§ 8.40.030. Inspections.

A.

The enforcement officer shall inspect each permanent Food Facility at regular intervals. All permanent Food Facilities shall comply with those requirements set forth in the California Health and Safety Code sections 113700, et seq.

B.

A signed copy of the official inspection form shall be delivered to the owner, operator, or person in charge of the permanent Food Facility who shall sign in receipt thereof.

C.

Any permanent Food Facility that has received a "B" or "C" grade shall receive a reinspection within five working days of the initial inspection, or as otherwise arranged with the facility operator, to assure that the violations have been corrected. The grade "B" or "C" shall remain posted at the permanent Food Facility, indicating to the public that the particular permanent Food Facility failed to maintain minimum health standards during its most recent routine inspection performed by the department of environmental health.

D.

If, after a reinspection of the permanent Food Facility, the score is not ninety (90) percent or higher, any or all of the following legal actions may ensue:

1.

Administrative hearing offered for the suspension or revocation of the permit pursuant to California Health and Safety Code sections 114405, et seq.

2.

Issuance of a citation.

3.

Initiation of civil, criminal or other legal proceedings.

E.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the enforcement officer may order immediate closure of a Food Facility pursuant to California Health and Safety Code section 114409 whenever the enforcement officer reasonably believes the Food Facility to present an immediate danger to the public health or safety.

F.

Any reinspections following legal actions, other than one reinspection following an initial administrative hearing, will result in the operator being charged an hourly on-site fee.
