Mrs. Dorothy Tilson moved to pay bills. Mrs. Donna Womble seconded. Motion

Mary Lou Truesdale shared with the Board that Budget Committee had not had
reason to meet at this point but that the City has offered an effective means of
budgeting, in asking that the Department put in request for Capital Outlay items
by June 2, 1986. Mrs. Truesdale also explained that we have changed our format of
our monthly service report rendered by the department. A comparison from this month
to last month and this year to last year to date, along with the department and en-
vironmental fees. The decrease in part of our services has resulted from being short
staffed. We are now back to a full staff and confident that services will be back
to normal.
Nona McNally, Sanitarian, presented to the Board the new Retail Food Service
Regulations adopted by the Texas Board of Health. Mrs. McNally expressed that the
rules could be made more stringent, but not less. Plainview -Hale County Health Dis-
trict would like to make (2) additions. Those being:
1. Health cards be required of all employees
of Retail Food Service Establishments.
2. Permit Fees will be required on an annual
basis for those establishments who operate
on a year round basis, a seasonal basis for
establishments whose planned operations are
less that 6 months, or a temporary permit
for establishments whose planned operations are
less than 2 weeks.
After considerable amount of discussion, Weaver McClure moved to adopt Food
Service Regulations. Lanny Voss moved to amend Food Service Regulations to be more
stringent of requiring health cards of all employees. Mrs. Tilson seconded. Motion
carried.
Mrs. Truesdale stated that she would like to also make the Food Manager's
Workshop mandatory, for the purpose of better trained manager's in our food establish-
ments. She explained that when we adopted the Food Manager's License, it was not the
Board's intent for a fee raising service only. The way in which we adopted it, the
City Attorney, Tom Hamilton pointed out that because of the but -out provisions it ap-
pears as though it was adopted strictly as a money raising activity. Mrs. Truesdale
