Imagine standing on a
line for 30 minutes just to
buy an ice cream or a
bottle of water on a hot
summer evening.
Such waits might make
someone think twice
about visiting a destina-
tion and the lack of a
quick place to buy a drink
certainly could be viewed
even as a health hazard.
When large crowds
gather in various areas of
the city, food trucks often
help pick up the slack, or
are even the draw for such
traffic. But in Bricktown
this past holiday week-
end, not a single food
truck could be found,
though they are com-
monly part of similar
gatherings in competing
districts like Midtown,
Automobile Alley, Film
Row and the Plaza Dis-
trict.
Theres a reason for
this: More than a dozen
years ago, people who led
Bricktown folks no
longer involved or even
alive dictated to the
city that more prohibitive
rules be established to
prevent food trucks from
doing business in the
district.
Food trucks cannot do
business within 75 feet of
the Bricktown Canal,
which pretty much carves
out the heart of Brick-
town as a no-go zone for
food truck operators. And
food trucks cannot be
operated on private prop-
erty, again a far more
prohibitive rule than
those that govern the rest
of the city. If food trucks
want to set up for busi-
ness in Bricktown, they
must secure a metered
parking spot.
Good luck with that.
On my visit to Brick-
town over the weekend, I
saw a district that could
not accommodate the
tens of thousands of vis-
itors who gathered for the
traditional July Fourth
festivities. Lines of people
could be found every-
where, from Fuzzys Taco
Shop to Sonic to McDo-
nalds, and at all restau-
rants in between.
Some of these people
were just looking for a
cold refreshment or a
quick treat, items that can
easily and quickly be
provided by food trucks.
City staff members are
in the process of rewriting
proposed changes to the
food truck ordinances
that could make business
easier for the operators.
But these changes, at this
time, will not address the
prohibitions in Bricktown.
Avis Scaramucci, owner
of Nonnas, is one of
those opposed to chang-
ing the rules. To her cred-
it, she has invested time
and money in making the
district a better place.
And while food trucks
have proven to draw more
business to other districts
and are being embraced
by restaurant and proper-
ty owners in Midtown,
Automobile Alley and the
Plaza District, she sees no
reason to change the rules
in Bricktown.
For every July Fourth
weekend, there is a des-
olate cold January when
business slows to a crawl
for Bricktown eateries.
Scaramucci doesnt be-
lieve in letting food truck
operators come into
Bricktown when times are
good, and leave when
business drops.
I dont think one holi-
day justifies allowing
them the rest of the time
were all battling for foot
traffic in Bricktown,
Scaramucci argues. Any-
time there is a multitude
of food trucks that move
in, they are competing
with restaurants. I dont
see how they could not
be. And for people to
come in, have no com-
mitment to the commu-
nity, no allegiance, give
nothing to the communi-
ty, and just scoop up
money and leave, I think
people who come in and
take someones dollar,
they need to stick around
and make it better.
Scaramucci may be
right in her reasoning. But
a rare example of food
trucks gathering recently
in Bricktown indicates
permanent restaurants
can benefit from mobile
operators setting up near-
by. When The Great Food
Truck Race, a show on
the Food Network, came
through town several
weeks ago, the trucks
managed to either get
around city ordinances or
enforcement looked the
other way.
The trucks set up in
Bricktown, social media
went crazy, and long lines
appeared. The trucks ran
out of food, and Scara-
mucci acknowledges the
disappointed food truck
fans ended up eating at
Bricktown restaurants.
And while Scaramucci
sees this incident as being
solely tied to the publicity
of a national television
show, Ive witnessed how
food truck operators can
draw people to an area
and they then stay and do
business with more est-
ablished restaurants and
shops.
Times are changing. At
the very least, maybe a
new discussion on what
role, if any, food trucks
can play in the states
premier entertainment
district is due.

K. MENNEM
Architect Rand Elliott
announced Monday he is
developing a master plan
for the block of Harrison
Avenue and NW 4, a trian-
gle-shaped property that
has been home to his firm
Elliott Associates Archi-
tects for almost 20 years.
Elliotts firm is in the
historic Heierding Build-
ing at 35 Harrison Ave.,
and last summer he ac-
quired the remainder of
the block, including a run-
down one-story building
that was last home to a
downtown Leos Barbeque
restaurant. Before Elliott
bought and renovated the
Heierding building, it was
boarded up and presumed
destined for demolition.
Developing and im-
proving this block of
downtown Oklahoma City
has been a dream of mine
for many years, said El-
liott, who owns the land
with his wife, Jeanette.
When E+A moved our
offices to the Flatiron Dis-
trict in 1995, the area was
lifeless, yet held great
promise. In the past five
years, the area has been re-
born and the urban image
dramatically improved.
Look around now. The
transformation is nearly
unfathomable.
That transformation in-
cludes redevelopment of
another flatiron-shaped
building across the street
at 127 Harrison Ave. that
will become home to PIL-
CO insurance, and devel-
opment of the Maywood
apartments to the south.
The Flatiron district is
now a highly desirable
place, Elliott said. We
see extending the pedes-
trian-friendly area where
people shop, dine, live and
socialize north to our
block. Our team is having a
great time envisioning the
possibilities for this gate-
way block into down-
town.
Elliott recently razed the
6,787-square-foot former
Leos Barbeque building at
7 Harrison Ave., which he
deemed unsafe for rede-
velopment.
I know Rand as a pres-
ervationist someone
whose respect for archi-
tectural style and history is
reflected in his firms de-
signs, Oklahoma Histori-
cal Society Executive Di-
rector Bob Blackburn said.
Rands building restora-
tion for his firms corpo-
rate headquarters in the
Flatiron District was in-
spired by historical prece-
dent. I am certain what
Rand and his firm will de-
sign for this block will
complement the existing
context and contribute to
the districts continued re-
invigoration.

Q&A WITH TOM GRUBER
OKLAHOMAS SUNSHINE LAWS HAVE
IMPORTANCE TO PRIVATE BUSINESS
Q: The states Open Records
Act applies only to govern-
ment records. Why should a
private business be con-
cerned with the law?
A: Any record created or re-
ceived by a public body, public
office or public official, wheth-
er at the local, county or state
level, is subject to the Open
Records Act. That includes
any record that may be in-
volved when a private compa-
ny bids on and/or transacts
business with an agency of
government.
Q: Does that mean that any
record submitted by a private entity when seek-
ing or engaged in a government contract is an
open record?
A: While every record is subject to the act, it does
not mean that every document is an open record.
The act lays out specific areas where a record may
be kept confidential.
Q: What are these exceptions?
A: The act exempts records that would provide an
unfair competitive advantage, like bid specifica-
tions prior to publication and the contents of
sealed bids prior to their opening. Additionally,
there are some exceptions in the act for informa-
tion like trade secrets, financial statements and
proprietary information. The act lists many other
exceptions and when they are applicable.
Q: Do these exceptions allow, for example, a
business to keep confidential its applications
for permits or licenses?
A: Records, like applications for permits or
licenses, are the exception to the exception. The
act requires that these generally remain open to
the public. However, the prospective location of a
private business or industry may remain confiden-
tial prior to public disclosure.
