NAHRSTADT, VILLAGE MANAGER FROM: MICHAEL P. STRONG, MANAGEMENT ANALYST DATE: June 7, 2013 SUBJECT: FOOD TRUCK & MOBILE FOOD VENDOR REGULATIONS BACKGROUND The Communications & Legislation Committee will hold a meeting at 6:30 PM on Tuesday, June 11, 2013. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss potential regulations for mobile food vendor business activity in the community. The Board last discussed the matter during the May 14, 2013 Regular Board meeting. During this meeting, Village staff described a recent complaint received regarding a food truck parking in front of an existing Northbrook restaurant. The staff also presented research on the regulatory environment for food truck and mobile vehicles in surrounding suburban communities. As noted in the minutes from that meeting (included as an attachment to this report) the Board concurred that a further investigation into these regulations would be appropriate. Also, it was noted during this meeting that the Village does not currently have regulations geared toward mobile food trucks or carts; however, Chapter 13 of the Northbrook Municipal Code does require that a permit be required for all food delivery vehicles. The Board referred the matter to the Communications & Legislation Committee for a discussion of the issues. They also asked staff to invite interested representatives from local “brick and mortar” eating places as well as food truck operators in the community to attend and share information on the topic. CURRENT REGULATIONS The Board agreed that mobile food trucks should be allowed in the Village so long as regulations could be constructed to properly govern their activity in the community. Therefore, the Municipal Code is the most appropriate mechanism for establishing reasonable restrictions to guide mobile food vendor business activity. While there are no regulations specifically geared towards mobile food trucks or carts; Section 13-26 of the Northbrook Municipal Code specifies that a permit is required for all food delivery vehicles. The language from Section 13-26 follows: a) It shall be unlawful for any person to operate a food service establishment, retail food store, food processing establishment, a milk and ice storage device, food delivery vehicle or food vending machine within the village who does not possess a valid permit issued to him by the village sanitarian. Food trucks, ice cream trucks, push carts and other food delivery vehicles must comply with health and sanitation requirements and obtain a Village business license. Therefore, Chapter 13 provides a logical Page 1 location for establishing any additional standards pertaining to food trucks and other mobile food vendors. INFORMATION INCLUDED FOR MEETING Since the May 14 meeting, staff has contacted four (4) businesses that have indicated they plan to attend the meeting on June 11, 2013. In addition, Village staff has synthesized previous research, and enclosed new material to help guide the Village Board’s discussion during the June 11, 2013 meeting. Staff has gathered the following information that we hope will be useful to the Committee: 1. Matrix Summarizing Mobile Food Truck Regulations for Selected Communities. Staff has reviewed food truck regulations found in other communities to identify trends in the regulatory environment and summarized those findings in the attached table. The table identifies the major themes of restrictions (i.e. license, operational, location) across communities which have food truck regulations. 2. Evanston, IL Ordinance. The City of Evanston has a very strict ordinance for regulating food truck activity in the community. The city only allows existing licensed restaurants to engage in mobile food truck activity. Additionally, Evanston is highly restrictive of the locations where mobile food trucks can engage in business. A copy of the current Evanston ordinance is attached. 3. Glenview, IL Ordinance. The Village of Glenview has a less restrictive ordinance regulating food truck operation. The Village requires proper signage and identification; as well as, some other restrictions. The Village does not restrict the location of where business can take place, as long as it does not interfere with traffic. A copy of the current Glenview ordinance is attached. 4. Schaumburg, IL Ordinance. The Village of Schaumburg regulates food trucks and mobile food vendors through its solicitors and peddlers ordinance. The Village of Schaumburg restricts mobile food trucks from parking on public property for longer than fifteen (15) minutes at a time. In addition, vendors are prohibited from emitting any noise from their vehicle for the purpose of drawing attention (i.e. amplifier, bells, horn, chimes, etc.). A copy of the current Schaumburg ordinance is attached. 