Aiken City Council approved final reading of a mobile food vendor ordinance on Monday with amendments, lifting bans on ice cream vendors. Councilwoman Lessie Price was absent. Vendors may operate on private property with owner permission where zoning allows eating establishments, must have a business license, and meet health department rules. The ordinance covers general mobile vendor requirements and addresses issues from the first reading, including alcohol sales.
