Vendor objects to proposed vending ordinance changes; board asks staff to craft alternative language
Summary
A local food-vendor operator told the Selectboard the proposed vending ordinance revisions would negatively affect previously board‑approved aspects of his operation; staff will draft alternative verbiage for the Feb. 3 meeting.
Town staff presented proposed changes to the vending ordinance and invited comment on specific wording. Neil Schulman, identified in the meeting as the owner and operator of a local food vending business, said the draft language would negatively affect facets of his operation that had previously been approved by the Selectboard and expressed frustration with the change.
Members discussed possible approaches and cited examples from other towns that incorporate mobility‑focused language. Town Manager Scott Murphy said he would revise the language and return a draft to the board at the Feb. 3 meeting for further consideration. No motion or vote was taken; the item remains under review.
