Board approves three enforcement actions including mobile home park sewage and food safety violations
The Board of Health voted unanimously to approve three enforcement actions presented by environmental health staff.

The first action involved New Park Event Venue and Suites and related operating‑without‑a‑permit issues. The motion to approve was moved and received a first and second from board members; the vote was unanimous.

The second enforcement action addressed untreated sewage at Kanshaw Village Mobile Home Park (referred to in staff materials as the mobile home park enforcement item). The motion to approve was moved, with Ravinder giving the first and Samara the second; the board approved the action unanimously.

The third enforcement item concerned hazardous food temperatures—specifically unsafe cold holding—at an organization identified in the meeting as BOP. The motion to approve that enforcement action passed unanimously (first from a board member noted as "our vendor," second from Melissa).

During discussion, a board member asked why mobile home parks commonly present water and sewage problems; environmental health staff explained that many issues come to attention through complaints and routine inspections but that the department has limited regulatory authority over private drinking water wells. Staff said they will return if further complaints arise.

All three enforcement items were recorded by staff as approved; no additional penalties or enforcement details beyond the motion language were presented in the public meeting record.
