Local chefs seek pilot for small food truck; trustees advise coordination with businesses and permits
Summary
Two local chefs seeking to run a small family-run food truck requested a pilot to serve midday demand; trustees outlined the permit process (police station), suggested possible locations (Sante, history center lot, East End), and asked the applicant to return in August with a concrete plan and any required COIs or property-owner permissions.
Andres Rangel, who said he works at the Woodstock Inn and at Sante, asked trustees for a pilot program to operate a small family-run food truck for select hours (for example, filling the 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. gap). He described flexibility on location and hours and said the intent was not to compete with existing restaurants but to supplement service during busy tourist season.
Trustees outlined the application process — a police-station permit, payment for any town parking space used and coordination with property owners — and suggested trial locations such as Sante’s side lot, the history center lot, or private pull-offs. Trustees advised the applicant to return in August with a location, hours and a conversation with potential hosts; they agreed discussion was appropriate now but that a formal vote was premature without details.
