(Crookston, MN) -- Food truck operators are concerned about a Crookston ordinance requiring them to be licensed.

The city began enforcing the ordinance on June 1st, which dates back to 1926 but was updated in 2011. Mobile vendors say they aren't prepared for newly enforced licensing requirements, which could shut many vendors down at least temporarily.

The interim city administrator says the purpose of the ordinance is to know what vendors are operating in Crookston, where, and for how long.
