| | | | | | | | | ACTION PROPOSED: | Adopt an Ordinance Amending the Code of Ordinances by Amending Chapter 6, Article VIII, "Environmental Health", Relating to Food Establishment Rules and Regulations. |
|
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
The "Environmental Health Ordinance" is a set of standards used by the City to regulate food establishments, day cares, and swimming pools. The basis for the food establishment regulations is established in State law through the Texas Food Establishment Regulations (TFER). Recent changes to State law have created the need for the City to update the local Environmental Health Ordinance.
This amendment adopts TFER as the minimum standards for the City. In addition, the amendment includes local amendments specific to Allen, including permitting and enforcement procedures. The local amendments included in this ordinance do not create any additional regulations that the City is not already enforcing.
