Title

Vote on a request to accept $23,102 from Food Protection and Facilities Branch

 

Abstract

Action Requested: Vote on a request to accept $23,102 from the Food Protection and Facilities Branch.

 

                     

Introduction & Background: In order to fund a portion of local expenditures created by State-mandated Food, Lodging and Institution sanitation programs and activities, the legislature established a State Inspections Statistics and Fees Program within the Environmental Health Section.  This program centralizes public health data, invoices regulated facilities, and distributes the funds in accordance with GS 130A 248(d).  The receipts collected are redistributed to local environmental health programs in the form of aid to counties.

                     

Discussion & Analysis:  The funds are distributed to local environmental health divisions to support the retail food program and are allocated to counties based on percentage of food service inspections conducted and submission of quality assurance activities.

 

How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan: Not Applicable

                     

Budgetary Impact: No Local Funding Requested

                     

Recommendation: Vote on a request to accept $23,102 from Food Protection and Facilities Branch
