ROCK SPRINGS — The Rock Springs City Council is looking at a resolution supporting the creation of mobile vendor sector control policy, which will be used to provide wastewater disposal guidance for vendors.

The Council will meet at its regular meeting, Tuesday, November 2, at 7 p.m. at City Hall. During the meeting, the Council will review a resolution outlining the proper waste disposal procedures mobile vendors, including food trucks, must follow.

If approved, mobile vendors will be required to follow all disposal and record keeping requirements spelled out in the Mobile Vendor Sector Control Policy.

Under the disposal portion, the policy states “The following locations are specifically prohibited from being used; RV dumps, carwashes, home clean outs, manholes, storm drains/inlets or surface locations.”

As for record keeping, “all wastewater disposed of by a mobile food vendor must be recorded.”

Mobile vendors will also need to allow city personnel access for inspections, sampling, and record examination.

The policy also states the city can refuse wastewater from a mobile vendor if they are found in noncompliance.

See the document below for the resolution and the policy.

Other Business

The Council will read an ordinance called “Permitting and Regulation of Mobile Vendors” for a second time. This ordinance is being created to recognize the growing number of mobile vendors throughout the city. A lot of input from mobile vendors was made at the last meeting, and the city is working to amend the ordinance per those discussions.

Also under ordinances, the Council will read an ordinance amending Article 10-3, entitled “Transient Merchants, Peddlers and Solicitors” for a second time. This ordinance is being amended to remove the transient merchant language.

Under presentations, the Council will listen to a fire prevention program update from Rock Springs Fire Department representatives.
