On the council meeting on December 3, 2012, the food truck vendors from the September meeting returned. On September 10, the council was still unsure of what action to take regarding mobile food services. Therefore, the decision was postponed to December 3. On December 3, the council heard and discussed both sides of any potential decision. On one side, there was the safety issue. Mobile food trucks are large and take up two parking spaces. They also block pedestrian views and access points. There is also the issue of competition. Is it fair that a private company is given a public parking space? Isn’t such endorsement unfair to the other local businesses? However, on the other side, there is the issue of small business and economic growth. Food truck vendors want to come to Greenwood Village and set up a business. Why should anyone discourage them? The food truck vendors pay property and sales taxes, and are therefore contributing to the local economy. It is unwise to dissuade them and send them to another district. After much debate, the council decided to push the decision until December 17 so more debate could be heard.
