Three Oaks extends mobile food vendor moratorium, directs draft ordinance
Summary
Council extended the moratorium on mobile food vendors through April 30, 2026, and directed the Village attorney to draft a permanent ordinance with input from the DDA and local businesses.
The Three Oaks Village Council approved Resolution #12-2025-01 on Dec. 10 to extend the existing moratorium on mobile food vendors through April 30, 2026, and asked the Village attorney to prepare a permanent ordinance. Councilmember Thomas moved the resolution; the measure passed unanimously with Hinman absent.
Council minutes state input will be solicited from the Downtown Development Authority and local businesses to reduce negative impacts and that the ordinance could be adopted before the moratorium’s expiration if work is completed sooner. During deliberations, members emphasized balancing business concerns and limited food-truck access while crafting permanent rules.
Why it matters: The moratorium preserves the status quo while staff and stakeholders draft permanent rules that could change where and how food trucks operate in the village.
