Food truck operators told Aurora City Council members this week that as it stands, a proposed ordinance regulating mobile food vendors would put them out of business.

Food truck operators said at a City Council Rules, Administration and Procedures Committee meeting this week that as it stands, a proposed new ordinance regulating mobile food vendors would do just that.Members of the committee have been studying new regulations for food trucks for weeks, and have put together a new ordinance designed to balance the needs of food trucks versus brick and mortar restaurants.

Ald. Emmanual Llamas, 1st Ward, pointed out that the City Council look at a new ordinance grew out of complaints that reached City Hall, including trash in neighborhoods, parties and food trucks operating regularly too close to established restaurants. Operators also said they would suffer from a new provision that would ban food trucks from operating in the same place every day.

“If we are going to be restrained from operating daily, the same restriction should be imposed on brick and mortar restaurants,” she said.“I’m not sure what the problem is,” he said.“If there was a community-based problem, we would have liked to be given a chance to fix it,” she said.Sanchez proposed a committee of food truck owners that the city could talk to if there are problems, “before it gets out of control.

Alex Voigt, deputy chief of staff in the mayor’s office, said after getting complaints, the mayor’s office began looking at food truck restrictions, and found that the old ordinance was not being enforced.
