The South Jersey Mobile Unit Task Force formed to discuss what could be done to resolve the problem with mobile unit and temporary vendors. Applications were taking up so much time and they were all hearing about the inconsistencies between the health departments from the vendors. Many of the same vendors were operating in all of their jurisdictions. To solve, the Task Force created the following one application that all of the Task Force would use. The application and approval would go to the Health Department where the servicing area was located, even if the vendor did not operate in that jurisdiction. The Health Department of the servicing area was the best one to determine if the facility could meet the needs of the unit. They also required (requested) NJ Sales Tax Certificates of Authority certificates. This eliminates the fly by night operators. They obtain these applications annually as things change so much with mobile operations. Once approved, the application would be sent and accepted to whichever Health Department in the group needed it. This approval process saved both the vendor and the Health Departments duplications and much time. They also created a one page simple amendment form is all a vendor needs to go to other jurisdictions and an application for Event coordinators to notify us of an event and the food vendors that would be present. These forms can be filled in on-line with ease. The Task Force is getting better information now.
