The report to the BOH outlines proposed revisions to the MCEHC and is accessible at ES-2016-003/Farmers Market Staff Report. This proposal adds a farmer’s market coordinator and increases business owner market opportunities. The coordinator will submit documentation to the Department, be present during farmers market operating hours, and ensure certain sanitary measures are applied. Coordinator oversight of sanitary measures (e.g. hand sink design and application), will provide food venders the opportunity to utilize temporary hand wash stations in lieu of having installed units. By allowing greater flexibility under coordinator direction; this proposal increases opportunities for business owners while ensuring public health and safety are maintained. This MCEHC revision proposal is following Maricopa County’s Enhanced Regulatory Outreach Program (EROP) policy without added fees. (C-88-17-007-L-00)
