Trenton council approves temporary vending machines at Shady Acres Park
Summary
The Trenton City Council approved a motion to allow a local resident to install one food and one drink vending machine at the large pavilion in Shady Acres Park, pending a legal agreement drafted by the city attorney and a six-month probationary period.
The Trenton City Council on May 26 voted to allow a local resident to place two vending machines — one for food and one for drinks — at the large pavilion in Shady Acres Park, pending a legal agreement with the city.
Alderwoman Jones urged the council to give the resident, identified in the record as Mrs. Terlicki, an opportunity and recommended that City Attorney Jeff Mueller prepare a written agreement that would include a six-month probationary period. Mayor Tony Burriss said guidance from the Municipal Technical Advisory Service (MTAS) indicated the city could pursue the arrangement. Alderman Graves moved to permit the machines under a signed legal document; Alderman Harper seconded and the motion carried by voice vote.
Council members said they supported local entrepreneurship and noted the concession stands used by the baseball and softball programs should remain unaffected. The motion requires execution of the agreement drafted by the city attorney before the vending machines are installed.
The vote was conducted by voice; the minutes record the motion as carried. No ordinance or license number was recorded in the minutes and specific operational conditions (hours, price controls, utility hookups) were not specified.
