71. EROP CASE ES-2016-001/MOBILE FOOD Pursuant to A.R.S. § 11-251.05, A.R.S. § 11-251.13, A.R.S. §11-251.08 and A.R.S. § 36-184(B)(5), set a public hearing for February 1, 2017 to solicit comments and consider the adoption of Fee related proposed revisions to MCEHC Chapters I and VIII. Upon Board approval, this item will become effective February 1, 2017. The Maricopa County Board of Health (BOH) reviewed and approved revisions to MCEHC Chapters I and VIII (EROP Case ES-2016-001/Mobile Food) as an EROP expedited case at a public meeting held on Monday, October 24, 2016, at the Board of Supervisors Conference Room, 301 West Jefferson Avenue, 10th Floor, Phoenix, Arizona 85003. The report to the BOH outlines proposed revisions to the MCEHC and is accessible at ES-2016-001/Mobile Food Staff Report. This proposed revision to MCEHC Chapters I and VIII increases opportunities for business owners while ensuring public health and safety are maintained. Furthermore, clarification of existing definitions, requirements and terminology would occur to help streamline the permitting process. Revisions include updating permit definitions (e.g. those for Food Establishment, Retail Food Establishment and Mobile Food Establishment), organizing/revising Mobile Food Establishment code for readability, and revising permit titles, e.g. Food Peddler to Mobile Food Type I, Pushcart to Mobile Food Type II, and Mobile Food Unit to Mobile Food Type III. Additional proposed permit title updates include: Itinerant (Temporary) to Temporary Food Establishment, Seasonal Food Establishment to Seasonal Food Establishment/Annual Event Food Establishment, Food Service Manager to Certified Food Protection Manager, card to certificate or Limited Use Certificate, and Food Service Worker to Food Employee or Limited Use Food Employee. Proposed updates do not increase permit fees. Fee Schedule text changes for the above permit titles (including permit durations) are proposed. Plus, Fee Schedule deletions for Food Service Worker Card exam and class, each with a $10.00 fee will be eliminated. In addition, the Food Peddler 6 month permit, proposed as the Mobile Food Type I - 6 month fee ($60.00), is included in the Fee Schedule to agree with MCEHC Chapter VIII language that states the 6 month Food Peddler fee is half the cost of the 1 year permit.
