Amber Erickson, executive director of the Williamson County and Cities Health District, used the public communications period to recognize the partnership between the district and Cedar Park staff on food safety and public-health inspections. "I have been serving as the executive director... and I've had the opportunity to witness the close working relationship between us and Cedar Park staff, particularly code enforcement, fire and a few other particular offices," she said.
