This program is provided at sites located throughout the City, including schools and those within the Department of Parks, Recreation and Marine.
Inspections are made in accordance with State and local environmental health standards and may include: visiting feeding sites and performing temperature testing of the food as it is prepared, delivered or served; observing for safe and sanitary food handling techniques; and, checking for proper storage and handling of food. Under this agreement, the Health Department will receive a total amount not to exceed $2,639 for up to 37 inspections, which will be conducted during the summer of 2018.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Linda T. Vu on April 9, 2018 and by Revenue Management Officer Geraldine Alejo on April 16, 2018.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on May 1, 2018, as the State is requesting that the agreement be expedited.
FISCAL IMPACT
