He stated their taproom will <br /> not serve food and will encourage local businesses to have menus at their business. <br /> He further stated he would like to bring in food trucks to bring in more people to <br /> visit the city. He stated they would like to have a truck at least two nights a week, <br /> most likely on Friday and Saturday nights. <br /> Mayor Dietz expressed concerns that if the city allowed this business to have a <br /> special event permit for food trucks, others will want them too. <br /> Councilmember Wagner asked if Aegir has talked with the church or bank about <br /> utilizing their private property so it takes the city out of the matter,noting those <br /> business are most likely not being used during the weekend timeframes noted. <br /> Jeremy Jones expressed concerns with distance people would have to walk to a food <br /> truck. <br /> Tim Jones,Aegir Brewing, expressed concerns with people walking across the <br /> parking lot and of the church wanting to be affiliated with a liquor business. <br /> Councilmember Wagner noted the downtown concerts only occur about 8 days a <br /> year. She stated if she is choosing to go downtown to eat at McCoy's, and she <br /> happens to see a food truck, she is not going to change her mind and eat at the food <br /> truck. She noted her intention would be to sit down at McCoy's to have a beer and a <br /> conversation. However, she stated she would most likely stop at a food truck versus <br /> a fast food establishment. <br /> P O w E R E U 9 1 <br /> UREI <br />
