SPRINGFIELD — A Springfield City Council committee sent a proposed food truck ordinance to the full Council for a March 9 first step. Chris Signoli presented the draft, which would create a city permit for trucks on private property at $450 for six months, with a $150 renewal. Public-way permits would stay $225 for three months.
Fines would be $100 per incident, charged to the property owner on private land, and trucks would need to stay 500 feet from residential areas. Vendors objected to the fees and the buffer, and the chair said he asked for no fee. A member urged waiting for consensus, but the committee advanced the item, with "this is people's livelihood" cited as the reason to get it right.
