Kristin Gonser—Started with Cook County Christitne Czarnecki- She started at Lake County Both have degrees in nutrition. The majority of what they do is food inspections. Christine does pools and Chrsistie does nursing homes. They both respond to food born illiness complaints and garbage complaints. They do on site inspections and educational services. The new Southern Bell restaurant will be opening on Monday. They do work together to teach educational inservices and do inspections. They want to recognize high-risk restaurants that score a 90% or higher by sending them a certificate. Restaurants are inspected twice for medium risk (Risk H) or three times for a high risk (Risk III). If a follow-up inspection is scheduled, they will have a 10 day notice to comply before the next inspection. Mr. Pace asked what would happen if a business fell out of compliance and still displayed the certificate. Kristin informed the board that the certificates would be issued for the prior year, so they would not receive a new one for the next year. Dick Scholten asked about Pizza Hut. When a restaurant has low scores, they meet with owners. Then they have a hearing. They sign a contract agreeing to maintain high scores throughout the entire probation. If the issues are still not corrected, then the restaurant is shut down for 24 hours. Pizza Hut was one of these businesses. A score of a 60 or below is cause for closure. The inspectors will allow the business to stay open if they correct the things right away, so there is an adjusted score. Mike Tuozzo asked what the difference was between a P-Ticket and an L-Ticket. P- Ticket is a fine of$50 and then the L-Ticket is higher stakes. P-Ticket$50 fine L-Ticket Court ticket Sweet Baby Rays(On Higgins-Used to be Woodys) and Southern Bell will be opening soon. 600 flu vaccines and another 800 came in today with 300 more will be in next week. There are clinics on the 28`t'from 5:30 -7:30 and then the 30`x'from 1-3. The Director will schedule another one in December to try to get rid of the vaccines.
