Food trucks have a right to metered spaces. Food trucks are mobile vendors. Classifying food trucks as stationary vendors is a blatant and obvious ploy to restrict the freedom of these entrepreneurs.

I hope that the proposed amendment that mobile vendors cannot operate within 1000 feet of a hospital or school don't change their normal operations here at the University of Louisville downtown campus. The food vendors here have provided affordable, nutritious selections for the university and hospital employees, and while I'm sure the hospital cafeteria vendors are unhappy about it, they should not address the competition by manipulating Metro policy in their favor. The food trucks offer a varied diet to the multitude of international communities represented in this demographic, as well as provide a source of commerce and income for our immigrant communities. Please reconsider how this will affect their business. From: Wufoo To: MetroCouncilClerk Subject: Itinerant Vendors, Peddlers & Solicitors Ordinance [#5] Date: 10/15/2018 2:10:44 PM

While I do not live in Louisville Metro I do work in downtown Louisville and therefore pay taxes so I believe I have a right to voice my opinion. I cannot understand the reason behind this proposed ordinance. I work on Main Street and therefore can appreciate the difficulties in regulating the vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the area. However, I do not see why it matters if a metered parking spot is occupied by a vendor or a personal vehicle. There is no greater impact on traffic caused by a vendor vehicle and while there may be a congregation of foot traffic on the sidewalk, most people have the common courtesy to stand out of the way of pedestrian traffic. Not to mention I have met some wonderful people while waiting both local and visitors improving my sense of community. I have not ever experienced a shortage of parking downtown even with big events at the Yum! Center. While we have many wonderful brick and mortar restaurants downtown that I frequent often, I like the opportunity to grab a quick lunch from a vendor when I don't have the time to commit to a sit-down lunch. If the city is willing to license these vendors, please do not place unreasonable restrictions which do nothing but lead to failure of such businesses. They are important members of this community whom I support whole-heartedly.

It appears to me that the proposed regulation changes will place a significant and undue burden on the owners and operators of our cities food trucks. Food trucks are a great part of our local culture, "keeping Louisville weird", enhancing the experience of locals and visitors, and making high-quality, diverse food experiences possible.

I personally think that most of the proposed changes will only serve to stifle small business and limit consumer's freedom of choice in the Louisville area. I am finding it difficult to see how mobile vendors will be able to remain competitive, let alone even stay in business if these proposed changes are allowed to go into effect. The changes seem aimed specifically at preventing them from being able to conduct business at all, at least in any profitable or safe manner. Most mobile vendors I see are very considerate and conscious of the impact they have on the areas they set up in. I can't imagine any issues arising where these proposed changes would be needed or desired. What incident(s) sparked the need for proposing changes? If no specific incidents exist, why change the rules in a way that is going to be crippling to an entire cottage industry? If incidents do exist, why were they not addressed with the individuals involved, why punish everyone for the bad actions of a few? I for one will miss the added variety and choices of food available if these changes are allowed to pass. I also regret that the Louisville Metro Council would even consider proposing arbitrary changes apparently designed to force honest hard-working Americans into unemployment.

I strongly oppose this ordinance. This will negatively effect our economy by putting food truck owners out of business, thereby removing their revenue from our economy. Not to mention the fact that downtown employees frequently do not have the time or means to go to a brick and mortar restaurant but can afford food trucks. This ordinance is heavily biased and attempts to solve a problem that we don't have.

This change will limit all food trucks from operating at current level and will put some out of business. This is unfair to business of this sort, we demand the same treatment as any other restaurant or business! These council people need to focus on real problems like out city's drug problem. I should be free to operate my business without constant fear of what the city will try to do next to deter me from operating. The restaurans poking at Barbara Sexton to do something about food trucks need to find another way to increase thier business bottom line without attacking other businesses! This is like telling a reporter that they can only report news at certain locations. Freedom to operate!!!

The proposed changes will create a backlash among the citizens who frequent food trucks. Some have very limited time, 30 minutes, for their lunch breaks. They will not be able to have options for their lunch choices if food trucks are not allowed to operate as they are allowed to now. Creating a "stationary vending zone" only complicates the matter for those people and leaves them with little to no options for a good quality meal. Also, considering you're proposing to drastically change the way the food trucks earn their living, how many trucks are you comfortable with putting out of business? Most of the trucks that work the downtown food truck spots will see a drastic loss in income resulting in having to close down. This is NOT what Louisville wants or needs. Someone is behind this, someone with deep pockets. To think the downtown restaurants are suddenly going to see an uptick in their business is asinine, at best. If they offered a product that citizens wanted and could serve them in a timely manner, they wouldn't and shouldn't have an issue with Food trucks downtown.

Louisville food trucks are fantastic. As a dental student with a short break for lunch options are extremely limited and the rotating food trucks on the UofL Health Science Campus have allowed diverse lunch time meal options for me that encourage me to support local businesses when otherwise I would skip a meal. I am certain that other downtown and local workers are in similar situations. Promoting access to food trucks should be a point of pride for the city. I know I negatively judge other cities that I travel too that have poor food truck cultures.

I am a new Foodtruck owner since December of 2017. We specialize in German-Turkish street food that is home to not only Germany, but has its roots in Berlin where I am from. We are proud to bring a slice of the world to Louisville and cater to our clients in the downtown area and in company office parks. Our working clientele most often has not more than half an hour lunch break and is dependent on our convenient, fast, and affordable service. With the newly proposed changes to the city ordinance we would lose our business as the city would control where, when, and how long we could set up our mobile business at a much higher cost than what we already pay. There is very much hard work involved in having a food truck, more than people realize including 60+ hrs, heavy lifting, working in 100 degrees in the summer with no a/c etc. As a small business owner there is not much money in it in the beginning, especially in our case as I obtained a loan over several ten thousands of dollars. I still work full time in my regular job to afford that business and make the American Dream come true for my son who manages and works the truck. With the council members' proposal, our business would go down the drain and I would lose my life savings and be bankrupt. The proposed changes to the ordinance must not take effect. We as the Foodtruck community request the city respect the Federal Decree that was awarded last summer to guarantee our right to do business as everyone else.

I do not understand why you want to change a system that is obviously working and working well. Who is going to determine the size and placement of these new vending spaces? Who will monitor their use? Have you all even eaten out of a food truck? You line up on the sidewalk. Who is now going to police this new restriction of not lining up on the sidewalk? Are we going to be arrested if we do line up? Will the food truck be fined? Are we supposed to queue in the street? Surely, with all the problems we face in Louisville, your time would be better spent trying to solve things more pressing and more important than trying to run food trucks out of business. As with everything these days, the time will come that we vote on your office, and we will not forget your choice on this matter. Please do not pursue this!

You are not looking to intergrate it you are attempting to eliminate it. Louisville is a foodie city and the food trucks are part of the charm—part of the Louisville experience—they are part of the make up of who we want people to see and love. Every large city that eliminated food trucks—or restricted them until they could not survive lost the appeal of being a family experience-a city all families could love. They just became another large city —cold—-isolated—with nothing unique. Allow the food trucks to continue to be apart of our city, of our food scene —let us continue to offer something unique —something that brings people together in our city that we love.

This is uncalled for. Louisville food trucks make up a unique side to our city. Do other cities have food trucks? Of course. But do they have our food trucks and the amazing choices we have within the heart of the city? To me, food trucks help our city flourish. They make our city more interesting. Why would we consider putting chains on this industry? These people are Louisville. Please don't make these changes for this will change a part of who we are. This will take away peoples livelihood. No one can run a food truck within these guidelines. This will use resources that need to be used elsewhere to make our city a safer place. No money should be used to police these guidelines.

All over the country there is a food truck community, when Louisville finally started having this as a fabulous and delicious option I for one and others were thrilled. Now it seems the city wants to make one of the few cool things we have difficult if not impossible to execute or enjoy. Restaraunts in the area downtown are probably upset because they may be losing lunch time business, so let's punish food trucks and the people who love them. There are so many things this city can work on, why mess with something that people like, enjoy and will miss if made difficult to get to.... It's sad and frusterating.

Please reconsider the proposed changes to Louisville Metro legislation eliminating the ability of food trucks to continue business in downtown Louisville. Should they be regulated? Absolutely! For food and public safety, not out of business. Many locations where these moving businesses frequent do not have other options available (for the truck to hurt the business). Other scenarios - a food truck draws a crowd and attention to food, but cannot meet customers' time schedule and ultimately add business to brick and mortar restaurants. Healthy competition drives quality and value and essentially eliminating a segment of the food market from our great city would have negative impacts on the downtown environment.

After reading through the full text of the proposed ordinance, I can honestly say I am disappointed in the proposed changes and clarifications. Having "stationary vending zones" sounds like a good idea; however, where are (or will) these zones located? Will these areas be convenient for people working in downtown? Will these zones be designed to accommodate 2-4 trucks at the same time to give people choices? The metered parking in Downtown Louisville covers almost every block which vastly reduces or eliminates ample area to set up these stationary vending zones. The only option I see to create these zones is to remove parking meters in designated areas. Once these zones are identified and established there are still the proposed standards that itinerant vendors must adhere to or be in direct violation of this ordinance. The one standard that stands out the most is the obstruction of any sidewalk, street, etc. This is essentially saying that any food truck that is popular enough to have a line form on the sidewalk to purchase their goods will be in violation of this ordinance. As a patron of several food trucks in the downtown Louisville area I can say that even though there is a line for some of the trucks the sidewalk is still very much passable. People standing in these lies are courteous enough to leave a space to allow the flow of others to not be impeded. I feel that Louisville should be more forward thinking and open to the food truck industry. Placing such restrictions as proposed in this ordinance will stifle the thriving food truck industry we have here in Louisville. I support our food truck vendors and love the variety of food it brings to the downtown business district. Please consider how these proposed changes will affect the livelihood of these businesses as well as the options available to the thousands of employees working in the downtown areas these trucks frequent.

