Page 1 of 4
Young shared information concerning the WARN, with the board. State of Wyoming
has purchased a component of the system, designed as a warning system for recalls
and/or outbreaks. The system has been upgraded to where a municipality can create
its own list of food establishments and have a phone call, e-mail or fax generated to
each establishment with notice of a food recall and/or disease outbreak. This is a
recorded message without password protection. Currently, companies are referring to
the distributors prior to a recall, before the FDA is advised of the problem and issues
the formal recall. Discussion followed concerning the program.
4. NEW BUSINESS
No items
5. OLD BUSINESS
5-A. Review of Monthly Inspections - July 15, 201 1 through August 11, 2011
Bear Bait Mobile - This is the owner's first establishment and locates usually in front
of Bloedorn Lumber. Upon first inspection some violations were found due to his
inexperience. A follow-up inspection will be made during the next week.
EI Zarape Mexican Foods - Communication has been challenging. New owner
understands what needs to happen and needs to explain to staff the requirements.
There will be one more visit and if no results are exhibited, there will be invited to the
Board of Health meeting for discussion.
1s' Inn Gold - Upon inspection the restaurant failed their first inspection due to no
sanitizer for the dishwasher. Returned for follow up and owner had not followed
instructions to obtain the sanitizer and is currently using spray bottle bleach for
sanitizer. At the next inspection the Inspector will check for actual purchase and
delivery of the proper sanitizer.
Great Wall - Murrieta indicates that she wants to do an inspection with the owner
present. Most violations are general cleanliness, but not on food contact surfaces.
The buffet is being maintained better. Next inspection will be when owner is present.
Jubilee Days - One vendor was being difficult in following requirements until
supervision arrived and then the staff was more cooperative. Permit was perilously
close to being pulled. Environmental Health Specialist has high hopes for next year
and plans on 3-a-day inspections for quality.
5-B. Body Art Rules and Regulations Review (section 7-12, located on pages 10-17)
A failed spore test is most often due to "operator error". Unless it item is implantable, there is
no rule that you must go back and pull the autoclaved items. Tattoo shops are not able to do
implantable devices.

except that at least 100 foot candles shall be provided at the level where the
body at procedures is being performed and where instruments and sharps as
assembled." This wording should be more generalized
