DISCUSSION
For over 20 years, the California Department of Education has provided Federal funds for the City of Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services (Health Department) 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 32 sites throughout the City, including schools and Department of Parks, Recreation and Marine sites.
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 $2,012 for these inspections to be conducted during the summer of 2010.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Linda Trang on May 13, 2010 and by Budget Management Officer Victoria Bell on May 18, 2010.