The proposed change regarding food trucks would be a major step backwards for Louisville. For a city that prides itself on growth, diversity and supporting local business this proposal would directly be suppressing all those great qualities. It’s very evident that a small minority is in opposition to food trucks. Ask any customer that comes to us, they don’t want to go to a sit down restaurant and spend 45 minutes at one spot. Most people are trying to get their lunch and go back to work. Food trucks provide the quick service that allows people to get food fast and carry on with their day.

I work in Louisville and frequent food trucks. Some everyday or at least once a week. They are the best part of Louisville and work hard to provide a unique service to their customers. They are what makes Louisville a foodie town. At lunch I don’t have time to go to a sit in place. I need to grab food and go. Food trucks provide options with great food.

I am shocked the city of Louisville is trying to destroy the food truck industry!! They add the spice to the downtown and make it feel like we are keeping up with all the other big cities! Going back to the olden days will surely date the city and destroy the unique flavor these people add to it!! Come on get a clue and don’t ruin our city!!

Please do not take the food truck away from downtown Louisville on Preston and Chestnut streets, they give those of us that work nearby and only get 30 mins for lunch a nice variety.

As someone who frequents the food trucks near my work I am very much against the changes in this ordinance. These changes will most definitely hurt food truck business. As an employee where my only option has been hospital food or ordering food delivered I look forward to seeing which food truck options I have each day. Visitors of the hospital also enjoy having an option besided hospital cafeteria. These food trucks are not hurting anyone but these changes will affect a lot of people. Louisville is known for their food culture. Leave it that way. From: Wufoo To: MetroCouncilClerk Subject: Itinerant Vendors, Peddlers & Solicitors Ordinance [#54] Date: 10/17/2018 7:15:08 AM

What about the small business paying high rent in down town louisville working hard to make a living. These food trucks just park on the street n take away income, customers, and parking.

I think the change should go through, why should brick and mortar small business have to pay so many taxes and fees and have to wait for customers to come to them when these food trucks can just cruise around and park where ever they want, whenever they want. Just like they tell the brick and mortar, if their products are good enough they shouldn't have anything to worry about. They should stop whining, there's too much of that in this world going on now.

I love the food trucks outside the hospitals. The cafeterias are horrible and ever since McDonald’s was kicked out of Children’s there are no affordable choices. I didn’t read the entire ordinance but a lot of it is nonsense. If people didn’t want them there, they wouldn’t have line going down the block.

I continue to be disappointed in the metro council attacking small business in Louisville. The amazing growth and evolution of this city has been through dynamic changes in small business- restaurants, artists, crafters, vacation rental owners, local tour operators- the dynamic food scene and welcoming small town feel attracts people from all over the country and has led to a revitalization of the local economy, the housing sector, and secure growth. Louisville is becoming a destination because of business like food trucks! Limiting them is quashing the creativity/ small town hutzpah that make this an exceptional city. Please do not further regulate food trucks- get rid of the silly scooters that are a menace instead From: Wufoo To: MetroCouncilClerk Subject: Itinerant Vendors, Peddlers & Solicitors Ordinance [#60] Date: 10/17/2018 11:57:17 AM

I don’t agree with taking the food trucks away from the streets and hospitals. The sidewalks are never to busy for people to walk by them or others standing in line. When the trucks are not here the parking spots are always still available. Most people use the garages in these areas. The cafeteria food is always the same thing every week it’s so nice to have a brake from that when your having a bad day. I spend more $ in the cafeteria for lunch then I do going to the food trucks. When you have a loved one admitted and they don’t want hospital food it’s close and easy to get. I have food allergies and often I cannot get anything to eat from the cafeteria so I go to the food trucks. They know more about food prep, cross contamination and allergies then most the hospital cafeterias do. They always wash there hands and very professional and nice! It’s my favorite part of working downtown! From: Wufoo To: MetroCouncilClerk Subject: Itinerant Vendors, Peddlers & Solicitors Ordinance [#61] Date: 10/17/2018 12:23:24 PM

Completely against this. 100% of food truck revenue is generated on location and convenience to consumers. Forcing trucks to move to dedicated locations will kill the business. I think a fair compromise would be to sell food truck parking passes that five truck owners the ability to park in pay areas and not have to use parking meters generating revenue for gov and permitting any space with parking meters be available to trucks.

I am a University of Louisville employee on the downtown health sciences campus. I routinely purchase food at local food trucks, and learned of the proposed ordinance to prevent them from parking at meters. I am strongly opposed to this proposed ordinance, and depend on food trucks to have a healthy, convenient and inexpensive option for lunch. Please reconsider such a ban that would not allow food trucks to serve the downtown workforce, which includes many hardworking UofL and hospital employees.

The definitions have repetitive and conflicting verbiage (specifically in regards to mobile vendors c and g). This causes confusion when interpreting the mobile vendor clauses below. Food trucks should be allowed to sell to customers nearer schools and hospitals, and not have such tight regulations around moving trucks several times an hour or limiting congragation. The current verbiage/definition does not make clear the distinction on who these proposals are targeting and could easily be misinterpreted to the detriment of Louisville entrepreneurship. Louisville has a rich culinary scene and this proposal could severely inhibit the food culture and entrepreneurship of this city.

Unless there have been serious complaints by large numbers of people on the way street vendors conduct business, there is absolutely no reason to interfere with the business activities of these people. Food is already expensive in this city and imposing unnecessary and burdensome regulations like these will only serve to elevate the operating costs which will translate to higher costs to the people.

I think this proposal is ridiculous. It does nothing to improve our city. I see no benefits for citizens, and it actively restricts business growth for those who operate food trucks. I’ve seen nothing that gives any reasonable benefits. Clearly someone has a vendetta against food trucks for some bizarre reason that I can’t understand. But instead of moving forward with this useless proposal, we should scrap it and support small business owners, and consumers having more choices. We choose to live in a free market/capitalistic society, so let consumers decide what businesses they want patronize, not the government. Y’all have caused enough problems, your decision making skills aren’t the best.

I don't own a food truck, but do occasionally get lunch from them, as I work downtown near 5th and Market. Perhaps there are issues at other food truck "hot spots" that I'm not aware of, but some of this appears to be a solution that's looking for a problem. First, let me say I do support the cap on generator decibel levels. While the noise doesn't bother me, I understand how it can impact other people. I also support the requirement that vendors provide garbage cans and clean up the area afterwards. On the other hand, there are two major issues I have with the legislation: First, it effectively prevents people from waiting for food, or even queuing to order food. Although I can appreciate the need to keep walkways clear, this strikes me as an arbitrary rule that will hurt food vendors that prepare food to order, as opposed to other vendors that do not cook. The other issue I have is with the limits on parking at meters: If the trucks are paying for their time, who cares? Downtown Louisville is basically a giant parking lot with an occasional office building. We have more parking than we know what to do with. The closer our parking is to capacity, the better. Capacity parking means higher parking rates, higher parking rates means more people look for alternative transportation to get downtown. The cool part of our food truck community is that they can easily rotate, which gives consumers more choices. Austin's food truck scene, while excellent, is almost all stationary, which means people are more tied to what's nearby, or have to drive to mix it up. In conclusion, I appreciate aspects of this legislation, but I am concerned that it will be detrimental to a lively food truck scene that gives a relatively bland downtown a lot of charm.

I do not support the proposed changes. Government regulation always leads to the stifling of local business. This provides a disadvantage to those with out large amounts of money to pay for brick and mortar locations currently. It in the end will only benefit chain restaurants that make the city boring and no one cares to go to. Keep louisville unique and embrace the food trucks.

I feel that this is over regulation, and I don't understand the reason for this, unless it's to just run food trucks off the streets. I love food trucks, I think they contribute a lot to our city, and I question this law. It seems to me that no one was interested in this and it leads me to believe that this is some shady political ploy. Go ahead and see what it gets you, I don't think the voters of Louisville like political subterfuge.

The proposed changes are pure, unadulterated horse hockey. As a former Humana employee in downtown, food trucks offer a wonderful, affordable and delicious alternative to the abysmal selection of restaurants on the Main Street corridor. There are only two affordable lunch restaurants of note on Main Street: Queue Cafe, and Luigi’s. The others are crap food or way too expensive. Plus, try getting into most restaurants on Main when you only have a 30 minute lunch break. This proposed ordinance is a disservice to those of us who work downtown. Also note, while I am no longer a Louisville resident, I’m in town once or twice a month and I make it a point to go downtown to get tacos from the Traveling Kitchen. To me, there is very little reason to go downtown other than that. From: Wufoo To: MetroCouncilClerk Subject: Itinerant Vendors, Peddlers & Solicitors Ordinance [#73] Date: 10/19/2018 12:02:18 AM

Please do not change the current situation with the food trucks. Food truckers go to the spots they are currently at because these are the spots that are good for business, any other location would ruin business.

This ordinance has a few good points such as safe propane tank storage and no signs blocking sidewalks. The rest of it just seems to be trying to block food trucks from competing with brick and mortar businesses and in particular- school and hospital cafeterias- why? This seems to be the agenda of those exact businesses- hmmmm. The ordinance passed earlier this year settled that issue in a way that these businesses didn't like. My advice to those businesses is- sell food that people actually WANT to eat at a fair price. This would virtually eliminate the food trucks' business and incentive to park near your hospital/school/business. Your food tastes terrible and is overpriced. The emergence of food trucks as your competition is a *market force*. To think people will come back to your restaurants to eat your horrible food with the trucks gone is a pipe dream. You will only drive them to GrubHub, pizza delivery, etc. as an alternative- that's what we did before the food trucks and will do again. Brick and mortar businesses can only reverse this market force by giving people what they want- food that tastes good and that's a good value. It really is that simple.

I oppose the regulation from CW Sexton-Smith. While a "Food Truck" park could be a great addition to the city, Food Trucks need to go where their customers are. That's the whole point of a food truck. They don't need to be corralled or ghettoized by designating restricted areas. This ordinance, while probably well-meaning, will serve to put some micro businesses out of business. Please vote no.

