ORDINANCE NO. 1754, SERIES 2018 — AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 17 OF THE LOUISVILLE MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING MOBILE RETAIL FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS, MOBILE FOOD VEHICLES, MOBILE VENDING CARTS, AND ICE CREAM VENDOR REGULATIONS -1St READING, SET PUBLIC HEARING 2/6/18 City Attorney Light introduced the ordinance by title on first reading. Attorney Light noted an update to the ordinance had been made for this meeting The options given clarify how food trucks can be allowed at the Arts Center and Memory Square Park and in other City rights-of-way in a residential neighborhood. Councilmember Stolzmann noted generally in the past we wanted to allow the use of food trucks at the Arts Center for private events and at Memory Square for special events. She supports option two which limits the changes to Memory Square as option one may have further unintended consequences we have not thought through Councilmember Keany liked option one allowing the use of the rights-of-way at other parks as some residential areas have parks where there is a shelter available for a rental and a food truck might be a good option for catering an event He noted specifically Keith Helert Park and Annette Brand Park. Councilmember Leh stated option one may disperse events to other parts of the city. Public Comments — None. Councilmember Maloney favored option one as long as there is an allowed or permitted event with the food truck Councilmember Stolzmann stated she can support option one but noted it is a change from current process Councilmember Keany would like to add language to note it is only allowed with a park rental for a private event. He asked how this affects use of a food truck at a block party. Muth stated this is not addressed in the current block party permit, but that language could be added to the ordinance and permit process.
