In order to minimize inconsistencies for mobile food vendors coming over from across the river, we essentially copied the Omaha city code relating to the regulation of food vendors back in 2019.  City staff has determined the ordinance encompasses too many areas of food distribution, and due to lack of staff available to truly police all vendors, it was determined that several exceptions would clear confusion about who is covered under the ordinance and allow staff to focus on food trucks.  This also allows other vendors such as farmer’s markets to operate with their established State of Iowa permits and under the purview of the State.
