Nashville Village Council adopts mobile food vending ordinance

The Nashville Village Council on May 14 unanimously adopted Ordinance #05-14-2026 establishing a mobile food vending ordinance and permit process for the village. The motion to accept the ordinance as written was made by Council member Lori Courtney and seconded by Council member Johnny Hartwell; the vote was recorded as an aye from all seven members present.

The ordinance, identified in the minutes as Ordinance #05-14-2026, was approved "as written" and is effective upon publication, according to the council's action. The motion carried without recorded dissent.

Council members did not attach additional conditions in the minutes; the record shows the ordinance and its accompanying permit language were accepted in the form presented to the council. The minutes do not specify permit fees, operating hours, designated vending locations, compliance procedures, or enforcement mechanisms; those details are not specified in the record and will be determinative once the ordinance text is published.

The action was taken during the regular council meeting called to order by President Mike Kenyon at 7:01 p.m.; public comment earlier in the meeting included community cleanup and Memorial Day preparations by the Nashville Historical Society. The council also considered other business during the meeting, including resurfacing and equipment purchases.

The next procedural step in the minutes is publication; the ordinance takes effect upon publication per the motion adopted by the council.
