Summary
The Village Board approved an ordinance amending Village Code sections 5.38.020 and 5.38.040 to permit mobile food trucks at Cary Lake at Rotary Park; trustees said the measure was reviewed at committee and passed by roll call with no recorded objections.
The Village Board on July 1 approved an ordinance amending sections 5.38.020 and 5.38.040 of the Village Code to allow mobile food trucks at Cary Lake at Rotary Park.
Board members said the item was discussed extensively in committee and then moved for approval at the board meeting. The ordinance change alters village code language to expressly permit mobile food trucks at the specified park location under conditions contained in the code.
Why it matters: The amendment creates a straightforward local allowance for mobile vendors at a village park property, a change intended to support food‑service options at village events and park visitors.
The board approved the ordinance by roll call; trustees voiced no objections during the meeting. Director Simmons and other staff had previously reviewed operational and code requirements during committee discussions, the mayor said.
The ordinance amendment will take effect according to the village’s standard ordinance timetable; staff will implement permitting and operational details through existing village processes and code enforcement mechanisms.
Clarifying details from the record: the specific Village Code sections amended were 5.38.020 and 5.38.040; the board noted prior committee discussion; no motion amendments were recorded at the July 1 meeting.
Village staff will follow the ordinance with any required permitting steps for mobile vendors at Cary Lake at Rotary Park.
