[7:46] >> See, you got used to Gabby. She wrote
[7:48] me. [laughter]
[7:49] >> I'm trying to read them, but it's really
[7:51] tough to read.
[7:53] >> I have to pull them up on my iPad
[7:55] because I'm trying to read them on my
[7:56] phone.
[7:56] >> Oh, I tried. That's what I did. I read
[7:58] them on my computer.
[8:00] >> Report on um It was on Mr. sushi.
[8:05] >> No, Mr. Ramen
[8:07] >> about a freezer that would had mold or
[8:09] something in it or
[8:10] >> Oh, yes. One of them.
[8:11] >> The ice machine.
[8:12] is all molded.
[8:14] >> Are they using this thing or
[8:16] >> Yeah, they they shut it off and they
[8:18] just everything.
[8:20] >> So Oh, they got rid of it.
[8:21] >> Yeah, it's a small ice machine.
[8:24] >> Oh, don't worry. Cuz I was like, "Okay,
[8:27] good to know that, you know."
[8:29] >> But yeah, I'll die.
[8:32] Is there any ordinances of how often
[8:34] they have to clean those or change the
[8:37] filters or anything for ice machines?
[8:40] >> No. I mean, I do tell them to clean it
[8:42] as often. It doesn't say anything
[8:43] specifically, but
[8:44] >> it's got to be maintained.
[8:45] >> Maintained.
[8:46] >> Usually manufacturing guidance, but they
[8:48] usually don't read that.
[8:50] >> Okay.
[8:50] >> That's why.
[8:52] >> Yeah. [laughter]
[8:53] >> And the water hardness here.
[8:54] >> Yeah.
[8:55] >> Oh, yeah.
[8:55] >> That's that.
[8:56] >> Yeah. It's terrible.
[8:58] >> It is. So then you see like that calcium
[9:00] build up inside ice
[9:01] >> machine.
[9:04] » I'm still trying to get used to that
[9:05] from I didn't have that problem with the
[9:07] calcium.
[9:08] >> We didn't have that.
[9:10] >> Yeah, we have oil rub bronze fixtures
[9:13] and it's horrible.
[9:14] >> Yeah.
[9:15] >> Just turns white.
[9:19] >> Yeah,
[9:20] >> I keep a razor blade in my [laughter]
[9:22] kitchen cabinet.
[9:25] She's
[9:27] got a water.
[9:29] [laughter]
[9:30] >> I was just wondering cuz in the hospital
[9:32] we have to keep it posted on the outside
[9:34] of the ice machines of when it was
[9:36] checked and filter change. So I just
[9:38] didn't know if there was anything
[9:39] >> that's protocol
[9:44] [clears throat] way to do it. Not
[9:45] everybody does it.
[9:46] >> And one of the tattoo places listed Dr.
[9:49] remain in Riverdale as something. And I
[9:52] wondered um Pretty and Pink.
[9:55] >> Yeah, cuz they're doing the permanent
[9:56] compromises.
[9:58] >> Uh
[9:59] >> so does that mean Dr. Roma knows about
[10:02] this?
[10:03] >> Yes.
[10:04] >> You should be doing it.
[10:05] >> Yes, they're supposed to have paper
[10:07] along.
[10:09] >> Okay.
[10:10] >> In Riverdale or Pumpton Lakes Pretty?
[10:12] >> No, it's a Pumpton Lakes thing, but it
[10:14] listed Dr. Roma in Riverdale.
[10:16] >> Yeah. as the doctor on file and I just
[10:18] know some of Allie's policies and I just
[10:22] >> want
[10:23] >> Is he a valet doctor?
[10:24] >> It's a valet doctor.
[10:28] [clears throat]
[10:29] >> Did he just get himself in trouble?
[10:31] >> Oh, [laughter]
[10:31] >> if he knows.
[10:33] >> I was going to say if she knows cuz
[10:34] that's the big thing cuz
[10:37] >> I was wondering that.
[10:39] >> Okay. I'll have to find out.
[10:42] Ma'am
[10:44] position.
[10:45] >> Got it.
[10:48] on call. You mean a physician on call or
[10:51] >> it's a medical procedure technically. So
[10:53] they're basically saying you need to
[10:54] have a physician's
[10:56] >> uh like a sign overview.
[10:58] >> Yeah. Overview.
[11:00] >> To put together their policies to do
[11:04] >> Katie's probably right. I mean Valley's
[11:05] a big place. I don't know. You know,
[11:06] sounds odd they would take that on. A
[11:08] lot of little family practice. when I
[11:10] worked for Valley in that same office,
[11:12] we used to do it and then the Valley um
[11:16] legal department stopped us and and even
[11:18] though we had contracts with different
[11:20] camps and different places in the area,
[11:23] they did not want to be in that business
[11:24] [cough] any longer, [clears throat]
[11:25] so they stopped it.
[11:27] >> I'll get that paper.
