New rules could make it easier for food trucks in Chandler, and that could mean more food vendors downtown.
The current regulations were written before food trucks became popular. Food trucks must follow the regulations for mobile food units. Matthew Dunbar, with the city of Chandler, said food trucks are a unique industry, and new regulations are needed.
"We still want people going from door to door to have identification cards, but we don’t think that every employee on the food truck that’s cooking food in the truck needs to have an identification card, which under the current code, they do," Dunbar said. "We don’t feel that everybody on the food truck has to have a fingerprint done, which the current person going door-to-door making sales has to do."
The regulations are still being finalized and will be presented Oct. 22 to the Chandler City Council.
