Siena made clear that anyone from the BOH was welcome in their <br />kitchen at any time. To remedy this problem, Siena informed the BOH that it has moved 6 <br />pieces of equipment to make sure that this violation does not occur again. Siena has <br />operated for 20 years without violation and is an integral part of the community. Mr. <br />Seabury was unaware that corrective actions were taken and went through different <br />options the BOH could enact to address the situation. Mr. Virgilio was very troubled by the <br />number of violations – 4. Mr. Raposa concurred that after one violation there would have <br />been immediate correction – moving the equipment. Mr. Livingston noted the hectic nature <br />of a kitchen but was also troubled by the number of violations. Siena reiterated his/her <br />contrition and assured the BOH it would not happen again. <br /> <br />Mr. Raposa made a motion to institute the $100 fine and subject to follow-up re-inspection <br />to ensure compliance, which was seconded by Mr. Livingston. <br /> <br />Mr. Livingston (Yes), Mr. Raposa (Yes), Mr. Virgilio (Yes) – Motion passed unanimously. <br /> <br /> <br />NEW BUSINESS: <br />st <br />1.
