Macomb Township is not Civil Service however, we have always structured our hiring process the same as a Civil Service community, i.e, competitive testing process that may include any combination of a written exam, oral interview, physical agility, psychological and a rating of past training and experience. Competitive testing determines each person’s qualification for the job, without regard to race, gender, age, disability, political affiliation, national origin or religious beliefs.

Health Department inspectors do not inspect the mechanical features of these trucks and their systems, nor do they evaluate the safety of the site. 

These trucks include propane tanks, hoses and other mechanical systems which must be properly designed and maintained. Further, the location that the trucks operate in must have sufficient space to allow for parking, pedestrian safety and vehicle pathways, just like a brick-and-mortar business would. Placement of generators and electric cords, if any, must be in a safe manner for pedestrians. We also require assurance that waste, including grease, has a disposal plan to ensure that drains are not improperly used, resulting in environmental issues. 

As with inspections of any brick-and-mortar business, the cost of these inspections and reviews must be borne by the business rather than the burden being placed upon taxpayers as a whole.