I am opposed to the further proposed regulations which would make it even more difficult for food truck business owners to operate in this town. I work downtown and the food trucks are popular because there are not enough restaurants in the area to serve the number of people who work here. If restaurant owners in the area are worried about the competition they get from food trucks, I would suggest they up the quality and convenience of lunch operations in their own businesses rather than try to squash that of others because getting rid of the competition will not contribute to an increase in their business if the quality and convenience factors are lacking. Very disappointed that my council person (Mulvihill) is supporting this ordinance which is obviously unsustainable for food truck owners and a blatant attempt to shut them down.

I am in favor of allowing food trucks to use metered parking. If that becomes prohibited, we will need to have designated stationary vendor zones at or very near the locations where food trucks currently operate. That includes Preston St between Muhammad Ali and Chestnut, Chestnut St between Brook and Floyd, Brook St between Witherspoon and Washington, and somewhere near 5th and Main/Market. Trucks will lose business if they can’t park conveniently close to a large number of customers. In residential areas, an exception should be made to allow a food truck to park on the street if it is there to cater a private party, and the private property doesn’t have sufficient space to park off the street.

I oppose Ordinance No. O-374-18. I am a physician who works at ULH and frequents the food trucks for lunch. The food trucks are thriving because they fill a need for fast, easily accessible, fabulous food. None of us are able to walk or drive a distance to a sit down restaurant or a "restricted food truck vendor location." I know the owners of several food trucks personally and this ordinance will put them out of business. This will not improve parking downtown which has been a mess for years. I question the money and influence behind this proposed ordinance. This is regulatory capture at it's finest. I am a voting member of District 8. Thank you for not supporting Ordinance No. O-374-18.

As someone who actually worked downtown the food trucks showing up in front of my office building was important. They're what keeps the lines down in the cafe's especially when there are conventions in town. A lot of the office buildings have nothing in them for places to get food, or if they do it is a very expensive restaurant. Keep the food trucks mobile!

Please stop the proposed changes to the the Itinerant Vendors, Peddlers, and Solicitors regulations (Chapter 72.083 and 72.085(A) and 115.350-369 of the Louisville Metro Code of Ordinances) which mean to restrict free enterprise and present undue burden on lawful proprietors that make a significant contribution to commerce within the Louisville Metro area. These businesses provide convenient and economical food and beverage options for people who work in downtown Louisville. Should these regulations pass, the restrictive nature will cause many of the vendors to close. The economic impact on jobs and tax revenues within the Metro area will be significant.

I don't feel that it is fair to pass this ordinance without specifically denoting where the "designated zones" for the food trucks will be. If these zones are far from typical pedestrian traffic, it would unfairly and adversely effect the trucks' business. Street parking is a problem in downtown, period. The 3-4 meters that these trucks would typically occupy do not affect it so greatly that this ordinance would alleviate the issue.

I adamantly oppose this proposed ordinance! The purpose of food trucks are supposed to go to where the people are. This ordinance would inherently kill the industry here in Louisville. Food trucks pay to park on the street just like everybody else who parks downtown, I feel like this is an attempt by the city and the restaurants to decrease competition, perhaps someone on metro council is having their pockets lined by restaurant owners.

I absolutely do not support the proposed new regulations on food trucks. I enjoy being able to be downtown and being able to grab a quick bite at a nearby truck. Proposed regulations would herd trucks into designated areas and make it difficult or impossible to grab something from a truck on my lunch break. These regulations would give me fewer lunch choices and put an addditional burden on trucks just trying to make a living.

Every growing city has a downtown Food Truck Industry. As an independent Solo Attorney of 40 years working downtown for 40 years, I believe these food trucks are the best thing to hit the city. They make it possible for downtown workers to have a lunch when brick & mortar restaurants are not an affordable or time option. This is baloney not allowing them to pay for and park at a meter. You want to take on an important traffic issue, how about the idiots panhandling for so called charitable contributions in the middle of busy intersections during Rush Hour.

It's ridiculous to have stricter regulations on food trucks than normal brick and mortar restaurants. I travel a lot, and it appears that Louisville is so behind other large cities when it comes to food truck ordinances. Food trucks are actually cleaner, and healthier than most fast food or dining establishments. The proposed regulations will hurt these very hard working entrepreneurs and local families who have put their heart and soul into their food truck business.

Louisville benefits from MORE food options not LESS. If the brick and mortar restaurants are lossing business to food trucks it is because they take too long, cost too much, and have subpar food/service.

Save our food trucks. Hardworking people who should be allowed to go anywhere in the city they choose. The food trucks pay property taxes, sales tax, city taxes, operational taxes, health dept taxes as well as state tax. Plus they provide a much needed service to the working people downtown. They also pay to park at the meters. Most trucks spend between $400.00 to $600.00 a month for parking meters. The city of Louisville needs to support the food trucks as well as any small business.

I do not support the changes proposed. This is an attempt to eject food trucks from downtown Louisville by brick and mortar restaurants. Restaurants need to improve their product and service. As someone who pays additional taxes because I work downtown, this is a slap in the face. Let the food trucks be. I am never going to spend money at downtown restaurants even without food trucks. Restaurants, improve your food and service. Be better and you'll do better. But, leave the food trucks alone.

I am against ANY restrictions or additional fees to licensed food trucks & members of the Louisville Food Truck Association. They provide a valuable service to the community, as well a pay their fair share of fees, licenses, and parking meter rates already. The variety of food they provide as reasonable rates and in limited time frames gives students and works choices they wouldn't have otherwise. Any attempts to restrict, eliminate, or punish the food truck community will be met with the voting public eliminating you from office.

I oppose any regulations that will restrict the current food truck/vendor situation. There are many places in Louisville that have limited food choices within walking distance. I work at one of those locations that the food trucks that part at meters on Present between Chestnut and Muhammad Ali are one of the best food options we have in this area. Otherwise we are pretty much limited to chain restaurants. These vendors need to park at the meters, near a hospital, and have their customers form lines and wait on public sidewalks. The volume of their customers each day reflect the need for these vendors in these locations.

Louisville doesn’t enforce the parking laws we have now. All day, everyday, people park in the middle of crosswalks, no parking zones, block off parking meter spaces with traffic cones, block loading zones and fire lanes, park in handicap spots without handicap tags. Commercial vehicles double park, block alleys and parking garage spaces... I could go on and on. This is just in the 600 block of 4th St... Imagine what it’s like on every other block downtown. Let these people, who make a living in these food trucks, park in accessible spots. They are the least of our problems on these streets.

As a hospital administrator at ULH, I am a frequent patron of the food trucks that park daily along Chestnut and Preston Streets. As a friend of the Travelin’ Kitchen, I am a supporter of Victor and his family. I am baffled about what problem we are trying to fix with this ordinance. The truck drivers and owners follow hosts of regulations to operate their businesses. They follow parking laws and pay the meters that they utilize during the day. My options for lunch - in the short time that I find for it each day - are limited and certainly do not allow time for me to travel outside of a one or two block radius. Those who work with me in direct patient care roles often have even less time. Please don’t take away this vibrant addition to our city’s dining scene or regulate it so heavily as to render it useless. Don’t take away the livelihood of the many owner-operators in our city - many of whom are from minority families. This is the opposite of progress.

Please do not limit in any way the days, times or locations where food trucks can park to do business downtown or elsewhere. They provide a much needed and appreciated service at a reasonable price. My work does not afford me the luxury of going out to a sit-down restaurant. I need to pick up food quickly and keep going. The food trucks provide a welcome variety of great food at affordable prices. It seems like this effort has been suggested to protect the brick and mortar restaurants at the expense of what the people actually prefer and want. Let the restaurants compete with better food, quicker service and lower prices. As for the questionable objection of them taking up parking spaces, make them feed the parking meters while parked there. That's reasonable. Don't blame or punish them, though, for Louisville's lack of planning for parking space downtown if that's an issue. I've worked downtown for 15 years, though, and have never had an issue parking. Surely the city will earn more in taxes allowing successful food trucks to park convenient to consumers than they will from other random citizens parking at those meters. Please do not go forward with this anti-free market control of thriving businesses. This proposed ordinance is poorly designed and deserves to die a quick death and burial.

I am opposed to the ordinance because it hinders the food trucks from operating where they want to set up to do business where high traffic sales would help them successfully operate their businesses..they are legally set up and paying any proper parking fees..creating more rules will only cause less food trucks from operating in the greater Louisville metro area.I just move here to Louisville in the last year and enjoy patronizing these businesses and they are an integral part of what makes Louisville great.Please reconsider this ordinance and other regulations that make it harder for them to operate and Keep Louisville Awesome!!!

Please do not make these changes. The food trucks that we have downtown work hard to provide good product and give people working downtown several options of food during a hectic lunch rush.

Please reconsider this ordinance. Food truck operators are not "Taxi Drivers" as Ms. Sexton-Smith tried to compare. The areas they are in are surrounded by plenty of parking and there is no reason to limit that to limit the food truck vendors. They pay taxes and they pay for their operating licenses. Leave them alone and focus on the problems actually facing the City of Louisville.

