Long Lake board authorizes 2026 farmers' market, exempts participating vendors from town peddling licenses
Summary
The Town Board approved Resolution 2026.23 to authorize the Long Lake Farmers' Market on Town property for the 2026 season and, under Local Law No. 2 (Section 8f), exempt participating vendors from individual Town peddling or vending license requirements; volunteer Ruth Howe was acknowledged.
The Town Board of Long Lake on April 29 unanimously approved Resolution 2026.23 authorizing operation of the Long Lake Farmers' Market on Town-owned property for the 2026 season. The resolution explicitly notes that vendors participating in an authorized farmers' market are exempt from obtaining individual Town peddling or vending licenses under Section 8(f) of Local Law No. 2 of 2026.
The action, moved by Councilman Richard B. Dechene and seconded by Councilman Nathan S. Hosley, was adopted on a 4–0 vote. The resolution acknowledges volunteer coordinator Ruth Howe and instructs Town officers and staff to take administrative and legal steps necessary to implement the market authorization. The board's memo characterizes the market as supporting local agriculture and the Town's seasonal economy.
Board members did not attach a budget appropriation to the authorization; the resolution states no specific Town expenditure is required to carry out the action. The approval leaves operational details—such as schedule, vendor selection, insurance, and any temporary use restrictions—to be handled by the Supervisor, Town Clerk, and relevant staff under the Town's permitting rules.
