Notice of Workshops and Public Hearing for Amendments to the Regulations of the Washoe County District Board of Health Governing Food Establishments

The Washoe County Health District (WCHD) invites you to attend workshops regarding proposed amendments to current regulations governing food establishments.  The WCHD proposes to delete sections 240.060 and 240.065 related to grades and grading of food establishments; add some provisions; and, make minor edits and formatting corrections.  These workshops will provide businesses and individuals affected by these changes additional information and opportunity for input.  Feedback collected will be used to develop recommendations for the District Board of Health, who then will be notified of the proposed changes and subsequently hold a Public Hearing where they may take action.  The public will have an opportunity to speak at these meetings.

The Workshops will be held:                      Tuesday, June 7, 2016 at 5:30pm and Thursday, June 9, 2016 at 1:30pm
