The Douglas County Food Policy Council is reviewing the permitting processes, fees and requirements for mobile food vendors in Douglas County.

The Food Policy Council’s goal is to facilitate conversations to help create equitable and fair regulations, provide sufficient resources and offer efficient systems and processes for food truck owners to operate in the community.


Council members are engaging interested and affected groups in Douglas County through tabling events at markets and a community survey that was prepared by research partner Dr. Susan Harvey, associate professor in the School of Education and Human Sciences. The survey will be open through Oct. 15 and can be filled out here: https://kusurvey.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bBZI6yAqYh8Nh4O 

If you have questions about the survey, please contact the Food Policy Council by email at dcfpc@dgcoks.gov
