[OMS_MANAGERS] Food Trucks

[Revitalize Downtown Stayton]

Even though there is still some disagreement about the policy that our City
adopted, they handled it by passing an Ordinance that food trucks are not
allowed on a public street- only on private property. It was felt that this
limited the trucks in front of B&M restaurants, but still respected the
rights of the food truck owners.

Good Luck.