This would be a devastating loss for our city. We are so proud of the inclusive food truck culture and as an employee at a downtown office, access to food trucks is essential in what is really a food desert. I work for a health system, and food trucks offer opportunities not only for busy staff and physicians, but also exhausted families of patients to get a quality hot meal in a short amount of time, due to close street access just outside the building’s entrance. Please do not let this change go into effect. From: Wufoo To: MetroCouncilClerk Subject: Itinerant Vendors, Peddlers & Solicitors Ordinance [#155] Date: 10/24/2018 1:56:42 PM

I firmly stand against any vote for proposed changes for vendors, peddlers, and solicitation. If the city is to thrive in a market of free enterprise and welcome, mature, and develop local commerce this act attacks the simplicity of such device. Food is a common way that we can share culture, foster relationships, and provide quality service to one another. The simplicity and accessibility make them in greater demand than brick and motar stores and provide willing entrepreneurs an opportunity to operate and finalize business strategies before moving forward without high risk. Many success stories come from these endeavors, Sea food lady, 502 Cafe, and many others. I believe the city has so many other obstacles to tackle that are way more important like retaining talent, distribution of wealth, and modernization. Work with small businesses, not against them. Make it clear to the city, the region, and the world, your ideas and ambitions can be successful in Louisville. Review what’s been done in Honolulu and see how city government, owners, and the community have worked together and supported one another to make this a respected practice. In order for ky to grow Louisville has to take the lead and be the Nashville, Indianapolis, of the state, or we will continue to fall behind From: Wufoo To: MetroCouncilClerk Subject: Itinerant Vendors, Peddlers & Solicitors Ordinance [#158] Date: 10/24/2018 2:18:14 PM

Where did these changes come from? Why weren’t Mobile Vendors consulted prior to creation of these, also harsh restrictions on an emerging market will not only hamper growth in said market but the livelihood of constituents that utilize this means as a way of making a living. Restrictions on serving past a certain time, obtaining permission from all neighboring businesses and persons, moving every 10 min even as a mobile vendor, these things are a reaction to a market that barely registered a few years ago. I don’t disagree that oversight and regulation shouldn’t exist, but research other cities that have co-existed with restaurant and mobile vending, bring both sides to the table to discuss options, neither of these were done. The proposed ordinance is exactly what it is, a ordinance that is designed for the continued monopolization of brick and mortar restaurants, and destruction of mobile vendors (food trucks, hot dog vendors etc.) From: Wufoo To: MetroCouncilClerk Subject: Itinerant Vendors, Peddlers & Solicitors Ordinance [#159] Date: 10/24/2018 2:20:08 PM

Keep Louisville good at what it does best, LOCAL BUSINESS. The best thing to happen to Louisville is the food scene and no that does not happen with 4th Street and all the chains situated there. The "it" factor happens when you have an awesome taco truck pull up on long day at work. Or that burger truck is outside again where you had a new taste you can't get off your mind. I still go into other locally owned sit down and eat businesses. The food truck scene enhances my day and taste buds and it in no way deters me from eating at sit-down places. Leave the small businesses alone and let them brighten our days with good eats.

Limiting food trucks is short-sighted. In Portland, OR, there was initial resistance from existing restaurateurs and local residents. However, sensible oversight and freedom prevailed. Over the last ten years, Portland has become a top food destination, nationally. One of the reasons so many people move to Portland, OR is the thriving arts and culture scene. Street food is a big part of what makes Portland cool. And because Portland is cool, businesses have an easier time finding young people to fill positions. If we all work together on culture, culture can work for us. From: Wufoo To: MetroCouncilClerk Subject: Itinerant Vendors, Peddlers & Solicitors Ordinance [#181] Date: 10/24/2018 4:56:05 PM

I oppose any ordinance that makes it harder for food trucks to do business. As someone who has worked downtown for the past 12 years, I can attest to the fact that the food trucks have increased access to good food and fast. I have a lot if hourly employees that don't have the time to walk blocks to a brick and mortar restaurant, wait for their food, walk back to work, and eat it. Food trucks are an invaluable resource to the community and we should be making it easier for them to serve that community -- not harder.

I am writing to you in regards to the proposed Food Truck ordinance the council have introduced. As Barbara Sexton Smith stated to WDRB, “the food truck industry is a great addition to our city, especially to the central business core.” With the proposed ordinance you will be forcing unnecessary regulation on an already highly regulated segment of the service industry. She cited that food trucks put a dent in parking in the downtown core, but I propose that if the patrons of these businesses had to leave the office and drive to a brick and mortar establishment, we would be speaking of lunch time traffic issues in this same area. These businesses pay for their spots on the street, serve 100-200 customers a day in all sorts of weather, and maintain above board facilities that rival even the most upscale brink-and-mortar restaurants. Since the first food trucks began setting up shop in this city, they have faced hurdles from every direction, creating an even more robust market. Please put an end to the bullying of the hard working and creative entrepreneurs of the mobile culinary industry. Support keeping Louisville Weird, Diverse, Local and Well Fed!

I am a regular customer of several food trucks that park near University of Louisville hospital. These trucks are beloved by so many hospital staff, doctors, nurses, students, and even patients. I believe this ordinance would harm these small businesses and leave so many customers inconvienced and disappointed. We absolutely love having these options near byor place of work.

As a downtown employee and customer of local food trucks I’m disappointed in this proposal. The food truck Culture that has grown in Louisville over the last five or six years is an awesome part of what makes Louisville a growing “foodie” city. It has been amazing having so many options downtown for a good quality food at affordable prices... In many cases these trucks offer a better product than the brick and mortar stores we’ve had for years. These are local, small, family run businesses that the public are willing to rally behind.

Food trucks have really become an essential part of a vibrant, diverse community - Louisville has recently become known for it’s remarkable food scene, and so many of our restaurants started as food trucks. Many talented chefs cannot afford to start their own restaurants, but food trucks are great ways to get their food out there and to let Louisville discover and learn about different flavors and diverse cuisines. Limiting the ability of food trucks to serve their customers limits Louisville.

I commute to daily with many others and work at a downy hospital.

There are so many people, myself included, that use their lunch break at work to make a quick walk to a food truck, especially the Traveling Kitchen. I am confident that if the Traveling Kitchen lost their downtown presence, it would negatively impact a lot of your downtown workers. I would venture to guess you’d have many more people upset over this ordinance passing, than not. I’m also unclear what the issue is. They are paying to park at a meter for a few hours? This ordinance does not make sense to me. There are a lot of people that work downtown and pay taxes, who do not want their food options decreased. I hope this fact is considered.

Your proposal reads almost like you do not want this type of business in Louisville. If this moves forward, you will make it so expensive and so cumbersome, you'll close them down.

Discouraged by several items associated with the proposed ordinance. I agree that the food trucks should have a permit to operate, but allowing them to operate only in a designated area seems like a sleezy way to reinstate the previous regulations regarding where they could and could not operate. There are plenty of garages and parking lots around downtown; the metered spots are not necessary for business professionals. In regards to the lines on the side walk, it is just ridiculous to act like side walk traffic is an issue that is at the fault of the food trucks. When there is not construction completely dominating the downtown area, the food trucks generally are located in areas with space to accommodate. The downtown area is not friendly to walkers, runners, bikers, the handicapped, etc. This, however, is not the fault of the food trucks.

We need to stop proposing monumental changes to the food truck industry every 1-2 years. Businesses need certainty. Let’s be smart about a thriving industry in our city (which is known around the US for having a foodie culture) and give the food trucks a place to park that helps them establish their business. Shutting off popular locations only helps the large franchises (Panera, Chipotle) who send their profits outside of the Louisville economy.

Several thoughts to share: 1.). While the food trucks may take up parking spaces that prevent others from parking there, they have made it a great habit to not take the same spots every day and in effect, create a blockade of any sort around key buildings daily. 2.). People standing in line on the sidewalk around a truck — that’s an issue? Again, only happens for 2.5-3 hours one day a week on any given location. 3.). The thought that Food trucks are taking business away from bricks and mortar establishments is absurd. Before the food trucks, I took my lunch. If the local establishments are feeling a pinch, maybe they need to improve their food quality. 4.). Creating a designated parking space — workable idea, but to put it too far from where the trucks serve their patrons today won’t work. If I had the time to walk 6 blocks for lunch, I could/would. Part of the draw of the food truck is the convenience factor. Although I must admit I have walked 8 blocks round trip for tacos at the Traveing Kitchen on more than one occasion. 5.) Setting parameters for distances around d other bricks/mortar establishments — absurd. See #3 above. This isn’t broke— quit trying to fix it... or as government is prone to doing, don’t mess it up.

I don’t see food trucks as anything put a plus for our city. Small businesses should be able to thrive whether a food truck or brick and mortar.

These changes will have a huge impact of the food truck industry in Louisville. This is one thing I love about this city having all these great local businesses to support and try for lunch. With this ordinance I would lose that as I work at U of L Hospital and it seems that trucks would no longer be able to park close by. On any given day we have a choice of 3 or more trucks not to mention those by Norton. The lunch places available without the trucks in this area cannot support the volume of diners they would get if these food trucks have such restrictions. I know I don’t give in Jefferson county but I work there and pay city taxes.

I am whole heartedly against regulations that hinder the food truck owners ability to reach their clients. Our mayor talks about building the local economy, but is too busy looking for new streets to create bike Lanes to see that he's hurting the economy... These owners live in Louisville, buy supplies from local vendors and farmers, sell to locals and tourists. The money collected circles or economy several times before ending up in the owners profits From: Wufoo To: MetroCouncilClerk Subject: Itinerant Vendors, Peddlers & Solicitors Ordinance [#264] Date: 10/24/2018 9:30:55 PM

I support Food Truck vendors and I am against the proposed ordinance changes. Food Truck vendors, in most cases, serve better tasting food then most local restaurants. They are faster and much nicer to customers, too! With a lot of companies only giving 30 minute lunch breaks now, it limits where many people can eat. Fast food junk or healthier choices offered fresh from food trucks. My choice....food trucks. Thank you.

If trying to reduce traffic is the primary concern then this ordinance is not going to help anything. If we are going to prevent food trucks from parking at meters in the downtown area, then that's one parking place freed up. Just one. There are parking garages all over the city that never reach maximum capacity so such a change is unnecessary if that is the cause for this ordinance. And if the issue is a large amount of people on the sidewalk this should also not be an issue (in response to lines for the food truck.) These lines are usually single file and the sidewalks in our city are easily wide enough to accommodate a thin single file line of people as well as a stream of unhindered pedestrians making there way past. Never once in my time down town during the day have I been inconvenienced by a food truck line. There is plenty of space. This would be a foolish reason to place such an ordinance. We don't need these restrictions since there isn't a problem with the current state of things regarding where food trucks park. Food trucks in the city are a beacon of joy and demonstrate our Louisvillian pride and culture in a way that only food trucks can do. There is a special connection to the city formed when people congregate outside of their jobs to eat at a local booth that everyone loves. And the fact that the booth moves around adds to the excitement and makes the experience special. If Food Trucks aren't able to park down town, then Louisville would lose a large portion of what makes the city feel warm and exciting.

