title
Request for approval of an interlocal agreement with the City of Bellaire to conduct retail food establishment activities (inspection and permitting of food establishments) under Harris County's Food Safety and Inspection Program (FSIP).
end
Background and Discussion:
This summer Harris County Public Health (HCPH) was approached by the City of Bellaire to take over food establishment inspection and permitting services. Bellaire has been using a 3rd party company to provide such services and is seeking to reduce costs in this area. HCPH currently performs inspections and permitting of food establishments throughout the unincorporated areas of Harris County, as well as over 25 independent municipalities within the county such as Tomball, Katy, Humble, and Jersey Village to name a few.
Expected Impact:
The expected impact will be that the number of establishments requiring inspection and permitting by HCPH will increase by approximately 80. This will not have a major impact on the day-to-day operations of HCPH. Additionally, HCPH expects to add somewhere in the neighborhood of $50,000 annually to its special revenue budget as a result of the permit fees collected by permitting establishments located in Bellaire.
Alternative Options:
There are no alternative options.
