OLD BUSINESS FOR THE HEALTH BOARD MEETING INCLUDED:
There was more discussion about the Posting of Inspections on the
Website of the township. Solicitor Foreman offered his perspective from
the legal standpoint that the township is liable for what is placed on
the website and how long it stays on the website when a violation has
been corrected. If a violation exists and is posted on the website and
then a follow-up inspection has occurred then the website needs to be
changed. There is concern over time management of getting that done
routinely to make sure that occurs.
The situation was left to check into the owner of the Permit Manager
system and see what he could come up with the next Health Board Meeting
in June. Also to possibly develop a format for hazard and no-hazardous
terminology being used for Critical and Non—critical violations. The
subject will be revisited at the June Health Board meeting.
At the May meeting which is on May 15; an extensive discussion will also
be done concerning this case when Solicitor Bruce Foreman will also be
available.
A meeting occurred with Weis Markets as reported by Lynn on April 4,
2008. Members of the corporate office of Weis Markets from Sunbury
attended. Those in attendance were the Regional Director, Quality
Control Manager, Store Managers, District Director and the Quality
Assurance District Manager. A very good meeting was felt by all and a
new follow-up inspection will be conducted shortly. A follow-up at Weis
Markets will occur shortly.
In Lynn’s Report; all of the other establishments that were having
issues have been corrected with the exception of one. Follow-up
inspections will occur shortly to make sure that all in compliance.
NEW BUSINESS BEFORE THE HEALTH BOARD INCLUDED:
There was some discussion about educating the public and how to go about
doing this once a final discussion was arrived at on how to post the
inspections on the website. Lynn stated that a meeting will be held with
the Restaurants to state what is going to happen and when it is going to
occur.
Timothy Goede spoke about receiving a letter for his high grass and
weeds being present at his property and has requested a hearing which
will be held at the June 19, 2008 meeting..
