No person shall operate a permanent food facility in the City
of Sunbury without first obtaining a license to operate a public eating
and drinking place from the City Health Officer. The license shall
be posted in the food facility in a conspicuous place so as to be
seen by customers, vendors, employees, and patrons of the subject
facility. The license remains the property of the City Board of Health
and shall be surrendered on demand from the City Health Officer, or
other City official acting on behalf of the City Board of Health.
Such license is valid for one year from date of issue.
The license fee shall be as may be set from time to time by
resolution of the City Council. Failure to pay such fee shall be sufficient
reason for the revocation of such license by the Health Officer.
The Health Officer may suspend or revoke the license on grounds
of the owner/operator's failure to comply with the provisions of the
Food Code. The owner/operator shall have the right to appeal the Health
Officer's action, within 30 days of notice of the action, to the City
Board of Health.
Samples of food and drink may be taken and examined by the Health
Officer as often as deemed necessary for the detection of unwholesomeness
or adulteration. The Health Officer may condemn and forbid the sale
of, or cause to be removed or destroyed, any food or drink which is
deemed unwholesome or adulterated.
The Health Officer shall inspect every permanent food facility
within the City of Sunbury according to the standards set forth by
the Department of Agriculture prior to issue or renewal of a license.
The Health Officer may inspect any food facility upon request by the
proprietor or upon the receipt of a complaint about the food safety
or as a random spot inspection at any time. The Health Officer shall
provide a copy of the inspection report to the owner/operator; enter
the report into the system as designated by the Department of Agriculture;
and retain a copy of the report on file in the City Clerk's office.
Reports shall be available for public review.
A. In case the Health Officer discovers any improper sanitation measures,
a second inspection shall be scheduled after the lapse of such time
as deemed necessary for the defect to be remedied, and the second
inspection shall be used in determining compliance with the requirements
of this chapter.
B. Two consecutive inspections showing the same violation shall call
for an immediate suspension of a license.
Any retail food establishment, the license of which has been
suspended, may at any time make application for the reinstatement
of the license for a fee as shall be set from time to time by resolution
of the City Council.
