63. ES-2017-001/PET GROOMERS & SHOPS PROPOSED REVISIONS TO CHAPTERS I AND XI OF THE MARICOPA COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH CODE (MCEHC) Pursuant to A.R.S. §11-251.05 and A.R.S. §36-184(B)(5), set a public hearing for March 21, 2018 to solicit comments and consider the adoption of proposed revisions to MCEHC Chapters I and XI (EROP Case ES-2017-001/Pet Groomers & Shops). Upon Board approval, this item will become effective 03/21/2018. The Maricopa County Board of Health (BOH) reviewed and approved revisions to MCEHC Chapters I and XI (ES-2017-001/Pet Groomers & Shops) as an EROP expedited case at a public meeting held on Friday, February 2, 2018, at the Board of Supervisors Auditorium, 205 West Jefferson Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85003. The report to the BOH outlines proposed revisions to the MCEHC and is accessible at https://www.maricopa.gov/3563/Active-Regulatory-Process. This proposal revises MCEHC Chapters I and XI by removing non-mandated animal related functions regarding kennels, pet shops, veterinary clinics, veterinary hospitals and pet groomers and two “odor” references. Revisions will increase opportunities for business owners while ensuring public health is maintained. Maricopa County Animal Care and Control issues kennel permits, and the Veterinary Medical Examining Board has the authority to investigate veterinary clinics and veterinary hospitals on a complaint basis. The Department does not have a record of a zoonotic disease occurring from a kennel, pet shop, veterinary clinic, veterinary hospital or groomer in Maricopa County. Pima, Coconino, and Pinal counties do not license groomers. In addition, the Department has not responded to “odor” related complaints since 2004 when Air Quality and Environmental Services were one department. (C-88-18-007-L-00)