5. City of Champaign Pilot Project. The City of Champaign launched a Mobile Food Truck Pilot Project with the aim of understanding its mobile food truck culture prior to codifying business restrictions. The City identified seven (7) specific areas mobile food trucks would be allowed to engage in business. The City also required that vendors submit vehicle registration and insurance information for a permit. An annotated copy of the pilot program is attached. 6. Article re Chicago Food Trucks. The Chicago Tribune recently reported in the attached article that the cost for the mobile food truck industry is increasing, forcing many potential entrepreneurs out of the business. 7. Article re Northbrook Food Truck Regulations. The Chicago Tribune recently published an article on June 4, 2013 regarding the Village’s intent to discuss potential regulations for food truck activity. Page 2 DISCUSSION & DIRECTION It is evident that several communities in the Chicago area have evaluated the need and appropriateness for mobile food truck or mobile food vendor regulations. Based on staff’s research, there seem to be three main patterns of response with their course of action. Some questions for the Committee to consider with regard to these themes include:  Should vendors be restricted from conducting business during certain times of the day?  Should the Village determine where (i.e. pre-determined site locations – See Champaign) mobile food trucks or vendors can engage in business activity?  Or, should the Village identify where (i.e. within a certain distance (X’) of restaurants, parks, or schools; on any public property or right-of-way; or along specific roadways) vendors cannot engage in business activity?  What mobile food truck or vendor operational restrictions (i.e. garbage, seating, noise, power, etc.) are important to the Village of Northbrook?  Should we also be reexamining our standards specifically with ice cream trucks in mind (volume of music, how long they may stay parked in one area, proximity to schools and parks, etc.)?  Are there specific licensing requirements (i.e. insurance, liability, background checks) that are important for the Village to consider?  Likewise, do we wish to review the standards for food “push carts”? SUMMARY Staff is seeking direction from the Communications and Legislation Committee based on the materials and discussion included in this packet. If the Committee is amenable to codifying regulations for mobile food truck operations in the Village, this discussion will be helpful in preparing an Ordinance for the Village Board to consider at a future Committee or Regular Board of Trustees meeting. Staff will be present at the June 11, 2013 Committee meeting to present an overview of the materials assembled in this packet and to answer any questions.

MANAGER'S REPORT Manager Nahrstadt asked Assistant Director David Schoon to provide a brief report of the traffic study which the Board directed staff to commission of the Skokie/Dundee corridor. Assistant Director Schoon stated that staff initiated a Village traffic study of the Skokie/Dundee corridor, while looking at all the projected projects as well as any recently approved projects. He said that this was an independent study and would be separate from the individual studies which would be conducted by each Applicant. He then provided a summary of how the study was conducted and indicated that they were able to determine the projected traffic counts in addition to the current traffic counts and would present these findings to the Plan Commission as each of the Applications come before them. Assistant Director Schoon added that at that time, recommendations will come from the may be necessary to accommodate the additional traffic. A. Staff Report - Food Truck & Mobile Vendor Regulations Manager Nahrstadt then asked Development and Planning Services Management Analyst Mike Strong to provide a report of the regulations of food trucks and mobile vehicle regulations. Analyst Strong began by reminding the Board of a complaint which was received from a business owner which Manager Nahrstadt spoke about at the April 23 meeting. He then provided an overview of the ions for this type of business and included the current mobile food truck activity in Northbrook. Analyst Strong then presented the regulatory approaches taken by other Board of Trustees Page 6 Printed 5/23/2013 Regular Meeting Minutes May 14, 2013 communities and stated that if the Board wanted to take a further look at these regulations then staff could prepare information to present to the Communications and Legislation Committee to vet. The Board concurred with the matter being sent to Communications and Legislation. President Frum stated that she feels there is a need to look at this further and Trustee Buehler recommended that staff notify the existing food truck vendors of an upcoming discussion. 8.

