Benton County approves Chick-fil-A food truck to operate near courthouse, with verification
Summary
The board approved use of space for a Chick‑fil‑A food truck near the courthouse, noting the vendor holds a city permit and the county will verify whether the truck will be on the street or lawn before finalizing conditions.
The Benton County Board voted to approve a request to allow a Chick‑fil‑A food truck to operate adjacent to the courthouse, subject to verification about whether the vendor will operate on the street or the courthouse lawn and any required stipulations.
Speaker 2 introduced the agenda item and said the truck was expected to be positioned on the street rather than on county grounds. "We can pass it on the grounds. Let me give him a call after the meeting to make sure it's gonna be on the street," Speaker 2 said, describing plans to confirm logistics before the vendor posts or begins operations.
Speaker 5 reported the vendor has a vendor permit from the city of Benton and provided proposed operating hours of "11 to 1 and 04:30 to 06:30." The board moved and seconded the measure and called for a vote; members present voiced approval.
The board noted the county does not own the street and that coordination with the City of Benton may be needed for any activity that occurs on city-owned right-of-way. Speaker 2 said he would call the vendor following the meeting to confirm whether the truck would be on the street and to discuss any stipulations.
