Mrs. Prestridge advised the board on the following:
• We may need to consider changing the C.O.L.A. and longevity policy to be based on the annual
performance evaluations and if not satisfactory then only given a percentage or nothing at all. Also, is an
employee entitled to the full $425.00 monthly insurance premium that the Health District pays if the
employee works 30 hours instead of 40 hours per week? Should the $425.00 be prorated? Will discuss at
a later date.
• We will continue to meet once a month if we have a quorum.
We are going to start rating all restaurants starting in January 2016. EParis Extra will host the webpage
and will update and post the ratings for all local restaurants. The score will have to be posted on the front
door of the restaurant in plain sight. Every restaurant will be given a score of A., B, C, D, or F. If not an A
then will be given 4 -weeks to correct the findings All D or F scores, will be given 30 days to correct all
findings and will have to be re- inspected. The Health District will charge a $200.00 fine if the grade is not
posted or visible and must be paid within 30 days. If payment is not received, then the permit will be pulled
and the establishment will be closed and will have to be re- inspected and pay the permit fee in additional
to the non - posting grade fee. Mrs. Stallings made the motion to accept the restaurant grading system and
Mrs. Franklin seconded the motion. All approved. Dr. Erickson made the motion that we will charged $200.
