to create licensing requirements for mobile <br />food units/food trucks. Over the last several years the City has seen an increase in the number of <br />food trucks operating in the City, especially at corporate campuses, such as Boston Scientific and <br />Land O’Lakes, and at special events. The purpose of the proposed Ordinance is to establish <br />minimum licensing, insurance, safety, and performance standards for these types of businesses. <br />
