Board Discussion:
County Attorney Richard Wm. Wesch touched on the comments and concerns of the
public speaker and if it pleased the Board, recommended continuing this matter to the December 7, 2021
meeting. Mr. Wesch stated that continuing the hearing would provide the Board the ability to discuss
and direct staff to investigate certain aspects of the ordinance such as the required distance from a food
service business and what type of vehicles constitute a mobile food vehicle. Commissioner Pendergrass
commented that while areas such as Sanibel Island and Fort Myers Beach are under the jurisdictions of
the their city government, areas such as Captiva and Boca Grande are under the governing body of the
Board, therefore it is in the Board’s best interest to protect established business’s that remain after food
vendors leave. Mr. Pendergrass directed the County Attorney’s office to look into the possibilities of a
100 foot and a 150 foot setback regulation for food trucks from established restaurants.