The goal of the pilot project is to enhance the vibrancy and appeal of Downtown and Campustown over the next 12 months by allowing mobile food vending opportunities. The project also provides the opportunity to better understand how mobile food vending can work in the City as the current regulations are to be considered by City Council. The Mobile Food Truck Pilot Project identifies seven locations where trucks will be permitted. Each location identified has a two hour, per sales activity, sales limit; and some locations have sales time restric- tions. Below are the requirements of the pilot project and attached are the maps identifying where mobile food vending will be permitted. What is a Mobile Food Truck? A mobile food truck is a self-contained food service operation, located in a readily movable motorized wheeled or towed vehicle, used to store, prepare, display or serve food intended for individual portion service. PROGRAM PROVISIONS Mobile food truck operators are encouraged to participate in the pilot project. Below are the provisions and requirements of the program: The Mobile Food Truck Pilot Project will operate from June 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013 The program is only available for mobile food trucks as defined above. Push carts, food stands and other methods for selling food without use of a motorized wheeled, or a towed vehicle are not eligible. Vendors must obtain a peddlers license from the City of Champaign Clerk. Once a license is issued, the pilot license must be placed in the vehicle and be visible to the public. A license may be obtained just for the duration of the pilot project, if desired, for a flat fee of $50 plus a $25 applica- tion fee. If at the end of the pilot project the vendor desires to extend the peddlers license to be an annual one, the application fee will be waived but a new annual fee will be charged. Obtaining a license requires proof of insurance and bonding for the use of the right-of-way Vendors must obtain a permit from the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District (see www.c- uphd.org), which must also be placed in the vehicle and be visible to the public. Unless the current license regulations are revised during the pilot project period, the provisions will revert to the current regulations July 1, 2013 which prohibit sales from parking meters or other public right-of-way unless expeditiously selling, or otherwise authorized by the City Code. Downtown Champaign continued...... Campustown  Mobile Food Trucks Pilot Project PROGRAM PROVISIONS continued. Locations where mobile food trucks will be allowed for the pilot project are specified on the attached maps. These include select loading zones in Downtown and Campustown as well as a portion of the Neil & Washington parking lot in Downtown. The maps specify the areas permit- ted for vending, maximum number of vendors allowed in that area at any given time, and any time restrictions for vending. Mobile food trucks are allowed in the specified locations daily from 7:00 AM to 3:00 AM except where noted on the maps. The loading zones on Walnut Street and Sixth Street as depicted on the maps are only available to mobile food trucks in the evenings from 7:00 PM to 3:00 AM. Mobile food trucks may remain at one location for no more than two hours at a time on a first come available space basis. In the Neil and Washington parking lot in Downtown, availability is subject to parking spaces being open in the area identified on the attached map. Mobile food trucks are expected to pay meter fees at any meters being occupied by the trucks including any patron service area or overhang. No service area from any mobile food truck is permitted to block, obstruct, or interfere with vehicular traffic flow. The intent of mobile food trucks is to allow for walk-up sales to pedestrians. Vendors may not set-up tents, tables, chairs or any other displays within the areas allowed for mobile food trucks. Parking of other vehicles in the designated areas is also prohibited. Mobile food truck vendors are responsible for removing, or providing receptacles for the removal of, all garbage and other items from a space upon leaving. Vendors are responsible for collecting all trash and other debris accumulating within one hundred (100) feet of any sales location. It is recognized there may be times when delivery vehicles intends to use a loading zone while a mobile food truck is currently operating. To best avoid conflicts, vendors shall establish their truck in an area of the zone that allows the most room for a delivery vehicle. The City of Champaign reserves the right to change the provisions of the Mobile Food Truck Pilot Project for safety concerns to the public or if the presence of mobile food trucks in the loading zones presents problems for loading or traffic flow in general. Applications can be submitted to the Champaign City Clerk’s Office at 102 North Neil Street, Champaign, 2nd Floor. For questions about the program call the Champaign Planning Department at 403-8800.

