Food gets taxed? Never seen that before so why should it apply to food trucks that partnered with cooperative places that let them park there?
To Go Food always is taxed - not sure about in a restaurant as I have not been to one in many years - but even subway charges tax
Another great day in the adventure of exploration and sight.

I think it even applies to to-go items. So, I'd guess that the food trucks either also had the tax, or it is built into their prices. BOE is going to get their money one way or another.

If you go to downtown Portland you'll see them everywhere. Some parking lots are dedicated to semi-permanent trucks. It adds to the ambiance and flavor of the city. Jamba Juice and Togo's have their place, but more impressive to me are the one-man delis and roach coaches that encourage a little variety.

The tricky part that I am not sure of is if having a mobile truck in Folsom means that they must track and report the sales as if they had a fixed location in Folsom. If so, they would need to tag all sales records with the location they were at when they sold it, then pay the appropriate sales tax for that district. Unfortunately, the "district" in this case would be Sacramento County on the sales tax return, not Folsom specifically.
I'm also unsure of how, in general, Folsom's portion of Sac County sales taxes is determined. Since Folsom doesn't have a special District Tax in addition to the base Sac County rate, we must only be receiving our cut from the county's cut. If it is determined by business address, then the trucks would report the sales as being in Sac County and Folsom would not get anything unless the truck had a business address in Folsom?
I really don't know anything about how the tax revenues are passed on to the city, but I think this is where Folsom misses out. Sac County gets their cut and we don't, is my guess.

I'm used to seeing them near ball fields, construction sites, and over near the college. Not in a shopping mall. To me, that's just weird. Not that it bugs me or anything, just think it weird.

Yep. That's how I find out. I follow a few favorite trucks, too. It's nice to know if one happens to be in an area of town when I'm there for some reason.You can always follow them on Facebook: SactoMofo

He also said there are 2 or 3 "food organizations" in Sac. SactoMoFo, GoFoodMob and another he couldnt think of. GoFoodMob is a larger org with several vendors. You can find them on Facebook (foodmob), Twitter and of course the web sites. Subscribe to the org and favorite trucks for their locations and large events.
SactoMoFo held evening events in Folsom Green Acres, Whole Foods but GoFoodMob recently held an event at KinderCare in Folsom Oct 19th. Bummer missed that one.

Thanks for the info on GoFoodMob! I didn't realize there were competing gangs and the trucks had to claim a set to be part of an event. I always wondered why some trucks I see around are never part of the SactoMoFo events!I checked out Krush Burger and Crave Taco today (Prospect and White Rock). I had the Krush burgers and sweet potato tots and a couple tailgating there in the parking lot said that 1-2 food trucks are always there every Wed and for the past 4-5 wks, 5 trucks every Friday for lunch. Sometimes they are on Pyrites Way in RC too but rarely get out to Folsom for lunch

BTW, tried Krush Burger for the first time at Green Acres last week. Pretty good. Those sweet potato tots were freakin' awesome.
EDIT: their Facebook thing is actually "SacFoodMob"
