Council adopts policy change requiring food-truck registration and proof of health clearance on city property
Summary
Council approved a policy change requiring food trucks on city-owned property to register with the city, carry a tax certificate, and show health-department approval and insurance; no fee will be charged under the new policy.
City staff presented and the council designated a policy change to require registration for any food truck operating on city-owned property.
Under the new policy, food vendors must be licensed with the Walbash County Health Department (or an equivalent health department), hold a tax certificate and provide a food-manager certification or health-department temporary approval for short-term setups. Staff said the policy aims to address liability concerns and inconsistent insurance among visiting vendors. The policy as presented carries no application fee but requires vendors to register with city staff.
Council members characterized the change as an administrative policy rather than an ordinance; staff indicated the registration form was updated to reflect the requirements and directed vendors to coordinate with the health department. The transcript does not record implementation dates, enforcement details or a published registration form URL.
