The agenda was straightforward, but the excitement in the room was palpable as they turned their attention to a request for food trucks at the upcoming performing arts hub event.
The council quickly moved through preliminary matters, ensuring that all members were present, both in person and remotely. With the agenda approved, the focus shifted to the main topic: a special permit for two food trucks to operate in front of the hub at 35 Main Street. This initiative, backed by the community loan fund, aims to enhance the local arts scene while providing delicious options for attendees.

After a motion to approve the permit was made and seconded, the council members voiced their support. "All those in favor, signify by saying aye," called out the chair, and a chorus of "aye" echoed in agreement. The permit was officially approved, paving the way for the food trucks to join the festivities.
A sense of relief washed over the council as they discussed the event's timing. Concerns about noise from generators were alleviated by the decision to keep the event hours reasonable, ensuring minimal disruption to the surrounding neighborhood.
With the main agenda item concluded, the council swiftly agreed to dispense with additional reports, signaling a productive meeting. As they adjourned at 11:49 AM, the members left with a sense of accomplishment, knowing they had taken a step toward enriching Montpelier's vibrant community life. The food trucks are set to bring not just food, but a sense of togetherness and celebration to the upcoming event, promising a delightful experience for all.