I park my food trailer in various locations that are not prime food vending area's and would most likely not have food truck zones. What if there is no vending zone to park at but numerous open meters? Or reverse that, public parking needed and only vending zones open? I need random meter spaces in order run my business! This policy change and proposed zones is a waist of money and time. The restaurants pressuring Council to keep food trucks away from them need to stop and accept the competition and our council should not be pressured to make changes that are not needed.

A few questions to think about as you continue to work on this Ordinance: Moving every 10 min? How is this safe for the public of the truck owners? Who will organize, monitor, oversee these "vending zones?" What will the process of securing and registering for these zones look like? Can you provide evidence and research of these proposals working in other big cities? Have you done any research?

I strongly disagree with all of the proposed changes. The possible alterations laid out in this proposal are not only unreasonable but just disrespectful to small business owners and their ways of life. If these changes were to be put in place they would undermine all that Louisville, Kentucky stands for and go directly against all the values that make me love my city so much. It baffles me that a place I have pride in as one of the most compassionate, create, and diverse cities in the country could even consider an ordinance that would strip away the culture and joy that food trucks and local food vendors bring to the table. I oppose the changes to the Itinerant Vendors, Peddlers, and Solicitors regulations.

Several sections of this ordinance are clearly targeted toward food trucks/carts that operate in the downtown area. One assumes that the unexpressed intent of the ordinance is to protect brick-and- mortar restaurants downtown from competition from mobile vendors. This sort of protectionism is wrong and should not be tolerated! Adding to the evidence of this protectionism is that mobile vendors for the State Fair are not required to obtain a license under this ordinance.

Government always feels a need to get involved when people gather, are happy, and doing business. Council Woman Barbara Smith said in an interview that Louisville needs to be more welcoming by having more street parking. Forcing small businesses out is not welcoming. People in this city go on and on about supporting local businesses, but how can we buy local when the the local places aren't allowed to conduct business? A large increase in food trucks is a sign of a growing city center that people want to be in. Why ruin a good thing?

I oppose the new food truck ordinance because food trucks are a vital piece of Louisville’s incredible food culture and entertainment. Louisville residents and visitors enjoy these food options and the business owners rely on them to support themselves and their families.

Food truck vendors are already paying hundreds of dollars a month on parking meter fees. These small businesses thrive in these downtown areas that have high foot traffic. To propose them to move constantly and stricken them to certain areas will drastically impact their business models and if worse, will lead to many closing.

Although I don't live in Louisville, I have worked in this community for years. Food trucks provide a valuable service for those of us who work downtown or in the suburban office parks where we don't always have the option of going to a "sit down" restaurant, whether that is a time constraint or a location constraint. One of the great things about commuting to Louisville to work has been this sense that you are a community that supports small businesses, all small businesses, not just the ones who have friends on metro council. The ugliness that has accompanied this dispute, as well as the completely irrational proposals presented, prove to me that metro council either has no idea how the CITIZENS they are supposed to represent want to conduct business, or they don't care. Either want is bad for the future of this city. From: Wufoo To: MetroCouncilClerk Subject: Itinerant Vendors, Peddlers & Solicitors Ordinance [#324] Date: 10/25/2018 1:20:30 PM

I oppose all provisions of this proposed ordinance which impair the ability of stationary vendors to conduct business at metered locations and along public sidewalks - the ordinance provision prohibiting "congregation" of patrons pretty clearly would prohibit the operation of food trucks in populated public areas (i.e., places where sidewalks are present...which happens to be where stationary vendors will find patrons for their business). If this is the intent of the council members proposing the ordinance then they should be ashamed - I have traveled to several cities that have not only embraced the food truck culture, but actively worked to facilitate their operation. Portland, Oregon, for example has dedicated food truck areas near and around the downtown area, and their presence encourages tourism and pedestrian traffic thus bringing more vibrance (and business) to those areas of town. The city of Louisville should do more to assist food truck vendors rather than actively work against them. If this is not the intent of the ordinance then it is pretty poorly drafted and should be revised accordingly. Many people patronize food trucks regularly (myself included obviously), and their presence is often promoted by adjacent brick and mortar businesses as a complimentary offering, thus driving patrons to those traditional businesses...not just to the food trucks themselves. These vendors should be embraced as a vital part of our community, and quite frankly they deserve better than what these council members are seemingly trying to accomplish.

I do not understand the need to add more rules to what/where food trucks can do. This is a solution for a problem that doesn't exist. Food trucks are often the stepping stone to a brick and mortar restaurant. As a Clifton resident, I don't see this proposed let alone understand what problem this solves! Vote no.

I do not support this proposed ordinance. The food truck culture makes every lunch break, school fall festival, concert festival, county and State Fair, better. The owners are stubborn entrepreneurs trying to make ends meet, and contribute to the vibrancy and character of our community. As a local business owner and attorney, parent and community volunteer, this proposed ordinance places an undue burden on these businesses.

We should be supporting food trucks, not passing regulations to make it harder for them to do business. It's hard enough to run your own business. We should be lifting people up who have the ambition to do so, not punishing them. Food trucks bring diversity, fun, and options to our city. We say all the time that we want Louisville to compete with cities like Austin, Nashville, etc. Making it harder for food trucks to do business will not accomplish that. Get with it, people!

Please vote no. Food trucks offer businesses the opportunity for a variety of lunch options with lower cost and shorter wait times then traditional restaurants. In addition, food trucks are a healthy part of each major cities economy. By enabling food trucks we as a Louisville community are enticing other major companies to come to Louisville. Please vote no and allow our downtown community fo remain diverse and weird!!

With all the businesses downtown and shortage of places quick and within walking distance of we need these food vendors to be able to streetside because with only 30 minutes to eat you can hardly get your in car then drive somewhere and still have time to eat drive back and find another place to park.

Seems unduly against the food trucks, as the proposed revisions even prohibits them from "feeding the meter" in order to stay in one spot. Basically this statute will only allow food trucks at events, which will put many food trucks out of business, as events aren't always going on and there are only so many spots at said events. This doesn't seem in keeping with the spirit of entrepreneurship at all. Disappointing.

Louisville owes its current growth spurt in no small part to the food industry and foodie culture that has become a hallmark of our city. Part of that culture is the pop-up nature of the food truck businesses that have their die-hard fans and which bring a diverse array of international flavors to the myriad events held in our city as well as to specific locations during the work week. There are already areas where parking meters have been placed which make it difficult for the residents of the city to attend meetings or cultural events which run over the 2 hour mark. The obvious Catch-22 nature of this ordinance would make it nearly impossible for any food truck to service their customers, thus robbing them of both their livelihood AND their contributions to the tax coffers of the city. Surely the benefit of encouraging the growth of these businesses outweighs the loss of income from those few parking spaces which are compromised for a few measly hours?

This hot dog stand has been a downtown staple for about 15 years, and clearly the demographic in Louisville love it.

Please do not establish more regulations that limit, or eliminate food trucks. Food trucks are fun, and a beneficial element to Louisville’s culture. From my perspective, food trucks don’t encroach on restaurants as they are two very different experiences. Either I want to eat in a restaurant, or stop by a food truck. Lastly, food trucks are entrepreneurial, and add to the economics of the city.

I believe these changes will have a great negative impact on individuals who depend on this as their sole income. We have so many bigger problems at hand affecting our pockets and our environments/communities. Food truck businesses are far more helpful & less hurtful than the current war on drugs, Pedophiles trying to gain rights, constant bicker of transgender bathrooms, physical illnesses... but these aren’t to mention issues even larger than those! Take the vending machines filled with sugary or salty snacks/food out of our hospitals and schools. Do something in the line of making difference more than one way rather than hurting local families.

This ordinance is ridiculous! Lines on sidewalks are there even on bus stops and whoever proposed this must need a hug. Why can’t we be decent human beings and say excuse me or walk around? Food trucks are greatly missed right now in downtown because of construction and I would hate for them to not be able to do busIness in their normal places. I would start packing lunches more and not invest in other Kentucky restaurants if this ordinance was passed.

America which includes Louisville is built on free enterprise. If you don't like food truck don't eat at them. But don't limit a man's dreams, goals and income because of it. We should be able to have close and numerous options for eatting while at work or an event. Why should big names business monopolize our choices in what we put in our body and how we spend out money.

The city strives to be world classs. To create economic success. To be an incubator for innovation and start up. To attract young bright educated individuals. These individuals want the same in their food. To limit where the best and brightest of Louisville work and play to big box cardboard chains and overpriced formal establishments will limit the possibility city economically and create an even greater stain on business to attract and retain talent in downtown Louisville.

I admire the many hard-working tax paying folk of the food truck business, especially Kyle & Alexis Thomas. I've known Kyle for life and know him to be one hard working man! Food trucks are a great part of our community and they bring great food to many areas where there would be no other options (coming to our factories and our offices, our festivals, our parties). So, I stand in opposition of this ordinance that would cause irreparable harm to these young businesses.

Food trucks don’t take business away from restaurants. The people who eat at trucks generally don’t have more than 30 mins to eat lunch. That’s not enough time to go to a restaurant, be seated, wait for server, order, wait for food, eat, pay bill, and get back to the office all in 30 mins. Food trucks can get people good food at reasonable prices in that time frame. It’s a service people want.

Even though I don't live in Louisville I do work in Louisville and restricting where food trucks can be and operate is a 100% mistake. The reason food trucks work and are popular is because they come to people instead of people coming to them. People need food trucks especially if they need something very quick before a big meeting or something similar. Please do not do what government always does which is get in the way and mess things up! Signed a hungry concerned citizen.

