Anyone who works in a food truck or with any mobile food vendor is now required to provide personal information about their employment to town hall.
The Okarche Town Trustees approved requirements for mobile food vendors at their regular Monday, March 30 meeting.
The fees for a one-day license is $10, three days $20 or for one week, $30.
An annual license cost $100.
Names, dates of birth, addresses and telephone numbers of mobile food vendor employees will be required, Town Attorney Bryce Kennedy said at the meeting.
“I thought that was consistent with what the town board wanted at the last meeting, that’s what you’ve got here,” Kennedy said.
