Omaha council approves regulations for food trucks

Omaha, NEOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Omaha City Council has approved several new regulations for food trucks.

Council members approved Mayor Jean Stothert’s (STAH’-thurt’s) package at Tuesday’s council meeting. They take effect Nov. 16.

The new rules say trucks may be operated until 2:30 a.m. each day. They can’t be parked nearer than 50 feet from a restaurant and can’t be parked on private property unless the property owner approves.

The truck operators will have to pay an annual licensing fee of $100, plus an additional $100 if they operate downtown.

Earlier this year the council rejected an ordinance that would have imposed the city’s restaurant tax on the truck operators.