With limited funds, Damian Warzecha, 26, turned to Kickstarter to get his business going. In 35 days, he raised $15,600 from 380 backers. "It is very difficult for us to get bank loans because restaurants are viewed as a risky business, with 8 of 10 of them going into bankruptcy within five years," said Warzecha, an Irving Park resident. His truck will be called Pierogi Wagon, named after the stuffed dumplings he will be offering — $7 for eight or nine pierogis, with snack servings at half that price. With money in hand, he shopped online for second-hand trucks. He bought a 1999 model with 200,000 miles in it for $6,000. In comparison, he said a 2003 model with 100,000 miles would have cost about $20,000. Warzecha then paid a friend to paint his vehicle for $4,000, which Warzecha says is about $2,000 less than what it normally would cost. To save money Warzecha outfitted the truck himself with second-hand appliances — a stove, refrigerator and a hood to channel smoke out of the van — for $4,000. Warzecha plans to be on the street in about two weeks. But in addition to the truck and appliance costs , food truck owners face a bevy of licensing fees. The most expensive of three types of two-year licenses is $1,000 to be a "mobile food preparer," according to the city of Chicago website. A "mobile food dispenser" license costs $700 while "mobile dessert vendor" licenses cost $275 every two years. And there's also $100 for a fire safety permit application and $150 for installing a fire suppression system. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-06-02/business/ct-biz-0602-office-lunch-sidebar-20... 6/5/2013 Economics of food truck business - Chicago Tribune Page 2 of 4 The vehicle must also have a Global Positioning System. Several companies usually install the gadget for free and charge the operator about $25 per month. According to the city's website, GPS is used to, among other things, track the daily whereabouts of trucks in real time and store data going back at least six months. Food truck owners also must pay the city $660 every two years for use of a shared kitchen. Shared kitchens are communal facilities that allow restaurant owners to prepare ingredients and prepackage food at an hourly rate. "Some food truck owners end up spending up to $3,000 a month renting shared kitchen space. Others team with private restaurants and pay $700-$1,200 a month," said Amy Le, the former Illinois Food Truck Association president. Joe Scroggs, 29, who operates The Roost Truck, has a story similar to Warzecha's. Scroggs and his father assembled the truck at his father's shop in North Carolina. Scroggs bought his equipment via Craigslist as well as from different shops in Chicago selling used restaurant equipment. "Not everybody has such opportunities or has the right assembly skills to build a functioning truck, and therefore they opt for ready-made ones that are more expensive," said Scroggs, who lives in Lakeview. Le, who used to operate the Duck N Roll food truck before taking it off the street in January, fits this description. The 33-year-old former GrubHub employee said the cheaper option is not necessarily the best one but is, understandably, the one preferred by many. She explained that while the average cost of second-hand food trucks is $20,000-$30,000, they are prone to breaking down. This not only inconveniences the business but raises expenses from constant repairs, Le said. "I decided to buy a new truck after hearing horror stories about older ones, and it was more important for me to invest in a truck that was not going to break down in my first two years of business," said Le, who now operates Saucy Porka, an Asian-Latin restaurant at 400 S. Financial Place. In 2011, she signed a lease with Mercedes-Benz for a fully equipped food truck at a rate of $1,245 a month for five years, or a total of about $74,000. Food trucks also have to adhere to rules they say make the business even tougher and can cut into sales and profits. Not only do their owners have to compete for the best of 21 stops the city of Chicago has designated for food trucks, but they can only use them for a maximum of two hours. If a truck stops to operate at an undesignated area — as long as it is 200 feet away from any restaurant — owners have to feed the parking meters. Mayor Rahm Emanuel this month will present a proposal to the City Council to confirm nine more locations. The new spots include 3953 N. Sheridan Road (Wrigleyville), 1851 W. Jackson Blvd. (Malcolm X College) and 825 S. Canal St. (South Loop). http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-06-02/business/ct-biz-0602-office-lunch-sidebar-20... 6/5/2013 Economics of food truck business - Chicago Tribune Page 3 of 4 With more food trucks launching, Le says the more established ones are grossing between $800 and $900 a day, down from around $1,000 per day in 2011. On bad days, she said, receipts can drop to $200-$300. After overhead costs such as gas and wages are deducted, profits can be thin to nonexistent. Food is wasted if sales aren't robust; Le said she prefers to give it to friends or donate it to shelters rather than throw it away. "Food trucks are an expensive business to set up,'' Le said.

