Katy City Council Amends Mobile Food Vendor Ordinance to Align with State Law
The council considered an ordinance amending the code of ordinances, Article 6.05, Chapter 6 (Health and Sanitation), Division 3 (Mobile Food Vendors). The amendment aims to align city ordinances with state law, specifically regarding mobile food vendor permits, allowing a single state-issued permit to be valid city-wide. The ordinance also specifies that vendors must park on paid-for improved surfaces. This amendment was passed without community feedback on this version, as it primarily serves to comply with state legislative changes. The motion to remove the ordinance was made and seconded by Councilmembers Neals and Taylor, respectively, indicating a move to approve the amendment.
