Food vendor questions mobile-vending rules after borough licensing shift
Summary
Food vendor Kathy Corelli urged clarity on why a local mobile-vending ordinance appears void, saying county health authority actions and licensing transitions have left vendors uncertain; borough officials said food licensing is handled at the county level and that any local ordinance work remains at committee stage.
At the March 20 council meeting, longtime courthouse food vendor Kathy Corelli questioned why a borough mobile-vending ordinance "in writing in black and white" was treated as void and sought guidance on licensing after a county health department assumed food-licensing responsibility. Corelli said she and another vendor had believed their operations were "grandfathered" and expressed concern about licenses that appear non-transferable.
A borough official explained that the ordinance has been superseded by state and county health licensing because the county now handles food regulation; the official advised Corelli to consult the county website, state law and to seek private legal counsel for specific licensing questions. Council members said the matter currently remains at the committee level and will return to council if formally advanced. "That ordinance is no longer in effect because that has been superseded by state law and this Borough is not in the food licensing business anymore," the official said during the exchange.
