Board updates county health and sanitation ordinances to reflect current practice
Summary
The Board amended Chapter 30 and repealed-and-replaced Chapter 31 of Vernon County's Health and Sanitation ordinances to align local code with current Health Department policies and state inspection responsibilities.
Health Department Director Amy Klieber presented revisions to County Ordinance Chapter 30 and a repeal-and-replace of Chapter 31 (Environmental Sanitation) to correct outdated language and align local code with current practice and state inspection responsibilities. Klieber said the County acts as an agent for the State in inspecting facilities, including food establishments, and that updates were needed to reflect current procedures.
Corp Counsel Nikki Swayne told the Board the revisions do not make substantive changes to enforcement or policy but clarify language and better reflect relevant statutes. Both ordinances were adopted on voice votes.
