MINUTES August 24, 2000 6 BOARD OF HEALTH <br /> walked in through the back door and found so many violations that I didn't <br /> even fill out a report. The place was absolutely disgusting and filthy. There <br /> was tomato sauce all over the walls, grease all over the floors, the mats hadn't <br /> been cleaned, the food wasn't covered in any of the refrigerators. Then I <br /> proceeded to go around the corner and all I could smell from the dining room to <br /> the kitchen was garbage. I went upstairs to the bathrooms, now this was about <br /> 11:15 in the morning, the bathrooms had not been cleaned from the previous <br /> night, they were filthy. I went into a backroom upstairs where they cut pizza <br /> and found cornmeal all over the floors, the place was an absolute mess. It was <br /> so bad to the point where my feet were sticking to the mats; it was just filthy, <br /> rotten, dirty." "I told the owners brother that the violations were too numerous <br /> and that I would be back on Friday." "After speaking with Elias we decided that <br /> we should bring it to your attention to review and, perhaps, get some comments <br /> on this. But, I told him I would be back tomorrow morning." "There have been <br /> at least six inspections since last December, to no avail. None of the violations <br /> have been corrected. They don't care." "John Renz of Mashpee Commons stated <br /> that Gone Tomatoes has filed for bankruptcy, however he doesn't know what is <br /> going on because they have until December 31at to get out. I've been told this <br /> before as well." <br /> Mr. McQuaid stated, "If you go way back in your package to December of last <br /> year. Charlotte Steiffel of Barnstable County did an inspection to help us out <br /> and felt very uncomfortable with the cleanliness of the situation so I went out a <br /> couple of days later and found numerous, numerous violations. I went back <br /> out January 24th and most of violations had been corrected, but it took a lot of <br /> persuasion to get them to realize that he can't just continue operating the way <br /> he's operating. The place is a mess." "Ronnie and I will both go out tomorrow <br /> and if there are any critical violations, we are going to shut them down unless <br /> you persuade us otherwise. It's going to take that..." <br /> Mr. Santos motioned to authorize the Health Agent and Assistant Health Agent <br /> to shut down Gone Tomatoes if they find any critical violations at the time of <br /> their inspection on Friday, August 25, 2000. Mr. Ball seconded the motion. <br /> Motion passed. <br /> OLD BUSINESS <br /> a. Half Tide Marina proposed septic upgrade <br /> This item has been put on hold until the Health Agent has heard back from the <br /> engineer. <br /> b.
