New Milford officials consider changes to food truck ordinance

The New Milford Town Council is looking into the town's food truck ordinance, allowing operation on private property if a business hosts them.   Businesses with kitchens are not allowed to host food trucks.  Among the proposed changes is a charge of  $80 to operate for two weeks, or $160 for the month.  There is an existing requirement for a health permit and fire department fee, if propane is used.  The ordinance requires the mayor, police chief and health director to approve the permit.  Currently, food trucks are allowed on private property no more than four times a year.  Food trucks are not allowed within 250 feet of an established restaurant, but possible changes being considered would shorten that stipulation.  The ordinance will be discussed at their July 22nd meeting.
