Councilman Quennel McCaleb, who cast the lone dissenting vote when the rules were approved on the first reading on June 26, was absent from Monday’s otherwise unanimous vote.

The rules, which are the local government’s first attempt to regulate the increasingly popular trucks and trailers, must be approved once more in order to become law.

The proposed rules would require mobile food vendors to get a license from the city in order to operate.

To get the city license they would have to provide proof that they have any required licenses from the state, have the propane tanks on the truck or trailer inspected by the Fire Department and provide proof that they have insurance coverage as required by the city. The required insurance coverages are at least $1 million per occurrence and property damage insurance of at least $1 million.

People selling produce at farmers markets or selling sweet corn from the bed of a pickup truck would not have to get a license.

Under the proposed ordinance, food trucks would be barred from residential areas unless they were there for a special event for which the city issued a special event permit.

Food trucks would also be banned from Central Avenue between Fifth and 12th streets.

Any food truck set up in a public right-of-way could not be within 100 feet of a restaurant between 6:30 a.m. and 10 p.m.

Additionally, no food truck would be allowed on any public right-of-way between 2 a.m. and 6:30 a.m.