Sign in More regulationSECTIONS possible for food trucks in Northbrook ARTICLES Register A Resize Text - A+ ALEXANDRA CHACHKEVITCH, CHICAGO TRIBUNE Walgreens Co. workers Melissa Brautigam, Jennifer Solomon and Spencer Ebann get their lunch from a food truck, called Raging Kitchen, in Deerfield on June 4. The truck serves several communities on the North Shore, including Northbrook. By Alexandra Chachkevitch, Tribune Reporter 5:48 pm, June 4, 2013 Northbrook is looking into considering some sort of regulations for food trucks, which have been on the rise in the area. Village trustees directed staff to research the topic further after a preliminary report was presented at a meeting in May. Tom Poupard, Northbrook's director of development, said in 2012 the village had 13 mobile vendors, an increase of five from eight in 2011. So far in 2013 the village already has granted 12 mobile vendor permits, he said. The food trucks, which now follow the village's regulations for ice cream trucks, already have to apply for mobile food permits with the town and conduct inspections. Poupard said the regulations the village is looking into now include figuring out whether to designate certain areas where the food trucks can or cannot park. At the moment the food trucks can park anywhere on private or public roads, Poupard said. He said so far the food trucks have in general been received well in the community. "We're glad that we're having this hip activity in our otherwise sleepy suburb," Poupard said, echoing village trustees who also liked the increased activity in the community. http://my.chicagotribune.com/ 6/5/2013 Chicago Tribune - More regulation possible for food trucks in Northbrook Page 2 of 4 Workers from a few office buildings in Northbrook, especially the ones near the Skokie Boulevard and Dundee Road intersection, expressed their happiness over the increased variety of food options, Poupard said. But the village also got its first complaint about a food truck that was parked in the downtown Northbrook area during the Earth and Harbor Day celebration in April. Little Louie's, a local hotdog and sandwich shop that has been in Northbrook for about four decades, did not like that a mobile vendor, which catered similar food, parked across the street from them, Poupard said. Poupard said the village is scheduled to discuss different options on potential regulations for food trucks at a communications and legislation committee on June 11 at 6:30 p.m. Some nearby communities have passed different types of regulations that Northbrook is taking into consideration, Poupard said. The regulations vary from detailed, such as in Evanston, to general ones, such as in Glenview, Poupard said. He said some communities choose to not allow food trucks to park on public property, others, like Schaumburg, specify for how long a truck can park on a public street. "A lot of communities around us are just figuring out what do," Poupard said. Wapaghetti's Pizza, a Wheeling-based business, has been using trucks to deliver its trucks to deliver and serve dozens communities in the North Shore since they opened up more than three decades ago, said owner Joe Mastro. "The food truck is really nothing new," Mastro said. But he added that the idea of mobile food vendors has been more popular recently. Some vendors, like Raging Kitchen, use Twitter and other social media to let its customers know where they are during lunch hours every day. Some new food truck owners in the area say they are filling a need and believe they will prosper despite any potential additional regulations from local governments. David Robin, co-owner of Hoof and Feather, said his business tries to appeal to people who work inside office buildings from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and want some variety in their food options. Hoof and Feather, which Robin started with a partner in summer of 2012, serves sandwiches and soups around areas in Glenview, Northbrook and Skokie. Robin said he wanted to start a food truck business because it's less expensive than trying to launch a restaurant. "We think that we provide a service that people want in the community," Robin said. If Northbrook decides to restrict food trucks from parking in certain areas, Robin said he is not too worried. "There plenty of places to go when you have a truck," Robin said. But some restaurants in the communities feel that their competitors on wheels shouldn't be able to park wherever they want. Katie Keefe, a manager at Northbrook's Trattoria Oliverii, said she also recently has noticed a rising number of food trucks in the area. Although Keefe would like everyone to be able to prosper from their