Recommendation to authorize City Manager to execute an agreement and any subsequent amendments with the California Department of Education in the amount of $1,732.28 for the provision of health and sanitation inspections for the Summer Food Service Program for a period of three months. (Citywide)
DISCUSSION
For over 18 years, the California Department of Education has provided federal funds for the City of Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to provide health and sanitation inspections of the food service operations for the Summer Food Service Program within its jurisdiction. This program is provided in 31 sites throughout the City, including schools and Department of Parks, Recreation and Marine facilities.
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, DHHS will receive $1,732.28 for these inspections to be conducted during the summer of 2007.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Lori Conway on June 29, 2007 and by Budget and Performance Bureau Manager David Wodynski on July 2,2007.
