Emmetsburg City Council voted unanimously to adopt a city ordinance that allows mobile food units at their Monday night meeting.
A proposal to allow mobile food units in the City of Emmetsburg was discussed late last year. After listening to the pros and cons, council members tabled action on the ordinance. The code section outlines peddlers, solicitors and transient merchants and would also include mobile food units.
With the proposal on the Feb. 22 agenda, City Administrator Kim Kibbie addressed the council.
“This was tabled from November of last year,” she reminded the councilmen. “I still feel very strongly that we need to have something on the books.”
