Thereupon, it was moved by Vice Mayor Byington and seconded by Mrs. Hilton that the ordinance be passed.
Upon call of the roll on the question of the motion, the following vote was recorded:
There being five (5) yea votes and no (0) nay votes thereon, said ordinance was declared duly passed and it was so ordered.
A copy of the ordinance, having been placed on the desks of each member of Council prior to introduction, was read by title.
Vice Mayor Byington explained that this is the second ordinance to update the Business Regulation Code as it pertains to food trucks. It was introduced with a first reading at the June 6 Council meeting. There is an existing ordinance in the Oakwood code, Section 725.01, that prohibits anyone from offering any thing or product for sale within any street right-of-way. This ordinance will amend Section 725.01 to create an exemption for food trucks, but will continue to prohibit other kinds of selling on public streets.
