Council approves short-term permit for two food trucks at performing arts hub
The council approved a special permit to allow two food trucks to operate in two spaces in front of the Performing Arts Hub, the council announced during a brief meeting that ended at 11:49 a.m. The permit was requested under ordinance section 11-301 governing temporary structures and related provisions.

Kelly, staff member, told the council, “what we're asking you to do, is the ordinance section 11 dash 3 0 1, temporary structures and way. We're asking for you to provide a special permit, for 2 food trucks.” Kelly also said the event would move forward if the Community Loan Fund sponsors it.

Jim, council member, moved to approve the permit. A second was made; the council then held a voice vote. The presiding official called for ayes and, after hearing none opposed, said the item was approved. The meeting record does not show a numbered roll-call tally.

Discussion was brief. The presiding official remarked, “I'm glad that it wasn't, later. The hours weren't going later because if it if we're going later into the night, then I think there'd be more of a question about, you know, whether the generators would, cause too much noise for interfering with the, plight of the neighborhood.” No formal restrictions on hours or generators were recorded in the motion during the meeting.

John, staff member, was present and available for additional detail but did not add substantive remarks on the record. The meeting then proceeded to close routine reports and adjourned at 11:49 a.m.
