Motion carried 3-0-0.
Matt Rosek outlined the revisions made to the Ordinance. The purpose was to clean up our current ordiance to match the current
b. Consider/recommend Proposed Creation of Ordinance 17.111(10) of the City of Oconomowoc Zoning Code
Regarding Food Trucks/Mobile Food Shops
Motion to refer to Committee/Commission Motion to refer this item to a full Committee of the Whole for further discussion made by
Rosek and seconded by Rogers.
Jason Gallo led the committee through a presentation regarding mobile Food trucks in the City of Oconomowoc. This does not
include special use food trucks for festivals and markets. Currently the planning department has the authority to approve food trucks
by ordinance.
Currently 6 trucks operate within the City. Jason feels that the Ordinance is lacking in policy direction like to have discussion with the
Committee and Council as to the parameters of a policy for allowing mobile food trucks to operate within the City.
Gallo showed slides illustrating the different types of Food Trucks in other communities. Gallo drafted a proposed Ordinance and
reviewed the proposal with the committee. Ordinance would include an application, insurance, permitted areas of operation,
application fees, temporary permit time periods, and options for a food court.
The Ordinance includes an appeal process, a requirement for inspections, location regulations, restrictions on Alcohol and tobacco
sales, waste regulations, lighting, audio, utilities and signage. The Ordinance will also regulate hours of operation, restroom
availability and revocation policy.
Gallo distributed a handout that included a map with suggested areas in the City to allow Food Trucks.
Questions from Council
Ellis questioned the hours of operation, would like to see that removed. Also questioned why there are no renewal fees,
Rosek commented on some concerns on the proposal. In the permit required section, just want to be sure that existing businesses
can be exempt from these rules. Wishes to narrow the focus to mobile food trucks only. Also would like to specifically define which
zoning areas are restricted. Suggested looking again at the insurance requirements, possibly upping the amount to $500K. Define
temporary permit fees for less than 6 months, and permanent use permit fees for any time length greater than 6 months.
Schellpeper asked about the zoning and how permit days are counted. Permit is specific to the location of the truck.

Protection & Welfare Committee - November 04, 2020
Rogers asked about the requirement to be a certain distance from events. He would like to see Section H looked at again for
clarification for existing trucks when an event occurs. Rosek would like to remove some verbiage regarding distance restrictions.
Rosek will forward to Jason some suggested changes to incorporate for the next meeting.
Other ideas from Council include regulating the total number of trucks allowed in the City, creating a food truck trail within the City,
promote a food court within the City as opposed to one offs in different locations, removing the requirement for restaurants.
The committee would like to schedule a future COW to discuss this further.
Motion carried 3-0-0.

Motion to adjourn Motion to adjourn made by Rogers and seconded by Schellpeper.

• Revised ordinance text and Draft Implementing Ordinance — 1.37 Police Commission
