Environmental health reports heavy festival workload, inspections and license renewals
Summary
Environmental health staff completed roughly 126 inspections and follow-ups this quarter, handled foodborne and retail complaints, renewed licenses (fee increased slightly to reflect state fee uptick), and inspected multiple festivals and events including the Civic Celebration and Croatian Fest.
Environmental health staff told the board they completed about 126 inspections in the past quarter and handled complaint follow‑ups ranging from grocery meat discoloration to routine food‑truck and pool inspections for community events. Staff said one grocery concern inspected was not mold after sanitarian follow‑up.
The department also completed license renewals and noted a small fee increase tied to the amount the city pays back to the state of Wisconsin as an agent. Staff reported frequent festival inspections over the summer (Civic Celebration, Croatian Fest, Highland Games) and said they are tracking hours and overtime to understand workload implications if FTEs are cut.
