He stated if Council is <br /> concerned about a food truck,then they should also consider not allowing delivery <br /> trucks in the lot,but he also understands all the businesses need the deliveries too. <br /> Ms. Allard expressed concerns with the stacking of customers if the two east parking <br /> spots are utilized. <br /> Aegir representatives stated they have a patio customers would be sitting at and there <br /> would not be stacking of customers at the truck. The stated if the truck was in the <br /> back parking lot it would help reduce their visibility. <br /> Council felt this was the best compromise for everyone and removes the truck site <br /> lines from the public. They further suggested allowing the food trucks via a special <br /> event permit. <br /> Mayor Dietz expressed concerns with other entities wanting a special event permit <br /> for downtown for food trucks. He stated he liked the idea of using the city lot on the <br /> north side of Highway 10. <br /> Councilmember Wagner agreed stating there are street lights for customers to cross <br /> the highway,it gives the food trucks good visibility,and may encourage others to use <br /> those lots. <br /> Mr. Portner stated we are trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist and suggested <br /> we designate the two easterly parking spots as food truck parking via special event <br /> permit only to see how to works. He noted the ordinance can always be amended. <br /> He stated traffic circulation in the lot is slow because the lot is tight and planning <br /> Ekes calming measures in parking lots,noting a food truck will help with calming. <br /> Councilmember Wagner stated the restaurants might not like this but it's an <br /> opportunity to see what happens. <br /> Ms. Rydberg suggested not locking into a designated parking spot but to leave it <br /> open in case other businesses want a truck somewhere else in the downtown. <br /> Mr. Portner expressed concerns with city staff making a judgement on the location <br /> because the downtown is a controversial location. <br /> Ms. Rydberg expressed concerns with signing a designated food spot in the middle <br /> of the parking lot. <br /> Council further noted the two designated spots wouldn't be blocked all the time for <br /> food trucks; only when a permit is requested. Mayor Dietz stated the police <br /> department could block off the spots when needed. <br /> 10.2 Parks and Recreation Proposed Fees <br /> UREJ <br />
