County drafts kitchen-use rules for community center; warming allowed, cooking prohibited

County members reviewed draft language that would restrict the county-owned community center kitchen to warming and holding food rather than active cooking. Chair read the proposed redline segment limiting activities: "Regardless, the kitchen shall not be used for cooking such as sauteing, baking, and frying, but shall be allowed" for warming and limited uses. Participants debated practical implications — whether warming for funeral dinners should be permitted without charging the kitchen fee and how to describe allowable warming activities in the policy.
