Allais informed the Board that a local store was attaching security tags to candy bars.

Once this problem was brought to the store owner's attention, the problem was corrected. Murrieta had a follow up inspection at Ramada Inn (pool and kitchen). A control plan was implemented. The owner of the establishment hired a kitchen manager to oversee the continental breakfast in the morning and the bar in the evening.
