City Council Minutes <br />January 2, 2018 <br />Page 6 <br />Mr. McCoy stated he understands Aegir needs to have a food truck. He stated he is <br />not opposed to allowing trucks to park in the parallel spots on the north side of <br />Main Street but expressed safety concerns with customers crossing the street. Mr. <br />McCoy noted the city is not going to see a rush of food trucks coming to town. He <br />stated he sees no issues with allowing food trucks on King Avenue south of Main <br />Street or in downtown on the north side of Main Street. <br />It was questioned as to how many trucks would fit on King Avenue and concern was <br />expressed for the sight being on a hill. <br />Councilmember Westgaard stated he would like to find a way to accommodate Aegis <br />and their desire to have events with a food truck by utilizing the special event <br />permitting process and allowing them use the city -owned lower parking lot and <br />requiring a fee. He noted if they then make a request for a food truck on a Thursday <br />night it could be denied because the parking lot would be needed for a concert. <br />Staff stated this should be evaluated and noted Aegir would want a special event <br />permit for every weekend. <br />Mayor Dietz stated staff should review setting limits for the number of food trucks <br />allowed in the downtown district. He questioned how many times a food truck can <br />be downtown, how it would be regulated if three are allowed but six apply. He <br />questioned how they could be rotated in order to be fair to each of them. He <br />suggested setting a deadline date in which they have to apply by before selecting the <br />trucks that can locate downtown. He felt no more than 3-4 trucks should be allowed <br />downtown. <br />Councilmember Olsen suggested having it be self-limiting. <br />Councilmember Wagner expressed concerns with how tight the upper lot is in the <br />back of Aegir. <br />Mayor Dietz stated if Aegir applied for a special event permit, staff wouldn't have to <br />approve all of them. <br />Staff noted they would approve the permit if the applicant met the requirements <br />outlined in the special event ordinance. <br />Jeremy Jones stated city ordinance could set a size limit for a food truck and he <br />stated they have a back patio that would allow for queuing of patrons. <br />Mr. Gess stated he would like searing to be allowed in the industrial parks. <br />Council was amendable to this change. <br />,9�WEAf1 B1 <br />
