Officials Discuss Food Truck Industry

City officials heard a common cry from several food truck owners who attended a public workshop held Wednesday at City Hall: "Why mess with something when it works so well?" The workshop was hosted by the city as elected officials and staff members grapple with whether to create an ordinance regulating the growing food truck industry. "The city needs to list its concerns and justifications for any rules or regulations," Councilman Dan Gookin told The Press following the meeting. "I believe these concerns were well-stated today, specifically with regards to traffic, access for emergency vehicles, fire safety inspections, wastewater disposal, and just to know who is where doing what"/Keith Cousins, Coeur d'Alene Press.
