7. Amended Food Inspection Regulation. Mr. Harrington commented that, last March, the existing <br /> Food Inspection Regulation was updated by the former Assistant Health Agent, Caitlin Cantella, <br /> to incorporate the new Federal Food Code wording relative to violations. The changes were <br /> approved by the Board but, since then, Mr. Harrington identified some additional items that <br /> needed to be updated within the regulation. He reviewed those proposed revisions with the <br /> Board, and they agreed the changes were necessary. <br /> There being no further comments or discussion, Kripani Patel moved to approve the amended <br /> Food Inspection Regulation as presented. Motion seconded by Ernest Virgilio. Roll call vote: <br /> Ernest Virgilio (yes); Kripani Patel (yes); Brian Baumgaertel (yes). VOTE: Unanimous (3-0). <br /> 8.