business, she said she feels like food trucks may rob some local longtime shops of potential customers. "Especially in the spring and summer months, we really rely on that walking traffic," Keefe said. "So I'm kind of against (the food trucks)." http://my.chicagotribune.com/ 6/5/2013 Chicago Tribune - More regulation possible for food trucks in Northbrook Page 3 of 4 Keefe said her restaurant and other local businesses have struggled through the recent recession, cutting down some of its employees' hours. "Things are finally trying to turn around," Keefe said, adding that having additional pressures from the competition of food trucks that haven't been members of the community for a long time is not fair. Tisha Akulich, manager of Sarpino's Pizza in downtown Northbrook, said he believes his business is going to be fine despite the food trucks. "It depends on what sort of food they provide," Akulich said, adding that he doesn't know of many food trucks that cater pizza. During the Earth and Harbor Day celebration, when one hotdog truck was parked in the area, Akulich said he didn't notice a difference. "We still had a lot of happy customers," Akulich said. achachkevitch@tribune.com Account Sign in Register Customer Services Advertising Services Contact Us Customer Services Advertising Services Contact Us Terms of Service Privacy Policy About Our Ads Visit our desktop site Terms of Service Privacy Policy http://my.chicagotribune.com/ 6/5/2013 Chicago Tribune - More regulation possible for food trucks in Northbrook Page 4 of 4 About Our Ads Visit our desktop siteA Tribune newspaper website A Tribune newspaper website http://my.chicagotribune.com/ 6/5/2013  6.A MEMORANDUM VILLAGE OF NORTHBROOK DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING SERVICES DEPARTMENT TO: RICHARD A. NAHRSTADT, VILLAGE MANAGER FROM: MICHAEL STRONG, MANAGEMENT ANALYST DATE: May 14, 2013 SUBJECT: FOOD TRUCK & MOBILE VENDOR REGULATIONS INTRODUCTION During the April 20, 2013 annual Earth Day Event, staff received a complaint from a local restaurant owner that a mobile food truck was parked on Shermer Road in front of his business and adjacent to Village Green Park. The Village Manager mentioned this complaint to the Board of Trustees during the regular meeting on April 23, 2013, and noted that staff was researching the topic and would return to the Board with a report on our findings concerning food trucks and mobile vendors at a meeting in May. The rise in popularity of mobile food trucks, especially in the Chicago area, has led to code revisions in several area communities with varying degrees of regulation and enforcement. Although not a new concept, mobile food trucks have become more sophisticated, offer a range of food menu options and are being considered by some to be a key ingredient to a vibrant community. Mobile food trucks can also offer an entrepreneurial opportunity for many that seek to start-up their own business, especially in a down economy, or a chance for an existing restaurant to increase their customer base. There are also a number of concerns with mobile food vendors. In particular, owners of traditional thus have an unfair advantage. There are also concerns that they can generate congestion and trash. Likewise, ice cream trucks, which represent the more traditional type of mobile food vendor seen in Northbrook are also criticized for posing a safety hazard for children, being noisy (often with recorded music playing loudly) and being parked too close to schools and parks. This report is intended to summarize the current regulatory framework for mobile food vendors in Northbrook, identify the types of concerns and complaints that have been identified locally, outline some emerging themes in licensing and permitting mobile food vendors, and seek Board direction on how we should proceed. CURRENT NORTHBROOK STANDARDS There are no regulations specifically geared towards mobile food trucks or carts; however, Section 13-26 of the Northbrook Municipal Code specifies that a permit is required for all food delivery vehicles. Page 1 Packet Pg. 5  6.A a) It shall be unlawful for any person to operate a food service establishment, retail food store, food processing establishment, a milk and ice storage device, food delivery vehicle or food vending machine within the village who does not possess a valid permit issued to him by the village sanitarian. Food trucks, ice cream trucks and other food delivery vehicles must comply with health and sanitation requirements and obtain a Village business license. Other than this, ice cream or other food vending trucks must simply abide by the general parking, traffic control and noise regulations in the community. In