As a former Louisville resident & employee of a downtown Louisville business, please do not impose an ordinance that is burdensome and/or unfair to the food truck vendors - including but not limited to restrictions on where they can park & for how long. The food truck vendors provide a welcomed variety to the downtown food options. They provide some of the best food options available for lunch in downtown Louisville. Restricting this is unfair not only to the hard-working, much loved vendors - it’s unfair to everyone who works in downtown Louisville who enjoys their foods. There are many other issues in downtown Louisville to put your energy into dealing with. The food trucks are not one of those problems. Please, focus your time & energy on the real issues facing downtown Louisville. I know I am no longer a Louisville resident, but I love Louisville. I still visit frequently. Please consider my comments. Thank you. From: Wufoo To: MetroCouncilClerk Subject: Itinerant Vendors, Peddlers & Solicitors Ordinance [#426] Date: 10/26/2018 7:02:50 PM

We absolutely do NOT need this ordinance. You’re going to kick off a very thriving and growing part of the Louisville community. People from out of town ask me where to eat, and I tell them when and where the can find my favorite food truck. I work at Humana on W.Main street and I will tell you that having the food trucks there provide more variety for us thousands of employees, than our cafeteria EVER will. I look forward everyday to seeing the different trucks, and what is new out there. Thursday’s are epaically sacred to Humana employees due to the Traveling Kitchen food truck, it is a staple to us at Humana. We have made friends with the individuals who operate the truck and they have become someone we look forward to seeing. As someone who works 13 hours a day at two places who have food trucks visit... they are vital to my everyday life. And like I said before, people really enjoy food trucks. We have a great food truck community going on in Louisville and we really want to take away something that is clearly thriving ? Save our food trucks.

As a Louisville native and a child of two parents who teamed together to run their own small business when I was a child, the proposition of this ordinance upsets me greatly. Louisville is known nationwide for its booming culinary scene and what better way to celebrate delicious eats than from a quaint, Mom and Pop ran food truck. Please allow families and individuals trying to share their passion and love of food to continue striving in the Louisville community. Food trucks deserve to be there! Period.

Why would you pass ordinances that inhibit someone's ability to work and provide for their family. My friend owns and operates a food truck there in Louisville. He is a combat Veteran as am I. Let's support those that swore an oath to protect the freedom everyone takes for granted every day by supporting their ability to simply work. If people disnt want to eat at these places than there wouldn't be a demand for these trucks. So who is this bothering? A few businesses that think food trucks are an eye sore? Bored business owners downtown that think food trucks keep patrons from visiting their stores? Put the names of the people and businesses that want this to pass so they can defend their position. Taking jobs away from a combat veteran is shameful and as a city, Louisville should be ashamed.

I hope these changes do not happen- the wonderful part of a food truck is that it’s location can change and for the owner and business it means steady income having that freedom.

Creating new laws to unfairly restrict the ability to sell ones products in order to promote less competition for established (stationary) restaurants is neither the Louisville or American way. Who on the metro counci is getting kickbacks from the local resturant scene which is making them sway their original decision to allow food trucks to ply their wares? It's disgusting. Downtown resutrants thrive or fail every year with or without the addition of the food truck niche. Review fair business practices and quit condemning the hard working food truck society like they are the cause of something bad. They only bring diversity to the downtown foodie menus.

I believe Louisville's downtown Food Truck scene benefits not only small businesses, but it brings a greater, more convenient, and truly efficient way for us workers downtown to find lunch. Food trucks are a staple in major cities, and have been welcomed by the populace at large. There never seems to be any "disorder" brought about because of food trucks as has been claimed - more so the alliances between certain council members and tired brick and mortars that serve the same old menu as they have for eons, fighting fresh competition in the form of a variety of food trucks, with quick and delicious food that customers choose over the "same old same old" stale choices. I fully support the rights of Food Trucks to operate as they have to best serve the downtown crowds. It would be hard to find workers downtown that would oppose them. Progress comes in many ways, after all. From: Wufoo To: MetroCouncilClerk Subject: Itinerant Vendors, Peddlers & Solicitors Ordinance [#496] Date: 10/30/2018 3:56:40 PM

I believe there should not be any changes. Food trucks have a right to be in the business district and be seen during lunch time. Many people don’t like the same thing everyday and the trucks bring a variety. They are trying to make a living like a brick and mortar place. Some are even trying to have a brick and mortar but for the time being a food truck is the start of business. Don’t change the laws.

As long as they pay for their parking place like others, leave them alone, We need our community leaders to focus on the right thing. This is not it, move to the next item!

I think its ABSOLUTELY unfair to keep moving the goal line for these buisness people. What is the motive behind the change?? My guess is its restaurant owners not wanting the competition and local POLITICIANS trying to appease them. Barbara sexton Smith's explanation made no sense at all. Why does she want to fix what isn't broke ??? Leave these folks slone and let them earn their livings and perfect their crafts. We the people benefit greatly from the service they provide From: Wufoo To: MetroCouncilClerk Subject: Itinerant Vendors, Peddlers & Solicitors Ordinance [#501] Date: 10/30/2018 8:59:16 PM

These are local independant business owners just trying to make a living by giving the community great food and a healthier choice than fast food . Also helping people have a more enjoyable lunch break which promotes a better attitude about their job in which are just as important for our community as the food trucks. A happy employee will go above and beyond what is required of them . Since most of these food trucks are placed downtown where the said jobs that make this city and community are located.

I’m a nightshifter so I don’t deal with these vendors on a daily basis...thankfully. Yesterday I had a doctors appointment by Norton hospital and I walked down Chestnut. I felt like I was at the State fair. So many of those trucks on both sides of the streets. The smell of exhaust was overwhelming. I could see how this could make someone who has health issues already very sick. Maybe limit how many in a 1 block area. There were no meters available in that area at all.

Please allow food trucks to continue to operate using the existing meters and spaces available now. They work hard to find places with customers who desire their business and they pay for their spaces just like everyone else. They need the flexibility of parking near the customers in order for their businesses to survive. I have personally seen an individual who worked hard to establish his food truck business, and is now successful, and the proposed ordinance could ruin his business.

I am very disappointed that the city council is considering legislation that is so blatantly needless and designed to target a specific industry; food trucks. Food truck owners and operators are entrepreneurs who add to the culinary charm of the city. I have never witnessed the food trucks burden the public right of way or negatively impact daily life in and around the city. The council needs to get their priorities straight and leave small businesses alone! Keep Louisville Weird!

Kill this ordinance. Let people thrive w their food truck business as the MARKET decides who gets business and who does not. Where someone parks shouldn’t be of concern. This is why Government is BAD for business. You LET the MARKET decide w whom they want to spend their hard earned dollars. Brick and mortar eateries or food trucks. Quit being political parasites eating away at the fabric of the pure MARKET. Please stop this ordinance.

I will organize my comments by section of the proposed ord.: SECTION II amending LMCO #72.085(A): As edited may conflict with #115.356 if Stationary Vending Zones (SVZ) include metered sections of street. Prohibiting parking meter hoods requires some other system be developed to restrict meters. #115.352 (4) License app require applicant to state proposed place of business, i.e, Stationary Vending Zone. It is unclear how the applicant shall obtains such information, how conflicts shall be resolved, how more desirable zones are allocated (e.g. a lottery), and, more importantly, the term of assignment (annual, lifetime of business. etc.). There will naturally be "better" locations; once assigned, does a Vendor have first dibs on that same location each "season" or year? #115.356 There is no guidance on how, when, or where authority is to establish permitted locations for SVZs. This is not a trivial problem. Is Jefferson County Govt. prepared to develop the Bureau required to do this top-down because it is going to be costly? Its going to take research and there will have to be systems and facilities to make it happen. It seems that its much simpler to let the Vendors/demand (bottom-up) drive this than to set up some governmental agency to complicate things and drive up costs for the vendors and the public. #115.358 (A) The provision is contradictory as edited. Either everyone must be 18yo or older, OR they need a work permit. (E) This is unenforceable as written. Must define terms such as "unreasonably loud," "harsh," "excessive." Perhaps set a decibel limit, e.g. 60dB. BTW, what is "Chapter 99?" (F) This restriction is a "Gotcha!" Requiring generators to be no louder than 70dB is a "lock-out" specification. Virtually ALL generators commercially available for food truck applications produce more than 70dB at full load. Sound levels of 50dB to 60dB are typical @ 25% load but mostly for inverter-type generators. These types are very expensive and may, in fact be prohibitive in the economics of a food truck. This restriction needs to be re-examined with regard to how reasonable and practical it is. (H) The language here regarding people congregating at the food stand bein an "obstruction" needs to be clarified. Depending on the location and the sidewalk width, this restriction could be used by authorities to limit customers attempting to do business with the vendor From: Wufoo To: MetroCouncilClerk Subject: Itinerant Vendors, Peddlers & Solicitors Ordinance [#508] Date: 10/31/2018 12:47:05 PM

There's no need for the change. This will hurt local businesses. If parking is an issue, wrap up the construction you've been dragging your feet on.

Food trucks should be able to reserve their spots on meters, just like cars do. They are paying for the spaces they rent, and money is being made for the city.

This ordinance hurts the trucks & the consumer.

The proposed changes will effectively r7n food trucks out of downtown. People DEPEND on food trucks to deliver good food in a timely manner. Some only have limited windows for kunch, as low as 30 minutes. Being able to walk right outside, pick which truck to eat from and have a meal in under 10 minutes gives people TIME to enjoy a meal. Having to do farther to get a meal only eliminates them as an option for food.

I find the proposed vendor legislation is not an attempt to clear the muddy waters, but more a last ditch attempt to protect brick-and-mortar eateries.

Many food trucks serve the hospitals and medical campus downtown. They are not simply just a convenience, but they are also considered part of our community. Their presence encourages social interaction, and allows medical/health professionals to take a little break from their intensive work environment and experience some normalcy. Most of us don't have time to go sit at some restaurant to have our lunch. This ordinance seems unnecessary and places an undue burden on these small businesses. Your ordinance also seems to lack some transparency or details/specifics. This is another reason why a lot of people oppose this. I implore you to reconsider/redesign this ordinance WITH the input of the people of the food trucks so that it becomes a win-win situation.

