Mayor Walter LaCicero said a resident\u2019s concern over ice cream trucks this week is a \u201cperennial issue\u201d in town.<\/p>\n

It crops up every year around this time as the borough is getting ready for its summer season, approving events, licenses and more for summer vendors, and anticipating the busiest time of the year in town.<\/p>\n

This year was no exception. At the borough council meeting Monday, a resident inquired as to whether there should be additional restrictions put on ice cream truck vendors: namely, prohibiting them from using megaphones and other audio devices to lure beachgoers from the sand to the street to purchase treats.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t mind blocking someone using amplified sound,\u201d LaCicero said in response, acknowledging that he hadn\u2019t before heard of ice cream truck drivers using that system.<\/p>\n

Other residents said vendors have more often walked onto the beach to announce their presence in recent years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt goes without saying: if you\u2019re on the beach, you need a badge,\u201d said LaCicero.<\/p>\n

Whether the council will take formal action on the matter \u2013 either through an ordinance or simply a restriction on ice cream truck vending licenses \u2013 is yet to be seen. The council will look into the matter, officials said, and also consider whether any regulations on engine idling are necessary.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can reiterate it in our applications, and threaten to take more enforcement action, and we\u2019ll mean it,\u201d LaCicero said.<\/p>\n
