Unpermitted food vendors

Supported a study session and suggested a cost-sharing arrangement with the county, framing vendor permitting as a revenue opportunity.

Argued a grease-disposal permit for unpermitted vendors is legally untenable and noted unfair competition with tax-paying licensed vendors.

Objected to the proposed food vendor ordinance, arguing vending is all-or-nothing and unpermitted vendors should simply be shut down.

Suggested permitting food vending in all parks to create revenue for park upkeep, noting asthma concerns in Roseland from barbecue smoke.
