Roxbury selectmen send proposed food-truck ordinance to public hearing and town meeting
Summary
Roxbury selectmen voted 3-0 to advance a lawyer-reviewed food-truck ordinance to a public hearing (the 7/14 workshop will become the hearing) and then to town meeting for final consideration.
Selectman Timothy Derouche moved on July 2, 2026 to advance a proposed Food Truck Ordinance to a public hearing and then to town meeting; Selectman Matthew Patneaude seconded and the board voted 3-0 to approve the procedural move.
The vote changes the board’s planned July 14 workshop into a public hearing so residents may comment before the ordinance is placed on the town meeting warrant. Derouche said the board had received the draft back from the town lawyer and that advancing it to a hearing was the next step.
The action does not adopt the ordinance; it only schedules the public hearing and later town meeting consideration. No specific ordinance language or implementation details were read into the record during the special meeting. The board did not record any amendments or conditions when it moved the item to a hearing.
The hearing will provide an opportunity for residents to comment and for selectmen to consider any changes before the ordinance is placed on the town meeting warrant for final action.
