Regulations and permits considered for transient businesses including mobile food vendors
By Paula Pyzik Scott
At the March 18 Village of Ada council meeting, a proposed ordinance was tabled regarding establishing requirements and regulations for transient businesses and vendors, mobile food vendors and food trucks operating within the Village of Ada. Council member Bob Simmons commented that he would like to see community input on the topic and a tabling motion was approved by the other members.
The March 18 meeting of the Village Of Ada Council took place without councilors Sean Beck and Sheila Coressel, but was not short of a quorum. Lively conversations took place on the topics of utility aggregation, steps taken when water shut and turn on are followed by an inside leak, proposed regulations for transient vendors including food trucks, and the creation of a list of Ada landlords.
On Thursday, March 6, the Ada Schools Board of Education held a special meeting to review work in progress and 2-year plans for the Ag building and the building that includes the Central Office, Board Room, two Liberty Village Preschool classrooms, “86” and “Varsity/’71” gyms, and concessions area.
Superintendent Julie Simmons and Facility Maintenance Coordinator Lance Dearth made a presentation on repair work, maintenance and improvements for the two buildings.