As someone who has to frequent downtown for work, meetings, and other purposes I love having the food trucks at meters. It’s convenient and a benefit to our community. Added regulations will harm our city and be counter productive. It will artificially put food trucks in set, less ideal, locations and make affordable food accessibility more difficult for downtown patrons. The trucks should go where there is need and not be forced to specific locations. The negative impact of food truck zone(s) would greatly outweigh any benefit from having minimal parking spots be open. The maximum spots I have seen taken is two for one truck. That number does not substantially take away from the numerous lots and other parking available downtown. If the city was so concerned about constructions impact on the parking situation then they should have considered that before scheduling so many projects at once downtown.

Please do not pass this ordinance. I do not work downtown but I know several people who regularly get their lunch from these vendors. I also enjoy going to breweries that host food trucks and with what I’ve read in the details of this proposal, my friends would no longer have access to convenient, affordable, and unique lunch choices. Nor would I be able to get these specialty items at locations that don’t have their own kitchens.

It's bull some of the restaurants probably have friends on the board / council to help them out or contribute to their campaign that's why they are coming down on food trucks because of that very reason. Trucks are abiding by all rules but it's a political thing. From: Wufoo To: MetroCouncilClerk Subject: Itinerant Vendors, Peddlers & Solicitors Ordinance [#554] Date: 11/1/2018 8:49:04 PM

We love to root our wonderful foodie town, but part of that is the delicious food our local chefs and cooks provide via foos truck.

If a food truck is paying for the time that they are on a metered space - leave them alone! Unless the city can designate an area for food trucks to specifically park, that is not inconvenient for their customers to get to - leave them be! Or maybe come up with a food truck schedule, so there aren't too many food trucks on the streets at one time.

Food trucks to me are a outlet for people who want to be small business owners and make a living in the food industry who cannot at the time afford a brick and mortar. There are restaurants who started off as food trucks that are successful and thriving and employeeing people. Food trucks Aldo bring a diversity of food options and cultures that many may not be exposed to otherwise.

Dictating where trucks can park and serve the community unfairly limits these small business owners and pushes them out of our city. There is middle ground that can be found here that will not limit the audience they are able to cater to. Do what is right by our small business owners and remove these obstacles for our food trucks. Embrace them and they will better serve us. From: Wufoo To: MetroCouncilClerk Subject: Itinerant Vendors, Peddlers & Solicitors Ordinance [#563] Date: 11/2/2018 8:18:09 AM

As a citizen, I want to keep food trucks downtown. If you are going to change the rules, please change them to encourage small businesses such as food trucks. Perhaps we should focus on creating designated safe spaces for these food trucks to operate. I also do not understand why having a food truck parked nearby would interfere in any way with a hospital or church.

The food trucks provide a welcome variety of food choices in the downtown business area. It is easy to reach them. While I do patronize restaurants, I thoroughly enjoy the unique food the food trucks offer. For many of these food truck owners, this is their only livelihood. Requiring them to move to an obscure location away from the flow of the workers would be devastating.

I disagree with the proposed regulation as there appear to be ample parking spaces available in downtown Louisville for all parties to use. Targeting these selected entrepreneurs for using these spaces for a few hours a day seems capricious and not in the best interest of the people of Louisville. These vendors are providing a desirable, legal service to customers who are not necessarily well served in the variety of food items available through traditional brick and mortar vendors. Provided the vendors have met the already burdensome licensing and regulatory requirements required of traditional food vendors, Metro Council should not further regulate their livelihoods and prevent potential customer from enjoying their services. If the Council has determined there to be insufficient parking through objective data, the issue is not the food trucks, but rather the city's lack of action in allowing for the construction of parking lots/structures. Deal with the problem not the symptom and stop regulating businesses out of existence.

I am writing in opposition to the proposed changes for food trucks. To be clear--I am NOT a food truck owner, but I am a small business owner in a completely unrelated and unaffected industry (Massage Therapy). Food trucks add a delightful variety of food to the local downtown landscape, and I always look forward to stumbling upon a line of trucks waiting for my money and to serve me delicious foods; I patronize them at least weekly. As I understand it, the proposed changes would seriously hurt the downtown food truck industry, essentially putting them out of business. We tout our city as "possibility city" and yet we throw up barrier after barrier to small entrepreneurs to reach their full potential and make their dreams possible. What could possibly be driving these changes is far beyond my understanding, but it sure isn't to build a robust , thriving local economy, that's for sure! I urge everyone on Metro Council to not even entertain these changes as proposed. Perhaps a better solution would be to sit down with local patrons, local food truck owners, and metro council representatives to discuss the underlying issues and concerns so that an agreeable and mutually beneficial solution could be achieved...how many food truck operators were on the committee to propose these changes?

Paragraph 7 of the Consent Decree states that Louisville will not disadvantage mobile vendors by treating them differently than other commercial vehicles, which are permitted to park at public parking spaces as part of conducting their trade. The proposed Ordinance greatly restricts vending operations and absolutely does treat mobile vendors differently from other commercial vehicles. It does so in three distinct ways: 1) First, the proposed ordinance would prohibit mobile vendors from parking in a metered parking space in order to vend. Section I (amending LMCO § 72.803). It therefore treats vendors differently than other commercial vehicles, which can park in a space as part of their commercial enterprise. For instance, a UPS truck can park in a metered parking space so that its driver can pick up or deliver packages, just as a repair truck can park in a metered parking space so that the repairperson has a base of operations during their repair job. 2) The proposed Ordinance prohibits food trucks’ ability, at our own significant expense, to bag a meter, yet allows others to bag a meter temporarily for various purposes, including “construction or maintenance work.” This provision deprives food trucks of their primary vending locations. As with point 1, this provision treats food trucks differently than other commercial vehicles, which is specifically forbidden by the Consent Decree. 3) Paragraph 5 of the Consent Decree stipulates that food trucks are “mobile food unit vendors” under the LMCO and “do not fall within the scope of any other category of regulated vendors” including “itinerant vendor”, “mobile vendor, peddler, and/or stationery vendor.” You can not reclassify us or combine us into any other category. This proposed Ordinance violates the Consent Decree. It is not about health or safety but is a thinly veiled secondary attempt to favor one industry, restaurants, over our food truck industry. It was illegal before and it’s illegal now. Governments simply are not permitted to pass protectionist laws. City of Philadelphia v. New Jersey, 437 U.S. 617, 624 (1978) states that (“[W]here simple economic protectionism is effected by state legislation, a virtually per se rule of invalidity has been erected.”); similarly in Craigmiles v. Giles, 312 F.3d 220, 224 (6th Cir. 2002)it states that (“Courts have repeatedly recognized that protecting a discrete interest group from economic competition is not a legitimate governmental purpose.”).

I work downtown and I work in a building where there is only one choice of food. People love to eat. There's more than enough business for the restaurants and the food trucks. The food trucks are very much welcomed because they give us the opportunity to have choices. The food trucks allow us to have diversity from Barbecue, (my favorite), to tacos, to Italian. The trucks don't take away from our downtown, they actually add to the growth of our communities and city.

I oppose any changes that will make food truck vendors suffer any loses in business in the downtown area. Louisville has fast become a known destination for food and entertainment and food trucks have allowed greater growth in that boom. Stifling the smaller vendors will not only do damage to them, but it will not likely return business to the brick and mortar locations that want to make these changes.

I am against the changes to the regulations surrounding food trucks in Louisville. The proposed changes to where food trucks can locate and operate are too restrictive and I feel will negatively impact Louisville's food truck industry and the environment they have brought to downtown. Two of the main issues brought up with this ordinance seem like non-issues and/or excuses to try and justify passing excessive regulation. First, having food trucks being able to park in metered spaces downtown is necessary for their business model to work properly. They are not numerous enough to have a serious impact on the availability of parking meters. If there is a serious concern about a lack of available spaces, I would want the city to consider and present more alternatives. Second, the noise generated by their power supplies and operation is a non issue. The downtown area is a commercial district that has a very high noise level during the day already. The noise from the food trucks is quickly drowned out by the background noise. If the city is concerned about the noise levels downtown, restricting noise levels of food trucks won't solve the problem. I would suggest the city look into ways to convert our existing roadways into streets that have lower density, are more environmentally friendly, and are multi-use.

I work at the downtown hospital campus. Between Norton hospital and Norton Children’s there are VERY limited food options. This is surprising to our patient’s families as we are a large hospital organization, but the choices are NOT there. When you are admitted you get told about the cafeteria or a binder of take-out menus with the limited food choices of places that deliver (Chinese or pizza or Jimmy Johns). NCH does not even have a cafeteria on site. Families of the sickest children in the state have to walk way out of their way over to Norton hospital to find food. The food truck provide variety, delicious options, and a chance to get sunshine or fresh air. It serves as a break for both the hospital staff and patient’s families. When not working shifts, I seak out our local food trucks. I follow them on social media. I look for them at festivals and events. I’ve even been purchasing food from a food truck vendor when an inspector showed up to look at the truck. Everything was fine if course and I continued with my order. The proposed ordnance changes are a huge STEP BACK for our community. Food trucks are a wonderful addition to our city, parks, and events. Let them park (in one spot) for the day and do their job serving our community! No to these ordinance changes!

As the owner of The Celtic Pig food truck, I strongly oppose the proposed ordinance that would restrict mobile food vendors. We have been operating our food truck in Louisville for 4 years, and our success has been due, in large part, to our ability to decide where we want to set up to reach our customers. Any ordinance that takes away that freedom would seriously hurt our business. We intend to open a brick and mortar restaurant in the very near future -- hopefully in downtown Louisville. We have always appreciated the entrepreneurial atmosphere in Louisville. That's why we started our business here and why we hope to expand it here. The most thriving and energized downtown areas I have visited around this country seem to have a booming food truck industry. In fact, this week we are in New Orleans, and there are a lot of food trucks in city center -- right alongside thriving brick and mortar establishments! Please don't impose regulations on an industry that is thriving and contributing so much to the cultural and culinary diversity of our great city!

This ordinance is a bad idea. Food trucks provide a better option for the hard working people of Louisville. It also helps tourism in our city. If the ordinance passes you will effectively push Louisville back. No one is complaining about food trucks other than other restaurants, and in America we are allowed to compete against other businesses. This ordinance is a crime against local small business owners like myself. I am a medically retired disabled veteran who has to work for myself because of my medical conditions, this ordinance WILL make my business fail leaving me without a job to support my family.

