City May Regulate Food Carts

With the number of mobile food vendors on the rise in recent years, the city of Coeur d’Alene is considering an ordinance to regulate health and safety issues related to the popular businesses. If adopted, the ordinance would apply to all mobile concessions whether on public or private property. Currently, there are no city ordinances regulating mobile businesses on private property. A public workshop will be held on Wednesday, October 1, from 8:30-9:30 a.m. to consider adopting laws. The meeting will be held in the Old Council Chambers at City Hall, 710 Mullan Avenue. For information, contact deputy city clerk Kathy Lewis at 769-2229/ Coeur d’Alene Today.

Question: Did you know that food carts on private property aren’t regulated? Do you think they need to be?
