These numbers represent information reported to the City at <br />the time of license application and may not represent the full extent of where licensed trucks <br />operated in the City thereafter. For example, a previously licensed truck may have been <br />subsequently hired at a different residential or non-residential property later in the summer which <br />did not report the event to the City, or an event could have been later cancelled by the vendor or <br />resident, making this difficult to track. <br /> <br />For reference, the Minnesota Department of Health licenses food trucks to ensure safe operation <br />and food preparation standards are met. The City also licenses food trucks that operate in the <br />City to ensure they meet City Ordinance requirements; the City also has the fire department <br />inspect food trucks to ensure they meet minimum fire safety standards. There is no standard on <br />regulating food trucks for Cities, some cities have little to no regulation while others have <br />regulations similar to ours. <br /> <br />Staff is seeking direction on what, if any, changes should be made to the existing ordinance, or if <br />Council is comfortable with it as written. <br /> <br />Budget Impact <br /> <br />N/A <br /> <br />Attachment <br /> <br />Attachment A: June 14, 2021 Memo on Proposed Food Truck Ordinance Changes
