Summary
The city wants to replace its 10-year-old food truck rules with clearer annual permitting, safety inspections, and limits on where and how long trucks can operate. Fire officials say trucks parking on busy streets with kids crossing traffic is the biggest worry; the rules still let neighborhood events and associations host trucks in safer spots.

Impact analysis
A new $100 annual permit fee would offset inspection and admin costs — no big hit to the city budget.
Residents get safer streets near food trucks, and vendors get one clear annual permit instead of repeated 48-hour paperwork.
Truck operators who have skirted inspections or set up semi-permanent spots will have to come into compliance or risk losing their locations.
