Sponsored by Councilman Reginald Brown, Ordinance 2014-0472 was quietly introduced on July 22, 2014. The drafted legislation for the Food Truck ordinance went before the City Council's Rules Committee on Monday, August 18th. Today, it will go before the Council's Finance Committee at 9:00am and will be discussed at the Rec. public health and safety meeting at 2:00pm. All council committee meetings are being held in the council chambers. Is this legislation really needed or are our leader's priorities in the wrong place?
