Lakeville Board of Health Approves New Mobile Food Truck Permit for Papa's Sweet Treats

The Lakeville Board of Health convened on July 16, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, including local upgrade approvals and the approval of a new mobile food truck permit. The meeting, which was recorded by Lake Cam, began with a request from Zenith Consulting Engineers to postpone discussions regarding local upgrade approvals for 1214 Morrison Way until the next meeting scheduled for August 6. The board unanimously agreed to this motion.

Another significant topic was the introduction of a new mobile food truck, Papa's Sweet Treats, which will operate from 98 Highland Road, selling prepackaged ice cream. The board confirmed that the food truck had passed inspection and approved its permit for year-round operation, despite some light-hearted discussion about its appearance and operation.

The board also reviewed and approved the meeting minutes from a previous joint planning board meeting held on January 30, 2025. It was noted that the board needed to create its own minutes rather than using those from the planning board, a technicality that was clarified during the meeting.

In closing, the board's health agent reported that ten mosquitoes had tested positive for West Nile virus, a typical occurrence for this time of year, but reassured that there were no cases of the virus or Tripoli in Lakeville or the surrounding areas. The meeting concluded with no further announcements or pending items, and the board adjourned after a brief discussion.