order to establish more specific requirements for mobile food trucks or carts, a Municipal Code amendment would be needed. CURRENT ACTIVITY AND COMPLAINTS To date, the Village has received 12 mobile food vehicle business licenses for 2013. This compares to 13 which were received in 2012, and eight during 2011. On average, two of these licenses have been for ice cream trucks. The remaining has been for traditional food delivery vehicles or emerging prepared food trucks and mobile food trucks. We do have a few food trucks that have begun to operate somewhat road, just south of Dundee Road. It is quite popular and has been viewed as an amenity for office workers in the area. At the same time, the recent incident where a food truck parked near a restaurant in the downtown shows how this can be problematic. A recent survey conducted of surrounding communities found that loud music from ice cream trucks; lack of vehicle identification and signage; proximity to schools, parks, and restaurants; and lack of background investigations on vendors were common complaints of mobile food vendor activity. Similarly, Northbrook has from time to time, received complaints from residents who find the continuous music from ice cream trucks to be a nuisance, as well as that they park near schools and parks for long periods of time. Until recently, the Village had not received any complaints regarding the erations). NEW APPROACHES TAKEN TO REGULATE MOBILE FOOD TRUCKS In response to the concerns noted earlier, a number of Chicago area communities have updated their local regulations to more carefully license, and regulate mobile food vendors. Communities such as Arlington Heights, Elmhurst, Evanston, Glenview, and Schaumburg have adopted new standards. Alternatively, the City of Champaign recently introduced a Food Truck Pilot Program to gauge interest and volume for food truck activity prior to establishing new regulations (Attached). Collectively, some common regulatory themes have emerged based on the mobility (i.e. roaming, stationary) of vendors in these policies. Specifically, the Village Board may wish to consider the following questions regarding the two main categories of food trucks. Roaming Food Vehicles. This category includes ice cream trucks, push carts and food delivery vehicles. 1. How close to schools, parks or restaurants can a vehicle engage in business? Page 2 Packet Pg. 6  6.A 2. How long can a food vehicle be parked at a single location - and how often can they return? 3. What time of day should roaming food vending be allowed to take place? 4. Should noise from music or generators be prohibited or limited? If so, what is an appropriate limitation? (i.e. not audible within 100 yards) 5. Should background checks and fingerprinting be conducted for vendors? For instance, there are a growing number of communities that are checking to see if the vendors have a criminal record or are registered sex offenders. 6. Should identification or safety signage be required on vehicles? (i.e. amber lights) Stationary Vehicles (Food Trucks). This category includes vendors where the food is prepared on the vehicle (food truck) as well as those where the food is prepared and packaged off- In addition to the al the questions identified above for roaming vendors, the Village Board may wish to consider the following questions for specialty trucks and food trucks. 1. In general, where will vehicles be allowed to park? (i.e. public streets, private property, or both). 2. Should specific geographic limits be established (x feet away from an existing food establishment, or only in specific designated areas - such as in the City of Champaign example) 3. Are additional requirements needed - such as refuse containers, seating/bollards, availability of restrooms, power (self-contained)? SUMMARY There does seem to be some growing interest in the community for prepared food truck or food truck operations. Recognizing this trend, more communities are adopting new mobile food vendor policies. While food trucks can have a positive impact on quality of life and economic development, recent food truck policies in the area have shed light on several issues to consider. Therefore, the central question becomes whether the Village Board is interested in allowing mobile food vendors to engage in business activity within Northbrook, and if so, what level of regulation should be considered. If the Board wishes to have an in-depth discussion of this topic, we suggest the matter be referred to a Board Committee (likely Communications and Legislation) for further discussions. I will be present on May 14, 2013, to present this information and answer any questions that may arise.
