Summary

Council took up a first reading of a food‑truck ordinance requested by Public Works, but members raised questions about fees on private property and planning‑and‑zoning review; the council voted to table the item and send it to a committee of the whole.

The council heard the first reading of a proposed food‑truck ordinance introduced at Public Works' request and debated whether the draft would apply to private property and whether the city could impose fees on vendors operating on private lots.

A council member moved to table the ordinance and refer it to a committee of the whole for further discussion; the motion was seconded and approved. Council members asked staff to ensure planning and zoning input and to clarify whether fees would apply to private properties.

No final decision on ordinance text or fee authority was made; the item will return to the council after committee review.