[11:29] >> No, no, that's I I just, you know,
[11:31] >> I'm just was like, "Oh, look at this."
[11:36] >> Yeah. that they're forging or changing
[11:39] something which sometimes we don't know
[11:41] anything but
[11:42] >> they can trouble.
[11:44] >> It actually has a new manager over there
[11:46] who may not know.
[11:47] >> They may not know
[11:48] >> that they can't just
[11:50] >> do this.
[11:51] >> Mhm.
[11:52] >> What are they doing? The doctors on
[11:53] staff or what is that?
[11:55] >> You have to have a doctor oversee any be
[11:58] in charge of any procedures. It doesn't
[12:00] mean that they have to be on premises
[12:03] but and depending upon the procedure
[12:06] >> for a tattoo par
[12:07] >> no for cosmetic which is basically a
[12:10] tattoo but yes
[12:12] >> I guess it's like
[12:12] >> but it's like the eyes
[12:14] >> your eyes your lips that kind of
[12:17] >> could be reconstructive could be
[12:19] >> you can get tattooed eyebrows if you
[12:21] want
[12:22] >> I was thinking about that [laughter]
[12:26] okay just was curious
[12:28] but it seems like most of the
[12:29] restaurants were all all checked out. I
[12:33] mean, there was no real
[12:34] >> what's that?
[12:35] >> Thankfully, just
[12:36] >> Yeah, it didn't seem like there was any
[12:37] like major problems that I was
[12:39] >> No, I mean, with Mr. Suchi and Mr. Ramen
[12:41] from last year's report, I guess Gabby
[12:43] got
[12:45] >> That's good news.
[12:46] >> Yeah,
[12:47] >> that's good [laughter] news.
[12:48] >> Yeah.
[12:48] >> Would you eat there?
[12:50] >> I actually wouldn't eat at most places.
[12:52] Even [snorts] in Humbok, I think I only
[12:54] had like six places that I eat at like
[12:56] 300.
[12:57] >> That's interesting.
[12:59] I was surprised at the number of places
[13:01] with broken dishwashers, including
[13:03] Lincoln School.
[13:05] >> Yeah,
[13:05] >> you had like three three different
[13:08] places, I think, had broken dishwashers
[13:09] or something. And I was like, "Oh, I
[13:11] don't know if I would like I'd like to
[13:14] believe that, you know, like at home, I
[13:16] even use this sanitizing uh thing
[13:18] sometimes." Yeah.
[13:19] >> A lot of them don't check that's the
[13:20] problem. And it's not necessarily it
[13:22] doesn't get the temperature or the
[13:24] disinfectant isn't going in and and
[13:28] they don't check a lot of unfortunately.
[13:30] >> Yeah. The company I think it's homework
[13:32] that they need.
[13:33] >> Mhm.
[13:33] >> They were aware of it but they need to
[13:35] get pieces and then the holidays
[13:40] but they had it closed.
[13:46] » And again when you go into these you're
[13:48] not going into these places on
[13:50] schedules. Correct. You just go in there
[13:51] randomly whenever you deem you should go
[13:54] in there.
[13:55] >> It has to be once a year or more.
[13:57] >> We try to get in more.
[13:59] >> Right.
[14:00] >> Interesting.
[14:01] >> By law, it's once a year. But
[14:06] » we're for twice.
[14:07] >> Yeah. At least twice. We're trying to
[14:09] get
[14:10] >> Okay,
[14:10] >> that's great.
[14:12] >> I mean, you know, the the previous
[14:14] administration of
[14:16] >> Yeah. you know, used to schedule vac
[14:18] worked as a health inspector in another
[14:20] community and scheduled his vacation for
[14:23] like the first week or second week of
[14:25] July and everyone knew they were getting
[14:27] inspected during that week.
[14:29] >> It was once a year during that week and
[14:31] that was
[14:32] >> that was how it was done.
[14:33] [clears throat] And then we switched
[14:35] over.
[14:36] >> It was Yeah. Well, that was Pumpton
[14:38] Lakes and then we switched over and
[14:40] things changed which was
[14:42] >> for the best. It took us a while to to
[14:45] clean up some of the stuff.
[14:47] >> The element of surprise is what helps us
[14:49] during inspections coming and they
[14:52] prepare and they're great for that week
[14:54] and
[14:54] >> Right. And I mean even the vape shops
[14:56] and stuff like they could put things
[14:58] away and all. This is great that you
[14:59] know you just walk in. I think you saw
[15:01] it in one of them. Um there was a
[15:03] flavored one or something in one of
[15:05] them.
[15:06] >> Unfortunately
[15:08] >> or everybody magically picks up a mop.
[15:10] [laughter]
[15:13] starts
[15:15] >> like you calm down. You're not going to
[15:16] fix it now.
[15:20] » Okay.
[15:22] Um,
[15:23] any more questions about staff reports?
[15:27] >> No.
[15:27] >> Okay. Um, All right. So, we'll

[15:36] Correspondence.
