Carneys Point committee introduces one‑day food‑truck license ordinance after split vote
Summary
Ordinance 1085 to allow one‑day (daily) licenses for food vendors was introduced March 4 after a 3‑2 roll call split; some members raised concerns about a previously adopted December ordinance.
The township introduced Ordinance 1085 to establish rules and a daily license option for food trucks at the March 4 meeting. The motion to introduce the ordinance, made by Dr. Johnson and seconded by Mr. Brown, passed on a 3‑to‑2 roll call: Mr. Brown, Dr. Johnson and Mayor Bomba voted yes; Mr. Martin and Mrs. Martin voted no.
Solicitor A. Telsey clarified the measure applies to one‑day licenses and does not replace the ordinance the township adopted in December: "This is just for allowing for a one-day license," he said. Mr. Martin said he had raised concerns in an earlier emailed comment and noted he had not received follow-up information; he referenced aspects of the previously adopted ordinance that he wanted to revisit.
The ordinance was introduced for consideration and will return for additional readings and a final vote according to the municipal code timetable.
