County staff to draft rules after council hears requests to allow food trucks on county property
Summary
Staff told council it received multiple recent inquiries from vendors about operating on county property; staff recommended developing a framework (designated areas, insurance, sign‑up mechanism) and said it could bring an ordinance to the council.
Mister Jordan told members that staff has received four inquiries in the past month from vendors interested in operating on county property and that historically "we didn't have food trucks on county property." He said the county does not currently allow commercial activity without a franchise agreement but that staff can develop a regulatory framework that would include designated areas, insurance requirements and a sign‑up mechanism.
Members discussed limits on numbers, frequency, and coordination with city regulations; Jordan suggested bringing an ordinance and the chair asked staff to return with a recommendation either at the next council meeting or on Dec. 3. No formal policy change was adopted at this meeting; staff will draft the proposed ordinance for future council consideration.
