Committee places mobile food truck complaint on file after neighborhood noise resolved
The Committee on Ordinances received a written communication Sept. 29 requesting review of the mobile food truck ordinance, including permitted locations, generator use and noise. The item was referred in 2024 and the committee voted to receive and place the communication on file.

Councilor Brian Gomes described a Riverside incident in which a truck with a loud gas generator prompted neighborhood complaints. He said the operator subsequently purchased a quieter generator and the neighborhood reported no further issues. Gomes moved "receive and place on file" and Councilor Naomi Carney seconded; the committee approved the motion by voice vote and recorded "no further action" on the item.

The committee recorded no additional steps; councilors noted the administration will monitor and that enforcement or ordinance changes could be revisited if complaints recur.
