Thayne council approves two housing ordinances, discusses mobile‑food‑truck rules
Summary
At its Aug. 16 meeting the Thayne Town Council approved second readings of Ordinance 381 (Travel Trailer Parks) and Ordinance 382 (Mobile Home Parks). The council also discussed Ordinance 383 (Mobile Food Truck permit) and asked a councilmember to review insurance requirements used by other towns.
The Thayne Town Council on Aug. 16 approved second readings of two ordinances revising rules for Travel Trailer Parks and Mobile Home Parks and discussed proposed rules for mobile food trucks.
Mayor Simpson led the discussion and the council voted to adopt the second reading of Ordinance 381 (Town of Thayne Travel Trailer Parks). Councilmember Heward moved the motion, Councilmember Pelletier seconded it, and the motion carried. The council then approved the second reading of Ordinance 382 (Town of Thayne Mobile Home Parks); Councilmember Passey moved that motion, Councilmember Woolley seconded it, and the motion carried.
The approvals were routine on second reading and the council did not record extended debate in the transcript. Councilmembers then discussed Ordinance 383, a proposed Mobile Food Truck ordinance and permit application. Councilmember Heward said he would investigate how much insurance other towns require for food‑truck permits; the transcript does not record a council vote on Ordinance 383 during the Aug. 16 meeting.
Why it matters: Ordinances governing travel‑trailer and mobile‑home parks set local standards for placement, sanitation, and permitting that affect housing options and land use. The mobile‑food‑truck discussion could affect downtown vending, health‑inspections compliance and insurance requirements for permit holders.
What’s next: The council approved the second readings of Ordinances 381 and 382 at the meeting. No final action on Ordinance 383 is recorded; Councilmember Heward said he will report back after checking other towns’ insurance requirements. The meeting adjourned at 8:17 p.m.