These proposed changes are a detriment to my business, Grecian Mama, a food truck here in Louisville. My success is because of the freedom to go to various locations and BE SEEN. Much of my income comes being able to go downtown and sell to customers that are choosing to eat Greek food that day. It is not the government’s job, or right, to manipulate people’s choices. People have a right to choose where they eat and what they eat. This is unconstitutional and against the capitalistic foundation in which this country was built. Louisville is always touting that they want to be more of a metropolitan and diverse city yet, it’s trying to squelch an industry that accomplishes exactly this. Food trucks are woven into the fabric of the majority of thriving metropolises in the nation. The diverse cultures represented by the many cuisines in Louisville’s food truck fleet should be appreciated and encouraged as it helps to complete the picture of the forward thinking city that Louisville claims to be.

Cutting down on or restricting local food vendors, any local vendors for that matter, is killing the dreams and happiness of OUR local people. What kind of a message does it send to young and or aspiring entrepreneurs? How does it make the people feel to think they aren't supported in their own city? As a chef and aspiring entrepreneur I think this is unjust and plain awful and will gladly move away and give my efforts and taxes to a city that supports its people.

This is a gross infringement on a particular industry for no rational reason. To think that food trucks hindering restaurant performance for free standing brick and mortars is ridiculous. If restaurants are under performing then they need to let the free market make the decision that they either need to change, upgrade, or close. To think that government would osterisize and dictate where they can and cannot operate after agreeing and fighting for the terms at present is absolutely nonsense. City council should be appalled at this as this is an industry that while small is part of what makes other cities in the region such as Indianapolis and Nashville what they are. An ordinance like this would be a huge indicator to restauranteurs that says “Don’t come to this city, we don’t support you”. That in and of itself is stupid and short sighted. Do not pass this! If it magically does pass it please understand council man/woman that your days will be numbered. ~ Kevin From: Wufoo To: MetroCouncilClerk Subject: Itinerant Vendors, Peddlers & Solicitors Ordinance [#672] Date: 11/12/2018 9:38:21 AM

Louisville is known for being a city that supports an incredible number of independent restaurants. The growth of food trucks in our city is a testament to that. As someone who works downtown 5 days a week I love having the many different cuisine options the food trucks offer. The proposed changes to this ordinance is a step backward instead of progression. It makes absolutely no sense to force these businesses to park in a stationary location taking away the very purpose of their existence which is to be able to serve different parts of the city on different days. It is my understanding that the city is still being paid for the spaces these trucks use and there is plenty of parking still available for visitors to downtown. Please don't tarnish Louisville's positive culinary reputation by passing a regulation that feeds the negative connotation that we are as backward as the state of Kentucky is viewed by other parts of the country.

Food trucks are an incredible asset to the culinary diversity of Louisville. They take up maximum two spaces and ALWAYS pay for their spot. If a restaurant feels they have competition, they should focus on their own menu and service to compete better, not try to lobby against food truck owners. There is no legitimate basis for this attempted restriction on food truck location.

The proposed restrictions target food trucks in an unfair way, valuing a few parking spaces over the hundreds of people each truck is able to serve food to downtown. The solution to parking issues is not freeing up a dozen more spaces by banning food trucks, and the suggestion that that's the only motivation behind the proposed restrictions is not credible. Let Louisville food trucks continue to operate and reject these proposed rule changes! It's what the broader Louisville community wants.

I have worked with the food truck association for many years. They provide a “cool” factor for visitors as well as convenience during lunch for people who work downtown. They also help out during conventions/tradeshows at the Kentucky Expo Center where we have a serious lack of restaurants. We need to make it easier for the food trucks to operate in Louisville, not place more obstacles in front of them. Thank you!!!

These changes are going to cause a lot of working local citizens to lose their job, let alone business! Keep Louisville local! They should have the right to park where it is populated by other workers on lunch break.

I am against food truck zones or any similar regulation. Public metered parking spots are public. If someone wants an individual spot more than a food truck, then they should arrive earlier. The current ordinances already charge food trucks more than the regular rate for the metered spots. It is to the advantage of the public to allow the food trucks to choose their location. These are hardworking entrepreneurs and they know their business much better than anyone within the city government. It is very suspicious and telling that the zone locations/hours that would be dictated by the city have not been discussed or made publicly available. Furthermore, some council members have compared the food truck zones to the ones needed for vehicles such as taxis. Comparing food truck zones to taxi zones is misleading and dishonest. Food trucks are stationary for hours when conducting business and therefore do not present the same safety concerns that taxis and other vehicles present. Those vehicles want to stop on the side of the road to drop off or pick up clients/packages, which is far different and much more dangerous than remaining stationary in a parking spot.

I support creating “vending zones” away from busy areas where on street parking is needed. Chesnut Street between Norton Hospital and Frazier Rehab is especially bad. People need these parking spaces for urgent visits to the hospital, patient pick up, business meetings and many other hospital functions. The generators on the trucks are extremely loud bouncing noise off the concrete buildings and stinking up the sidewalks. It’s very unpleasant and most of them look unprofessional. The majority of hospital staff I interact with bring their own lunch or are more inclined to eat in the cafe were there are much healthier and more affordable food choices.

I am opposed to Food trucks being banned from parking at city meters. We have a few around downtown hospitals, and they have delicious food and don't bother anyone. We have parking garages for patients and families. If they were moved, staff and visitors couldn't get to them, they wouldn't be accessible and would kill their business. Why is Louisville trying to kill small businesses? I spoke with a couple of food vendor trucks regarding this issue and they are both opposed and say they couldn't make it if they had to move over to Gray street, there's just not the people there. We have wonderful, unique food here and we need to embrace it, not kill it. Also it provides jobs for people. Thanks, JoAnne Taheri 1526 Cherokee Rd.

The new proposed laws regarding food truck vendors is absurd. Why in the world would anyone want this, especially if the trucks are paying for their parking spots.

This ordinance is complete garbage and only proves that Ms. Smith & Mr. Coan are bed buddies with the restaurant owners because why else would they care about killing small business owners? They are the typical swamp monsters that look out for themselves only- not caring about free enterprise. As taxpayers we should have the right to choose who we do business with but this is another case of the government sticking its nose where it doesn’t belong. I love my food trucks & know the owners by name & you are killing their business. Louisville has a chance to become a thriving city but it’s the slimy politicians who would rather look out for their own pocketbooks in this case - as usual.

Do not limit where the food trucks can park! I rely on them for great, gourmet, nutritious food throughout the week at various locations in Louisville because of my schedule. If their business is hurting brick & mortar restaurants, then it is those businesses who need to look at their clientele and business model, not the food trucks!

I'm writing to oppose the proposed legislation. Food trucks provide a diversity of options that would otherwise be lacking. Furthermore, in the areas where I find them, parking isn't an issue because there are numerous parking lots nearby. Thus, they greatly benefit our city, cause little disruption of infrastructure, and therefore, should not be burdened by this unnecessary regulation. Finally, if such vending zones were indeed needed, the most fair and transparent way to enact this rule would be to decide on the zones before voting on them.

I believe that the idea of designated areas is horrible. I fear that the restaurant association has dropped a lot of money to push this. We pretend to be a forward, cosmopolitan city, but this restrictive ordinance sets us apart from other cities who are walking the walk.

A correction to something said repeatedly at the second hearing. Food Trucks are definitely NOT the only ones who can bag meters. Besides the obvious MSD, who does pay to bag meters, the Palace/Mercury Ballroom bag meters all along their block for weddings and special events to get limos in and out, and Actor's Theater bags meters for schoolbuses to park on Main.

Food trucks offer a diverse selection of food to our city. Louisville is known for being all inclusive and embracing diversity. Don't stop now! From: Wufoo To: MetroCouncilClerk Subject: Itinerant Vendors, Peddlers & Solicitors Ordinance [#730] Date: 11/16/2018 12:02:27 PM

My husband and I are wanting to come to Louisville with our food trailer and hope that the changes are not enforced. We feel that due to the limitations on location and time that we would not be able to have our food ready to serve by the set amount of time.

The food trucks provide an invaluable service to downtown workers. I often times barely have more than 30 minutes to grab a meal, and I certainly do not have time to walk 3 blocks or sit down for over an hour and pay a tip for a waitress, etc., just to get a quick meal. The food trucks provide revenue to the city and do not obstruct foot or vehicular traffic (no more than all the construction, at least)! Louisville wants to encourage everyone to "keep it weird", but wants to shut down the unique food trucks that are so popular with workers and visitors, while also providing an honest living for many small business owners who are trying to strike out on their own but who may not be able to afford a full-service restaurant configuration.

The proposed changes are protectionism and favor one class of business over another. In fact Louisville metro has engaged in actively attacking established businesses. When 4th Street Live was first opened the city arranged for TARC trolleys to convey patrons free of charge from the established bars and restaurants along Baxter Avenue to the 4th Street Live complex. Pure favoritism. Now the city wants to attack a growing segment of hard working members of our community by changing the rules they've abided by. It seems that Louisville Metro Council is arbitrary in its choices and is hiding behind parking issues to protect selected businesses. Metro Council already established rules for food trucks and they went into business under those rules. And, while it is trivial in nature, I would at least expect a council member to park correctly downtown while advocating that others must comply.

I manage a large building outside of the designated "downtown" area on Broadway. I have had the opportunity to work with the LFTA over the past several months in bringing options to our area, that we would not normally have. My concern is that we will be forced out of the designated area, and no longer have this option. It seems like there is a personal vendetta against the LFTA, and once again the city of Louisville refuses to embrace the changing times. By forcing these vendors into a designated area, you will limit the choices that the hard working individuals have, and I don't think that is right., Please allow the LFTA to continue to park where they want, and give options. If this is because Brick and Mortars are having to face heavy competition, then maybe they need to step up their service and quality, and let the best win the business.
