<p class="MsoNormal">Good Afternoon!<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At the last City Council meeting in Coos Bay, there was a public forum and discussion of allowing food trucks/transient businesses in the the City. Currently, there is a BBQ food truck that parks in the Visitor Center parking lot and there
was some concern about it taking away parking spaces from visitors. The city administration proposed moving the vendors to a different, city owned lot. There was also some concern about how to properly and fairly license the vendors. It looks like the current
transient business license from the city is about $75; established restaurants voiced concerns that these businesses were paying such low fees and utilizing public property as compared to the established restaurants who are subject to higher business license
fees and property taxes. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone have food trucks or transient vendors that set up in their downtowns? How have they been received by the community and businesses? How are they regulated (or are they regulated)?
