The overview
The proposal sought approval for an agreement allowing the Three Legged Goat in downtown Pflugerville to host up to two food trucks on neighboring city-owned property for six months, charging a monthly $250 fee per food truck.
The terms dictated that the Three Legged Goat would ensure compliance with all relevant city rules and regulations, including:
- Obtaining valid food permits
- Consistent operating hours with a five day a week minimum
- Self-sufficiency of vehicles in water, sewer and electricity
- No drive-thru services
- Adherence to fire, sign, noise, and lighting requirements
- No customer seating on city property
- Providing restroom access for food truck patrons
According to city documents, the city acquired the property last year with plans to extend Main Street to the east, to FM 685. This road extension is part of the Downtown East project, which includes the construction of a new city hall and public recreation center.
Quote of note
“We don't want to make money off of these trailers. We want to cover our expenses and that is it. ... Expenses would mostly be the electric; we're not charging to use our bathrooms,” part owner Dale Woodkey said. “... We're there to help promote downtown and bring people downtown to eat and drink and enjoy downtown Pflugerville.”
